Not only that, with a slight thought, he tried to guide the power of this network.
He extended a finger and gathered Soul Power. No Blue Silver Grass appeared at his fingertip; instead, a faint pale-green radiance filled with vitality quietly spread forth.
He lightly tapped a somewhat wilted, yellowing potted plant on the windowsill.
A miracle happened!
Beneath the pale-green radiance, the potted plant's yellowed leaves visibly turned lush and full again, bursting with vitality!
"This... this External Soul Bone can not only accelerate Soul Power circulation, increase the amount of energy absorbed from the outside world and stored, and purify Soul Power, but also convert part of my Soul Power into pure Life Energy for continuous, moment-by-moment healing and nourishment of my entire body?!"
Wild joy surged through Tang San's heart.
This ability was practically tailor-made for him!
With this Meridian Type Life-Attribute External Spirit Bone, his sustained combat ability, recovery ability, and enhancement of the life attribute of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would all reach a terrifying level!
Without a doubt, it had caused another qualitative leap in his already formidable foundation!
He forcefully suppressed his excitement and carefully sensed this unexpected treasure.
It was like a part of his body's meridians, as easy to control as his own limbs, yet it possessed independent and powerful characteristics.
"Was it because the pure Life Energy of the Life Vine, the profound foundation I gained from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the final catalysis of the Earth Core Marrow Spirit Fruit had together nurtured this miracle..." Tang San pondered.
This fortunate convergence had been indispensable in every respect.
He slowly finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, an indescribable brilliance flickering within them.
The second Soul Ring, the evolution of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, the Earth Core Marrow Spirit Fruit, and this unexpected Meridian Type External Spirit Bone...
The gains from this time had piled upon one another, pushing his potential to a height even he found difficult to measure.
"It seems the path of quietly developing will require even greater caution."
The corner of Tang San's mouth curved upward.
The deeper one's foundation, the less one could afford to reveal it easily.
His gaze swept over the plant that had regained its vitality, and more plans had already formed in his heart.
The road ahead was becoming increasingly worth looking forward to.
Tang San calmed his mind once again and carefully sensed his current physical strength and spiritual power.
After absorbing the Ten Thousand Year second Soul Ring, nourished by Extreme Life Energy and the Meridian Soul Bone, his physical strength had reached the level of a Low-level Soul King.
His spiritual power had not improved much. After all, Soul Rings were not specifically focused on enhancing spiritual power, so his current spiritual power was only at the Mid-level Soul King level.
His previously lagging physical strength had easily caught up through a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and the Meridian Soul Bone, reaching the same realm as his spiritual power, though they were merely at different minor stages.
More precisely, his physical strength was at the Level Fifty-One Soul King level, while his spiritual power was at the Level Fifty-Five Soul King level.
The Six Levels of Soul Power he had gained from absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had also been thoroughly consolidated during this period.
With my current foundation, it is time to ask Father when I can awaken my Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
Once the awakening is complete, I will no longer have any worries regarding my bloodline.
Tang San took a deep breath and silently thought to himself.
He had already prepared himself for the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor and the complete transformation it would bring.
Perhaps it would even allow him to slightly touch upon deeper powers related to life.
At that thought, he ended his meditative cultivation, used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and left the academy's Back Mountain alone without disturbing anyone.
Outside the academy stood the same inn as before.
Following the information his father had given him earlier, Tang San went to the Second Floor and entered a room.
Inside the inn room, Tang Hao was not leaning against the window or sitting quietly drinking as usual. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the center of the room with his eyes closed, solidified Soul Power Fluctuations faintly rising and falling around him like tides.
After breaking through Level Ninety-Five, he was clearly still growing familiar with and consolidating this suddenly increased power.
With the help of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, his strength had also improved tremendously.
The moment Tang San pushed open the door and entered, Tang Hao opened his eyes. His eagle-sharp gaze softened instantly when it fell upon his son, but a trace of unconcealed astonishment soon flashed through his eyes.
Tang San did not deliberately conceal his aura. His body, having undergone multiple temperings from the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Earth Core Marrow Spirit Fruit, and that strange Meridian Soul Bone, naturally radiated a special presence as deep and steady as a mountain, brimming with life.
Although his Soul Power Level was only Level Twenty-Six, the feeling he gave Tang Hao was far heavier and more dangerous than that of an ordinary Soul Elder or even Soul Ancestor.
"Dad," Tang San said.
"Mm. It seems you gained a great deal from consolidating your cultivation during this time."
"A Thousand Year First Soul Ring and a Ten Thousand Year second Soul Ring. Though both are plant life-attribute rings without any offensive ability, you are surely unprecedented across the continent. You have not disgraced me."
Tang Hao nodded in satisfaction, smiling as he spoke his true thoughts and praised Tang San.
"Mm, this path is the right one. I will keep walking it." Tang San said, "My Soul Power is now Level Twenty-Six. At my cultivation speed, it will not take long before I break through Level Thirty."
Tang Hao continued, "Then, Little San, what thoughts do you have regarding your third Soul Ring?"
He was also greatly anticipating it.
Tang San said, "I already possess perception, connection, powerful methods to draw energy from opponents, and support for rapidly restoring my allies. Therefore, I plan for my Third Soul Skill to lean toward an ultimate Life Guardian... Of course, it could also be an attack formed from ultimate life..."
He thought of the Eighty-Six Thousand Year Blue Silver Overlord Spear condensed by the Old Blue Silver King in the Original Work.
If possible, he would absorb it when he reached Level Thirty. Then he would tell Old King and see whether he could grant him a Soul Skill that he could shape at will according to his desires.
If he wanted to attack, he would use vigorous Life Force to condense a Blue Silver Overlord Spear. If he wanted to defend, he would use vigorous Life Force to condense a Blue Silver Overlord Shield.
That way, he could combine offense and defense and gain the best of both worlds.
That was an Eighty-Six Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Obtaining this Soul Ring in advance would bring him more benefits than drawbacks.
Moreover, this Soul Ring came from his own Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. In the future, it could evolve along with his Soul Power Level into a Hundred Thousand Year, Million Year, or even Divine Ring!
Tang San secretly thought, Since it comes from myself, then as long as my desire and resolve for both offense and defense are strong enough, perhaps I can obtain the Soul Skill I want. Perhaps this Soul Skill was not granted by Old King at all. Back then, Tang San did not know the exact circumstances. In his heart, Blue Silver Grass was weak, which was why this Soul Ring condensed into the Blue Silver Overlord Spear with its immensely powerful life-piercing attack. But I am different. I must obtain a versatile Soul Skill that combines offense and defense!
"Ultimate life defense, ultimate life attack..."
Hearing this, Tang Hao also fell silent.
He approved.
But when it came to Soul Beasts of this type, especially life plants, he truly knew nothing about them.
If it were about adding Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, he could certainly speak at length.
After all, everyone had their specialty.
When it came to Blue Silver Grass pursuing Extreme Life, he was truly not a professional.
