Chapter 49: Encountering Shui Bing'er.
"My soul power..."
Ye Xuanming checked himself and found that his soul power level was still at level 31 and had not increased due to this earth-shattering evolution.
"All the energy was used for the qualitative change of your martial soul and soul rings."
Ah Yin cleared up Ye Xuanming's doubts.
"Your natal soul ring has unlimited potential. As long as you continue to cultivate, it can even grow with you for 100,000 years or even longer. What you need to do now is adapt to this power as soon as possible."
"I see."
Ye Xuanming clenched his fist, and an unprecedented feeling of power welled up inside him.
He looked at the somewhat listless Blue Silver King and bowed solemnly.
"Thank you, senior."
"Thank you, Sister Ayin."
"I dare not. Serving the Emperor is our honor," the Blue Silver King said weakly but contentedly.
Ah Yin laughed and said, "There's no need for that. I'm still hoping that Xuanming will become a god and resurrect me."
Ye Xuanming solemnly replied, "I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Ah Yin's smile deepened:
"Xuanming, the energy of the Blue Silver Grass here is abundant, making it the perfect place for you to consolidate the power you just acquired. Stay here for a few more days; it will greatly benefit your cultivation."
Her words were initially light and cheerful, but when she mentioned the words "Blue Silver Forest" and "cultivation," her voice suddenly lowered.
That once unintentional remark echoed in her mind.
"If Tang Hao truly loves you, why doesn't he plant you in the Blue Silver Forest..."
This is her home.
It is the final destination of all Blue Silver Grass.
However, Tang Hao planted her, who had transformed into a seed, in a dark cave behind Holy Soul Village.
Ah Yin's voice disappeared completely.
Ye Xuanming keenly noticed this change in A Yin.
He pretended not to know, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate to strengthen his soul power.
A surge of energy flowed through his body, cleansing his meridians and bones.
He could feel his body undergoing tremendous changes, his bones growing and his muscles becoming stronger.
In just a few days, he grew taller, and his once somewhat immature face became more defined, and his figure became more upright and robust.
During those three days, Ah Yin remained completely silent.
Ye Xuanming sighed inwardly, decided not to disturb her any longer, and began to familiarize himself with his new soul skill.
He raised his right hand, and the Life Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul appeared, along with the third black ten-thousand-year soul ring.
"Third Soul Skill, Life's Praise."
A soft green halo spread from his palm and landed on an ordinary blue silver grass that had withered from contributing energy.
The withered blue silver grass visibly revived, its leaves unfurling and glowing with a blue light, becoming even more robust than before.
The terrifying healing effect surprised even Ye Xuanming himself.
Then, he switched to his left hand, where a dark blue silver grass appeared, along with the third black soul ring.
"Third Soul Skill, Judgment of Life."
A purple-gold blade of grass shot out and precisely pierced the trunk of a large tree not far away.
The blades of grass instantly became ethereal, transforming into countless tiny roots that took deep root within the tree.
The tree began to wither at an alarming rate, its immense life force being frantically drained and transformed into a pure soul force, which flowed back into Ye Xuanming's body along the dark blue silver grass.
Ye Xuanming felt a slight tremor in his heart as he sensed the increasing soul power within his body.
One grants life, the other takes it; this third soul skill is simply ruthless and unreasonable.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Sister Ayin, we're leaving now."
Ye Xuanming spoke softly, but still received no response.
He bid farewell to the Blue Silver King once more, then turned and left the sacred land of Blue Silver Grass.
They headed north, speeding towards Tiandou City.
I've been away for so long, I wonder how Yanzi and the others are doing.
In order to get there as quickly as possible, Ye Xuanming chose a shortcut that required passing through the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With his current strength, plus the suppression of the soul beast's aura by the Blue Silver Domain, as long as he doesn't go too deep, there will be basically no danger in the outer area.
However, not long after he stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest, the earth suddenly began to tremble slightly.
"Um?"
Ye Xuanming stopped and listened intently.
The sounds of running and the roars of soul beasts came from afar, and the birds in the forest flew into the sky in panic.
"A beast tide?"
Ye Xuanming frowned slightly, but judging from the noise, the scale shouldn't be large.
Instead of taking a detour, he crept towards the direction from which the sound was coming.
He wanted to see just how much his combat skills had improved.
He parted a dense thicket of bushes, and the sight before him surprised him slightly.
In an open space, a girl who looked to be about his age was surrounded by seven or eight soul beasts.
The girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with a slender figure, and was wearing a light blue long dress.
She has a cascade of long, blue hair that remains smooth even during intense battles.
Behind her, a phantom of an ice phoenix appeared, and at her feet were two yellow soul rings, clearly indicating that she was a Great Soul Master.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuanming immediately guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
Shui Bing'er from Tianshui College.
However, the weakest of the soul beasts she faced was at least a hundred years old, and there was even a Claw Wolf that was nearly a thousand years old.
Shui Bing'er's soul power was greatly depleted, and her movements were already somewhat slow. Her pretty face was filled with anxiety.
"Bang!"
The wolf seized an opening, smashed the ice shield in front of the girl with a single swipe of its claws, and aimed its sharp claws straight for her throat.
Shui Bing'er paled, but it was too late to cast her Ice Seal again.
At this critical moment, dozens of blue-gold vines burst forth from the ground, instantly weaving into a large net that tightly bound the Claw Wolf.
The wolf with sharp claws struggled desperately, but could not break free even slightly.
Shui Bing'er was stunned.
She turned her head and saw a tall, upright young man slowly walking out of the woods.
Ye Xuanming didn't look at her, but instead raised his hand and waved.
The vines of the dark blue silver grass coiled around the other soul beasts like venomous snakes, their sharp thorns piercing their bodies.
"Third Soul Skill, Judgment of Life!"
Before those hundred-year-old soul beasts could even let out a scream, their bodies withered away at a visible speed, instantly turning into a pile of dry bones.
With a single move, he instantly killed all the hundred-year-old soul beasts.
The girl was stunned.
The thousand-year-old clawed wolf, bound by the life-giving blue silver grass, was still struggling wildly. Ye Xuanming walked over and extended his right hand.
The Annihilation Overlord Spear instantly materialized, its blue-gold tip radiating unparalleled sharpness.
Without the slightest hesitation, he thrust out his spear.
"Pfft!"
The wolf's hard head was easily pierced, just like tofu.
The whole process was smooth and effortless. In just a dozen breaths, a life-or-death crisis for the girl was easily resolved.
Ye Xuanming withdrew his martial spirit and walked up to the girl.
Are you alright?
