Chapter 8 The First Soul Ring (1)
"Master, where are we going to hunt for soul rings?"
It was already the second day after Shen Jianxin's martial soul awakened. Early this morning, Sword Douluo took Shen Jianxin out of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, intending to hunt for the first soul ring.
"After yesterday's test of your physical fitness and meridians' endurance, you can choose a soul ring that is around 600 years old."
"As for the type, your martial spirit is an epee, so it is best to choose the strength type and the explosive type."
"It just so happens that our sect's own soul hunting forest has a soul beast called the Explosive Ape. It is very powerful and explosive. It is most suitable to use it as your first soul ring."
For a normal ordinary soul master, the limit of the first soul ring is indeed 423 years. Yu Xiaogang, the master of the soul master world, has studied it correctly.
Because he got this data from his father, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.
After all, Titled Douluo's first soul ring is only 423 years old. Why do you ordinary people surpass Titled Douluo?
However, is a soul master such a rigid thing? The major powers obtain accurate values for their own geniuses' soul rings after careful testing.
How can you be like that master who gets a template and just fits it into it?
Hearing Sword Douluo's words, Shen Jianxin nodded: "Okay, I will listen to Master."
In fact, Shen Jianxin still wants to try his luck in the Sunset Forest. After all, there is an opportunity for the 'ice and fire eyes' to exist there.
But since Sword Douluo had already made his decision, he couldn't explain his source of information, so he could only wait for the right time to go to Sunset Forest.
With the Titled Douluo flying in the sky, Master Shen Jianxin and his apprentice quickly arrived at the Soul Hunting Forest.
Hunting a mere 600-year-old spirit beast was no more difficult for Sword Douluo than waving his hand.
When he arrived at the place, he unleashed his titled Douluo-level spiritual power to lock on the soul beast, knocked him unconscious with his wave of hands, and called it a day.
"Kenshin, this is the Bakuza that was born around 600 years ago."
"Just kill it and absorb the soul ring."
Shen Jianxin is a second-generation soul himself, and has been personally taught by Sword Douluo for half a year. Shen Jianxin has long been familiar with basic knowledge such as soul ring levels, soul beast classifications, and how to absorb soul rings.
Looking at the khaki-colored Explosive Ape in front of me, it was 3 meters long and lying on the ground like a hill (actually more like a graveyard).
Shen Jianxin nodded, summoned the Wuhun Tiger Soul Sword, and slashed the Explosive Ape's neck with the sword with red eyes.
It didn't take much effort at all, just a simple action of swinging the sword to cut down, and the thick neck of the Bakuza was severed in two with one sword.
Blood suddenly sprayed all over the ground like a fountain.
Immediately, faint yellow light spots floated out from the Explosive Ape's corpse, and then converged into a bright yellow halo with strange patterns above.
Although Shen Jianxin knew the process of soul ring condensation, this was the first time he saw the specific process with his own eyes.
Not to mention, the process of condensing the soul rings is quite beautiful and full of artistic elements, which brings the cruel beauty to the extreme.
"Jian Xin, the soul ring has been condensed and can start to be absorbed."
"Be careful. You are on the verge of your body's absorption limit. You'd rather be slow than mess up."
The first soul ring is 600 years old. To be honest, this value is indeed a bit high.
If the results of several tests hadn't been like this, Sword Douluo and the others wouldn't have dared to let Shen Jianxin absorb it blindly.
After all, Sword Douluo's own first spirit ring was less than 500 years old, while Shen Jianxin's first spirit ring was more than 100 years older than him.
This also means that Shen Jianxin's second soul ring is likely to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.
There is a little difference in the early stage, but it will be a qualitative change in the later stage.
If it weren't for a brighter future, Sword Douluo would not let Shen Jianxin take such a big risk.
You must know that the absorption of the soul ring cannot be interrupted. It is either life or death. There is no second option.
"Don't worry, Master, I am a real genius."
In order not to worry Sword Douluo, Shen Jianxin also pretended to be calm.
After all, he is not the protagonist in Douluo Continent. Absorbing soul rings to the limit is as easy as drinking water.
Look at Tang San, except for the first and second ones who were absorbed honestly, the others were absorbed across borders, and there was no danger every time.
Why? Because he is the protagonist, how could the protagonist die so easily?
He, Shen Jianxin, is just an ordinary genius time traveler with no author support behind him, so he doesn't dare to waste time.
"It's better to be careful."
Sword Douluo just emphasized with a smile and said nothing else. Everything was left in silence.
Shen Jianxin nodded, sat down cross-legged with a solemn expression, and placed the Tiger Soul Sword across his knees.
Then he releases his soul power and pulls the soul ring floating in the air.
[Come on, my first soul ring, merge with me and become the first cornerstone on my path to strength. 】
Pulled by Shen Jianxin's soul power, the 600-year-old explosive ape soul ring also slowly flew towards Shen Jianxin.
As the Explosive Ape Soul Ring approached, Shen Jianxin also felt a very strong pressure coming on.
It feels like being in deep water, with pressure from all directions everywhere and nowhere to stop it.
At this time, Shen Jianxin could only grit his teeth, cling to the Qingming Festival on the mourning platform, and use his body to resist this powerful and suffocating pressure.
"Buzz~"
At the same time, the tiger soul sword on Shen Jianxin's lap buzzed slightly, and slowly floated up in front of Shen Jianxin like a protector, sharing the pressure caused by absorbing the soul ring for him.
The moment the Tiger Soul Sword floated up, Shen Jianxin felt light all over, and half of the pressure on his body suddenly dissipated.
At this moment, Baoyuan's soul ring flew straight towards the Tiger Soul Sword and was attached to the Tiger Soul Sword's blade.
Through the connection with the Tiger Soul Sword, Shen Jianxin felt hot inside her body, and a violent energy generated out of thin air began to rage in Shen Jianxin's body.
The violent heat rushed into the body instantly, and instantly, the inside was on fire, which made Shen Jian feel miserable and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
"Jian Xin, you must hold on. No matter how the power of the soul ring impacts your body, remember to stay awake."
"Only in this way can you better control the power of the soul ring in the future."
This was the last news from the outside world that Shen Jianxin heard. The next second, Shen Jianxin's consciousness was completely immersed in the confrontation with the soul ring energy.
At this time, the tenth-level innate soul power awakened in Shen Jianxin's body has been driven to the extreme by him, desperately resisting, absorbing, and assimilating the energy of the soul ring.
However, the explosion of the Explosive Ape is not just about violent power.
The huge 600-year-old soul power was like gunpowder, exploding one after another when it collided with Shen Jianxin's soul power.
After a confrontation, Shen Jianxin had very little power to assimilate, but his innate soul power was severely depleted.
The violent power of the Explosive Ape Soul Ring grew stronger and stronger, constantly eroding the meridians in Shen Jianxin's body, and the burning pain made Shen Jianxin miserable.
Not only that, the powerful murderous aura carried by the tiger soul spirit also burst out when Shen Jianxin was distracted and began to impact his consciousness.
Seeing that his last bit of sanity was about to disappear in the double attack, Shen Jianxin remembered the 'false kendo inheritance' in his mind.
