Million-Year Spirit Ring, Three Powerful Spirit Skills

A moment later, Tang An opened his eyes, a flash of sharp light vanishing within them.

"My first soul ring has granted me two soul skills."

Tang An spoke, his voice carrying an undisguised sense of satisfaction.

"The first soul skill: Life Perception Resonance."

As the words fell, a faint green halo shimmered slightly over his left eye.

Immediately following, an invisible wave of life energy radiated silently from Tang An, spreading outward like ripples on a lake. Circle by circle, it gently yet irresistibly blanketed every inch of space within a ten-thousand-meter radius.

Xiao Wu felt a strange aura of life envelop her, and she was astonished to discover that her own range of perception had become linked with Tang An's.

Within that ten-thousand-meter radius, Xiao Wu could clearly perceive the location and life status of every living being.

Even more miraculous was the connection she felt with Tang An; she could sense his heartbeat, his breathing, and even the fluctuations of his emotions.

"This soul skill has three effects," Tang An explained.

"First, Life Detection: Within the range of my spiritual power, I can clearly discern the location, vital signs, emotional state, and even whether any living being is lying."

Niu Tian closed his eyes to sense it, then said in shock:

"This range of perception... it covers at least ten thousand meters! It's even more expansive than the spiritual perception we brothers had during our Title Douluo days!"

"Second, Life Sharing," Tang An continued.

"Beyond sharing perception, we also share our life status itself. We can exchange life force, though currently, I can only share 5% of my total life force."

Titan attempted to extend his own life force and, sure enough, felt the life auras of the others, as if countless invisible threads were connecting them all together.

He exclaimed, "This is even more convenient than the tacit understanding between us brothers! With this soul skill, it's like having several extra lives on the battlefield!"

"Third, Life Amplification."

Tang An raised his hand, and a green light fell upon Huo Yuhao, who lay on the ground.

The green light seeped into Huo Yuhao's body like flowing water, and the scrapes and bruises she had sustained during the struggle healed at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of the light.

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched slightly, her lashes fluttering as if she were about to wake at any moment.

"Resonance of Life Attribute can provide teammates with a boost to their life force, accelerate the recovery of injuries, and enhance all physical attributes."

Tang An withdrew his hand, watching the changes in Huo Yuhao with a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes. "Although she hasn't woken up yet, most of her injuries have healed. She should regain consciousness very soon."

"This soul skill is far too comprehensive!" Xiao Wu's eyes brightened. "Detection, sharing, amplification—a trinity!"

"Xiao An, if the first soul skill is this powerful, what about the second? Hurry and show me; your sister-in-law can't wait."

Watching Xiao Wu, who was even more excited than he was, Tang An curled the corner of his lips. He raised his right hand, palm facing her. "Then, sister-in-law, don't resist. Relax your mind and experience it for yourself."

Xiao Wu nodded obediently, hands behind her back, puffing out her chest. "Come on, come on, I'm ready! Try whatever you like; your sister-in-law won't resist at all."

Tang An focused his intent, and his second soul skill, Life Sensory Manipulation, was quietly activated.

An invisible wave of spiritual power silently enveloped Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu felt the scene around her shift slightly. Even though she was still standing in the same spot, the Tang An before her suddenly changed appearance.

The youth who had been dressed in white as snow suddenly transformed into a large, fluffy rabbit in her eyes, its two long ears swaying back and forth before her.

"Pfft," Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh. "Xiao An, how did you turn into my original form!"

As soon as she spoke, the scenery around her changed again.

The grass beneath her feet turned into a sea of flowers, with colorful blossoms swaying and blooming at her feet; she could even smell a faint floral fragrance in the air.

It was clearly an illusion, yet it felt so real she couldn't distinguish truth from fiction.

Immediately after, a cool breeze brushed against her cheeks, carrying the crisp scent of a forest stream, even though the leaves around them remained perfectly still.

Tang An lowered his palm, and the illusion instantly dissipated.

Xiao Wu blinked, her gaze filled with awe as she looked at Tang An:

"Xiao An, this soul skill of yours is terrifying! Sight, touch, smell, hearing—you can manipulate them all!"

"And unlike standard illusions, this acts directly on the source of the senses. You've touched upon the underlying rules of sensory perception."

"Beyond that, this soul skill can also manipulate the target's emotions," Tang An continued to explain.

"Fear, anger, sadness, joy—all can be amplified or suppressed. If used on an opponent whose spiritual power is far lower than mine, I could even cause their mind to collapse."

This part fell into the boundary between sensory manipulation and spiritual domination, so there was no harm in mentioning it.

As for deeper spiritual domination—directly invading a target's sea of consciousness, controlling their will, reading memories, or forcibly planting a spiritual brand—Tang An didn't mention a single word. Besides, his current spiritual power wasn't capable of such feats; he would only be able to achieve that after advancing to the Spirit Domain Realm and forming a spiritual Soul Core.

Niu Tian and Titan exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

"That..." Niu Tian swallowed hard and asked hesitantly, "Young Master Tang An, is the consumption for this soul skill high?"

"The consumption isn't high for normal use, but if I need to manipulate multiple targets simultaneously or if the target's spiritual power is very strong, the consumption will increase accordingly."

Tang An calculated silently in his heart. "With my current spiritual power, manipulating ten opponents of the same level simultaneously shouldn't be a problem."

Titan gasped, "Controlling ten people of the same rank? You call that 'not much of a problem'?"

Just then, the delicate, naive voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm echoed in the spiritual sea: "Master, Master! You haven't shown off my third soul skill yet!"

Tang An shifted his thoughts, and the information regarding his third soul skill surfaced in his mind.

Time Stop Control Domain.

This was the core ability of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and her true trump card as a million-year soul beast.

By creating a time-stop domain within a certain range, Tang An could manipulate the flow of time and the perception of space within it.

Simply put, it was the ability Tian Meng had previously used to bring the surrounding time and space to a near standstill.

The power of this soul skill lay in the fact that it was not merely a mental attack, but one that acted directly upon the opponent's soul; it belonged to the realm of causal mental power manipulation and was almost impossible to defend against using conventional means.

Although it could currently only be maintained for ten seconds and the range was limited to a hundred-meter radius, it was absolutely a top-tier trump card.

"The third soul skill will be kept as a trump card," Tang An said to Tian Meng in his mind.

"Understood!" Tian Meng nodded obediently, then added eagerly, "Oh, right, Master, hurry and put away my molted skin! It's right there on the ground!"

Tang An looked down and saw a layer of pale gold skin on the ground; it was indeed the remains left behind by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm after her sacrifice.

The object looked like a layer of silk as thin as a cicada's wing, pale gold in its entirety, shimmering with a soft luster under the sunlight.

"Little Dream, what exactly is the use of this thing?" Tang An asked in his mind.

He vaguely remembered that in the original work, Tian Meng's molted skin was a good item, but he couldn't quite recall the specific details.

"Master, my molted skin is amazing!" Tian Meng said triumphantly, puffing out her small chest, "It has three main abilities!"
