Chapter 2, First Soul Ring!
"I still need to awaken my mind-based abilities. Later, I'll find an opportunity to pry the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record from Tang San. Although it's a martial arts technique, the abilities like the Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Crane Control and Dragon Capture, and Ghost Shadow Tracking are quite good."
"Tsk, time is of the essence. Tang San's gone to Shrek Academy; I need to use the herb redemption code as soon as possible."
"Oh right, and there's also the martial soul development path. Since it's a body-based martial soul, the main focus should be on strengthening the body, with other abilities as support. A mage who doesn't want to engage in close combat isn't a good mage..."
Having made up his mind, Yang Guang headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although he was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless level 10 Soul Master who had absorbed a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone, he was still a mid-level Wind Mage, and dealing with ordinary hundred-year-old Soul Beasts was a piece of cake for him.
After trekking for more than half a month, Yang Guang finally arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Hiss, which kind of spirit beast should I choose as my first spirit skill?"
Yang Guang was in a dilemma. He wanted high-level soul beasts, but with his current abilities, he couldn't defeat them. He didn't care about low-level ones, and most importantly, he knew very little about soul beasts.
"How about we find Guzhu and set up pole vaulting?"
"...Forget it then, I might as well find a spirit beast like a lion, leopard, or bear to get my first spirit ring."
While muttering to himself, he used the flight ability of his right leg bone to search for soul beasts at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He had seen many soul beasts such as the Soft Bone Rabbit and Blue Silver Grass, most of which were around a hundred years old.
Yang Guang searched for five whole days but still couldn't find a suitable soul beast.
"roar--"
Just as the sun was shining brightly, a roar suddenly exploded in front of us.
Yang Guang was slightly taken aback, then quickly concealed his aura and hid in a towering tree.
Peeking half his head out from behind the tree, Yang Guang saw a bear-like spirit beast chasing several wolf-like spirit beasts in the distance.
Dark golden fur...hiss, could it be a Dark Golden Devilclaw Bear?
Upon seeing the approaching shadow of the dark golden giant bear, Yang Guang couldn't help but marvel. A hundred-year-old dark golden dinosaur bear could rival a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Wait, I remember that a hundred-year-old Titan Giant Ape could fight against an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.
However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is probably stronger than the Titan Ape.
Moreover, the wolf-type soul beasts being chased by this dark gold dinosaur were only ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
"Good heavens! Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears have appeared on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest! Doesn't the Bear King care about his own tribe?"
"Hehehe, if that's the case, then my first spirit ring is settled!"
Yang Guang didn't care about anything else now. He was worried about not having a first spirit ring, and now a dark gold dinosaur claw bear had offered itself up to him. Why not take it?
Wind Track - Drifting Shadow!
Soon, a blue aura surged around Yang Guang, and his figure suddenly appeared to the side of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
"roar!!!"
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear suddenly roared, then turned around and swung its giant claws toward Yang Guang.
Facing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack, Yang Guang remained calm. With a light tap of one foot and the help of the wind, he easily dodged the claw strike.
The wolf-like spirit beasts that were being chased by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear also took this opportunity to disappear into the dense forest.
"roar!!!"
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared furiously, waving its claws, and a dark gold light shot straight toward Yang Guang.
While dodging the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attacks, Yang Guang compared it to demons.
"It's much weaker than a regular one-eyed wolf..."
Ice Vines - Cover!
Taking advantage of the distance created by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Yang Guang decisively cast a level 3, beginner-level ice spell.
In an instant, a cold wind swept through the area within a radius of dozens of meters, and white frost covered everything. Even the dark golden fur of the century-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was covered with white frost, and its movements became sluggish.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just then, the air became incredibly heavy, making it hard to breathe. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding air began to surge wildly.
The wind howled, and the turbulent air currents gradually began to rotate at high speed.
A dozen seconds later, a white-tinged tornado appeared in front of the dark gold dinosaur bear, a truly shocking sight!
Wind-type mid-tier level 1 magic, Wind Disc - Tornado!
The tornado forcefully pulled the dark gold dinosaur bear into the air, tossing it more than twenty meters high.
Among them, the powerful tearing force of the wind disc continuously damaged the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body surface defense.
A moment later, the battered and bruised Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear crashed heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of mud.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, Yang Guang immediately used Ice Vines to bind the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body.
"Take this final blow!"
He pulled a dagger from his four-dimensional chrysanthemum pocket and plunged it viciously into the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's head.
"You stinky bear, take a deep breath. Feeling dizzy is perfectly normal!"
After the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear died, a dazzling bright yellow spirit ring with a slight purple tinge appeared.
Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth the hard work of controlling the spell; otherwise, he might not have been able to cast this intermediate-level spell.
He didn't know exactly how old this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was, but it had absorbed a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, and its Martial Soul was still its original Martial Soul. Absorbing such a hundred-year-old Soul Ring would be a piece of cake for it.
"It's not that difficult..."
Before the spirit ring dissipated, Yang Guang used the wind tracks to quickly survey the area within a three-kilometer radius. After confirming that there were no potential threats, he returned to the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, sat down, and began to absorb the spirit ring.
Yang Guang quickly entered a meditative state, and the bright yellow soul ring transformed into a wisp of light that merged into his body, giving him a faint yellow hue.
It didn't take long for Yang Guang to absorb the century-old soul ring.
"It's actually a soul skill enhancement... A 50% increase in all attributes, not bad."
Yang Guang carefully felt the effects of his first soul skill. His martial soul was himself, so this first soul skill was just right.
Moreover, after absorbing this soul ring, his soul power level immediately reached level seventeen.
After all, he had already absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone before absorbing his first soul ring, so it's not surprising that his soul power level reached level seventeen after absorbing the soul ring.
"It's about time to leave..."
After stretching his limbs slightly, Yang Guang's gaze involuntarily fell on the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Yang Guang swiftly dissected the carcass of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, wrapped the cut meat in his coat, and left the rest that he couldn't take with him.
"The magical world, I'm back!"
"Take me back quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a silver-gray curtain instantly engulfed Yang Guang's body.
In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood.
……
Shanghai, resettlement area.
"I'm finally back."
Yang Guang stretched and then put the bear meat and bear paws he had wrapped in his coat into the refrigerator.
After taking a nice shower, Yang Guang sat on the bed playing on his phone.
"Wow, the proportions of time flow rates are actually quite similar?"
