Siphon Cultivation Method

Lin You borrowed the White Tiger Dagger and, following the instructions, plunged it into a crack in the stone. But as milky-white blade light burst forth, the Gathering Dispersing Stone Beast actually split into several smaller stone beasts.

"Keep going. There's a limit to how many times it can split. Its vitality is incredibly tenacious; unless you blast it all to bits in one go, smashing it into fragments all over the ground will just leave you with a field of smaller stone beasts," Brother Sky Dream directed.

Hearing this, Lin You's mouth twitched. Feeling the Soul Power continuously draining from his body, absorbed by the White Tiger Dagger and transformed into blade light, he said irritably, "This thing is way too hard to kill. And it's still stunned, completely defenseless. If we ran into it under normal circumstances, wouldn't we have to wear it down for at least an entire day?"

Still, the more unusual a Soul Beast was, the better the Soul Ring it produced. Lin You did not mind the trouble. As he continuously swung the White Tiger Dagger, the vitality of this massive Gathering Dispersing Stone Beast finally reached its end. Soon, an orange-yellow Soul Ring slowly rose from the scattered fragments.

"You-ge, hurry. A Soul Ring only lasts for two hours, so restore your strength quickly," Huo Yuhao urged. The Star Dou Great Forest was, after all, the domain of Soul Beasts. As time passed, more and more Soul Beasts were waking from their comas. Brother Sky Dream had also said that he could not rashly reveal his aura to frighten them away, or he might attract even more terrifying enemies.

Thus, all the pressure of defending fell upon Huo Yuhao alone. However, after absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year Soul Ring, her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Her Soul Power Level had surged to Level Eighteen, and the intensity of her Spiritual Power had risen accordingly. Now, even ordinary hundred-year Soul Beasts were like chickens and dogs before her, killed with a single glare.

Lin You did not hesitate. He immediately sat cross-legged and, without holding back, unleashed his special ability to absorb Soul Power. As his Martial Soul appeared, an invisible vortex of Soul Power instantly twisted into being around him, centered on his body!

"Huh? What is Lin You doing?" This strange phenomenon immediately caught Brother Sky Dream's attention.

"Hard to understand, truly hard to understand. Soul Power can actually be absorbed like this? This is even more efficient than us Soul Beasts absorbing the Heaven and Earth Origin Power!" Brother Sky Dream clicked his tongue in amazement. It was truly an eye-opener.

Although the range of absorption was not large, at most a radius of around thirty meters, it absorbed the surrounding Soul Power like a whale swallowing water!

This ability would immediately drain all the nearby Soul Power clean, then create a vacuum siphon effect. Once the Soul Power in one area vanished, the surrounding Soul Power would be forced to rush into that vacuum to maintain balance. As long as the absorption did not stop, it was equivalent to an endless supply of Soul Power being fed directly into his mouth.

To put it another way, ordinary Soul Masters used the Meditation Cultivation Method like taking small bites of a meal, chewing slowly and carefully. It was slow and inefficient, but safe and stable.

Lin You's cultivation method, on the other hand, was like swallowing all the food on the table, along with the plates, table, and chairs, then using the Four-Dimensional Chrysanthemum to crap out the tables, chairs, chopsticks, and stools afterward. He simply was not afraid of eating himself to death.

After taking a deep breath, Lin You slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Then, multicolored light flashed across the surface of his body in an instant before fading away.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao moved closer without the slightest hesitation. The two were practically pressed together. A clear gleam flickered through her eyes, as she had clearly caught the pure Spirit Attribute Soul Power just now.

In theory, Lin You himself was also a super support machine. Any type of Soul Master could gain tremendous improvement by absorbing the residual Soul Power of various attributes around him. One person was driving the economic growth of all attribute-based Soul Masters.

"Tsk, tsk. Good thing you aren't in a high-energy area. If you were in the Far North or the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, cultivating this way would blow you apart in no time. You can't just eat Heaven and Earth Origin Power whenever you want." Though he said that, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice carried a trace of envy.

If they fed him more ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber to strengthen his body, gave him a couple of Immortal Herbs to chew on, equipped him with six soul bones that enhanced his physique, and tossed him into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then with this kid's cultivation method, he could probably reach the level of a Limit Douluo in less than twenty years.

Without the Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed, without Soul Spirits, without power transmission, and without any Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, he could reach the pinnacle of humanity before the age of thirty through cultivation alone.

After all, a stronger body could absorb Soul Rings of higher ages, and higher-level Soul Rings would provide even greater physical improvements. As long as his body could endure it, this kid's cultivation speed would unquestionably rank first in the world, leaving second place far behind. This heretical technique of stepping on his own left foot with his right foot might really let him fly into the sky.

And Yuhao had said that his Innate Soul Power was actually only half a level!

With half a level of Innate Soul Power, there was no way he could have reached Level Ten at such a young age. In other words, this kid had already comprehended this special cultivation method when his Martial Soul awakened.

For a moment, Brother Sky Dream even began to wonder whether this kid was some God King, like himself, who had been reborn through Space-Time Turbulence.

Otherwise, how could someone so young already be this monstrous? What would happen once he grew up?

But after thinking it over, Brother Sky Dream came to terms with it.

He had never heard this name in his previous life. This kid had probably ended up buried and forgotten within the White Tiger Duke Residence.

With only half a level of Innate Soul Power, and no one to help him hunt attribute-less Soul Beasts, his life would have reached its limit there. If he accidentally absorbed a Soul Beast of another attribute, he might even explode and die. No wonder this kid had remained obscure in his previous life.

In just a minute or two, Lin You opened his eyes again, already restored to his peak condition. Looking at the ring-shaped object beside him that flickered with orange-yellow light, he raised a hand and beckoned. The next second, as if sensing something, the Soul Ring surged rapidly toward his hand.

As a warm sensation flowed throughout his body with his Soul Power, Lin You could clearly feel the yellow ring of light rotating around him merging with his body. It was as though a stove burned beside him in the middle of winter, making his entire body tingle and melt.

Nothing unexpected happened during the process, just as Lin You had hoped. He did not like variables.

About half an hour passed.

Seeing the yellow Soul Ring rotating obediently around Lin You's body, Huo Yuhao gradually relaxed.

During the process of absorbing a Soul Ring, if there was little commotion as the Soul Ring fused with the body, it meant the Soul Ring's energy was gradually being absorbed by the Soul Master. At that point, they only needed to wait for the body and Martial Soul to absorb the Soul Ring's energy completely.

"Next comes the Soul Ring's modification of the Martial Soul. But what potential for modification could an Air Martial Soul possibly have?" Rather than sleeping, Brother Sky Dream stared on with immense curiosity.

The next second, after the energy of the Soul Ring had been absorbed, the surroundings seemed to undergo some subtle change. Yet even after Brother Sky Dream expanded the precision of his spiritual detection, he still found nothing unusual.

However, he could be certain that this kid had undergone some invisible change, and that its range of influence was vast.

"Truly unfathomable." Within the Sea of Consciousness, Brother Sky Dream shook his head, feeling that he was still far too young.

After exhaling a long breath of stale air, Lin You opened his eyes and stood up. Having successfully absorbed his first Soul Ring, his body had become noticeably sturdier, he had grown several inches taller, and his physical condition had clearly improved.

"You-ge, how is it? What does it feel like?" Huo Yuhao asked expectantly. She herself had not felt anything special when her Soul Ring was added; her consciousness had merely blurred for a while before it succeeded, and her body had grown a little. But she cared more about Lin You's current condition.

"I'm fine. My physical condition has improved immensely. It's nothing like ordinary physical training can compare to." Lin You examined his hands in disbelief. He had never felt so refreshed, as smooth and effortless as skating on ice.

Then, as he focused inward and sensed his Soul Skill, his body suddenly stiffened. A suppressed smile then surfaced at the corner of his lips.
