Ah Yin

The light specks around the Flowing Shadow Azure Wolf gradually faded, and its body was firmly pinned in place by the spider silk spat out by the Death Spider Emperor.

The bone-eroding venom corroded the Flowing Shadow Azure Wolf completely in an instant. A deep purple Soul Ring floated up from the corpse of the Flowing Shadow Azure Wolf.

At the sight, both Golden Crocodile Douluo and Bibi Dong revealed satisfied looks in their eyes.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was satisfied because Ling Jing's battle had unfolded exactly as they had expected: his main body copied the Seraphim Martial Soul, while the other clones copied other Martial Souls for control, support, and combat. There had not been the slightest bit of hesitation or messiness.

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, was satisfied because the Flowing Shadow Azure Wolf had ultimately died to the Death Spider Emperor's venom.

Although Little Jing's main body had copied the Seraphim Martial Soul, this Soul Beast had ultimately been killed by her Death Spider Emperor!

Therefore, her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul was still more useful than the Seraphim Martial Soul!

Ling Jing turned back to glance at Bibi Dong and Golden Crocodile Douluo, then sat down cross-legged and guided the purple Soul Ring onto himself.

In an instant, immense energy surged into Ling Jing's body. Although this Soul Ring exceeded the absorption limit for a Soul Master's third Soul Ring, it had not yet reached the level of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, so Ling Jing did not feel much pain.

Time quietly passed.

Before long, Ling Jing opened his eyes again. A faint golden glint seemed to flash through them, while the deep purple Soul Ring beneath his feet quietly emerged.

At this moment, his Soul Power had already reached level thirty-five.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate primarily improved physical constitution and did not directly increase Soul Power. Likewise, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew enhanced spiritual power. Logically speaking, Ling Jing's Soul Power should not have risen so dramatically.

However, he had reached level thirty long ago. He simply had not hunted a Soul Ring yet, so the Soul Power he had cultivated was still there.

Combined with the abundant natural essence of the Icefire Yin Yang Well and the boost from the Soul Ring's energy, his Soul Power Level had leapt straight to level thirty-five.

A thoughtful look immediately appeared in Ling Jing's eyes. He still had one chance to form a contract. If he directly contracted Bo Saixi, copied her Sea God Martial Soul, and gained fifty percent of the Sea God Martial Soul's traits...

Wouldn't he directly reach level forty?

The math should be right, shouldn't it?

As a Divine Gift Martial Soul, Bo Saixi's Sea God Martial Soul should have traits identical to the Seraphim Martial Soul. Copying fifty percent of its Martial Soul traits would probably grant him another five levels of Divine Gift Soul Power.

But... there seemed to be no need for him to rush.

He could indeed head directly to Sea God Island, form a contract with Bo Saixi, and reach level forty Soul Power in one stroke. But the difficulty of going from level thirty-five to forty was clearly different from going from level eighty-five to ninety.

If possible, Ling Jing would still prefer to save Bo Saixi for a later contract.

After all, Bo Saixi was on Sea God Island. She was not going anywhere.

The later he formed the contract, the more beneficial it would be for his cultivation.

Besides, Qian Daoliu was still alive... Contracting Bo Saixi just like this felt a little strange.

"Little Jing, how effective is your third Soul Skill?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo walked over, a faint smile on his face. Bibi Dong was one step behind him, but she wore the same concerned expression.

"My third Soul Skill is called Thousand Currents Illusory Realm." After carefully sensing it, Ling Jing spoke softly. "Its effect is to release a large number of tiny mirror images that continuously distort and interfere with the enemy's senses and spiritual perception. It can disrupt the enemy's Soul Skills and even interrupt their activation."

"If both the main body and the clones release the third Soul Skill at the same time, stacking its effects in multiple layers, it can even throw the enemy's mind into chaos, as if they have been placed within an illusion."

The effect of a single Soul Skill... could be considered a decent spiritual-type Soul Skill. But Little Jing could create clones, and the effect produced when both the main body and clones released it at once... was more than enough to be called excellent!

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in satisfaction. "It is a good Soul Skill, especially since it can coordinate with your previous clone Soul Skill."

As he spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo paused slightly, as though something had occurred to him. "In future battles, you do not necessarily have to insist on having your main body copy other Martial Souls. More often, you can keep your main body as the Mirror Beast Emperor Martial Soul and have your clones copy Martial Souls to fight."

"Of course, what kind of combat method you choose will depend on the circumstances at the time. You only need to know how to adapt."

Hearing this, Ling Jing nodded obediently.

Bibi Dong, however, revealed a thoughtful expression. If Little Jing always kept his main body as the Mirror Beast Emperor Martial Soul and did not copy any Martial Soul, she seemed as though she would feel much better about it.

Of course, if possible, she still hoped that whenever Little Jing copied a Martial Soul, he would only copy hers.

"Alright. Since Little Jing has already obtained his third Soul Ring, let us leave the Star Dou Great Forest. Dong'er will probably have a hard time breaking through to level eighty anytime soon."

The moment Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice fell, a light, cheerful humming suddenly drifted over from not far away.

Hearing it, Golden Crocodile Douluo instinctively frowned. Then his figure flashed, and he directly brought Bibi Dong and Ling Jing to where the sound had come from.

Ling Jing looked over instinctively, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

In the clearing amid the towering ancient trees, a slender figure stood quietly.

She was a woman who appeared to be a little over twenty years old. She wore a pale blue dress, its hem embroidered with fine silver patterns that glimmered softly in the dappled light filtering through the leaves.

Her sky-blue hair cascaded to her waist like a waterfall. As the breeze passed, a few strands rose gently, making her profile appear even fairer and more jade-like.

She was exquisitely beautiful, but her beauty differed from Bibi Dong's. It was an ethereal, limpid softness, untainted by the dust of the world.

She seemed not to have noticed Golden Crocodile Douluo's arrival. She continued humming an unknown tune, occasionally bending down to gently touch the Blue Silver Grass growing on the ground.

Ling Jing could clearly see that whenever she lightly stroked the Blue Silver Grass on the ground, the grass suddenly grew a little!

Ling Jing immediately had some guesses about this woman's identity.

She... couldn't be the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor in human form, Tang San's mother, Ah Yin?

At this time, Ah Yin had not yet met Tang Hao, and her strength apparently had not reached the Soul Saint realm... In that case, Golden Crocodile Douluo would recognize Ah Yin's identity at a glance and see through her true nature as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation!
