Chapter 17: Alternative Spirit Fusion Technique
The Spirit Ring fusion process involves numerous steps.
These steps aren't obvious during normal absorption, making them easy to overlook.
However, with the absorption of higher-level Spirit Rings, this balance is disrupted, exposing numerous problems.
Stone Monkey Sun Qi, during this fusion, divided the Spirit Ring fusion into different levels. The first step was to resist the Spirit Ring's impact, followed by refining the Spirit Ring's Soul Power.
Once these two steps were completed, the Spirit Ring fusion was complete.
However, in the second step, in addition to the Soul Master refining the Spirit Ring's Soul Power, there was also a reverse assimilation of the Spirit Ring's Soul Power into the Soul Master's.
Sun Qi had previously been unaware of this, or perhaps he hadn't paid enough attention to it.
"Until my Soul Power is fully assimilated, I won't be able to refine enough Spirit Ring Soul Power."
Sun Qi remained calm.
He continued to strain his body, allowing himself to quickly recover his Soul Power from the consumption of Soul Power.
In reality, this little recovery was a drop in the bucket, but it was still something.
He and the Spirit Ring were using up their Soul Power.
The little stone monkey was also meditating with all his might, helping Sun Qi and the Spirit Ring consume their Soul Power.
"Now that the Soul Power shock has been withstood, Xiao Sun, you don't need to help me. You focus on meditating, aiming to refine the Spirit Ring Soul Power and restore Soul Power, and I will resist the Soul Power shock."
Sun Qi assigned new responsibilities to the little stone monkey.
Xiao Sun didn't waste time. Following Sun Qi's instructions, he put all the pressure on Sun Qi, meditated to recover his Soul Power, and then poured his Soul Power into the battlefield inside Sun Qi's body.
Sun Qi endured the pain like this, and his physical strength increased rapidly. His meridians also rapidly transformed in this pulling and tugging.
Time passed.
"Still a little short!"
Sun Qi's Soul Power was nearly exhausted.
However, he hadn't refined the Spirit Ring power enough; it hadn't reached the critical point yet and hadn't transformed into his own Soul Power.
Just a little short!
He and the little stone monkey were doing their utmost to resist the erosion of the Spirit Ring power.
They had to continue squeezing out the Soul Power within.
At this moment, a sudden glimmer of light surged within their bodies, surprising both man and monkey.
It was Soul Power!
The little stone monkey felt it first, because it was emanating from him, not Sun Qi. Of course, the little stone monkey was also a part of Sun Qi, his Spirit, so Sun Qi could sense it as well.
Where did this Soul Power come from?
The answer quickly emerged in Sun Qi's mind.
It was the Soul Power the little stone monkey had accumulated over the previous three months.
As the Spirit Ring absorbed this Soul Power, it gradually manifested. Although the Spirit Ring hadn't fully fused, Sun Qi's Soul Power was depleted, even completely absorbed by the Spirit Ring's power. Even Sun Qi and the little stone monkey began to suffer. Under these circumstances, the Soul Power hidden deep within his body suddenly emerged to counteract the assimilation of the Spirit Ring's power!
"Haha, so this part of Soul Power is used here!"
Sun Qi discovered a new world, his eyes gleaming, feeling as if he had finally attained enlightenment.
"Wooah!"
The little stone monkey exclaimed, Sun Qi wouldn't lie.
Sure enough, this cultivated Soul Power would aid him when the Spirit Ring was fused!
Enthusiastic, Sun Qi began to mobilize this level of Soul Power to turn the tide of battle.
In Sun Qi's spiritual world, a stone monkey charged left and right, back and forth. His final level of Soul Power transformed into a long staff. In the monkey's hand, it seemed indestructible, shattering the phantoms of the luminous Spirit Apes one after another, displaying its sharp edge.
Sun Qi finally refined the Spirit Ring's power.
This Soul Power possessed two distinct characteristics.
One belonged to the Transparent Spirit Ape,
and the other to Sun Qi.
When Sun Qi's characteristics surpassed those of the Transparent Spirit Ape, the ownership of this portion of Soul Power was determined.
The Spirit Ring's power surged into his limbs and bones.
At this moment, his body no longer rejected this Soul Power but began to accept it, adapting to its transformation.
An unprecedented comfort washed over his soul.
This was nothing for Sun Qi, who had fused Spirit Rings many times, but for the little stone monkey, it was an unprecedented experience.
A noticeable change could be seen in the stone monkey across from Sun Qi. His hair became more flowing, and his golden hair took on a more spiritual quality.
Most importantly, as he opened his eyes, a glint of silver shone, followed by a galaxy-like gaze, flowing with incomparable depth.
His gaze revealed an unprecedented spirituality.
Elsewhere, Sun Qi also opened his eyes.
A similar silver light flashed in his, followed by a galactic awakening.
At this moment, the Soul Power within the man and the monkey converged, resonating with each other and achieving an unprecedented state of fusion.
Sun Qi stared at the little stone monkey with a blazing gaze.
The little stone monkey also stared at Sun Qi.
In this moment, the two of them understood the true meaning of the Out Of Body Spirit.
Ning Fengxing, Xiong Da, and the others took a step back, looking at Sun Qi curiously.
The changes that had occurred in the stone monkey, Sun Qi, and the little stone monkey at that moment indicated that they had made tremendous progress, which would likely be directly demonstrated in the next moment.
As expected, Sun Qi did not tolerate it.
There was no need to hide this ability, and he would not hide it in the future.
"Xiao Sun!"
"Wooah!"
They each walked towards the other, holding one hand.
In the process, their bodies became ethereal, then strangely merged into one.
After the radiant light, a completely new form appeared before the eyes of Ning Fengxing and the others.
With Sun Qi as the main body, his body was covered in a layer of golden hair. Stars flashed in his eyes, and his body became much thinner, but it could be felt that he posed a greater threat than the previous individual Sun Qi and the little stone monkey.
What is this?
Ning Fengxing showed a puzzled expression.
Xiong Da hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this a Spirit possession?"
The characteristic of an Out Of Body Spirit is that the Spirit exists independently of the Soul Master. Whether in battle or otherwise, it is a separate entity, which also makes the Soul Master weak.
Yu Xiaogang is the most obvious example.
All knowledge on the mainland about Out Of Body Spirits is based on Yu Xiaogang's knowledge.
But Sun Qi has now actually completed Spirit possession.
Ning Fengxing's eyes were dim. He stared at the monkey-like Sun Qi, feeling the fluctuations and changes in Sun Qi's Soul Power, and said, "No, it's not a simple Spirit possession. His changes are much stronger than Spirit possession."
This is more like fusion.
In form, it is possession, but in reality, it is fusion.
Because the Out Of Body Spirit has already left the body and exists independently of the Soul Master!
At this time, the situation that is like possession now is no longer as simple as possession, but the individual that has left has merged back in.
If you use one word to describe it, then Ning Fengxing can only think of Spirit fusion technique.
Yes, Spirit fusion technique!
Sun Qi himself established one side of the Spirit fusion, and his stone monkey became the other side of the Spirit fusion.
One person achieved the Spirit fusion technique!
