Second Soul Skill, Evil Phoenix Falling Feather Kill!

Green looked at Su Ming's resolute expression.

He stopped wasting words immediately; it was all written in the contract anyway, so even if Su Ming died, it would have nothing to do with him.

"Third Soul Skill, Ghost Eagle Wind Residual Kill!"

Green let out a low shout as two yellow and one purple soul rings lit up beneath his feet.

The phantom of the Ghost Shadow Eagle behind him flapped its wings violently, transforming into countless dense black wind blades that swept toward the Nine-Nether Demon-Faced Owl, blotting out the sky.

"Jie!"

Sensing the threat, the Nine-Nether Demon-Faced Owl flapped its wings, spreading a vast expanse of pitch-black mist in an attempt to defend itself.

But after all, it was only a soul beast of less than eight hundred years. Facing a level 36 agility-attack system soul master, the absolute gap in rank quickly caused it to fall into a disadvantage.

Boom, boom, boom!

The wind blades instantly tore through the black mist, leaving several deep, bone-visible wounds on the Demon-Faced Owl's body.

The giant bird let out a mournful cry, its massive body plummeting from mid-air and crashing heavily onto the ground with a loud thud.

Although it was still struggling frantically, it had already lost the ability to resist.

"It's done! Kill it quickly!" Green shouted, while vigilantly guarding the front.

Su Ming stepped forward with a blank expression.

He pulled out a pitch-black dagger and thrust it fiercely into the Demon-Faced Owl's skull.

"Li!"

The Demon-Faced Owl let out a shrill scream, then its head tilted to the side, losing all signs of life.

Hum.

Wisps of rich energy gathered, and a deep yellow soul ring slowly condensed above the corpse.

Without any hesitation, Su Ming sat cross-legged beside the Demon-Faced Owl's body.

Guided by his soul power, the massive deep yellow soul ring settled steadily over his head.

Boom!

Violent energy surged into his body, attempting to tear him apart.

Hmph, settle down for me!

Su Ming roared internally!

Su Ming frantically drove his soul power, and at the same time, a formidable aura erupted from within him.

Behind him, the phantom of a massive phoenix, mixed with red and black and burning with eerie evil flames, slowly emerged.

The moment the phoenix spread its wings, the surrounding space actually began to stretch and distort, visible to the naked eye.

Green, standing guard nearby, caught a glimpse and couldn't help but freeze in place.

This... is this a phoenix?! No, what kind of mutated martial soul is this?! Green knew about phoenix martial souls.

He was familiar with Ice Phoenixes and Fire Phoenixes.

But this was the first time he had ever seen a phoenix burning with black-red flames.

He looked at Su Ming in deep shock, finally understanding why Su Ming dared to risk absorbing a limit-breaking soul ring. With such a top-tier martial soul, perhaps he really could succeed!

Green couldn't help but grow nervous.

Meanwhile, inside Su Ming's body, his soul power was circulating frantically.

At first, the Demon-Faced Owl's energy tried to lash out at Su Ming, but as Su Ming's powerful mental force suppressed it and the Evil Devour began to operate, the energy of the Demon-Faced Owl instantly collapsed.

Evil Devour could consume all forms of energy; this was the confidence Su Ming had in absorbing a soul ring beyond his limit.

After all, he was just an ordinary person when he transmigrated, with no family wealth. He knew that things like whale glue could improve one's physique, but he had no money to buy them.

He could only train his body bitterly, which was why he dared to attempt a slight leap in rank.

Devour! Convert!

The Demon-Faced Owl's energy was torn to shreds, constantly transforming into the purest source energy, frantically nourishing Su Ming's body.

Green watched from the side, his heart in his throat.

In his line of sight, Su Ming's complexion turned from pale to green, but after only half an hour, that violent energy completely subsided.

Boom!

An aura far exceeding that of an ordinary level 20 soul master erupted from Su Ming's body.

Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, a faint, ghostly glint flashing deep within them.

Under the feedback of the massive energy, his soul power broke through like a hot knife through butter, rising two levels in a row to reach level 22 Great Soul Master!

Two soul rings rhythmically pulsed up and down beneath Su Ming's feet.

One was four hundred years, and the other was eight hundred years.

Green looked at Su Ming as if he were staring at a monster wearing human skin.

Absorbing an eight-hundred-year second spirit ring completely shattered the ironclad laws of the spirit master world.

Even the Saintess of the Spirit Hall probably couldn't achieve this, right?

Where on earth did this guy come from?

Su Ming then stood up, feeling the surging, torrential power within his body.

He clenched his fist.

At the same time, his second spirit skill was etched into his mind.

Second spirit skill, Evil Phoenix Falling Feather Kill!

This was an area-of-effect skill.

When unleashed, thousands of feather blades would shoot toward the opponent like a torrential rain!

Each feather blade was wrapped in viscous evil fire; enemies struck by them would suffer bone-gnawing agony!

As long as the evil fire remained unextinguished, the pain would not cease!

Furthermore, this spirit skill had a secondary retrieval effect: feathers that missed their targets would remain on the ground and not disappear immediately! When retrieved, if they struck an enemy, they would trigger a binding effect!

This move was impossible to guard against!

"Deacon Green, thank you for your help. We can head back now," Su Ming said.

Green finally snapped out of his daze. Seeing Su Ming's strength greatly increased, he said with a slight tremor, "Little brother, coming out to hunt for a spirit ring alone—you must not have the best relationship with your family. I wonder if you have any interest in joining the Spirit Hall? I can help recommend you."

Spirit Hall?

Su Ming thought for a moment. "I'll consider it."

Green felt a bit disappointed. If Su Ming could enter the Spirit Hall, he would receive massive benefits as the recommender.

"The Spirit Hall would certainly welcome your arrival," Green could only say.

With that, he escorted Su Ming away.

In a remote village outside Soto City, the dormitory area of Shrek Academy was deathly silent.

Su Ming pushed open the dormitory door.

As soon as he stepped inside, he felt a heavy sense of oppression.

Flender sat on the only bench with a dark face, his gaze locked onto Su Ming, his aura icy cold.

As for Ma Hongjun, he was huddled honestly to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Su Ming, where have you been these past few days?" Flender asked. His voice was as gloomy as his expression, like a volcano suppressing an impending eruption.

Su Ming replied calmly, "I didn't go anywhere; I just took a trip to the nearby forest to get my second spirit ring."

Hearing this, Flender could no longer contain himself.

He stood up abruptly, and the chair beneath him shattered instantly!!

"I knew it! I knew it would be like this!"

"I warned you in my office just a moment ago, and you turn around and play this 'act first, report later' game with me?!"

"Su Ming, do you even have me, your Dean, in your eyes at all?!"

"Tell me, did you seek out an evil-attribute spirit beast again? You are digging your own grave!!"

Facing Flender's furious roar, Su Ming didn't react much; he had already guessed that Flender would have this reaction.

He stated calmly, "Dean, it is precisely because I do not want to dig my own grave that I did this."

"What do you mean?" Flender was stunned.

Su Ming didn't waste words, instead directly manifesting his martial soul.

Hum!

In an instant, an Evil Fire Phoenix burning with crimson-black flames appeared behind him!
