Chapter 60: Borrowing Flowers to Present to Buddha

Looking at the Silver-Maned Moon Lion before him, Ning Feiliu gave a dumbfounded smile.

In truth, this six-thousand-year cultivation Silver-Maned Moon Lion was indeed formidable in terms of offense.

When the battle first began, Ning Feiliu had nearly been struck by a single blow; fortunately, he had used the speed specialization buff from using the Aphelios, combined with Gale Force, which allowed him to dodge that attack.

And then... by relying on the gravity-slowing ability of the Severum, he finally toyed this Silver-Maned Moon Lion to death.

The Silver-Maned Moon Lion must have felt quite stifled, running into Ning Feiliu just as he switched to the Severum, with the gravity-slowing ability of the Severum combined with the Speed Amplification Ning Feiliu used himself when wielding the Aphelios.

It couldn't catch up when chasing, and in the end, it couldn't escape.

There is a famous theory in the Canyon from his past life: if it slows down and I speed up, that is equivalent to the opponent being immobilized.

The Silver-Maned Moon Lion was effectively beaten by Ning Feiliu for half an hour while standing in place; even a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast could only be beaten to death by Ning Feiliu in the end.

"You brat..." Dugu Bo stood out helplessly at this moment, "This way of attacking is truly too cheap, though it is indeed the style of a thorough Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master."

"There's no such thing as cheap or not; fighting is about using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

But he did not speak these words aloud.

"As for the soul skill," Ning Feiliu continued, smiling as he spoke slowly, "The soul skill of the Aphelios is named Protection of the Wind Spirit; it summons a tornado to guard one's body, while simultaneously increasing one's own speed by forty percent within the tornado."

After chatting for a few moments with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Ning Feiliu began to absorb the soul ring of the Silver-Maned Moon Lion right where he stood.

"The third soul skill of the Severum is named Dull Lock Moon; it emits black moonlight in a ten-meter radius, and enemies within the moonlight range are affected by a one-hundred-percent gravity increase effect."

So... theoretically, he really might be able to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

He thought to himself, it's as if you aren't like this or that; isn't your use of poison even cheaper?

Simply put, the differences are a storm shield and speed boost, a range-based life-steal buff, a range-based gravity-increase slow, a mini Clear Radiance Night Condensation but without the chain explosion, and a big ultimate move.

However... actually, there is no need to rush at this moment.

"The third soul skill of the Calibrum is named Blood Moon Protection; it emits blood-colored moonlight in a ten-meter radius to guard one's body, and within the blood light range, the life-force absorption effect is increased by one hundred percent."

After all, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring lies primarily in the massive energy of the soul ring, as well as the so-called mental shock of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.

"The third soul skill of the Infernum is named Moon Radiance Absolute Flash; it teleports forward and releases a beam of moonlight, causing an explosive attack."

On the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that held the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, the final deep purple soul ring slowly took shape.

Only then did Ning Feiliu open his eyes and stand up, full of smiles.

This absorption of the soul ring was also exceptionally smooth; although the Silver-Maned Moon Lion's soul ring was one thousand years higher than the expected five-thousand-year soul ring, with the Sunlight Breathing Method and the Resurrection Rune Fragment, Ning Feiliu had absolutely no problems.

They all have different effects; in fact, most are buffs or support effects, and the only attack soul skill is the third soul skill of the Infernum.

He even had a mysterious sense of confidence now that even if it were a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, he could...

"The third soul skill of the Gravitum is named Purifying Moon Barrier; it emits white moonlight in a ten-meter radius, which can purify the negative effects of everyone within the range."

"How was it?" Dugu Yan, who was to the side, remained very curious, "What strange new soul skills did you get?"

Ning Feiliu calmed his heart and absorbed the Silver-Maned Moon Lion's soul ring.

That was also for ordinary people; Ning Feiliu's mental power, which fused the lives of two worlds, combined with the fact that the Moonlight Breathing Method also had the effect of enhancing mental power, meant his Spirit Sea had grown quite a bit during this time through the Moonlight Breathing Method.

It was a pity, as mentioned before, that Ning Feiliu could only use the soul skill set corresponding to the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon he was currently wielding.

This was indeed quite a significant limitation.

Otherwise, he could completely toy with his opponents using soul skills with various effects.

Of course, although there were many soul skills, the effects were still those of thousand-year soul skills, and it was not like in a game.

There was no such thing as stacking attack damage for soul skills, and the soul skills of Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent did not have so-called cooldowns.

Ning Feiliu had many soul skills, but it wasn't as if others had no way to deal with it; for instance, once he used a soul skill, they couldn't deal with Ning Feiliu's other soul skills.

There was no such claim.

And even if Ning Feiliu could freely use so many soul skills, the prerequisite was...

That his soul power was sufficient.

This is just like having many skills but not enough mana.

Without soul power to use soul skills, no matter how many soul skills one has, there is nothing to be done.

However, that was a matter for future battles; what Ning Feiliu was most pleasantly surprised by now was...

"Not only that, after absorbing this soul ring, my soul power has currently reached level 33," he said with a smile.

Logically speaking, he only absorbed a normal six-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring, so his soul power should have only increased to level 32.

But this increased his soul power by one level more than expected, which proved that the previous Immortal Herb and martial soul enhancement meant his soul power had increased by far more than just ten levels.

This was entirely an unexpected joy.

"Level 33 soul power." Dugu Bo's eyes twitched; this brat had leaped from level 20 to level 33 in just two days, an increase of 13 levels of soul power.

Truly... a terrifying speed of improvement.

"I am only at level 33 soul power now myself," Dugu Yan said, feeling very envious, "You actually jumped directly to the same soul power level as me..."

"Sister Yan," Ning Feiliu said with a soft smile, "You can do it too, next."

"What do you mean I can do it," Dugu Yan thought Ning Feiliu was just comforting her, and immediately rolled her eyes.

"Alright, let's go back to Teacher's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first," Ning Feiliu said, shaking his head with a smile.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were stunned for a moment; it seemed... Ning Feiliu was serious?

So they returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Only then did Ning Feiliu say, "Teacher, you still remember the promise you made to me before, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded, "You are talking about those eight Immortal Herbs, right? No problem, just take them yourself."

Of course, he didn't care in the slightest; in the original story, he hadn't hesitated at all to give them to Tang San, who refused to take him as a master and had nothing to do with Dugu Yan.

Since Ning Feiliu was his student and future grandson-in-law, there was even less need for him to hesitate.

Ning Feiliu nodded immediately, then went directly to find... an eight-petaled orchid; the orchid was snow-white and crystalline throughout, giving one a sense of being aloof and otherworldly.

He dug it out by the roots and returned directly to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo.

"Sister Yan... this is an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. Its medicinal properties are gentle and mellow, making it easy to absorb, though it requires a long time. It can consolidate your foundation, nourish your primordial spirit, and expel impurities from your body," Ning Feiliu said with a smile. "It shouldn't disrupt the balance of the toxins in your body, and at the same time, it can allow you to increase your soul power by about six or seven levels!"

He finally gave a carefree smile, "I suppose this is my way of offering flowers borrowed from another."

Alright, tonight's update is finished, I'm off to play games!

The free period is just like this; even with many updates, the data won't be very good. Those who should be stockpiling chapters are still stockpiling, and there's no money to be made, so the motivation to type out updates isn't as good as playing games (laughs).
