"Mhm." The sudden impact made Quanyi groan involuntarily.
This was a violent energy he had never experienced before. However, Quanyi's body did not budge in the slightest. His strong and tough body firmly controlled the Soul Power within him.
Although the Soul Ring's energy was violent, its total amount was still less than the Soul Bone's energy.
Once he got through the initial impact, the rest would be easier.
Quanyi was familiar with the process of circulating the surging Soul Power along the prescribed route.
Everything was in order.
Quanyi had accumulated a lot of experience in absorbing Soul Rings.
In particular, the current Soul Power circulation route, after a whole year of improvement, increased the speed of absorbing Soul Power by twenty-five percent.
Quanyi was able to increase his Soul Power by about four levels a year. Besides the Simulated Environment, the biggest contributor was the Soul Power cultivation method Quanyi had summarized.
And this cultivation method also had miraculous effects on absorbing Soul Rings.
The Soul Ring absorption lasted for six or seven hours, and the whole process went without a hitch.
The Soul Ring completely merged into the Martial Soul, marking the successful absorption of the Soul Ring.
"How is it? Do you feel any discomfort?" Su Ling'er asked with concern.
"No. Moreover, the whole process was like a natural progression, without much pain."
The abundant Soul Power and powerful body brought an unparalleled sense of fulfillment.
"Tell me quickly, what kind of Soul Skill did this Soul Ring bring you?" Quan Yue asked curiously.
The Exploding Flame Giant Bear of more than seven thousand years, with its strength alone, had surpassed most ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, and its Soul Skill must be very powerful.
"My Third Soul Skill is called Scorching Ray. It's the skill that the Exploding Flame Giant Bear used at the very beginning."
As he spoke, Quanyi put on the Blazing Sun Gauntlets on his right hand, then stretched out his index finger and pointed it at the opposite side of the pool.
"Shoosh!"
The moment his index finger was raised, a scarlet ray shot straight at the tree on the opposite side of the pool at the speed of light.
The long and straight ray extended from Quanyi's fingertip all the way to the opposite side of the pool.
It reached a distance of nearly a hundred meters in an instant, and the tree on the opposite side was instantly pierced.
Quanyi was slightly startled and pointed his index finger slightly downward.
The Scorching Ray followed the movement of his finger, and wherever the ray passed, whether it was the earth or the rocks, it was easily cut through. When it touched the water surface, it stirred up smoke.
Quanyi continued to point his finger downward, and the scarlet ray shot into the pool, illuminating the pool with a red light.
After maintaining it for a few seconds, Quanyi immediately retracted the ray.
This Scorching Ray was the same as the heat ray in Quanyi's memory, except that he needed to use his hand to fire it.
"Instant cast."
Seeing the skill that Quanyi displayed, Quan Yue said in surprise.
"Yes."
"Such a powerful skill, and it's still instant cast. And this distance and power are comparable to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill. As expected of a seven-thousand-year Exploding Flame Giant Bear." Quan Yue clicked his tongue.
"Gentlemen, I know you are all very satisfied, but let's leave here first. We can study it carefully when we get back." Su Ling'er reminded.
This was close to the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, not a safe place.
"Well, this is not a place to stay for long, Xiao Yi, let's go."
The three of them replenished some water, and then the group left without delay.
Before leaving, Quanyi looked at the corpse of the Exploding Flame Giant Bear reluctantly.
The Soul Beast Meat of more than seven thousand years must taste very good.
Thinking of this, Quanyi's saliva was about to flow out.
What a pity! Killing Soul Beasts was easy, but transporting Soul Beasts was difficult.
The massive size of the Exploding Flame Giant Bear made it a pipe dream to carry it out of the intricately complex forest with its lack of wide paths.
Moreover, even if they could carry a small portion, the scent would attract attacks from other Soul Beasts.
This is why there's a shortage of high-year Soul Beast Meat on the market.
On the way back, the three no longer needed to search, so their speed increased several times over.
They quickly fled the Star Dou Great Forest in a straight line.
Three days later, the group finally emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Stepping out of the forest, they breathed a collective sigh of relief.
For the past month, the three had lived in constant fear, taking turns keeping watch even while sleeping. Even though all three were powerful Soul Masters, they had inevitably accumulated some fatigue.
The three of them pressed on and made it back to the hotel before dark.
The next day.
Inside the hotel's largest room, the three, refreshed after a night's rest, gathered together again.
They sat around a circular wooden table, their eyes fixed on the crystal ball on the table.
"Come on, let's test your current Soul Power level." Quan Yue's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Quanyi was also very curious. Under the expectant gaze of his parents, Quanyi reached out and touched the crystal ball.
Instantly, the crystal ball burst into light.
"Level 35! Am I seeing things?" Su Ling'er shook Quan Yue's shoulder vigorously.
"This is a seven-thousand-year Soul Ring, so such an increase is only to be expected," Quan Yue said, appearing much calmer than Su Ling'er.
"Father, it's not just the Soul Ring; the energy of the Soul Bone hidden within my body is also playing a role," Quanyi continued to explain.
While absorbing the Soul Ring, the energy of the Soul Bone that had been restricted within his body was simultaneously released, increasing Quanyi's Soul Power level considerably.
Generally, a Soul Elder only reaches level 31 after absorbing a Soul Ring, but Quanyi had actually risen five levels, directly shortening the time by two or three years compared to others.
It was nothing short of terrifying.
"What exactly is the effect of your Soul Skill?" Quan Yue continued to ask.
Now that they had tested his Soul Power, it was time to discuss his Soul Skill.
Last time, they had only caught a fleeting glimpse and hadn't had time to explore it in detail.
"My Third Soul Skill, Scorching Ray, is an instant-cast Soul Skill. It shoots out a highly condensed ray of fire through the Gauntlets. The ray's range is nearly a hundred meters. You've already seen its speed and power. If I add the Fire Spirit Body and Dark Flame Power, its attack range and power can increase even further."
After formally listening to Quanyi's explanation, Su Ling'er and Quan Yue couldn't help but gasp.
"This Soul Skill is too terrifying," Quan Yue said, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Last time, the Exploding Flame Giant Bear's Soul Skill had been easily blocked by Quan Yue, but that was because Quan Yue had struck first. The Exploding Flame Giant Bear's attack had been launched to block Quan Yue's attack.
If the situation were reversed...
Under the Exploding Flame Giant Bear's attack, they might have been cut in two without any ability to resist.
Hearing Quanyi's description again, the three of them felt a wave of lingering fear.
"Ultra-long attack range, instant cast, ultra-strong attack power. As a Power Attack System Soul Skill, it's practically perfect," Su Ling'er praised.
"However, it consumes too much Soul Power. With my current Soul Power, I can only sustain it for ten seconds at most," Quanyi said with some regret.
At the time, Quanyi had just finished absorbing the Soul Ring and was at his peak Soul Power.
But in just three or four seconds, Quanyi's full Soul Power had been depleted by more than a third.
