Star Dou Great Forest.
Yun Chuan returned here once more. He wanted to test if his current martial soul could continue to absorb soul rings. If it could, would he gain soul skills?
This was a question worth exploring.
Boom!
A Thunder Lance struck a bird emitting yellow light. Terrifying lightning ravaged the surroundings, directly charring this bird soul beast, known for its speed, causing it to twitch and fall freely.
Thud!
The charred bird, whose size was as large as an ox, crashed to the ground.
Far away, Yun Chuan was still in the pose of throwing the javelin, clearly everything had happened too fast.
Losing the spirit ring didn't affect Yun Chuan at all. After all, due to the characteristics of his martial soul, he didn't generate any spirit skills from attaching spirit rings. The spirit skills he used before were all self-created through his own exploration. For him, the spirit ring was just a tool to help break through the limit of his soul power.
"Tsk! A hundred-thousand-year Aurora Bird! This Thunder Lance took it down directly." Yun Chuan looked at the large bird twitching on the ground in the distance, a blood-red spirit ring gradually emerging from its body, clicking his tongue. He used to be like he was shackled, possessing infinite divine power, but with no way to use it.
Now that he wasn't a spirit master, he had broken free from the shackles! His strength naturally skyrocketed! After all, when he was still a spirit master, his output power was fixed, limited by the system. A Soul Saint could only unleash the power of a Soul Saint, it was impossible to exceed it.
But now, without any restrictions, he could adjust his attack power as he pleased. His strength had increased by an unknown amount compared to before. Even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could be destroyed with a flip of his hand!
"Let's see if I can absorb the spirit ring."
Yun Chuan came to the side of the charred Aurora Bird and sat down cross-legged. He summoned the gray Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, transformed the Five Elements Force in his body into soul power, and then, with a pull of his soul power, he tried to draw the bloody spirit ring over.
But no matter what he did, the bloody spirit ring remained motionless, still silently suspended above the Aurora Bird's corpse.
"No reaction. Can't I attach it to my martial soul?" Yun Chuan frowned, then suddenly thought, could he absorb this soul ring directly?
"Can I absorb the soul ring directly using the Five Elements Force?"
Yun Chuan extended his hand, and five-colored light emerged from his palm. Immediately, the previously motionless, blood-soaked soul ring seemed to be drawn by this light and slowly floated towards him.
Next, the Five Elements Force enveloped the blood-soaked soul ring and drew it into his body.
Closing his eyes, Yun Chuan began to sense the situation within his body.
He saw that after this ten-thousand-year soul ring entered his body, his five crystal-like internal organs immediately emitted five-colored light, taking turns grinding this blood-soaked halo… Eventually, this soul ring transformed into the purest energy, merging into his body.
After completely absorbing this ten-thousand-year soul ring, Yun Chuan, who had been tightly closing his eyes, suddenly trembled. Then, he opened his eyes, and a look of understanding appeared on his face. "So that's how it is..." Then, he looked at the Aurora Bird's corpse, extended his right hand, and the five-colored light erupted from his palm!
Under the illumination of the five-colored light, the Aurora Bird's charred corpse completely turned into powder, leaving only a golden-colored right leg bone. Obviously, this was a soul bone that a ten-thousand-year soul beast would definitely drop.
The five-colored light swirled around that golden-colored right soul bone, directly merging into Yun Chuan's body. He closed his eyes again, seemingly lost in some kind of comprehension.
A while later.
When Yun Chuan opened his eyes again, a smile appeared on his face because he found that the soul bone and soul ring were not useless to him. On the contrary, they were even more useful than he had imagined.
The Aurora Bird, as its name suggests, is a pure light-attribute soul beast. It is said to possess the speed of light, though this is just a saying; it certainly couldn't actually reach light speed. Although this soul beast isn't strong in attack, its speed is extremely fast, especially this 100,000-year-old Aurora Bird, whose speed was unbelievably fast.
After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone of this Aurora Bird, Yun Chuan naturally grasped a soul skill, or rather, he gained a natural ability. That was the speed of light!
Previously, he could also use Light, but it could only be used for illumination or to dispel negative emotions in people's hearts. Now, however, he could transform himself into light and possess the speed of light!
How fast is the speed of light? It can cross 300,000 kilometers in one second! If he had the speed of light, he could circle the Earth in only 0.13 seconds, and reach Earth from the Moon in just 1.28 seconds.
"I can finally act cool and say to people: Speed is power! Have you ever been kicked by the speed of light?" Feeling the changes in himself, Yun Chuan couldn't help but sigh. He was eager to try and see what the so-called speed of light was really like. Now that he had the speed of light, he felt invincible in Douro, alright?
Yun Chuan stood up, stretched his limbs, and then put his body in a posture as if about to run. White light began to bloom slightly on his body...
The next moment.
Boom!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Yun Chuan, who should have vanished in a flash of Light, had only managed to rush out less than ten meters before his body exploded. He was now lying on the ground, barely alive.
"...Careless!" Yun Chuan, covered in blood, wore a face that seemed to want to cry but couldn't. He realized he'd overlooked something. Although he could achieve the speed of Light, his body couldn't withstand the pressure that came with it.
His current body was ultimately too fragile. He was fortunate enough to have slammed on the brakes when he sensed something was wrong, or else it wouldn't have been just blood spraying everywhere. He would have exploded into a cloud of blood mist and vanished into the vast expanse of the world.
Yun Chuan felt like he'd been deceived by movies and anime. After all, the protagonists in those stories could casually travel or fight at the speed of Light, and their bodies remained perfectly fine. But when it came to him, his body almost ripped apart. It was so unfair.
Fortunately, he realized something was wrong and stopped in time.
But even with the timely brakes, his body was still a mess due to the immense impact. Fortunately, Yun Chuan was no longer the same. The five crystal-like organs within him began to spontaneously emit light of five colors!
Again and again, the five-colored light continuously washed over and nourished his body… Yun Chuan could feel his fractured bones, muscles, and organs… rapidly recovering under the soothing nourishment of the five-colored light.
Yun Chuan, who had been on the verge of death, looking like a tattered ragdoll, suddenly leaped up from the ground.
If it weren't for his torn clothes and the large patches of undried blood on his body, anyone would have thought he was in perfect health. It was hard to imagine he'd been on the brink of death just moments before.
"It seems my body is still too fragile. I can't even handle Light speed. It's really terrible," Yun Chuan said, shaking his head repeatedly. He was completely shaken from his delusion of invincibility. Honestly, if he could truly achieve Light speed, he would be practically invincible in Douluo.
Unfortunately, his body couldn't handle it.
"However, even though I can't truly unleash Light speed, perhaps if I reduce it slightly, to a level my body can withstand, my speed could still increase significantly."
Yun Chuan had a new idea. He couldn't achieve true Light speed, but he could try a slightly weaker version, right?
Thinking this, he began to experiment little by little, trying to determine what speed, in meters per second, was the current limit his body could endure.
He couldn't manage true Light speed for now, but perhaps a Pseudo-Light Speed was possible?
