Five-Star Exclusive Weapon! Five-Star Exclusive Support! The Continent's Number One Support System Martial Soul!

"Cough, cough..."

Lin Qing gave two dry coughs, rubbed his nose, and tried his best to look natural.

He walked up to Er Ni, reached out to gently pat her shoulder, and spoke in a tone that was both gentle and earnest.

"Sister Er Ni, thank you for liking me so much."

He said these words with complete sincerity.

"Wu..."

Hearing Lin Qing's straightforward response, Er Ni's neck turned bright red.

A whimper like a small animal escaped her lips, and she buried her head even lower, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing that she was so shy she was practically steaming, Lin Qing quickly changed the subject and said with a serious expression:

"Let's continue talking about your soul skill. Besides the unique target lock, are there any other characteristics? For example, its relationship with soul rings?"

Mentioning serious business, Er Ni finally managed to struggle out of her shyness.

She tried hard to calm her racing heart, recalled the information, and then whispered.

"Hmm... the soul skill Lovesick Heartbreak doesn't seem to be affected by the type of soul ring."

"That is to say, no matter what kind of soul beast's ring I absorb, the soul skill effect is fixed as 'Lovesick Heartbreak'."

"The strength of the effect is only related to the age of the soul rings."

"The higher the total age of all my soul rings combined, the stronger the amplification effect."

She thought for a moment and added: "I don't have any soul rings yet, so the base amplification effect is 100% to all attributes."

"What?!"

Lin Qing's previously calm expression instantly shattered.

His eyes widened sharply, thinking he had misheard.

"Without any soul rings, a base 100% increase to all attributes, and this effect will continue to strengthen as the total age of your subsequent soul rings increases?"

This effect... can no longer be described as just "powerful"!

This is simply heaven-defying!

One must know that for most support-type soul masters, a first soul skill that can provide a twenty or thirty percent boost to teammates is already considered quite good.

Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, hailed as the strongest support-type martial soul, only provides single-attribute boosts for each soul skill.

Moreover, the amplification effect is not heaven-defying.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda provides a default 10% boost to all attributes (including strength, speed, soul power, defense, etc.).

For every soul ring obtained, the boost to all attributes increases by an additional 10%.

In other words, a one-ring Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda only has a 20% boost to single attributes, and a six-ring one only has 70%.

Yet Er Ni's innate soul skill, Lovesick Heartbreak, reaches a terrifying 100% base boost at the zero-ring stage, and it's for all attributes!

What kind of concept is this?

It is equivalent to directly doubling the combat power of the person being supported!

And this is just the beginning.

If the total age of the soul rings Er Ni absorbs in the future reaches ten thousand years, tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years...

Lin Qing dared not imagine how exaggerated the amplification effect would become!

Two hundred percent? Three hundred? Or something even more terrifying?

This is simply forcibly elevating an ordinary soul master to the level of a monster!

It is a pity that the target of Er Ni's soul skill can only be him.

Otherwise, the number one support-type martial soul on the continent would have to be Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"And, and there's more..."

Seeing that Lin Qing was very excited and happy, Er Ni hurriedly shared the remaining information, afraid of leaving anything out.

"My martial soul itself also comes with an innate trait called 'Bring the Dead Back to Life, Flesh the Bones'."

She looked at Lin Qing, speaking each word very seriously.

She tried to accurately convey the information that was clearly emerging in her mind.

"This trait has three effects."

"First, a full-state recovery that can only be activated once a day; it can instantly heal all injuries of myself and my beloved, and fully restore soul power and physical strength."

"Second, a... self-resurrection that can only be activated once in a lifetime."

When she said the word "resurrection," her own voice drifted slightly.

Clearly, she also understood how absurd this was.

"Third, a resurrection that can only be triggered once in a lifetime... for the one beloved."

She had barely managed to force those final words out, her face flushed a deep crimson.

Her gaze, however, remained locked firmly onto Lin Qing, the implication self-evident.

That "one beloved" referred to none other than him.

"Hiss!!!"

Lin Qing truly sucked in a sharp breath this time, feeling the back of his scalp go numb.

Full status recovery!

Self-resurrection!

Resurrecting him!

This... how could these be mere innate traits?

These were clearly three extra lives!

They were cheat-level, game-breaking survival skills!

Especially that "resurrect the one beloved."

Although it could only be used once in a lifetime and the target was restricted, the effect alone was enough to drive anyone who knew of it to madness!

What did this mean?

It meant that as long as Er Ni was alive, he, Lin Qing, effectively possessed an extra trump card for survival, one written directly into the rules!

Even if he were to unfortunately kick the bucket one day.

As long as Er Ni was still around, she could drag him back from the gates of hell!

Doesn't this just make Er Ni my exclusive support?

Lin Qing muttered to himself, a gaming term inexplicably popping into his mind.

A five-star signature weapon!

A five-star signature support!

A bound healer!

The kind that even comes with a resurrection armor!

This setup was just too top-tier!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Struck by the immense surprise, Lin Qing exclaimed "good" three times in his excitement, slamming his thigh so hard he nearly jumped out of his chair.

He looked at the shy Er Ni before him, his eyes shining with startling intensity.

"It's decided, Er Ni!"

"Once you've adjusted a little, I'll take you to hunt souls immediately!"

"I must find you the best soul ring to ensure this 'exclusive support' potential is unleashed as quickly as possible!"

That was what he said.

But Lin Qing was no hot-headed rookie.

While he shouted about taking Er Ni to hunt souls right away, he knew clearly in his heart that this matter could not be rushed.

Soul hunting wasn't like going to the market to pick and choose groceries.

It was a life-or-death gamble, especially when aiming for high-age soul rings.

Before setting off, he had to help Er Ni build the best possible foundation, improving her physical constitution and tolerance.

Only then could he ensure she could absorb a higher-age soul ring, pushing the base amplification of the Lovesick Heartbreak skill to an even greater height!

Lin Qing first took out two pieces of melted ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber from his Relic Space that were of little use to him anymore.

Er Ni already had experience consuming Whale Rubber, so he didn't need to explain much.

However, the effects of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber were still overbearing.

Just these two pieces kept them busy for the entire night.

When the horizon began to pale with the first light of dawn.

The surging medicinal power within Er Ni finally began to calm down.

The alluring pink hue that had covered her body slowly faded, and her breathing became steady and deep.

She seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis; her skin was more lustrous and radiant, and her aura had become significantly more solid.

She slowly opened her eyes.

A trace of confusion and exhaustion from the intense medicinal scouring still lingered in her pupils.

But soon, the fragments of memory from last night, both blurry and clear, flooded back into her mind.

Did I just make a strange sound?

And... was I squirming around?

My, my clothes seem a bit disheveled too!

With a "boom," Er Ni's face turned beet red all over again, and even her earlobes and neck, which had just returned to normal, were not spared.

She lowered her head in a flash.

She didn't dare look at Lin Qing before her, so embarrassed she wished she could vanish instantly.

Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief seeing her wake up.

Watching her act like an ostrich, he found it amusing, yet felt a strange sense of tenderness.

He stood up and walked over, deliberately teasing her in a lighthearted tone.

"Awake? How do you feel? The taste of the 10,000-Year Whale Rubber wasn't too bad, right?"

"Ugh... Ah Qing, please stop..."

Er Ni buried her face in her knees, her voice muffled and thick with intense shyness.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything else."

Seeing he had made his point, Lin Qing stopped teasing her.

His expression turned serious.

From his storage Soul Tool, he took out the final and most precious treasure—the 100,000-Year Lovesick Heartbreak Red Torso Bone!
