"It worked!"

Watching the yellow and purple pulsing soul rings at Liu Yuan's feet, Tang Ya couldn't help crying out in surprise.

"He really succeeded in absorbing it! A thousand-year second ring! This physical constitution is just too good!"

Bei Bei's eyes also lit up, and he nodded slightly, a hint of praise showing in his gaze. "Indeed rare."

"Generally speaking, a soul master's second soul ring is around seven hundred years old. Crossing the thousand-year threshold requires extremely strong physical fitness."

"Little brother Liu Yuan being able to do this is enough to prove his extraordinariness."

"I wonder what kind of soul skill he will obtain after absorbing this freakish soul spider?" Tang Ya cupped her chin, full of curiosity. "Although the soul spider's ability is rebirth, soul skills usually still change because of the soul master's martial soul..."

Huo Yuhao at the side didn't speak, only quietly watching the high-spirited youth before him.

At this moment, Liu Yuan's clothing was still somewhat tattered, but his entire aura had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation.

Those two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, set each other off, making his posture as upright as a pine.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously touched his own chest, a nameless surge of sourness and envy welling up in his heart.

Liu Yuan is of a similar age to me... yet he is already a soul grandmaster with a thousand-year soul ring. And I...

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, a storm of emotions churning in his heart.

"Sigh..."

In the spirit sea of consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also let out a long sigh, its plump body rolling around in the spirit sea with a face full of remorse.

Don't look, don't look, the more I look the sadder I get. This kid was simply born to inherit Brother Sky Dream's legacy! Powerful spiritual power, formidable physical body... If I could do it over again, Brother Sky Dream would definitely guard him to the death!

Just as the boy and the bug were lost in their respective thoughts, Liu Yuan ahead finally completely exited his cultivation state.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Buzz--!

In that instant, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and even Huo Yuhao, the moment they inadvertently made eye contact with Liu Yuan's newly opened double pupil, simultaneously felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over their minds!

That feeling was as if someone had heavily struck the back of their heads with a sledgehammer, instantly leaving them dazed and unsteady on their feet.

"Ngh..."

Tang Ya's delicate body swayed, nearly falling over, but fortunately Bei Bei was quick-witted and supported her.

Yet Bei Bei himself didn't have it easy. He forcefully shook his head, his scholarly face full of shock. "Such strong spiritual fluctuation! Just a single glance... can actually cause me to feel this dizzy?"

Huo Yuhao sat down flat on the ground with a thud, his face pale, his spirit eye full of terror. "Brother Sky Dream! Wh-what is going on? My head hurts so much..."

"Nonsense! That kid's spiritual power just skyrocketed from absorbing the soul ring and hasn't completely settled yet!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained with annoyance, its tone carrying thick jealousy.

"His spiritual power already crushed you guys in terms of quality, and now the quantity has caught up too... If he meant to, a spiritual attack sent your way without any defenses could turn you all into idiots!"

"Too freakish... really too freakish..." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered to itself. "Brother Sky Dream is so sad!"

At this moment, Liu Yuan also realized something was wrong.

He quickly reined in his focus, slowly drawing the overflowing spiritual power back into his body. The eerie glow in his double pupil gradually faded, returning to its usual appearance.

"Sorry, sorry, I just broke through and couldn't quite control it."

Liu Yuan stood up, walked quickly over to the group, and cupped his fists with an apologetic expression. "Thank you all for guarding me. This favor, Liu Yuan has noted down."

"Brother Liu Yuan is too polite. Since we agreed on it, this is only right."

Bei Bei recovered, waved his hand, and then looked intently at Liu Yuan, asking the question everyone cared about. "How is it? Venturing to absorb a thousand-year soul ring this time, the harvest must be quite substantial, right? What is your second soul skill?"

As soon as those words came out, Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao also immediately pricked up their ears, looking at Liu Yuan with full anticipation.

That was a thousand-year soul ring! And it came from such a bizarre and powerful soul spider!

Hearing this, Liu Yuan didn't answer immediately, instead closing his eyes to sense the changes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a mysterious smile curving the corner of his mouth. "The harvest is indeed huge. However... this skill is a bit special, and just describing it won't make it clear. You all might need to help me test it."

"Test? How do we test it?" Tang Ya blinked her large eyes.

"Well..." Liu Yuan touched his chin, looking at Bei Bei. "Big Brother Bei Bei, your attack power is the strongest. How about you use your thunder dragon claw to attack me at full force and let's see?"

"What?!"

Bei Bei was startled upon hearing this, waving his hands repeatedly. "Little brother Liu Yuan, are you joking?"

"You know the power of my thunder dragon claw; even a thousand-year soul beast would be torn to shreds taking a hit. Although you absorbed a soul ring and your body became stronger, you are still of mortal flesh and blood. What if I can't hold back and end up hurting you?"

"That's right, Liu Yuan, don't mess around!" Tang Ya also hurriedly advised. "We can test the soul skill slowly; there's no need to risk your life!"

Liu Yuan shook his head with some helplessness. "However... if I don't get hurt, there's no way to demonstrate this soul skill. Because it is a... recovery-type soul skill."

"Recovery-type?"

The group froze.

"That's right." Liu Yuan nodded. "Just like that soul spider. I want to test where its limit is."

"No way!" Bei Bei refused decisively. "What if it fails? What if it can't recover? This is too risky, I cannot attack a companion."

Seeing Bei Bei's resolute attitude, Liu Yuan felt somewhat helpless, only thinking that Bei Bei truly was a good person with his own principles and bottom line when doing things.

However...

If he didn't test it himself, how would he know the upper limit of this soul skill?

"Since Big Brother Bei Bei is unwilling..."

Liu Yuan sighed, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.

Swish!

He flipped his wrist, and a sharp refined-steel dagger instantly appeared in his hand.

This was the tier-1 soul tool dagger he had previously used to hunt soul beasts.

"Liu Yuan, what are you doing?!" Huo Yuhao cried out in alarm.

Before the others could react.

Liu Yuan's gaze hardened, and without a single moment of hesitation, the dagger in his hand turned into a cold flash and slashed fiercely toward his own left wrist!

Slash!

Blood splattered!

"Ah!!!" Tang Ya screamed in fright, covering her eyes.

Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao experienced even more violent contractions in their pupils, their hearts seeming to skip a beat.

Liu Yuan's left hand was actually severed clean at the root! Crimson blood gushed out like a fountain, and the severed hand fell onto the grass, still twitching from nerve reflexes!

Ruthless!

This was definitely a ruthless person!

To test a soul skill, he actually didn't hesitate to cut off his own hand?!

"Liu Yuan! Have you lost your mind?!" Bei Bei roared, rushing forward to help him stop the bleeding. "Quick! Yuhao! Bring the hemostatic medicine!"

"Don't panic."

Although Liu Yuan's face was somewhat pale, his expression was exceptionally calm, even carrying a trace of a faint smile.

He raised that spurting stump of a wrist and looked calmly at Bei Bei. "Watch."

The next second.

"Second Soul Skill -- Undying Body!"

Buzz--!

The deep purple thousand-year soul ring at Liu Yuan's feet suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling radiance.

At the same time, within his double pupil, grayish-white and emerald-green lights intertwined, and an intensely rich life aura instantly erupted!

Following that, a scene that everyone present would never forget in their lifetimes occurred.

Liu Yuan's wound, which had been bleeding profusely, suddenly sprouted countless dense granules of flesh.

These granules seemed to possess a life of their own, frantically writhing, intertwining, and growing!

Bones were reshaping, meridians were reconnecting, flesh and blood were filling in, and skin was covering over!

It took merely two or three breaths of time!

A brand new, intact left hand "grew" out from thin air just like that!

And after seeing this scene before them.

Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao were dumbfounded once again!

How could this be possible?
