At this moment, Quan Yi looked radiant.
Moreover, Quan Li could sense a mental fluctuation emanating from Quan Yi.
Quan Li himself only possessed this level of mental strength when he cultivated to the Soul Emperor level.
Quan Li hurriedly walked to Quan Yi and examined his physical condition with concerned eyes.
"Are you alright?" Quan Li asked anxiously.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I've never felt better in my life."
Quan Yi now felt an uncontainable urge to roar at the sky.
He slowly stood up.
He discovered that his originally loose-fitting clothes had become incredibly tight, as if they would burst apart with the slightest exertion.
Moreover, Quan Li, standing in front of Quan Yi, noticed that Quan Yi's height had surpassed his chest.
His height had suddenly increased from just over 180 centimeters to around 190 centimeters.
The surge in muscle mass and height allowed Quan Yi's body to maintain its previous perfect proportions.
However, the changes in appearance were actually the least significant.
Including the powerful mental fluctuations that Quan Li had just sensed.
The formidable aura emanating from Quan Yi made it impossible for him to look away.
Quan Li noticed that the soul power fluctuations emanating from Quan Yi were clearly not those of an early-stage Soul Grandmaster.
It was more like the soul power fluctuations of a mid-to-late stage Soul Grandmaster.
However, more than these things, Quan Li was more concerned about the accident that had just happened to Quan Yi.
"What just happened? There was a period of time in the middle when your body was constantly trembling."
The accident that had just occurred had unnerved even the steadfast Quan Li.
Therefore, Quan Li had to ask about this matter clearly.
Quan Li's gaze was solemn, and the emotions of worry and concern were conveyed to Quan Yi's heart.
Quan Yi chuckled lightly, as if talking about a common occurrence, and replied easily: "Well, it's nothing. It's just that the soul of the deceased Dragonflame Behemoth launched an attack during my absorption of the soul ring.
However, you don't have to worry. With my powerful mental strength, the Dragonflame Behemoth's soul was no match for me at all. In the end, I even ate it."
As he spoke, Quan Yi recalled the deliciousness of the Dragonflame Behemoth's soul, which made him involuntarily lick his lips.
"Eat? You mean you ate the soul that attacked you."
The attack of a deceased soul on a soul master was unheard of in itself, but hearing Quan Yi use the word 'eat' to describe it, Quan Li's heart was filled with confusion.
"Yes. I took advantage of its weakness and ate the remaining part of it. So, I feel that my whole spirit is very full now."
The mental fullness and the surge in physical attributes put Quan Yi in a state of high spirits.
Moreover, the absorption of a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his fourth soul ring was of great significance to him.
This meant that his plan for two hundred-thousand-year soul rings was no longer a pipe dream.
"Soul attack, I've never encountered such a thing in all my years. Fortunately, Xiao Yi's mental strength was enhanced with Green Bamboo Brew before departure, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
This made Quan Yi realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Mental limit?"
"That's right, we previously thought of ten-thousand-year soul beasts too simply. Perhaps, this accident is not an isolated case. If you want to continue absorbing soul rings beyond the year limit in the future, you must pay attention to your mental strength.
Previously, we only tested your physical strength, while neglecting your mental strength."
"To obtain a soul ring of the corresponding year limit, my mental strength level must also reach the corresponding level of the soul master before I can absorb it?"
Quan Yi immediately understood Quan Li's meaning.
"That's right, your physical strength is already unparalleled, especially after absorbing the fourth soul ring, your body has evolved once again. However, your mental strength, relatively speaking, is weaker than the development of your body."
Quan Yi's mental strength was among the best among soul masters of the same level, and even those of a higher level.
Two lifetimes of souls, multitasking, Green Bamboo Brew, all of these have had a profound impact on the growth of Quan Yi's mental strength.
But his physical strength has reached the Soul Saint level.
Therefore, relatively speaking, mental strength is weaker than the body.
Now that it is known that high-year soul rings may launch attacks against the spirit.
Future soul ring absorption cannot only consider the body, but also must consider the element of mental strength.
"By the way, Grandpa, let me introduce you to the effects of the fourth soul ring's soul skill."
Quan Yi tried to shift the topic to soul skills, he didn't want Quan Li to continue worrying about what had just happened.
"My fourth soul skill is called Dragonflame Fury. It is a self-augmentation skill. The effect is that the power of fire, soul power, attack power, defense power, and strength are amplified by two hundred percent."
"Two hundred!"
Quan Li's tiger body shook, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
"As expected of a twenty-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring, the effect of the soul skill can be said to be uniquely blessed."
The twenty-thousand-year Dragonflame Behemoth soul ring was no different from the sixth soul ring of a Soul Emperor, and even because it belonged to a sub-dragon species, its powerful racial attributes were no different from ordinary soul beasts of around fifty-thousand years.
This was also the reason why Quan Yi clearly knew that the year limit had not reached the limit, but still chose the Dragonflame Behemoth.
Among the amplification effects of the fourth soul skill, Quan Yi was undoubtedly most satisfied with the amplification of soul power.
A two hundred percent increase was equivalent to adding two extra gas tanks to Quan Yi.
It brought Quan Yi's chariot a terrifying cruising range.
"What level has your soul power reached now?"
"My current level is forty-five. Moreover, as long as I increase my soul power by another half level, I should be able to rise to forty-six."
Quan Yi replied, feeling the surging soul power within his body.
"Well, forty-five and a half, a bit higher than expected. Is it because the Dragonflame Behemoth has a high talent?"
According to Quan Li's calculations, Quan Li's level after breaking through should be around forty-four, but now, the result has exceeded it by one level.
As soon as Quan Li said this, Quan Yi immediately reacted.
"Grandpa, it should be the effect of that extreme test. The hidden meridians that were opened at that time shone brightly in this soul ring absorption, and directly increased my soul power level."
He remembered the extreme test three months ago. At that time, after opening the hidden meridians of his body, his soul power did have a tendency to increase.
At that time, it was because he was restricted by the bottleneck of the level. Now, the restriction was lifted, and the soul power hidden inside the body was also superimposed, allowing Quan Yi to break through the forty-fifth level in one fell swoop.
Although this soul ring hunt had some twists and turns, it was generally very satisfactory, and Quan Yi was very satisfied.
"Hidden meridians have such an effect, truly not to be underestimated."
