The Martial Soul's Special Ability: Absorbing the First Soul Ring

"You weren't wrong, Granduncle. This was my choice, so you don't need to feel guilty."

"Oh no!"

Qing Luan Douluo's expression changed drastically. "In such a short time, Guang Yu's little finger has already been completely eroded."

"Guang Ling! This isn't the time to grieve. Hurry! Take him to the Hunting Ground and add his first Soul Ring to that Light Sword Martial Soul. Maybe it can temporarily suppress the Ice Bow Martial Soul's backfire!"

"Right! Right!"

"Little Yu Yu, let's go!"

Guang Ling Douluo immediately hoisted Guang Yu onto his back and charged out of the Awakening Hall. "Move! Everyone, get out of the way!!"

"My brother died, my nephew died... This time, I will never let my grandnephew die before my eyes too!"

While wiping away his tears, Guang Ling Douluo comforted Guang Yu. "Little Yu Yu, don't be afraid. Even if I have to brave fire and water, I won't let you die!"

Yet it seemed that he was the one who needed comforting more, and the one more afraid. "Granduncle, I believe good people will be blessed by heaven."

Guang Ling Douluo's body was icy cold, but Guang Yu's heart was warm at that moment.

Like the Heaven Dou Empire's royal Hunting Ground, Spirit Hall had its own place specially designated for capturing, detaining, and keeping soul beasts.

Whenever Spirit Hall's soul masters needed to absorb Soul Rings, they could come here to obtain them.

The only issue was that the variety was not as extensive, and there might not be a Soul Ring with the most suitable age.

Before long, Guang Ling Douluo arrived at Spirit Hall's Hunting Ground with Guang Yu on his back, while the other six Great High Priests followed close behind.

"Where is the area for Light Attribute soul beasts? Lead the way! Hurry!"

The Seven Great High Priests had gathered at the Hunting Ground.

The soul master working there had never seen such a scene before. Sweat poured down his back as he hurriedly led Guang Ling Douluo toward the section for Light Attribute soul beasts.

"Hm?"

The moment he arrived, Guang Yu sensed something unusual from the Light Sword Martial Soul.

As they passed a hundred-year soul beast, the Light Sword's reaction was mild.

When they passed a two-hundred-year soul beast, its reaction became noticeably stronger.

At three hundred years, it grew stronger still.

By the time they passed a six-hundred-year soul beast, the Light Sword seemed extremely excited.

But once they reached seven hundred years, it stopped reacting altogether.

Guang Yu seemed to have guessed something. Could the Light Sword Martial Soul's reaction indicate roughly what level of Soul Ring I can absorb?

"Good heavens, this Martial Soul actually has such a function!?"

"So that means my first Soul Ring can be six hundred years old?"

"Little Yu Yu, that Light Fang Wolf that's nearly five hundred years old is the one. Go, finish it off!"

"Granduncle, I think I can absorb that six-hundred-year Sword Light Tiger beside it."

Guang Yu suddenly pointed toward a nearby cage.

Inside was a tiger-type soul beast covered in golden fur, with a single horn growing from its head. The horn was shaped like a sword and as sharp as one.

It possessed the Light Attribute and a sword-shaped horn, so this type of tiger was called a Sword Light Tiger.

Qian Daoliu frowned upon hearing this.

Why is this kid so overambitious? Isn't a six-hundred-year Soul Ring courting death?

He warned, "Child, the Sword Light Tiger is indeed extremely suitable for your Martial Soul, but you can't handle six hundred years."

"Worship Elders, look."

Guang Yu directly released his Sword Martial Soul and pointed it at the Sword Light Tiger and several soul beasts nearby.

"This!"

From the Light Sword Martial Soul's reactions, they had guessed it as well.

"?????"

The Seven Great High Priests were stunned. "!"

"Good heavens! A Martial Soul can actually have such a function!"

"Even my Six-winged Angel God-level Martial Soul doesn't have that ability!"

"Ahem." Qian Daoliu coughed awkwardly. "Child, if you can handle six hundred years, hurry and absorb it."

"Mm."

Guang Yu nodded.

He first looked at the fingers of his left hand. All five fingers had been completely eroded by ice.

It had even begun spreading toward his palm.

Is it spreading this quickly? At this rate of backfire, I'll certainly die within three days. Guang Yu took a deep breath and slowly walked toward the Sword Light Tiger.

Then he cut it down with a single sword strike.

Squelch~

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing his first Soul Ring.

A yellow Soul Ring rose from the Sword Light Tiger's body.

Then it descended onto Guang Yu.

He instantly felt a huge surge of energy enter his body. It was not difficult at all; he seemed to digest the Soul Ring's energy with ease.

In the end, it was added to the Light Sword Martial Soul.

Guang Yu's Soul Power also broke through from Innate Full Soul Power Rank 10 to Rank 13.

His Soul Power rose by three ranks in a row.

He could clearly sense that after the Light Sword Martial Soul gained a Soul Ring, the two Martial Soul powers within his body, which had originally balanced and restrained each other, began to tilt.

The Light Sword had become stronger than the Ice Bow.

Thus, it suppressed the Ice Bow.

The Martial Soul Backfire on his left arm also slowed considerably.

"It worked!"

Guang Ling Douluo excitedly grabbed Qing Yuan's arm as she stood beside him.

Qing Luan also breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Guang Ling's shoulder.

Qian Daoliu instructed, "Guang Yu, now channel the Light Attribute power of that Sword Martial Soul within your body and try to suppress the Ice Bow Martial Soul. Keep your focus."

"Yes, Great Enshrined!"

Guang Yu closed his eyes again.

He focused and mobilized the Light Attribute power, trying to make the Sword Martial Soul's power envelop, bind, and compress the Ice Bow.

A few minutes later, his left eye and left arm no longer hurt.

The extreme ice's erosion of his body also came to a halt.

"Success! It's temporarily suppressed!"

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Qian Daoliu nodded to himself at the sight. Turning his back to everyone, he said, "Guang Ling, take this child to the Worship Hall."

With that, he took the lead and left.

The Worship Elders followed behind him.

"Little Yu Yu, get up. Let's go to the Worship Hall too."

"Mm."

Guang Ling helped Guang Yu to his feet, and the two left together.

Along the way, Guang Ling Douluo asked, "What is your first Soul Skill?"

"Granduncle, my first Soul Skill is called Aurora Seven Star Slash. It's a powerful attack skill that lets me slash the enemy seven times along the path of a seven-pointed star. Each slash is stronger than the last. Once the first slash is unleashed, it cannot be interrupted. The enemy can only defend or evade."

"Ho, not bad, Little Yu Yu."

"Mm, I suppose it's decent." Guang Yu smiled.

As they talked, they arrived before the gates of the Worship Hall.

Although he belonged to Guang Ling Douluo's lineage, he had never entered the Worship Hall before.

More precisely, he had never been qualified to enter.

As the gates slowly opened, a sacred aura rushed toward him.

Guang Yu stepped inside, looking around the surroundings along the way with anticipation and curiosity.

Angel statues stood everywhere within.

Yet only the angel statue in the main hall radiated golden brilliance and a sacred aura.

Qian Daoliu stood before the angel statue. Though his tone was calm, it carried a sacred majesty. "Although you have suppressed the Martial Soul Backfire, it is only temporary."

"Perhaps in a day, a week, or a month, the extreme ice will erode your body again."

"So until you have completely suppressed the Martial Soul Backfire, you must never use that Ice Bow Martial Soul."

"Do you understand?"
