Chapter 10: Rescue
Qi Ling led the way and rushed over to the Mandala Snake, which was still dazed.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a powerful ability! It can stun soul beasts with similar spirit powers for such a long time.
It's truly terrifying!"
"Little San! Hurry up and start from the snake's mouth and finish it off," Qi Ling instructed.
"Be careful not to get bitten by its teeth, I can't detoxify it!"
Following Qi Ling's instructions, Tang San used his dagger to stab the Mandala Snake through its softer interior.
Soon, a yellow spirit ring, signifying a century-old soul ring, floated up.
Yu Xiaogang, arriving a moment later, observed the decapitated Dragon-Singing Golden Toad with a thoughtful expression.
"Master, what are you thinking?" Qi Ling asked with a smile. "Are you impressed by the Barrett sniper rifle's power?"
"Fate has truly played a hand here! Qi Ling, this Dragon-Singing Golden Toad is perfect for you," Yu Xiaogang suddenly said.
"The first spirit ring? Mine?" Qi Ling was surprised and looked at the Golden Toad on the ground.
"Yes, the Golden Toad!" Yu Xiaogang clarified.
"The Dragon-Singing Golden Toad has a trace of dragon blood, which is ideal for your martial soul!"
"Moreover, its age and the abilities it possesses make it a perfect match for you. It's a heavenly match!"
"But, Master..." Qi Ling hesitated.
Despite its dragon blood, it was still a toad.
Was his 'Crow's Mouth' passive skill causing him to receive a toad spirit ring for his dragon martial soul?
"Hurry up, Qi Ling.
If you wait too long, this spirit ring will go to the mistress," Yu Xiaogang urged.
Qi Ling, despite his reservations, realized that the Dragon-Singing Golden Toad was indeed an ideal choice for him, aside from its racial traits.
Reluctantly, Qi Ling took up a knife and ended the Golden Toad's final struggles.
A yellow century-old soul ring appeared in the air.
Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly as he observed the spirit ring. "The color of this spirit ring..."
"Qi Ling, this spirit ring's age exceeds five hundred years, perhaps even approaching six hundred years.
While it's suitable as a second spirit ring, it might be excessive as a first one."
"It's fine, Master.
My martial soul is special enough to handle a spirit ring of this age!" Qi Ling said confidently.
"Moreover, if I am to absorb a toad's spirit ring, it should be in the most satisfying condition!"
Yu Xiaogang, seeing no way to dissuade Qi Ling and considering the unique nature of his martial soul, conceded.
So, Qi Ling and Tang San stood before their respective spirit rings.
They extended their hands and touched the rings in mid-air.
Soon, the spirit ring Qi Ling touched began to condense onto his martial soul.
He felt a unique power flowing into his body.
Contrary to Yu Xiaogang's concerns, Qi Ling did not experience great pain.
The spirit ring was absorbed smoothly and comfortably, as if it was willingly merging with him.
It was as if the spirit ring, though a lower form of life, was eager to become part of something greater.
In no time, Qi Ling completed the absorption of his first spirit ring. He stood up, feeling more powerful and revitalized than ever.
"Master, I've absorbed the spirit ring.
What about Little San?" Qi Ling asked.
"Qi Ling? You absorbed the spirit ring so quickly? The spirit of the gods and demons truly has unique traits," Yu Xiaogang said, his brow furrowed with concern.
"Little San's situation is problematic.
For some reason, he's struggling to absorb the spirit ring."
Qi Ling immediately turned to Tang San, who seemed to be struggling.
The yellowish spirit ring floated around Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, but the absorption process was slow and difficult.
Qi Ling soon realized the issue: even though the Mandala Snake was dazed, it had not been damaged, leading to strong resistance from the spirit ring.
If this continued, Tang San might face severe consequences, including confusion of spirit power or even death.
[System Alert: Tang San is in a critical situation. Please choose from the following options!]
[Option 1: Use Xuan Tian Gong to rescue Tang San. Reward: Xuan Tian Gong realm +2, Tang San's favorability +20%.
Option 2: Leave him alone. Tang San has a 30% chance of successfully absorbing the spirit ring. Reward: Tang San's favorability -20%, and loss of Xuan Tian Gong cultivation progress.]
Without hesitation, Qi Ling chose Option 1.
Not only would it improve his Xuan Tian Gong realm, but it would also increase Tang San's favorability.
As a soul master's power cannot be transferred directly, Qi Ling used the Tangmen's secret art, Xuan Tian Gong, which allows for such internal transmission due to shared ancestry.
[System Alert: Congratulations for choosing Option 1.
You have received the rewards: Tang San's favorability +20%, and Xuan Tian Gong level increased by two levels. Your current Xuan Tian Gong realm is now the third level!]
Despite Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong being only at the first realm, Qi Ling's advanced realm made it relatively easy to assist him.
Placing his hand on Tang San's shoulder, Qi Ling channeled a surge of profound Xuan Tian Gong into Tang San's body.
Tang San immediately relaxed, and his spirit power stabilized.
Tang San felt a warm and reassuring force flowing through him, familiar and comforting, as if his master was right beside him.
With this support, Tang San quickly overcame the Mandala Snake's spirit ring resistance and absorbed it successfully.
