Chapter 71: Absorption, Inheritance of Spatial Attributes
Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue innocently.
She usually acted like a big sister, but in front of Dugu Bo, she was a well-behaved little girl.
"Grandpa, aren't there poison formations near your medicinal fields? Who dares to ruin your medicinal fields?" Dugu Yan shook Dugu Bo's arm and acted coquettishly.
Dugu Bo showed a doting expression.
"Boy, hurry up and absorb the Soul Ring."
Dugu Bo looked at Stone Monkey Sun Qi, his tone not very friendly. Compared with the way he treated Dugu Yan just now, it was completely different from heaven and earth.
"Thank you, senior."
Stone Monkey Sun Qi sat down cross-legged and pulled the Soul Ring into his body.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on him.
Among those present, even Dugu Bo, who had the most experience, had never seen a Soul Ring absorbed beyond one's level, so he was also curious about how Stone Monkey Sun Qi absorbed this thousand-year Soul Ring at level 20.
Seeing Stone Monkey Sun Qi absorb Soul Rings directly, just like a normal Soul Master, a glint of wonder crossed Dugu Bo's eyes.
Directly absorb?
Qin Ming's nerves tensed.
Although the age limit for Stone Monkey Sun Qi's Soul Rings was set by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Academy wouldn't be held responsible, as the team leader, Qin Ming still didn't want any of his team members to die in the process. He had witnessed too many of his companions die in the process and didn't want his students to experience the pain he had endured.
Yu Tianheng stared intently at Stone Monkey Sun Qi, observing him, wondering what special qualities made him capable of absorbing Soul Rings, allowing him to attempt a thousand-year Soul Ring on his second ring.
Under everyone's gaze, Stone Monkey Sun Qi's expression darkened.
Knowing everyone was watching, he suppressed a cry.
But even without a cry, his expression and the cracked skin on his body made his agony palpable.
Dugu Bo gasped at the sight of this.
Qin Ming's heart leaped to his throat, fearing Stone Monkey Sun Qi would explode. That would not only cost him his teammates but also leave Yu Tianheng and the others with severe psychological trauma.
Fortunately, Stone Monkey Sun Qi withstood it.
This Long-Armed Macaque was already twelve hundred years old.
At least, at the moment of its final death, its Soul Power had increased slightly, truly crossing the twelve hundred year mark.
This wasn't beyond Stone Monkey Sun Qi's tolerance.
At least, he hadn't exploded immediately. As long as he wasn't immediately blasted by the Soul Ring's power, the Soul Ring's absorption would be secure!
Stone Monkey Sun Qi felt secure, but the others were not optimistic.
Yu Tianheng's face darkened, as if he had personally experienced the pain. After watching for a moment, he couldn't help but turn his head away, unable to bear it any longer.
Dugu Bo, however, had been staring at Stone Monkey Sun Qi, observing him closely, sensing the changes in his Soul Power with unmistakable clarity.
"What a miracle."
He knew that this wasn't the first hurdle Stone Monkey Sun Qi had overcome with his incredible willpower.
A twelve-hundred-year-old Soul Ring was a powder keg for a level twenty Soul Master, and it wasn't something he could handle solely by willpower.
"This kid must have a special method to allow his body to withstand the impact of the Soul Power from a Soul Ring that surpassed its limits," Dugu Bo thought to himself.
He was very curious about this, and concerned about it.
If Dugu Yan wanted to solve the poison problem, she could either stop practicing, thus extending her lifespan, or redouble her practice, reaching a higher level before the poison could penetrate deeper into her body, using her profound Soul Power to suppress it.
If she could absorb a non-poison Soul Ring that surpassed her limits into her fourth Soul Ring without affecting her Spirit cultivation, then perhaps there was still hope...
Cultivating the Jade Scale Snake Spirit without poison would severely hamper its development. However, if this non-poison Soul Ring surpassed its limits, providing a bonus greater than that of an ordinary non-poison Soul Ring, comparable to the boost provided by a normal poison Soul Ring, Dugu Yan would not only be able to better suppress the toxins in her body, but also maintain her cultivation and experience long-term relief from the symptoms of poisoning.
Perhaps, with each subsequent Soul Ring, she could continue to absorb non-poison Soul Rings of higher levels.
As Dugu Bo pondered, Stone Monkey Sun Qi's greatest crisis had passed. His expression relaxed, his whole body relaxed, and his Soul Power stabilized.
Watching Stone Monkey Sun Qi overcome this critical period, Yu Tianheng and the others were drenched in cold sweat.
Just watching was enough to empathize. "Hiss~ If absorbing a Soul Ring of higher levels requires such torture, I'll definitely never do it again," Oslo said.
"Lingling, prepare your Soul skills and help Sun Qi heal later," Qin Ming said.
Dugu Bo spoke, interrupting Ye Lingling.
"No need."
Qin Ming looked over in confusion.
"His blood has already been regenerated." Dugu Bo stared at Stone Monkey Sun Qi with a strange look.
If at the beginning he was curious about how Stone Monkey Sun Qi made his body able to withstand the impact of the thousand-year Soul Ring, then now he was curious about the benefits of Stone Monkey Sun Qi's leapfrog absorption.
The regeneration of flesh and blood, as if a metamorphosis had taken place, is this the benefit of leapfrog absorption?
Dugu Bo was sure that Stone Monkey Sun Qi would not need to do anything for the next Soul Ring to absorb a Soul Ring that exceeded the normal limit of the third ring.
If the ability to withstand it was increased by a special method whose specific details were unknown, the degree of transcendence would be even greater.
Repeatedly like this, there is no need to reach the ninth ring, even if it is only the sixth ring, it is enough to open up a several-fold gap with ordinary Soul Masters.
"This is... the spatial element."
A silver light appeared in Stone Monkey Sun Qi's perception, and he knew that this was the spatial element.
"After absorbing the Soul Ring of this Long-Armed Macaque, Xiao Sun has transformed and inherited the spatial attribute!"
From this point, we can see Xiao Sun's talent.
This is the advantage of the Out-of-Body Spirit, which is too plastic.
First, it has the ability of a Soul Beast, second, it has the characteristics of a Spirit and can absorb Soul Rings, and third, it is not even bound by the body, and can more directly inherit the transformation of the Soul Ring, thereby transforming into abilities that it did not originally possess!
After regaining his perception, Stone Monkey Sun Qi felt a tremendous pressure.
He knew that someone was staring at him, observing him.
Just from the gaze, he could feel the obvious pressure without even opening his eyes to look at it.
"Success!" Dugu Yan said excitedly.
It really worked!
Qin Ming opened his eyes wide, thinking that the scene before him was too incredible.
The second ring of the millennium had been achieved just like that.
Stone Monkey Sun Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Dugu Bo.
"Thank you, senior," he thanked him again.
The monkeys here all possessed excellent spatial attributes, which was undoubtedly related to Dugu Bo. To a certain extent, this monkey colony was his personal property.
Stone Monkey Sun Qi had to express his gratitude after absorbing a millennium monkey.
"How is the Soul skill?"
Dugu Yan asked before Dugu Bo could speak.
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter helplessly.
He knew Dugu Yan had seen through his thoughts and interrupted him, changing the subject and giving both parties more room to relax.
