Spirit Abyss True Art

[I've included both styles. I wonder which one you prefer.]

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on acquiring the Douluo SR-ranked goddess Tang Ya. You have received the Spirit Abyss True Art."

Spirit Abyss True Art: Legend tells of an immortal named Spirit Abyss who contemplated the spiritual essence of heaven and earth within the secluded Spirit Abyss Cave Abode. After countless years, he created the Spirit Abyss True Art. This cultivation method centers on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Practitioners can gradually condense spirit essence and convert their soul power into spirit power, ultimately reaching the supreme realm of unity with heaven and earth.

Note: The energy level of spirit power is approximately five times that of soul power.

Three hours later, Tian Chen held the completely naked Tang Ya in his arms, gazing contentedly at the reward the system had sent him.

Tang Ya was still nestled lazily against Tian Chen, her eyes half-closed as she looked at the few plum blossoms staining the bedsheet, a satisfied smile on her face.

She could feel the warmth radiating from Tian Chen, and it made her feel utterly secure.

She gently raised her head to look at his profile. His resolute features looked especially captivating in the soft light.

"Xiao Chen, I want kisses and cuddles!"

Tang Ya's voice held a hint of languor, but it was also brimming with sweetness.

Tian Chen chuckled softly and held her a little tighter. "All right!"

As Tang Ya offered her red lips to him, he lowered his head slightly and gently pressed his lips to hers, responding to her affection with tenderness and care.

Only after a long while did they slowly part. Tang Ya braced her hands against the bed, trying to get up.

But the moment she moved, she let out a hiss. Her brows knitted slightly, and a trace of pain crossed her face.

Tian Chen immediately noticed something was wrong and asked anxiously, "Are you all right? It's my fault for being too rough yesterday."

Although Tian Chen had tried his best to be gentle yesterday, Tang Ya was only a Soul Ancestor. How could she withstand the ravages of the blood emperor body? Lasting an entire morning had already pushed her to her limit.

"I'm fine! It's just a little pain," Tang Ya said with a smile.

He sighed softly, got up to sit at the edge of the bed, and took her hand. "Yaya, here. Let me heal you."

A flicker of shyness crossed Tang Ya's face, but she quickly composed herself and slowly spread her legs, letting Tian Chen treat her.

Tian Chen forced a drop of blood from his fingertip. It hovered in the air, radiating a faint green-gold glow.

Then Tang Ya felt warmth spread through her body, as though a gentle force were soothing her pain.

Before long, she felt the pain vanish completely.

Tang Ya stretched gently, a relaxed smile appearing on her face.

She had no desire to investigate how Tian Chen had done it. As long as he stayed by her side, that was enough.

Seeing that Tang Ya had regained her energy, Tian Chen said softly, "Yaya, get up if you're feeling better. Are you hungry? I'll prepare lunch for you."

Only then did Tang Ya remember that she had yet to eat lunch. But she did not want to get up so soon, so she held out her slender, delicate hands and said alluringly, "Hubby, hold me. Hubby, hold me."

Tian Chen could hardly resist her seductive manner. He stood, walked to the bedside, and gently took her hands, smiling as he said, "All right, I'll carry you."

He carefully lifted her into his arms, his movements gentle and cautious for fear of hurting her.

With her lovely face so close to his, he leaned in and kissed her.

Tang Ya did not resist, quietly resting against his chest.

She also reminded him, "Um... put the bedsheet away."

Tian Chen paused briefly, glanced down at the plum-blossom stain on the sheet, and nodded before putting it into his Soul Tool.

Only then did Tang Ya nod in satisfaction.

After getting dressed, Tang Ya took Tian Chen's arm and carefully made her way downstairs.

After they bought food and enjoyed a lovely lunch, Tang Ya leaned against Tian Chen's chest.

Then Tian Chen said, "Ya, your soul power has broken through level 40 now. How about I give you a present?"

A hint of delighted surprise appeared in Tang Ya's eyes. "Really? What kind of present?"

Tian Chen smiled without answering. He opened his hand, and a white Soul Ring appeared in his palm.

Shock crossed Tang Ya's face. "That's a Soul Ring! How... Xiao Chen, how can you store a Soul Ring?"

Tian Chen smiled faintly, his eyes filled with affection. "Yaya, I knew you'd be surprised. Actually, I condensed this Soul Ring myself. The principles behind it would take a while to explain, so for now, let me help you absorb it."

Tang Ya bit her lip, tears glimmering in her eyes. "Xiao Chen, you're so good to me. I really don't know how to repay you."

Tian Chen gently patted the back of her hand and said tenderly, "Silly girl, you don't have to repay me. We're one. Everything I do is because I love you."

Tang Ya nodded, her eyes filled with love.

"Oh, right, Ya. This Soul Ring isn't quite complete yet. Infuse your martial soul origin into it now."

Without another word, Tang Ya infused her martial soul origin into it.

She now belonged to Tian Chen completely, so naturally, she trusted him unconditionally.

After receiving Tang Ya's martial soul origin, the Soul Ring gradually acquired the attributes of blue silver grass.

"Good. Leave the rest to me!" Seeing this, Tian Chen steadily channeled soul power into the Soul Ring.

Little by little, the Soul Ring changed from white to yellow, from yellow to purple, and from purple to black.

"It worked! Yaya, come absorb this Soul Ring! I created it using the characteristics of my blood emperor body and the origin of your blue silver grass, so it's the best possible match for you. As for its age, I adjusted it to the ideal level for your physical constitution."

Tang Ya paid no attention to the Soul Ring itself. All she registered was that it had been made using the blood emperor body and blue silver grass.

Worry immediately welled up in her heart. "Xiao Chen, you mean... you created this Soul Ring using your martial soul and mine?"

Tian Chen nodded.

"Xiao Chen, will doing this affect you?" Tang Ya's voice trembled slightly.

Tian Chen shook his head gently, his smile as warm as ever. "Don't worry, Ya. I only replicated the pathways of my soul power. It hasn't caused any damage to my martial soul."

Tang Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She certainly did not want her beloved to hurt himself just to help her grow stronger.

Tang Ya nodded, took a deep breath, and firmly took hold of the Soul Ring.

She could feel the tremendous power contained within it. Closing her eyes, she began to absorb it.

Thanks to her devouring attribute, the strengthening she had gained from cultivating with Tian Chen, and her existing blue silver grass origin, Tang Ya felt no discomfort during the absorption process.

As time passed, wondrous changes began taking place within Tang Ya's body. As her soul power advanced, her blue silver grass seemed to gain new vitality, becoming tougher and stronger.

Meanwhile, Tian Chen stood beside her, his gaze fixed intently on Tang Ya.

He could sense the remarkably steady energy fluctuations within her and the powerful aura she emanated.

He knew that the Soul Ring was merging with Tang Ya smoothly, and that allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

About an hour later, Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes. With delighted surprise and satisfaction on her face, she threw herself into Tian Chen's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Xiao Chen, my soul power has risen to level 41, and I've gained a useful soul skill!"

"That's wonderful, Ya. What does this soul skill do?"

"Well! My soul skill is called Blood Shaping. It lets me shape my blue silver grass into anything I want."

Tang Ya stood excitedly, waving her hands lightly through the air. Her blue silver grass rapidly grew from beneath her feet and transformed into a blood-red longsword. Its blade was incredibly sharp, exuding a fierce aura.

Then she withdrew the blue silver grass into her body and commanded it to change shape again. This time, it became an enormous shield, its surface covered in blood-red patterns.

Tian Chen watched without blinking, his eyes full of admiration. "Yaya, this soul skill really is useful!"

Tang Ya clasped Tian Chen's hand tightly, deep affection shining in her eyes. "Xiao Chen, thank you. I'm truly fortunate to have met you in my life."

The two stood quietly together, feeling each other's warmth and companionship.
