Anna's First Spirit Ability

"Not bad, this is the one!"

Dai Weisi was immediately overjoyed. This Bloodthirsty Vine was somewhat like the Ghost Vine that Tang San had hunted when absorbing his Second Soul Ring. Both were soul beasts that parasitized other plants and absorbed their nutrients.

The Bloodthirsty Vine's greatest characteristic was the dense barbs covering its body, which could absorb nutrients from plants as its own energy.

If Anna could kill it and absorb its Soul Ring, she would likely obtain a similar spirit ability.

"Nana, this is a Bloodthirsty Vine soul beast nearing seven hundred years of cultivation. It's very suitable as your Soul Ring. But its age is a little high. I don't know whether you'll be able to absorb it..."

"Weisi Gege, I'm willing to try. If I can't do it, please stop me in time." Tenacity shone in Anna's eyes, and her expression was exceptionally serious, without the slightest hint of a joke. She carried the air of someone prepared to stake everything on a single throw.

Dai Weisi nodded lightly at the sight. He had been in the same situation when absorbing his Fourth Soul Ring. Without madness, there could be no survival; without success, there could only be death!

"Good! Nana, since you possess such strong willpower, you'll definitely succeed! Uncle Li, I'll leave it to you. Pull that Bloodthirsty Vine down for me!"

"Yes!"

Against a seven-hundred-year plant-based soul beast, Li Hu did not even need to summon his Martial Spirit. He gathered soul power beneath his feet, then leaped into the air!

With a whoosh, he reached the Bloodthirsty Vine in the blink of an eye and grabbed one of its vines with his large hand.

His legs seemed glued in place as his body formed a ninety-degree angle against the trunk, standing firmly upon it. Then he exerted his strength and easily pulled the Bloodthirsty Vine from the tree.

The Bloodthirsty Vine that fell to the ground wriggled like a Red Chain Snake, as though it sensed danger and wanted to flee this troublesome place.

But it was ultimately a plant, and its mobility was not that great—only a little faster than an earthworm.

Dai Weisi took out a dagger and handed it to Anna. "Nana, quickly finish off this Bloodthirsty Vine. Just cut it into several pieces, then prepare to absorb the Soul Ring."

"Alright."

Anna took the dagger and showed no mercy. With a single slash, she cut the Bloodthirsty Vine in two.

If her opponent had been an animal, she might have felt some sympathy. But for a plant... Anna felt absolutely none. After all, she had no idea how much grass she had stepped on and killed over the years.

After cutting the Bloodthirsty Vine into eight pieces, pale yellow soul power emerged from its body and condensed in the air into a beautiful Soul Ring, floating before Anna.

"Nana, now!"

"Understood, Gege!"

Anna immediately sat cross-legged and followed the method Dai Weisi had taught her, adding the Soul Ring to her Martial Spirit.

Boom!

As the Soul Ring attached itself to her Martial Spirit, a vast and terrifying energy flooded into her small body.

At that moment, Anna was like an ascetic meditating beneath a waterfall. The soul power was that waterfall plunging down from above. If she could withstand its impact, her strength would surely rise to a new level. But if she was swept away by the torrent, she would certainly die!

Anna clenched her teeth and relied on her unyielding will to resist the impact of the soul power. Beads of sweat the size of beans seeped from her forehead, and cold sweat drenched her entire body, soaking through her clothes.

"First Prince, isn't a seven-hundred-year Soul Ring too much for Miss Anna?" Li Hu could not help asking in surprise. In his view, giving a seven-hundred-year Soul Ring to a girl like Anna was no different from sending her to her death.

Yet Dai Weisi merely smiled, fully confident in Anna. "Don't worry, Uncle Li. Nana is very strong, and the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber has made her physique far superior to that of ordinary people. Her Martial Spirit is Hundred Herbs, so absorbing a plant-based soul beast's Soul Ring will go very smoothly."

Dai Weisi waited patiently. Two hours later, Anna had passed the dangerous stage and was absorbing the soul power within the Soul Ring. After that, she would become even stronger!

Seeing this, Li Hu also let out a sigh of relief. Though she had a plant-based Martial Spirit, Innate Soul Power Level 9 still made her a rare genius. He did not want such an outstanding talent to perish like this.

Another half hour passed before Anna opened her beautiful eyes. The first person she saw was Dai Weisi. Smiling, she said, "Weisi Gege, I succeeded! I successfully absorbed the Soul Ring! I'm finally a Soul Master too!"

"That's right! Congratulations, Nana. You're a Soul Master now as well." Dai Weisi smiled and pinched the little girl's soft cheeks.

Then he asked the question on his mind. "Nana, what level is your soul power now? And what is your First Spirit Ability?"

"Gege, my soul power has already reached Level 13!"

"Level 13? Not bad!"

Dai Weisi nodded lightly. He remembered that after Tang San absorbed his First Soul Ring, his soul power had also reached Level 13. But Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power and had also cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill for three months.

Anna, on the other hand, had rushed to obtain her First Soul Ring as soon as her soul power broke through Level 10. It was clear that the seven-hundred-year Soul Ring had provided her with abundant soul power.

"Nana, what is your First Spirit Ability?"

Anna explained, "Gege, my First Spirit Ability possesses the Bloodthirsty Vine's ability to absorb the essence of plants. Watch carefully!"

She walked up to a large tree, summoned her Hundred Herbs Martial Spirit, and poured soul power into her Soul Ring. The Soul Ring suddenly burst forth with a pale yellow glow.

Her Hundred Herbs Martial Spirit also underwent a dramatic transformation. The warm green grass from before had turned blood-red and become covered in barbs, looking exactly like a Bloodthirsty Vine.

"First Spirit Ability: Bloodthirsty Entanglement!"

Anna cried out sweetly. The Hundred Herbs abruptly transformed into blood-colored vines that tightly wrapped around the tree before her. Their barbs suddenly lengthened and hardened like steel needles, piercing through the trunk and drawing out the tree's essence.

At once, the tree began to wither at a visible rate. In just two minutes, it had completely died, while Anna's soul power rose slightly.

Dai Weisi could not help revealing a shocked expression. "Nana, is this your First Spirit Ability?"

"Yes, Gege." Anna nodded. "My First Spirit Ability allows me to absorb the essence of plants and convert that absorbed essence into my soul power, allowing me to cultivate quickly.

"At the same time, I can directly absorb the soul power of all kinds of plant-based soul beasts without suffering the danger of my body exploding. But I can only absorb the soul power of plant-based soul beasts; I cannot absorb that of animal-type soul beasts.

"And this is also a growth-type spirit ability. As my strength increases, the faster I'll be able to absorb plant essence."

"Oh my god, this is practically a Divine Skill!" Dai Weisi said in delight. "Although this spirit ability doesn't have much offensive power, it's extremely practical. With this ability, you can raise your level in a short time."

"Nana, I believe it won't be many years before you become a powerful expert!"

According to Dai Weisi's estimate, even if Anna's Bloodthirsty Entanglement Spirit Ability could not absorb a Soul Master's Soul Power, its sharp barbs made it no less formidable in terms of attack power than Tang San's Blue Silver Entanglement.

And since both could be used to aid cultivation and rapidly increase Soul Power, what more could one ask for?
