Chapter 54 Shi An's Second Soul Ring
Shi An slowly mobilized the soul power in his body and summoned his martial soul. A black rhinoceros phantom, as black as ink, appeared behind Shi An. This was Shi An's rhinoceros martial soul.
The moment the martial soul appeared, the purple soul ring seemed to sense the closeness of Shi An's martial soul, so it swayed slightly and then moved closer to Shi An's martial soul phantom.
If the martial soul and the soul ring have a high compatibility, this phenomenon will occur, and the absorption will not be too difficult. It seems that Shi An should not be in too much danger this time.
Shi Lin also sensed that Shi An had begun absorbing the soul ring, so he turned around and glanced at Shi An.
At this moment, the spirit ring had already been fitted onto Shi An's rhinoceros martial spirit, and the immense spirit power carried within the spirit ring was continuously flowing into Shi An's body.
Shi An's face instantly turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. Shi Lin could feel Shi An's body begin to tremble slightly, as if it were a balloon.
Just as Shi An's body could no longer withstand the strain, six wine Gu quietly crawled onto the acupoints on his body.
The six wine Gu correspond to six acupoints: the upper, middle, and lower dantian, as well as the Fengfu, Dazhui, and Mingmen acupoints on the Du meridian.
Once the Gu worm reaches the corresponding acupoint, it transforms into an external dantian, frantically absorbing and converting the immense soul power brought by the soul ring.
With the wine Gu relieving the pressure of the soul ring, the redness on Shi An's face gradually faded. However, it was clear that Shi An was still in great pain, and his complexion was rather unpleasant.
"The most difficult hurdle has been overcome, and there shouldn't be any problems from now on." Shi Lin let out a long sigh of relief. Shi Lin was also worried about the dangers that might arise when Shi An absorbed the thousand-year soul ring.
With the support of the six wine Gu, Shi An's pressure was greatly reduced, but the thousand-year soul ring still brought him immense pressure.
Next, Shi Lin went to the direction he was monitoring, then released the three Gu worms in his hand and returned to Shi An's side.
Now that Shi An has absorbed the soul ring, the corpse of the golden-horned rhinoceros is no longer of any use.
However, Shi Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the corpse of the golden-horned rhinoceros in front of him. This was indeed a good thing, but he couldn't use it right now!
Even with Shi An's immense strength, he couldn't break through the Golden Horned Rhinoceros's defenses, let alone the weakling Shi Lin.
To utilize the carcass of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros, they can only wait until Shi An breaks through his current level and gains sufficient strength to cut it apart.
Shi Lin shook his head and returned to the side to continue protecting Shi An. While protecting him, he took out a map and pondered what kind of spirit ring he should absorb next.
After all, there were three people traveling together, and two of them had already resolved their spirit ring issues, leaving only Shi Lin's own spirit ring issue unresolved.
Half an hour later, Shi An slowly opened his eyes, his face full of smiles.
"Young Master! Young Master! I did it!" Shi An jumped up from the ground and said excitedly to Shi Lin.
"It worked? That's great!" Shi Lin smiled happily.
Absorbing a second soul ring from a thousand years ago will greatly improve Shi An, making up for some of his shortcomings in talent and allowing him to go further on the path of a soul master.
"Brother An, what kind of soul skill did you get?" Shi Lin patted Shi An's arm and asked with a smile.
"The name of my soul skill is Heavy Armor Defense. It can use soul power to condense a suit of armor. However, my soul power level is low right now, so the shape of the armor I condense is a bit ugly. Once I break through to level 30, I will be able to condense a nice suit of armor." Shi An scratched his head sheepishly as he introduced his soul skill to Shi Lin.
"This soul skill is pretty good. By the way, Brother An, how much has your cultivation improved after absorbing the thousand-year soul ring?" Shi Lin asked Shi An.
"My soul power level has reached level 23! That's a three-level jump!" Shi An became even more excited when he heard this. With Shi An's talent, he didn't know how many years it would have taken him to jump three levels.
"Good, good. Consolidate your cultivation. Rest here tonight and leave tomorrow morning," Shi Lin said with a smile, patting Shi An on the shoulder.
"Mmm." Shi An nodded, suppressing his excitement, and sat back down on the ground to stabilize his cultivation.
Looking at Shi An, Shi Lin smiled and nodded. With Shi An around, the Shi family now had a Soul Master with relatively high combat power.
Looking at the sky, Shi Lin knew the sun was about to set. He lit a campfire, took out some dry rations and dried meat from the Thunder Jackal, heated them up, and ate them for dinner.
As the sun set, Shi An quickly completed the stabilization of his cultivation.
Shi Lin called to Lin Yu, and the three of them sat around the campfire, eating dry rations and chatting.
"Young Master, An Ge and I have already resolved our spirit ring issues. What spirit ring do you want to absorb next?" Lin Yu asked Shi Lin curiously.
"Me? I haven't decided yet. To the east, there's the kangaroo dog with spatial attributes; to the west, the white-haired fox with spiritual attributes; and to the north, the Azure Tree. My martial soul is rather special; it can absorb any kind of spirit ring, but absorbing any kind of spirit ring won't be of much help to me," Shi Lin said, scratching his head with a hint of helplessness.
Lin Yu glanced at Shi An, then said nothing.
Shi Lin's martial soul is too special. There are no soul masters of this type in the academy, which means there is no direction to learn from.
"Young Master, I think a spirit beast with the spiritual attribute might be more suitable for you," Lin Yu said to Shi Lin after thinking for a moment.
"Well, I also prefer this fox spirit beast with the spiritual attribute. Its cultivation is about eight hundred years old. With my current physical condition, plus two top-grade wine Gu and one high-grade wine Gu, although it's dangerous, I should be able to withstand it." Shi Lin stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said.
"Young Master, I'm taking a risk, but you don't need to. Uncle Fugui told me before he left that you shouldn't do anything dangerous." Shi An looked at Shi Lin with a troubled expression, but his eyes were full of determination.
It seems they absolutely will not allow Shi Lin to attempt to absorb an eight-hundred-year-old soul ring.
"Brother An, when you absorbed the thousand-year soul ring, did you feel it was dangerous?" Shi Lin asked Shi An in an annoyed tone.
"It's alright. The six wine Gu took on more than half of the soul power. Although it was a bit painful, there wasn't much danger," Shi An said to Shi Lin after thinking for a moment.
"What danger could I possibly be in?" Shi Lin said to Shi An in an annoyed tone.
"That's true." Shi An looked at Lin Yu in confusion; he was still unable to react.
"In that case, let's rest for the night. Brother An, I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you keep watch for the second half, okay?" Shi Lin turned to Shi An and said.
"No problem, young master. I can actually stay up all night," Shi An said with a simple smile.
"That won't do. Tomorrow, you two will be the main force in hunting soul beasts, so you need to be in top condition," Shi Lin said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
Keeping watch overnight wasn't too taxing on Shi Lin.
"Alright then." Shi An nodded without saying anything more. In such a trivial matter, Shi An would not argue with whatever Shi Lin said.
Lin Yu wanted to refuse, but Shi Lin glanced at her and made her swallow back the words she was about to say.
