"Let's absorb the Soul Ring first," Ye Linyuan's voice came from not far behind.
He looked at Lin Mo and the Charmander with a complicated expression, glancing at the deep yellow Soul Ring on the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon. The shock in his voice had not yet faded.
"Absorb quickly, I'll protect you."
"Um."
Lin Mo nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Ye."
Without further hesitation, he turned around and led the Charmander to the corpse of the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his condition.
The Charmander next to him followed suit and sat down next to Lin Mo, also starting to adjust its state.
This is Douluo Star, not the world of Pokémon; using Soul Skill here requires consuming Soul Power.
Even those skills not granted by Soul Ring still require a considerable amount of Soul Power to use.
Correspondingly, the greater the power of a skill, the more Soul Power it consumes.
The Charmander had previously used a combo to cleanly and decisively defeat the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon, which seemed quite exaggerated to Ye Lingling and the others.
However, this comes at a staggering cost in terms of Soul Power consumption; Lin Mo has already lost six or seven tenths of his Soul Power.
If he hadn't been able to defeat the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon under those circumstances, he would have had to start considering turning around and running away with Ye Lingling.
With the experience gained from this battle, Lin Mo increasingly looked forward to the day when he or Charmander could master a Soul Skill that could quickly restore their own condition.
Otherwise, if they use a full combo and their mana bar is empty before they've killed the opponent, then they might be the ones who die.
After a quarter of an hour of rest and recuperation, Lin Mo and the Charmander had both recovered to a near-complete state. After exchanging a glance, Lin Mo nodded to the Charmander.
Immediately, the Charmander opened its mouth wide, and under the pull of its Soul Power, it swallowed the deep yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring produced by the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon Charmander.
Soon, under the impact of the energy contained in the Soul Ring, Lin Mo also felt a slight swelling in his meridians and a slight surge of blood and qi.
But that's about all the discomfort I'll experience.
Even though it was Soul Ring produced by Subdragon Soul Beast, an eight-hundred-year-old Soul Ring did not exceed his limit.
However, a question arose in Lin Mo's mind: Wasn't this supposed to be absorbing Soul Ring? How did Bloodline Power get mixed in?
On the other side, Ye Linyuan, who was protecting Lin Mo, was stunned when he saw the Charmander open its mouth and Swallow the Soul Ring.
He subconsciously muttered to himself, "Normally, isn't it the Soul Master's main body that absorbs the Soul Ring? How come Lin Mo's Charmander ate the Soul Ring instead?"
After a moment of silence, Ye Lingling offered her guess, "Perhaps this is the special feature of External Beast Martial Soul. After all, aren't Soul Ring always attached to the Martial Soul itself?"
After all, normal Beast Martial Soul appear in the form of possession, so it is the Soul Master who absorbs the Soul Ring.
"Oh, you silly girl."
Ye Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Lingling and shook his head helplessly.
This is completely unlike his previous personality.
Previously, Ye Lingling would never meddle in other people's affairs; she always acted indifferent to everything.
Now that this has happened, Ye Linyuan is quite gratified.
For some reason, Lin Mo, who was diligently absorbing the Soul Ring, subconsciously shivered, as if something bad was about to happen.
What Ye Lingling and Ye Linyuan didn't expect was that Lin Mo would take so long to absorb the Soul Ring this time.
It wasn't until evening, when the sky gradually darkened, that Lin Mo and the Charmander seemed to finish absorbing the Soul Ring.
This was the first time Ye Linyuan, Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, had encountered such a situation. Normally, it would take a quasi- Soul Grandmaster no more than an hour to absorb their Second Soul Ring.
Even Soul Ring that's close to its maximum age shouldn't take more than half a day to absorb.
Unless the absorption of the Soul Ring fails after a long and drawn-out process, it is impossible for such a long time to be wasted.
However, judging from the steadily increasing aura emanating from Lin Mo and the Charmander, it didn't seem like a failed absorption at all.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan, as Eight-Ring Soul Douluo Nine Heart Begonia possessing the rare Life-type healing-type Martial Soul, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, is inherently very sensitive to the Life of Soul Master.
Lin Mo's original Life, or rather his blood and qi, was already far richer than that of Soul Master of the same level. However, after absorbing this Soul Ring, the strength of his blood and qi seemed to have increased significantly.
This puzzled Ye Linyuan. Although the Charmander had absorbed the blood and qi attribute Soul Ring provided by the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon, its own attribute should have been Fire-type.
Furthermore, given the unique nature of External Beast Martial Soul, it shouldn't have bestowed such strong blood and qi upon Lin Mo.
Moreover, during the entire process of absorbing the Soul Ring, Lin Mo's blood and qi seemed to have undergone a slight qualitative change.
The quality is also much better than before.
Lin Mo slowly stood up, but the excitement of absorbing the Soul Ring and breaking through his cultivation level was quickly replaced by a new doubt.
He subconsciously reached for his heart—his Body Martial Soul seemed to have undergone some new changes.
Before Lin Mo could figure out the changes in himself, Ye Lingling's voice came from the side, interrupting his thoughts.
What Soul Skill did you acquire?
Ye Lingling asked bluntly, "Although this Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon didn't last long in Charmander's hands, its strength is still quite good."
Its Soul Ring should also provide you with a pretty good Soul Skill!
"Hmm, the Soul Skill is indeed quite impressive."
Lin Mo nodded, no longer hiding the smile on his face, then looked down at the Charmander beside him, " The Second Soul Skill that the Charmander obtained is called Dragon Dance."
"This is an amplification-type Soul Skill. Judging from its effect, it should be derived from the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon's Burning Blood Boil talent ability. After using the Soul Skill, it can amplify the Charmander's own attack and speed."
The Charmander beside it also let out a low roar in perfect harmony, and two Yellow Soul Ring slowly appeared under its feet one after the other, with the Second Soul Ring suddenly lighting up.
A layer of blood energy, similar to that seen when the Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon used its innate ability, immediately appeared on the surface of its body, but this Charmander it was mostly flames.
With the enhancement of its Soul Skill, the aura emitted by the Charmander was significantly stronger than before.
Judging from the intensity of the aura alone, it even surpasses the boost that Charmander received when it used Flame Body and Flame Charge once against Scarlet Blood Lesser Dragon.
After all, he had already absorbed the Second Soul Ring, resulting in a significant improvement in his basic stats.
