"A spirit ring with a super-limited lifespan... it's really not that easy to absorb..."
Even during the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of the Condor Heroes era, the first ring after five thousand years far exceeded the limit that a Soul Master could absorb.
Not to mention a high-quality soul beast like the Evil Eye Tyrant?
Moreover, this five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant was captured from the Demon Forest and sent to Dongyang City, which is thousands of miles away from the Demon Forest.
Now, he has been killed by a six-year-old child, so one can only imagine the resentment in his heart.
In just a few breaths, Xu Tianming's body was on the verge of collapse.
His skin cracked inch by inch, and blood mixed with the out-of-control soul ring energy gushed from his pores, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
However, it was precisely because some of the spirit ring energy was released from his pores that he felt a surge of energy.
"Refine it for me!"
An almost roaring sound was forced out of Xu Tianming's throat.
He changed the hand seals, and his soul power forcefully guided the energy of the soul ring to follow the path of the "Yin Yang Profound Body Refining Technique".
Just as Xu Xiang said, the most dangerous thing about absorbing a spirit ring beyond its lifespan is the first wave of energy impact from the spirit ring.
As long as you can withstand the first wave of spirit ring energy impact, the impact of subsequent spirit ring energy on the spirit master will only become weaker and weaker.
Xu Tianming's meridians, bones, internal organs, and blood were all significantly strengthened by the energy of the 50,000-year-old whale glue.
Although he was in excruciating pain throughout his body, he ultimately did not collapse under the energy of the five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant's soul ring.
The two extreme attributes of the power of the sun and the radiance of the moon correspond to the kidney water (Kan position) and the heart fire (Li position).
Within Xu Tianming's body, it acted like a millstone, crushing the five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant's soul ring energy bit by bit, and finally merging it into his flesh and blood.
"It seems the most dangerous time has passed."
Seeing that Xu Tianming's face still showed signs of pain, but his breathing had calmed down considerably, Xu Xiang slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The right hand, which had been gathering soul power, gradually relaxed.
"Couldn't this child have absorbed a first spirit ring with a lower age limit?"
Kong Yue wiped away her tears as she looked worriedly at Xu Tianming, who was covered in blood.
"Why is this child so determined to risk his life for a five-thousand-year-old soul ring?"
"What if something happens to Mingtian? What will I, as his mother, do?"
Although Xu Xiang could understand his wife's concern for their son, he still couldn't help but scold her in a low voice:
"A woman's view!"
"For a thousand years, apart from Master Kong in the Hall of Worship, only Tianming in my Sun Moon Empire possesses innate full soul power."
Xu Xiang's expression was unusually serious, completely unlike the gentleness he usually showed towards his wife, Kong Yue.
"A mutated original spirit, a celestial phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together... This child is destined to become one of the most powerful spirit masters in our Sun Moon Empire."
"If we prevent him from pushing his limits, he won't achieve much in the future!"
Although Xu Xiang chose to avoid the infighting within the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire and came to Dongyang City, far from the capital, he did not want to cause trouble.
But this does not mean that he does not want the Sun Moon Empire to prosper.
A thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Empire was stopped by many powerful Title Douluos from Shrek Academy in the war to unify the continent. This is the greatest regret in the hearts of every member of the Sun Moon Empire royal family!
Kong Yue pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but the worry on her face deepened.
Absorbing a five-thousand-year soul ring is almost impossible for a level ten soul master.
However, under the interaction of the Yin-Yang Profound Body Refining Technique and the power of the sun and the moon within his body, the five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Ring was still crushed by Xu Tianming, and finally turned into pure energy to nourish his flesh and bones.
Three days passed quietly like that.
During these three days, Kong Yue and Xu Xiang took care of Xu Tianming almost every step of the way.
If Xu Tianming's breathing hadn't been relatively stable, the two of them would have really thought something had happened to him.
Click!
A clear, crisp voice came from Xu Tianming.
Exhausted, Xu Xiang and Kong Yue were instantly energized, their gazes immediately fixed on Xu Tianming.
Suddenly, the scabs on Xu Tianming's body, which had weathered away over the past three days, began to crack.
The two held their breath, staring intently at the ever-growing cracks in the scab.
"call!"
With a long exhale, the scabs covering Xu Tianming's body finally fell off completely.
"What...what is this?"
Looking at the red and blue lights flashing on his son's body, Xu Xiang looked bewildered.
Xu Tianming slowly opened his eyes, and a strong purple aura burst forth from them.
The red and blue shimmering on his skin continued for a moment before slowly fading away.
"Is this what it feels like to obtain a spirit ring?"
Xu Tianming clenched his fist slightly, feeling the powerful force within his body, and raised an eyebrow.
The energy from this five-thousand-year-old soul ring was almost entirely used to strengthen his body, resulting in only a one-level increase in his soul power.
This means that after absorbing the spirit ring, his spirit power level was only level eleven.
"However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the mastery of the first level of the Yin-Yang Profound Body Refining Technique."
"Tianming...?"
A soft exclamation interrupted Xu Tianming's thoughts.
The next moment, he felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was pulled into someone's arms.
"You scared me to death, kid!"
Hot tears fell onto Xu Tianming's forehead, causing his heart to tremble involuntarily.
"Mother, it's alright."
Xu Tianming reached out and gently patted Kong Yue's back a few times, quickly offering words of comfort.
"I am your son, don't you trust your son?"
"You are my son, that's true, but you're not allowed to take such risks again!"
Kong Yue wiped her eyes and scolded Xu Tianming.
God knows how much pressure she's been under these past few days; this is her only son!
"Well done, you've made history."
Xu Xiang then walked up to Xu Tianming and patted him hard on the shoulder a few times.
"Our Sun Moon Empire has never seen the first Soul Ring in five thousand years."
"And your first spirit ring is the Evil Eye Tyrant!"
Xu Xiang's tone was unusually complex; Xu Tianming could detect several emotions in his words, including pride, lingering fear, excitement, and worry.
"My son, Xu Tianming, has the potential to become a Limit Douluo!"
Xu Tianming refrained from saying those words aloud.
"The five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant must have given you a decent soul skill."
After a pause, Xu Xiang asked with some curiosity:
What is your first soul skill?
