16: Chapter 16: The Second Soul Ring of 5,500 Years, Spiritual Replication and Fusion!
[Since I broke through Rank 20 and needed a second spirit ring, Teacher Jing Hongchen personally led a team to hunt one for me.
This time, we came to the Star Dou Great Forest.] Star Dou Great Forest.
Led by Jing Hongchen himself, with three Spirit Saint-level guards accompanying us, the lineup was quite luxurious.
After all, this was only to hunt a second spirit ring for Sun Moon Lin Qing.
[Teacher Jing Hongchen said our goal was to find the most suitable mental-type Spirit Beast for me.
After searching for seven days, we finally encountered a top-tier mental-type Spirit Beast, a Silver Beast.] In the dense forest.
A robust Spirit Beast was drinking water by the stream.
Its eyes shimmered with a strange pinkish-purple light.
Silver Beast!
Known as an ancient extinct Spirit Beast, it is a top-tier creature among mental types.
In the original work, the fifth spirit ring of Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes Spirit was a 35,000-year-old Silver Beast hunted in the Star Dou Great Forest.
[This Silver Beast is undoubtedly a very suitable spirit ring for me, but the problem is that its cultivation age is a bit too high.
Teacher Jing Hongchen does not recommend that I absorb it.] “This Silver Beast’s age is at least 5,500 years; it’s too high.” Jing Hongchen looked at Sun Moon Lin Qing.
“Even if you’ve consumed thousand-year whale Glue and improved your physical fitness, 5,500 years is still too risky.” But Sun Moon Lin Qing stared at the Silver Beast with flickering eyes.
[Teacher is right, 5,500 years is too high, but…] “Teacher, I want to try.” Jing Hongchen was stunned.
“What did you say?” “I want to try.” Sun Moon Lin Qing repeated himself; his voice wasn’t loud, but it was exceptionally firm.
“I’ve calculated my body’s physical limits and evaluated the energy characteristics of the Silver Beast’s spirit ring.” “In terms of Mental Energy, I have confidence.
As for my body…” He paused.
“With Teacher here, along with the Class 7 milk bottle and various protective measures, I believe it’s worth the risk.” Jing Hongchen stared at Sun Moon Lin Qing for a long time.
Finally, he took a deep breath.
“Alright, I’ll allow you to try.” “But remember, at the first sign of danger, I will immediately interrupt you.
Even if it ruins your cultivation, it’s better than losing your life.” His voice became incredibly solemn.
Sun Moon Lin Qing nodded.
“I understand.” [Teacher personally took action and easily subdued the Silver Beast.] The power of a Titled Douluo was fully displayed.
With just one palm strike, the Silver Beast lost its ability to resist.
Sun Moon Lin Qing stepped forward and plunged his dagger into its vital spot.
A deep purple spirit ring slowly rose.
The signature color of a spirit ring over 5,000 years!
It was richer and deeper than the purple of his first spirit ring!
[After adjusting my state, I began to absorb this spirit ring.] He sat cross-legged.
The spirit ring settled over him.
Instantly.
“Boom!!!” Violent energy rushed into his body like a flash flood!
“Pfft!” Right at the start, Sun Moon Lin Qing couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood!
The Class 7 milk bottle in Jing Hongchen’s hand lit up, ready to inject Soul Power at any moment.
But Sun Moon Lin Qing gritted his teeth and laboriously raised his hand, making a “wait” gesture.
He was enduring.
[I indeed underestimated the terror of a 5,500-year spirit ring; I almost died.] In the scene.
Blood began to seep from Sun Moon Lin Qing’s body, and his seven facial orifices were bleeding; he had turned into a bloody figure.
His consciousness began to blur, and the scene blurred along with it.
“I can’t…” Jing Hongchen’s eyes sharpened, and he was about to intervene and interrupt.
But just then, at the center of Sun Moon Lin Qing’s brow, the Heavenly Eye suddenly opened on its own!
Silver light flared brilliantly!
A strange ripple spread out.
[I don’t remember anything.
All I know is that the last thing I saw was a flash of silver light, and then I lost consciousness.] The scene went black.
When it lit up again, several days had passed, and he was in the academy’s infirmary.
Sun Moon Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.
Jing Hongchen was sitting by the bed, his expression exceptionally complex.
“Teacher…” Sun Moon Lin Qing spoke with difficulty, his voice a bit raspy.
“Did I…
succeed?” Jing Hongchen remained silent for a long time.
Then, he slowly nodded.
“You succeeded.
The 5,500-year Silver Beast spirit ring…
you absorbed it.” Sun Moon Lin Qing was stunned.
Then, wild joy surged in his heart.
He tried to circulate his Soul Power; his Soul Power Rank was Rank 24!
Two spirit rings rose beneath his feet: one purple and one deep purple!
[I successfully absorbed this spirit ring.
To be honest, even I was surprised.] “This…” Lin Qing no longer knew how to evaluate Sun Moon Lin Qing’s actions.
Not only was he bold enough to absorb a 5,500-year second spirit ring, but he actually succeeded!
“This guy definitely has a cheat!” Perhaps Sun Moon Lin Qing’s Golden Finger is just Heaven-Defying luck.
[After calming my excitement, I began to carefully experience the second Spirit Ability granted by this 5,500-year Silver Beast spirit ring.
It was somewhat unexpected; my second Spirit Ability is called ‘Spiritual Replicate Fusion’!] The narrator’s voice suddenly carried a hint of excitement.
[It sounds somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao’s fifth Spirit Ability, ‘Spiritual Replicate,’ but there’s a big difference.
My Spirit Ability isn’t just a simple one-time copy like Huo Yuhao’s; it involves copying a Spirit Ability and then fusing and stabilizing it!] Lin Qing knew that the fifth Spirit Ability of Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes Spirit, Spiritual Replicate, was obtained from a Silver Beast.
Not only did he know, but he had also carefully studied this ability.
In the original work, this Spirit Ability was quite good.
It could completely replicate an opponent’s Spirit Ability at the moment they used it and store it in the body.
It could then be released at any time when needed.
Moreover, because the replication was completed purely through Mental Energy, it wasn’t restricted by any attributes.
Whether the opponent was fire-type, ice-type, or lightning-type…
as long as the replication was successful, Huo Yuhao could use it.
Of course, the limitations were also obvious.
First, it could only store one Spirit Ability at a time; it had to be released before the next one could be replicated.
Second, the number of replications per day was limited.
The original work didn’t explicitly state how many times, but it was at least three.
“It’s strong, but…
the limitations are also significant.” Lin Qing evaluated it this way in his heart.
It was for one-time use; once used, it had to be replicated again.
But Sun Moon Lin Qing’s was different.
Lin Qing stared at the Post-mortem Recording, his eyes brightening.
[My Spirit Ability has two effects: one is ‘Imprinting,’ and the other is ‘Replicate Fusion’.] [Imprinting: Has the same effect as Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Ability, but the number of imprints is reduced to once per day.] [Replicate Fusion: Can replicate three Spirit abilities released by others and fuse them to create a brand-new Spirit Ability that is most suitable for me.
This new Spirit Ability will be permanently stabilized, becoming the second Spirit Ability of my second spirit ring!] “Replicate three Spirit abilities, fuse them into a new one, and permanently stabilize it?!” This effect is simply too Heaven-Defying!
Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Replicate was just a temporary borrowing; once used, it was gone.
Whereas Sun Moon Lin Qing’s ability, while retaining the first effect, could also directly create a permanent Spirit Ability of his own!
“The difference is just too vast…” Perhaps it’s a mutation caused by an over-limit spirit ring and the fact that the Heavenly Eye and Spirit Eyes are different Spirits.
After all, having a 5,500-year second spirit ring has already broken common sense.
Since the Spirits are different, it makes sense for the Spirit abilities to undergo mutations.
But no matter what, this is definitely a god-tier ability!
Being able to permanently stabilize others’ Spirit abilities and even optimize them through Fusion—if used well, one could obtain an extremely powerful skill!
