First Soul Skill

Tang San froze. He had finished absorbing it long ago?

How could that be?

"Brother Yu, you were that fast?" Tang San looked around. The Thousand-Year Soul Ring was already gone.

Ye Yu nodded. "Yeah. I finished absorbing it in less than ten minutes. It was much easier than I imagined."

Tang San: "..."

Tang San was utterly shaken. Absorbing a Four Hundred Year Soul Ring had been extremely difficult for him, and he had endured tremendous pressure and pain, yet Ye Yu had finished in ten minutes, and easily at that? This...

"Xiao San, what's wrong?" Ye Yu looked at the stunned Tang San and felt that this seemed a little bad. It looked like he had dealt him a bit of a blow.

"I... I'm fine. I want some peace and quiet..."

Tang San really had taken a hit. Why was the gap between people so huge?

Flender felt that if it had been him, he would have been even less calm than Tang San, and would definitely have started doubting life.

Flender felt that Tang San was also a genius monster, but he had discovered that even between geniuses, there were still gaps.

Tang San looked toward Master and found that Master's complexion had completely recovered. The bandage on his arm had also been removed, and the wound had actually already scabbed over.

Tang San trembled and looked toward Ye Yu, feeling that it had to be the effect of Ye Yu's First Soul Skill.

Master looked at Ye Yu in surprise and asked curiously, "Xiao Yu, tell us about your First Soul Skill. What kind of ability is it?"

Ye Yu nodded and explained, "My First Soul Skill is Healing. Its initial healing is 10%, and it increases according to the soul ring bonus. Right now I have one soul ring, so the healing effect is 10% + 10%, which is 20%. Once I obtain a second soul ring, it'll be 10% + 20%, which is 30%."

Master nodded in amazement. "So right now it's 20% healing. No wonder my injuries healed so quickly. If the healing rate reaches 100%, it's hard to imagine how terrifying the healing effect will be. I'd guess that even if someone only had one breath left, as long as they were healed by the First Soul Skill, they would recover rapidly."

Ye Yu nodded. This was no exaggeration. Once it reached 100%, it would definitely have that kind of effect, just like the effect of Senzu Beans in Dragon Ball.

Master continued, "Xiao Yu, your First Soul Skill isn't only Healing, is it? I sensed just now that vitality also increased along with it, and I felt more energetic."

Ye Yu nodded. "Yeah. It also adds a status effect, which is an increase in vitality that lasts thirty minutes. The initial value is 5%, and it increases according to the number of soul rings. Right now, it gives a 15% vitality bonus. As I get more soul rings, the duration will also become longer."

Hearing this, Master exclaimed in admiration, "A vitality bonus. What a terrifying ability."

Vitality could make a person much harder to beat down and less likely to die. Their body would not be so fragile. When vitality grew strong to the extreme, one's life force would become tenacious, and even with multiple fatal wounds, they would not die. Moreover, in battle, they would be better able to fight a war of attrition.

If one was not as strong as the opponent, but had powerful vitality, they might be able to wear the other side to death.

Listening to Ye Yu's First Soul Skill, Flender and Tang San were extremely shocked. What a terrifying ability.

With how powerful this First Soul Skill was, even if he faced a massive number of enemies alone in the future, he could hold out. He could heal and enhance vitality. For Ye Yu, it made him both durable and capable of fighting.

Master looked toward Tang San, also looking forward to what kind of skill his would be.

"Xiao San, tell us about your First Soul Skill."

Tang San nodded. A yellow soul ring circled around his body, and Blue Silver Grass emerged. It had originally only been as thick as an index finger, but now it was three times wider. The blades were thicker, with strange patterns on them.

Dozens of strands of Blue Silver Grass spread outward like vines, appearing tough and powerful. The tips of the grass blades were like snake heads, as if dozens of Mandala Snakes were dancing wildly.

The Blue Silver Grass gave off a faint tea fragrance. The intoxicating scent was filled with danger.

Tang San raised his hand toward a large tree nearby. The tree trunk was wrapped by the Blue Silver vines, and as Tang San pulled hard, the tree tilted while the vines stretched taut, showing no sign of breaking at all.

Master exclaimed in admiration, "As expected, it was also the most suitable choice. The Mandala Snake made the Blue Silver Grass even tougher."

Master could also foresee one ability and asked, "Xiao San, does the Blue Silver Grass also come with poison?"

"Yes, Teacher. The Blue Silver Grass has indeed inherited the Mandala Snake's poison, but it isn't a lethal toxin. It's the paralysis within Mandala Snake Poison, and the poison isn't very strong either."

Master nodded. "Very good. For a Control System Soul Master, the most important thing is controlling the opponent's movements. Now that the Blue Silver Grass has extremely strong toughness and also an added paralysis effect, it's a very good soul skill."

As for Ye Yu's and Tang San's First Soul Skills, Master felt they were both extremely powerful, and both of them had obtained the most suitable soul rings.

However, what Master and Flender were most curious about was why Ye Yu had absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring so easily.

Master asked curiously, "Xiao Yu, can you tell us what happened when you absorbed the soul ring? What you absorbed was a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, after all, and it also had repulsion. Originally, you should have endured greater pressure and pain than Xiao San. Even if your body is different from ordinary people's, it shouldn't have been this easy."

Flender also wanted to know what was going on. It was too unbelievable.

"Xiao Yu, if I hadn't watched you absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring with my own eyes, I would've thought you had absorbed a Ten Year Soul Ring."

Although Tang San had not witnessed it, from Master's and Flender's astonished expressions, he could imagine that Ye Yu's absorption just now had been extremely easy.

Ye Yu said frankly, "When I was absorbing it, the soul ring was about to generate resentment, but the resentment had only just appeared when it vanished. And with my Nine Spirit Black Tang, there was no repulsion either. It seemed to become extremely docile."

Flender was stunned when he heard this. Docile?

"Before, I was worried that the longer you took to absorb the soul ring, the harder it would become. After all, the Swift Growth Tiger had been brutally beaten by me. After it died, its resentment wouldn't be too strong at first, but it would quickly grow stronger and stronger, even reaching an extreme level of resentment. But when you absorbed it, it was extremely docile? How could that be..."

Flender was very astonished and could not understand it.

Ye Yu shook his head. "I'm not sure why either. The repulsion and resentment were both gone, and that made absorbing it very easy for me. The only thing I had to endure was the soul ring's enormous energy. But because my body is like a bottomless pit, and the organs inside my body are also extremely powerful, even when that surging energy struck me, I didn't feel any pain."

Listening to this, Tang San trembled. The terror of Ye Yu's body—even he, who understood it best, discovered that he had still underestimated it.

When he had absorbed a Four Hundred Year Soul Ring, that surging energy had made him feel as if he were in magma, and his insides had felt like they were on fire, causing him extreme pain and torment. But when Ye Yu faced the energy of a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, nothing happened to him at all.

Tang San lamented inwardly, Why do I have to be with a monster like Ye Yu? I originally thought I could still count as a genius, but in front of Ye Yu, I've discovered that I've become extremely ordinary.

Master frowned. Even he completely could not understand it.

"Although we don't know what's going on, it's clearly a good thing. Next, when you absorb a Nine Thousand Year Soul Ring, if there is still no resentment or repulsion, then perhaps you may really succeed!" Master said expectantly.

Flender's fighting spirit surged. "Then let's set out to hunt a Nine Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Ye Yu nodded, looking forward to what kind of soul skill the second soul ring he obtained would have.
