Soul King Shelly

With astonishing willpower, Yang Shelly endured the excruciating pain throughout her body and retrieved a brocade box measuring 30 centimeters in length and width and about 20 centimeters in height from her Storage Soul Tool.

Upon opening the brocade box, one finds rows of white, transparent crystal balls, each about the size of a baby's fist.

The "Soul Storage Crystal Type IV" can store half of the Soul Power within a level 38 Soul Elder.

It's not that Ling Yi is unable to develop and inscribe a higher-level "Soul Storage Array Patterns" that can store more Soul Power, but rather that the quality of the raw material crystals currently discovered is insufficient to accommodate Gao Qiang Soul Power.

Therefore, the research and development of "Soul Storage Crystal" has been stagnant for several years and has not yet been successful.

Of course, part of the reason is that Ling Yi himself doesn't spend much time and energy on this.

However, for now, this "Soul Storage Crystal Type IV" is sufficient for Ling Yi and his close friends and family.

Gritting her teeth, Yang Shelly took out two "Soul Storage Crystal - Type IV" and embedded them into the shoulder openings of her "Azure Wood Battle Armor".

The next second, the Soul Power within the two crystal balls poured out like water, entering the "Azure Wood Battle Armor" and being absorbed by the eighteen "Vitality Blue Silver Grass" inside the armor.

"Buzz—!"

A soft humming sound rang out as "Soul Guidance Array Diagram - Endless Life" activated at full power!

A vibrant blue-green light shone forth, instantly enveloping Yang Shelly's body, which was on the verge of breaking.

Instead of waiting for the life force to heal her injuries on its own, Yang Shelly took out two more "Soul Storage Crystal - Type IV" and drew upon the Soul Power she had previously injected into them. She then mobilized her Soul Power to work in conjunction with the life force to accelerate the healing of her various wounds.

More than two hours later, after consuming a full thirty-nine "Soul Storage Crystal Type IV", equivalent to the total Soul Power of nearly twenty level thirty-eight Soul Elder, Yang Shelly's injuries were finally fully healed, and even her Soul Power returned to its peak state.

After closing her eyes and concentrating for another half hour, her mind had been somewhat refreshed. Only then did Yang Shelly open her eyes, a bright light flashing in them as her Soul Power and spiritual power overflowed.

After storing the thirty-nine empty "Soul Storage Crystal Type IV" and two brocade boxes into the Storage Soul Tool, Yang Shelly took out the body and head of the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" from the "Active Storage Bracelet".

At this moment, both the lizard-like dragon head with its spiraled horns and its body, which resembled an enlarged version of a velociraptor, were still as hot as they were before being stored in the "Active Storage Bracelet," as if they had just been killed.

Points of black Soul Power emanated from the corpse and began to converge a few feet above.

Visible to the naked eye, Sisi of dark red light, like lava, surged within the gathered mass of Soul Power.

That is the 'Dragon Flame Power' inherent in the ' One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast ' itself.

Of course, the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" cannot breathe, but the single horn on its forehead can emit a terrifying beam of light with astonishing destructive power—the "Dragon Flame Ray"!

More than half of Yang Shelly's injuries in the previous battle were caused by this "Dragon Flame Ray".

Although the "Azure Wood Battle Armor" has strong defense, it can only block the terrifying penetrating effect when facing the "Flame Dragon Ray". The impact and the burning effect of the "Dragon Flame" still make Yang Shelly suffer.

Time passed second by second. During this time, the Soul Ring belonging to the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" condensed and was drawn over by Yang Shelly, who began to absorb it.

Compared to the immense Soul Power brought by 18,000 years of cultivation, and the impact and pressure it brought to the meridians in her body, the soul impact of the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" was nothing in Yang Shelly's eyes. It didn't even cause the slightest trouble before being annihilated in her spiritual Sea of Consciousness once again.

After years of physical training, and having undergone a baptism of the upgraded secret medicine of the Yang Clan family of the "Breaking Clan", Yang Shelly's physical fitness is much stronger than that of most Soul King, and even some Soul Emperor who do not rely on physical strength cannot compare to her.

Therefore, the original upper limit of 12,000 years for the Fifth Soul Ring was directly broken, and it jumped to 18,000 years. It's no weaker than Woma's Sixth Soul Ring!

As the Soul Ring was successfully absorbed and refined, the barrier that imprisoned her Soul Power was broken. Yang Shelly could sense that her Soul Power had increased by more than one level, almost two levels.

Her tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, illuminating the dark underground chamber in an instant. Yang Shelly's phoenix eyes were devoid of any emotion as she stretched out her right hand, revealing her Martial Soul, "Soul -Soul-Breaking Hooked Scythe Spear." Five Soul Ring —two yellow, two purple, and one black—emerged and swirled beneath her.

With a thought, a flash of black light appeared on the newly acquired black Fifth Soul Ring, and a ring of black flames suddenly rose from around Yang Shelly's body, continuously converging towards the blade of the "Soul-Breaking Hooked Scythe Spear".

Fifth Soul Skill: Break—!!!

The name is simple, and the effect is equally simple: under the cover of black dragon flames, the attack power of the scythe is amplified five times. If it is a burst, the initial amplification is ten times, and the upper limit is unknown.

This effect surpasses Woma's "Sixth Soul Skill - Six-Armed Critical Strike", but Yang Shelly showed no joy at all.

"Still too weak!"

With an indifferent expression, Yang Shelly muttered to herself in an icy tone.

But she wasn't going to wait any longer!

Almost twenty-four hours have passed since Brother Yi was kidnapped. Every minute that is wasted means that Brother Yi is in greater danger.

Although the 35-centimeter-thick "Black-Yellow Earth Mother Alloy," with its hardness equivalent to "Cold Heart Iron Essence," combined with the toughness of "Deep Sea Heavy Silver," wasn't so easily broken; although Brother Yi carried a large amount of living supplies in his Storage Soul Tool; although with Brother Yi's own level 49 Soul Ancestor strength and the characteristics of his "Azure Wood Blue Silver King" Martial Soul, he could survive for more than a month in hibernation without food or water...

But Yang Shelly didn't want to waste a single second any longer!

She got up, collected the still-hot "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" corpse whose blood had cooled considerably, and then put the metal plates on all four sides into her Storage Soul Tool. Yang Shelly took out a shovel and began digging from an angle above.

Large chunks of soil and rocks were dug up and stored by Yang Shelly in a separate Storage Soul Tool. She was faster than the top tomb raiders digging tunnels and returned to the surface in an instant.

Sensing the aura of the eighteen "Vitality Blue Silver Grass" close to her body inside the armor, Yang Shelly walked in all four directions—north, south, east, and west—to determine Ling Yi's location.

"In this direction~"

Yang Shelly stopped and looked ahead. There was no fear or apprehension on her face, only an unwavering determination.

Still writing, next chapter before midnight~
