Fifth Soul Ring

"Who told you my Soul Skill was a Mental attribute one?"

Huo Yuhao stared fixedly at Dai Huabin, wind blades whirling within his blood-red eyes.

His feet shifted rapidly, ghostlike, as he swiftly closed in on Dai Huabin. At the same time, a Soul Tool crossbow appeared in his hand and instantly fired three arrows.

At the same time, his soul ring lit up with white light.

Dai Huabin was startled by Huo Yuhao's unhinged appearance. Without hesitation, he immediately unleashed a Soul Skill.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protective Cover!"

The three arrows struck his White Tiger Protective Cover and were instantly deflected.

This was an internal academy match. Although Soul Tools were permitted, their grade was strictly restricted. The crossbow in Huo Yuhao's hand was nowhere near strong enough to break Dai Huabin's White Tiger Protective Cover.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Slightly angered, Dai Huabin directly activated his third Soul Skill.

"Today, I'll show you the price of provoking the strong!"

The muscles all over his body swelled, black stripes emerging across his skin. His entire body abruptly grew much larger as he charged toward Huo Yuhao.

A vicious glint flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"

Halfway through his charge, Dai Huabin abruptly unleashed his second Soul Skill without warning. The Hundred-Year Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, came hurtling straight at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's expression remained cold, as though he had anticipated it all along.

His feet shifted from side to side, and afterimages seemed to form around his body as he dodged the light wave.

Meanwhile, his first soul ring remained lit the entire time.

Dai Huabin was also puzzled. What exactly was the effect of Huo Yuhao's Mental attribute Soul Skill? Why had it been active for so long without showing any effect at all?

Only five meters remained between them.

Huo Yuhao finally could not hold back any longer.

A full seven wind blades condensed around his body.

The seven wind blades shot out, carving arcs through the air and completely sealing off Dai Huabin.

"What?!"

Dai Huabin had no time to react.

Even though Huo Yuhao had said it was not a Mental attribute Soul Skill, he did not believe him. Huo Yuhao's mental state looked far too unstable—no one would believe the words of someone who looked like a madman.

Especially when faint mental fluctuations seemed to accompany his speech. That was clearly abnormal mental behavior. Shrek had been in session for nearly a month, and all the students knew there was a lunatic in this year's class.

Even Zhou Yi revealed a surprised expression.

She had watched Huo Yuhao fight many times and knew perfectly well that his Soul Skills were of the mental type. How could they possibly also have the effect of condensing wind blades?

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were equally astonished.

What shocked them was not the effect of Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill, but the flight paths of the seven wind blades.

They had been launched using the Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques. The enemy had no way to escape them, and their angles were vicious, aimed entirely at vital points.

The moment the wind blades turned in midair, both Dai Huabin and Zhou Yi were caught completely off guard.

They were already difficult to evade. Dai Huabin adjusted his posture, intending only to block two of the wind blades with his crossed arms while letting the rest graze past him.

But as the wind blades shifted direction, every one of them stabbed toward his weak points.

There was no time to dodge.

Pfft! Pfft!

The wind blades drew blood and instantly dissolved.

Just as Dai Huabin was about to fly into a rage, he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. In particular, when he met Huo Yuhao's blood-red eyes again, a deep violet light crashed into him, leaving him completely unable to defend himself.

Gritting his teeth, Huo Yuhao knocked him to the ground. His hands turned crystalline like jade, incomparably hard, and stabbed viciously into the two wounds cut open by the wind blades, twisting them.

"Ah!"

The intense pain jolted Dai Huabin awake. He too became ruthless. With the enhancement of his third Soul Skill, powerful force poured into Huo Yuhao's back as he struck down three times in succession.

Dai Huabin's hands were like tiger claws. Each strike was a heavy blow against the completely unprotected Huo Yuhao, sending shock through his internal organs.

Yet Huo Yuhao merely clenched his hands tighter and viciously twisted Dai Huabin's wounds.

Seeing how ruthless they both were, their injuries rapidly worsened in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Yi realized the severity of the situation.

This could not continue. Otherwise, both of their cultivation would be affected.

"Stop! This match ends here!"

"Senior Brother Lei Zhen is still digesting the blood ginseng. Let's wait until he's finished and say goodbye to him before we leave."

"Alright."

After Chen Dong arranged a room for Chen Ming, he returned to his own room to begin recovering his Soul Power.

Chen Ming did not wait idly. Instead, he entered a cultivation state.

Meditation Space.

Outside Chen Ming's body, an illusory halo had already condensed, lacking only the most crucial catalyst.

This situation had lasted for ten days. Ever since Tian Meng's Origin had been obtained, it had remained this way.

"Soon. My fifth soul ring is about to emerge."

Chen Ming's consciousness sank into the Sea of Consciousness.

Sea of Consciousness.

Chen Ming's Soul Martial Soul floated within the Sea of Souls. Deep within his soul, the five glowing objects surrounding the enormous gate underwent changes. Among them, the Soul Suppressing Stele had completely detached from that area and was gradually revealing itself outward, as though it wanted to break free from the Soul Martial Soul.

As the Soul Suppressing Stele continuously emerged, Tian Meng's Origin, which Chen Ming had only recently sealed away, was also being infused into the Soul Suppressing Stele bit by bit.

The entire process proceeded steadily.

Finally, after another three days, the Soul Suppressing Stele solidified into form.

And at the instant it condensed, it vanished from Chen Ming's Sea of Consciousness and arrived in the Meditation Space.

The Soul Suppressing Stele merged into that illusory soul ring.

"I shall use my body to draw in the past and connect to the future!"

Chen Ming shouted. It was as though an additional source had appeared within his body in an instant, and his soul power immediately broke through the bottleneck of level fifty.

Outside his body, the phantom of his true body enveloped him as soul rings appeared one after another.

Purple, black, black, black, black.

The transformation was not over yet. Above his head, a Soul Suppressing Stele appeared.

Around the Soul Suppressing Stele, rings upon rings of soul rings manifested. However, these soul rings were all illusory, as though they had never existed to begin with. There were only seven soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and three black—a merely ordinary optimal configuration.

After these soul rings appeared, they quickly transformed into wisps of light and merged into the Soul Suppressing Stele. At the same time, a large amount of milky-white energy surged from Chen Ming's body, merging into the Soul Suppressing Stele together with the light formed by those illusory soul rings.

As the milky-white energy came into contact with the light formed by the illusory soul rings, that illusory light seemed to become more solid.

Fortunately, Chen Ming had Electrolux conceal all the disturbances within the room. Otherwise, the Mad Saber Sect outside would surely have descended into chaos. As Chen Ming carried out his operation, the aura of his fifth soul ring began to fluctuate. The already pitch-black soul ring became even deeper, like a bottomless black hole that swallowed all light and brought endless pressure, making even the surrounding air feel heavy.

Finally, when the blackness reached its deepest extreme, a brilliant scarlet radiance burst forth!

Yu Tianlong transmigrated into Douluo.

The good news: he became a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

The bad news: he was an orphan.

The good news: he was a direct-line descendant, and barring any accidents, he was guaranteed to awaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!

The bad news: his martial soul awakening mutation failed. It was even more worthless than Yu Xiaogang's. Yu Xiaogang's dragon became a pig, while his dragon became an insect—and he did not even have Yu Xiaogang's background!

However, just as he was about to be expelled from the clan, Yu Tianlong discovered that his martial soul seemed a little different.

It was actually nearly identical to Void Terror from League of Legends, the game he had played in his previous life!

To verify his suspicions, Yu Tianlong began experimenting on living creatures.

Once he confirmed that his martial soul was Void Terror, Yu Tianlong smiled.

So what if his Innate Soul Power was 0.1? So what if he could not rely on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? He could devour and evolve without limit!

After evolving, Yu Tianlong discovered that his martial soul possessed all the advantages of the Void race. How were any of you supposed to compete with that?!

Years later, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan looked at the terrifying colossal beast behind Yu Tianlong that blotted out the sky and fell into endless panic!

Yu Yuanzhen even pleaded in a mournful voice:

"Would it still be of any use if I said I'm sorry now?"
