Outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lin Qingmo's extraordinarily unconventional Thousand-Year Purple First Spirit Ring was especially eye-catching.
A colorful glint flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.
She asked, "A-Qing, what is your First Spirit Skill?"
"I'll demonstrate it for you right now."
Lin Qingmo replied excitedly.
Soul Power surged into motion instantly.
The First Spirit Ring shone brilliantly.
"Master, my First Spirit Skill is called the [Azure Soul-Bathed Barrier]!"
[First Spirit Skill—Azure Soul-Bathed Barrier!]
"The passive effect increases Blue Silver Grass's toughness by 100% and its growth speed by 100%."
"Once the Spirit Skill is activated..."
As his words fell.
Centered on Lin Qingmo.
A circle of pale azure Light Screen instantly spread outward, its ripples extending fifty meters away.
Within this range, a massive Blue Silver Grass pattern seemed to have been imprinted upon the ground.
"This is... a large-scale Spirit Skill? Or a domain?"
A trace of surprise flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.
"This is a barrier, called the Azure Soul-Bathed Barrier."
"Though its manifestation is openly similar to a domain."
"At present, the barrier has a diameter of one hundred meters centered on me. This range will increase along with my Soul Power Level."
"Within the barrier, all my attributes are enhanced by 50%, my life recovery increases by 50%, and my Soul Power recovery increases by 50%!"
"Within the barrier, Blue Silver Grass gains an additional 50% toughness. At the same time, the Blue Silver Grass within the barrier gains the characteristics of Blue Silver Rebound Strike!"
Lin Qingmo introduced it proudly.
With a wave of his hand.
Dozens of Blue Silver Grass blades in Blue Silver Color surged up from the ground within the barrier.
The Blue Silver Grass grew incredibly fast, nearly as quickly as an instant-cast Spirit Skill.
Bibi Dong reached out and grabbed a blade of Blue Silver Grass.
She tugged at it.
Yet she discovered that this seemingly slender Blue Silver Grass was unusually tough.
"What incredible toughness!"
"Ordinary Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors probably wouldn't be able to tear it apart."
Bibi Dong could not help but marvel.
And this was only its effect while Lin Qingmo was still a Soul Master.
"Besides the Martial Soul's own improvements and enhancement effects, what does this Blue Silver Rebound Strike do?"
"Whenever any Blue Silver Grass inside the barrier attacks or is attacked, the impact it suffers will be absorbed and stored in the barrier. That impact can then be released all at once in the form of Blue Silver Rebound Strike to cause damage."
Lin Qingmo explained as he spoke.
At the same time, he controlled the Blue Silver Grass to wrap around Bibi Dong.
"Master, you can attack this Blue Silver Grass and help me build up some impact force!"
"Alright."
Bibi Dong's figure flickered as she darted through the barrier.
Her hands swept out repeatedly.
Wave after wave of Soul Power palm blasts struck the Blue Silver Grass, while she directly tore other blades apart with her hands.
For a moment, the barrier was filled with crackling sounds of snapping.
Countless Blue Silver Grass blades were broken and crushed beneath her feet.
Yet they quickly regrew under the boosted 100% growth speed.
They crowded together densely, as if they could never be exhausted.
Lin Qingmo controlled the Blue Silver Grass to continuously attack Bibi Dong.
At the same time, he endured her counterattacks, his face full of excitement.
Every time the Blue Silver Grass attacked or was attacked, a stream of impact flowed into the Barrier Core.
But the Blue Silver Grass was not truly capable of growing without limit.
How much it could grow was determined by his Soul Power.
With Bibi Dong's destruction coming so quickly his eyes could barely follow it, Lin Qingmo's face had turned pale in only a few minutes.
"Master, that's about enough. I'm almost out of Soul Power!"
Hearing that, Bibi Dong stopped moving.
She pointed at a giant rock nearby and said to Lin Qingmo, "Release Blue Silver Rebound Strike."
"Alright!"
Lin Qingmo took a deep breath.
His Soul Power circulated at full force as he activated Blue Silver Rebound Strike.
Under his control.
All the Blue Silver Grass within the barrier instantly stopped growing.
Countless faint streams of energy surged out from the Blue Silver Grass and gathered around a thick Blue Silver Grass Vine Whip.
The Vine Whip rapidly expanded, becoming as huge and thick as a tree trunk.
Its blue-silver light was dazzling.
"Ha!"
Lin Qingmo gave a low shout.
He controlled the Vine Whip, brimming with immense energy, and lashed it fiercely toward a giant rock not far away!
The Vine Whip smashed against the giant rock.
Boom—!
A deafening roar erupted!
An enormous impact exploded in an instant!
The entire ground trembled.
Dust billowed everywhere.
Fragments of stone flew through the air.
A moment later.
The two of them clearly saw the scene before them.
That giant rock had been blasted to pieces.
A deep ravine had been carved into the ground!
Bibi Dong slowly walked to the edge of the ravine.
She examined the damaged area.
When she looked back at Lin Qingmo, her expression had grown somewhat solemn.
"Your Spirit Skill is very powerful."
"The power of that strike just now was enough to rival the full-force blow of a power-attack-type Soul Ancestor."
Bibi Dong said, "And this Blue Silver Rebound Strike may shine brilliantly in team battles."
"In a team battle, your Blue Silver Grass can cover the entire battlefield and endure attacks every moment."
"Once it has absorbed enough impact, suddenly releasing Rebound Strike would be enough to reverse the battle in an instant."
Lin Qingmo quickly understood what she meant.
He nodded in agreement. "It really is a team battle artifact."
A hint of approval showed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Your First Spirit Skill is extremely practical, whether for enhancement, recovery, Blue Silver Grass reinforcement, or Rebound Strike. Its potential is enormous as well."
"As your Soul Power Level rises and the barrier's range expands, your future will be limitless."
"I think so too."
Lin Qingmo chuckled.
He could not wait to share this good news with his family in the Chat Group.
Chat Group.
[Daddy Douluo]: I, Lin Qingmo, have made a dazzling entrance!
The moment he appeared.
The Chat Group instantly became lively.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, you finally showed yourself!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: When are you coming back to Notting Academy?
Xiao Wu's message popped up immediately.
Every day at Notting Academy, she had been thinking about Lin Qingmo.
The moment she saw him online, she perked right up.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Tsk, don't tell me you're here to complain again about how hard training is and how strict your master is? My ears are practically growing calluses!
Liu Erlong's message was still full of snark.
But she could not hide her happiness either.
[The Pope Herself]: I don't think A-Qing came to complain. He should have some good news to announce.
Bibi Dong's message predicted it exactly.
Because she was standing right beside Lin Qingmo at this moment, she naturally knew what he wanted to share.
[Green Green Grass]: Very good news!
Ah Yin's message was still brief.
But it was much smoother than her previous halting messages.
[Daddy Douluo]: Hehe, Imperial Sister and Grass Mom understand me best!
[Daddy Douluo]: That's right, I've successfully absorbed my First Spirit Ring. I'm officially a Soul Master now!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Wow! That's wonderful!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Congratulations, A-Qing!
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Oh? You finally absorbed a Spirit Ring.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Hurry and tell us. How old is the Spirit Ring? What level is your Soul Power now?
Liu Erlong perked up as well.
She had always been concerned about Lin Qingmo's choice of Spirit Ring.
After all, Lin Qingmo had previously said he intended to undergo Limit-Breaking Absorption.
[Daddy Douluo]: My Soul Power is now level 17. As for the Spirit Ring's age... hehe, I'm afraid it'll scare you. It's a 2,000-year Purple Soul Ring!
[Daddy Douluo]: And it's the Azure Vine I'd been dreaming of, with attributes perfectly compatible with my Blue Silver Grass.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: ???
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: A 2,000-year Purple Soul Ring... You're not bragging, are you?
Liu Erlong was completely dumbfounded.
A 2,000-year Spirit Ring as his First Spirit Ring... how was that possible?
Wasn't the limit for a First Spirit Ring 423 years?
She truly could not believe that someone could absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as their First Spirit Ring, much less one with such an enormous gap as two thousand years.
This was no longer merely a matter of exceeding common sense!
