Chapter 8: Thousand-year Soul Ring, Kitty~
The sun is shining brightly.
The brilliant sunlight shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Swish!
The bowstring vibrates, and the sound of breaking through the air suddenly rings out.
A cold light flashes.
A sharp arrow shoots out, and a flamingo is pierced and nailed to the tree, crying out.
On the tree, Su Ye draws his bow and arrow again, ending the flamingo's pain with a second shot.
"Very good, the 12th one..."
Swish, Su Ye jumps down from the tree and lands steadily in front of the flamingo, his clear eyes filled with joy.
"Now I can finally combine a thousand-year soul ring..."
Su Ye feels excited.
Three days have passed since he got his first soul ring.
The Xingdou Great Forest is indeed a paradise for wild soul beasts. In three days, he has hunted ten more fire-attributed soul beasts: five 500-year soul beasts, four 200-year soul beasts, and one 800-year-old flamingo, bringing the total to twelve.
Although the combined age of these soul beasts has exceeded a thousand years, fusion is different from synthesis. Fusion is about utilizing what you have if possible, while synthesis fully utilizes the energy, allowing you to leap to a higher level.
Su Ye didn't mind this difference. To him, it was just a matter of killing a few more soul beasts.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Wow! A pair of dark golden wings spread from his back, flames splashing around him.
Golden pupils, a golden beak, and hooked claws appeared in the air.
Black Feather Eagle...
No! It should be the Golden Flame Eagle.
The black feathers had turned dark gold, no longer dull and metallic. The feathers were now thin, sharp, and tightly attached to his body, surrounded by blazing flames.
His spirit was magnificent and domineering.
At the bottom of his feet, a yellow soul ring glowed brilliantly.
"Fusion."
Su Ye hesitated not at all.
Swish!
The flamingo's soul ring flew directly into the yellow soul ring.
Boom!
A terrifying wave of flame power surged from the soul ring, and a blooming fire lotus engulfed Su Ye.
The flames surrounded his martial soul, the Golden Feather Eagle, and the scorching heat seemed to burn his flesh.
Veins bulged on Su Ye's forehead as he gritted his teeth, enduring the pain while the fire-attribute energy exercised both his martial soul and his body.
Snap!
A crisp sound echoed from his body, as if a shackle had been released.
Soul power level 20: broken!
After fusing the soul rings of twelve 100-year soul beasts, Su Ye's cultivation had finally broken through to level 20.
After an unknown amount of time, the power of the flame slowly faded.
The bright yellow soul ring turned purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Purple!
A thousand-year soul ring!
"Huh, it finally succeeded." Su Ye, drenched in sweat, wiped his forehead and smiled with relief.
His first soul ring was a thousand years old. Apart from those with twin martial souls, even top geniuses like Qian Renxue didn't have such a start.
Moreover, this was just the beginning.
A thousand years!
Five thousand years!
Ten thousand years!
Even a hundred thousand years!
"It may be a dream for others, but it's just a matter of time for me!"
Su Ye smiled easily, feeling even more certain about his future.
Feeling the increase in strength, he clenched his fists, and the muscles in his arms creaked as power exploded from them.
Under his tattered clothes, his tightly packed muscles were like granite.
Su Ye couldn't help but secretly praise his great physique.
"After fusing the soul ring, not only is my martial soul evolving, but my body is also becoming stronger."
"My physique has no upper limit for growth. Maybe I can generate ultimate power without even fusing the golden dragon blood."
"The only problem is..."
Looking at his clothes, burned and riddled with holes, Su Ye's mouth twitched. This was his last piece of clothing.
If he went through another fire, he'd really have to "walk naked under the forest."
"But…"
"Now that my soul power is level 20, I can start considering the second soul ring…"
Su Ye felt a little excited.
---
Half an hour later.
A clear green lake.
The aroma of cumin meat wafted through the air. The flamingo's body was dissected, its internal organs removed and placed on the grill.
"It smells so good…"
Looking at the golden, crispy, and greasy bird meat, Su Ye eagerly pulled off the bird's legs and ate them with relish.
At this moment, he had unknowingly transformed into General Yuwen—every grain of rice in the bowl must be eaten!
The soul ring had fused into the soul ring.
The sharp beak, claws, and tendons of the bird were strengthened by his bow and arrow.
The eleven soul beasts were all like this—otherwise, how could an ordinary bow and arrow kill a soul beast with 800 years of cultivation?
At this moment, even the meat of the flamingo was eaten by him.
After eating and drinking, Su Ye sprinkled insect repellent powder around and took a nap under the shade of a tree.
Every time the soul ring energy forged his body, it was a huge strain on him. He needed to rest and digest the food.
A banana leaf covered his head, and Su Ye hugged his arms, lying down, feeling completely relaxed.
The surroundings became quiet, and soon, the chirping of cicadas filled the air.
Su Ye fell asleep completely, unaware of anything happening around him.
Time passed.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
As the shade of the tree shifted, the scorching sun shone directly on him, forcing Su Ye to wake up.
"Hmm—"
Yawning, Su Ye stumbled toward the lake, intending to take a bath to refresh himself before hunting more soul beasts.
Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded from the front.
"If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Swish!
Su Ye quickly opened his sleepy eyes, his right hand subconsciously resting on the hilt of his sword.
He saw a woman, who had appeared out of nowhere, bathing in the clear lake water.
Su Ye's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but be amazed by her appearance.
She had a delicate face with a soft forehead and brows.
Her long hair cascaded down her snow-white shoulders, and her skin was unusually fair and tender.
But the woman was too cold. She had an expressionless face, her hands pressed against her chest. Her round eyes held no emotion, only the dead silence and cold murderous intent of someone who had been peeped at.
A charming and aloof woman.
That was the first impression Su Ye got.
Looking around, Su Ye was relieved to see that there were no adult spirit masters nearby. He realized the woman had no guards.
"Beauty, first come, first served. To be honest, I was here first."
"You came to my spot to bathe without saying hello. Is that polite?"
While speaking, Su Ye pointed to a place nearby and said, "Look, my grill is still there."
As if she had just noticed the grill covered by banana leaves, the woman frowned slightly and seemed embarrassed.
The man in front of her was in tatters, his clothes tied around his waist, and his strong upper body exposed. As a woman, Zhu Zhuqing quickly turned her eyes away.
"You... you turn your head away!"
Turn away?
Do you think I'm stupid?
Let you get ashore and then attack me from behind?
Swish, Su Ye quickly rushed to where the woman had left her clothes.
This woman was so cold, she would definitely attack him once she got ashore.
Instead of waiting for that, it was better to take the initiative.
He bet she didn't have a second set of clothes!
Boom!
Flames exploded from Su Ye's palm. Realizing he was about to burn her clothes, Zhu Zhuqing's already cold eyes became even colder.
She gritted her teeth in anger and snorted coldly, "Stop!"
Su Ye shrugged helplessly. "Beauty, I have no choice."
"You look like a murderer. If I let you get ashore, you'll cut me into pieces, right?"
Thinking getting ashore was more important, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart and said, "Tell me quickly, what do you want?"
Su Ye thought for a moment and said, "Well, you swear first that you won't attack me after you get ashore. Then I'll consider giving you your clothes."
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing reluctantly replied with a "good."
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, with a scream of "Ah," Zhu Zhuqing's raised right hand fell rapidly.
"You filthy pervert!"
Ripples spread across the lake. Zhu Zhuqing covered her breasts tightly, almost sinking to the bottom of the lake. Her fair cheeks flushed red as she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear.
Uh…
Does this woman have a cow at home?
So fierce!
