Chapter 92: A Bit of a Stretch

Chapter 92: A Bit of a Stretch

Upon seeing the red light emanating from Xiao Wu, Wang Si's lips curled up slightly.

So she wanted to make an exchange?

Wang Si was well aware of why Xiao Wu would readily agree to the sacrifice. Because she intended to use the powerful energy generated from the sacrifice to burst him from within.

In a situation where escape was impossible, a desperate attempt at an exchange seemed like a reasonable choice. Yet, Xiao Wu's simplicity was almost endearing.

The reason Wang Si had come to the Binguo Liangyi Eye was, of course, due to his anticipation of Xiao Wu's move.

The red energy quickly formed a bridge connecting Xiao Wu and Wang Si. Realizing that Xiao Wu was about to commence the sacrifice, Wang Si wasted no time and leaped into the Binguo Liangyi Eye.

Not long after Wang Si entered the eye, Alan followed suit.

Seeing Xiao Wu enveloped in the red glow as she prepared for the sacrifice, Alan couldn't help but sigh.

He never expected that in his lifetime, he would witness the sacrifice of another soul beast. However, Wang Si had called him here for a purpose beyond mere spectatorship.

With a wave of his hand, a soul bone flew out from Alan's body, instantly transforming him from a physical entity into a soul entity.

Xiao Wu's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she gazed at the soul bone floating towards Wang Si. It was a 100,000-year soul bone!

"How do you have a 100,000-year soul bone?!"

Sensing the attribute of the soul bone, Xiao Wu's defenses crumbled. Incredulously, it was a life-attribute soul bone!

With this turn of events, her plan to "burst" Wang Si from within was thwarted, and she had every reason to be flustered.

Once initiated, the sacrifice of a 100,000-year soul beast could not be stopped. Xiao Wu could only stare intently at Wang Si.

She watched as the 100,000-year soul bone floated towards Wang Si and swiftly merged into his body, with no apparent absorption process.

This scene left Xiao Wu dumbfounded.

It was then that she realized that the soul bone had come from Alan's body, which led her to wonder, what exactly was Alan?

Soon after, Xiao Wu detected two relatively powerful auras emerging from the two-colored lake before her.

Xiao Wu felt a soul-deep pressure, and her body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

They were two dragon souls!

The emergence of the two dragon souls seemed somewhat reluctant, but they willingly coiled around Wang Si's arms. Then, two soul bones appeared from within the Binguo Liangyi Eye.

Wang Si grasped the soul bones with his hands and began to cultivate his technique, accepting the soul power transmitted to him by Xiao Wu.

Level fifty!

The dense red light erupted, signifying the commencement of the sacrifice.

The illusory Xiao Wu gazed at the five soul rings that had appeared around Wang Si and began to question her existence.

However, what truly made her doubt her life choices was her current state: she wasn't dead, and it seemed like she had become that guy's soul spirit, forced to depend on him to survive.

With a 100,000-year soul bone, two dragon king soul bones, and an incredibly powerful body, Xiao Wu was perplexed. Just what kind of monster was this guy?

After absorbing Xiao Wu's right arm bone, Wang Si opened his eyes.

Xiao Wu's sacrifice had directly increased his soul power to level fifty-six, and with the absorption of a soul bone, it had reached level fifty-eight.

In less than a year since obtaining the Lan Yinhuang soul bone, Wang Si's soul power had skyrocketed by over ten levels.

Such a massive increase had left Wang Si's foundation somewhat unstable.

To adapt to his current realm, Wang Si removed the fifth soul ring, reverting to level fifty.

His physical strength remained unchanged, and his total soul power had not diminished; only his level was suppressed.

"Hey, who are you, and what's going on with me now? Also, how did you remove the fifth soul ring?!"

Witnessing the end of Wang Si's absorption process, Xiao Wu stared at him curiously, her eyes wide.

Hearing Xiao Wu's incessant chatter the moment he opened his eyes, Wang Si felt irritated. He promptly stored Xiao Wu away in his soul spirit space.

Two soul bones soon flew out from Wang Si's body—one belonging to Xiao Wu and the other to Alan.

"Master, why don't you show us your 100,000-year soul skill? Are you keeping it as a trump card?"

Zhu Ming's curiosity was understandable, given that it was an innate 100,000-year soul ring.

There was still a gap between it and the 100,000-year soul rings he had upgraded himself.

Hearing Zhu Ming's question about his 100,000-year soul skill, Wang Si took a deep breath and turned to A Lan.

"Soul beasts' soul skills aren't randomly generated, are they?"

At that moment, A Lan was sensing the changes in his body, as Wang Si's breakthrough had resulted in an increase in the dragon aura within him.

Being Wang Si's soul bone, the Lan Yinhuang soul bone inevitably benefited from this as well.

Since the soul bone was a part of A Lan's body, he became slightly stronger.

Hearing Wang Si's question, A Lan seemed to realize something: there was likely an issue with Wang Si's 100,000-year soul skill.

Glancing at the 100,000-year soul bone of the Softboned Rabbit, A Lan guessed the reason and provided an explanation.

"The soul skills obtained from hunting soul beasts are not entirely random and are influenced by three factors.

First, the soul master's martial soul that absorbs the soul ring, as the soul ring needs to be released through the martial soul as a medium.

Second, the intentions of the soul beast providing the soul ring. After all, the soul ring grants the soul master the abilities that originally belonged to the soul beast, and if the martial soul is compatible, the soul beast may be able to influence the soul skill with its will.

The prerequisite is that the soul beast possesses high spiritual intelligence and an extremely deep obsession to affect the soul skill.

And the third factor is the soul master's will. If the soul master's willpower is stronger than that of the soul beast, they are more likely to obtain powerful soul skills.

Soul beasts of the 10,000-year level and above have high spiritual intelligence, and when absorbing their soul rings, the soul master will endure a spiritual impact from the soul beast, which intends to impart some negative soul skills.

If the soul master cannot withstand this spiritual impact, they will end up with a useless soul skill."

After providing this explanation, A Lan noticed the intriguing expression on Wang Si's face, leaving him unsure of what Wang Si was thinking.

However, he added, "Regardless of the type of soul ring obtained, the first thing to do is to adapt it to the martial soul. With your strong martial soul, the soul skill you acquired should also be powerful... right?"

A strong martial soul? Not a chance!

Wang Si's martial soul was bones. Bones produced blood, and blood produced flesh, which was why his martial soul now appeared so formidable.

But that rabbit, what was it called... Softboned Rabbit.

Soft bones!!!

Wang Si's bones had been transformed by the powers of solar, frostfire, and the Twin Dragon Kings.

While it couldn't be described as "soft," that unscrupulous rabbit had added a new attribute: "Charm."

A 100,000-year charm skill!!!

Wang Si's defenses were truly shattered!

"Cough, cough, so, did your strong mental fortitude and unique mental cultivation technique spare you from such a skill?"

With Xiao Wu's meager mental fortitude, A Lan didn't think Wang Si would be affected by that level of spiritual impact.

Speaking of spiritual impact, Wang Si furrowed his brows and turned to A Lan.

"Did I experience any spiritual impact when I absorbed you?"

Hearing Wang Si's question, A Lan stroked his chin and shook his head.

"I'm not sure. My consciousness was actually dormant, and I only woke up after arriving in the soul spirit space."

Upon hearing this, Wang Si coldly huffed, "I never experienced any spiritual impact when absorbing soul rings!"

Spiritual impact? What was that? With his mental fortitude, his system would absorb any spiritual impact as soul energy.

Now he understood why his second soul skill and original fourth soul skill were the way they were...
