Qian Daoliu arrived outside Fang Yuan's residence, sensed the situation inside, and immediately sent a private voice transmission to Golden Crocodile and the others.
"Everyone, stop."
"It's all right. Xiao Xue is using divine power to help Little Yuan transform. Don't disturb them."
Hearing this, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and the others stood guard outside with Qian Daoliu, sensing the situation inside while conversing through private voice transmissions.
Meanwhile, inside the room.
Little Bibi Dong was guarding the door. Noticing what seemed to be some movement outside, she immediately grew nervous.
Just as she was thinking of checking who it was, Qian Daoliu's voice rang in her ears.
"Dong'er, it's us. Don't be nervous."
Hearing the familiar voice, Bibi Dong realized it was Grandpa Qian Daoliu and the others, and relaxed.
Still, she had no intention of opening the door. After all, Fang Yuan seemed to be at a critical moment. What if she made a noise and disturbed him?
Bibi Dong was worrying too much. Fang Yuan could not have been doing better, his entire body enveloped in angel divine power.
Held in Angel Qian Renxue's embrace, he felt warmth enveloping both his body and mind.
His physical strength and spiritual power kept rising until they reached a certain threshold, and a soul ring began condensing around him.
It was white at first, then rapidly turned yellow, then swiftly changed to purple. Its color continued deepening, only slowing once it turned black, though it was still growing darker.
Little Bibi Dong, guarding the door, witnessed the entire process, her lips slightly parted and her expression stunned.
Is that... a soul ring!?
Looking at the soul ring beneath the winged cocoon of light, Bibi Dong's eyes widened in disbelief. She raised a hand to cover her mouth, afraid of making a sound.
A black soul ring... I remember that means a ten thousand year soul ring, right? But how is that possible?
A ten thousand year soul ring as his very first ring?
Bibi Dong felt that the scene before her eyes was completely different from everything she had learned. She could not make sense of it.
Qian Daoliu and the others guarding outside the door also sensed what was happening. Their eyes filled with delighted surprise as they excitedly conversed through private voice transmissions.
Golden Crocodile looked at Qian Daoliu excitedly. "A ten thousand year first soul ring! Big Brother, this is simply unprecedented!"
"Little Yuan has made history. Spirit Hall has a promising future!" Azure Luan was delighted as well.
Having participated in the Angel God Trial, they found nothing strange about Fang Yuan's situation and felt only joy.
Qian Daoliu waved a hand. "With Xiao Xue helping Little Yuan strengthen his body, this is perfectly normal."
When an ordinary Soul Master absorbed their first soul ring, a ring a few hundred years old was generally the limit.
But as long as a Soul Master's body was strong enough, absorbing a thousand-year soul ring was not a problem. It simply took too much time.
It was only the first soul ring. There was no need to waste cultivation time honing the body just to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.
As for a ten thousand year soul ring, that was even further out of the question. How could a level-ten Soul Scholar possibly withstand the hurdle of Soul Shock?
Fang Yuan's current situation was an exception. He was not hunting a soul beast and absorbing its soul ring in the usual way.
Qian Daoliu felt that the soul ring Fang Yuan was absorbing might not be a God-bestowed Soul Ring. But since his granddaughter was helping condense it, it should not be bad.
He simply wondered what the soul skill would be.
Inside Fang Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, Angel Qian Renxue was crafting a soul skill for him. After some thought, she asked him a question.
"Little Yuan, do you have any requirements for your soul skills?"
This little brother of hers had been clever since childhood. Perhaps he could offer some good ideas for creating soul skills as well.
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up. "Sister Xue, you mean I can design my own soul skills?"
"That's right, but the soul skills have to be reasonable." Angel Qian Renxue nodded slightly, having also seen what Fang Yuan was thinking.
"Skills that simply make you invincible and let you steamroll everything without thinking won't work. Those don't follow the rules of soul skills. I can't create them."
Fang Yuan felt a little disappointed at her words. He had thought he could make conceptual soul skills, but on further reflection, it made sense.
Angel Qian Renxue had only her divine soul left. Even a complete First-Level God could not create something like a conceptual soul skill.
Once he understood this, Fang Yuan thought briefly and soon had an idea for his first soul skill.
"Sister Xue, let's use Martial Soul Possession. I'll edit the soul skills myself."
Angel Qian Renxue did not refuse. "All right."
With a slight shift of Fang Yuan's will, the angel martial soul possessed his body, and he immediately began creating a soul skill.
This will be my first soul skill!
Sacred Protection, a sustained soul skill. Upon activation, it formed a close-fitting sacred barrier and increased all the user's attributes by two hundred percent. While active, the barrier could absorb Heaven and Earth essence and convert enemy attacks into soul power, while all attributes continued increasing with the duration of battle.
As Fang Yuan finished editing the soul skill, a gleam flashed across his first soul ring. The soul skill had been successfully created.
"It worked!?"
A hundred-year or thousand-year soul ring could not possibly support a soul skill like this, but his first soul ring was ten thousand years old.
Moreover, as a Life-Bound Soul Ring, it could grow alongside his strength. Sooner or later, it would pass one hundred thousand years, and even that was not its upper limit.
Perhaps the soul skill would grow stronger with it?
After briefly sensing it, Angel Qian Renxue fell silent at the soul skill Fang Yuan had created.
"Little Yuan, that's quite a good idea."
Why is this soul skill so underhanded?
Absorbing Heaven and Earth essence is one thing, but it can even absorb an opponent's attacks?
So once he activates Sacred Protection, any soul skills that hit him get absorbed and converted into soul power?
All attributes immediately increase by two hundred percent, and they can keep increasing the longer the battle lasts?
Wait, is this angelic?
Angel Qian Renxue felt it was far too underhanded. Her own first soul skill back then had merely been Angel Assault.
Although it likewise condensed sacred energy to attack an opponent while providing a shield around her body, it could not compare to Fang Yuan's skill at all.
"The remaining angel divine power can condense two more Life-Bound Soul Rings. You might as well create their soul skills too."
Since Fang Yuan had so many ideas, Angel Qian Renxue simply decided not to interfere with his soul skills and let him handle them himself.
As she spoke, she continued using her divine power, and Fang Yuan's second soul ring and third soul ring rapidly condensed around him.
His first soul ring was eighteen thousand years old, his second soul ring reached thirty-six thousand years, and his third soul ring was sixty-five thousand years old.
Condensing soul rings strengthened his body, so the age of the rings Fang Yuan could withstand was also increasing.
His body had also grown somewhat, making him look like a boy of twelve or thirteen.
He had no attention to spare for anything else at the moment. After a brief consideration, he edited his second soul skill and third soul skill.
Second soul skill: Holy Light Illumination.
It condensed sacred light to shine upon targets, clearing the user's negative effects and increasing all the user's attributes by one hundred percent. Those in the opposing camp suffered attacks from the illuminating rays, and all their attributes were reduced by thirty percent.
Third soul skill: Sacred Judgment.
It unleashed the Sacred Sword of Judgment, locking onto and attacking the enemy's soul. The sins they had committed in the past would turn into Karmic Fire, burning their soul until they were slain.
After finishing editing all three soul skills, Fang Yuan's soul power level shot straight to level 40!
