"Grand Prince, why don't you interrupt?"
A long time had passed since Xuan Ming began to absorb the soul ring. At this moment, the soul ring of the Thunder Tiger was still hanging above the Blood Spear Martial Soul, and the energy of the soul ring continued to impact his body.
Looking at Xuan Ming's increasingly ugly expression and his body that had been shaking uncontrollably since the beginning, Ge Long finally couldn't help but speak.
It is very rare for an average soul master's first soul ring to reach about four hundred years old. This eight hundred year soul ring is too much of a stretch even as a second soul ring.
"Wait a little longer." Xue Qinghe said.
"Crown Prince, you know the consequences of failing to absorb a spirit ring," said Ge Long.
The energy shock brought by a soul ring that is too old, even if it is just a little bit more, can sometimes cause the soul master to explode and die!
If we interrupt him now, at most his spirit power will drop and he will be weak for a while, but if we wait a little longer, there will be no chance to interrupt him!
"Wait a moment." Xue Qinghe said.
"Your Highness doesn't care about his life or death, so why should General Ge Long say more?" said the embarrassed third prince sitting aside.
General Ge Long sighed and said nothing more.
Anyway, even if something happened, it would be the eldest prince who would explain to Dugu Bo, it had nothing to do with him.
"This is the first time I see someone absorbing a spirit ring while standing." muttered a little prince.
To absorb a spirit ring, one must sit cross-legged and concentrate all of their mental energy on their martial spirit. This will allow them to better maintain consciousness when the spirit ring energy impacts their body.
But this guy not only stood to absorb the spirit ring, but also kept his spear stuck in the Thunder Tiger. Is this right?
"Could it be..." Xue Qinghe, who was reminded, cast his eyes on the Thunder Tiger pierced by the blood spear.
When a soul master absorbs a soul ring, his body will be tempered by the soul ring's energy, becoming stronger and tougher. This is especially true for beast soul masters. Every time they absorb a soul ring, their physical fitness will skyrocket.
But that is mainly because the martial soul has been transformed under the nourishment of the soul ring energy, which in turn changed the soul master's body. Therefore, the body of a weapon martial soul soul master is far inferior to that of a beast martial soul master.
The originally strong Thunder Tiger's body had now become shriveled, as if all its flesh and blood had been taken away.
Xuan Ming's Blood Spear Martial Soul can "eat people", even he himself will be eaten, so when absorbing soul rings, the martial soul will become stronger with the nourishment of energy, and its appetite should also become bigger.
But compared to before, Xuan Ming's originally thin body was strengthened a lot, just like a normal martial soul absorbing soul rings. He did not become weak because of the martial soul devouring his blood and energy. He was even much stronger than the average weapon soul master after absorbing soul rings.
Could it be that Xuan Ming used the Thunder Tiger to replace himself as food for the Blood Spear?
"Xuan Ming?"
While Xue Qinghe was thinking, Xuan Ming finally opened his eyes, and the soul ring that was originally on the blood spear disappeared.
"Successful?" Ge Long looked over in disbelief.
"Huh!" Xuan Ming let out a breath and felt his body full of strength.
Fortunately, he had let the Blood Spear devour the Thunder Tiger. Otherwise, when the energy of the spirit ring irrigated the martial soul and made the Blood Spear even stronger, he would have been eaten by the Blood Spear with a bigger appetite!
This meal was enough for the Blood Spear to digest for a while.
"monster..."
All the princes were so shocked that they were speechless.
They were in agony after absorbing their first spirit ring for less than 400 years! This guy actually absorbed it for 800 years?
"Level 13?" Ge Long looked surprised.
Normally, after a soul master absorbs a martial soul, his soul power will reach level eleven. However, in some special cases, when a soul master absorbs a limit soul ring, his soul power may increase a little bit, but at most it will only increase by half a level.
This directly increased the level by two...
"You're really good at eating." Xuan Ming looked at the blood spear in his hand.
When the soul ring energy impacted his body, a lot of the energy was taken away by the blood spear. I don't know how delicious this thing will be in the future.
"What is your first soul skill?"
Dugu Yan asked curiously. A first soul skill that has been around for 800 years, isn't it stronger than most people's second soul skills?
"Why don't you just use it and let us see it?" The third prince stood up.
"This is the first time we have heard of this eight hundred year old first spirit ring. It must be very powerful, right?"
"Third Prince, it's getting late. Let's go back first." said Ge Long.
"Your injuries still need to be treated by a healing soul master."
The Third Prince frowned, "I'm not that fragile."
"Third brother, General Ge Long also has good intentions." Xue Qinghe said.
"With good intentions?" The third prince turned to look at Xue Qinghe.
"Brother, didn't we agree not to tell on each other?"
"Third Prince, the eldest prince is also considering everyone's safety." Dugu Yan said.
"Besides, if it weren't for..."
"If General Ge Long hadn't taken action, my brother would not be much better off than me now, right?" said the third prince.
It was obvious that Ge Long had been following them for a long time, which meant that this guy watched him being attacked by the Thunder Tiger, and when the Thunder Tiger was about to attack Xue Qinghe, he took action in time!
Noticing the coldness in the Third Prince's eyes, Ge Long quickly realized that he had been misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Third Prince, just now..."
"You just arrived, right?" said the third prince.
"General Ge Long arrived just in time. If he had come a little later, my brother would have been injured."
"Third brother, you misunderstood." Xue Qinghe said.
"I did misunderstand." The third prince snorted coldly.
What a scheming person!
He seemed to be on good terms with him, but in fact, he had secretly joined his good brother!
I wonder what his father would think when he knew that the commander of his imperial guards had been taken over by the eldest prince!
"…"
"Are you okay?"
Without paying attention to the weird atmosphere at the scene, Ye Lingling walked up to Xuan Ming and asked in a low voice.
"I saw that you were in a lot of pain when you absorbed the spirit ring. Does it still hurt now?"
Xuan Ming shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Although he felt like he was about to explode during the absorption process, fortunately the blood spear forcibly took away part of the energy, which reduced the difficulty of absorption.
"Taller than me..." Ye Lingling subconsciously compared her own height with Xuan Ming's.
Before absorbing the spirit ring, Xuan Ming was actually shorter than her. After absorbing the spirit ring, they both grew taller, but Xuan Ming was obviously much taller than her.
"Okay, Third Brother, stop making trouble, let's first..."
Before Xue Qinghe could finish his words, Ge Long instantly completed the martial spirit possession. With a flash of purple spirit ring, he rushed towards the depths of the forest.
BANG!!!
The huge impact exploded, causing a terrifying air wave, and the aftermath alone knocked many people to the ground.
"Ghost Tiger?"
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and everyone saw the huge figure colliding with Ge Long.
Its entire body was pitch black, emitting a cold and dark aura, and it had fangs nearly half a meter long growing from its mouth, as if it could tear them to pieces with just one bite!
