"Brother Lin, Little San!"
Xiao Lin and Tang San had only been pursuing for a few minutes when they heard Xiao Wu's voice from a distance. The two looked ahead and saw Xiao Wu approaching, completely unscathed and wearing a bright smile.
"Xiao Wu!"
Before Xiao Lin could say a word, Tang San had already darted forward.
His speed was so incredible that Xiao Lin began to wonder if Tang San had somehow obtained a speed-boosting Soul Ring skill himself. By the time Xiao Lin leisurely walked over, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already finished their embrace.
Tang San was urgently asking her what had happened.
Just like the original timeline, Xiao Wu used the excuse of a battle between the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python to gloss over the truth.
"By the way, Brother Lin, Little San, I've already absorbed my second Soul Ring."
"It's from a Lightning Rabbit, a one-thousand-five-hundred-year-old ring."
On the way back, Xiao Wu smiled triumphantly.
After this, who would dare say her, Xiao Wu, was just a tag-along?
The Soul Skill she obtained was definitely not inferior to Brother Lin's. Xiao Wu was extremely excited, wanting to show off in front of Xiao Lin and Tang San.
"Alright, Xiao Wu. Let's head back to Nuoding Academy first. Back there, even a Titled Douluo couldn't defeat the Titan Giant Ape."
Xiao Lin was worried about Xiao Wu's identity being exposed, so he used the Titled Douluo as an excuse to get her to keep quiet for the moment.
Bypassing Xie Yue and the others, Xiao Wu led the way while Tang San and Xiao Lin guarded her from behind.
"Brother Lin, let me tell you, my Soul Skill is extraordinary. You have to update my Martial Soul data panel when we get back!"
Xiao Wu's face was full of pride as she skipped along, her scorpion-braid swaying back and forth. Watching her from behind, Tang San's eyes were filled with doting affection.
Xiao Lin, on the other hand...
"Tell me about it," Xiao Lin said curiously.
"My second Soul Skill: Lightning Charge! After possessing my Martial Soul, a large amount of yellow lightning erupts from my fur, granting me a 30% increase in both speed and attack."
Seeing that Xiao Lin and Tang San's expressions seemed a bit unimpressed, Xiao Wu added hastily: "That's not all! For every Soul Power rank I gain, my speed and attack will increase by another 1%. Furthermore, my lightning will paralyze anyone I touch."
Xiao Wu spoke proudly while secretly observing their expressions.
Seeing their "shocked" faces when she mentioned the paralysis effect, she smiled even more triumphantly.
"The paralysis effect depends on the opponent's Soul Power and physical strength. If they are an Auxiliary System Soul Master or an Agility System Soul Master, they basically won't be able to shake it off."
This was exactly the Soul Skill chosen according to Xiao Lin's plan: a Fast-Attack Assassination Master. Ordinary Auxiliary and Agility Soul Masters stood no chance against such a move.
However, Xiao Lin wasn't actually shocked. Given his knowledge, he actually felt Xiao Wu's Soul Skill was a bit weak. How could a self-condensed Soul Ring be less effective than his own?
Xiao Wu, who was closely watching them, naturally noticed Xiao Lin's puzzled expression and continued.
"Brother Lin, you don't think my second Soul Skill only has those abilities, do you?"
Xiao Wu crossed her arms, the corners of her mouth curling up.
"The best part of this skill isn't what I just mentioned. Its true power is a total speed enhancement—every kind of speed you can think of."
"30% movement speed, reaction speed, striking speed... Even while running at high speeds, I won't lose my reaction time and get instantly defeated."
"Plus, the consumption of this Soul Skill is extremely low, likely because my Martial Soul is a perfect match for the Soul Ring."
Xiao Wu's casual boasting even left Tang San stunned.
He truly hadn't expected Xiao Wu's Soul Skill to be a comprehensive speed boost. While the amplification wasn't as terrifying as Xiao Lin's, among Soul Masters of the same level, it was definitely a monster-tier skill.
"Xiao Wu, this skill of yours is too terrifying. I don't think I'd be your match anymore," Tang San shook his head, praising her.
"Little San, what about your Soul Skill? It can't be weak!"
Xiao Lin acknowledged Xiao Wu's skill; it was definitely S-rank.
But now, he was more curious about Tang San's second Soul Skill.
"My Soul Skill is quite ordinary."
Tang San lowered his head, his brow furrowing as he sighed.
"Aside from allowing my Blue Silver Grass to regenerate at high speeds, it only has a Gigantification ability."
"Hmm?"
How is that possible?
Xiao Lin felt something was off.
He had personally picked Tang San's Soul Ring; it couldn't be weak. When Xiao Lin caught the slight upward curve of Tang San's lips, he immediately understood.
Good grief, you're even playing tricks on your brother?
"Little San, don't be sad. Sister Xiao Wu will protect you from now on!"
Xiao Wu, that silly rabbit, was indeed fooled. Xiao Lin shook his head inwardly.
"Yeah, my Soul Skill basically just doubled the effects of my first Soul Skill. The other abilities are passive and practically useless."
"Vitality, Gigantification... they're not even worth mentioning."
As he spoke, Tang San burst into laughter, seeing the look of sudden indignation on Xiao Wu's face.
"Hey! Little San, if you're going to be like this, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Xiao Wu was instantly fuming.
She turned her head away and ignored him.
"Little San, your Soul Skill should have more to it than that, right?"
At that moment, Xiao Lin asked seriously.
"Correct, Brother Lin. My second Soul Skill perfectly enhances my first one, including all the abilities I gained from my first Soul Ring. Soul Power transmission and perception have both been strengthened."
"The healing effect of my Blue Silver Regeneration Bracelet has increased to 50%—that's the combined effect after the Martial Soul's vitality was boosted. If I activate the second Soul Skill, the healing effect reaches 100%."
Pride showed on Tang San's face.
With his vitality greatly enhanced, he was confident he could defeat even a Power Attack System Soul Master through the endless use of Blue Silver Binding. Relying on nothing else, the high-speed regeneration and Gigantification were enough.
An ordinary Soul Master couldn't destroy his Blue Silver Grass faster than he could regrow it using Soul Power. Combined with the unending nature of Mysterious Heaven Skill, he felt he could take on three opponents at once without an issue.
As long as he didn't encounter attributes like Ice or Fire that countered Blue Silver Grass. Actually, Tang San wasn't that afraid of Ice or Fire; he was confident he could outlast those Soul Masters due to his low Soul Power consumption.
His only concern was if Ice control or large-scale Fire burned the grass so quickly that regeneration became useless.
Tang San quickly shared his concerns with Xiao Lin, seeking a solution.
"That's easy enough to handle. While we continue to seek vitality-focused Soul Rings, we just need to ensure the Blue Silver Grass no longer fears Ice and Fire."
"Generally speaking, a Water-attribute Soul Beast with strong vitality could solve the fire issue. But Ice is trickier. We would need to find a powerful vitality Soul Beast that also has cold resistance."
Xiao Lin pondered.
Such a beast would likely be found near the oceans of the Far North.
However, obtaining a Sea Soul Beast's ring was quite difficult.
"Alternatively, we could look for a high-temperature resistant plant-type Soul Beast with great vitality... No, that won't work."
Xiao Lin went silent for a moment, then shook his head, abandoning the second option.
A plant-type Soul Beast that resisted high temperatures might not necessarily ignore the Ice attribute.
"Perhaps we can find a plant-type Soul Beast with an 'exoskeleton' and immense vitality for the Blue Silver Grass."
