Of course, although Qi Lin was ecstatic inside, on the surface, he still helped Tianmeng Iceworm maximize his emotional value.
"Hmm, I really didn't expect that Brother Tian Meng would have such a legendary experience."
Seeing that Qi Lin actually trusted him so much, Tianmeng Iceworm felt a sense of guilt instead.
Only he himself knew how much exaggeration was in the story he fabricated.
For example, when he first came to the Star Dou Great Forest, it wasn't for sightseeing, but to escape from a Soul Beast chasing him from the sea.
Moreover, the Soul Beast that chased him was only a tens of thousands of years old Sea Soul Beast.
And he was already over nine hundred thousand years old at that time.
Furthermore, not long after he escaped to the Star Dou Great Forest, he was easily captured by a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, with no room for resistance at all.
Saying he fought hundreds of rounds was purely boasting.
Of course, for the sake of his wise and mighty image, Tianmeng Iceworm decided not to tell Qi Lin the truth yet, but instead told him about another matter.
"Xiao Qilin, I'm really not bragging to you."
"As the world's unique Intelligent Soul Ring, even though I didn't provide you with a Soul Bone, I can provide you with a new Martial Soul."
"Moreover, as your physical fitness gradually improves, I can also help you increase the age of your Soul Ring."
"Due to the limitation of your physique, your first Soul Ring has only reached the level of eight hundred years now. The remaining energy has all been sealed by me, waiting for your physical fitness to improve."
"How about that, aren't I awesome?"
Qi Lin laughed while giving a thumbs-up.
"Brother Tian Meng is awesome!"
"If the heavens hadn't given birth to you, Brother Tian Meng, Soul Beasts would have been in eternal darkness!"
Hearing Qi Lin's praise, Tianmeng Iceworm's two round eyes suddenly lit up, and then he laughed triumphantly.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Qilin, I said why I felt a sense of closeness as soon as I saw you."
"You understand me!"
"If the heavens hadn't given birth to me, Brother Tian Meng, Soul Beasts would have been in eternal darkness!"
"Ah hahahaha!"
After the excitement, Tianmeng Iceworm said proudly, "Right, Xiao Qilin, which four Soul Skills did you obtain?"
"Our Ice Silkworm clan is best at mental power. You should have obtained Soul Skills related to mental power, right?"
"Are there any like Simulation or Mental Detection? These are our Ice Silkworm clan's specialties."
Qi Lin shook his head and said with a smile, "The Soul Skills I obtained seem to be all Auxiliary Soul Skills, and there's no Simulation or Mental Detection."
"Uh?"
"How is that possible? Generally, Soul Skills are related to the Soul Beast's main body."
"Then what are your Soul Skills?"
Qi Lin truthfully said, "Gift of Destiny: Strength, Gift of Destiny: Speed, Gift of Destiny: Defense, Gift of Destiny: Soul. Each Soul Skill can increase the corresponding attribute by ten percent."
"What!"
"How can the amplification be so low!"
"Moreover, these Soul Skills have nothing to do with me!"
As soon as Qi Lin finished speaking, Tianmeng Iceworm immediately couldn't sit still.
In contrast, Qi Lin always maintained a calm expression.
Tianmeng Iceworm felt immediately depressed upon seeing this and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Qilin, aren't you sad at all?"
"Your first Soul Skill, besides having four of them, in terms of amplification, can't even compare to an ordinary hundred-year Soul Ring."
However, Qi Lin said with a relaxed expression, "Brother Tian Meng, you're just thinking too much. How can a million-year Soul Ring be so weak?"
"For these four Soul Skills of mine, as long as the Soul Ring age increases by ten thousand years, the amplification will increase by ten percent."
"So, if I increase my first Soul Ring to a million years, my four Soul Skills can be amplified by up to one thousand percent."
"By then, which Auxiliary Soul Master can compare with me!"
"Holy crap!"
"I knew the Soul Skills I gave you couldn't be that trashy. As expected!"
"Ah hahahaha!"
After hearing this, Tianmeng Iceworm felt capable again and became triumphant once more.
But Qi Lin hadn't finished speaking. After Tianmeng Iceworm finished laughing, he continued, "And that's not all!"
"These four Soul Skills of mine not only have temporary amplification effects but also possess a certain degree of permanent amplification. It's just that this amplification is relatively small, and each person can only receive permanent amplification once per day."
"What!"
"Permanent amplification!"
Tianmeng Iceworm's tone instantly rose by eight octaves.
Qi Lin felt that if Tianmeng Iceworm had taken human form, the expression on his face right now would definitely be spectacular.
After a long time, Tianmeng Iceworm finally said something with a complex tone.
"You're invincible!"
"Really invincible?"
"Otherwise? Originally, I still had a trace of uncertainty, but now it seems that if even you can't become a god, then probably no one in this world is worthy of becoming a god."
Tianmeng Iceworm sighed sincerely, but what followed was excitement and joy.
Great, when Xiao Qilin becomes a god, he can go to the God Realm with him to enjoy life.
Hehehe...
Thinking of that day, a hint of lewdness instantly appeared in Tianmeng Iceworm's two round eyes.
...
Su Yuntao and Si Si woke up faintly, first looking around blankly, before suddenly remembering that they had come to hunt Soul Beasts for Qi Lin.
"Oh no, Xiao Qilin!"
Seeing that Qi Lin was not beside her, Si Si's face immediately showed a hint of panic.
Until Qi Lin walked out from behind her and responded.
"Sister Sisi, I'm here!"
Si Si breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a good thing you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to your parents."
Beside her, Su Yuntao responded, thinking of the enormous Ice Silkworm he saw before losing consciousness, his eyes still filled with lingering fear.
"I didn't expect us to survive. We're truly blessed and lucky!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a large Ice Silkworm. Its age has reached at least the ten-thousand-year level."
"Although the Ice Silkworm's combat power is notoriously weak in the Soul Beast world, it's more than enough to deal with us."
"Fortunately, this kind of Soul Beast has a gentle nature and generally doesn't actively attack humans. The reason it stunned us was probably startled by the bloody smell from the Gale Wind Magic Wolf I killed."
After listening to Su Yuntao's analysis, Si Si also patted her chest in relief, a look of surviving a disaster flashing across her face.
But immediately, she remembered that Qi Lin hadn't absorbed a Soul Ring yet and couldn't help but say with a smile.
"Xiao Qilin, they say surviving a great disaster means great fortune is coming. It seems we can hunt a very good Soul Ring for you soon."
Qi Lin had already walked in front of them and said with a smile, "Sister Sisi, while you were still unconscious, I had already absorbed a Soul Ring."
"What!"
"Oh, Xiao Qilin, why didn't you wait for us to wake up before absorbing it?"
Upon hearing this, Si Si and Su Yuntao immediately showed looks of anxiety.
"Quick, show us what kind of Soul Ring you absorbed!"
After hearing this, Qi Lin could only truthfully reveal his Soul Ring.
A circle of pure white Soul Ring slowly rose from his feet.
"Ten-year Soul Ring!"
Seeing this, Si Si suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in her head.
Su Yuntao quickly supported Si Si, then looked at Qi Lin with a look of disappointment.
"You kid, what can I say about you?"
"You said if you had waited for me to wake up before absorbing the Soul Ring, how could you have only absorbed a ten-year Soul Ring?"
Seeing this, Qi Lin considered whether to tell them the truth.
He wasn't afraid at all of the news about his million-year Soul Ring being revealed, but the main thing was, who would believe it?
Perhaps if he told them, Si Si and Su Yuntao would think he was just comforting them or making excuses as a joke.
However, seeing Si Si's distressed look, Qi Lin still comforted her, "Sister Sisi, Brother Tao, you don't have to feel bad because of me. Don't look at my Soul Ring being just white, I actually have four Soul Skills."
As soon as he said this, Si Si and Su Yuntao were startled and looked at Qi Lin together.
"Wh- What!"
"Four Soul Skills!"
