As Xiao Lin smiled smugly and declared the name of his fourth soul skill, Tang Ni and the other three gasped, staring at him in utter shock.
Xiao Lin's base stat buffs were already completely broken. Now, he had obtained a soul skill that sounded incredibly formidable just by its name alone. Furthermore, Xiao Lin mentioned that his soul skill wasn't just for attacking?
Did he actually obtain two soul skills? Of course not.
Faced with the doubts of Ye Lingling and the others, Xiao Lin quickly and patiently explained.
Obtaining two soul skills from one soul ring was impossible. However, having a single soul skill with multiple distinct abilities was an absolute breeze.
"The attack method of my Comet Star Strike involves letting my Horned Dragon Staff elongate at the speed of a flying comet, followed by a heavy downward slash to deal massive damage."
"When this soul skill extends the Horned Dragon Staff, its density and destructive power don't decrease at all. Instead, they're significantly enhanced. The longer it gets, the more devastating the impact."
"Its maximum length is tied to my soul power. If I ever become a Titled Douluo, my Horned Dragon Staff might just grow higher than the heavens and deeper than the oceans!"
As Xiao Lin's explanation reached this point, Ye Lingling, the other two, and even Tang Ni stared at him with sheer disbelief written all over their faces.
According to Master Xiao Yan's martial soul data panel, didn't this mean Xiao Lin's speed and attack range had already reached S-tier? Or maybe even SS-tier, or SSS-tier?
Overpowered. This was way too broken!
A pure stat-monster had somehow learned a skill with unique mechanical utility. Although Tang Ni and the other four didn't quite know the term "stat-monster," the thoughts brewing in their minds were exactly the same.
Tang Ni, in particular, looked utterly defeated.
How on earth was she supposed to win against this?!
However, Tang Ni possessed an unyielding, competitive nature. She could only secretly commit this matter to memory, racking her brain for ways to surpass Xiao Lin.
I heard there's a highly bizarre soul beast in the Star Dou Forest called the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.If I absorb the soul skill of a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, wouldn't my victory over Xiao Lin be guaranteed?
A six-year-old Xiao Lin would be something I could suppress with just a single finger.
In an instant, Tang Ni was already prepared to cheat, wanting nothing more than to head back to the Star Dou Great Forest to activate her cheat codes.
"My soul skill amplifies my attack power by 50%. As for the enhancement from elongation, it grants roughly a 5% boost for every single meter of length."
"Then there's the speed enhancement. The speed boost adds the flat speed of a Comet Snow Wolf to my base form, and on top of that, it provides an additional 50% enhancement."
Xiao Lin was still listing the attributes of his soul skill, but even he was losing track of just how invincible he had become. For the current Xiao Lin, the fourth soul skill was undoubtedly an insanely powerful buff.
However, for the future Xiao Lin, simply adding the flat speed of a Comet Snow Wolf would eventually seem rather lackluster. Even so, Xiao Lin was exceptionally satisfied with this soul skill.
It ensured his Eight Trigrams Staff Technique no longer possessed any weaknesses.
"Aside from all that, this soul skill also granted me an ice flame, which is essentially the comet's tail flame. This ice flame seems capable of synergizing with my third soul skill, providing a different kind of core for my Blazing Power."
Xiao Lin wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of this part.
However, within his spiritual consciousness space, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had made it clear that he had struck absolute gold with this soul skill. Xiao Lin's third soul skill was originally designed to mimic the cultivation of a soul core, allowing for further development.
Now, with these two great soul skills, he could immediately mimic the cultivation of both the Ice and Fire dual soul cores. This would make condensing actual Ice and Fire soul cores significantly easier for him in the future.
Moreover, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings indicated that perhaps due to the unique adaptive capabilities of the Comet Snow Wolf, this ice flame could actually fuse with Xiao Lin's original golden flame.
In the future, when Xiao Lin activated his third soul skill, he might not just manifest two ordinary flame cores. Instead, it would be a fused ice-and-fire flame core—and he would have two of them!
Xiao Lin couldn't even calculate the exact extent of the power boost at the moment. In short, it was just absurdly, incredibly strong. However, what left Xiao Lin somewhat brooding was the fact that his soul power had only reached Rank 43.
This kind of progress left him utterly speechless.
He cultivated the power of vital blood and possessed the Ultimate Ice, Ultimate Fire, and Ultimate Gold attributes, but there was no logical reason for his soul power to advance this slowly.
He had perfectly absorbed the energy of three immortal herbs, and he had also perfectly absorbed the energy of a twenty-seven-thousand-year soul ring.
Yet, he had only leveled up to a Rank 43 Soul Ancestor?
"Xiao Lin, don't worry. In the future, we will help you hunt for soul rings that are over one hundred thousand years old. We'll make sure your soul power cultivation catches right back up."
Inside Xiao Lin's consciousness space, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings gave their word.
"Alright. But for my fifth soul ring, I intend to absorb a one hundred thousand year soul ring—or at least something very close to it," Xiao Lin stated within his consciousness space.
Thinking about how Huo Yuhao's cultivation upgrades relied entirely on the massive soul power sacrificed by Fierce Beasts, Xiao Lin knew he also had to target soul beasts with incredibly high cultivation ages.
"Suit yourself. By the time you reach Rank 50, your physical fitness will be more than enough to absorb a one hundred thousand year soul ring without a hitch."
Within the consciousness space, the Ice Dragon King nodded.
"However, if your next soul ring is of the lightning attribute, we won't be able to help you raise its cultivation age."
The Ice Dragon King's final reminder didn't deter Xiao Lin in the slightest. He had already planned this out—he would use that sucker, the Sea God, to fortify his soul rings later on.
...
"Huh! What is this?"
"It looks like a soul bone!"
Outside the consciousness space, the voices of Ye Lingling and Tang Ni caught Xiao Lin's attention. He focused his gaze to get a closer look. He saw Tang Ni holding the right leg bone of the Comet Snow Wolf in her hand.
"A ten thousand year soul bone. Here, Xiao Lin, it's yours."
Tang Ni wasn't interested in this soul bone at all.
If she ever wanted a soul bone, she could just head over to the Star Dou Forest and farm a few.
The only variable would be the quality of the soul bone.
Of course, if there was a genuinely top-tier ten thousand year soul bone, she wouldn't mind absorbing it either. The other three also knew this soul bone had dropped from the beast Xiao Lin defeated, so they didn't pay it much mind.
After all, they hadn't just received immortal herbs from Xiao Lin and his group; they had also benefited from his guidance and obtained the exact soul rings they desired.
Besides, given the strength of their respective clans, they weren't so hard-pressed as to fight over a single ten thousand year soul bone.
A mere ten thousand year soul bone—or so they thought. Ye Lingling and the others had no idea that the Comet Snow Wolf's cultivation had actually reached a staggering twenty-seven thousand years.
At this moment, Xiao Lin stared at the soul bone in his hand, momentarily stunned.
Did the Comet Snow Wolf have some other skill that transformed into this soul bone ability?
"Huh, this soul bone possesses the Chaos attribute!"
Xiao Lin was momentarily torn on whether he should absorb it right now. Just as he was about to store it inside his spatial storage device for future research, the Fire Dragon King spoke up, his tone curious yet certain.
"The Chaos attribute?!" Xiao Lin exclaimed inwardly.
"Chaos Qi originates from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before the creation of the world. This type of energy contains the power of creation, allowing living organisms to evolve endlessly without damaging their innate foundations."
"No wonder you said the Comet Snow Wolf is highly sought after by most soul beasts, Xiao Lin. Turns out it's just plain delicious and highly nutritious to them! At first, I thought the Comet Snow Wolf just had incredible adaptability. It turns out it carries its own Chaos Qi!"
"The Chaos Qi within this soul bone is pitifully sparse, but it is absolutely the perfect soul bone for you. Later on, I can use my secret technique to evolve this right leg bone into a one hundred thousand year soul bone or higher. Go ahead and absorb it, Xiao Lin!"
Hearing the advice of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Xiao Lin naturally chose to listen.
Xiao Lin reasoned that since the Comet Snow Wolf originated from a comet, and comets constantly hurtled through various star systems, it made perfect sense for it to carry Chaos Qi.
Still, could the Ice Dragon King's spiritual energy really evolve this right leg bone?
