5,500-Year Second Spirit Ring, Spirit Replication Fusion!

[Due to my breakthrough to level 20, I required a second soul ring, so Teacher Jing Hongchen personally led a team to hunt for it, and this time we arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.]

Star Dou Great Forest.

With Jing Hongchen personally leading the team, accompanied by three Soul Saint-level guards, the lineup was quite luxurious.

After all, this was merely to hunt for the second soul ring for Sun Moon Lin Qing.

[Teacher Jing Hongchen said our goal was to find the most suitable mental-type soul beast for me. After searching for seven days, we finally encountered a top-tier mental-type soul beast, the Silver Hero Beast.]

In the dense forest.

A robust soul beast was drinking water by the stream.

Its eyes shimmered with a strange pinkish-purple light.

Silver Hero Beast!

Known as an ancient extinct soul beast, it is a top-tier soul beast among the mental-type.

In the original work, the fifth soul ring for Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye martial soul was a 35,000-year cultivation Silver Hero Beast hunted in the Star Dou Great Forest.

[This Silver Hero Beast was undoubtedly very suitable for my soul ring, but the problem was that its age was a bit too high, and Teacher Jing Hongchen did not recommend that I absorb it.]

"This Silver Hero Beast is at least 5,500 years old; it's too high."

Jing Hongchen looked at Sun Moon Lin Qing.

"Even if you have consumed the thousand-year Whale Rubber and your physical fitness has improved, 5,500 years is still too risky."

But Sun Moon Lin Qing stared at the Silver Hero Beast with flickering eyes.

[Teacher is right, 5,500 years is too high, but...]

"Teacher, I want to try."

Jing Hongchen was stunned.

"What did you say?"

"I want to try."

Sun Moon Lin Qing repeated, his voice not loud, yet exceptionally firm.

"I have calculated my body's endurance limit and evaluated the energy characteristics of the Silver Hero Beast's soul ring."

"In terms of mental power, I have confidence. As for the physical aspect..."

He paused.

"With Teacher here, along with the level 7 Milk Bottle and various protective measures, I believe it is worth the risk."

Jing Hongchen stared at Sun Moon Lin Qing for a long time.

Finally, he took a deep breath.

"Fine, I allow you to try."

"But remember, once there are signs of danger, I will interrupt immediately. Even if it means ruining your cultivation, it is better than letting you lose your life."

His voice became incomparably serious.

Sun Moon Lin Qing nodded: "I understand."

[Teacher took action personally and easily subdued the Silver Hero Beast.]

The strength of a Titled Douluo was fully revealed.

With just one palm, the Silver Hero Beast lost its ability to resist.

Sun Moon Lin Qing stepped forward and plunged his dagger into its vital point.

A deep purple soul ring slowly rose.

The signature color of a soul ring over 5,000 years!

It was richer and deeper than the purple of the first soul ring!

[After adjusting my state, I began to absorb this soul ring.]

I sat cross-legged.

The soul ring descended.

In an instant.

"BOOM!!!"

Violent energy surged into my body like a flash flood!

"Pfft!"

Sun Moon Lin Qing couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood right from the start!

The level 7 Milk Bottle in Jing Hongchen's hand was already glowing, ready to inject soul power at any moment.

But Sun Moon Lin Qing gritted his teeth, raised his hand with difficulty, and made a "wait" gesture.

He was holding on by force.

I really underestimated the terror of a 5,500-year soul ring; I almost lost my life.

In the recording, Sun Moon Lin Qing's body began to seep blood. With blood flowing from all seven orifices, he had turned into a bloody mess.

His consciousness began to blur, and the image followed suit.

"It's not enough..."

Jing Hongchen's eyes sharpened, and he prepared to intervene.

But just then, the Heavenly Eye at the center of Sun Moon Lin Qing's brow suddenly opened on its own!

A brilliant silver light erupted!

A strange ripple spread outward.

I don't remember anything. I only know that the last thing I saw was a field of silver light, and then I lost consciousness.

The screen went black.

When it lit up again, it was several days later in the academy's infirmary.

Sun Moon Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.

Jing Hongchen sat by the bedside, his expression exceptionally complex.

"Teacher..."

Sun Moon Lin Qing spoke with difficulty, his voice raspy.

"Did I... succeed?"

Jing Hongchen remained silent for a long time.

Then, he nodded slowly.

"You succeeded. You absorbed the 5,500-year Silver Hero Beast soul ring."

Sun Moon Lin Qing was stunned.

Immediately, wild joy surged in his heart.

He tried to mobilize his soul power; his Soul Power Level was twenty-four!

Two soul rings rose beneath his feet: one purple, and one deep purple!

I successfully absorbed this soul ring. To be honest, even I was surprised.

"This..."

Lin Qing no longer knew how to evaluate such a maneuver by Sun Moon Lin Qing.

Not only was he audacious enough to absorb a 5,500-year second soul ring, but he had actually succeeded!

This guy definitely has a cheat!

Perhaps Sun Moon Lin Qing's golden finger was just heaven-defying luck.

After calming my excitement, I began to carefully experience the second soul skill granted to me by this 5,500-year Silver Hero Beast soul ring. Somewhat unexpectedly, my second soul skill is named "Spirit Replication Fusion"!

The narrator's voice suddenly carried a hint of excitement.

It sounds somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao's fifth soul skill, "Spirit Replication," but the difference is significant. My soul skill is not a simple, one-time Imprint like Huo Yuhao's fifth soul skill; it involves Imprinting a soul skill and then performing a fusion and solidification!

Lin Qing knew that Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye martial soul derived its fifth soul skill, Spirit Replication, from the Silver Hero Beast.

Not only did he know it, but he had also carefully studied this ability.

In the original work, this soul skill was quite good.

It allowed one to completely replicate an opponent's soul skill the moment they cast it and store it within the body.

It could be released whenever needed.

Moreover, because the replication was completed purely through spiritual power, it was not restricted by any attributes.

Whether the opponent was fire-type, ice-type, or lightning-type... as long as the replication was successful, Huo Yuhao could cast it.

Of course, the limitations were also obvious.

First, the replication could only store one soul skill at a time; it had to be released before the next one could be replicated.

Second, there was a limit to the number of replications per day.

The original work didn't specify how many times, but it was at least three.

Very strong, but... the limitations are also great.

Lin Qing evaluated it this way in his heart.

It was a one-time use; once used, it had to be replicated again.

But Sun Moon Lin Qing's version was different.

Lin Qing stared at the legacy recording, his eyes shining.

My soul skill possesses two effects: the first is "Imprint," and the second is "Spirit Replication Fusion."

Imprint: Same effect as Huo Yuhao's soul skill, but the number of uses is reduced to once per day.

Copy Fusion: Capable of copying three soul skills released by others and fusing them to create a brand-new soul skill perfectly suited to me. This new soul skill will be permanently solidified, becoming the second soul skill of my second soul ring!

"Copying three soul skills to fuse into a new one, and it's permanently solidified?!"

This effect is simply too heaven-defying!

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye mental replication is only a temporary borrowing; once used, it's gone.

Yet Sun Moon Lin Qing, while retaining the primary effect, can directly create a permanent soul skill of my own!

"The difference is just too massive..."

Could it be a mutation caused by the limit-breaking soul ring and the fact that Heavenly Eye and Spirit Eye are different martial souls?

After all, a second soul ring at five thousand five hundred years has already shattered common logic.

With different martial souls, it makes sense for the soul skills to undergo mutations.

But regardless, this is absolutely a divine skill!

Being able to permanently solidify others' soul skills and even fuse them for optimization—if used well, I could obtain an extremely powerful ability!
