Chapter 5: Absorbing the Soul Ring

Click

As a small branch was trampled off, Old Man Lu stopped, and Lu Ming also realized that the surrounding environment was not quite right, it was too quiet.

Lu Ming and Old Man Lu stood beside the stream, under their feet was a piece of green grass, a few rotten wild fruits, next to the stream was a small karst cave, there were a few pieces of moss attached to the cave, and in front of the cave were a few scattered bones, hanging flies and carrion.

"Xiao Ming, your soul ring has fallen, look at the bones in front of the cave, they are the size of a buffalo, this kind of combat power, how can it be a hundred-year-old soul beast", Old Man Lu touched the slightly fat belly, looking quite satisfied.

"A ten-year-old ghost tiger can kill a buffalo independently", Lu Ming has a black line, and has a new understanding of Old Man Lu's unreliability.

Squeak!

A small and beautiful bird flew out of the cave, all the blue feathers, the short beak, the whole beak is black, only the tip is a bright red.

The top of the bird's head is dotted with colors, like peacock tail feathers, and two small eyes like rubies hang on both sides.

Lu Ming had seen this soul beast in the "Douluo Continent Soul Beast Illustrated Book", a red-beaked lark, extremely aggressive, like to eat animal brain marrow, although it is a bird, but it lives in a cool and dim place like a bat, and the age is judged by the length of the beak and the depth of color.

It's really a blind cat touching a dead mouse, if it's a bird of this size, eating the brain marrow of an animal the size of a buffalo, how to say it, it has to have a hundred years of cultivation.

Lu Ming doesn't have the stunt of clairvoyance, so naturally he can't see the length of the red beak and can't tell the age of the bird. I could only pull the corner of Old Man Lu's clothes and look up at him, hoping that Old Man Lu could tell the age of this soul beast.

Old man Lu looked at Lu Ming, and then looked at the bird intently, the goatee almost rose to the sky, "I'm right, the four-hundred-year-old red-beaked lark, isn't this your soul ring coming."

"Xiao Ming, stand back, let your grandfather catch this little bird back", Old Man Lu let go of Lu Ming's hand, and a black stick slowly appeared in his hand. White, yellow, purple, purple, four auras floated around his body.

The bird felt threatened and flew towards Old Man Lu like an arrow off the string, and Lu Ming hurriedly retreated.

He is not a superhuman child, he can beat tigers and kick buffaloes at the age of six, and he cannot kill a mandala snake comparable to several adult men with his six-year-old body. He couldn't do anything but drag his feet in front of him.

Old man Lu's purple soul ring lit up, and the black stick became a little bigger, and with an earthy yellow light, it smashed forward, facing the flying bird......

Maybe it's because he's too old, or maybe it's because he hasn't experienced such a level of strenuous exercise for a long time, and the battle between Old Man Lu and this little bird is not easy. It took a lot of effort for all the bells and whistles of soul skills to stun the bird.

"Come, Xiao Ming, kill this little bird, your soul ring is it", Old Man Lu led one of the bird's wings with one hand, and gave Lu Ming an ordinary-shaped dagger with the other.

Lu Ming didn't have any psychological burden, took the bird, put it on the ground, and chopped it at the "chicken head" with a knife like killing a chicken, the child's strength was very small, but for a bird with fragile skin, this knife almost cut into most of the neck.

Fortunately, Old Man Lu knocked this "chicken" unconscious, and he was free from any burden.

Lu Ming once bought a live fish in the supermarket and wanted to go home and deal with it, the picture was the word "fresh", but who would have thought that the fish's slippery body and painful struggle could not make him ruthless, and that humble sympathy has been slowly aching.

However, Lu Ming was reluctant to give up the delicious fish soup, so he could only send it back to the supermarket for processing, and only then did he know that the fishmongers killed the fish first to knock the fish unconscious, so that the fish would be killed faster, and the fish would be considered to be a happy death.

As the blood flowed out of the neck little by little, the life of this soul beast also came to an end, and small points of light emerged from the body that was still warm, like fireflies, floating in the air, slowly gathering together, forming a yellow halo.

"You only need to release the martial soul to release the soul power, you can slowly feel the traction, and you can attach a soul ring to yourself, don't worry, I'll show you", Old Man Lu gave a detailed lecture to Lu Ming, who didn't know much about anything for the first time.

Lu Ming released the Book of Truth, and he could feel that there was some kind of attraction between his martial soul and this yellow aura.

Just like a magnet of different levels, the more Lu Ming used the book to get closer to the soul ring, the greater the attraction between the soul ring and the book. After finally approaching a certain limit limit, the soul ring liberated itself, followed the guidance of attraction, and slowly flew towards Lu Ming.

As the soul ring continued to approach, a kind of pressure from the soul ring shrouded Lu Ming's body, and the pressure came from all directions, as if the whole person was sinking in the water, the pervasive water pressure squeezed the body, and the bones of the whole body made a slight sound under this pressure.

Finally, as the pressure continued to increase, the soul ring came to the top of Lu Ming's head, and then suddenly contracted, turning into a ring slightly larger than the Book of Truth, and put it on it.

Lu Ming only felt that his entire body was as painful as if it had been forcibly dissected and poured with magma, it was obvious that the soul ring was not only directly acting on the martial soul, but the rebirth of the martial soul under the effect of the soul ring affected the evolution of other parts of the body.

This kind of evolution can be called devastating, like breaking apart and grinding pieces of skeletal muscles and reorganizing them again, and the scorching soul power gradually merges into the body in this reorganization, transforming the body.

This kind of transformation is not only to enhance physical fitness, but also to allow the body to accommodate more soul power in the process.

"Xiao Ming, endure the pain and try to ensure that you are conscious, this will be good for you", the old man Lu looked at Lu Ming with a hideous face, pacing back and forth, the goatee was not angry, and he looked worried.

Lu Ming heard Old Man Lu's words dimly, and his body couldn't give any feedback when he fused from the soul ring, and he couldn't get out of it by shouting to relieve the pain he received.

Lu Ming had no choice but to keep his consciousness from being overwhelmed by pain by constantly calculating. It was as if he saw a torrential rain in his agony, a storm that destroyed the world.

With this infusion of flame-like power, the aura of the Book of Truth is constantly changing, becoming more violent, disorderly, and chaotic.

After an explosive final madness, the whole painful process was over, and he seemed to hear the sound of rain falling, and bursts of cool and gentle air flowed throughout his body, and all exhaustion and pain disappeared everywhere he passed.

The comfort of the body after absorbing the soul ring is something that Lu Ming can't describe in words, just like the body is soaked in warm water after exhaustion and work, the serotonin in the brain is constantly secreted under this refreshing feeling, and dopamine is constantly colliding between the receptors.

After all the dust settled, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, dusk had already fled when Lu Ming fused the soul ring, at this time the sky was full of bright moon, under the moonlight, Old Man Lu squatted in front of Lu Ming, vigilant of the surrounding movements.

Lu Ming saw the old man Lu who was guarding him, and called softly, "Grandpa." Old man Lu shook his head violently, and turned around, "Xiao Ming, you've finished absorbing it, hurry up, let's go back, go back and experiment with the soul ring again, I'm about to starve to death, the dry food sold outside is really unpalatable......"

Old man Lu stood up, spit, rubbed his blessed belly, pulled up Lu Ming and returned along the road under the moonlight, Old man Lu was still humming an unknown song as he walked, and kept muttering the words "Hundred Years Soul Ring" and "Promising Soul".

On the way back, Lu Ming could clearly feel that his body had changed, it was lighter, and his body seemed to have grown a little taller, and the whole change was a panacea for him.

At night, the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest is very quiet, only a very small number of nocturnal soul beasts will go out, strange shrimp emitting a little shimmer by the stream, fluorescent insects fly in the air from time to time, and mushrooms on the side of the road......

The periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest was almost all a world of light, just like a lantern festival, and all the soul beasts showed their treasures in this grand event......

"Grandpa, go slowly, I'll tell you a secret, if you don't tell others, I'll tell you"

"Oh, my Xiao Ming has grown up, and he has his own secrets, let's say, which girl do you like this time", the old man Lu bent the corners of his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he laughed.

"No, no, of course not, if you promise not to tell others, I'll tell you", Lu Ming had to admire the children's education in Douluo Continent, they seemed to prefer to let their children find a childhood sweetheart from an early age, and wait until they reached the age of sixteen to become an adult.

But I'm six years old, six years old, when I was six years old, I could only pee and mud, why is it that the "me" on the Douluo Continent is strange, what is the little head of the original owner thinking about all day long!

"Okay, good, I promise not to tell others", Old Man Lu still had a wicked smile on his face

"I'm actually a twin martial spirit," Lu Ming said as he unleashed the quill martial spirit.

"Right, the girl of the old Li family...... What, you are a twin martial spirit", Old Man Lu took Lu Ming's hand and observed it carefully, his mouth opened and his pupils dilated.

"Oops, I really don't know how to accumulate the blessings, Xiao Ming is actually a twin martial spirit, Xiao Ming will definitely be able to become a big man", Old Man Lu muttered to himself, while still flicking his goatee.

"I have to tell our neighbors the good news and celebrate", Old Man Lu hammered his hand hard.

"Oh, you promised me that you wouldn't tell anyone else, I wouldn't tell you if I knew this", Lu Ming was very afraid that Old Man Lu would make a big announcement, just like the awakening of the martial soul before, Lu Ming was not good at getting along with all kinds of elders who were not very familiar.

A pair of eyes stared at Old Man Lu carefully, Old Man Lu was a little stunned by Lu Ming, "Okay, okay, then let's not tell others, anyway, they will know sooner or later, and it will be too late to celebrate when the time comes."

"And Xiao Ming, don't attach a soul ring to him as a second martial soul, wait until you get to Title Douluo and then attach a soul ring to him......", Old Man Lu began to nag at length.
