Chapter 30, the Second Ring of Ten Thousand Years, the Evil Eye?
The white light engulfed everything.
In that instant, all the sounds of birds, beasts, and insects in the dense forest vanished, as if the entire world had been muted. Even with their eyes tightly closed, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen could still feel the scorching white light piercing through their eyelids.
Even Jing Hongchen, hiding in the shadows, was forced to squint. He instinctively raised his hand to shield his face. If a Title Douluo like him was in such a state, the two wolf kings who directly took the Sun Fist must have been even more vulnerable.
The Golden Wolf King's scarlet wolf eyes were pierced by the pain, and the Silver Moon Wolf King let out a mournful howl. Both ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts fell into a brief state of dizziness at the same time.
Taking advantage of this opening, Ye Chenxing withdrew. Xiao Hongchen opened his eyes and saw Ye Chenxing gesturing to him from afar; he immediately understood.
It's now!
"Bomb it, you bastard!!"
Dense beams of light poured out like a torrential rain, but unlike the previous volleys, this time he used a healing potion to restore mana, increasing the damage several times over. Explosions erupted one after another, the flames illuminated half of the mountain, and the shockwave snapped the surrounding trees in half, sending shards of leaves flying everywhere.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated. The wound on the Silver Moon Wolf King's side, torn open by the Dark Gold Terror Claws, was still bleeding. Now, it had been blasted head-on by the Soul Guidance Cannon, leaving it covered in scorched and mottled patches of its silver fur. It lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.
Although the Golden Wolf King was tough and thick-skinned, it was first blinded by the Sun Fist and then hit head-on by this enhanced firepower. It tried desperately to stand up, but could only weakly dig a few furrows in the ground.
Ye Chenxing stepped forward, conjuring a fireball at his fingertips, and swiftly finished off the Silver Moon Wolf King. A black soul ring slowly rose from the Silver Moon Wolf King's corpse, its light deep and eerie.
Jing Hongchen stepped out from the shadows and casually grabbed the golden wolf king, who was still struggling. The wolf king was knocked unconscious without resistance and stuffed into the living creature storage ring he always carried.
It's not only Shrek Academy that raises spirit beasts; the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy naturally has more scientific and sophisticated breeding methods than Shrek Academy.
"Well done." Jing Hongchen's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, finally settling on Ye Chenxing, his face full of admiration. "That white light just now, if I'm not mistaken, should have been a kind of application of the Ultimate Light, right? You came up with it on the spur of the moment?"
"I'd wanted to try it for a while, and now I finally have the chance."
"To be able to manipulate your Martial Soul so skillfully before even reaching the third ring, I've never seen anything like it in all my years." He paused, then turned to look at his grandson and granddaughter. "You two are the same. I was just thinking that it would be good enough if you didn't hold each other back on your first time working together. I didn't expect the three of you to perform so well. Controlling the poison mist, unleashing firepower, close-quarters assassinations—your division of labor was clear, and your timing was perfect. Your performance today exceeded my expectations."
Xiao Hongchen stood there, his expression a little strange. Ever since Ye Chenxing appeared, he had either been outshone or used as a negative example, feeling frustrated for countless days.
"Well, it's mainly because I dealt a good blow in the last wave of damage."
"Come on," Meng Hongchen bluntly exposed, rolling her eyes at him. "If it weren't for Chenxing's Sun Fist that stunned the two wolf kings, how would you have had time to gather your strength? You would have been swatted away by the Golden Wolf King's claw long ago."
"That was tactical coordination! Don't you even know what tactical coordination is?!"
"Alright, alright, tactical coordination, whatever you say goes."
Jing Hongchen watched the bickering brother and sister, shook his head, but his smile deepened. The three children got along much better than he had imagined.
He turned to look at Ye Chenxing, only to see that the other party had already sat cross-legged in front of the ten-thousand-year soul ring, stretched out his hand, and slowly guided the dark black halo to fall towards him.
Jing Hongchen's hands, which were behind her back, clenched slightly.
Theoretically, it's possible. He repeatedly tested Ye Chenxing's physical strength and mental power values—a level 45 physical body and 4,800 points of mental power. These two numbers would be enough for any Soul Master to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.
But that was his second spirit ring. Historically, the earliest recorded genius to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring was at the fourth ring. To dare to have a ten-thousand-year spirit ring on the second ring—he'd never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.
"I'll just ask you one question," Xiao Hongchen said dryly, "how confident are you?"
Ye Chenxing raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Perfect."
"...Did you hesitate just now? I saw it, you definitely hesitated."
Ye Chenxing smiled helplessly, closed his eyes, and guided the dark black soul ring to slowly descend.
The moment the spirit ring entered the body, a cold, viscous spiritual energy rushed straight to the brain along the meridians.
The expected soul shock associated with a ten-thousand-year soul ring did not occur. The situation when he absorbed his first soul ring was too unusual, but his intuition also told him that something was wrong.
Something, aided by the energy surge of the soul ring, infiltrated his spiritual sea.
......
Having wandered through the bodies of countless soul beasts for hundreds of thousands of years, this is the moment I've been waiting for.
I am an evil eye. To be precise, half of a twin evil eye. At the moment of my birth, my brother turned around and devoured my flesh, using my blood and flesh to complete himself.
But he can't devour my soul.
My spiritual power was stronger than his. At the moment my physical body perished, my consciousness broke free. From then on, I wandered the forest, constantly shifting from one spirit beast to another, parasitizing, absorbing, and waiting. While they lived, I hid in the corners of their spirits, secretly absorbing their spiritual energy. When they died, I devoured their souls and transferred them to the next host. Hundreds of thousands of years. I've parasitized countless batches of spirit beasts, my pure spiritual power has surpassed ten thousand years, yet not a single body has satisfied me.
I also considered possessing a body. But I held back. Possession means a new body, and also new constraints. Once inside that body, I would be confined within it. To exact revenge, I must find a body worthy of me.
Then, on this Silver Moon Wolf King, I saw that boy.
Two rings. He only had two rings, yet he dared to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring. His spiritual power was so vast it seemed inhuman, and his physical attributes far surpassed those of his peers. I've parasitized soul beasts for so many years, and I've never seen a creature with such talent. At that moment, I knew—this was the body of someone like me. As long as I possessed him, with my accumulated strength combined with his talent, given time, nothing on this continent would be able to stop me.
I want revenge.
With this expectation in mind, I plunged into his spiritual sea.
