Chapter 19: The First Soul Ring in 19 Years, Martial Soul Evolution

The next day at noon, a cleaner pushed a cart full of cleaning tools past the door of a room.

Looking at the door that had been closed for a day and a night, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "The world is going to the dogs, and morality is declining."

Even when she was young and dating boys, she never did things like that young couple yesterday, staying in the room all night without ever going out.

If she remembered correctly, the boy and girl should be under ten years old.

Right now, in this room.

Luo Pan sat on the ground like a seated sculpture, slowly opening his deep, obsidian-like starry eyes. The pale blue soul power surrounding him, like the thin mist in the morning light, gradually dissipated into nothingness.

Beneath Luo, a darker yellow spirit ring was silently circulating, its age appearing to be considerably higher than that of a typical hundred-year spirit ring.

Unbeknownst to them, the Yama Martial Soul had been quietly summoned and lay silently on Luo's lap, emitting a faint, cold light from top to bottom.

Unlike before, Enma's originally rusty blade was now smooth as a mirror and incredibly sharp. All the rust marks had completely disappeared without a trace, making it look like a newly forged peerless sword, no less than any famous sword!

The Yama Martial Soul has undergone a qualitative transformation!

It evolved from a rusty, broken katana into an unparalleled, sharp, and peerless sword!

And all of this is naturally to be expected.

After all, the first spirit ring that Luo absorbed was the most coveted treasure in the world of spirit masters—a 100,000-year spirit ring!

Even though Luo sealed most of the soul power in this 100,000-year soul ring, the unique effect of the 100,000-year soul ring was not weakened at all, and it still caused a qualitative leap in the quality of Luo's Yama Martial Soul!

Moreover, Luo also absorbed Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-old left arm bone soul bone, and this power also brought about earth-shattering changes to his physical aptitude!

Originally, Luo's first spirit ring, which was originally 100,000 years old, was sealed into a 100-year spirit ring, so it only had a lifespan of about 400 years. However, after absorbing the 100,000-year spirit bone, his physical attributes were strengthened, making him able to withstand the spirit power of a spirit ring that lasted for about 900 years!

Therefore, Luo's first spirit ring appears to be much darker than a typical hundred-year spirit ring.

Feeling the surging soul power within his body, Luo's eyes couldn't help but flash with undisguised joy.

He just carefully estimated that his current soul power level is around level sixteen, which can be described as "rising to the top in one step"!

Even though Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul ring was sealed, it still increased Luo's soul power by about five levels. Moreover, as the seal gradually unsealed, the increase in soul power would only increase further.

Unfortunately, absorbing a soul bone doesn't increase the user's soul power much. After all, the main function of a soul bone is to enhance physical fitness. Even though Xiao Wu's left arm bone soul bone is 100,000 years old, it only increases Luo's soul power by one level.

Fortunately, the enhancement of a soul bone to a user's physical attributes is not fixed from the beginning, but gradually increases as the user's soul power level increases.

Luo's physical abilities will be further enhanced later on!

(Regarding the setting of soul bones, the author has retconned too much. Initially, it was said that soul bones only enhanced physical attributes and did not increase soul power at all, and could also evolve along with the soul master. Later, this was changed. The former setting is adopted here.)

Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone contributed a total of four soul skills to Luo, two soul ring skills and two soul bone skills!

The two Soul Ring skills are called "Extreme Overload" and "Crippling Strike," while the other two Soul Bone skills are called "Void Walk" and "Invincible Golden Body."

"Extreme Overload": By overloading the maximum amount of soul power that the legs can withstand, the user enters an overload state, and the speed instantly increases tenfold!

(Note: This soul skill will gradually enter an overload state after use. The longer it lasts, the more heat will accumulate in the legs, and the heavier the burden will be. Use it with caution!!)

"Crippling Strike": Consumes a certain amount of soul power, instantly increasing the user's overall strength fourfold. The duration of the soul skill is thirty minutes!

(Passive Ability: Damage dealt by the Yama Martial Soul inflicts a Severe Wound effect. Severe Wound effect: The effects of healing-type Soul Skills and passive recovery abilities are halved.)

"Void Walking": For every 1% of soul power consumed, the user can teleport once, with a teleportation distance of 100 meters. For every 1% of soul power consumed, the user can teleport an additional 100 meters!

(Note: The power of this Soul Bone Technique increases as the user's cultivation level rises!!)

"Invincible Golden Body": The user immediately enters a golden body state, immune to all physical and soul power attacks, lasting for three seconds, and can end the golden body state early!

None of the four skills are active attack types; they are all "passive" soul skills. These include not only speed boosts and strength boosts, but also versatile movement and invincibility soul skills, making it a truly "perfect start"!

Just as Luo slowly picked up the Yama and placed it in front of him, carefully examining the transformation that had occurred on the blade, Xiao Wu seemed to sense something and slowly woke up on the bed.

"Oh! Luo, are you alright?" Xiao Wu suddenly sat up in bed, her voice filled with anxiety and concern.

Then, she quickly jumped off the bed, her bare feet lightly touching the floor, and her pair of jade-like arms naturally opened, ready to give Luo a hug.

However, before she could even get close to Luo, an indescribable stench of sweat suddenly assaulted her senses, causing Xiao Wu to involuntarily stop in her tracks.

Xiao Wu frowned slightly, covering her nose with her fingers in disgust, and said coquettishly, "Luo, you stink! How come you have such a thick layer of mud on your face and neck? Why don't you go take a shower?!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing this, Luo involuntarily lowered his head, his gaze falling on his sticky body. He saw a layer of grayish-black "sludge" clinging tightly to his skin and clothes, emitting a pungent odor.

These "sludge" were actually toxins and impurities expelled from his body when he absorbed the 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.

Because he was only thinking about observing the transformed appearance of the Yama Martial Soul after waking up, he didn't notice his own disheveled state for a moment.

Immediately, Luo quickly put away the Yama Martial Soul, ran to the bathroom in the room, took off his dirty clothes, and started washing his body.
