Make Spirit Rings Even Cooler!

Following the map, Zhou Qing and his group followed the thick, flat, crooked, dark gray path that had been trodden out by generations of Soul Master, and found the area where the Emerald Fern grew.

Along the way, the group encountered many Soul Beasts that were Ten-Year or even a hundred years old, but these Soul Beast fled far away after hearing some noise.

"The Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest are different from those in the Nuoding Soul Hunting Forest."

"In the Nuoding Soul Hunting Forest, even Ten-Year Soul Beast are extremely aggressive, while the Hundred-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest will not think of attacking people immediately when they see them, but will run away or hide."

Romantina found this situation very strange.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the Soul Beast Forest in the Star Dou Great Forest, a purely wild forest of Soul Beast, be more aggressive?

Why is it reversed?

"Food problem."

Zhou Qing gave the first reason. "The Soul Beast Forest has been completely controlled by humans. Every Soul Beast killed there is one less. However, Soul Beast cultivate slowly. Carnivorous Soul Beast will not be able to obtain food due to the reduction of herbivorous Soul Beast. As food becomes scarce, in order to cultivate, or perhaps just to fill their stomachs, the carnivorous Soul Beast living in the Nuoding Forest have no choice but to attack human Soul Master who enter it."

"For most Soul Beast, survival is the first instinct."

"In this Star Dou Great Forest, there are many kinds of Soul Beast and a huge number of them. There is no need for them to attack humans for food."

"Didn't we hear about this in the towns outside? Soul Master waste a lot of time hunting Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. Besides searching for the traces of Soul Beast, they also spend the rest of their time chasing after the corresponding Soul Beast after they find them."

"The Soul Beast in this Star Dou Great Forest, apart from a few that are extremely aggressive, will choose to flee into the dense forest as soon as they realize they are no match for Soul Master, rather than fighting to the death with Soul Master."

At this moment, Tang San had already walked into the Emerald Fern thicket and found an Emerald Fern that was about half a meter tall.

The age of Emerald Fern is calculated by the number of nodes in its rhizome. It grows one node every ten years, and this Emerald Fern has one hundred and three nodes in its rhizome, which means it has already reached the level of a thousand years.

Plant Soul Beast are more difficult to cultivate than animal-based Soul Beast, and they are also less aggressive.

Even though the Emerald Fern has cultivated for a thousand years, it is still difficult for it to move. Moreover, since this Plant Soul Beast, the Emerald Fern, has no offensive abilities, it is extremely easy to hunt it.

Tang San took out a Jade Ruler and cut off the stem of the thousand-year-old Emerald Fern. A light purple Soul Ring then appeared.

Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, circulated his Soul Power, and drew the thousand-year-level Soul Ring over, fitting it into his soul ring and instantly entering the refining process.

At this moment, Romantina was also possessed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, using her Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing to assist Tang San in completing the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement.

When Bu Yi saw that Tang San's Second Spirit Ring resembled Emerald Fern but had Blue Silver patterns, she immediately realized that the Dancing Winter Rabbit pattern on Zhou Qing's Second Spirit Ring was not because that Soul Ring was special, but because Romantina's Soul Skill had played a special role in it.

"What's going on here?" Bu Yi glanced at Zhou Qing.

"Actually, we used Romantina's Brain Martial Soul to develop other uses for her First Soul Skill, in order to study the connection between Martial Soul and Soul Ring. We found a result: Soul Ring can Secondary Refinement."

After spending these days together, Zhou Qing gained a better understanding of Bu Yi's personality, and then said something that was half-true and half-false.

"The Secondary Refinement Soul Ring will reveal the patterns of Soul Beast?" Bu Yi suddenly realized. "No wonder you didn't release your Martial Soul and Soul Ring during the Friendly Tournament; you were worried about attracting attention."

Zhou Qing was also helpless.

If only the Martial Soul is displayed, it's fine, but once in combat, the Soul Power circulation speeds up, and the Soul Ring will be revealed, which is extremely troublesome.

However, Zhou Qing no longer faces this risk, as he awakened his Mind-Sense Qi Field during his confrontation with Sword Douluo in Falling Star City, allowing his Soul Ring to exist within his body.

In reality, the Soul Ring is still attached to the Martial Soul. However, since his Martial Soul, the Blood Circulation System, is attached to his own real Blood Circulation System, the Soul Ring does not need to be exposed on the surface of his body.

This is something that Tang San and Xiao Wu could not do.

Therefore, in the near future, we still need to rely on Romantina to publish relevant theoretical conjectures so that the world can have a related concept.

"So, what is the purpose of this kind of Soul Ring after Secondary Refinement?" Bu Yi asked.

"First of all, we need to make the Soul Ring even cooler."

Zhou Qing raised his first index finger.

Bu Yi: "..."

"Secondly, it's faster to release Soul Skill," Zhou Qing continued. "In addition, it consumes less soul Soul Power when using Soul Skill of the same power, and the Soul Ring itself grows along with the Martial Soul and the Soul Master's cultivation."

"That sounds really good... Wait, does that mean the age of Soul Ring can also increase as the Soul Master's cultivation level improves?" Bu Yi was stunned at first, but finally focused on the word "growth" and couldn't help but exclaim, "It can evolve into the ten-thousand-year level?"

"In theory, there is no upper limit to evolution; it can take up to Hundred-Thousand-Year."

At this point, Zhou Qing looked at Romantina, who was possessed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and said meaningfully, "Now, Bu Yi should understand who has the highest status in our team, right?"

"Currently, only with the help of her Brain Martial Soul can Soul Master possibly complete this step."

Bu Yi's eyes widened in surprise.

But then Zhou Qing's lips curled up, like a devil from hell, as he tempted her, "Sister Bu Yi, do you want Soul Ring with patterns?"

Bu Yi swallowed hard, opened her mouth, and found herself at a loss for words in front of this six-year-old child who was already almost as tall as herself.

Then, realizing what she had done, she tapped Zhou Qing on the head with a stick, squinted, and scolded, "You actually dared to bribe your teacher? You've really grown some guts!"

"Bribery? How could that be?" Zhou Qing immediately shook his head. "I just hope that Bu Yi can break through to a level that no previous Elemental Fox Martial Soul users could reach in the future."

"Completing the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement will allow me to further deepen my connection with my Martial Soul?" Bu Yi's current greatest desire is to increase her cultivation speed.

"I'm not sure, but it's always good to give it a try. And as I mentioned before, there are benefits to Secondary Refinement your Soul Ring a second time. Although it can't directly increase your strength, the reduction in Soul Power consumed when using Soul Skill is enough to make you last longer than an ordinary Soul Elder!"

Zhou Qing continued to tempt Bu Yi, hoping that she could truly join in.

Bu Yi gave Zhou Qing a strange look before casually teasing, "Endurance? Kids these days are really precocious!"

Zhou Qing: "..."
