The First Soul Skill, Spirit Binding and General Summoning!

Pick whatever I want?

This felt great!

Lin Ya had originally thought that when he came to hunt for a soul ring, he would first have to go through some thrilling battle, fight fiercely himself, and finally obtain his first soul ring.

But now...

With seven hundred-year soul beasts lying before him, Lin Ya did not even have a chance to use the Golden Light Mantra.

Seeing Lin Ya remain silent, Xue Xing assumed he was dissatisfied. "None you like? Then I'll have them bring another batch."

"No need, no need. These are all pretty good," Lin Ya quickly said.

There were not that many hundred-year soul beasts in Soul Hunting Forest to begin with, so there was no need to waste them.

As for himself...

Lin Ya looked around. He actually had some guesses about the combination of his martial soul and soul rings.

He just was not entirely certain of them.

He felt that if his first soul ring came from a lightning-attributed soul beast, then his first soul skill would most likely be related to lightning arts.

If he chose an earth-attributed soul beast, then his first soul skill might be something like an Earth-Traversing Immortal technique.

But what if...

Lin Ya looked at the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider.

What if he chose the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider? What would his first soul skill be?

Tang Sect's Dan Devour?

With that thought in mind, Lin Ya silently raised his hand and pointed at the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider.

"Uncle, I'll choose this one."

"This one? That works." Xue Xing nodded. He also thought this spider was quite good.

Xue Xing took an exquisite dagger from his soul tool and handed it to Lin Ya, then said seriously, "A soul master's soul ring must be obtained personally. Lin Ya, it's up to you. Be careful."

Lin Ya nodded, then took the sharp dagger and walked over to the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider.

Hiss! Hiss!

The Soul-Devouring Demon Spider still tried to struggle, but under the suppression of a Soul Sage, how could it possibly resist?

Lin Ya looked at the giant spider before him, took a deep breath, and brought the blade down!

Pfft!

Green blood flowed out. The Soul-Devouring Demon Spider struggled a few times before collapsing completely, motionless on the ground.

Yellow light gathered around its body and formed a yellow ring. This was the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider's soul ring—a hundred-year soul ring!

Seeing Lin Ya dispatch the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider so cleanly, Xue Xing's eyes filled with satisfaction.

As a member of the imperial family, what he feared most was that this nephew of his would possess excessive compassion.

Kindness was a wonderful quality, but it could not be extended to everyone... or rather, every living thing.

"Lin Ya, begin."

Lin Ya nodded. He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and silently circulated his soul power.

Golden light began to shine from his body. Drawn by that golden radiance, the hundred-year soul ring slowly flew toward Lin Ya's body.

The soul ring turned into a streak of light and instantly fused into Lin Ya's body. Immediately afterward, Lin Ya felt an overwhelming force crashing through every part of his body!

"Lin Ya! Hold on! Don't give up!" Xue Xing said worriedly from the side.

Although a soul master's first soul ring could be a hundred-year soul ring, some people born with weaker constitutions truly could not endure it.

But Lin Ya had always been in good physical condition. He had even secretly consumed whale glue to strengthen his body, so he could naturally withstand this power!

Buzz!

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ya finally felt that force settle down.

Lin Ya slowly opened his eyes to see a yellow soul ring slowly circling beneath his feet.

He had succeeded!

At that moment, Lin Ya felt incomparably refreshed in every muscle. It was a transformation on the level of life itself!

With the enhancement of a hundred-year soul ring, his physical fitness had improved noticeably. He had even grown a little taller.

He had finally become an eleventh-rank soul master!

"Lin Ya! You succeeded!" Xue Xing looked at Lin Ya excitedly.

Seeing Lin Ya obtain his first soul ring made him even more excited than when he had obtained his own sixth soul ring.

This was the future of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!

"Mm, I succeeded." Lin Ya smiled in reply.

Prince Xue Xing impatiently asked, "Then, what is your first soul skill?"

The strength of a soul skill was an important factor in determining a soul master's combat power.

Although it was only his first soul ring, it was best if it didn't turn out useless.

Lin Ya said nothing. He also wanted to test his first soul skill now.

He took several steps back to widen the distance between himself and Xue Xing, then raised a hand, pointed in one direction, and said:

"Uncle, this is my first soul skill."

Suddenly, the yellow soul ring beneath Lin Ya's feet transformed into a black phantom that continuously circled around him.

Seeing this bizarre scene, everyone present widened their eyes.

What? What kind of soul skill was this?

A soul ring could actually change form? That made no sense!

And this was only the beginning. Looking at the phantom circling him, Lin Ya finally spoke the name of his soul skill:

"First Soul Skill! Spirit Binding and General Summoning!"

Buzz!

As Lin Ya's voice fell, the phantom suddenly shot out!

In an instant, it transformed directly into a ferocious giant spider! It was the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider that had just been killed!

"What?!" Prince Xue Xing's eyes widened!

A soul beast had become a soul ring! And now, the soul ring could actually become a soul beast again!

Xue Xing gave his subordinate a look. The Soul King at the side immediately released his hold suppressing the soul beast!

Roar!

Freed at last, the hundred-year Wind Baboon instantly let out a roar, then...

Turned around and tried to flee!

"Lin Ya! Test the power of your soul skill!"

"Alright." Lin Ya nodded and pointed. The Soul-Devouring Demon Spider's soul immediately chased after the hundred-year Wind Baboon!

Roar!!!

The Wind Baboon roared!

You bastard! Even after dying, you still won't let me go?!

A hundred-year soul beast was not without the strength to fight even a level-twenty soul master.

I truly wasn't your match when you were alive, Soul-Devouring Demon Spider. But you're dead now, and you're only the first soul skill of an eleventh-level soul master. Why would I be afraid of you?

The Wind Baboon opened its huge mouth and blasted a ball of compressed wind straight at the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider!

Under the terrifying wind pressure, the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees were blown flat! Its power was comparable to a hundred-year soul skill used by a level-twenty Great Soul Master!

Yet the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider showed no fear at all. It charged headfirst into the gale, then brought its two forelegs together and thrust them out!

Soul Skill! Spear of the Unending!

A flash of dark green light! The Wind Baboon's body froze where it stood!

It looked down at its chest in disbelief. Seeing the blood flowing out, it roared once before collapsing to the ground.

Boom!

A yellow soul ring emerged above its head, signifying that this hundred-year Wind Baboon had ultimately lost its life...

Seeing this, every soul master present stood frozen in place, staring at Lin Ya before them in disbelief.

A soul master's first soul skill had actually instantly killed a hundred-year soul beast!

This soul skill was completely overpowered!!!
