A few hours later.
Yang Yunhai followed Chang Gong'ao to a low-lying valley.
"Wow..." Before I even got closer, I could already vaguely hear the sound of running water.
"That's the green one." Chang Gong Ao slightly raised his chin forward, calling out his martial spirit as he spoke.
The next second, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, he raised the long bow, soul power surged around his body, and a long arrow condensed on the stretched bow string in the blink of an eye.
"Wha..." The fingertips loosened and the arrow was like a shooting star.
Then, he raised his hands and lowered them in one go. With just one breath, the seven stars shot in succession, like a shower of rain lashing ahead.
"Puff puff puff..." The roots sank into the roots of the green ivy a hundred steps away.
"Swiss, swish, swish..." The trembling sounds of the branches and leaves continued to sound, the soil on the ground flew up, and the vines twisted and tumbled out.
Let me go, all the vine-type soul beasts are old Yinbi... Looking at the vines that are constantly arching out from the soil on the ground, Yang Yunhai only feels his scalp numb.
The image of a person walking on the road suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was tied up by vines that suddenly jumped out and dragged away.
Seeing the attack method of the soul beast Tianqingteng for the first time, he expressed that he had gained experience.
To be on the safe side, if you encounter plant-type soul beasts in the future, you can consume them from a distance and never engage in close combat... I secretly set a flag in my heart.
Plant spirit beasts may have well-developed root systems and long-lasting vines, but few of them can move independently, which is their biggest weakness.
In addition, plant soul beasts are basically weak to thunder, which is also an advantage for him.
The same goes for fighting spirit masters. For personal safety, it's better to be an old fool... Thinking of Tang San's many methods, he added in his heart.
In the midst of his thoughts, Chang Gong'ao put down his martial spirit and said confidently: "Xiao Hai, it's okay, let's go over."
As the captain of the patrol team, no one is more familiar with the weaknesses of the soul beasts in this soul hunting forest and has more hunting experience than him.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Ao." Yang Yunhai came back to his senses immediately. Looking around, he saw that the vines were just lying on the ground and shaking. The occasional twisting and arching made them look extremely weak. Although the century-old plant-type soul beast has evolved hunting instincts, it is still far from becoming a truly intelligent creature. Normally, you have to wait until your cultivation reaches ten thousand years at least.
This is also the reason why soul shock can only be encountered by absorbing a ten thousand year soul ring.
Therefore, there is no possibility of Tian Qingteng pretending to be dead in front of him, and all actions are based on instinct.
In his thoughts, he strode closer with a spear.
Originally, Longbow Ao prepared a bow for him, but he had never practiced it before, so he chose to bring a standard long gun.
He was still pretty good at throwing spears.
Tatata, his steps were fast. When he was about six meters away, Yang Yunhai directly raised his spear and threw it out.
"Poof!" There was a sound, and the tip of the gun hit the root wound.
"Rustling..." The vines on the ground trembled feebly, then became silent, and a yellow soul ring floated out.
"It's really accurate!" Long Gong Ao secretly sighed. Yang Yunhai said before that he had practiced spears, but he still didn't believe it.
What are you doing practicing with spears when you play Blue Silver Grass?
In the midst of his thoughts, Yang Yunhai had already sat down cross-legged and summoned his martial soul to pull the soul ring.
Seeing this, Chang Gong'ao's originally calm heart couldn't help but feel anxious, and his face began to change.
He opened his eyes slightly and stared straight at Yang Yunhai, looking a little nervous.
Being pulled, the soul ring floated to Yang Yunhai's head at an extremely fast speed. Then, it quickly shrank and became the size of a golden bracelet, falling straight down to the blue silver grass martial spirit in front of the abdomen.
The next moment, Yang Yunhai's body suddenly trembled violently.
Seeing this scene, Chang Gong'ao's fists clenched almost instantly, and he murmured: "The energy of the soul ring is starting to enter the body, Xiaohai, you have to hold on!"
On the other side, it was hot, this was Yang Yunhai's first feeling. The majestic energy rushed into the body like hot magma, part of it dispersed into the limbs and eight bones, and part of it merged into the meridians, like a wild horse running wildly in the meridians.
The pain was so severe that it felt like my meridians were about to melt and burst at any moment.
Absorbing soul rings beyond a certain level is not as easy as I thought... Yang Yunhai gritted his teeth and persisted, sighing inwardly.
The thunder-inducing body forging sounds awesome, but in fact it is not as effective as imagined. The number of rainy days in Notting City is about 60-80 days a year, which is similar to the number of rainy days in the south in the previous life. As for him, he could only withstand two lightning bolts each time, and it would take about 4 days to recover. After calculating this, he can only trigger thunder 20 times a year, for a total of 40 lightnings.
The total of two and a half years is less than 100.
This doesn’t include the unexpected missed rainy days.
Although absorbing thunder attribute energy in a cultivation state is more efficient than passive absorption, based on his intuitive feeling, it just feels like that.
After all, he was just an ordinary commoner, and his parents' martial arts spirits were probably not martial spirits with thunder attributes.
Therefore, he had already guessed that his martial soul's thunder attribute should have been brought over by his soul after he was struck by lightning in his previous life.
In other words, his physical body did not inherit the bloodline of thunder-attribute martial spirits like the Thunder Hell Vine from his parents.
However, his martial soul has thunder attributes due to the thunder and lightning in his soul belt.
Therefore, his martial spirit and physical body are not a perfect fit at all, and are even somewhat incompatible. Perhaps this is the reason why his martial soul's innate soul power is extremely low.
The physical body does not have a corresponding thunder bloodline, which means that his physical body has extremely low affinity for the thunder element, and his body's innate lightning resistance is also low. In addition, the awakened blue silver herb is inherently weak.
Therefore, it can trigger thunder, but the energy it can absorb each time is pitiful. And every time it ends, the body will have sequelae and require a long time to recover.
Hey, bloodline really determines the lower limit. In the past few years, he has been building mine resistance from scratch.
As for the lightning-inducing practice that didn't kill him for so long, it was just because he also had thunder-attribute energy in his body, which was equivalent to a humanoid conductor. So the lightning strikes down, passes directly through it, and then is directed to the ground. The current that actually remains in the body is very small and cannot reach the intensity of electrocution.
In this way, the effects of improving cultivation and strengthening the body are naturally very limited.
What's more, the number of times a year gets hacked is already very small.
The original Shrek Seven Monsters at least had Yu Xiaogang to help prepare medicinal baths, but now he is a commoner with no money and no formula. Even the village chief and his family, who have multiple soul masters, can't afford this thing, let alone him?
There are no techniques either!
As for soul bones, don't even think about it.
After all, I am just an ordinary kid who has only practiced for two and a half years... Yang Yunhai sighed secretly.
If it were placed on other civilian children who did not have the means of attracting thunder to help temper their bodies, no matter how hard they exercised and exercised, it was not certain whether they would be able to withstand the so-called best age soul ring!
What's more, it's a leapfrog absorption of soul rings.
How can it be so easy for a human being to cultivate from scratch for two and a half years to leverage the cultivation of a soul beast that has lasted for more than 400 years?
But he still wants to spend several more decades on top of this, which feels outrageous now that he thinks about it.
However, if I can successfully absorb it this time, my physical foundation will not be as weak as before. In this way, even if the soul power will become more and more difficult to practice as the cultivation level increases. With this first soul ring as a foundation, it’s easier than before, right?
Thinking like this, hope bursts out in my heart.
I have endured the pain of lightning strikes for so long, am I still afraid of the energy of a soul ring that is less than 500 years old?
He immediately endured the pain and accelerated the movement of the soul power in his body.
Time passed little by little, I don’t know how long it took.
"Huh?" He felt his consciousness suddenly light up. Inexplicably, Yang Yunhai seemed to see himself immersed in a sea of flames.
In the middle of the sea of fire, a crisp and tender blue silver grass was swaying with the flames, looking very dexterous.
"Inward vision!?" Yang Yunhai suddenly remembered the original description of Tang San absorbing the first spirit ring.
Tang San also mastered the ability to look inside himself when he absorbed the first spirit ring.
Could it be that this is an ability that all soul masters who successfully obtain the first soul ring can obtain? He couldn't help but think.
Looking again, under the scorching flames, the Bluesilver Grass began to change. The originally slender branches and leaves began to lengthen and thicken, and the fine fibers inside could be vaguely glimpsed through the smooth surface. The light blue color of the entire body began to become deeper, moving towards it. Cyan blue transition.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the pale lines on the skin, which are still very clear, but they are thinner and longer than before.
Time disappeared by the seconds, and the heat on his body seemed to be gradually fading away.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.
The heat flow completely disappeared, leaving only warmth and indescribable comfort.
"Successful!" Yang Yunhai could not suppress his joy, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Successful!" Not far away, Chang Gongao showed excitement, strode forward, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Hai, congratulations! Uncle Ao knew that you would definitely succeed! Haha, I almost scared me to death just now, your skin was stretched and cracked."
"Then I'm really lucky. It does hurt during the absorption process." Yang Yunhai stood up with a smile and then bowed deeply.
"Uncle Ao, thank you. If you hadn't helped me hunt and protected me, I wouldn't have been able to obtain this soul ring."
"Haha, it's a trivial matter!" Chang Gongao's smile did not fade and he asked hurriedly: "How is it? How much has your soul power increased? What soul skills have you obtained?"
"It's a little over level 11. It shouldn't be far from breaking through to level 12." Yang Yunhai said with a smile.
Unlike Tang San, who had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he had accumulated a lot of internal energy before his martial soul awakened. After absorbing the soul ring, he showed up and directly reached level 13. He has hardly accumulated too much soul power, and his soul ring age has not exceeded many levels. He is very satisfied with this improvement.
"As for soul skills..." As he spoke, Yang Yunhai raised his right hand and summoned his martial soul. Use your soul power and flick it gently.
The next second, the branches and leaves of the Bluesilver Grass grew and stretched at an extremely fast speed, as if there were no boundaries, and turned into a blue vine, soaring straight towards a big tree 60 meters away. Then, there was a pop of contact, and it circled and climbed along the trunk of the tree like a thin snake.
After a few breaths, the tight vines had covered the tree trunk to a height of more than ten meters.
"It's so long, it's just like a real azure vine." Chang Gong'ao was surprised.
Yang Yunhai nodded, "My first soul skill is called stretching. As long as the soul power is enough, there is no limit to the length."
"Because the martial soul is from Blue Silver Grass, and the soul ring obtained is from Celestial Vine, and the age is not low, the soul power consumption is very small. In addition, the toughness is extremely good."
After finishing speaking, he clenched his fingers, grabbed the vine and pulled hard.
"Crack!" The bark of the tree cracked inch by inch, and even the strong trunk was somewhat dented.
To entangle, do you still need to rely on soul skills to show off? Isn't this a characteristic inherent in all vine-type plant soul beasts? Wouldn't my martial spirit be inherited now... If Tang San were here, he really wanted to say this now.
Obviously, Bluesilver Grass is a plant and Azure Vine is also a plant. The fit is perfect.
Therefore, after absorbing the soul ring this time, his martial soul almost perfectly inherited the excellent characteristics of Celestial Vine.
Celestial vine is known for its toughness and malleability, and is hunted by binding.
After absorbing the soul ring, the toughness is directly inherited by the martial soul, and the ductility needs to be reflected by plant growth. As for the martial soul, the martial soul needs to consume soul power to actively accelerate growth. Therefore, the malleability characteristic of Azure Vine has become an actively performed soul skill, and there is no length limit.
As for winding and binding, vines will climb around obstacles during their growth. Becoming a soul beast has evolved into an instinctive hunting method, which is deeply imprinted in the genetic code and is no different from a trait.
Therefore, his martial spirit was passively inherited.
As for Tang San, the plant-type martial soul absorbed the animal-type snake soul ring. The snake is elongated, tough and venomous, and relies on its body to wrap around the enemy to kill it. Therefore, after the soul ring is combined with the blue silver grass martial soul, similar active soul skills are produced. Moreover, because the soul ring comes from animals, and animals are not highly extensible, the initial release distance of Tang San's first soul skill is only 50 meters.
To put it simply, Tang San's martial spirit inherited the characteristics of animals, while he inherited the characteristics of plants.
As a plant, his martial spirit can easily inherit all the excellent characteristics of the azure vine, including entanglement. But Tang San couldn't do it. Snake fangs, snake scales, these characteristics that are unique to animal soul beasts and have nothing in common are impossible to think about.
Animals are animals, plants are plants, they are not the same species.
Of course, the above are all his guesses, and also his intuitive feelings after obtaining the first soul skill.
"What a strength. It seems that not only the toughness of your martial soul, but your physical strength has also increased a lot." Chang Gong Ao couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, it's a soul ring absorbed by leapfrog levels." Yang Yunhai said with a smile.
"Haha, yes." Chang Gongao laughed, then raised his eyes to the sky, and continued: "There is still some time before evening. If we hurry up, we should be able to return to the station in the evening, but there is no need to spend the night here. Let's go, we should gone back."
"Okay." Yang Yunhai nodded and followed Chang Gongao.
Time passed little by little, until late at night, the two finally returned to their station.
Have a good meal and drink, and then fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Yang Yunhai bid farewell to Chang Gong Ao, left the forest and rushed to the inn to retrieve the little yellow horse.
Get on it and start the journey back.
Ps: The protagonist chooses Azure Vine as his soul ring for a special purpose. You can take a guess first.
