Chapter 132: Ning Fengzhi's Ninth Soul Ring
"Bei'er?"
Gu Rong and the others looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Ning Bei didn't explain, instead directly releasing his Ice Snow Woman Martial Soul. Three orange soul rings appeared one after another.
"Eternal Freeze Domain."
With a burst of ice-blue light radiating from beneath his feet, the ocean surface immediately began to freeze at a terrifying speed. The waves didn't even have a chance to calm down before they turned into solid ice.
The Coral Spirit Turtle, which had been heading towards the sea, collided with the hard ice surface, its expression showing a human-like confusion.
What's going on? It was fine when I came, but now I can't go back!
Ning Fengzhi and the others looked on in delight.
"Bei'er, you really are something."
"Yeah, if it weren't for this move of yours, we'd probably be returning empty-handed."
"Ning Bei, brother, I'm impressed!"
Hearing their praises, Ning Bei scratched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Just lucky, just lucky."
Seeing that the turtle had no way of escaping and realizing that the humans were not easy opponents, it quickly withdrew its exposed body into its shell, lying still on the ice.
Ning Bei and the others were speechless. For a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it really didn't have much dignity. Couldn't it at least make a symbolic resistance?
After exchanging glances, the group understood that unless they shattered its shell, they weren't going to get that soul ring today.
Chen Xin immediately activated his Martial Soul's true form, and a massive Seven Kill Sword floated in front of him.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi also summoned his Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Nine Treasure True Body. The Nine Treasures are famous: One is strength, two is speed, three is soul, and five is attack."
Four beams of nine-colored light directly amplified Chen Xin's body.
Feeling all his attributes increase by more than double, Chen Xin's eyes flashed with confidence.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Seven Kill Thunderstrike, one sword to break the sky."
The soul power behind him transformed into four giant arms of a demon, each holding one of the divided Seven Kill Swords. Then, all four arms swung in unison, forming a crescent-shaped slash heading straight for the turtle.
The Coral Spirit Turtle, hiding inside its shell, seemed to sense the terrifying power of the strike. It created a light blue soul power barrier around its body.
With a loud "clang," the slash hit the turtle's soul power shield. For several seconds, the two forces held each other in a deadlock before the barrier shattered, and the sword energy continued, slashing straight into the turtle's shell.
After a few seconds, the sword energy dissipated, leaving a long crack on the turtle's shell, but not injuring the Coral Spirit Turtle itself.
"Such terrifying defense. No wonder it's a hundred-thousand-year turtle soul beast."
Seeing his full-force attack fail, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh in astonishment.
Ning Fengzhi and the others nodded seriously, agreeing with Chen Xin's view.
After seeing the situation, Ning Bei created four different auxiliary combat pills and threw three of them to Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Da Ming.
"Let's all try together."
The three of them caught the auxiliary combat pills without hesitation and popped them into their mouths.
Ning Fengzhi, seeing this, didn't hesitate either. He focused on controlling his soul power to enhance the other three.
This was the first time Ning Bei had felt the support of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It was no wonder it had once been called the world's number one support Martial Soul, though that title was now rightfully his.
With the assistance of the auxiliary pills and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the four's attributes were boosted more than three times. Chen Xin, now fully empowered, could only wonder: Where is Qiandao Liu?
Everything ready, the three of them began attacking the turtle below.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Divine and Demon Dual Slashes."
"Martial Soul True Body: Bone Dragon Thrust."
"Sky Blue Extermination Thunder."
The slashes, bone spikes, and thunder rained down on the turtle that dared not fight back.
Several deafening explosions rang out across the ocean, with shattered ice flying through the air, blocking the group's view.
It took several minutes before everything finally calmed down. The once smooth ice surface was now full of craters, showing the intense battle that had taken place.
The Coral Spirit Turtle's body was now exposed outside its broken shell. Its heart was visible on its back, and the ice beneath it was stained blood red. The turtle had fainted after receiving the full force of the group's attack.
Seeing that there was no need for him to act anymore, Ning Bei withdrew his Ice Snow Woman Martial Soul and silently apologized. "Sorry, Sister Turtle, but this is something soul masters have to go through to level up."
He gave Ning Fengzhi a knowing glance, and the latter understood that this was the best opportunity. With excitement, he was sent onto the ice surface by Chen Xin.
Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi ended the life of the turtle. The weak points of most soul beasts were located in their eyes, and this Coral Spirit Turtle was no exception. With his soul power-infused punch, Ning Fengzhi shattered the turtle's eye and brain.
A few seconds later, the Coral Spirit Turtle's life signs slowly faded, and a blood-red soul ring began to form around its body.
Ning Fengzhi excitedly nodded to the others around him. After adjusting his state, he took out the pulse-protecting pill given by Ning Bei and swallowed it, preparing to absorb the soul ring.
The four of them gathered around him, putting away their Martial Souls and watching vigilantly, aware that the ocean contained many dangerous soul beasts.
Ning Bei summoned Ah Bao and Er Ming and then distributed some soul power recovery pills to Jian, Gu, and the others before finally feeling reassured enough to wait.
While they waited, a voice suddenly appeared in Ning Bei's mind. It was Tian Meng.
"You're quite the trickster, huh? You even thought of using seduction as a method!"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes. "Are you complimenting me or criticizing me?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Who cares how I do it? Catching the turtle is the real win!"
"True enough. Now that this human has absorbed the soul ring, are you planning to search for the ninth soul ring for your first Martial Soul?"
"Exactly. Do you have any ideas?"
"Why not use your divine soul ring? If you use it now, you should be able to condense a soul ring of over 400,000 years without any problem."
Ning Bei glared at Tian Meng. "Do you think I didn't want to?"
"Then what's next? Apart from the Ice Emperor's Wisdom Soul Ring, where else would I find an ice-type soul ring? Should I just settle for a ten-thousand-year soul ring?"
"Uh..."
Tian Meng was momentarily speechless. Indeed, as Ning Bei said, ice-type hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were quite rare, and you couldn't always expect to get a divine soul ring every time you take the divine exam.
"Well, I do have some information about mid-level soul beasts in the sea."
"Oh? Tell me more."
"Uh... well, to my shame, I didn't exactly fall into the sea from the Ice Cave. I ended up getting lost."
Ning Bei chuckled after hearing Tian Meng's words.
"Are you talking about getting lost in the Star Dou Forest?"
Hearing Ning Bei's teasing, Tian Meng's expression turned a little awkward.
"That's not the point. The point is, when I was being chased by that vicious beast, I encountered a Holy Light Sea Urchin with thirty thousand years of cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Ning Bei immediately became alert. This was just the thing for the ninth soul ring for his Dan Tower!
