Kong Deming felt relieved.
This time, Su Yu's role in coming along is to provide assistance.
The Ultimate Life Attribute is merely at the Soul Sect level; the Soul Skills have limited effect.
Kong Deming doesn't hold much hope for this; he is more looking forward to Su Yu activating the Blade of Living Beings to aid him in absorbing the Soul Ring.
With the massive Life Force replenishment from the Blade of Living Beings, Kong Deming's absorption of the Soul Ring will be smoother, and the effects of absorbing the Soul Ring will be maximized.
Not only will the body's feedback from the Soul Ring be maximized, but during this period, he can also greatly enhance his Physique by leveraging the Life Force.
"Indeed, coupled with the Life Force provided by the Blade of Living Beings, the success rate is very high.
However, the runes still need to be refined and cultivated. After obtaining the Fifth Soul Ring and returning to Mingdu, I will first study these types of runes."
Kong Deming felt moved.
If this is possible, he could obtain the Sixth Soul Ring in advance.
Although there's still a long way to go to absorb the Seventh Soul Ring after obtaining the Sixth Soul Ring, it's even farther than when absorbing the Sixth Soul Ring after normally breaking through the Physique.
But absorbing the Sixth Soul Ring in advance has its benefits.
The biggest difference lies in data management.
It's similar to Su Yu's Rune Technique preemptively capitalizing on the Sixth Soul Ring's feedback.
Absorbing the Sixth Soul Ring first means that in a short time, Kong Deming can absorb two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings. Given a high enough age range, he hopes his Soul Power can break through again.
Eh!
The feedback from the Sixth Soul Ring is used to remedy the preemptively consumed Physique, but the feedback from breaking through to Level 96 Soul Power is truly obtained.
At that time, can it continue to preemptively absorb the Seventh Ring?
Having absorbed the Seventh Ring and explored the method of reconciling Martial Soul conflicts in advance, won't the Eighth and Ninth Rings be at one's fingertips to absorb?
Kong Deming feels highly accomplished.
His heart is filled with joy.
Unexpectedly, making true use of Twin Martial Souls is so delightful.
He patted his disciple's head, filled with emotion.
Among the five Soul Rings, striving to absorb three Hundred Thousand Year ones will ensure Level 95 Soul Power can be boosted to Level 98!
Then upgrade his Soul-guiding Device...
Kong Deming was lost in a daydream.
Su Yu brought him back to reality.
"So, teacher, do you have any thoughts on this rune construction?"
"..."
"Actually, I have another idea. Teacher, you said it would be understandable if we weren't aware, but since we are aware that the Seventh Ring can automatically interlock and amplify the Martial Soul.
Why can't we try accomplishing it before the Seventh Ring?"
Kong Deming was once again moved by Su Yu's idea.
"According to your suggestion, we're actually developing a Secret Technique."
Some family Secret Techniques essentially involve utilizing the Soul Rings.
Some use Fusion Rings, some use Explosive Rings, some use Combined Rings...
If Su Yu's idea can be realized, this set of Secret Technique should be considered Linked Rings...
"Ah, tell me, with all these ideas, which one should I study when I return to Mingdu after absorbing the Fifth Soul Ring?"
Kong Deming couldn't hide his laughter.
All are feasible ideas.
The cultivation direction is so clear and not tough at all that he is overjoyed from within.
"Teacher, what type of Soul Beast do you plan to absorb for the Fifth Soul Ring?"
Su Yu once again pulled his future-dreaming teacher back to the present.
"With your Twin Martial Souls, surely your goal can't be just to all be Ten-Thousand-Year in the Second Martial Soul, right?"
Isn't it?
"..."
Kong Deming felt his disciple might be influencing him negatively, but he couldn't find proof.
"Teacher, with the assistance of the Blade of Living Beings, can you now absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for the Fifth Soul Ring?"
Su Yu asked.
He was actually not worried about Kong Deming's subsequent Physique issues.
Immortal Grass, maybe?
Su Yu wouldn't fail to scheme knowing Immortal Grass exists.
As for Tang San's impact on those plant-type Soul Beasts...
Is one Ultimate Life Martial Soul enough?
If Ultimate Life isn't enough, then what about "Ultimate Power?"
It should be able to influence those plant-type Soul Beasts.
...
The previous theoretical discussions weren't without result.
At least researching these ideas allows Su Yu to better grasp the essence of Martial Soul cultivation.
Elder Yi also often told Su Yu that cultivation requires understanding the principles and analyzing their essence. Only in this way can one better break through barriers in the future.
Su Yu felt he might be talking about the secrets of Divinity.
...
Encouraged by Su Yu, Kong Deming decided the Fifth Soul Ring of the Second Martial Soul would absorb a Hundred Thousand Year one.
"There's a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast in the Jingyang Mountain Range, but it doesn't suit my Sun Martial Soul. Let's go, we'll change our destination this time."
Having decided to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Kong Deming didn't procrastinate.
"According to Sun and Moon Royal Family records, the highest concentration of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts within the Sun and Moon Empire gathers in the Evil Demon Forest. The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts there don't suit me for now.
Besides the Evil Demon Forest, other Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts are more scattered. Among them, only two or three are most suited to me."
Su Yu listened to his teacher explain, feeling admiration, for the extensive knowledge of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts.
...
"Let's go to Fiery Sun Valley."
According to Kong Deming, there's a Three-legged Red Gold Bird that awakened the bloodline of a Three-legged Golden Crow, reaching the level of a Hundred Thousand Years among the Red Gold Bird species in Fiery Sun Valley.
While rushing, Kong Deming also explained the theory of Fifth-level Soul-guiding Devices.
Su Yu had extraordinary comprehension; he understood with a single explanation, mastered with a single discussion. Kong Deming essentially recited his knowledge and experience in a single session.
Going over it once, Kong Deming roughly organized his understanding of Fifth-level Soul-guiding Device theory from start to finish.
Su Yu also found that learning this way was faster than just reading books.
No need to search for materials or solve problems independently; with guidance on the general ideas from the teacher, it was quickly grasped.
They were walking to rush, and despite having considerable Soul Power, it took them seven days to reach Fiery Sun Valley.
Within Fiery Sun Valley, the Fire Attribute Primordial Qi was exceedingly dense.
A wave of heat greeted them.
"You wait outside, I'll go in alone and settle it, then I'll come out to get you."
Kong Deming didn't take Su Yu along to hunt the Hundred Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Su Yu's role was only effective during the Soul Ring absorption, so let him join then instead of following along, which would make Kong Deming more cautious.
Su Yu waited for four days.
Until the fourth night, a silver moon rose in Fiery Sun Valley, casting a cool white light.
Intense fiery breath surged, accompanied by furious cries, setting off a heaven-shattering battle.
The combat was quite swift.
In just one minute, the terrifying aura of the Fire Attribute Soul Beast weakened, the cries filled with resentment.
"Soul-guiding Devices, when properly set up, are truly strong."
Su Yu sighed.
Such ease in hunting a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.
A figure flew from the horizon, picked up Su Yu, and flew towards the interior.
Su Yu was dazed, and upon landing, they were already in front of a massive Red Gold Bird's corpse.
The blood-red Soul Ring was soul-stirring.
