Straight to Level Twenty! Her Innate Soul Power Wasn't Even Used Up Yet?

Straight to Level Twenty! Her Innate Soul Power Wasn't Even Used Up Yet?

Hu Liena's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared intently at Xiao Xuan.

At the same time, she silently stood guard over him.

When a soul master absorbed a soul ring for the first time, there was a considerable chance of something going wrong.

They could even lose their focus.

If they were affected by the lingering consciousness of the soul beast within the soul ring, the absorption could fail and send them into cultivation deviation.

Hu Liena had received professional training, so she naturally understood this perfectly well.

She stood quietly watchful, afraid that something might happen to Xiao Xuan.

Without realizing it, even she herself had failed to notice it.

She was paying a little too much attention to this handsome little boy she had only known for a few hours.

It had even gone somewhat beyond simply nurturing talent for Spirit Hall.

Just as she was thinking that—

Only about a minute passed.

The martial soul behind Xiao Xuan suddenly withdrew and vanished.

His expression was calm, without the slightest trace of pain.

It did not look like he had failed, but how could he have finished so quickly?

"You absorbed the soul ring in one minute?"

"Kid, are you some kind of quick draw?"

Hu Liena's expression slipped slightly, and the surprise in her eyes grew stronger.

Normally, soul masters absorbing a soul ring for the first time would always encounter some detours.

Whether due to mistakes in the process or psychological factors.

Even if they ultimately succeeded, it would still take quite a while.

Moreover, after fully absorbing it, they were theoretically supposed to meditate and consolidate their cultivation.

How could anyone be like Xiao Xuan, opening his eyes the moment he finished absorbing it, then even getting up and bouncing around?!

"Sister Nana, is something wrong?"

As for what was wrong, Hu Liena truly could not say.

But if one claimed everything was fine, the whole thing was clearly bizarre!

She wanted to ask Xiao Xuan exactly how he had managed to absorb the soul ring so quickly.

But after thinking it over, she could only swallow the question back in resignation.

Seeing that innocent expression of his, asking would probably be pointless anyway.

Sigh, perhaps this was talent.

Although Hu Liena had decent aptitude and worked hard enough herself.

She was not like Xiao Xuan, Tang San, or Qian Renxue—freaks with Innate Full Spirit Power.

She simply could not understand how people like that cultivated.

As she thought this, a trace of gentleness returned to her pretty face.

She examined him carefully and asked about his condition with concern.

"How is it? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"If you're in good shape, hurry up and see what soul skill you got!"

"Given your current situation, it would be best if you had some means of protecting yourself. Either offense or defense would work."

"Oh, right. You have Innate Full Spirit Power, so there must have been some accumulation from before."

"Hurry and sense it. What level have you reached now?"

In truth, Xiao Xuan had long known about his soul skill.

After all, it was a system mission reward and had nothing to do with what soul beast he absorbed.

But seeing Hu Liena's expectant eyes, as though she was only a step away from feeling him all over.

Xiao Xuan smiled and decided to satisfy her curiosity.

With a thought, the phantom of the Sky Dragon Martial Soul appeared behind him once again.

At the same time, a pale yellow soul ring emerged.

Xiao Xuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he suddenly extended his right hand.

Aiming his palm at a large tree nearby, Soul Power gradually gathered in his hand before forming into a shining sphere of light.

Dark purple lightning flowed around the body of the Thunder Summon.

With a whoosh, it shot straight toward its target at lightning speed.

The next second, blinding white light burst forth.

A row of large trees ahead was completely annihilated.

Several surrounding rows of trees vanished along with them.

The ground had caved in into an arc-shaped crater. Both the attack's range and power were even more exaggerated than imagined.

"Th... this is the power of a first-ring soul skill?"

"The activation method and appearance are somewhat similar to my second soul skill, Deception Orb."

"But isn't this far too terrifying?!"

It took Hu Liena quite a while to recover from her shock.

After comparing it silently, she nearly became depressed from the comparison.

Under the normal rules governing soul skills, their strength should be tied to the soul ring's age.

Generally speaking, as a soul master's strength increased, every soul ring they absorbed would be stronger than the previous one.

Thus, the power of their soul skills should also continue increasing.

Yet the sight before her completely overturned that notion.

She was, after all, Spirit Hall's nominal Saintess.

Though she had not yet been officially invested, that was only a matter of time.

This alone showed that her talent and strength were far from weak.

Yet the power of her second soul skill was actually weaker than Xiao Xuan's first soul skill.

And judging from his calm, unruffled appearance.

The consumption was clearly not excessive. At the very least, he was not exhausted after one shot.

This discovery made Hu Liena increasingly interested.

Her hidden fondness for cute younger boys showed signs of coming to the surface.

"Your soul skill is incredibly powerful. In terms of damage alone, it's even more terrifying than Yan's."

"That's good, then. At least we won't have to worry about those guys picking fights with you."

"What about your level? Thirteen or fifteen?"

In Hu Liena's mind, she had already estimated very highly.

Yet reality slapped her in the face once again.

Upon hearing her, Xiao Xuan grinned mischievously and suddenly held up two fingers.

"Level twelve?"

"Mhm, that's still pretty good."

"Cultivate diligently from now on, and you'll surely catch up soon... What did you say? Level twenty?!"

Hu Liena had just relaxed, feeling that Xiao Xuan was not outrageously freakish after all.

Then she saw him lightly wiggle his fingers.

With a smile unlike that of a child, he softly uttered three words.

Level twenty!

"My heavens, you really are a little freak!"

"Not only did you start at level ten with Innate Full Spirit Power, you even jumped straight to level twenty!"

"Judging by the look of it, your Innate Soul Power probably hasn't even been used up yet."

"After you absorb another soul ring next time, you'll probably be able to rise a little further."

"This starting point of yours... is far more impressive than your sister's was back then. Is this the talent of the Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul?"

"You little pervert, where exactly is your limit?"

Hu Liena exclaimed repeatedly, unable to stop herself from asking.

But clearly, it was only a helpless cry.

She did not expect him to give her any specific answer.

After speaking, she looked at Xiao Xuan's dumbfounded expression.

A faintly seductive look appeared on her face as she rolled her eyes at him playfully.

Then she waved, signaling him to stop standing around in a daze and hurry up!

This only made Xiao Xuan awkwardly rub his nose.

So she had noticed long ago that he had been sneaking glances at her long legs.

But from the looks of it, Hu Liena did not seem too opposed to it?

Life was becoming more and more promising...

"Sister Nana, aren't we continuing?"

Although Hu Liena seemed seductive on the surface, Xiao Xuan knew very well.

In reality, she was extremely self-disciplined.

It sounded as though she did not mind, but he still should not push things too far.

He immediately changed the subject and asked about their next plan.

If possible, Xiao Xuan hoped to take this opportunity.

To first obtain the soul skills for the first soul rings of his other two martial souls.

During the previous lull, he had already carefully checked the panel.

In the system mission list, no new advancement requirements had appeared after the Sky Dragon gained its soul ring.

In other words, he would likely need the Winged Dragon and Giant Soldier.

To obtain soul rings as well before the second-ring mission could be unlocked.
