Douluo, Qingmei Qianrenxue, Opening with Soul Ring Changing to Soul Vein 21

Chapter 21: The Second Soul Core

Although he hadn’t told the other two that his second soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring, Lin Feng’s companions, already aware of the effects of the divine herbs, didn’t show excessive surprise at his ability to absorb such a powerful soul ring.

“Now? Little Feng, you’ve just absorbed a soul ring, you don’t need to rush things,” Qian Renxue frowned, her concern for Lin Feng having increased significantly after yesterday’s events. “Shouldn’t you first stabilize your cultivation and familiarize yourself with the soul ring before attempting this?”

Ling Yuan recalled the scene of Lin Feng forming his first soul core, and pursed her lips. “No, Little Feng, there’s no healing soul master here right now. What if something goes wrong? Last time, you didn’t have any extra soul power to heal yourself after you succeeded.”

Lin Feng grinned, “Don’t worry too much, I’ve already mastered my second soul skill, Earthfire Surge!”

Suddenly, scorching flames spread again, but this time, the instant the flames began to appear on the surface, Lin Feng condensed them in his palm.

“Soul skill secondary transformation!”

Ling Yuan’s expression shifted, her mouth slightly agape in amazement.

Qian Renxue’s beautiful eyes widened, her gaze filled with delight. “I knew it! Little Feng isn’t just a simple support soul master. The intensity of this soul skill far surpasses the abilities of a powerful attack-type great soul master!”

Ling Yuan frowned, “If that’s the case, how should we choose Little Feng’s future development path? You know, broad abilities often prevent one from reaching the peak of strength.”

“Sister Ling Yuan, don’t forget that soul masters fight using soul skills. Little Feng’s second soul skill can be used as two separate soul skills. Concentrated for a powerful attack, dispersed for control, and its intensity is top-tier. In my opinion, Little Feng’s martial spirit is definitely a top-tier martial spirit, as can be seen from the effects of his two soul skills. There’s absolutely no need to worry about Little Feng’s future development.”

Ling Yuan paused, then slowly nodded, “That’s reasonable. As long as there’s no rejection from the martial spirit during soul ring absorption, it means the soul ring is indeed suitable for Little Feng. This is a characteristic of the martial spirit.”

Lin Feng smiled slightly, a flame flickering at his fingertip, “How about it? How’s my control over my suddenly increased cultivation and soul skills?”

Ling Yuan rolled her eyes at Lin Feng, reproaching him, “You’re showing off.”

Lin Feng shrugged, “I can’t help it, I’m just that outstanding. Life is lonely as snow. Sister Ling Yuan, if you’re still worried, you can go outside and find a healing soul master. If I really have a mishap, it’s not too late to bring one in then.”

Ling Yuan thought for a moment. She did know a friend in Douluo City, and that friend was also a relative of that Ye Zixin.

“No problem, I’ll go see if she’s around. If something really happens, I’ll just drag her here. She’ll just scold me a couple of times, haha.”

With a flash, Ling Yuan went towards the west of the city, and returned shortly after. “No problem, she’s here. I’ve arranged for her in a shop, she’s choosing dresses right now.”

Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan exchanged glances and nodded at each other.

“Grandpa Ju, Grandpa She, please monitor the surroundings.”

“Yes.”

菊斗罗 (Ju Douluo) inwardly lamented that he couldn’t witness the incredible process firsthand. It was a pity. However, remembering that the 刺豚 (Cìtún – porcupine) and 老鬼 (Lǎo Guǐ – old ghost) had gone out to gather information, and didn’t even know about the divine herbs, he felt a little better. At least he knew more, which meant the young master valued him, and the pillow talk must have been effective. Why did he say pillow talk? They weren’t sleeping together, he shook his head. Anyway, it will be soon.

“So, shall I begin? This time it shouldn’t take too long.”

Lin Feng sat cross-legged, mobilizing his soul power.

The purple soul ring gradually stopped pulsating, separating from the innate treasure pearl.

Qian Renxue stared intently at the scene before her. Last time, she missed Lin Feng’s condensation of his first soul core, this time she wouldn’t miss it.

The pearl was sent back into his dantian, emitting a brilliant light, and the ethereal energy nourished his meridians and body.

Carefully sensing the soul ring in his hand, new insights arose in his heart.

The soul ring, as a condensation of soul power, contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the fundamental laws. Once formed, soul skills are born. The soul ring serves as a support and foundation for the soul skill, acting like a skill engine.

At the same time, the soul ring has another function: it’s the necessary path for a soul master to break through their limits. It bears the responsibility of containing excess soul power, building a new foundation for the growth of the martial spirit.

The growth of a martial spirit requires layer upon layer of high-rise buildings; the soul ring provides the platform for the martial spirit to develop upward. Or, it’s a staircase leading to the upper floors.

Without this staircase, a soul master cannot break through, but their own foundation will grow with cultivation and accumulate on this level.

This is why even without additional soul rings, one’s soul power can still increase. Adding soul rings brings a qualitative leap to the martial spirit and soul power, while self-cultivation brings about an accumulation of soul power.

“So that’s it, the martial spirit…and the self, the relationship between…”

Lin Feng seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashing with brilliance, but to grasp that inspiration, he felt a little lost.

“Forget it, I’ll figure it out. Let’s proceed with the soul core’s condensation. Shatter!”

“Bang!”

The light purple soul ring instantly transformed into a misty ring, flowing into Lin Feng’s body.

With the experience from the first time, Lin Feng was now adept, and he began to condense the critical point in his heart!

A sound like thunderous drums exploded within Lin Feng’s body, and a mouthful of blood spilled from his lips. This soul core’s creation was more difficult than he had anticipated.

It was probably due to the fire attribute. Even though Lin Feng had chosen a soul ring from a fire lizard whose flame intensity wasn’t too violent, the condensation of the critical point in his heart was still difficult.

The heart’s pulse is both important and fragile. Creating a soul core was far from as simple as Lin Feng had imagined.

Lin Feng calmed himself, fully mobilizing the innate treasure pearl to guide his soul power.

Seeing the blood at the corner of Lin Feng’s lips, Qian Renxue was startled and panicked, about to rush forward.

Slap!

Ling Yuan’s hand pressed down on Qian Renxue, giving her a reassuring look and shaking her head. Her gaze, however, was fixed on Lin Feng’s trembling body, her lips tightly pressed together. Clearly, she was also extremely anxious.

Qian Renxue paused, looking at Ling Yuan’s furrowed brow, and an unusual emotion arose in her heart. She stopped, watching Lin Feng’s movements with Ling Yuan, not daring to make a sound. From time to time, she glanced at Ling Yuan beside her, feeling a little irritable, a hint of resentment in her worried gaze towards Lin Feng.

Two and a half hours later, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, but was too weak to stand.

Ling Yuan was about to step forward and hold Lin Feng in her arms, but a golden figure beside her was faster, placing Lin Feng’s upper body on her thigh.

Glancing vigilantly at Ling Yuan, she lowered her head, gently stroking Lin Feng’s face, probing his body with her soul power, and softly asked, “Are you alright?”

Lin Feng nodded.

Ling Yuan: …

Oh well, I hugged him last time anyway.

The innate treasure pearl floated in the air. The purple soul ring had disappeared. The originally pale golden pearl now had a touch of red glow within its misty substance.

With a slight movement of her finger, a small flame leaped up.
