Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Among the Spirits
After about ten minutes, Ye Wen made sure there was no ambush nearby and the old six-soul beast said to Ah Yin.
"Excuse me, Ah Yin."
Ah Yin raised his hand to summon his martial spirit, and his first spirit ring lit up. The first soul ability, Entanglement, was exactly the same as Tang San's. The blue silver grass in his hand formed dozens of meters of vines, lifting the Green Pouch Beast on the ground into the air and slowly pulling it.
In addition, Ah Yin also carefully wrapped the head of the Green Pouch Beast to prevent the blood from falling on the ground and being discovered by those spirit beasts that are sensitive to the smell of blood.
Seeing this scene, Ye Wen had to admire the power of the super martial spirit. The control range of the first soul ability is so large that I fear ordinary soul masters can't even get close and would be bound to the ground, left to be slaughtered.
But Ye Wen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Yu Xiaogang's theory is simply harmful. Tang San's ability to absorb spirit beasts similar to plants to enhance the strength of his Blue Silver Grass is more useful than absorbing the so-called ultimate spirit ring of the Mandala Snake. The venom of the Mandala Snake mentioned in the early stage was not even relevant in the future. How can a low-energy ability be considered the core of the development of a martial spirit in the early stage of cultivation? His theory is complete nonsense."
"The first soul ability is to bind and tie people, and the second soul ability is also to tie people. At most, it can catch the enemy off guard, but good reflexes can avoid this. The fourth soul ability, Blue Silver Cage, can only be used against fragile opponents. When Tang San awakens the Blue Silver Emperor lineage, these abilities remain practically the same. The core of Tang San's battle was never his two martial spirits, but the self-created soul skills he learned and the Xuantian Treasure Record, which he later abandoned. Watching him play with the Poseidon Trident was really disappointing. His two main martial spirits were turned into useless trash by him. He only used them occasionally to increase his sense of presence, a simple matter of creating a whip technique. If you are afraid of a whip that exceeds the speed of sound, even a god may leave some traces on you."
Looking at the green pouch beast dragged by Ah Yin, Ye Wen carefully identified it and found four horns. The lengths are exactly the same, which means that the green pouch beast has exactly 400 years of cultivation, stuck at the watershed of 423 years according to Yu Xiaogang's extreme soul ring absorption theory.
Ye Wen secretly sighed in his heart for being very lucky. Just as he was about to ask Ah Yin to pay attention to protect him and start absorbing the soul ring, Ah Yin asked worriedly.
"Brother, do you have to absorb the soul ring of a useless soul beast like the Green Pouch Beast? I really can't think of any good soul ability it can provide you. Is decision-making a soul ability that is very important for the future development of a soul master? Should we find other soul beasts?"
Ye Wen was stunned for a moment. If others asked, he would definitely not answer, but with the sister he gets along with day and night ~
Ye Wen explained to dispel Ah Yin's concerns. "Ah Yin, although you consider soul beasts like the Green Pouch Beast useless, believing they have no special abilities besides regurgitating to save their lives, every race of surviving soul beasts possesses unique characteristics. My martial soul does not follow the direction of an offensive soul master, so I focus on developing other aspects.
According to my research, the regurgitation abilities of the Green Pouch Beast are not as simple as they seem. The Green Pouch Beast eats ordinary blue silver grass, but what it regurgitates can confuse other spirit beasts. The vitality of Blue Silver Grass causes other spirit beasts to divert their attention to the ruminants with strong vitality. These ruminants are actually false spirit grass, and the stomach of the Green Pouch Beast has life-like abilities.
This is exactly what I need. You know my martial soul, Nabu, has a space attribute weapon that can store dead objects. What you may not know is that there are storage soul guides on this continent capable of storing living creatures. My goal in obtaining the soul ring of the Green Pouch Beast is to give my martial soul the ability to store living creatures through the life attribute abilities of this beast.
"So that's it, Brother, you are really experienced. Go ahead, absorb it quickly. I'm a little anxious about the transformation of your martial soul."
Ye Wen said nothing more. He summoned a huge black cloth about one square meter and held it in his hand. He used his mind to pull the yellow soul ring in front of him.
In an instant, the soul ring was enveloped by Ye Wen's martial spirit. Ye Wen felt a wave of heat coming from the martial spirit in his body. Every cell in his body was jumping for joy, as if something was squeezing into his body. "This energy is very similar to soul power, but there is a subtle difference, as if it is mixed with other things. I still can't fully analyze this energy. However, the principle of soul ring absorption is clear: the energy of the soul ring is absorbed by the body, but this power will not be controlled by the soul master and will flow spontaneously. If the soul master's body can endure, it will merge, but if it can't, it will explode and die. It's like pulling an elastic band: as long as the force applied is within a certain limit, the elastic band won't break; but if it exceeds that limit, the body won't withstand it and will collapse, leading to death. Without considering the impact of a ten-thousand-year soul ring, a physically fit soul master can endure a soul ring of up to nine thousand years on the fourth ring.
Before coming here, I tested my body and found I could lift up to 600 kilograms and run 100 meters in 5 seconds. However, these data cannot be used as a basic reference. If there were Contra-level soul masters around me who could use their soul power to pressure me, I might develop a better theory on soul ring absorption. At the moment, I can easily absorb four-hundred-year soul rings. If the pressure were at least half the energy of the soul ring, I would suffer. Based on the current situation, I estimate I can absorb soul rings up to six hundred years, which would be a small loss.
However, ordinary soul masters do not rely solely on physical strength to absorb soul rings. It seems my soul power is not useful now. Is the soul ring too old? The reference is still insufficient, but the physical limit has some value for soul ring absorption."
After a while, Ye Wen slowly opened his eyes.
"The first soul ability, Life, alters the nature of the spatial attribute of my martial soul, allowing it to accommodate living creatures. The martial soul instinctively adjusts the internal space. If the released creature causes destructive power exceeding a certain limit, the martial soul space will be destroyed, and my vitality will be severely injured. This requires a lot of caution in the future.
Moreover, this ability is linked to the natural talent of the soul, now consuming 5% of the soul power to be maintained for a day. The storage space for living creatures generated by the soul ability can be controlled in size to reduce the consumption of soul power. My martial soul was also strengthened by the absorption of the soul rings, expanding the available space to three cubic meters," said Ye Wen joyfully.
(PS: After all, he wants to be a master of theory, and this limit is very vague in the original text, so here we use the physical resistance limit of ten-year soul beasts, which is approximately equal to ten kilograms of force. After all, physical fitness is comprehensive. It's hard to define quality, so be careful not to make big mistakes and not kill anyone.
If you want to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, you need to have a power of one hundred thousand kilograms, which is equivalent to the weight of the Poseidon Trident minus a fraction. One hundred and eight thousand kilograms is equivalent to 50 tons, which represents about half the weight of a main battle tank or a civilian aircraft. So don't think it's too exaggerated. After all, it's true. A city wall is really speechless.)
