Chapter 106 Shadow Raid!
When Yu Tianyun crushed the wing bones of the Emerald Demon Bird, the intense pain finally brought it back to its senses.
Immediately, it cried out in agony, its voice shrill and its eyes filled with extreme terror. Its head and claws thrashed and tore wildly, trying to break free from Yu Tianyun's control. However, the dragon scales covering Yu Tianyun's hands remained smooth as a mirror, completely unharmed.
About fifteen minutes later, the cries of the Emerald Demon Bird could no longer be heard in the area. It lay limply in Yu Tianyun's palm, like a lifeless lump of mud.
Except for the bones in its head, all the bones in its body were ruthlessly crushed or shattered by Yu Tianyun's powerful soul force. Not a single feather was left on its body, but no soul ring appeared. It was clear that it was still barely clinging to life, but had fainted due to the excruciating pain.
Yu Tianyun turned back to Zhu Zhuqing's side, handed her the tormented Emerald Demon Bird, and said gently:
"Zhu Qing, this bird is the Emerald Demon Bird, an extremely terrifying super soul beast, and it excels at speed. Absorb its soul ring; it will definitely grant you a powerful third soul skill!"
"Huh? Oh."
Zhu Zhuqing remained in a daze. When she saw Yu Tianyun relentlessly torturing the Emerald Demon Bird, she understood the reason. And when she heard Yu Tianyun muttering, "How dare you hurt Zhuqing...", her heart was instantly filled with a strong and warm love. Her thoughts raced:
"So Tianyun was so angry because that soul beast almost ambushed me."
If Zhu Zhuqing had previously accepted Yu Tianyun willingly because he was superior to Dai Mubai in every way and could help her escape her predetermined fate, then from the moment Yu Tianyun gave her the immortal herb, to later grilling fish for her, and now to his fury because she was almost harmed, her heart had unknowingly fallen deeply in love with him, unable to extricate itself. Especially now, she had completely fallen in love with him, and there was no possibility of turning back.
Zhu Zhuqing regained her senses, took the Emerald Demon Bird, and instantly possessed the Netherworld Cat. She showed no mercy or pity to this soul beast that had almost killed her.
With a single swipe of her claw, she cleaved the corpse into several pieces. Soon, energy emanated from the mangled remains, condensing into a magnificent purple soul ring.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the spirit ring, took a deep breath, focused her mind, and tried to control her emotions. After a moment, she adjusted herself to her best state.
She then sat down cross-legged, circulated her soul power, and slowly drew the purple soul ring into her body. It didn't take long before the purple soul ring was completely integrated into her body.
Seeing that she had made good progress in absorbing the soul ring, Yu Tianyun knew that he couldn't offer any real help, so he returned to the campfire and continued to eat and grill fish.
Naturally, he still devoted some of his mental energy to observing his surroundings. This time, he expanded his observation range to two hundred meters to prevent a repeat of the dangerous situation from happening again.
Time flowed by like a gentle stream. Zhu Zhuqing's aura gradually stabilized, and a purple spirit ring slowly rose from beneath her feet, perfectly complementing the two spirit rings that already existed.
This spirit ring, no more than 1,800 years old, wasn't considered to be beyond the limit of absorption. Even though the Emerald Demon Bird was powerful, the energy contained within the spirit ring wasn't more than that of other spirit beasts of the same age; at most, its aura was slightly more violent. However, for Zhu Zhuqing, who had consumed immortal herbs, absorbing it was still quite easy.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise and delight. Her gaze swept across the room, and upon seeing Yu Tianyun, she said joyfully:
"Tianyun, I succeeded, and my soul power has even increased to level 37! You're right, most of the medicinal power of the Netherworld Daylily is hidden in my body. In total, it directly helped me increase my soul power by seven levels."
Yu Tianyun wasn't surprised. At lower levels, the amount of soul power needed to break through a soul power level wasn't much, which is why the soul power level could increase so much at once. For example, Zhu Zhuyun, who was already at the Soul Master realm, only increased by 3.5 levels.
However, Yu Tianyun was quite curious about the soul skill Zhu Zhuqing had acquired. It was definitely not the original Netherworld Slash; it would surely be much more powerful. He smiled and said:
"Of course, how could I lie to my beloved little kitten! By the way, Zhuqing, how is the effect of your third soul skill?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt a little shy when she heard Yu Tianyun call her "little kitten," but she immediately responded:
"My third soul skill is called Shadow Strike. It can instantly unleash three times the speed five times, while maintaining a 100% increase in attack power and penetration for half an hour. Thank you, Tianyun, because of you I was able to obtain such a powerful soul skill."
Yu Tianyun was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the Emerald Demon Bird would provide Zhu Zhuqing with such an excellent amplification soul skill, and the amplification aspect was exactly what Zhu Zhuqing needed most.
It can increase speed by three times five times, which is undoubtedly extremely useful for agility-type Soul Masters. In addition, the attack power and penetration power are doubled for half an hour, which is also suitable for Zhu Zhuqing's first two Soul Skills.
Zhu Zhuqing's first two soul skills are both offensive soul skills. With the amplification of her third soul skill, the power she unleashes will be increased to another level.
An assassin needs to be fast and have high attack power, and this combination of soul skills is more reasonable than her previous ones. Zhu Zhuqing's second soul skill, amplified by her third soul skill, is definitely no less powerful than the original Netherworld Slash, and also has five more speed bursts!
"No wonder it's a spirit ring born from a super spirit beast!"
Yu Tianyun couldn't help but sigh, then said:
"Zhu Qing, the soul skill you acquired this time is extremely suitable for you. Your third soul skill is far more powerful than that of an average Soul Master. With your burst of speed, control-type soul masters will have a real headache. Come and have some more grilled fish, then we'll head back to the academy..."
At this point, Yu Tianyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a mischievous smile:
"By the way, Zhuqing, I helped you obtain such a powerful soul skill. Just saying thank you isn't enough; I need to show some real appreciation."
Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment, then bit her lip, lowered her head, and said in a voice barely audible:
"Next time, Rongrong and I will have you do those things together..."
Then she quickly snatched the grilled fish from Yu Tianyun's hand, sat down by the campfire, put her legs together, turned to one side, and lowered her head to bite into the tender fish meat, hiding the blush on her face.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianyun was overjoyed and couldn't help but imagine Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing using those shameful tricks to please him. This made him so happy that he almost drooled.
