Inside the secret room, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Liu Yuan took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing rhythm to bring his body and mind to their optimal state.
He extended both hands, gently covering the carving knife that had turned entirely emerald green and was emitting a dense aura of life.
"Let's begin."
With a thought, the spirit power within his body circulated, and a suction force erupted from his palms.
Buzz—!
In an instant, the gold of living beings seemed to find an outlet, transforming into an indescribably majestic torrent of life that surged frantically into Liu Yuan's body through his arms.
That was no ordinary power; it was the most fundamental life force of this world!
If it were an ordinary Spirit Master facing such a massive infusion of energy, their Meridians would likely have been unable to withstand it and burst.
But Liu Yuan's body was special, far beyond what an ordinary person could compare to.
Even so, he still felt a wave of swelling pain throughout his body.
Every cell was awakened at this moment, greedily devouring this external life force, undergoing rapid division and reorganization.
A faint green light surfaced on his skin, and his bones emitted a series of crackling sounds, as if he were undergoing a complete physical transformation.
The Meridians within his body were widened, becoming tougher and broader, while spirit power surged and roared within them like a great river.
Time passed minute by minute.
One hour...
Two hours...
A full three hours passed.
When the last bit of emerald green light was completely absorbed into Liu Yuan's body, the once-dreaded spirit devouring fierce blade had completely turned into common iron, losing all its luster, and then crumbled into powder in Liu Yuan's hands, scattering on the floor.
"Phew—"
Liu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint shot out, making the entire secret room seem to brighten for a moment.
He stood up and casually stretched his limbs.
Crack, crack!
A series of popping sounds like beans roasting rang out, and a never-before-felt sense of fullness and power surged through his entire body.
He felt that his current life force within his Physical Body was not just a little bit stronger than before!
"Such powerful life force..."
Liu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the power surging within him, a look of joy appearing in his eyes.
"As expected of the gold of living beings; it not only strengthened my Physical Body but also directly pushed my spirit power to Rank Fifty-Five!"
In just a few hours, he broke through several Ranks! This was the power of a top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure!
But that wasn't the most important part.
Just then, the crisp notification sound of the System rang in his mind:
[Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully absorbed the gold of living beings. Mission complete!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: One random god-bestowed spirit ring!]
[Note: The age of this spirit ring will automatically match the limit your current Physical Body can withstand (twenty thousand years) and will come with a Primal Kyogre specialty skill!]
It's here!
Liu Yuan's heart jolted, and he immediately chose to claim it.
Buzz—!
With a thought, he quickly discovered that a black spirit ring had suddenly appeared on his Primal Kyogre Spirit.
At the same time, the skill description related to this spirit ring began to surface in his mind.
[Spirit: Primal Kyogre]
[First Spirit Skill: Ice Beam]
[Attribute: Ice]
[Power: 90]
[Description: Fires an ultra-cold freezing beam at the opponent. In addition to causing massive Ice-attribute damage, there is a certain chance of causing the target to fall into a 'Frozen' state, making them unable to act.]
"Ice Beam..."
Liu Yuan carefully savored this newly acquired skill, the smile in his eyes growing deeper.
"What a great skill!"
"This further complements my coverage!"
One must know that in Pokémon type matchups, the Ice-type is famous for its powerful offensive capabilities.
Especially against those thick-skinned Grass-type, Flying-type, Ground-type, and even Dragon-type Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts, Ice-type Moves have super-effective results.
Although his previous skills already had wide coverage, lacking an Ice-attribute attack always felt like something was missing.
But now with Ice Beam, the situation was completely different.
"Moreover, Primal Kyogre's Special Attack base stat is as high as 180."
"It also fits this skill perfectly."
"Not bad, not bad..."
He was extremely satisfied with this harvest.
A twenty-thousand-year spirit ring, plus a powerful control and output skill like 'Ice Beam,' and because he had absorbed another spirit ring, his spirit power Rank had just increased again, rising directly from Rank Fifty-Five to Rank Fifty-Seven.
His strength improvement this time was indeed significant!
...
Liu Yuan soon stood up directly.
Afterward, to better test the power of his 'Primal Kyogre' Spirit,
he even went directly outdoors to properly test his new power.
He arrived directly at the Martial Arts Arena and then found an alloy metal post specifically used for testing the power of Spirit Abilitys or spirit tools, stopping in front of it.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Liu Yuan directly summoned his Spirit.
But this time, what he summoned was not the Mega Rayquaza Spirit he had always used in the past, but the Primal Kyogre Spirit he had recently obtained.
Because there was only one spirit ring, Liu Yuan's Kyogre Spirit looked a bit empty.
Fortunately, the pressure from the Spirit itself was still very powerful.
"Ice Beam!"
He didn't waste any more time and directly aimed at the Alloy Training Post ahead, firing an Ice Beam.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The Ice Beam quickly hit the Alloy Training Post.
Subsequently, the temperature of that Alloy Training Post began to drop at an incredibly terrifying speed, until finally, it was directly frozen into a large block of ice!
Liu Yuan then went to the other side, in front of a spirit tool screen that could show specific data analysis, to check the specific data of his attack.
[Attribute: Ice]
[Power: 5000 (Equivalent to the full-strength strike of a Six-Ring Soul Emperor)]
A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Liu Yuan's face.
"Without any amplification, the lethality is equal to a Six-Ring Soul Emperor's full-strength strike, and it includes control?"
"This is indeed very sweet."
Liu Yuan soon returned indoors.
But he wasn't there to rest; instead, he directly picked up the storage soul tool he had left in the room.
Then, with a thought, he took another item out of the storage soul tool.
Heal Ball!
That's right, this was the same Heal Ball Liu Yuan had used to capture the Snow Empress before.
Although Liu Yuan had just obtained a new spirit ring for Primal Kyogre,
he was still not satisfied.
The System had previously given him two tasks: one was to absorb the gold of living beings, and the other was to subdue the Snow Empress.
Now that he had absorbed the gold of living beings, he had already gained a huge boost.
And he had been dragging his feet on subduing the Snow Empress for a long time.
Thus, he had to hurry up and get this matter settled...
It was also a good chance to see if he could take the opportunity, after obtaining a new spirit ring and Spirit Ability, to break through to Rank Sixty...
