Still Another Enhancement Spirit Skill? Three Levels at Once! Spirit Bone Skill: Abyssal Ice Taotie Claw!

Tuoba Tingxue sat cross-legged on the profound ice. She pressed the Taotie Right Arm Bone against her right arm and slowly channeled soul power into it.

Deep blue light immediately enveloped her.

A fierce aura of devouring began to merge deeply with her martial soul.

Meanwhile, Yin Changqing turned toward the Blizzard Light Dragon lying limp on the ground.

Sensing the Light Saint Dragon and Dark Sacred Dragon within Yin Changqing, the Blizzard Light Dragon showed utter fear and submission in its enormous eyes.

The absolute suppression of the dragon bloodline left it unable to muster the slightest will to resist, even against a twelve-year-old boy.

Dugu Bo watched Yin Changqing draw his sword and approach the Blizzard Light Dragon. He could not help asking Yin Yu and Tuoba Xi again:

"Brother Yin, Sect Master, have you two really thought this through?

Changqing is only a Level 50 Soul King candidate. By the rules of the Soul Master World, the theoretical limit for a fifth soul ring is only around twelve thousand years.

This Blizzard Light Dragon is a full sixty-five thousand years old!

That's more than five times the limit!"

Tuoba Xi stroked his beard and smiled.

"Old Poison, you haven't seen enough of the world.

Why would the rules for ordinary soul masters apply to the peerless prodigy of our Holy Dragon Sect?

Changqing absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at Level 40. Now his meridians are broad as rivers, and his bones are as hard as fine gold.

Giving him an ordinary soul ring barely over ten thousand years old would be a waste."

Yin Yu stared at his son's back and said gravely:

"Old Poison, you didn't see how Changqing's body changed after he absorbed the Whale Rubber.

At Level 40, his physical strength was already enough to drive back a Level 64 Soul Emperor head-on.

Now he's reached the threshold of Level 50, with the bloodlines of two supreme sacred dragons protecting him.

The energy of sixty-five thousand years may be violent, but it won't rupture his meridians."

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue and sighed.

"What a family of monsters.

A twelve-year-old Soul King candidate at Level 50, and now he's about to gain a sixty-five-thousand-year black soul ring.

If word gets back to Heaven Dou City, Emperor Xue Ye might fall off his throne. Those pontiffs and priests at Spirit Hall won't be sleeping either."

At that, Yin Yu and Tuoba Xi exchanged a glance. Embarrassment flickered across their faces.

Had they still not told Dugu Bo about the Holy Dragon Sect's relationship with Spirit Hall?

Dugu Bo and Yue Guan were sworn enemies.

And now that Dugu Bo had joined the Holy Dragon Sect, he was on the same side as Yue Guan?

Under their watchful eyes, Yin Changqing gave the Blizzard Light Dragon a swift death.

A pitch-black soul ring slowly rose from the dragon's corpse.

Calm and composed, Yin Changqing sat cross-legged before it. With a beckoning motion of his right hand, his Light Saint Dragon martial soul suddenly manifested!

Roar!

The dragon's cry rang out. Beneath the Light Saint Dragon appeared four soul rings: yellow, purple, purple, and black.

Yin Changqing then used his soul power to draw the Blizzard Light Dragon's soul ring over himself.

Boom!

Ferocious dragon power surged through every inch of Yin Changqing's body.

The Blizzard Light Dragon's lingering soul tried to rampage through his sea of consciousness.

But the instant it entered, Yin Changqing's spiritual power and the supreme will of his Twin Sacred Dragons crushed it to dust!

Vast soul power thundered through Yin Changqing's broad, resilient meridians like a raging flood.

At the same time, the system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind, right on cue:

[Host detected absorbing fifth soul ring (age: 65,000 years; attributes: light/dragonkind/ice enhancement).]

[Exclusive system mechanism triggered: choose two of four spirit skills (this time, you may select two passive percentage-based enhancement skills to retain).]

[Option 1: Holy Dragon Radiance (passive enhancement: increases the entire team's light-attribute effects by 80%; your own light-based attacks deal an additional 80% holy burning and purification damage).]

[Option 2: Holy Dragon Overlord Body (passive enhancement: increases strength by 80% and physical penetration by 80%; attacks gain an absolute armor-breaking effect).]

[Option 3: Holy Dragon Dominion (passive enhancement: increases all defensive attributes by 80%; forcibly reduces physical and energy damage received by 40%).]

[Option 4: Holy Dragon Skystride (passive enhancement: increases movement and attack speed by 80%; grants 80% resistance to abnormal statuses and an 80% chance to evade displacement effects).]

More enhancements!

Yin Changqing was shocked—and a little delighted.

Some of his earlier enhancement spirit skills were not even as strong as Dai Mubai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

But he had plenty of them!

And now his fifth soul ring had yielded enhancement spirit skills again?

The effects were decent, too.

And all of them were passive!

With so many enhancement spirit skills stacked together, how could his spirit skills not be powerful?

Yin Changqing scanned the four percentage-based enhancements in his sea of consciousness.

From my first four soul rings, I've already gained Sacred Dragon Body (50% to all attributes), Light Power (50% to attack and light effects),

Sacred Dragon Might (60% to strength and physical bursts), Holy Dragon Golden Armor (60% to defense and resistance to abnormal statuses),

Holy Dragon Light Wings (70% to movement and attack speed, plus light-wing slashes), and Holy Dragon Spring (70% to soul power recovery and self-healing). That's six enhancements in all.

And my fourth spirit skill has an enhancement effect of its own.

Yin Changqing quickly made his decision.

As soul power levels rise, enemies' defense and resistance will only grow stronger. Extreme penetration and armor breaking are the key to killing foes above my level.

And Radiance's powerful purification and damage boost will push the Light Saint Dragon's suppressive power to its limit.

"System, I choose option one, Holy Dragon Radiance, and option two, Holy Dragon Overlord Body!"

[Ding! Selection confirmed. Skills generating. Percentage-based enhancement attributes have been permanently integrated into the host's body and martial soul essence!]

With the system's confirmation, the massive black soul ring circling outside abruptly contracted.

It became Yin Changqing's fifth soul ring, settling firmly around him!

Boom!

A mighty wave of soul power erupted from Yin Changqing, blasting the profound ice around the abyss—several yards thick—into powder!

Level 51!

Level 52!

Level 53!

Yin Changqing's Soul Power Level soared without pause, finally settling at the peak of Level 53!

On the other side, the dark blue light surrounding Tuoba Tingxue gradually faded.

The eighty-eight-thousand-year Abyssal Ice Taotie Python Right Arm Bone had fully fused with her right arm. Ripples of deep earth power and devouring energy pulsed around it.

Tuoba Tingxue's soul power aura was rising too, but without a ninth soul ring, her level remained at Level 90.

Tuoba Tingxue opened her eyes first, looking radiant.

"Ting Xue, how do you feel?"

Tuoba Xi asked at once, concern in his voice.

Tuoba Tingxue rose and lightly clenched her right hand. A dull sonic boom sounded in the air.

"Father, this Right Arm Bone has not only greatly strengthened my body, but also granted me an exceptionally powerful spirit bone skill:

Abyssal Ice Taotie Claw!

Abyssal Ice Taotie Claw can pierce defenses, tear through targets, and devour them. Its power rivals the ninth spirit skills of many Titled Douluo!"
