The absorption of the eighth soul ring was a success!
This meant that Huo Wu had finally successfully broken through to the Soul Douluo realm.
The entire scene of the offering looked grand and majestic, but the process was very short and exceptionally smooth, with almost no setbacks.
This showed the level of control the two had over the offering ritual.
This eighth soul ring circling beneath Huo Wu was vastly different from ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
That was because, within the crimson soul ring, there were faint golden halos dotted, giving people a sense of sacred pressure, which was completely opposite to the barbaric aura of other ferocious beasts.
Currently, Quan Yi couldn't control the soul ring as well as he could control a soul bone.
He couldn't directly modify it, and could only indirectly improve the origin of the soul ring by infiltrating soul power.
Therefore, the soul ring was not elevated to the demigod realm.
After completing the sacrifice, the Fire Shadow Martial Soul behind Huo Wu also underwent significant changes.
The solidity of the phantom image increased, and the orange-red Fire Shadow was dyed with a faint golden glow, its color evolving towards orange-gold. The familiar aura of divinity also appeared on the Martial Soul.
However, these auras emitted by the Fire Shadow quietly disappeared without a trace at the same time Huo Wu opened her eyes. The orange-gold phantom image stood quietly behind Huo Wu like a guard with no sense of presence.
Quan Yi walked up to Huo Wu, took her hand, and asked:
"How do you feel?"
Huo Wu now had a more dazed look on her face, as she hadn't fully digested everything that had just happened.
She raised her left hand and made a grasping motion. It was this simple action that made Huo Wu truly feel the terrifying energy contained within her left arm.
He smiled and explained: "The process of sacrifice is inherently the process of shaping soul rings and soul bones. In the past, our focus was on preserving the soul and successfully merging with the Soul Master.
However, these are no longer difficult for us now.
Therefore, I couldn't help but shift my attention to the shaping process of soul rings and soul bones.
Long ago, I discovered that the moment the soul beast's body is transformed into an energy state is the moment of greatest plasticity, just like how soul beasts can change the location of their soul bones on their own.
Since this is the case, could we use this opportunity to add divine power, or other things, during the process of shaping soul rings and soul bones to modify the soul bone itself?
The result is as you see, we were lucky enough to succeed."
Quan Yi's face was relaxed, but Huo Wu knew how difficult it was. A slight carelessness could cause accidents in the entire soul bone and soul ring, which would affect her.
The pressure involved was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
But Quan Yi still endured this pressure and perfectly completed the modification.
Huo Wu couldn't help but throw herself into Quan Yi's arms and whispered, "Thank you, husband."
Quan Yi hugged Huo Wu's delicate body, gently stroking her hair, and softly replied, "You're welcome, this is all I should do."
"By the way, I still don't know the skills of this soul ring and soul bone. Can you explain them?"
After briefly sharing their joy, the curiosity in Quan Yi's heart began to rise.
Although he participated in the shaping of the soul ring and soul bone, he didn't fully understand the skills they each possessed.
Speaking of skills, the corners of Huo Wu's mouth curled up in a slightly smug smile.
"Let's talk about the level increase first.
This breakthrough has increased my soul power level to eighty-fifth level. Such a big improvement is due to the improvement of the soul ring and soul bone."
A five-level increase. It should be known that when Quan Yi accepted the sacrifice of the Golden Jade Furnace Flame Turtle King, he only increased to the eighty-third level.
Considering the energy injected by Quan Yi and the Lieya Sea Lion King's own energy, eighty-fifth level didn't seem like much.
However, the important thing was not the quantity, but the quality. The divine power converted from absorbing external energy was slightly insufficient in quantity, but the improvement in quality was enough to make up for the lack of quantity.
In other words, just looking at soul power intensity, Huo Wu's eighty-fifth level was stronger than ordinary Titled Douluos.
Of course, Quan Yi already knew Huo Wu's current soul power level. The focus was still on what came next.
Huo Wu continued: "Let's talk about the two skills brought by the soul ring first.
The eighth soul ring, first soul skill, Forest of Fierce Fangs, is a skill that integrates group restriction and group attack.
It instantly releases and controls a large range of energy-like fierce fangs to pierce opponents for control or damage.
The second skill is called Golden Mane Protection, which is a powerful single-target defense skill and also a powerful damage reflection skill.
Its effect is to place a golden energy shield around the body. As long as any physical, energy, or mental attack does not exceed the defense limit, 50% of the attack power will be directly reflected back to the attacker.
Moreover, the remaining half of the energy contained in the attack will be absorbed into the shield, extending the skill's duration.
Because it is a single-target defense skill, coupled with the blessing of divine power, the defense of Golden Mane Protection cannot be penetrated unless it is at the demigod level or god level.
Even if the shield is penetrated, it will explode like a bubble, doing its best to reflect part of the attack.
A shield that does not need to absorb energy will exert 100% of its reflection power. However, how much it can reflect specifically depends on the intensity of the opponent's attack and specific analysis."
After listening to the effects of the two skills, especially the latter Golden Mane Protection, Quan Yi directly called it perverted.
Among all skills, damage reflection skills are the most disgusting and the most troublesome.
Imagine, facing a strong enemy, the moment a sure-kill strike launched with all your strength successfully hits the opponent, you will instead suffer damage from your own attack.
And Huo Wu's defense can directly reflect all attacks without harming herself, which basically puts Huo Wu in an invincible position.
This skill has a certain similarity to the Repelling Fire Ring, except that the Repelling Fire Ring can only repel, while the Golden Mane Protection can reflect damage.
"Golden Mane Protection, what a terrifying skill. On the basis of this skill, using Phoenix's Protection, even if someone can really break the defense, they may not be able to compare with your recovery speed.
The stronger the opponent's attack, the higher the degree of self-harm.
Hiss~!
Wouldn't people with poor recovery ability be dragged to death by their own attacks?"
The terrible scenes appeared in Quan Yi's mind, and his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
