Although suppressed, Li Qing wasn't discouraged. He immediately injected his soul power into his second soul ring. As the soul power flowed in, the death qi on Li Qing's body completely left him.
They were like swimming dragons, centered around Li Qing, drifting within ten meters of him.
Then, they all exploded, turning into dense mist, forming a giant black mist sphere in the air, enveloping both Senior Dugu Bo and the Life Snowdrop.
"Hiss hiss..."
The Snowdrop once again released a life shield, but the black mist clung to it like a persistent parasite, continuously eroding the shield and making strange noises.
It's worth noting that Senior Dugu Bo was clearly also in the poisonous mist, but he wasn't attacked.
It wasn't because his strength was great and he wasn't afraid of Li Qing's death qi erosion, but because the death qi was under Li Qing's control and wouldn't attack friend and foe indiscriminately.
"Are you capable or not?"
Seeing that Li Qing was taking a long time to deal with the Snowdrop, Senior Dugu Bo couldn't help but show a trace of contempt. They're standing still and you can't finish them off, what the hell are you doing?
It seemed he forgot that he also couldn't break through the Snowdrop's shield at first.
Li Qing ignored Senior Dugu Bo, because he could clearly feel the Snowdrop's vitality rapidly draining, making him not even want this soul ring anymore.
Otherwise, if it gave him a life shield, wouldn't that be disastrous?
What's the point of a shield that comes at the cost of consuming one's own vitality, no matter how strong it is? Human vitality cannot be compared to that of life-type soul beasts.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Because he was very curious what the life shield would evolve into after being converted into a death-type soul skill, and it wasn't necessarily guaranteed to obtain the life shield soul skill.
"Are you capable or not?"
Seeing that he was taking a long time to deal with the Life Snowdrop, Senior Dugu Bo was slightly impatient, but he seemed to have forgotten that he himself couldn't break through the other party's shield at first.
"Stubborn vitality, huh?"
Li Qing murmured as he flew in front of the Life Snowdrop, injecting soul power into his Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, and then extended his right hand to press on the white shield.
A terrifying suction force emanated from Li Qing's palm, and the Life Snowdrop's vitality began to drain frantically.
Dense vitality poured into Li Qing's body, spreading to every corner of his body. Any cells that had even a tiny problem were healed wherever it passed.
However, Li Qing wasn't injured, so the consumption of that dense vitality was almost zero.
"Senior Dugu Bo!"
Li Qing extended his left hand and called out to Senior Dugu Bo.
Although Senior Dugu Bo didn't understand what Li Qing was trying to do, he still came closer, only to see Li Qing grab his right hand. Immediately after, a massive surge of life force poured into his body.
What kind of joke is this?
Senior Dugu Bo's eyes widened, feeling somewhat unbelievable.
Martial Soul evolution was ultimately just a change in the Martial Soul; his old injuries were not healed during that Martial Soul evolution. But at this moment, under the nourishment of that life force, they actually showed signs of improvement.
Although the effect wasn't obvious, it was indeed effective.
One must know that his old injuries were not external wounds, but rather caused by the erosion of his former Bilin Snake Emperor Martial Soul. He had sought out many healing Soul Masters who all said they were helpless.
He originally thought he would have to wait until Ye Lingling grew up to have a chance to be healed, but he never expected that Li Qing, only at the Grand Soul Master realm, would achieve it.
He knew that Li Qing had obtained a twenty-thousand-year life-type soul bone, but wasn't the effect of this soul skill a bit exaggerated? Someone who didn't know might think it was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
Li Qing acted as a bridge, continuously devouring the Life Snowdrop's vitality and transmitting it into Senior Dugu Bo's body to heal him.
As time passed, the leaves and flowers of the Life Snowdrop gradually turned a little yellow, clearly unable to withstand it, as it was only a ten-thousand-year soul beast after all.
Finally, the Life Snowdrop completely withered, literally drained dry by Li Qing.
As a black soul ring rose from its root, Li Qing released Senior Dugu Bo's hand, then pulled out its corpse and brought it to the ground with the soul ring.
Li Qing didn't say much, directly sat down cross-legged and began to recover his state.
As for Senior Dugu Bo, he carefully sensed his body. His right hand had basically completely recovered, but there was no change in other parts of his body besides his right hand.
However, this already made him very satisfied.
Since Li Qing could heal his right hand, he could naturally heal all the old injuries on his body, but this kind of treatment seemed to require life-type soul beasts as medicinal ingredients.
But that wasn't a big problem.
Aren't there as many soul beasts as you want? A ten-thousand-year soul beast could heal one of his arms; a thirty or forty-thousand-year one should be able to completely heal him.
After all, for every ten thousand years a life-type soul beast grows, its vitality doesn't just increase by a small amount.
"Huh?"
Senior Dugu Bo suddenly froze, because after Li Qing recovered his state, the Martial Soul that appeared behind him was no longer a Raven, but an unknown white bird-like Martial Soul.
"Wait!"
Senior Dugu Bo hurriedly stopped Li Qing, because he mistook the mysterious bird for a twin Martial Soul. How could a twin Martial Soul start attaching soul rings so early?
"It's not a twin Martial Soul, just another form of my Martial Soul."
Li Qing seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he offered an explanation, which left Senior Dugu Bo stunned, as he had never heard of such a situation.
How could one Martial Soul have two forms?
"Then it's fine."
Senior Dugu Bo said with a face full of regret.
Li Qing nodded slightly, then guided the black soul ring closer to himself, finally putting it on, officially beginning to absorb his third soul ring.
The first hurdle for a ten-thousand-year soul ring is soul power impact.
This was not difficult for Li Qing, because his physique and meridians were strong enough. No matter how fierce the soul power impact was, it couldn't shake him in the slightest.
Then came soul vibration.
So-called soul vibration is spiritual power impact. Li Qing only felt the Life Snowdrop's lingering will, like a tide, impacting his spiritual power wave after wave.
If his spiritual power wasn't strong enough, he would probably instantly become an idiot, or even directly brain dead.
Although his spiritual power had undergone a qualitative transformation with the help of the 'Looking Through Autumn Water Dew', it was still uncomfortable at this time, but not as exaggerated as he imagined.
That kind of discomfort was like a high fever and headache; although it was frustrating, it wasn't fatal.
From this perspective, eleven thousand years should not be his limit. Unfortunately, he couldn't turn back now and could only consider increasing the limit when he got his fourth soul ring.
The soul vibration came and went quickly.
The Life Snowdrop's lingering will dissipated, and the soul ring absorption was nearing its end. As the level 30 bottleneck was broken through, his physique was once again baptized, and his soul power level began to climb.
Level 31, Level 32, Level 33...
Arthur: I see many people talking about flying. I'll respond here uniformly: In Douluo Dalu 1, Martial Souls do not have flying ability, nor are there flying soul skills. Even Title Douluo cannot fly.
Soul Saints being able to fly is a setting from Douluo Dalu 2 and fanfiction.
The Blue Silver Emperor itself cannot fly, yet the soul bone gave Tang San a flying soul skill. This is what San Shao did to give Tang San a flying cheat.
