Chapter 3: The Million-Year Soul Ring (Part 2)

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  "Ah——" Tian Meng Bing Cang, "Unfortunately, I'm still a tragic figure. Breaking through the million-year mark was a double-edged sword. Although it barely freed me from their control, my lifespan has reached its end due to the sudden heavenly punishment. If I couldn't find another way to survive, I would soon wither away and die. It was at this time that I met you, little guy. You're weak and pitiful, but I had no other choice! After all, you're also a spiritual entity. So, I could only reluctantly merge with you, no matter what. At least those bastards won't get my most precious thing."

  Listening to Tian Meng Bing Xian's account, Huo Yu Hao had long forgotten his fear and indignantly said: "They are too despicable, how can they do this, actually imprisoning you for nearly ten thousand years."

  "Of course! Although I'm a bit more handsome and stronger, they can't eat me as food! Luckily we managed to escape, didn't let them get their hands on my body. Ho Yu Hao, you may be young and not very capable, but at least you're simple-minded, so I'll consider this a training plan for you. Once you become strong in the future, you must avenge me! They rely on absorbing my soul power to evolve, right? In the future, turn them all into soul rings and soul bones, humph!"

  "Alright, I'll help you take revenge when I grow up." Huo Yuhao agreed without hesitation. The relationship between the human and the beast quickly drew closer in this strange yet wonderful story.

  Actually, this Dream Ice Silkworm has lived for a million years, but it only came into contact with a small number of soul beasts. Although its intelligence is not inferior to that of humans, how can it know the evil intentions of human hearts? If a human were in its situation, they would absolutely not easily reveal their own story to others. Choosing He Yu Hao, who was also a blank slate, was actually its good fortune.

  "Tianmeng Ge, I still don't understand. You're so powerful, yet you became my soul ring and sealed your own power. What's going on? Can you still grant me soul techniques?" After losing his fear, Huo Yuhao had more curiosity in his heart.

  Hehe, Tian Meng Bing Xuan smiled and said: "Brother, of course I have a way. I've been thinking about this for many years and already have a good plan in place. After the experience of exploding humanity before, I understand that when it comes to helping you, everything must prioritize your safety first. Now I have no retreat, if you die, it means I'll be finished too. My original soul power has been absorbed by those starry beast souls in the forest, otherwise even if I seal my own strength, you still can't withstand it. What I merged into your body is more of my source power and spiritual power. You see these ten light balls? They are the ten-layered seals I set up. From another perspective, you can also say that they are the power of the first soul ring I gave you. It's just that you can't use it for now."

  "That is to say, your first soul ring is indeed a million-year-level one, but it doesn't have the power of a million-year soul ring for now. However, as you progress in your cultivation, the power I sealed within you will gradually be unsealed, enhancing the might of this soul ring. It can even enhance the might of your future soul rings. After all, the power I accumulated over a million years is really too enormous for you."

  Huo Yu Hao blinked his eyes and said: "I still don't quite understand."

  "Idiot. Let me put it simply, your current body with the first soul ring can only withstand a four-hundred-year-old soul beast's soul ring. So, the actual power of your first soul ring is four hundred years. Later on, when you break through and can withstand a one-thousand-year-old soul beast's soul ring, your first soul ring will become one thousand years. It increases with your body's endurance. In other words, your first soul ring can evolve at any time, and the same goes for the other soul rings you'll obtain later. Of course, the evolving power I can grant you is limited. The stronger the other soul rings you acquire, the more my power will be conserved. With the power sealed within you, at most, you can have ten soul rings that can reach a level of one hundred thousand years."

  "What? So many? Can't our Soul Masters have at most only nine soul rings?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise.

  Tian Meng Bing Xuan let out a cold hum and said proudly, "That's an ordinary person. With Brother's fusion, you're no longer an ordinary person. A single martial soul can only absorb nine soul rings. But you're not a single martial soul anymore. Killing a ten-thousand-year soul beast will definitely give you a soul bone and a ten-thousand-year soul ring with two soul skills. You should know this, right?"

  Huo Yu Hao nodded slightly.

  "As the first-ever intelligent soul ring in a million years, and an unprecedented one at that, I'm naturally going to be far stronger than them. The first soul ring I'll manifest for you not only can evolve infinitely based on your physical condition but also grant you four soul techniques. However, I don't have a soul bone to give you, but I can give you an additional martial soul."

  Although Huo Yuhao had already guessed that the Million-Year Soul Ring would have a great effect on him, he didn't expect it to be so immense. A soul ring that could evolve infinitely was already astonishing enough. But an even greater surprise lay ahead. Four soul skills plus one martial soul - what kind of concept was this?

  The four soul skills, since they were all brought by the first soul ring, will undoubtedly evolve with the evolution of the first soul ring. It's an ability that can be used continuously! And adding a martial soul is simply a divine phenomenon. It's equivalent to turning him from a single martial soul into a dual martial soul genius. The added martial soul can bring at least nine additional soul rings, which means adding nine more soul skills. This kind of amplification is far beyond what the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring can compare to? Although after obtaining these amplifications, his own strength was still very weak and needed some improvement, but undoubtedly opened a door to the sky for him, giving originally mediocre and low-potential Huo Yuhao an infinite possible future.

  "The martial soul I gave you is ice, but for now it's still just soulless ice." Tian Meng Bing Xue's words pulled Huo Yuhao back from his surprise.

  "What's an ice without a soul?" Huo Yu Hao looked puzzled.

  "That means, the martial soul I granted you currently only has attributes but no form. When you absorb your first ice attribute soul ring, your martial soul will take shape. Depending on which soul beast's soul ring you absorb, that will determine what your second martial soul will be. In other words, your second martial soul will definitely be a beast martial soul. Don't worry about this for now, I've already thought it through for you. However, your current cultivation is still insufficient. When your strength increases, I'll take you to complete the ice attribute first soul ring's addition. Now do you understand why I said my power to amplify your soul rings is no longer enough? Therefore, from now on when choosing soul rings, you must be extremely cautious and listen to my opinions more often."

  Some book friends said that the protagonist's opportunities might be too great. In fact, everyone knows if they look carefully. The million-year soul ring is good, but it has many restrictions. It's like the principle of being killed by eating a thousand-year-old ginseng in one bite. Moreover, our Tianmeng brother himself is also a freak who can't fight...

  So, take your time and see. I've always tried to be reasonable when writing books. You can guess what kind of skills Tian Meng Bing Xian gave to Xiao Yu Hao.
