Everyone's eyes widened in shock as they stared at Jiang Chen's actions.
Jiang Chen had actually killed this Lightning Mink in such a manner.
Watching Jiang Chen's throat continuously rolling, many people couldn't help but swallow hard, a trace of fear rising in their hearts.
Drinking a soul beast's blood raw—what kind of person was this, a human or a devil?
Even Bibi Dong was stunned. She had originally thought Jiang Chen's two sharp fangs were just for show, never expecting that those teeth could be used so ferociously.
Seeing Jiang Chen's appearance as he greedily drank the blood, seemingly very excited, Bibi Dong couldn't help but think of a certain place.
"Teacher, Little Chen he..." Hu Liena had just wanted to step forward to stop Jiang Chen when she was held back by Bibi Dong.
In less than a minute, Jiang Chen had sucked the Lightning Mink's blood dry, not leaving a single drop, and tossed the shriveled corpse to the ground.
He could freely control the corpse poison in his body; just now, he had purely sucked blood without letting any toxins flow into the Lightning Mink's body.
This was the first time he had sucked a soul beast's blood, and he immediately felt the difference compared to human blood.
Previously, with Jing Wuming and Zhao Youyue, although their levels were a bit higher than his, their strength was lower than his. Absorbing those two's blood had only felt delicious to him, with not much effect on himself.
But this time was different. This Lightning Mink's cultivation had reached ten thousand years, equivalent to a human around level sixty Soul Master's cultivation. The essence contained in that blood was extremely vast for Jiang Chen.
After entering his body, it continuously strengthened his physique, but had little increase in his soul power.
"Little Chen, so what you said was true, those two fangs of yours really are for biting people." Hu Liena said in shock.
Back when Jiang Chen had told her about the function of these two fangs, she hadn't believed it, but now she did. Still, biting was one thing, but why drink the blood?
Bibi Dong frowned and said, "Little Chen, tell Teacher, why did you drink its blood?"
Jiang Chen's fangs retracted. He reached out to wipe the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth and answered, "Teacher, this is one of my martial soul's abilities. Sucking blood can make me even stronger, especially the blood of powerful living beings."
A strange light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she secretly marveled in her heart.
"Perhaps that place is very suitable for him..." Bibi Dong thought to herself.
At this moment, the way the others looked at Jiang Chen was as if they were looking at a monster. Becoming stronger just by sucking blood, if he kept sucking nonstop, wouldn't his cultivation skyrocket?
And if he sucked human blood...
Just thinking about it made people's hair stand on end. Unknowingly, many gazes toward Jiang Chen carried a trace of fear.
At that moment, a black soul ring floated up from the Lightning Mink's corpse and hovered in front of Jiang Chen.
He really was going to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring!
Although Bibi Dong had already said so earlier, at this moment, many people still couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring at level thirty, was he serious?
Jiang Chen said nothing more. After releasing his martial soul, he immediately sat cross-legged and drew the black soul ring onto himself.
"Little Chen, do your best!" Hu Liena called out.
Jiang Chen smiled at her and nodded. He could see the thick worry on Hu Liena's face.
There was also a teacher, though her face was very calm, Jiang Chen could still sense a trace of tension from her.
Even that usually expressionless Old Ji had a rare look of concern on her face.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes. The soul ring's energy completely erupted within his body.
The ten-thousand-year soul ring was indeed a huge challenge for him, but he had considerable confidence.
His body's recovery ability was astonishing; as long as it wasn't decapitation or severed limbs, he could recover very quickly.
The soul ring's energy madly battered his body, but he seemed numb to it.
Though this energy was violent, it couldn't compare to the pain of tribulation lightning at all. He was already able to face it calmly.
Within his body, besides the energy contained in the soul ring, there was also the massive essence from the Lightning Mink's blood earlier, which was still continuously being absorbed by his body, greatly reducing his pain.
Watching Jiang Chen's composed appearance, Bibi Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Though she had Jiang Chen's and Commander Ji's assurances, she had still been worried. Now, seeing Jiang Chen's condition very stable, she was finally at ease, followed by immense joy.
This disciple truly exceeded her imagination.
"If he really likes her, then what should I do?"
...
With the assistance of the Lightning Mink blood essence, although the process was painful, it was still within Jiang Chen's easy tolerance range.
In fact, absorbing this ten-thousand-year soul ring was much easier than when Hu Liena absorbed her four-thousand-plus-year soul ring.
In less than an hour, the soul ring's energy dissipated. He had directly skipped level thirty and reached level thirty-one, officially becoming a Soul Elder.
Jiang Chen stood up. With his cold demeanor and the three soul rings on his body, two purple and one black, it was truly shocking.
After absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring, his body had grown taller again. At just nine years old, he now reached nearly 1.7 meters, almost catching up to Hu Liena.
He stretched his body, and his bones let out continuous crackling sounds.
"Pervert!" Hu Liena couldn't help but say it.
The others nodded one after another, agreeing with Hu Liena's assessment.
"Little Chen, how is it? What soul skill did you obtain?" Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. Then, strands of electric arcs appeared on his body, space seemed to fluctuate slightly, and Jiang Chen's body vanished into thin air, reappearing a hundred meters away.
In an instant, everyone was shocked speechless, mouths agape, even Bibi Dong was the same, no longer able to maintain her Pope's image.
Jiang Chen had actually teleported, and over a distance of a hundred meters. Had the world gone mad, or were their eyes playing tricks?
Obtaining a teleportation skill was already a miracle, yet now Jiang Chen's teleportation skill reached a hundred meters, which was practically the same as the Lightning Mink's original ability.
Jiang Chen carefully recalled: when his third soul ring had lit up earlier, strands of lightning had been drawn out from the corpse core in his body, which was what allowed him to teleport a hundred meters.
Otherwise, his teleportation distance should only have been a few meters.
With a thought, the soul ring lit up again. Thinking of his original position, a mysterious power immediately pulled him across the spatial barrier, and he appeared directly in front of Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, I succeeded."
"Mm, good." Bibi Dong gently stroked Jiang Chen's head and noticed that Jiang Chen's height was almost reaching hers.
"Little Chen, does your martial soul also possess lightning attributes?" Bibi Dong asked.
Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes, my martial soul has lightning attributes, but I don't use them often."
He couldn't explain the corpse core, so he pushed the responsibility onto the martial soul.
Bibi Dong asked again, "The Lightning Mink's teleportation skill has a daily limit on uses. Does yours have one?"
"Yes, this teleportation skill, I can only use it up to three times per day at most," Jiang Chen answered.
"Mm, three times is already pretty good."
