Absorbing a Soul Ring! Am I Supporting Myself? (Please Add to Favorites!!!)

"The power of the soul ring washed through me, making my physique even stronger, but that isn't the most important part." Su Wen sensed the changes in himself, guiding his martial soul to absorb the soul ring and feeling the process as the soul ring naturally merged into his martial soul.

For a Soul Master to absorb a soul ring seemed as natural as Heaven's Law and Earth's Right. Once a martial soul reached the corresponding level, using the martial soul to draw in the soul ring of a soul beast one had killed would begin the absorption.

The soul power remaining inside the soul ring circulated through Su Wen's body, tempering it.

He could not sense any special changes from these things.

However, with the help of his talent, Su Wen had Enhanced Perception over himself, and even under normal conditions, he could sense the existence of his Martial Soul Space.

At this moment, during the process of absorbing the soul ring, Su Wen's perception became even clearer. His perception inside his Martial Soul Space even reached the same degree of control he usually had over his own body!

"The soul power of the soul ring belongs to the soul ring in the end. If it wants to become mine, it still has to accept the traits bestowed by my martial soul."

Inside his Martial Soul Space, strands of soul power merged into this space. It was the soul ring's soul power after it had circulated once through Su Wen's body.

It gradually seeped into Su Wen's body.

"This is only a small portion. It can seep in, but it seems like I can speed up the rate of this seepage."

Su Wen was not in a hurry to proceed. He first had to understand every detail of absorbing a soul ring before he would apply his own interference.

Otherwise, if his actions interrupted some process, things would become uncontrollable.

"Is this the Soul Ring Origin?" A unique aura directly merged into the Martial Soul Space, carrying an aura that Su Wen was extremely familiar with.

"The formation of a soul ring absorbs the soul beast's origin into it. The soul beast's origin is the foundation of the soul ring's existence."

As these origins poured into the Martial Soul Space, Su Wen could finally confirm that everything that needed to begin had already begun.

"The Soul Ring Origin merges into the martial soul and strengthens it, while the soul power in the soul ring travels through the meridians throughout the body. Tempering the body may only be incidental. The real reason is that it cannot easily merge into the Martial Soul Space, so it accumulates inside the body. Once the amount of this soul power becomes too vast..."

Once the soul power contained within the soul ring was too vast, a Soul Master's meridians would be unable to withstand the impact of this soul power, and they would explode and die!

After trying it out, Su Wen "ferried" even more of the soul ring's soul power into the Martial Soul Space.

"There's no effect!"

It still circulated through his body, not because it needed to do so, but because it could not enter.

Su Wen opened up his Martial Soul Space, bit by bit, working to squeeze this soul ring soul power inside.

"There's too much. No more can come in!"

Su Wen stopped the operation in time and tried to mobilize the soul ring soul power inside the Martial Soul Space.

This soul ring's soul power was neither the Original Soul Power he had cultivated himself, nor soul power refined by his martial soul and bestowed with its traits. He did not have direct control over it, and could only rely on his Original Soul Power and the preliminary connection he had now established with the soul ring to mobilize it in a simple way.

"It's time to try."

Su Wen mobilized his Original Soul Power, merging it into the martial soul that was currently fusing with the Soul Ring Origin with the finest control possible, avoiding any mistakes.

As the Original Soul Power merged into it, Su Wen's heart also grew more and more excited.

It worked!

The Original Soul Power that merged into it became nourishment for Martial Soul Metamorphosis!

"No, I can't keep merging it in." Su Wen stopped the operation of merging in his Original Soul Power. "First, I'll use up the soul ring's soul power, then merge in the Original Soul Power."

He still needed to use Original Soul Power to control the soul ring soul power, so naturally, he could not consume all of his Original Soul Power first.

The Original Soul Power merged into the martial soul, while the soul ring soul power mobilized by Su Wen merged into the Soul Ring Origin, serving as the energy for the soul ring to transform the martial soul.

"The soul ring's transformation of the martial soul also requires energy. Under normal circumstances, the energy consumed is the Soul Ring Origin, and much of it is used up during the transformation, while the small portion of soul ring soul power that slowly seeps in accounts for an extremely tiny proportion.

I took the initiative to mobilize more soul ring soul power to seep into the Martial Soul Space and merge into the process of the soul ring transforming the martial soul, using it as the energy for the soul ring's transformation. That means less 'meaningless' consumption of the Soul Ring Origin, and it can also transform my martial soul to a greater extent."

The martial soul strengthened bit by bit. Joy welled up from the bottom of Su Wen's heart, and amid his excitement, he summarized the entire process.

"The soul ring soul power transforms the martial soul more roughly, while the Soul Ring Origin's transformation is more thorough. Original Soul Power needs to merge into the martial soul to help it withstand this transformation."

A martial soul might not necessarily be able to endure a metamorphosis.

At this moment, Original Soul Power played its role, serving as backup energy to assist the martial soul in holding on.

Time passed.

Two hours later.

"It actually took this long!"

Generally speaking, when a Soul Master absorbed their First Soul Ring, they would complete it within half an hour.

Su Wen had already exceeded two hours now.

"Don't worry. Xiao Wen's aura has been growing stronger this whole time, and I can sense his martial soul undergoing metamorphosis. This is a good thing." Si Si observed even more carefully. "This soul ring suits him very well!"

At this moment, Su Wen had consumed more than half of the Original Soul Power inside his Martial Soul Space.

"There's a limit to Martial Soul Metamorphosis after all. It has already reached its limit now."

Simply put, it had eaten too much.

Even if he continued merging in Original Soul Power to support it, it could not continue. Otherwise, the martial soul would be damaged from being overfilled.

"There's still some Original Soul Power and soul ring soul power left."

Martial Soul Metamorphosis was complete, and Su Wen also felt his bottleneck break open.

Original Soul Power circulated, merging into the soul power within his body.

The remaining soul ring soul power circulating inside Su Wen's body was also refined into soul power after seeping into his Martial Soul Space, then merged back into Su Wen's body.

Bit by bit, Su Wen refined all the soul power.

Another half hour passed.

When Su Wen opened his eyes, it felt as if a lifetime had passed.

At this moment, his feelings could only be described as incredibly complicated.

He had succeeded!

Absorbing the First Soul Ring was only the most basic part.

To Su Wen, what truly excited him, what truly made the great stone that had been hanging in his heart for so long finally fall, was still the transformation of his martial soul!

"My theory was right!"

The joy of personally proving his own theory successful filled Su Wen with delight.

"Xiao Wen, how is your First Soul Skill?" Su Yuntao could tell from Su Wen's expression that it would not be bad, but he still asked.

However, he did not directly ask Su Wen about the soul skill's effect.

"Brother Tao, the soul skill's effect is great!"

A Soul Master's soul skills were personal secrets and generally would not be revealed to outsiders unless the relationship was especially close.

However, since Su Yuntao and the others had helped hunt the soul ring, Su Wen naturally would not hide everything either.

"My soul skill is an amplification-type soul skill."

"Support System?" Su Yuntao's eyes lit up.

He had already felt that Su Wen taking the Support System path would be easier than other directions, and now that he had learned the type of Su Wen's soul skill, he was happy for him.

"Brother Tao, let me finish." Su Wen helplessly cut Su Yuntao off.

Brother Tao, you're getting excited too soon.

"It is indeed a strengthening-type soul skill, and it's also support-natured, but this soul skill acts on my own martial soul."
