Chapter 60: Five Viscera, Six Bowels, and the Crimson Heart
While speaking with Ye Lingling, Lin Mo focused inward and began examining Charmander. The panel visible only to him slowly appeared before his eyes.
[Martial Soul: Charmander]
[Talent: Entei]
[Spirit Power: Lv22, Shared]
[Mastered Spirit Abilities: Scratch, Growl, Ember, Smokescreen, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rush, Flare Blitz, Metal Claw, Molten Body, Dragon Breath, Fire Fang, Flame Vortex, Flame Charge, Slash, Lv20, Dragon Dance]
Lin Mo had no intention of hiding the Spirit Ability Charmander had gained this time.
The Spirit Ability bestowed by the Crimson Blood Sub Dragon's Spirit Ring really was Dragon Dance.
After all, Dragon Dance was destined to become one of Charmander's most frequently used abilities. Since it would appear again and again in future battles, there was no point in concealing it.
Like Molten Body, Dragon Dance was also a strengthening type Spirit Ability, but the focus of the two was different.
Molten Body emphasized attack and defense.
Dragon Dance emphasized speed and attack.
In most situations, Dragon Dance was even more practical than Molten Body.
Incidentally, the attack enhancement granted by either Dragon Dance or Molten Body was not limited to physical attacks, unlike the understanding Lin Mo had from his previous life.
Rather, it was a full increase in overall attack power.
That meant whether it was a close range physical skill like Flare Blitz or Flame Charge, or a more energy based attack like Ember and Flame Vortex, all of them could benefit from the increase in offensive power.
Perhaps it was because Charmander had become a Martial Soul in the Douluo world that the effects of these Spirit Abilities differed slightly from what Lin Mo had once known.
By his guess, if Charmander ever mastered an ability that boosted Special Attack in the future, then the direction of that amplification would probably be closer to a direct enhancement of its elemental attribute.
In other words, it would fundamentally raise the power of its flames.
He just did not know whether, if Charmander ever gained such an amplification skill, it could push the quality of its fire all the way to Ultimate Fire.
At present, Charmander's flames were already of very high quality, but they were still clearly far from that level.
"Do you feel anything wrong with your body?" Ye Linyuan looked at Lin Mo and asked.
"Anything wrong?" Lin Mo was slightly puzzled.
He had just finished absorbing the Spirit Ring. What could possibly be wrong?
His current condition was better than ever.
Even his Body Martial Soul had clearly benefited from the blood and qi attribute of the Spirit Ring that Charmander had absorbed.
If the Martial Soul he had chosen to cultivate first had been his Body Martial Soul, then he would have been just as delighted to encounter the Crimson Blood Sub Dragon at the second ring stage.
The Crimson Blood Sub Dragon had not only been extremely suitable for Charmander, it had also been highly compatible with his Body Martial Soul because of its blood and qi attribute.
"Lin Mo, look at the sky," Ye Lingling reminded him from the side.
"Your absorption took a very long time this time. It is almost dark now."
She paused before continuing, "The second Spirit Ring I absorbed was around 700 years, but the time I spent was not even a fifth of yours."
"Are you sure you're really fine?"
Only then did Lin Mo notice that the sky around them had already darkened.
It had actually taken him this long to absorb an 800 year Spirit Ring?
A trace of doubt rose in his heart again, but when he turned his attention to himself and called up his own panel, a huge shock instantly surged through him.
[Lin Mo]
[Age: 8]
[Spirit Power: Lv22, Shared]
[Martial Soul: Main Body Martial Soul, Five Viscera and Six Bowels, Blood]
[Spirit Bone: External Spirit Bone, Crimson Heart]
[Self created Spirit Skill: Blood Burst, Tier 2 Heart Burning]
At that moment, the panel clearly displayed his current status, but compared to the last time he had checked it, major changes had appeared.
The first was naturally his Spirit Power. After absorbing the Spirit Ring produced by the Crimson Blood Sub Dragon, his Spirit Power had risen to Lv22.
But compared to that, what shocked Lin Mo even more was the Martial Soul line and the completely new line that had appeared beneath it.
In the Martial Soul section, the original description of the heart had vanished. In its place were the words Five Viscera and Six Bowels.
Not only that, but the new line beneath it made things even clearer.
He now possessed a new Spirit Bone.
And it was the rarest kind of Spirit Bone of all, an External Spirit Bone named Crimson Heart.
At that thought, Lin Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.
So this Crimson Heart was the cause of the change, or rather, the evolution, of his Martial Soul.
With a brief thought, he quickly grasped where this External Spirit Bone had come from.
Back when he and Charmander were absorbing the Spirit Ring, he had indeed felt an extremely special strand of blood and qi merge into his body.
It seemed that at that moment, while absorbing the Spirit Ring, he had unknowingly absorbed this External Spirit Bone as well.
After clarifying that point, Lin Mo forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
He tried his best to keep his expression calm. After pretending to examine his condition for a moment, he slowly said, "My current state is very good. I don't feel any discomfort."
"As for why this absorption took so long, I'm not entirely sure either."
He paused before continuing, "Perhaps it's because this Spirit Ring came from a Crimson Blood Sub Dragon. Since it carries Sub Dragon bloodline, the quality of the Spirit Ring itself is very high."
"That may be why the absorption process took so much longer."
"That is not impossible," Ye Linyuan said as he stroked his beard.
"But to be safe, I should still examine you."
"You little fellows are at the age when your foundation is being laid. We cannot allow carelessness to affect your future."
"Alright. Then I'll trouble you, Elder Ye."
Lin Mo hesitated briefly, then extended his right hand.
Ye Linyuan placed his fingers on Lin Mo's wrist. At the same time, he summoned his Nine Heart Begonia.
2 yellow, 2 purple, and 4 black Spirit Rings rose around the flower, which was clearly more than a circle larger than Ye Lingling's.
Seeing this, Ye Lingling's expression on the side also became a little tense.
Fortunately, the examination did not last long.
Soon, Ye Linyuan released Lin Mo's wrist, and a clear look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"There is no major problem with your body. On the contrary, your condition is shockingly good."
"Your internal organs seem far stronger than those of an ordinary person."
"And your blood and qi are also much more vigorous than those of a Spirit Master at the same level. In fact, they are already comparable to some 4 ring or 5 ring Spirit Masters."
"Then everything should be fine, right?" Lin Mo scratched his head and asked.
"Everything is perfectly fine."
Ye Linyuan shook his head. "I simply do not understand why your External Beast Martial Soul would give you such an overwhelming boost in physical attributes."
"Your physical condition is not inferior at all to a Power Attack System Spirit Master of the same level. It may even surpass them."
"I'm not too sure about that either..." Lin Mo replied with a smile, brushing the matter aside.
Hearing that, Ye Lingling quietly let out a breath of relief as well.
"Then let's go," Ye Linyuan said, waving his hand. He directly stored the Crimson Blood Sub Dragon's corpse in his storage Spirit tool.
"Although this little dragon's cultivation was not especially high, it was still a rather rare Sub Dragon Spirit Beast. Its meat is also quite good."
"It should provide a decent nourishing effect for you."
Seeing that Ye Linyuan had no intention of continuing to question him, Lin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, he and Ye Lingling followed behind Ye Linyuan and left the Soul Hunting Forest together.
