Yang Xiong sat cross-legged beside the yellow soul ring, preparing to absorb it. The people around him all wore expressions of extreme worry. After all, this was a soul ring extremely close to the thousand-year level. No one had ever reached this age limit for a second soul ring. If Yang Xiong himself hadn't repeatedly insisted and guaranteed that he would successfully absorb it, perhaps no one would have agreed.
But Yang Xiong himself had already made up his mind. He summoned his Body Martial Soul and simultaneously used his soul power to guide the soul ring, causing it to gradually approach his body.
As the soul ring settled onto his body, a familiar yet strange power rapidly surged into Yang Xiong's body. His entire body felt as if it were about to explode.
But this power was completely different from the first soul ring. If the power from the first time was mysterious and extremely hot, this time it felt like an endless surge of life force injecting into his body. However, the power was also filled with violence; every drop of blood and every cell felt as if they were about to burst open.
After a full three hours, the expression on Yang Xiong's face gradually returned to calm. The people around him finally breathed a sigh of relief. Clearly, the absorption of this soul ring, which exceeded the age limit, had been successful.
Seeing Yang Xiong open his eyes, Yang Lin, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke, "Xiao Xiong, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"
A smile appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Mom, Dad, I feel great right now. I feel like my body has become much stronger."
Yang Xiong carefully felt his body. After absorbing this soul ring with extremely strong power and wood attribute, his entire body seemed to have grown taller. In particular, he felt that his body had begun to possess some kind of life energy, and his recovery ability also seemed to have become much stronger.
Moreover, after absorbing the soul ring, Yang Xiong's soul power reached an astonishing level of twenty-three. This meant that one soul ring had increased Yang Xiong's soul power by a full three levels. One must know that a normal Soul Master could only increase their soul power by one level after absorbing a soul ring. The fact that he increased by three levels this time indicated the strength of the life force and soul power of this Golden Spirit Cypress, and perhaps even the strength of its bloodline.
After returning home, Yang Xiong carefully felt the soul skill he had gained this time.
The second soul skill was called Golden Heart. After using this soul skill, he could quickly recover from injuries on his body and dispel negative status effects, bringing his body to its optimal state. Furthermore, for a certain period of time, he would possess the recovery ability of the Golden Spirit Cypress.
This soul skill looked like a healing-type soul skill, but it was more than just simple healing. When used, the soul ring would inject a large amount of life force into the body. The more severe the injury, the more soul power would be consumed.
Especially the ability to dispel negative status effects and possess the recovery ability of the Golden Spirit Cypress meant that for a certain period of time, he would be like an unkillable cockroach.
Yang Xiong even tried it out. It could dispel the negative effects of ice, fire, and poison on his body. As expected of a top-grade plant-attribute soul beast.
In particular, after absorbing this soul ring, Yang Xiong felt that his strength seemed to have increased by a full thirty percent. This already surpassed the increase from absorbing a normal strength-type soul ring.
Yang Xiong was very satisfied with this soul skill. His combat and survival abilities would be greatly improved in the future. Especially since this soul skill would not become ineffective after reaching the advanced Soul Master stage. It was even possible that the effect of this soul skill would be even better when he truly reached the advanced Soul Master stage.
After absorbing the second soul ring and becoming a Soul Greatmaster, Yang Xiong felt that his soul power had greatly increased again, and he could continue to develop his Rasengan.
Bone Douluo, who had been secretly observing Yang Xiong absorb the second soul ring, was also surprised. He hadn't expected Yang Xiong to actually succeed in absorbing it.
After listening to Bone Douluo's description, Ning Fengzhi was equally surprised. "Uncle Bone, what do you think this Yang Xiong's purpose is? According to you, he didn't experience much pain during the process of absorbing the soul ring. Doesn't that mean that with his physical quality, he could even absorb ordinary thousand-year soul rings?"
"We have also conducted many experiments with Whale Jelly, and the general effect is not as good as Yang Xiong's. Even Rong Rong's second soul ring is only eight hundred years old. Could it be that he has something hidden on him? That shouldn't be the case."
Bone Douluo thought carefully for a while before speaking. "Fengzhi, it seems we have all underestimated Yang Xiong's Martial Soul. Although having the body as a Martial Soul is extremely rare, I have recently learned that in terms of soul power, Yang Xiong is already very good in the entire Class One. He can basically rank in the top five. You must know that he spends a lot of time training his body, while Rong Rong and the others spend more time meditating at home."
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh. "It seems I still underestimated this Yang Xiong. Perhaps he can truly forge a path of cultivation with his body as his Martial Soul."
...
Another month or so passed. This afternoon, Yang Xiong was cultivating alone at home.
He saw Yang Xiong using his soul power to hold a ball in the air with his right hand. Countless amounts of energy poured into the ball, and all the energy seemed to be rotating.
Under the action of this force, the ball rotated rapidly. The entire ball seemed to start to expand. As the rotation speed became faster and faster, the entire ball seemed to be filled with gas. If one looked closely, the surface of the entire ball seemed to be constantly bulging and quickly recovering under the action of the force.
As Yang Xiong injected more and more soul power, finally, just before his soul power was about to be exhausted, the entire ball seemed unable to withstand the internal force pushing it out and directly burst open.
Yang Xiong's face was full of pleasant surprise. "It's done. This third step is finally completed. It seems that it's only a matter of time before I truly research the Rasengan."
The successful phased development of the Rasengan greatly boosted Yang Xiong's confidence. This Self-Created Soul Skill finally ushered in the dawn of final success.
But Yang Xiong himself was also clear that the most difficult part of the Rasengan was the final step, which was to truly shape the soul power and make it truly destructive.
The Rasengan isn't just a simple soul power attack. It's formed by rapidly circulating soul power to create a hurricane-like sphere in the hand, ultimately causing devastating damage to the enemy.
And this is just the basic Rasengan. If energy from a soul ring's attribute is injected into it, the power can almost double. Unfortunately, Yang Xiong has only absorbed a Wood attribute soul ring and a Space attribute soul ring so far. These two attributes aren't suitable for combat using the Rasengan.
Cultivating Distraction Control is the foundation for everything. Only by truly mastering Distraction Control can one achieve extremely precise control over soul power, and only then can one truly multitask and inject the energy of soul rings into the Rasengan.
The Body Martial Soul also has a very significant advantage: after absorbing a soul ring of a certain attribute, one gains a certain amount of power of that attribute. Moreover, the versatile nature of the Body Martial Soul allows multiple attribute energies to coexist within the body without rejection.
If others wanted to learn the Rasengan, they would likely only be able to learn the most basic version, or rather, they wouldn't have as many variations and development potential as Yang Xiong. After all, Soul Masters generally don't have too many attributes when absorbing soul rings.
