Chapter 131 The Strange Change of the Soul Ring, The Return Journey
With a long howl, Qin Mu expelled the turbid energy from his body, and at the same time, his blood, soul power, and spiritual power gradually merged together.
After all, the absorption range this time was really too large, and the amount of external soul power obtained was also much greater.
If Qin Mu hadn't taken advantage of this long roar to combine the three elements, he would have had to spend much more time adapting to this power in the future.
Just like when absorbing the Dragon King's bloodline resulted in insufficient refinement of soul power.
As he slowly concealed his aura, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure.
Unexpectedly, this trip actually resulted in absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul ring.
To Qin Mu's surprise, his soul power suddenly reached level 68.
It's worth noting that in the original story, Tang San, who accepted Xiao Wu's sacrifice, only reached level 66 in soul power at the end.
After pondering this question for a while, Qin Mu also came to a conclusion.
This is likely because there is a certain difference in strength between Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape.
After all, a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape is absolutely top-tier among soul beasts of the same level, and it would absolutely crush a Soft Bone Rabbit of the same level.
Although Xiao Wu is older than the Titan Giant Ape, in terms of cultivation, the Titan Giant Ape is definitely superior to Xiao Wu.
Under these circumstances, Qin Mu's soul power soared to level 68.
Of course, Qin Mu's gains didn't stop there.
Qin Mu's first and sixth spirit rings both came from the Titan Giant Ape.
After absorbing this 100,000-year-old spirit ring, Qin Mu was shocked to discover that his first spirit ring had also undergone a change.
The 100,000-year-old spirit ring and the 100-year-old spirit ring seemed to be connected.
This change made Qin Mu feel that his first spirit ring seemed to be becoming more powerful.
The most direct feeling is that the original Titan's Wrath only doubled all attributes.
However, after absorbing the spirit ring of the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, Qin Mu could feel that the amplification of his first spirit skill had increased by nearly half again.
In other words, the current Titan's Wrath buff has increased Qin Mu's power by 150%!
Most importantly, this increase may even grow in the future!
However, this is not a suitable place for testing, so Qin Mu suppressed his inner joy.
As he concealed his aura, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand also disappeared, and the enviable 100,000-year soul ring was also stored in Qin Mu's body.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad."
A rare, dry smile appeared on Fifteen Ton Douluo's usually stern face.
"Now that you've finished absorbing it, it's time for us to prepare to leave."
Although the environment here is nice, it is not a human city after all, and there may be many more powerful soul beasts hiding here.
One or two would be fine, but if dozens of soul beasts over 50,000 years old surrounded them, even with seven titled Douluo, they would never have been able to leave unscathed.
As Fifteen Ton Douluo set off, everyone followed behind him.
Once everyone returns to Wuhun City, this Soul Hunting Operation can be declared a complete success!
As they set off, Ling Yuan moved closer to Qin Mu and took the opportunity to hand him the left arm bone of the Titan Ape.
"Here you are, Little Qin Mu. This is a 100,000-year-old soul bone that is bound to appear on that Titan Giant Ape. It is a left arm bone."
Although Ling Yuan's eyes held envy, there was no greed in them.
Even deep in her eyes, there was a hint of joy for Qin Mu.
Qin Mu swiftly put the left arm bone that Ling Yuan handed him into his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, then frowned and said...
"This is a soul bone that's a hundred thousand years old! How could you just casually take it out like that?!"
"So what? We've driven away the strongest fighters in the Star Dou Forest. Who else would dare to covet this soul bone?"
"You..."
Hearing Ling Yuan's words, Qin Mu was about to refute them, but then he realized that what she said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
The strongest known soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest are the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
Now, the Azure Bull Python has escaped with serious injuries, and the Titan Giant Ape has become Qin Mu's soul ring and soul bone.
The Clear Sky Sect, as the enemy, had no ability to fight against this group of people, and Tang Hao was already half-crippled.
On the open mainland, thanks to this group of people, they have reached a point where they can roam freely across the land.
Thinking of this, even Qin Mu couldn't help but relax a little.
"Has this soul bone received permission from Fifteen Ton, the offering master?"
The fact that Ling Yuan could so readily hand it to Qin Mu suggests that she must have had the permission of the Fifteen Ton Douluo.
"Of course. You probably wouldn't be afraid of even a Contra Master now, right?"
"Once you become a Soul Saint, you will obtain a pair of 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones."
"At that time, you won't need any status or anything. With your strength alone, you'll be able to become an elder in the Spirit Hall!"
Ling Yuan was incredibly happy, as if she were the one who had experienced such growth.
Sensing that Ling Yuan was genuinely happy for him, Qin Mu didn't try to be overly sentimental.
Having gone through a real life-or-death battle, Qin Mu and Ling Yuan's relationship has grown closer once again. It can be said that the two have reached the point where they can completely trust each other to turn their backs on one another.
Unconsciously, Qin Mu placed his hand in the Ruyi Baibao pouch at his waist, and a burning desire stirred within him.
Absorbing a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape's spirit ring improved his first spirit ring to a certain extent.
If I absorb another 100,000-year-old soul bone, will something else change again?
It's important to know that by absorbing the Titan Ape's left arm bone, Qin Mu will now possess two spirit rings and two spirit bones related to the Titan Ape.
Speaking of soul bones, Qin Mu couldn't help but think of his previous agreement with the Snow Maiden.
Now he has become a six-ring Soul Emperor and has reached the point of absorbing that golden right arm bone.
Even the Snow Maiden, with her 600,000 years of cultivation, had difficulty absorbing the power within the soul bone. If Qin Mu were to truly absorb it, how much would his power increase?
Qin Mu was hesitant to even think about it.
Three days later, the group returned to the Spirit Hall.
The first thing Fifteen Ton Douluo did was naturally return to the Hall of Offerings.
This incident greatly improved Fifteen Ton Douluo's impression of Qin Mu.
Especially the scene where Qin Mu fought the Titan Giant Ape at the end, it was completely beyond Fifteen Ton Douluo's imagination!
Although the Titan Giant Ape was already quite weak at that time, it was still far beyond what Qin Mu, a Soul Master who was not even a sixth-ring Soul Master, could handle!
But Qin Mu actually did it!
In that desperate situation, Qin Mu relied on his own strength to defeat the Titan Giant Ape head-on.
It can be said that his ability to absorb the Titan Giant Ape's 100,000-year soul ring was largely due to his own efforts.
In addition, Fifteen Ton Douluo needs to provide further explanation regarding Bibi Dong's matter.
After all, the strength that Bibi Dong displayed in this operation was not as simple as it seemed.
Fifteen Ton Douluo frowned as he walked towards the Hall of Offerings.
The others left after completing their mission reports at the Spirit Hall, leaving only Qin Mu and Ling Yuan behind.
"Let's find a place to absorb that soul bone. In Wuhun City now, almost everyone knows you, and they all know how important you are to the Spirit Hall. It's perfectly safe!"
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking too."
Qin Mu responded to Ling Yuan, and couldn't help but lick his lips.
He was also eager to know what kind of improvement he would receive after absorbing the left arm bone!
