Xiao Wu Becomes Huo Lei's Eighth Soul Ring
By the time Lin Yin finished devouring the Titan Giant Ape, it was already dark. Huo Lei and his group did not choose to leave. Now that the core area of Star Dou was no longer threatened by the two great Soul Beasts, and with the two Soul Beasts just dead, other Soul Beasts would not enter this area so quickly. Therefore, Huo Lei and his group chose to spend the night by the lake. This time, Huo Lei did not release the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to protect everyone, because Xiao Wu was still trapped inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Without the protection of the Fire and Thunder Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the group arranged for night watchmen. Lin Yin leveled up two times in one day and even obtained the Ghost Douluo's soul bone. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he volunteered to take on the night watchman role.
Nothing more was said that night.
The next morning, the bright sun rose from the east.
Although Lin Yin had kept watch all night, he remained energetic and showed no signs of fatigue.
After a night's rest, Huo Lei, whose mental energy was almost completely depleted, had recovered to his peak condition. When he fought the Sky Azure Bull Python, Huo Lei had used up almost all his mental energy before unleashing the Demon-Breaking Divine Light attack, just to be on the safe side. Fortunately, this skill did not disappoint him and successfully killed the powerful Sky Azure Bull Python.
After everyone finished breakfast, Huo Lei told Lin Yin to rest nearby. He, on the other hand, was preparing to absorb the Eighth Soul Ring of his Flame Martial Soul.
Huo Lei mobilized a wisp of his spiritual power to release the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, controlling it to Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in mid-air, only about three meters above the ground. Immediately afterward, Huo Lei activated the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine's Left Leg Bone skill, Thunder Domain, and purple Lightning spread out, covering a large area under the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Then, he released Xiao Wu from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Huo Lei specifically chose to release Xiao Wu from the bottom of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The moment Xiao Wu landed in a daze, Xiao Wu was directly struck by the purple Lightning on the ground. She only screamed and struggled for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground. Her entire body was charred black, and at the same time, a dazzling red Soul Ring condensed and formed above her body.
The instant Xiao Wu was released, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew back into Huo Lei's body. The entire process took only a few seconds.
Jin Shan, An Jun, Huo Feng stood not far from Huo Lei, taking in everything that was happening.
An Jun examined the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring floating in mid-air and exclaimed, "This is the easiest time I've ever seen someone obtain Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
Jin Shan gloated, "Pope Bibi Dong has really suffered a huge loss this time. Not only did she lose two Super Douluo, but she also dragged down the Golden Generation. I don't know what she's doing in the Papal Hall all day. For such an important task as capturing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she only sent two Titled Douluo. The Spirit Hall isn't short-handed; even if others didn't come along, she should have accompanied them herself. If she had sent one or two more Titled Douluo, they wouldn't have suffered such a heavy loss. However, her negligence also has its advantages; it just happened to benefit us. If it weren't for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immobilizing the two Soul Beasts, we would probably have had to pay a heavy price to deal with them."
Huo Feng stood to the side and nodded in agreement.
Just as Jin Shan and An Jun were exchanging words, Huo Lei had already sat down on the ground and begun absorbing Xiao Wu's Soul Ring. This was also Huo Lei's Eighth Soul Ring for his Flame Martial Soul.
With the blessing of the Sky Azure Bull Python Soul Ring and Soul Bone, Huo Lei's body had become extremely powerful, and absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring again was no longer a big problem. After half an hour of absorption, his Eighth Soul Ring was finally completed.
Eight Soul Rings— yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and red—slowly emerged from Huo Lei's body, circling him several times before disappearing.
Huo Lei slowly got up from the ground, stretched his body, and exhaled a long breath.
"Huo Lei, you absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring very quickly this time, taking half the time compared to last time." Huo Feng said happily as he came to Huo Lei's side. At the same time, An Jun and Jin Shan also quickly came closer.
Huo Lei looked at Huo Feng and smiled, replying, "Perhaps it's because the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone he absorbed last time enhanced his physique! So this time, the absorption was relatively easy."
"Huo Lei, you've already absorbed your Eighth Soul Ring. What level have you reached now?" An Jun asked curiously from the side.
Huo Lei smiled and replied, "The Sky Azure Bull Python's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, combined with the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring I just absorbed, have provided me with enough energy to raise my Soul Power Level to Level 86."
Jin Shan exclaimed, "You brat, your improvement speed is truly astounding! If you were to fuse with and absorb the Soul Bone produced by this girl, your Soul Power would at least reach Level 87, and might even break through to Level 88. This kind of improvement speed is unbelievable. To be able to increase your Soul Power by seven or eight levels in just one or two days, you can be considered the number one person to rapidly increase your Soul Power Level."
"Yes! She's improved even faster than that girl Shui Bing'er," An Jun chimed in.
Huo Feng urged his son, Huo Lei, "Huo Lei, there's no time to lose! Quickly extract the Soul Bone from this girl and absorb it!"
Huo Lei smiled and nodded. With a flick of his right hand, a sharp dagger appeared in his palm. He slowly walked towards Xiao Wu, who was lying on the ground, lifeless.
In just a moment, Huo Lei retrieved a Soul Bone emitting a pink glow from Xiao Wu's right arm.
Huo Lei put away Xiao Wu's body and sat cross-legged on the spot, absorbing her Right Arm Bone. This was also his third Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Jin Shan, An Jun, and Huo Feng stood in a triangle, protecting Huo Lei in the center so he could safely absorb the 100,000-year-old Right Arm Bone.
After another half hour, Huo Lei successfully absorbed and fused the 100,000-year-old Right Arm Soul Bone produced by Xiao Wu. His Soul Power Level also reached Level 88.
At the same time, to Huo Lei's surprise, his External Soul Bone, the Thunder Wings, under the continuous impact and transformation of energy, advanced in quality from the original 80,000 years to 100,000 years. It also gained an additional skill, which Huo Lei named 'Thunder Feather Myriad Blades'. Thunder Feather Myriad Blades is a powerful Lightning- attribute group attack skill.
Huo Lei's tremendous improvement in strength and obvious change in condition also drew admiration from his teacher Jin Shan, his father Huo Feng, and his friend An Jun.
Not long after, Lin Yin, who was resting, woke up and, upon learning of Huo Lei's tremendous improvement, offered his sincere blessings.
Lin Yin was not in a hurry to absorb Ghost Douluo's Right Leg Bone. After all, he had already reached level 80, and the most important thing at the moment was to find a suitable Eighth Soul Ring for himself.
Huo Lei and his group did not linger for long. After having a simple meal by the lake, they set off towards the core of the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable Eighth Soul Ring for Lin Yin.
After leaving the Core Lake of the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Lei did not release the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to protect everyone. This was because among the five of them, there were two Super Douluo, Jin Shan and An Jun; and his father, Huo Feng, a Titled Douluo; although Lin Yin had not yet attached his Eighth Soul Ring, his combat power was definitely no less than that of an ordinary Soul Douluo, after all, he already possessed four high-quality Soul Bones over ten thousand years old.
