The black, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring signified the death of the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon.
Bei Bei collapsed to the ground as if he were drained, the feeling of narrowly escaping death making his heart pound like a drum in his chest. His entire back was drenched in sweat. He looked at Ling Bai and said, with lingering fear,
"Thanks to you, Brother Ling. Otherwise, we would all have died under the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's hands."
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, especially one like the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, was far beyond what a Three-Ring Soul Master could contend with, even with the assistance of the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower and the Spirit Eye.
Ling Bai's ability to defeat it head-on was a testant to the power of the Six-Winged Angel Soul Power and his formidable combat talent.
"If it weren't for Senior Pei drawing the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's attention first, I wouldn't have been able to defeat it."
Ling Bai stepped forward and helped Bei Bei up, his tone humble, though the sincerity in his words was debatable.
"Xiao Tian, are you hurt?"
Ling Bai smiled as he asked Ning Tian.
"With you and the others around, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon wouldn't have had the chance to harm us."
Ning Tian straightened Ling Bai's rumpled clothes after the battle. Her gentle and charming smile made Wu Feng turn away, her small fists tightly clenched as she silently recited the supre truth, "A woman's revenge is never too late."
Huo Yuhao looked at Ling Bai with a complex expression.
Dread, fear, gratitude...
But he knew deep down that what he felt most was envy-envy that Ling Bai, who was about his age, possessed such extraordinary talent and terrifying combat power.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but imagine if he had such talent, whether he could avenge his mother.
"Xiao Yuhao, don't forget that your Big Brother Tianng is the only million-year Soul Ring on the continent. Your revenge will be taken care of by Big Brother Tianng in the future!"
Tianng Ice Silkworm soothed Huo Yuhao's sensitive emotions.
"Yeah, I believe you, Big Brother Tianng!"
Big Brother Tianng, Second Ice Soul Power, Shrek Academy...
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look forward to the future, where he would surely absorb any thod that would help him beco stronger at the continent's top academy!
Seeing that Ning Tian was unhard, Ling Bai slowly approached the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's corpse. Looking at the pitch-black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he fell into deep thought.
"Brother Bai, you..."
Ning Tian ran a few steps to catch up. As childhood friends, she knew Ling Bai very well and realized he was interested in this Soul Ring.
"No way, no way, no way soone would be so overconfident as to want to absorb a ten- thousand-year fourth Soul Ring! This girl advises you to give up this idea early, lest the Spirit Beast Soul Resonance bursts your body and leaves Ning Tian and to clean up the ss!" Wu Feng's words were filled with sarcasm, but a trace of concern flashed in her crimson eyes.
"Xiao Feng!"
Ning Tian glared at Wu Feng disapprovingly.
Ling Bai smiled nonchalantly, "Xiao Tian's concern is normal, but why are you suddenly so kind to , Wu Feng?"
"Pfft."
Wu Feng rolled her eyes at Ling Bai, "Who cares about your advice? I'm just worried that if you die, Ning Tian will be sad! Of course, we grew up together, so I'd be a little sad if you died."
As she spoke, Wu Feng seed to feel it was a loss of face and quickly added, "Just a little!" She extended her slender thumb and index finger to make a gesture that would drive Ling Bai's forr countryn crazy.
Ling Bai couldn't help but laugh. He understood Wu Feng as well as he understood Ning Tian. Wu Feng was proud and capricious, but she wasn't bad. She was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, which was why he often took care of her.
"Brother Ling, what Sister Wu Feng said makes sense. A ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast is a completely different concept from a thousand-year Spirit Beast. The process of absorption is vastly different."
After checking that Tang Ya's Soul Ring absorption went smoothly, Bei Bei joined the persuasion team.
After breaking through the ten-thousand-year mark, the resentnt of a Spirit Beast would hide in the Soul Ring, waiting to launch a fatal attack when the Soul Master absorbed it. This was called Soul Resonance by Soul Masters.
Only when a Soul Master broke through Level Fifty, with both their body and ntal strength mature, could they withstand Soul Resonance. In the past, Soul Masters who broke the limit and absorbed a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring too early often ended up bursting their bodies, and those who survived by chance would suffer a collapsed Spirit Sea, becoming idiots for the rest of their lives.
"Brother Bei, I believe you saw my Soul Ring configuration just now," Ling Bai said with a faint smile, "So far, every one of my Soul Rings has surpassed the theoretical Soul Ring limit in the Soul Master world.
If I rember correctly, the fourth Soul Ring of the Tang Sect's ancestor, the Ice... Sea God Tang San, was a ten-thousand-year-old cave magic spider. I am a Six-Winged Angel, inheriting the blood and pride of the Angel God. I will not accept anyone above ."
Every word Ling Bai spoke was solemn. He looked into Bei Bei's eyes without hesitation, his handso face as indifferent as a stone carving.
"Alright..."
Bei Bei was silent for a mont before finally uttering a single word.
He recalled the past of the Tang Sect and the angel lineage from ten thousand years ago. Then
he realized that perhaps Ling Bai was using this thod to tell him.
They, ultimately, could never be true friends.
"But the most important reason is..."
Ling Bai changed the subject, "I have my eye on the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's soul skills. This lowly Fire Thief won't conflict with the Six-Winged Angel, after all, the blood in
my veins can't be changed."
This statent was clearly directed at Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
"Xiao Tian, Wu Feng, help guard."
"Okay."
Ning Tian and Wu Feng couldn't persuade Ling Bai, so they trusted him as they always did.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ling Bai summoned the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's Soul Ring. The black Soul Ring floated above his head, guided by his soul power. Black energy continuously flowed from the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's Soul Ring, forming threads that drilled into Ling Bai's body. As the Soul Ring was absorbed, Ling Bai's original three Soul Rings-one yellow and two purple-gradually dimd, as if suppressed by the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.
Ling Bai's skin glowed with a black light, and his body felt like a small boat in a vast sea, at the rcy of the storm, ready to be swallowed by a massive wave at any mont. anwhile, the events in his Spirit Sea were even more urgent.
For ordinary Soul Masters, the Spirit Sea appeared as water, initially just a few drops, then transforming into a vast ocean as their soul power and cultivation grew.
But Ling Bai's Spirit Sea was different.
An endless wasteland, devoid of anything except the impenetrable darkness and unbreakable
silence. The black ground was riddled with torn marks, crisscrossing like scars. Purple-black threads hung from the sky, resembling spider webs from a distance.
Today, the Spirit Sea finally had a "guest." The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's resentnt condensed into a physical form, roaring wildly in Ling Bai's Spirit Sea!
"So this is Soul Resonance. The commotion is indeed significant."
Ling Bai stood beside a black crack, looking up at the rampaging Blazing Bone Dragon
Gryphon. His tone was calm and indifferent, showing no emotion despite the Spirit Beast's madness, as if it didn't matter that it was his own Spirit Sea.
"Young friend, you're not being fair."
Ilex's spirit form erged from the black bead, quietly landing beside Ling Bai.
