Compatible Soul Ring (Please Add to Favorites!!!)

Wind Baboon?

Su Wen looked at Feng Yuan in surprise.

"Mm. Just call me Uncle Feng."

Su Yuntao's face darkened.

That old Feng still loved taking advantage of people as much as ever.

"Brother Tao, there's no need to keep waiting," Su Wen said.

As the person involved, how could he not be eager to absorb a soul ring?

"Fine."

The group of four arrived at the Soul Hunting Forest.

When the well-equipped guards saw the Spirit Hall deacon robes on Su Yuntao and the other two, they all saluted.

Still, saluting was one thing; the warrant that needed checking still had to be checked.

After confirming there was nothing wrong with the warrant, Su Yuntao had the three of them surround Su Wen from three directions and led him into the Soul Hunting Forest.

"Although they say it's captive breeding, all the Empire did was fence off this forest. Most of the soul beasts inside still grew naturally, and their wild nature remains." Su Yuntao's expression was grave. He even temporarily gave up flirting and stressed the safety details to Su Wen.

There were Hundred-Year Soul Beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, and quite a few of them, but overall, ten-year soul beasts still made up the majority.

The four of them searched for half the day and did discover three soul beasts over a hundred years old.

However, none of them were what Su Wen needed, so the four of them took wide detours around those Hundred-Year Soul Beasts from afar.

"Plant Soul Beasts are relatively rare, but there is an area in this Soul Hunting Forest where there are more of them," Si Si said.

Her martial soul was Whip, and when she had obtained her soul ring, she had also searched for Plant Soul Beasts, so she had some understanding of the distribution of Plant Soul Beasts within this Soul Hunting Forest.

"Wait!" Su Yuntao said, looking cautious.

Instinctively, he sensed danger.

At that moment, he was in the state of Martial Soul Possession, and his pair of green eyes swept over their surroundings.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on strands of dark-green vines.

"Ghost Vine!"

There was actually Ghost Vine in this Soul Hunting Forest!

Ghost Vine counted as a comparatively high-grade soul beast. Even though it was a Plant Soul Beast and could not move conveniently, hunting it was no easier than hunting most animal-type soul beasts.

Its strongest ability was parasitism. Soul Masters were often parasitized by Ghost Vine before they even realized it.

It parasitized enemies with spores containing Soul Power, then activated them instantly. Combined with the Ghost Vine's own toxicity and toughness, it could bind them in an instant.

"This Ghost Vine is at least six hundred years old. Let's try to go around it." Si Si observed the patterns on the Ghost Vine's vines, inferred its age, and reminded the other three to keep their distance.

A Ghost Vine at least six hundred years old?

Su Wen guessed inwardly, Could this be the Ghost Vine Tang San hunted in the Original Work?

They continued searching nearby.

"Xiao Wen, your luck is pretty good!" A trace of excitement showed in Su Yuntao's green pupils.

Following Su Yuntao's gaze, Su Wen saw the source of his excitement.

It was a purple fruit tree three meters tall, giving off a faint starlike glow. On the tree were nine purple fruits interspersed with either yellow or white patterns.

"A Star Fruit Tree. This fruit tree absolutely wouldn't be a loss as your First Soul Ring. And since it has produced three Star Fruits with yellow patterns and six with white patterns at the same time, it should have a cultivation of three hundred and sixty years."

Three hundred and sixty years was more than enough to serve as a First Soul Ring.

Su Wen had also seen an introduction to the Star Fruit Tree in the library.

The Star Fruits produced by a Star Fruit Tree were great treasures to soul beasts, able to directly increase a soul beast's strength.

Producing one Star Fruit with white patterns meant ten years of cultivation.

Once it reached a hundred years, ten white-patterned Star Fruits would fall off, and it would produce a new Star Fruit with yellow patterns.

Around a Star Fruit Tree, there would generally be soul beasts guarding it, waiting for the Star Fruits to fall before devouring them.

Fruit forcibly picked could not be eaten. Once the raging Star Power within entered the body, not only could it not be digested, it might instead wreak havoc inside the body and cause severe internal injuries.

The fruit tree's cultivation was actually the process by which the Star Fruit Tree refined this raging Star Power into gentle Soul Power.

It absorbed Star Power to produce fruit, then refined the raging Star Power. Of the refined Star Power, one portion was converted into gentle energy and remained in the Star Fruit's seed, while another portion became the Star Fruit Tree's own strength.

After that, the fruit tree continued absorbing Star Power, guiding it into the Star Fruits to store it and carry out the transformation.

"The Star Fruit Tree meets your requirements. Its Soul Power is definitely abundant enough." Su Yuntao stared at the Violent Bear beneath the Star Fruit Tree, staying alert while waiting for Su Wen's attitude.

Did he want it or not?

"Star Fruit Trees are usually refined by Support System Soul Masters, and they can obtain strengthening-type support Soul Skills. The effects are maximized especially after Food System Soul Masters absorb them. Xiao Wen, your Book Martial Soul is very compatible with taking the support route. Even without developing techniques, under the guidance of the fruit tree's power, you're very likely to obtain a powerful support Soul Skill," Si Si said.

The soul ring's own characteristics were extremely clear. Even without developing the martial soul, and without any techniques, one would still obtain a corresponding Soul Skill under the soul ring's guidance.

In order to obtain a suitable Soul Skill, she had researched materials related to martial souls and Soul Skills.

Su Wen nodded and said, "Brother Tao, Uncle Feng, Sister Si Si, sorry to trouble you."

Star Fruit Tree!

This was absolutely the soul ring best suited to him as his First Soul Ring.

"The Star Fruit Tree is tempered and continually improved through the constant refinement of Star Power. It'll be beneficial for tempering my martial soul and for refining all kinds of energy in the future to strengthen my source."

Moreover, most importantly, Su Wen asked himself and knew that his development of his martial soul was highly compatible with the Star Fruit Tree.

"Strengthening-type Soul Skill..."

An auxiliary Soul Skill?

Su Wen laughed inwardly.

Sorry, but my development of my martial soul also goes in a strengthening direction. It's just that the target of that strengthening is my own martial soul.

Whether it was using soul power to temporarily enhance the Book Pages he manifested, or directly using Original Soul Power to strengthen his martial soul, both were paths Su Wen had developed in the strengthening direction.

"I hope I can get the result I want."

As Su Wen was thinking, Su Yuntao and the others had already begun fighting.

Feng Yuan entered Martial Soul Possession. Faint azure currents of air swirled around his body, his build became much stronger, and his hands transformed into powerful claws.

A purple Whip appeared in Si Si's hand. She stood behind Su Yuntao and Feng Yuan, while also faintly watching over Su Wen.

The Violent Bear became wary the instant it discovered the four of them. The moment Su Yuntao and the others entered Martial Soul Possession, the soul power inside its body surged violently.

"Roar!"

"This Violent Bear has at least five hundred years of cultivation. Be careful!"

Su Yuntao turned into a green afterimage and arrived at the Violent Bear's flank. Wind Attribute soul power swirled around Feng Yuan as he was about to clash head-on with the Violent Bear.

Si Si lashed out with the long whip in her hand, sending it coiling toward the Violent Bear's right leg.

Su Wen's heart was somewhat stirred at this moment.

He observed the situation on the field rather calmly. Before him, a book radiating a soft glow was already hovering, while Book Pages circled and danced around him, ready to respond to any possible danger at any time.

"Sister Si Si, fight with all your strength."
