Second Soul Ring, Who Is Jingjing?

After catching several more Black-Scaled Vipers around four to five hundred years old in this woodland, Jiang Lin and the others left.

About half an hour later, after dealing with the Black-Scaled Vipers, Jiang Lin followed the habits of the Windfeather Falcon to a high cliff. He then opened the sack, and a rich stench of blood immediately spread out.

"Dragon Sister, let's wait at a distance now. A Windfeather Falcon should show up this time."

"And even if it doesn't, other flying Soul Beasts will come. If their age is suitable, I can use one as my second Soul Ring."

"Mm."

Jiang Lin's luck improved this time. Before long, a large bird with a wingspan of over four meters, covered in blue-gray feathers, flew in from afar and landed on the sack of snake meat.

"It's a Windfeather Falcon!"

"And it's a Windfeather Falcon around 2,100 years old. Dragon Sister, please help me severely injure it!"

Jiang Lin's eyes instantly lit up as he spoke to Little Dragon Girl beside him.

"Don't worry, Jiang Lin. It won't get away."

Little Dragon Girl's face was filled with confidence. The Frost Dragon Soul appeared behind her in an instant, and she let out a roar at the Windfeather Falcon that was still feeding.

"Roar!"

An incomparably frigid dragon breath poured forth. Just as the Windfeather Falcon tried to take flight, it was stunned by the dragon's roar, then its entire body was frozen by the icy dragon breath.

With just that one strike, the Windfeather Falcon's aura plummeted to its lowest point!

"Thank you, Dragon Sister."

A look of delight immediately appeared on Jiang Lin's face. He walked over to the Windfeather Falcon, and the King's Power Sword appeared in his palm before plunging into the bird's neck amid its terrified and resentful gaze.

"Screech—"

Its final cry rang out, and the Windfeather Falcon completely lost its breath. Soon after, a purple Soul Ring far more intense than the previous one rose from its corpse.

Excitement immediately appeared on Jiang Lin's face. Just as he was about to absorb it, Xiao Wu's voice sounded from afar.

"Jiang Lin, this Windfeather Falcon's Soul Ring is over two thousand years old. You've only just broken through to Soul Master—will absorbing it really be okay?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I'm confident. Before, I wasn't even a Soul Master, yet I could absorb the thousand-year Soul Ring of a Netherworld Leopard. What is there to worry about in absorbing the Windfeather Falcon's Soul Ring now?"

"Mm, but you still need to be careful, Jiang Lin."

Although she had faith in Jiang Lin, Xiao Wu could not help giving him another reminder.

Jiang Lin nodded, then sat cross-legged beside the Windfeather Falcon and began meditating as he absorbed the ring.

This absorption was clearly far more difficult than the first. It was only after two full hours that Jiang Lin opened his eyes with a pale face.

"Although the absorption process was a little bumpy, the result was good."

Jiang Lin murmured to himself. Then, two purple Soul Rings bloomed from his body, and an aura of Soul Power several times more powerful than before swept through the surroundings!

"As expected of a 2,100-year Soul Ring. It directly pushed my Soul Power Level to 28. Once I cultivate for a while longer, I can obtain my third Soul Ring and advance to Soul Elder."

"By then, I should be at most seven years old, right? A seven-year-old Soul Elder—this should make me the youngest Soul Elder in all the history of Douluo Continent!"

"Right, let's try out the Soul Skill granted by my second Soul Ring."

Excitement appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes as all the Soul Power in his body surged toward his back.

"Second Soul Skill, Azure-Feather Sword Wings!"

The next moment, the King's Power Sword in Jiang Lin's hand scattered into countless fragments. Drawn by a cyan current and Jiang Lin's Soul Power, they all fused into the spine on his back.

As an intense pain and tingling sensation surged through him, two cyan wings formed from fragments of the King's Power Sword extended directly from his spine. With a light flap, Jiang Lin's figure appeared a hundred meters away!

"Damn, this speed, this feeling... is this what flying feels like?"

Feeling this unprecedented and wondrous experience, Jiang Lin's eyes were filled with shock and excitement.

"Jiang Lin is flying. Is this Jiang Lin's second Soul Skill?"

A trace of envy and admiration appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.

Little Dragon Girl: Jiang Lin has grown stronger again. I should cultivate properly and hurry to break through to the next realm as well.

This brat's strength has improved incredibly quickly. How long has it even been, and he's already reached this level? If my seal remains unbroken, perhaps in just a few years, this brat's strength will surpass mine.

When that time comes, I really will have to let this brat do whatever he wants with me.

No, I absolutely cannot allow that to happen. I have to hurry and coax the method to break the seal out of this brat!

Watching Jiang Lin soar freely through the air, Tian Yan fell into thought.

A moment later, Jiang Lin withdrew the Azure-Feather Sword Wings behind him and landed on the high cliff again.

"Whew, this feeling is truly incredible, but the consumption is also really huge. In just ten minutes, more than half the Soul Power in my body has been used up."

"And unlike Little Dragon Girl and the others, I don't have any cultivation techniques. I can only rely on hard cultivation to recover."

"Right, I still have more than seven thousand Collapse Points. They're just sitting there anyway, so why not make a few draws and see if I can get one?"

"But now doesn't seem like a suitable time. Little Dragon Girl and Xiao Wu are both here. Right, I'll ask the system first."

"System, if I draw cards now, will anyone else discover you?"

[Ding!]

[Please rest assured, Host. The space containing the card-drawing roulette does not overlap with the current world, so only the Host can see it.]

Oh? So that's how it is?

A trace of surprise appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes, and he immediately summoned the Bronze Roulette.

[Ding!]

[Bronze card draws +1, Collapse Points balance -1000, current Collapse Points: 6630]

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Lin willed it to move. The Bronze Roulette immediately began spinning, its pointer passing over card after card before slowly coming to a stop.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Bronze one-star pill, the Spirit-Gathering Pill.]

[Effect: Greatly increases the user's efficiency in absorbing the natural energy of heaven and earth. Duration: 3 days.]

It's... it's only a one-star pill?

Jiang Lin froze upon hearing the system notification. An indescribable ache filled his heart, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Could it be that my previous lucky draws used up all my good fortune? Now that I've finally gained more Collapse Points, is it time to pay the price?

"Huh? Jiang Lin, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

A trace of confusion appeared on Xiao Wu's face. She clearly could not understand why Jiang Lin, who had been so excited just moments ago, had suddenly wilted and become completely dejected.

"Yeah, Jiang Lin, what happened? Is there something wrong with your second Soul Skill?"

Little Dragon Girl also walked over and asked in confusion.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I just want some peace and quiet."

Jiang Lin sighed, then prepared to draw once more. He refused to believe that he could not get anything good on his second try.

However, just as he was about to draw again, Tian Yan's voice sounded from beside him.

"Brat, who is Jingjing? I never thought having Xiao Wu and Sister Long'er wouldn't be enough for you—you're actually thinking about other women too."
