Having escaped the sweltering, suffocating Lava Canyon, the two walked briskly for several miles, completely leaving that high-temperature, dangerous area behind.
Lu Yu looked around and, after confirming that there were no traces of Soul Beast, stopped.
"Here it is. You should rest for a while. There aren't any Soul Beast around that are suitable for you to absorb Soul Ring."
Lu Fei could no longer contain his excitement and nodded repeatedly, his eyes fixed on the hot iron bucket in Lu Yu's hand.
Inside the bucket, the Scarlet Flame Fire Spirit Core, suppressed by the cold water, was still faintly hot, but it could no longer reignite its flames and could only tremble quietly.
A dozen minutes later, seeing that Lu Yu had rested enough, Lu Yu solemnly asked Lu Fei.
Are you ready?
Lu Fei took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly determined.
"Ready, bro!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed around Lu Fei, and the Fire Monkey Martial Soul instantly possessed him.
Lu Yu raised her hand and completely lifted the lid of the iron bucket.
"In a moment, just shatter the core. Remember, only the person who kills the Soul Beast can absorb its Soul Ring."
Lu Fei nodded, remembering Lu Yu's instructions.
Then Lu Yu threw the iron bucket on the ground, and the remaining boiling water and the Scarlet Flame Fire Spirit Core fell onto the grass together.
Lu Fei reacted swiftly, his Soul Power enveloping his fist as he delivered a powerful punch to the core.
Bang!
A soft cracking sound rang out, and the incredibly hard fire spirit core shattered instantly.
Then, streams of yellow Soul Power erupted from the core, converging upwards and quickly forming a Yellow Soul Ring.
Lu Yu stepped forward and placed her hands on Lu Fei's shoulders, her tone grave.
"This Soul Ring is nearly nine hundred years old, far exceeding the limit of a typical First Soul Ring, and the absorption process will be extremely painful."
"Remember, when absorbing Soul Ring, no matter how hot or painful it is, never give up! You must persevere!"
Lu Fei gritted his teeth and nodded, firmly remembering Lu Yu's instructions.
"I know! I can handle it!"
Lu Fei sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and released his Martial Soul, his Soul Power slowly contacting his Soul Ring.
The Soul Ring, suspended in mid-air, trembled slightly and slowly floated towards Lu Fei's head, covering his entire body.
Upon contact, Lu Fei's body trembled violently, his muscles tensed instantly, veins bulged on his forehead, and his clothes were instantly soaked with sweat.
The violent, scorching fire-attribute Soul Power surged like a burst dam, relentlessly assaulting Lu Fei's body.
Intense pain, burning sensation, and aching pain instantly swept through my body.
Lu Fei clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to utter a sound of pain. His eyes were closed, sweat poured down his forehead, and his face turned bright red.
Time slowly passed by, second by second.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour...
The originally violent and rampant yellow aura gradually became docile.
The Soul Power surging into Lu Fei 'Lu Fei body no longer violently impacted him, but instead gently nourished his body.
Lu Fei's tense body slowly relaxed, and the pain on his face gradually faded, replaced by a feeling of fullness and a surge of power throughout his body.
I don't know how much time passed.
boom!
A powerful surge of Soul Power erupted from Lu Fei's body, and the Soul Ring on his body flashed twice before slowly merging into Lu Fei body.
Lu Fei suddenly opened his eyes, and two streaks of crimson fire flashed from the depths of his eyes!
"Brother! I did it! I'm a Soul Master now!"
Lu Fei was overjoyed and looked at Lu Yu excitedly, his whole body filled with unprecedented power.
Lu Yu looked at her transformed younger brother and a smile appeared on her lips.
Lu Fei stood up and hugged Lu Yu tightly, tears streaming down his face. "Brother, thank you!"
Lu Yu gently patted Lu Fei's back, softly comforting him, "Alright, alright, you're my brother, why are you saying these things?"
"Let's release our Martial Soul first and see."
Lu Fei wiped away his tears and nodded. With a thought, the Fire Monkey Martial Soul appeared behind him. Unlike his previous Martial Soul, the Fire Monkey before absorbing Soul Ring only had a fireball at the end of its tail.
Now, Fire Monkey's entire tail and paws are covered in flames, making it look incredibly imposing.
"Brother, I'm level 14!" Lu Fei said with a look of surprise.
Lu Yu nodded. It was normal to gain an extra three levels of Soul Power after more than four hundred years.
"What is your Soul Skill?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
Lu Fei closed his eyes to sense it, then his eyes widened as he recalled the Great Sage's blow in the cave, which hadn't harmed the Scarlet Flame Fire Spirit at all. He never expected to obtain such a Soul Skill, but a look of disappointment appeared on Lu Fei's face.
"Brother, it seems to be a defensive Soul Skill, granting immunity to 50% physical damage and 50% Huo Mian."
Upon hearing the words " Huo Mian," Lu Yu suddenly had a sentence pop into his mind for some reason:
"What a pity! My Blue Silver Grass Huo Mian!"
Pfft!
Lu Yu immediately burst out laughing. That sentence was really annoying, especially when it was said to a fire-attribute Soul Master.
"Brother, you don't think it's good either?"
When Lu Fei saw Lu Yu laugh out loud, he thought she was mocking his Soul Skill for being weak, and his face was full of grievance!
"No, no, I wasn't mocking your Soul Skill. I just thought of something funny."
Lu Yu stepped forward and patted Lu Fei on the shoulder to comfort him, then continued speaking.
"Your Soul Skill is amazing! It grants you 50% immunity to physical damage. You won't be afraid of those Tool Martial Soul Master anymore; you can go toe-to-toe with them."
"They hit you, and you're immune to half the damage, but they don't have Huo Mian, so they have to take your flames."
In a head-on confrontation, you will definitely have the upper hand!
After listening to Lu Yu's sharing, a smile returned to Lu Fei's face.
At the same time, Lu Yu also thought of the Immortal Herb growing in Yang Spring in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well - the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
Tang San ate this stuff, and the Blue Silver Grass directly gained Huo Mian. If Lu Fei were to eat the Infernal Delicate Apricot, wouldn't Lu Fei gain 100% Huo Mian?
However, Lu Yu felt it was unnecessary. Fire-attribute Soul Master already possessed a certain degree of fire resistance; if Huo Mian were added to that, how would other fire-attribute Soul Master survive?
Lu Yu hadn't forgotten that an 800-year-old Scarlet Flame Fire Spirit would be ruined by a bucket of water. Although Lu Fei had Huo Mian, he would still be at a disadvantage when facing a water-attribute Soul Master.
Lu Yu was considering whether to give the Octagonal Frigid Ice Grass to Lu Fei so that he could gain immunity to ice and water.
However, another problem arises: eating either of these two Immortal Herb individually is poisonous, so in order to gain immunity to ice and water, Infernal Delicate Apricot has no choice but to eat them together.
Another question is, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass is of the ice-cold attribute. Will eating it really have no effect on Lu Fei?
Lu Yu sighed and shook her head. "Why think so far ahead when we haven't even seen the item yet? Let's wait until we get the real thing."
Maybe if Lu Fei's flames are hot enough, they can burn away the ice and water, then we won't have to be afraid!
"Brother, why are you shaking your head again!" Lu Fei pouted and stared at Lu Yu suspiciously.
"It's nothing, let's go back first! It's not safe to stay here any longer."
Lu Yu smiled faintly, ruffled Lu Fei's hair, and walked towards the exit with her arm around his shoulder.
