Chapter 35 Second Soul Ring - Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger
Seeing that his son had made up his mind, Yang Zhentian breathed a sigh of relief. His son's second spirit ring was finally settled.
"Son, stay where you are and be careful. This Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger is very dangerous. I'm going to deal with it now."
After Yang Zhentian finished speaking, the Soul-Breaking Spear appeared in his hand, and his seven soul rings lit up. He then rushed towards the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger and thrust the spear at it.
However, Yang Zhentian's fierce attack missed its mark, and the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger disappeared and reappeared several dozen meters away.
Immediately afterwards, the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger let out a roar and pounced at Yang Zhentian. During the pounce, the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger flashed and appeared next to Yang Zhentian, and a huge tiger claw slammed directly at Yang Zhentian.
Yang Zhentian raised his spear to block, but was actually forced back a fraction of an inch by the force of the blow. As expected of a top-tier soul beast, its combat power was terrifying. Keep in mind that Yang Zhentian was already a high-level Soul Saint; he could easily kill even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, let alone a soul beast less than a thousand years old.
Yang Zhentian seemed a little annoyed. He, a Soul Saint, had failed to kill a tiger less than a thousand years old with a single blow, and instead the tiger had launched a counterattack.
Before the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger could teleport again, Yang Zhentian quickly raised his spear and thrust it at the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger once more. The Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger seemed to know how powerful Yang Zhentian was. It roared and used all its strength to block, but it was still injured. There was a very large stab wound on its back, and blood was flowing freely.
But Yang Zhentian didn't care about the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger's injuries. If he hadn't been afraid, that shot would have killed him directly, and the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger would have been pierced through.
Yang Zhentian then swiftly thrust at the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger again. This time, the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger finally teleported away. However, just as it finished teleporting, a Soul-Shattering Spear flew directly from the sky, piercing through the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger's body and pinning it to the ground.
The purple-eyed demonic tiger was pinned to the ground, barely alive, bleeding profusely, and beyond saving.
"Son, it's all ready. Get ready to come and kill this purple-eyed demon tiger with your own hands."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi quickly rushed to his father's side and used his Soul-Shattering Spear to pierce the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger's eye, instantly killing it. Immediately afterward, a yellow soul ring appeared above its corpse.
Yang Zhentian looked at his son with some concern: "Son, you need to think this through. This is a spirit ring that is nearly a thousand years old, which is far beyond the upper limit of spirit rings that ordinary spirit masters can absorb."
"Dad, don't worry, you should know my physical strength. Absorbing this spirit ring shouldn't be a problem."
Immediately afterward, under Yang Zhentian's worried gaze, Yang Podi sat down next to the corpse of the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger and began to absorb the soul ring.
During this soul ring absorption process, he also experienced great pain. His entire body felt as if it were in a sea of fire, with countless soul powers surging into every cell of his body. Yang Podi just silently endured it.
This soul ring absorption took a full three hours. After the absorption was complete, Yang Podi felt incredibly refreshed. At this moment, the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand had two yellow soul rings, and in his mind, a giant was shown holding the Soul-Breaking Spear with two soul rings on the shaft. The giant seemed to have become much stronger.
After absorbing the power, Yang Podi summoned his Soul-Breaking Spear Martial Soul. He felt that the entire Soul-Breaking Spear had become much heavier, with the weight of the spear exceeding three hundred jin. Yang Podi's physical strength had also increased considerably.
Seeing his own Soul-Breaking Spear, Yang Podi couldn't help but think of Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer. During the Soul Master Competition, Tang San was only a Soul Master, but at that time he didn't add any Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Clear Sky Hammer already weighed 500 jin, making it one of the heaviest Martial Souls.
Seeing that his son had finished absorbing the spirit ring, Yang Zhentian couldn't help but ask, "Son, how's this spirit ring? What kind of spirit skills does it have?"
"Dad, this soul skill is really good. Let me show it to you."
Yang Podi stood up, summoned his Soul-Breaking Spear, and two yellow soul rings appeared at his feet. Then, the second soul ring began to flash. Yang Podi raised his spear and thrust it forward with force. A miracle occurred. Yang Podi appeared directly next to a large tree about twenty meters in front of him, and then the entire tree, which was about one meter in circumference, was pierced through.
"Son, your soul skill is quite impressive. What are its specific effects?"
"Dad, my soul skill is called Demon Tiger Annihilation Strike. It allows me to teleport next to the enemy and attack them. When I use this soul skill, the weight and attack power of my Soul Breaker will increase by 50%, and it will consume about 10% of my soul power each time."
"Of course, as my soul power gradually increases, the consumption should decrease. Also, the teleportation distance is currently a maximum of thirty meters. The specific distance is related to the soul power consumed. In the future, the teleportation distance should increase, but it shouldn't be much further."
Hearing his son's introduction, Yang Zhentian was very happy: "Son, I envy your soul skill. It's probably better than many people's thousand-year soul skills, and it's very practical."
"Son, what level is your soul power now?"
"Dad, I'm already at level 22."
"Son, you're really great, you're worthy of being my son."
Yang Podi seemed to suddenly remember something: "Dad, let me ask you a question. How did you determine the location of that purple-eyed demonic tiger after it teleported?"
Yang Zhentian couldn't help but chuckle: "Son, I think you're afraid someone will be able to see through your soul skill."
"You can rest assured, son. You shouldn't encounter an enemy of this level anytime soon."
"Son, remember this: any teleportation-type soul skill will cause fluctuations in soul power during the teleportation process. This includes fluctuations in your own soul power as well as fluctuations in the soul power in the air. Especially at the moment the teleportation occurs, you cannot feel these fluctuations in soul power yet. Normal soul masters can only feel them after reaching the Soul Saint level, or some soul masters with particularly strong mental power."
"Only Soul Saint-level Soul Masters experience a qualitative leap in their spiritual power. Son, you shouldn't encounter an opponent of that level for the time being."
"Furthermore, as your own strength increases, your control over soul power will also become stronger. As a result, the fluctuation of soul power in the air caused by teleportation will become smaller and smaller. So you don't have to worry about this soul skill being discovered at all."
"This is why teleportation-type soul skills are called divine skills, because these types of soul skills do not consume too much energy, but they are difficult to defend against."
After talking for a while, the two began to prepare to leave.
Of course, the two carefully dissected the Purple-Eyed Demon Tiger, but found no soul bone. This left Yang Podi speechless: Tang San could obtain the Eight Spider Soul Bone by absorbing a soul ring beyond his level, while he himself had absorbed soul rings beyond his level twice in a row, yet he had obtained nothing.
