One Soul Ring, Two Soul Skills

Bang!

The moment Niu Gao threw the Golden Python before Jin Feng, its enormous body struck the ground with a tremendous crash, making the earth tremble twice.

Seeing this,

Jin Feng did not hesitate.

With a thought, the Golden Horned Behemoth Martial Soul beside him moved directly, smashing the Golden Python's head apart with a single claw.

After the Golden Python died,

a brilliant, dazzling purple Soul Ring quickly condensed above its corpse.

Next, Jin Feng used Soul Power to draw the Soul Ring over, preparing to follow the Externalized Martial Soul cultivation method recorded on the continent and place this Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Ring around the Golden Horned Behemoth, allowing it to absorb it, break through, and grow stronger.

However,

the moment Jin Feng placed the purple Soul Ring around the Golden Horned Behemoth,

it was violently bounced aside.

At the same time, the Golden Horned Behemoth Martial Soul sent him a message: this Soul Ring had to be absorbed by his own body.

At this,

after a brief moment of shock, Jin Feng quickly accepted it all.

After all, his situation differed from that of the Externalized Martial Soul masters recorded on the continent.

Others could not have one Martial Soul capable of both an Externalized Martial Soul and Martial Soul Possession.

With that thought,

he immediately sat cross-legged where he was.

Using his own Soul Power, he began drawing the Golden Python's Thousand-Year Soul Ring onto himself.

As Jin Feng absorbed the energy within the Soul Ring,

a surging torrent of energy suddenly poured from the Golden Python's Soul Ring into his body, rapidly flowing through his limbs and bones, washing over his flesh, skeletal frame, and meridians.

In an instant,

intense pain swept through Jin Feng's entire body.

Fortunately, Jin Feng's physical body was powerful, and his will was even more extraordinary. Even though the energy within the Golden Python's Soul Ring was incomparably violent, it could not stop him from refining it.

Thus, he quickly endured the most difficult stage of absorbing the Soul Ring, and his aura gradually stabilized.

Meanwhile,

the Golden Horned Behemoth lying on the ground sensed that its master Jin Feng's aura had stabilized. It suddenly stood up, walked to the Golden Python's corpse, lowered its head, and began tearing into it and Devouring it in huge bites.

As the Golden Python's corpse gradually shrank,

the golden secret patterns on the Golden Horned Behemoth's body became increasingly radiant. Its Internal World operated at full force, refining the energy within the Golden Python's flesh and blood, while its body steadily grew larger at a visible rate.

At this sight,

Niu Gao, who was standing guard for Jin Feng nearby, suddenly contracted his pupils.

A flash of shock first passed through his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. Only when he turned to look at Jin Feng again did his gaze gain a trace of deeper meaning.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Under Niu Gao's watchful gaze, after he had stayed awake all night with his nerves stretched taut, Jin Feng successfully absorbed the purple Soul Ring into his body and opened his golden-glimmering eyes.

As he rose to his feet,

a bright purple Soul Ring suddenly rose beneath them.

Looking at Jin Feng before him, who had grown noticeably taller from absorbing the Soul Ring, stood upon a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and radiated high spirits, the exhaustion on Niu Gao's face was instantly swept away.

He grinned and laughed loudly. "Hahaha, a first Soul Ring of a thousand years! Little Feng, you truly did not disappoint us! The records of Douluo Continent since ancient times will be rewritten by you from this day onward! Hurry, tell Grandpa what level your Soul Power is now, and what Soul Skill your Thousand-Year first ring gave you!"

Looking at the curious Niu Gao before him,

Jin Feng chuckled. "Grandpa, you might not believe this, but after absorbing a 1,500-year Soul Beast as my first Soul Ring, my Soul Power is currently only level 12. But... I now have two Soul Skills with one ring! And both of these Soul Skills can be used whether it is the Externalized Golden Horned Behemoth or the Martial Soul Possession state."

Upon hearing Jin Feng say that his Soul Power was only level 12,

Niu Gao unconsciously frowned.

In his view, after Jin Feng had absorbed a 1,500-year Soul Beast as his first ring, even if he had not reached level 15, he should at least have attained level 13 or 14.

Level 12 Soul Power was truly beyond his expectations.

However,

before he could speak,

Jin Feng's words that his first Soul Ring had granted him two Soul Skills reached his ears.

In an instant, Niu Gao seemed to have been struck by lightning. He froze where he stood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What!

"One Soul Ring, two Soul Skills?

"How is that possible?"

In the records of Douluo Continent throughout the ages, a single Soul Ring granting two Soul Skills had only ever been possible with red Soul Rings provided by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

And now,

Jin Feng was actually saying that the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Golden Python, which Niu Gao had personally hunted, had provided two Soul Skills. How could Niu Gao not be shocked?

At this,

Jin Feng did not waste words.

Hearing was not as good as seeing.

Only by allowing his grandfather to witness his Soul Skills with his own eyes could he dispel all doubts.

With that thought,

as Jin Feng's mind stirred,

not far from him, the Golden Horned Behemoth—which had spent the entire night completely Devouring and refining the nine-meter-long Golden Python corpse, growing to two meters in size—immediately turned into a streak of golden light and shot into his body, helping him complete Martial Soul Possession.

After his body completed its beastification,

Jin Feng gripped the Black Gold Longblade formed from the Golden Horned Behemoth's tail. Feeling the powerful force coursing through his body, the corners of his lips involuntarily rose.

"First Soul Skill: Golden Scale Body Protection!"

"First Soul Skill: Golden Light Slash!"

With Jin Feng's two soft shouts, his sole purple Soul Ring lit up.

The black-gold scales covering the surface of his skin in his beastified state suddenly grew larger and harder. The golden secret patterns upon them lit up, countless patterns connecting together to form a thin layer of energy film over his body.

At the same time,

the Black Gold Longblade in Jin Feng's hand also bloomed with dazzling golden radiance.

After charging for a moment, he swung his blade, releasing a brilliant golden blade aura.

Whoosh!

Niu Gao only felt a fierce gust roar past him.

Then he saw the golden blade aura Jin Feng had unleashed cut through an ancient tree that required three people joining hands to encircle it, severing it cleanly at the waist with an incomparably smooth cross-section!

Boom!

As the ancient tree crashed to the ground with a tremendous bang,

Niu Gao finally slowly recovered his senses.

Before he could speak, Jin Feng's voice rang out beside him again. "What do you think, Grandpa? I wasn't lying, was I? My first Soul Ring really does have two Soul Skills."

"[Golden Scale Body Protection] is a defensive Soul Skill. It can enlarge and harden the scales on either 'me under Martial Soul Possession' or the 'Externalized Martial Soul Golden Horned Behemoth.' The golden secret patterns on the scales interweave to form an energy defense film, increasing base defense by 100% and reducing damage from an enemy's elemental Soul Skills by 50%. It lasts for one hour."

"[Golden Light Slash] is an offensive Soul Skill. It gathers and charges metal-element Soul Power, then releases blade aura slashes through the longblade in Martial Soul Possession or the Golden Horned Behemoth's wings. The longer the charge time, the greater the power."

After Jin Feng finished introducing and demonstrating his Soul Skills,

"Hiss..."

Niu Gao, now fully recovered from his shock, could not help drawing in a sharp breath, contributing yet more to the warming of the continent.

Although Jin Feng's cultivation level was about two levels lower than Niu Gao had expected, he had gained an additional offensive Soul Skill. No matter how one looked at it, that was an excellent trade.

After all,

Soul Power could be cultivated.

But aside from Self-Created Soul Skills, Soul Skills could only be granted by Soul Rings and could not be chosen freely.
