The Little Red Bird chased after the young man, pecking him the whole way.
Lin Xiao could only beg for mercy in his heart:
"Feng Yu, Binger is sensitive. Wasn't I afraid she'd worry, so I deliberately joked around to keep her from overthinking?"
"You'd better be!"
Lin Xiao's gaze was devout:
"Of course, the one most worthy of thanks is the Phoenix God King. Without the Phoenix God King, there would be no Lin Xiao today."
"Feng Yu, you are my sun!"
The sun's kindness is something he could never repay in a lifetime...
Only then did Feng Yu quiet down.
"Lin Xiao, check your body and see what changes there are?"
"I worked hard to help you with the micro-management. Now your sixth Soul Ring is a million-year Nether Feather Fire Crow Soul Ring. Its attributes match yours, and its potential is huge. You should have gained quite a bit."
Feng Yu was afraid Lin Xiao was confused, so she briefly explained everything that had just happened. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised:
"That worm was born with deficiencies, and I don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter it had to reach a step that countless Soul Beasts couldn't. It's truly a twist of fate, a trick of creation."
Lin Xiao nodded.
He knew that the giant Ice Silkworm must be the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that only appeared in Douluo Dalu 2. Logically, at this time, the other party hadn't broken through to a million years and was still being devoured by a group of fierce beasts in the Lake of Life.
Could it be the butterfly effect he caused?
Lin Xiao didn't think too much about it.
He released his Martial Soul, and saw the crimson Fire Phoenix soar into the sky. Its aura was even more noble, but its appearance hadn't changed much.
Instead, in his sea of consciousness, his original little Phoenix, after devouring a wisp of the sun's origin that transformed into a Golden Crow, now had the origin of the Nether Feather Fire Crow as well.
"The Martial Soul has indeed evolved."
Lin Xiao stretched out his palm, and a wisp of dim flame, appearing as a hazy texture with a hint of purple within, burned in his palm.
The flame had no temperature, but it emitted an extremely dangerous aura. It was the Soul Devouring Fire that didn't harm the physical body but specifically attacked the soul, unpredictable and strange.
As the name suggests, the Soul Devouring Fire could burn and devour the enemy's soul.
Strong as it was, its methods were somewhat like those of an Evil Soul Master. Fortunately, Lin Xiao wasn't alone; Bibi Dong's second Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, belonged to the same category as him.
If anyone called him a Fallen One, he would bite back and accuse that person of slandering the Spirit Hall Pope...
Perfect!
"Oh, the gains are really not small."
Lin Xiao checked them one by one, starting with the million-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
The million-year Soul Ring had four skills:
First, Burning Soul Splitting Spirit Wave. Condense dark red soul fire in the palm to form a spiral shockwave, dealing high soul damage to the target hit, and simultaneously stripping out soul flame fragments to float on the battlefield and assist in combat;
Second, Soul Devouring Fire Armor. The body surface is covered with a highly concentrated liquid soul fire forming armor. When subjected to soul impact or spiritual attack, it automatically triggers "Backlash Siphon," absorbing damage while converting forty percent of the damage into soul fire to counterattack the opponent.
Third, Soul Refining Tribulation Fire Array. An dark red soul fire domain with a diameter of one hundred meters unfolds. The selected target is dragged into the domain, where their soul is refined and devoured. The refined soul can also be stored in the Soul Ring.
Fourth, Cinder Extinction Returning Soul Sacrifice. Forcibly extracts all souls stored within the Soul Ring and devours them in one gulp, causing a burst of self-enhancement for a short period. After casting, there are strong aftereffects. In severe cases, the soul is severely damaged and memory is lost. In mild cases, the soul is damaged and the brain is stimulated, making it impossible to cast again in the short term.
Lin Xiao: "..."
After sensing the Soul Ring provided by the Million Year Nether Feather Fire Crow, he exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
He was clearly playing with fire, wasn't he?
Anyone who didn't know would think he was the Soul Emperor!
These skills were clearly the template of a villain.
As for the Head Soul Bone provided by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it seemed much more normal. Although it wasn't a fire-attribute bird Soul Bone, it specialized in spirit, and the attributes were quite compatible.
Lin Xiao named the Million Year Head Soul Bone "Tianmeng Spiritual Pivot Crown."
"Tianmeng" is a commemoration;
"Spiritual" represents wisdom, symbolizing spirit;
"Pivot" is the central hub, representing the brain.
The four Soul Skills of the Tianmeng Spiritual Pivot Crown are as follows:
Spiritual Detection: Ultra-wide area reconnaissance ability, can penetrate obstacles and analyze subtle targets. The detection range can reach tens of thousands of miles as strength increases;
Spiritual Sharing: Synchronizes the results of Spiritual Detection with others;
Spiritual Interference: Releases spiritual power to interfere with the actions and attack trajectories of enemies within range;
Soul Impact: Launches a spiritual ray to cause direct damage. If the target's spiritual power is higher than one's own, they will suffer backlash.
Such familiar Soul Skills.
Weren't these the Soul Skills after Tianmeng transformed into a Million Year Soul Ring?
Why were the Million Year Soul Bones also like this?
Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, and he suddenly thought of a possibility:
Although the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a Million Year Soul Beast, it probably only knew these three basic moves! No wonder Soul Beasts that were only tens of thousands of years old with slightly stronger bloodlines could easily defeat it. This Million Year lifespan was full of water!
Feng Yu saw Lin Xiao's strange expression and immediately asked:
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xiao told Feng Yu about the four Soul Skills of the Million Year Nether Feather Fire Crow Soul Ring and the Million Year Tianmeng Ice Silkworm Head Soul Bone, which was met with Feng Yu's silence.
After a long while, Feng Yu finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Fortunately, it didn't ruin you."
Then she complained:
"How did this bug cultivate to a million years?"
"It's enough to really piss off other Soul Beasts!"
Lin Xiao said, "That's fine. Although it's a support-type Soul Skill, it compensates for my shortcomings to some extent. Besides, isn't there still the Nether Feather Fire Crow as a backup?"
"Moreover, the Soul Impact can be combined with my Great Sun Golden Eyes, doubling its power."
"It's equivalent to having an extra powerful attack method."
After all, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm contributed a lot, so Lin Xiao felt he shouldn't dislike it.
But to say that Lin Xiao was very grateful to Tianmeng was not entirely true.
Tianmeng chose him for its own sake, and if Lin Xiao really exploded, Tianmeng would definitely not linger on him and would immediately look for the next target.
It couldn't be blamed that its skills were inferior to Feng Yu's.
Besides the gains mentioned above, Lin Xiao also had a small surprise.
Because he obtained the "Soul Devouring Fire," the power of the Soul Bone Skill "Nine Nether Flame Hell" from his fifty-thousand-year Nether Sparrow right leg Soul Bone was also enhanced.
This Soul Skill, similar to the Life and Death Talisman, now tormented not only the body but also the soul.
...
The Soul Rings had been hunted.
Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er prepared to return.
On the way back,
Shui Bing'er's emotions calmed down, and the doubts in her heart resurfaced. She couldn't help but ask Lin Xiao:
"Brother Lin Xiao, what exactly happened before?"
"I saw your Soul Ring change from pitch black to red, then the red became deeper and deeper, and finally it actually turned black-gold!"
Red Soul Rings only existed in legends...
As for what a Million Year Soul Ring looked like, there wasn't even any record.
Shui Bing'er was less curious and more worried about the unknown, fearing that it would have a bad effect on Lin Xiao.
The golden one was naturally a Million Year Soul Ring.
As for the black-gold...
It should also be related to the characteristics of the Nether Feather Fire Crow?
Lin Xiao turned around, smiled slightly at Shui Bing'er, and made a "shush" gesture.
"Binger, this is a secret between you and me~"
The girl's face gradually turned red, and she nodded obediently.
