#144 - Absorbing a 20,000-year soul ring

If Quan Yi hadn't approached the Dragon Flame Beast, and if his attack hadn't accidentally hit the hard scales, he wouldn't have been able to achieve a one-hit kill.

Besides the power of his soul skill, Quan Yi also needed to seize the right timing and opportunity.

"What kind of soul skill is this?"

Behind Quan Yi, Quan Li, who was guarding him, appeared beside him.

Because it smelled the terrifying aura of the soul beast overlord—the Dragon Flame Beast.

However, at the same moment it smelled the aura, it also realized that the soul beast overlord seemed to be dead.

The cunning Alpha Wolf immediately commanded the pack to stop.

It used its keen sense of smell to investigate.

With its sense of smell, it also detected the scent of two humans.

One had a slightly weaker aura, and the other had an aura that felt unremarkable.

After a moment of consideration, unable to resist the temptation of the roasted meat and the Dragon Flame Beast's corpse, the Alpha Wolf decided to take over this area.

Under the Alpha Wolf's leadership, the halted pack once again charged towards Quan Yi and the others.

"As expected, the strong ones come faster. These weaker ones can only follow behind the strong and eat leftovers."

Quan Li looked disdainfully at the pack of wolves.

"Xiao Yi, wait for me for a moment, I'll go disperse them."

He stepped on the hard dragon scales, shattering them.

Relying on his powerful physical strength, he directly leaped down from the towering corpse.

Quan Li's figure descended from the sky, accurately landing on the Alpha Wolf.

"Crack."

"Bang!"

First, there was a loud sound of bones breaking, followed by the sound of the earth being crushed.

In the blink of an eye, Quan Li had shattered the Alpha Wolf's skull.

The Alpha Wolf fell.

Quan Li stood up from the Alpha Wolf's corpse, his hands covered in jet-black gauntlets, and behind him appeared eight soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.

From his small frame, he exuded a powerful aura far surpassing that of the Dragon Flame Beast.

The wolf pack was swept by Quan Li's aura, fear flashing in their eyes. They didn't even bother to avenge the Alpha Wolf, and fled in panic in all directions.

This was the Soul Douluo known as Iron Fist, Quan Li.

Soul power level: eighty-fifth level.

He could crush the skull of an eight-thousand-year-old soul beast with just his physical strength.

"So strong."

This was the first time Quan Yi had seen Quan Li become serious.

But even so, this was only the tip of the iceberg of a Soul Douluo expert.

But even this corner made Quan Yi yearn for it.

After dispersing the beast tide, Quan Li quickly returned to Quan Yi's side.

"Alright, leave the rest to me. You just need to relax and absorb the soul ring."

Quan Li's seriousness gave Quan Yi an unprecedented sense of security.

"Okay."

Quan Yi sat down cross-legged.

From the Heart of the Blazing Sun, he took out a small gourd.

This was Azure Bamboo Brew.

In three months, Quan Yi's mental power had reached the limit of what it could grow to at this stage.

The number of mental entities had reached an astonishing six.

Although the number of mental entities cannot be directly equated with mental power, Quan Yi could not have achieved six-way multitasking without mental power several times greater than ordinary people.

The effect of Azure Bamboo Brew had reached its limit, but drinking it had a significant effect on maintaining high mental energy.

Absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, no matter how cautious, was not an overstatement.

After taking a sip of Azure Bamboo Brew, Quan Yi adjusted his mental state to its best.

Then, Quan Yi summoned his martial soul and reached out to guide the soul ring over.

Ten-thousand-year soul ring.

An unprecedented sense of weight emanated from the soul ring.

"So this is a ten-thousand-year-level soul ring?"

The moment he touched it, Quan Yi could feel the difference between it and a thousand-year-level soul ring.

However, even so, Quan Yi was very confident.

Through the limit test, Quan Yi could confirm that his physical strength could completely withstand this ten-thousand-year soul ring.

"Then I'll start."

After Quan Yi said this, he began to absorb the soul ring.

Under the guidance of his consciousness, the black soul ring quickly shrunk and slipped onto the gauntlet.

The energy of the soul ring poured into Quan Yi's body.

From the beginning, the absorption of soul power was accompanied by a strong sense of pain.

This was a swelling sensation from the meridians, a kind of pain that Quan Yi was familiar with.

At the same time, Quan Yi suppressed the pain and circulated his soul power cultivation method.

Even though the energy of the Dragon Flame Beast was like the sea, with no bottom in sight.

However, Quan Yi had prepared for this.

He had long been prepared for a long battle.

His powerful mental power began to orderly control the vast energy to circulate orderly in his body.

Quan Yi's soul power cultivation method had undergone earth-shattering changes in the past three months.

Due to the opening of the hidden meridians, Quan Yi had greatly modified the soul power cultivation method around it.

Experiments showed that the new soul power cultivation method achieved a 50% increase in soul power improvement speed.

That is to say, even in a barren land, Quan Yi could produce a cultivation effect similar to a simulated cultivation environment during cultivation.

Moreover, the new cultivation method made Quan Yi's soul power more refined than before.

The effect of the Governor Vessel was to enhance Yang energy, regulate the five internal organs, and have an extremely strong enhancement effect on the spine, waist, kidneys, and other aspects.

Among them, the effect of enhancing Yang energy had an extremely good benefit to Quan Yi's fire-attributed soul power.

It was the meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians that was of the greatest benefit to Quan Yi.

The huge soul ring energy poured into Quan Yi's body, but as long as this thick energy passed through his long Governor Vessel.

A large portion of the thick energy would disappear.

It was clear that Quan Yi had not absorbed it, but the meridian had automatically absorbed the soul power into it.

Seeing that the hidden meridian had such an effect, Quan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to the effect of the hidden meridian, the difficulty of absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring was reduced by several points.

Quan Yi separated a mental entity and began to explore the anomalies in the meridians.

The meridians were stretched, and soul power continuously poured into the body. This was a crisis, but also an opportunity.

Quan Yi recalled the feeling during the limit test and began to search for other hidden meridians.

For the fourth soul skill, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, Quan Yi was likely not the first on the continent.

However, there would definitely not be many who had spare strength like Quan Yi.

Gradual progress and thorough preparation had allowed Quan Yi to grow to this point.

All the previous hardships seemed to be blooming and bearing fruit at this moment.

Five or six hours had passed in the outside world.

Day turned into night.

Quan Li stood motionless behind Quan Yi, watching him.

Just as Quan Li discovered that Quan Yi's aura had begun to gradually calm down, he relaxed a lot.

The most dangerous moment had passed, and all that remained was to absorb the remaining soul power step by step.

Quan Yi also had the same idea.

Just as both of them were relieved, an accident bit the relaxed two hard.

Quan Yi's body began to tremble violently.

"What's going on? Wasn't the energy tending towards calm?"

Quan Yi's condition made Quan Li's heart sink to the bottom.
