Chen Xing, hovering in mid-air, was in a great mood. He looked up at the sky, feeling as though the sunlight had become a little brighter.
Now that his Soul Power Level had reached level ten, as a transformed soul beast, he didn't need to hunt other soul beasts to obtain a soul ring; he could condense one himself.
Chen Xing carefully sensed his own physical condition.
After the transformation of his body by the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, it seemed he could currently absorb a soul ring of around 900 years.
Coupled with the spirit bone skill "Wildfires cannot destroy, spring winds bring life again."
There was even a hope of pushing for a thousand-year first soul ring!
One had to know that as long as a soul ring's age crossed a threshold, it would produce a qualitative change.
There might be no difference in the effects provided by a 998-year soul ring and a 999-year soul ring.
But if it were 999 years versus 1000 years, the difference would inevitably be worlds apart...
Thinking of this, Chen Xing had already made up his mind: no matter what, he would condense a thousand-year first soul ring!
However, relying solely on the recovery skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone was still a bit risky.
It would be better to go buy some Whale Rubber first; it could improve his physical fitness, increase the limit of the soul ring age he could absorb, and incidentally boost his soul power.
What if he reached level 20 right after condensing his soul ring?
A few days later, Suotuo City.
Chen Xing didn't dare return to Nuoding City; he was afraid that Tang Hao would discover his identity as a soul beast.
With the Gold Soul Coins provided by the system, he rented a carriage and arrived in Suotuo City.
Inside the inn.
Chen Xing poured a large bucket full of ice water. Beside it sat a stove, on which several pale yellow objects were being roasted, emitting a faint, fishy odor.
He had used almost all his savings to buy five pieces of century-old Whale Rubber and seven pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber.
Presumably, after refining them, the matter of condensing a thousand-year soul ring would be secure.
Accompanied by the high-temperature roasting, one piece of century-old Whale Rubber softened first.
Seeing this, Chen Xing did not hesitate and jumped directly into the water bucket filled with ice.
In an instant, a bone-chilling cold struck him, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
Immediately after, he wrapped his hands in soul power and picked up the Whale Rubber to tear off a small piece.
The scorching temperature, carrying a fishy smell, slid down his throat into his stomach.
In just a moment, the dry, hot medicinal power exploded.
His body, which had been shivering from the cold, was suddenly flooded with warmth. The energy of the Whale Rubber was like a red sun, spreading from his lower abdomen and flowing through his meridians to his entire body.
It was warm and extremely comfortable.
At the same time, its side effects began to manifest.
Chen Xing, who only had the body of a six-year-old, felt incredibly hot, and a surge of lustful fire rose from his lower abdomen...
Fortunately, the ice around him provided cooling, which could temporarily alleviate the symptoms.
Not far away.
Ah Yin, inside the vase, felt Chen Xing's aura continuously climbing and couldn't help but marvel to herself.
She didn't know where this person had obtained such a secret technique, but it looked quite extraordinary; it seemed capable of directly increasing his soul power level and physical fitness.
Chen Xing, in the water bucket, frowned deeply. He had to endure the influence of the lustful fire on his state of mind while simultaneously using his soul power to regulate the medicinal energy.
Time passed quietly. From day to night, two full days went by.
The ice in the bucket had long since melted. For the subsequent absorption process, it was the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone that exerted its power, allowing him to persist.
Because Chen Xing had only just transformed, there were no impurities in his body, so the entire process was not painful.
Slowly opening his eyes, an unprecedented sense of fulfillment surged into his heart.
At this moment, Chen Xing felt he had endless strength. Walking out of the water bucket, he could clearly see the incredibly defined muscle lines on his body.
Although he still looked like a child overall, his every movement was surprisingly steady.
Out of curiosity, he tried to throw a punch at the wooden bucket.
Bang!
It felt like touching dry leaves; the moment his fist made contact with the bucket, it shattered, giving Chen Xing a start.
"Uh..."
Looking at the mess on the ground, he was a bit speechless.
The power of this punch seemed a bit too great.
He hadn't seen the strength of the soul masters in this world yet, but he figured he shouldn't be too weak.
At the very least, he would be stronger than that Yu Xiaogang from the other day!
After a quick wash, Chen Xing changed into a set of clean clothes.
Having absorbed all the Whale Rubber he purchased, the feeling of his Bloodline Power surging within him left him somewhat excited.
He could finally condense his soul ring.
Taking advantage of his body being at its peak state, Chen Xing cast aside all distracting thoughts, intending to condense the soul ring in one go.
He sat cross-legged, pressing his palms together.
Following the pull of his instincts, he guided all his soul power flow paths into a closed loop.
Because he had transformed from a ten-year soul beast, he lacked the excess energy within his body to facilitate the condensation of a soul ring.
Therefore, Chen Xing had no choice but to pour his own soul power into the ring during the process.
At this moment, his Solitary Bamboo Martial Soul manifested automatically, glowing with a faint green light.
As time slowly passed, the surrounding green soul power gradually solidified, turning into points of light that formed a circular ring.
The ring was white at first, but as the points of light poured in, it gradually turned yellow.
It continued to deepen in color until it transformed completely into purple.
Ah Yin was awakened by this power, and upon sensing Chen Xing's state, she was deeply shocked.
How is this possible?
Why is he able to condense a thousand-year soul ring at level 10! Can his body really withstand it?
As the Blue Silver Emperor, her own physical constitution had been far stronger than an ordinary person's when she transformed.
Even so, with the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, she had only managed to condense a 500-year first ring.
The person before her had clearly only transformed from a Solitary Bamboo, so why did he possess such immense Bloodline Power?
Seemingly unsatisfied with the soul ring's age being just over a thousand years, Chen Xing continued to pour soul power into it.
1,100 years, 1,200 years...
Beads of sweat the size of beans seeped from his forehead, and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone began to exert its power, continuously restoring his physical stamina.
"Stop at this! If you continue, your body won't be able to hold up!"
Ah Yin communicated with Chen Xing through her consciousness; she was still counting on this person to take her back to her clan's territory, and she couldn't afford for him to perish here!
Seeing that he ignored her warnings, and even as his expression twisted in pain, he continued to compress the energy within the soul ring, Ah Yin felt extremely anxious, yet she was unable to help.
I do not know how much time passed.
The soreness and swelling in his meridians became far too severe, and Chen Xing finally could not withstand the pressure, ceasing the infusion of energy.
With a thought, a glowing purple soul ring descended and merged into his body.
Chen Xing felt a surge of majestic soul power instantly sweep through his entire body, his meridians feeling as if they were being scoured by a great force, causing intense pain.
The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone shone brilliantly at this moment, constantly repairing the cracks in his meridians.
He gritted his teeth, and a trace of blood began to seep from the corner of his mouth.
Pain!
It was too painful!
It was not a physical pain, but the kind of agony felt between the meridians and the gaps in his bones.
Chen Xing's body began to tremble violently, and the repair speed of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone on his meridians had reached its limit.
Finally!
At a certain moment!
All energy returned to calm, and the entire world seemed to lose its sound.
2,000-year first ring!
Success!
The soul ring that had merged into his body reappeared, hovering beneath the youth's feet, rhythmically pulsing.
The purple light made the youth look incredibly bewitching.
Following this came the steady climb of his Soul Power Level.
Level 11, Level 12, Level 13...
Until Level 20!
[Detected that the host's Soul Power Level has reached Level 20]
