Farewell and Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring

In front of Godwind Academy's gates, Feng Xiaotian looked at Huo Ying once more!

[Huo Ying, looks 96, charm 97, temperament 97, overall 97, age 43, all three attributes have reached their peak!]

Huo Wu had fully recovered. Her looks had risen from 80 to 96, and her charm had also improved a little, while only her temperament remained unchanged!

He had to admit that she was the most beautiful person Feng Xiaotian had seen in the Douluo World so far!

Of course, his mother Ling Qiu was no slouch either; she too met the standard of a goddess!

The more Huo Ying looked at Feng Xiaotian, the more she liked him. "Xiaotian, thank you for everything you've done during this time! It was thanks to you that my fire poison could be cured! If you ever need our help with anything, just say the word!"

Feng Xiaotian said, "Aunt Huo, there's no need to thank me! Little Sister Huo Wu and I are good friends, after all!"

Huo Wu stood to the side, seemingly a little embarrassed, and said nothing!

Huo Ying smiled. "Xiaotian, come visit Wu'er at Blazing Fire more often when you have time!"

Feng Xiaotian glanced at Huo Wu and smiled. "All right, I'll come back to see Little Sister Huo Wu!"

Ling Qiu, standing beside Feng Xiaotian, also said, "You're all welcome to visit us at Godwind too!"

Huo Ying nodded. "Sister Ling, thank you for taking care of us during this time!"

Ling Qiu said, "No need to thank me! It was only right!"

Looking at Huo Wu as though she were her own daughter-in-law, Ling Qiu's eyes were full of affection!

After Huo Ying, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang left, Feng Xiaotian looked at the system panel!

It showed his mother Ling Qiu's information!

[Ling Qiu, looks 93, charm 93, temperament 94, overall 93, age 44, all three attributes have reached their peak!]

Although Huo Ying had left, Feng Xiaotian's supply of Wolf Warrior Coins would not be cut off!

He believed his mother Ling Qiu probably would not refuse anything he spent on her either!

Even if that failed, Feng Xiaotian still had other candidates at Godwind Academy. After all, there were still three or four ordinary goddesses at the academy with scores above 90.

For now, though, his first choice was still his mother Ling Qiu. Raising her Soul Power would be a good idea too. As for his father, Feng Qingyang, he could only use his own Wolf Warrior Coins to help him improve.

Feng Qingyang had been at level sixty-nine for almost a year without breaking through. It was time to help him do so.

Ling Qiu looked at Feng Xiaotian, who was deep in thought, and smiled. "Son, what's wrong? Can't bear to see her go?"

At that moment, Feng Xiaotian was looking through the system for medicines used to raise Soul Power at the Soul Emperor stage. Hearing his mother's words, he hurriedly said, "Mom, what's there to be reluctant about? Let's go back!"

"Then what are you thinking about, Xiaotian?" Ling Qiu asked.

Feng Xiaotian replied, "N-nothing!"

Ling Qiu continued, "Actually, that girl Huo Wu is quite nice, and she's very talented too. The two of you are a good match."

"She's all right, I guess. Mom, I'm going back to cultivate." With that, Feng Xiaotian quickly vanished from Ling Qiu's sight.

Improving Ling was clearly impossible today. After all, he had already used up today's allowance on Huo Ying. He would have to wait until tomorrow to help Ling Qiu improve.

Watching Feng Xiaotian leave, Ling Qiu smiled dotingly and murmured, "Xiaotian has changed quite a lot these past few months. He just doesn't seem as interested in Huo Wu as before, but he cultivates even harder than he used to."

Back in his room, Feng Xiaotian immediately began preparing to absorb his fourth Soul Ring.

An ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring cost 10,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, while its corresponding ordinary Soul Bone cost 100,000 Wolf Warrior Coins.

Having prepared for so long, there was no way Feng Xiaotian would settle for absorbing an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

A medium-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring cost 50,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, while a high-quality one cost 100,000. The Soul Ring absorbed would be exactly ten thousand years old; anyone who wanted more would have to pay extra.

But how could Feng Xiaotian possibly want a Soul Ring that was only exactly ten thousand years old?

After using the Dragon Tiger Body Tempering Technique for three months, his overall physical condition had improved considerably, and his spiritual power had also increased greatly. Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would be no problem at all.

Besides, a Soul Ring exchanged from the system could be absorbed perfectly. There were no resisting emotions from a Soul Beast, nor any soul attacks; it was an entirely pure Soul Ring.

A Soul Ring exchanged from the system could actually be understood as having the same effect as a God-Given Soul Ring.

After looking through the options, Feng Xiaotian finally settled his gaze on the twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring in the system.

Ordinary quality cost 20,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, medium quality cost 100,000, and high quality required 200,000.

"System, exchange for a high-quality, twenty-thousand-year wind-attribute Soul Ring."

After the exchange, Feng Xiaotian opened one hand, and a small black circular Soul Ring appeared before him.

The Soul Ring gradually rose until it was a meter above his head.

Although this was a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring, it was somewhat different from a standard Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Twenty thousand years was the limit, meaning this Soul Ring could reach a maximum age of twenty thousand years.

With a maximum, there was also a minimum.

The minimum age was ten thousand years. Between ten and twenty thousand years, it would reach the highest value the absorber was capable of absorbing.

The stronger the absorber's ability, the higher the age absorbed would be.

This arrangement existed for the absorber's safety. Even if their body was not strong enough, it would at least keep them from exploding and dying.

Of course, forcibly absorbing the energy within could still be dangerous if too much was taken in.

Twenty thousand years was also what Feng Xiaotian believed to be the limit his body could withstand. After all, his body was restricted by his level-forty Soul Power. As time went on, he increasingly felt that even the effects of his Dragon Tiger Body Tempering Technique were becoming negligible, and his physical improvement seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

He could only break through that bottleneck by raising his current Soul Power Level.

Feng Xiaotian controlled the Soul Ring above his head and sent it straight into his body, establishing a connection between his Martial Soul and the Soul Ring. Once inside, the Soul Ring immediately headed toward his Martial Soul.

The instant the Soul Ring came into contact with his Martial Soul, streams of pure energy burst from the ring and entered every part of Feng Xiaotian's body.

This energy ran wild inside Feng Xiaotian's body, so absorbing a Soul Ring was also a process of absorbing the energy within it.

The energy in a Soul Ring was divided into two halves. One half provided the Soul Master with energy to raise their Soul Power, which was why obtaining a Soul Ring could generally raise their Soul Power by one level.

This was where the danger of absorbing a Soul Ring above one's level lay: if the energy entered your body and you could not withstand it, you would explode and die.

The other half of the Soul Ring's energy remained in the ring and eventually formed the Soul Master's Soul Ring skill.

That was why absorbing a Soul Ring above one's level could raise Soul Power by an additional level or even several levels, and also one reason why the higher a Soul Ring's age, the stronger the Soul Skill it contained.

As soon as the energy appeared, Feng Xiaotian rapidly circulated his Soul Power along the route of the cultivation method "Wind."

Under his circulation, the energy also entered his dantian and was completely transformed into his own Soul Power.
