Chapter 123 Hunting the Fifth Soul Ring!
"I never expected you to be so ambitious, daring to challenge the limits of a Soul Master like this!"
The old man sighed, of course he understood what time meant.
The goal is simply to leverage the advantage of having twin martial souls to achieve a stronger physique than other soul masters of the same level, thereby absorbing martial souls of higher age and ultimately achieving unparalleled combat power at the same level.
But this is just theory; putting it into practice is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The fact that he could grow stronger so smoothly over time is enough to show just how terrifying his talent is.
The old man couldn't help but admire Time's talent and unwavering character, and felt even more strongly that his decision to protect Time was the right one.
Time re-disguised the spirit rings and then took them back.
With his current Soul King level physical attributes, coupled with the enhancement from whale glue and immortal herbs, his physique is already terrifyingly strong.
In terms of physical strength alone, even a Soul Master whose body has been enhanced by an ordinary beast-type martial soul is no match for him.
Moreover, his meridians are incredibly powerful, and with various enhancements, they have been expanded to be far stronger than those of other Soul Masters of the same level.
This means that Time can absorb and store more soul power, and the recovery, absorption, and refinement of soul power during battle can be more sustained.
The three of them entered the Starry Sky Forest through the entrance.
The quality of the spirit beasts here is significantly higher than that of those in Sunset Forest; even thousand-year-old spirit beasts are not uncommon in the outer areas.
Led by the old man, Shiguang and Shinian followed him straight into the middle of the forest.
Hundred-year-old soul beasts are much rarer here; there are more thousand-year-old soul beasts and a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that occasionally pass by.
Under the old man's powerful mental energy, all traces of the surrounding soul beasts were exposed.
The old man squinted, searching for a spiritual beast of the right time.
Even in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest where soul beasts gather, this kind of soul beast is extremely rare.
Spiritual spirit beasts are an important part of the spirit beast system. They are often extremely rare and possess great strength.
Just like the Mind-Stealing Demon and Dream Demon Beast that Time absorbed before, they are extremely rare spiritual soul beasts. These soul beasts usually only appear in the inner circle environment.
The old man pondered that if he couldn't find a suitable soul beast in the vicinity, he would have to risk entering the inner circle.
The inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest is different from the inner circle of the Sunset Forest, where the highest level is only ten thousand-year-old soul beasts.
The inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest is so rich in thousand-year-old soul beasts that they are as common as dogs, and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts roam the ground.
What's more, there are also terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beasts!
Even with the old man's strength, there was still a risk in facing a 100,000-year-old soul beast, let alone with two people by his side, which undoubtedly hindered his performance.
As the three wandered around the center of the forest, the old man suddenly stopped, a look of joy flashing in his eyes: "Found it!"
Led by the old man, the two arrived at a secluded patch of grass.
Through the gaps in the grass, Shiguang saw an extremely strange soul beast drinking water from the pool.
This is a soul beast covered in white scales, shaped somewhat like a camel from a past life, and exuding a terrifying aura.
"This is a Camel-shaped Beast that is about 50,000 years old."
The old man had incredibly sharp eyesight; he was practically a human-shaped image scanner, able to recall the corresponding information in his mind with just a glance.
"This kind of spirit beast is extremely rare! It possesses the terrifying ability to condense spiritual energy into a physical form!"
The old man said warily, "This kind of Camel Peak Beast can use mental power to simulate the effects of other soul skills, making it an extremely troublesome type of soul beast."
Shi Guang's spiritual power was very strong; he could sense that the spiritual power emanating from this Camel Peak Beast was extremely powerful, surpassing the realm of a Soul Emperor.
He immediately made his decision: "Senior! I'm going to choose this spirit beast as my fifth spirit ring!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Nian, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up: "No! This soul beast's spiritual power level is around that of a Soul Emperor! Its spiritual power has already had a qualitative impact!"
The mental power of a Soul Emperor is absolutely beyond your ability to contend with; a slight misstep could lead to your consciousness being devoured by the aggregate of resentment!
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded in approval: "That's right, it's indeed too dangerous for you to absorb this Camel Peak Beast. We might as well set our sights on other soul beasts that are more suitable for you to absorb."
Time shook his head, but Zi Guang said firmly, "I'll choose this one! I can feel the dream within me craving this Camel Peak Beast."
He was telling the truth; the illusion within Time was calling to him, clearly showing a longing for the soul beast before him.
This is a rare instance of a martial soul conveying emotions to him; the previous instance was due to the Forgotten Dew at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Upon hearing Shi Guang's request, the old man's eyes revealed surprise and hesitation.
Although what Time said is very likely true, the old man had indeed heard of martial spirits calling upon soul masters, which was not uncommon in the soul master world.
However, he still hesitated, after all, the matter concerned the future of Shi Guang, who possessed twin martial souls with innate full soul power.
If Time fails to absorb the spirit ring, it is very likely that the body will be damaged by the energy within the spirit ring, thus cutting off the path to becoming a spirit master in the future.
This is just a minor matter; the terrifying aspect of a spirit beast lies in its formidable spiritual power.
In terms of time's soul power and spiritual power, this kid is not strong enough to absorb such a powerful soul beast soul ring. The spiritual power of the soul beast contained within it is definitely something the other party cannot resist.
If a soul master is defeated in a battle with a spirit beast in the spiritual world, it is very likely that their body will be possessed, and the spirit beast will take over the soul master's body.
If Time were possessed, the harm it would cause to the human world with its innate full soul power and twin martial souls is unimaginable.
The old man wanted to defy time, thinking that there were plenty of fish in the sea, so why be hung up on just one?
But looking at Shi Guang's unwavering gaze, the old man hesitated.
This is an extremely firm gaze, filled with ideals, beliefs, and a desperate gamble on the future.
It is the gaze of a seeker of the Way who is extremely pure.
Even with the old man's temperament, he couldn't help but feel serious when he saw the gaze of time.
After a moment's thought, he nodded and replied, "Alright! Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. Just remember to act within your capabilities!"
Shiguang nodded, while Shi Nian's gaze shifted from astonishment to helplessness, revealing a bitter smile.
Shi Nian could sense the terrifying spiritual power of this soul beast; even during his time as a Soul King, he dared not choose to become a soul beast.
But time did just that, and the old man agreed.
They've gone mad! They've all gone completely mad!
Shi Nian shook his head with a wry smile, tacitly agreeing to the two's decision.
He watched silently as the old man circulated his soul power, emanating a terrifying aura.
