#61 - Second absorption

Unlike Quan Yi, who was eager to try, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er exchanged glances, both with unease and worry in their eyes.

Nine hundred years, and a soul beast as innately powerful as the Darkflame Elephant, made the absorption process more difficult than that of an ordinary thousand-year soul beast.

"Xiao Yi, how is it? Are you sure you're okay?" Su Ling'er asked Quan Yi for confirmation one last time.

"I'm sure."

Quan Yi's eyes didn't waver in the slightest, filled with confidence.

During the entire year at the academy, Quan Yi put in countless hours of sweat and spent a fortune in gold soul coins.

But all of these things were not in vain, but together built up Quan Yi's body; a powerful body, bringing Quan Yi unlimited confidence.

"Alright."

Su Ling'er got up, ready to hunt the Darkflame Elephant. As a fire-attribute soul beast, a fire-attribute soul master had more advantages.

The Darkflame Elephant in the distance didn't foresee the approaching danger, leisurely resting in its own territory.

Aside from its dark red skin color, the Darkflame Elephant's appearance was more ferocious than the elephants of the previous world, and its massive size, far beyond imagination, contained immense power, making people shrink back.

However, the most threatening thing about the Darkflame Elephant wasn't its powerful strength, but the dangerous dark flames contained within its body.

Darkflame was the Darkflame Elephant's innate ability, a scorching black flame with adhesive properties, which could be sprayed from the Darkflame Elephant's trunk.

Once attached by the dark flames, the fire would quickly spread throughout the body.

What made it even more difficult to deal with was that the Darkflame Elephant's skin was a very good fireproof material. Relying on its skin, the Darkflame Elephant could wantonly use flames to sweep away all enemies approaching it.

In the black flame domain, only the Darkflame Elephant could be safe and sound.

Powerful strength and troublesome flames established the Darkflame Elephant's position as overlord in this soul beast forest.

However, the Darkflame Elephant's racial talent was useless in the face of absolute strength.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Flame Lion's Roar."

A swift lion's roar transformed into a powerful sonic wave, rushing towards the Darkflame Elephant.

The speed of the sonic wave far exceeded the Darkflame Elephant's reaction speed. Caught off guard, the Darkflame Elephant instantly fell into a state of unconsciousness under the impact of the sonic wave.

"Bang."

The huge body could only fall powerlessly at this moment.

"Xiao Yi, hurry," Su Ling'er urged anxiously.

This was an excellent opportunity created by Su Ling'er. Under Quan Yue's escort, Quan Yi quickly approached the Darkflame Elephant.

Approaching the Darkflame Elephant, it felt like a prehistoric behemoth, with a wild aura rushing towards him.

As he got closer to the Darkflame Elephant, Quan Yi noticed blood flowing from the Darkflame Elephant's ears.

Its eardrums might have been shattered.

Terrifying.

This kind of wide-range sonic attack was unreasonable. Even Quan Yi couldn't find a way to resist it.

How pitiful, its thick skin and flesh couldn't play any role under the sonic attack.

Even though the Darkflame Elephant had fallen, its tough skin and thick flesh made Quan Yi feel like he didn't know where to start.

However, Quan Yi recalled the scene of dealing with the Exploding Rhino.

"Bang!"

A heavy explosion came from the Darkflame Elephant's brain, but unlike the expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, the thick, tough skin blocked the internal explosion of the Rhino's Imprint.

In a moment, a spot of light emerged from the Darkflame Elephant's corpse, then condensed into a deep yellow soul ring.

Seeing the soul ring appear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If Quan Yi were to hunt this kind of large soul beast alone, it would definitely take a lot of effort.

But with Su Ling'er's help, he could obtain the soul ring effortlessly.

"There's still time, adjust your condition first," Quan Yue didn't let Quan Yi immediately absorb the soul ring.

Limit soul ring absorption was an extremely dangerous behavior, and Quan Yi was not in perfect condition right now.

Quan Yi immediately sat down cross-legged, recovering his soul power through meditation.

Half an hour later, Quan Yi slowly opened his eyes, his condition now at its most perfect.

Quan Yi looked deeply at the Darkflame Elephant's soul ring. The nine-hundred-year soul ring was different in color from ordinary yellow soul rings. The deep yellow halo was mixed with purple, and the majestic energy contained within could be felt from the soul ring's fluctuations.

Quan Yi turned to look at his parents.

"I'm ready."

Su Ling'er and Quan Yue nodded heavily, released their martial souls, and began to be vigilant about everything around them.

"Don't worry, we're here, no one will disturb you."

The presence of Quan Yue and Su Ling'er gave Quan Yi unlimited security.

Everything was ready.

Quan Yi summoned his martial soul and used his martial soul to attract the soul ring.

At the moment when the soul ring came into contact with the martial soul, a huge amount of soul power rushed recklessly into Quan Yi's body.

The long-lost feeling of swelling and pain swept through his body, his skin turned red, and his veins bulged, showing how much pain Quan Yi was enduring.

However, the most difficult part of limit absorption was not the momentary impact, but the long-term pain.

The over-year soul ring brought a huge amount of soul power, so Quan Yi had to endure a long period of pain.

This was inevitable, and Quan Yi was prepared for it.

With the experience of the previous time, Quan Yi was mentally prepared this time.

Quan Yi concentrated his mind on the external soul power, and then Quan Li controlled the runaway soul power to run according to the trajectory Quan Yi wanted.

Soul Power Cultivation Method.

This was different from the first absorption. Before, Quan Yi could only rely on feeling, driving a large amount of soul power blindly in his body.

But this time, Quan Yi had his own created soul power operation method.

This could more efficiently absorb the soul power of the soul ring.

Beside Quan Yi, Su Ling'er was responsible for guarding the surroundings, while Quan Yue was responsible for observing and recording Quan Yi's situation.

Time was slowly passing, and the powerful impact of soul power began to be slowly tamed by Quan Yi's will. When it reached a certain critical point, the soul power had completely lost its impact.

What remained was to absorb it step by step.

Quan Yi's condition calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This also relieved the two people's worries.

The Soul Power Cultivation Method played an unexpected role in this soul ring absorption, which was to speed up the absorption of the soul ring.

Although the effect was still very weak now, Quan Yi could continue to improve it. After the improvement, Quan Yi could also pass this method on to future generations. Quan Yi believed that after generations of efforts, it would definitely increase the family's heritage.

The sky was dim, and four hours had passed.

Quan Yi opened his closed eyes.

Second soul ring, successfully absorbed.

"I succeeded."

Su Ling'er and Quan Yue couldn't help but walk towards Quan Yi and hug him tightly.

"That's great."

Although Quan Yi was the one who absorbed the soul ring, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er's hearts were also suffering the same torment.

Cuddled in the arms of the two, Quan Yi understood that the pain he endured was worth it.

"Father, Mother, I won't die so easily."
