"The improvement of Ultimate Martial Soul is too limited."
This wasn't the first time Ji Siyuan and Huo Yutong had lamented about this matter.
Even though the two were practicing Extreme Dual Cultivation, their cultivation speed still couldn't satisfy them.
"Another month has passed, and my Soul Power is progressing towards level 49, but there's still a bit of a gap." Ji Siyuan had already reached level 48 last month.
"Ah, why is it that even though we're practicing dual cultivation, your cultivation speed is always faster than mine?" Huo Yutong was still some distance from level 50.
She threw herself into Ji Siyuan's arms, and the two of them, just like before, cultivated and rested on the same bed.
Ji Siyuan gently hugged Huo Yutong: "The speed difference isn't that much, is it?"
With various medicinal herbs treating her body, coupled with this Second Awakening, Huo Yutong's talent gradually improved, catching up with Ji Siyuan. But unfortunately, Ji Siyuan's physical attributes and talent were not something that could be easily acquired in the Douluo Continent.
Even so, Huo Yutong was still a notch below Ji Siyuan in terms of talent.
Even though the two absorbed the same amount of Soul Power due to the Martial Soul Fusion, Ji Siyuan's utilization rate of the Soul Power was half a point higher than Huo Yutong's after circulating through their bodies once.
"But even after absorbing so many Soul Bone, my Soul Power is still about the same as yours. When you absorb more Soul Bone, your Soul Power Level will increase rapidly. Will I just be able to stand behind you as a mere accessory? It's not bad, but I still want to fight alongside you." Huo Yutong was very worried about the future. She wanted to weather the storms with Ji Siyuan and stand with him to face the enemy.
Even though Ji Siyuan's combat strength is now greater than hers, there are still many situations where they need to face them together.
If Ji Siyuan her, then she might not be able to help Ji Siyuan.
"It seems my Yu Tong doesn't trust me anymore." Ji Siyuan hugged her tighter. "But I have a better way. Just don't let my cultivation speed fall too far behind in the future."
"Of course not, Siyuan is such a genius."
Ji Siyuan thought for a moment and said, "Once you reach level 50, let's go find a great opportunity nearby. There are quite a few good things there." He was naturally referring to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the Immortal Herb were an opportunity that couldn't be wasted.
Huo Yutong's eyes darted around, and she suddenly asked a question, "Will you prepare some for Liya and Ice Empress?"
Ji Siyuan was stumped by this question on the spot.
This made him cough repeatedly. "Opportunities aren't something I can control; what happens depends on luck."
"Besides, they are your Soul Spirit. As you become stronger, they will become stronger as well."
"Are you testing me?" He gently tapped Huo Yutong's brow. "Putting everything else aside, there's definitely an opportunity there that's right for you."
Among the Immortal Herb, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew is the most suitable for Huo Yutong Immortal Herb. The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass with ice attributes is also included, and both are very suitable for her.
"Ke Siyuan, didn't you say you're a womanizer? It would be best if all the women around you were people I knew."
"I know Liya and Ice Empress the best, and they're both very beautiful. They're also my Soul Spirit, so I won't be jealous."
Ji Siyuan gently flicked Huo Yutong's forehead. "Wake up."
"You're making me sound like some kind of lustful monster." He hugged Huo Yutong tightly. "Let me tell you part of the reason."
"I like Dong'er now. Qiu'er, who is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, hasn't transformed into human form yet. Perhaps it's the power of fate, but we have mutual feelings for each other. As for the last one, I don't know what to call her. Besides, I'm not familiar with her at the moment."
"The three of them look alike not because they are triplets, but because their souls were split apart from one person. Or rather, Dong'er and the last one's souls are incomplete, while Qiu'er is dominated by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. At least here, I will make her the dominant one with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul."
Huo Yutong was completely bewildered. " Qiu'er, Dong'er, and another one I don't recognize—are they all the same person? The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is one of them too."
Huo Yutong finally sorted out her thoughts, thinking about a soul being split into three parts, and sighed helplessly, "How pitiful."
Ji Siyuan: "So, stop imagining me as some kind of lecherous monster. I only like three people right now."
???
Tang San, Ice Empress, and Tian Meng simultaneously cursed from within the two's Sea of Consciousness: "Shameless!"
Electrolux: "Like I said, I don't believe he'll let that last person go."
Compared to the others, Huo Yutong still trusted Ji Siyuan a lot. "I believe in you, you can definitely handle that one we've never met before."
"Huh? Let's focus on our cultivation and not talk about this."
The brief leisure time turned back into meditation and practice.
Time passed peacefully, like a gentle breeze through a bamboo forest.
Ji Siyuan leveled up to 49 and looked at Huo Yutong was meditating cross-legged.
Huo Yutong's level has increased to 50, and what she needs now is her fifth Soul Ring.
The Soul Spirit will cause her to generate Soul Ring on her own. Since Liya is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, her fifth Soul Ring is naturally Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
The Simulation was completely deactivated, and the white Soul Ring slowly shed its disguise, revealing its golden color.
One gold and three black rings represent all the colors of Huo Yutong's Soul Ring at this moment.
A powerful aura inexplicably emerged, and the blood-red Soul Ring gradually solidified.
Huo Yutong opened her eyes and saw Ji Siyuan handing her a glass of wine. "Congratulations on your advancement to Soul King. This is a congratulatory drink specially prepared for you."
She took the glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Mmm, delicious. When you break through to the next level, Siyuan, I'll cook for you and let you try my special grilled fish."
"Alright." Ji Siyuan's gaze was full of doting. "How about I introduce your Soul Skill?"
Huo Yutong closed her eyes, sensing the effects of her Soul Skill: "I have two Soul Skill!"
Compared to the Soul Spirit in the script, which were merely creations of Electrolux on a whim, this one was conceived by Electrolux over several years and is much more refined.
"My first Soul Skill is called Mermaid Duet, which is a support-type enhancement Soul Skill. It can double the power of my spiritual Soul Skill."
Ji Siyuan pondered for a moment, "It's similar to my 'Blazing Fire Rekindled' skill. Both are Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, and their effects are similar."
"There's another enhancement-type support Soul Skill, Lament Echo, which can turn a single target into a group control skill. It's roughly like ripples; if you hit a point, it will spread out as smaller ripples." Huo Yutong explained briefly, but didn't demonstrate, since it was just the two of them there.
This Soul Skill doesn't simply turn a single target into an area of effect; it's more like Blazing Fire Rekindled —or more accurately, a splash attack! It can splash not only on a single target but also on an area of effect, making it extremely powerful.
This time, without needing to be taught, Ji Siyuan immediately praised Huo Yutong: "This is a very powerful Soul Skill. Not only is it powerful now, but it will become even more powerful as you grow stronger in the future."
"Yes, yes!" Huo Yutong jumped up happily, and Liya also sang a cheerful song at the right time.
A loud shout outside the training room interrupted Huan Ge's words, " Ji Siyuan, Huo Yuhao, someone from Shrek wants you to go back."
