Defeating the Vine King, Absorbing the Soul Ring

"First Soul Skill, Black Silk Binding Life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Blue Silver Emperor burst from the ground, vying with the Vine King for the pure energy.

At the same time, Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around the calves of several Imperial Fighting Team members, infusing them with life force.

The team members were shocked, thinking another Soul Beast had attacked.

But when they felt the life force and the shared perception, they finally noticed Tang Yin standing at the edge of the cliff.

Tang Yin shouted, "Its roots are underground! Force it out!"

Yu Tianheng blasted through a layer of earth, and Tang Yin's Blue Silver Emperor pushed deeper.

Just like that, the Vine King's clustered roots were forced out.

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng shouted, "Finish it in one go! Thunderous Might!"

Only Ye Lingling, sensing a stirring in her Martial Soul, stood somewhat dazed.

Tang Yin was dumbstruck. He hadn't withdrawn his Soul Skill yet.

Arcs of lightning flowed over the green vines. They neither blackened nor broke apart-instead, the emerald light on the vines was illuminated by the lightning, shining dazzlingly bright. Lightning and vine were actually blending together.

It was truly unexpected.

Even a thousand-year Soul Beast couldn't withstand the group fighting it in turns while its energy was being absorbed.

As the Vine King neared death, Tang Yin roared, "Move!"

Tang Yin pressed close to the Vine King, and the firearm in his hand erupted.

With a tremendous bang, a gaping hole appeared in the Vine King's main vine, and blood-red sap flowed out.

A purple Soul Ring emerged.

"Who exactly are you, and where are you from?"

A face with a clear, bright appearance appeared before Tang Yin.

It was Qin Ming. Tang Yin had never noticed him.

"Greetings, Imperial Fighting Team leader. I just applied to graduate early, and I don't belong to any school or sect now."

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow. The boy certainly knew a fair bit. "Did you come here to absorb a Soul Ring this time?"

"That's right."

Yu Tianheng proposed standing guard for Tang Yin to repay him for his help.

The moment the Soul Ring entered his body, the entire world fell silent to Tang Yin's senses.

Blue Silver vines wrapped around the thousand-year Soul Ring, purple tinged with emerald. The instant the emerald and purple lights touched, they blended and surged, transforming into a warm, almost scalding force that poured along the vines into his meridians. There was none of the tearing pain an ordinary Soul Master felt when absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring-he had personally purified this Vine King, and the life force remaining in its Soul Ring recognized him.

Soul Power flowed like streams joining a river, breaking through the level-twenty barrier.

Tang Yin appeared to be stabilizing his cultivation, but he was actually checking the system.

Host: Tang Yin

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor

Bloodline: 70% Blue Silver Emperor, 30% ordinary Soul Master

Soul Power: 21

Soul Rings: 999-year Blue Silver Grass; 1,020-year Blood-Patterned Vine King

Effect: Seed of Life

Seed of Life?

Puzzled, Tang Yin looked inside himself.

He found a seed on the right side of his chest, constantly infusing him with life force.

At least it wasn't a bad thing, and his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline had activated to a greater degree.

Right, there's also the cultivation reward.

"Blue Silver Emperor cultivation successful. Reward: Martial Soul Avatar Armor."

Martial Soul Avatar Armor was a feature everyone had in the comic. It gave a certain boost to combat power, and most importantly, it looked cool! Tang Yin slowly opened his eyes, a flash of emerald light flickering through his blue-silver pupils. The Second Soul Ring emerged around the vine in his palm-a deep purple ring with vibrant emerald light flowing over it. His second Soul Skill awakened with it, like a seed breaking through the soil deep in his consciousness: Life Returning to Origin. Healing and purification, two sides of the same coin.

Level twenty-one, Soul Grandmaster.

Yu Tianheng watched with a complicated expression. This youth, a full several levels below him, had refined a nearly thousand-year Soul Ring into his second ring right before his eyes-as effortlessly as eating and drinking.

"Rogue cultivator," he said, his voice a little dry, "what's your name?"

"Tang Yin."

The others were still shocked that Tang Yin had broken the theoretical limit for absorbing Soul Rings when Qin Ming asked, "You... how old are you now?"

"Eight."

Eight years old! He already had such strength, but this Martial Soul...

Before Qin Ming could speak, Ye Lingling asked, "What is your Martial Soul? It actually made mine resonate!"
