Feeling his own soul power, Huo Li couldn't help but brighten up, muttering, "This top-grade medicinal herb is truly excellent!"
Although it hadn't allowed him to break through to level eighty-six, the soul power provided by this Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma was at least equivalent to two months of his cultivation.
Seeing him open his eyes, Huo Wushuang asked impatiently, "How is it, Dad? What are the effects of this herb?"
"Heh, although it doesn't have much effect on me, for you two, this Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma is still very useful. At the very least, it will allow both of you to reach level forty!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the siblings were overjoyed. Huo Wu's soul power had reached level thirty-nine, and Huo Wushuang's had reached level thirty-eight.
Now, they only needed to consume the Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma before them to quickly break through to level forty and become a Soul Ancestor!
Thinking of this, the siblings could no longer suppress their excitement, hurriedly grabbing a Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma to consume before immediately meditating to refine the medicinal power.
After all, the Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma was a top-grade herb, and given the siblings' cultivation, they refined it quickly.
Just as Huo Li had said, after consuming the Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma, both of their soul powers broke through to level forty; they were now just one soul ring away from becoming Soul Ancestors.
"Haha, I've broken through to level forty! I've broken through to level forty! Dad, did you see? My soul power has reached level forty!"
"I know, I know. It's just reaching level forty, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Huo Li raised his large hand and patted Huo Wushuang's head heavily, then turned to look at Huo Wu with a smile.
"Xiao Wu, how about you?"
"Hehe, I've naturally reached level forty as well. This Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma is truly magical."
Speaking of this, Huo Wu seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Brother Ling Yun, do you think I can eat another Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wushuang also looked at Ling Yun with expectant eyes. A single Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma had increased his soul power by two levels; if he could eat a few more, his soul power would definitely surpass Feng Xiaotian.
After pondering for a moment, Ling Yun said, "The Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma is only a top-grade herb, so naturally, you can eat more, but each soul master can only consume a maximum of three. Eating a fourth one would be useless. Moreover, after consuming a Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma, it is best to wait a month before taking a second one."
"Hehe, that's great!"
Huo Wu said with a giggle. Although she had to wait a month to take the second one, she was still very happy. In a month, her soul power would increase again!
Thinking of this, Huo Wu smiled and said, "Dad, since we've already broken through to level forty, let's hurry to the Sunset Forest and obtain our fourth soul rings!"
"Haha, you're right, let's set off now!"
Huo Li laughed out loud. As a daughter-doting father, he would naturally satisfy all of his daughter's requests. He then looked at Ling Yun and smiled.
"Kid Ling Yun, do you want to come along?"
"I won't go for now. I need to consolidate my cultivation, and I need to master my fourth soul skill as soon as possible."
"Alright then, you should get some good rest at the academy."
Huo Li nodded. Increasing his soul power by twelve levels in a single day certainly required proper consolidation.
With that, Huo Li took his children toward the Sunset Forest. As for Ling Yun, he arrived at Fire Cloud Mountain, summoned the Five Spirit Lock, and the fourth soul ring beneath his feet flickered with a faint light!
"Five Spirits Power, transform!"
In an instant, a pure metallic soul power enveloped Ling Yun's body. His frame gradually expanded, transforming into a large, orange tiger that looked somewhat adorable.
The most eye-catching features were his arms; they were extremely thick, almost as large as his torso, and composed entirely of hard alloy, appearing incredibly heavy.
Furthermore, Ling Yun now possessed a pair of sharp iron claws, capable of slicing through metal like mud and cutting jade with ease.
His current form was the metal-attribute beast-type warrior: Iron Fist Tiger!
"So this is the Iron Fist Tiger. Its strength rivals the Stone Armor Bear, and its agility is no less than the Divine Wood Ape. It truly lives up to being my favorite beast-type warrior."
Ling Yun smiled slightly. However, rather than saying he liked the Iron Fist Tiger, it was more accurate to say he liked GG Bond, and it just so happened that the beast-type warrior that the dead pig transformed into was the Iron Fist Tiger.
"Next, let's test the strength of the Iron Fist Tiger."
Ling Yun looked around and quickly found a giant boulder five meters high, then raised his alloy claws and thrust them out suddenly.
With immense strength, rapid speed, and sharp tiger claws, the combination of the three unleashed a powerful attack.
Boom--
As Ling Yun's claws slammed into the boulder, the seemingly heavy rock shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of flying debris.
Seeing this, Ling Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Hehe, the attack power of the Iron Fist Tiger is really good. Even with just an ordinary punch, it has such destructive power, and I didn't even use my full strength..."
"Next, let me try the ultimate move of the Iron Fist Tiger."
Saying this, Ling Yun found an even larger rock. This monolith was ten meters tall and over five meters thick.
Originally, Ling Yun had intended to use his ultimate move directly on Fire Cloud Mountain, but if he used too much force and caused a volcanic eruption, that would be a disaster.
Although Fire Cloud Mountain was only a dormant volcano, there was still magma within the mountain. If he accidentally turned it into an active volcano, the Blazing Academy at the foot of the mountain would be the first to suffer, and Huo Li would never forgive him.
Although Ling Yun didn't think he had that much destructive power, one could never be too careful.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun condensed the metal spirit power and then slammed his iron fists forward!
"Ultimate move: Extreme Tiger Fist!"
The original ultimate move of the Iron Fist Tiger was called the Iron Tiger Heavy Break Fist, but after consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Ling Yun not only mastered the ultimate metal soul power, but his ultimate move also evolved into the Extreme Tiger Fist.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun's iron fists glowed with golden light, striking the rock like cannonballs fired from a chamber.
BOOM—
Another thunderous explosion rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the solid boulder was smashed to pieces by Ling Yun, eventually reduced to nothing but fine powder!
Seeing this, Ling Yun said with an excited expression, "The attack power of this move is truly impressive. Not only does it possess immense impact, but it also carries a certain degree of armor-piercing capability, allowing it to bypass an enemy's defenses and strike their body directly!"
"With this move, combined with Ring Fusion, my strength will surely see a massive increase!"
Speaking of Ring Fusion, Ling Yun immediately attempted to merge his first three spirit rings with his fourth.
However, his fourth spirit ring was, after all, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, with an age higher than the sum of the first three combined. To ensure a perfect fusion of the four rings, Ling Yun had no choice but to put in a little extra effort.
