The First Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring of the Soul Fighting Beast

Chapter 96 The First Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring of a Soul Fighting Beast

"Still, it's too bad."

The Soul Beasts who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded, as if they were seeing a god. Then they saw that the god who had easily defeated the huge dragon beast that had caused them so much suffering seemed to be very dissatisfied with this and let out a soft sigh.

This wasn't just You Chen putting on an act; that's truly what he was thinking.

The power of this move, "Wind and Cloud Movement," is definitely up to par. Judging by the age of the soul skill, it should be a level higher than the Roar of the Wind Dragon, and should reach the strength of a 30,000-year soul skill.

Furthermore, this is a complex mid-range move that unleashes both physical strength and soul power simultaneously. Since You Chen's current physical strength far exceeds his soul power level, it wouldn't be wrong to classify it as a 50,000-year soul skill.

But the biggest problem with this move is that it's too slow!

If the timing of the collision and fusion of the two fists of wind and cloud is not right, and the two soul skills cannot be perfectly fused, the advanced fusion soul skill "Wind and Cloud Movement" cannot be successfully unleashed.

A normal opponent wouldn't wait for You Chen to get into position before he could perform his perfect move. If he hadn't used the Soul-Suppressing Technique to control the Earth Fire Dragon first, it would have been almost impossible for him to successfully unleash the Wind and Cloud Movement in a fierce and high-speed battle.

This makes it far less useful than the Roar of the Wind Dragon.

You Chen snapped out of his daze and noticed that all the Soul Beasts were staring at him. He frowned, looked around at them, and then said loudly, "What are you all standing there for? Are you waiting for me to reward you? Your performance was indeed excellent. I was able to defeat this Earth Fire Dragon so easily, and you all deserve some credit. But defeating the Earth Fire Dragon only completes our main objective; it doesn't mean the mission is over! Before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, stay vigilant at all times! If we become too complacent and someone is ambushed and killed by a Soul Beast, that won't be something to laugh about!"

After saying this, everyone dispersed and, under the arrangement of their respective team leaders, began to organize security work.

You Chen turned to Ignis and rebuked her, "Ignis, the Earthfire Dragon has already been stunned by me. What are you still doing here? Now is the time for you to deliver the final blow! Do you expect me to drag it to you and hand it over to you to slaughter?"

You Chen could see that his subordinates felt ashamed of their incompetence and dared not make a move before he spoke. But in You Chen's view, they had already done a satisfactory job.

Instead of punishing her, he directly ordered Ignis to come and absorb the spirit ring, thus letting the matter drop.

"No, Chief, I'll go right away!"

Upon hearing You Chen's words, Ignis was immediately startled. She hurriedly nodded and rushed forward to deliver the final blow to the Earthfire Dragon.

Then he immediately activated the "Soul Power Borrowing Technique" and began absorbing the black ten-thousand-year-old soul ring.

The commotion caused by hunting the Earthfire Dragon naturally attracted many soul beasts, and just as Ignis was absorbing the soul ring, many soul beasts also wandered over.

You Chen remained motionless, observing Ignis's changes and protecting her, leaving the task of expelling the soul beasts to the other soul beasts.

You Chen was very confident in "Borrowing Soul Power", but scientific research always involves bold speculation and careful verification.

The ten-thousand-year spirit ring is a huge leap compared to the previous spirit rings. Before specific testing, You Chen cannot say for sure that there will be no problems.

The limit for the fourth ring of a Soul Master in the new era is between 10,000 and 11,000 years, and this Soul Ring is not only produced by a top-tier Soul Beast, but also has a lifespan of up to 12,000 years.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly in the end.

With the help of the "Soul Power Borrowing Technique", Ignis's soul power strength was temporarily increased to level 42 when she absorbed the soul ring. As her soul power level increased, the absorption process, which was originally somewhat difficult, became smooth instantly.

After all, the lifespan of this soul ring is still a thousand years away from the maximum lifespan that You Chen calculated for the fourth ring after Ignis activated the "Borrowing Soul Power Technique".

Half an hour later, Ignis opened her eyes. From the not-yet-fully-stabilized soul power fluctuations, it was clear that Ignis had reached level 45!

It appears that absorbing the soul ring increased his level by 5, but in reality, he only increased his level by 3.

At 15 years old and level 45, this speed is comparable to Tang San in the original novel.

You Chen smiled with satisfaction and asked, "How was it?"

Ignis sensed the change in herself, and even her usually aloof face showed a hint of joy.

"Leader, I feel... excellent! As expected of the spirit rings you chose for me, the compatibility is probably over 90%, and I can feel a significant improvement in my martial spirit. As for the spirit skill I gained, it's called 'Red Dragon Battle Body,' an amplification-type spirit skill that enhances both strength and defense!"

As she spoke, Ignis activated her spirit ring directly. With her spirit attached to her body, the dark red dragon scales seemed to have lava flowing within them... Her posture was extremely similar to the explosive mode that the Earth Fire Dragon had previously gone berserk!

You Chen nodded: "A ten-thousand-year-level amplification-type soul skill won't be outdated even when used by a Title Douluo. However, that's not all."

He reached in and pulled out a dark red soul bone.

"This is the torso bone dropped by the earth fire dragon. Since it is the same soul ring and soul bone of the same soul beast, it is naturally the most suitable."

"this……"

Ignis shook her head solemnly: "It's too precious! This hunt wasn't done by me alone. With my current achievements, I absolutely cannot exchange them for this soul bone!"

Looking at Ignis's serious expression, You Chen couldn't help but chuckle, teasing, "Don't forget, after absorbing this spirit ring, you'll be the first 'Dragon Head'! Even if this spirit bone is incredibly valuable... you can just use that 'wish,' right? Or are you really willing to just let go of this spirit bone that's so perfectly suited to you?"

"Well……"

Ignis looked conflicted, lost in thought, before muttering to herself as if in a daze, "I want it so badly... or rather, I absolutely don't want to let it go. But I can't use my one and only 'wish' on something like this... but accumulating enough merit to exchange for a top-tier soul beast's ten-thousand-year soul bone would take at least ten years..."

Snapped!

You Chen clapped his hands suddenly, startling Ignis and bringing her back to her senses.

While Ignis was still in shock, You Chen had already stuffed the soul bone into her arms, saying in an unquestionable tone, "As the leader, I won't force you to use your 'wish.' As for this soul bone, with your speed of accumulating merits and your ranking, you'll definitely be the first to exchange for it. In that case, absorb it first, and then work hard for me to repay this debt as soon as possible!"

"But……"

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think! I'm the leader! That's the decision!"

"Hmm... okay."

Under You Chen's insistence, Ignis finally blushed and accepted the soul bone.

The absorption certainly wasn't done in one place, but the soul bone skill obtained after the absorption wasn't too unexpected.

The Soul Bone Skill "Red Dragon Battle Mark" is a buff skill that increases speed and all-around resistance. When used simultaneously with "Red Dragon Battle Body," both Soul Skills receive additional bonuses.

After absorbing this ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, Ignis's strength had already taken a step closer to the Soul Emperor level.

(In the original novel, absorbing soul bones sometimes increased one's level and sometimes didn't, and the level increase was completely uneven according to the age of the soul bone, giving the impression that it was all done arbitrarily. This book simply doesn't increase soul power level at all.)
