Chapter 16: Absorption Beyond Level
"Damn it!"
Ning Fengxing cursed.
"That brat Ning Yuan, I must make him copy the information about Soul Beasts when I go back. This Transparent Spirit Ape has five spiritual points flashing on its head, which obviously means it has five hundred years of cultivation."
Inaccurate intelligence can kill people!
Sun Qi did not realize the age of this Transparent Spirit Ape at first.
Although Armor Sun Qi and Twin Sun Qi were studying the information seriously, he really did not learn the skill of identifying the age of Soul Beasts in depth.
The first thing he saw about this Transparent Spirit Ape was the four black and white stripes on the ape's body, and he thought that this Transparent Spirit Ape was more than four hundred years old.
Unexpectedly, Ning Fengxing said that the age of this Transparent Spirit Ape was determined by the spiritual points on its head.
"This Transparent Spirit Ape has exceeded its limit, and you can't absorb it." Ning Fengxing said.
Sun Qi shook his head and said, "Senior, let me try."
Ning Fengxing turned around, his eyes widened.
He wanted to glare at Sun Qi, and then warn him about the dangers of absorbing Spirit Rings beyond his level.
However, what responded to him was the firm gaze of Sun Qi.
"Elder Fengxing, just listen to him." Armor Sun Qi said from the side.
Ning Fengxing frowned and looked at Armor Sun Qi.
This is your twin brother, do you want him to die?
It is understandable that you want to try to absorb Spirit Rings beyond your level. After all, you have used a lot of good things from the sect, and your Spirit is also very outstanding, but your brother is not you.
Armor Sun Qi's eyes began to become meaningful.
Seeing this, Ning Fengxing no longer had the idea of persuading Sun Qi.
In his opinion, since Armor Sun Qi had agreed, there was no point in him trying to persuade him.
"Xiong Da, Lao Tie, I leave it to you."
The burly man with the Spirit White Bear came out and patted his chest.
"Leave it to me."
He shouted, and his muscles began to bulge. As his muscles bulged, white hair grew out. Before we could see what his muscles would look like after they grew bigger, the snow-white hair had completely covered him.
He transformed into a huge white bear, roaring loudly.
The ground suddenly exploded.
A mass of white stuff rushed out.
The Transparent Spirit Ape sensed the danger, came out of meditation, opened his eyes and looked towards Ning Fengxing and the others.
There was obvious anger and horror in his eyes.
He was touched so close to someone, and he didn't even notice it in advance.
His figure quickly blurred and turned into a shadow.
Seeing this, Xiong Da did not let go of this shadow.
This Transparent Spirit Ape possessed the Spirit Monkey Phantom Soul skill. This skill's effect was to leave behind a phantom clone capable of absorbing damage in its place and even possessing a certain degree of combat power.
This wasn't the most outrageous aspect; the most outrageous aspect was that the true form could swap places with the phantom at any moment.
Therefore, Xiong Da set out to shatter the Transparent Spirit Ape's phantom clone.
After shattering the phantom clone, he looked in the direction of the Transparent Spirit Ape's flight. Icy energy gathered in his right hand, quickly condensing into an ice cone, which he hurled with all his might.
The cone swiftly streaked through the air, pinning the Transparent Spirit Ape in mid-flight.
However, as Xiong Da approached, the Transparent Spirit Ape disintegrated into a ball of energy and disintegrated.
Watching this scene from afar, Sun Qi was filled with surprise.
This Transparent Spirit Ape's Soul skill was truly remarkable; it possessed such remarkable life-saving abilities.
Is it the Spirit Monkey Phantom?
This Soul skill is indeed quite good and could serve as a valuable combat tool for the Stone Monkey.
Of course, Sun Qi actually desired the gift of Ape Heart Transparency more than the Spirit Monkey Phantom.
This might be the key to the Stone Monkey's transformation.
This is why he insisted on receiving the Spirit Ring of the Transparent Spirit Ape.
Upon hearing about the Transparent Spirit Ape and its awakening of the Transparent Ape Heart Transparency, Sun Qi reserved it.
By absorbing the Spirit Ring of the Transparent Spirit Ape, the little Stone Monkey might be able to advance to the Transparent Stone Monkey, further developing his mental abilities and perhaps establishing a deeper connection with Sun Qi.
He was even willing to absorb Spirit Rings of higher levels.
Of course, this presupposed that he had a genuine hope of achieving this.
A situation arose that required him to absorb a Spirit Ring of a higher level, and he happened to be able to convince himself that he had found the key talent that would allow him to do so. This was the whole story.
In the distance, despite being repeatedly toyed with by the Transparent Spirit Ape, Xiong Da remained unfazed. He vanquished the ape's phantom clones each time, always finding its way.
After destroying five of its clones, Xiong Da finally captured the ape, crushing it unconscious before returning to Sun Qi.
"He's dying! Hurry!"
Sun Qi took a long sword from Armor Sun Qi and struck fiercely.
His strike struck the ape's neck, cleaving it in two.
A moment of silence followed, before a bright yellow Spirit Ring arose.
Sun Qi took a deep breath, calming himself.
He could feel the ring's pull; now, he only needed to connect it to begin the fusion process.
"Keep going, Xiao Sun!"
Sun Qi summoned the little stone monkey, and they each extended a hand, shaking hands in encouragement.
After some mutual encouragement with the little stone monkey, Sun Qi stepped forward and decisively put the Spirit Ring of the Transparent Spirit Ape on himself.
The little stone monkey came in front of Sun Qi, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Pain soon appeared on the faces of both the man and the monkey.
Absorbing Spirit Rings beyond one's level is beyond common sense, and the pain that needs to be endured is also inhuman.
Because of the buffer of the little stone monkey, Sun Qi's Soul Power did not explode directly, which was a very good start, proving that he had the foundation to withstand the impact of this Spirit Ring.
Seeing this, Ning Fengxing whispered, "He really made it through the first level."
Armor Sun Qi smiled and did not reply.
He was also enduring a certain amount of pain at this moment, because he and Sun Qi were of the same soul, and the perception between them was connected.
"The body did not explode, and he survived the first level. Sure enough, my idea was right. Xiao Sun's existence is an independent individual, but it can withstand the impact of the Spirit Ring for me."
With this certainty confirmed, Sun Qi felt he could continue attempting to absorb Spirit Rings of higher levels.
An Out Of Body Spirit possessed this unique advantage; if he couldn't capitalize on it, he would be plagued by the drawbacks of an Out Of Body Spirit for the rest of his life.
The pros and cons of Out Of Body Spirits were evident in this.
"This Transparent Spirit Ape's ability to assimilate Spirit Rings and Soul Power is too strong. While the little stone monkey and I can withstand its impact, we can hardly resist its assimilation."
Sun Qi discovered that his speed in refining Spirit Rings couldn't match the speed at which these Spirit Rings assimilated his own.
