[After a loving but firm lesson, Dai Mubai finally realized his mistake.]
[You forgave him because he was bruised and battered.]
[Just tell him he doesn't need to prepare whale glue for you anymore; he can just convert it into gold soul coins.]
Don't refuse the whale glue that's offered to you in the simulation.
Instead, it allows for the conversion of cash into Gold Soul Coins.
Su Mu was not surprised at all.
After all, he was a transmigrator.
For more than a decade, he has been unable to afford luxury items like whale glue.
But he was already very familiar with the situation of whale glue in this era.
It can be said that in this era...
Whale glue aged for ten or even a hundred years is the real hard currency in the market.
The price is extremely high.
Because this thing is now only used as an auxiliary item.
The true effect of strengthening the physique and increasing the upper limit of soul ring absorption has not yet been discovered.
Therefore, the vast majority of people who can afford such luxury goods are weak and powerless nobles.
They are physically weak and have poor strength; ten or a hundred years would be just right.
They can't withstand it for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
If you actually use it, you might end up killing yourself.
Therefore, whale glue, which has been around for thousands of years, is mainly used for medicinal purposes in this era.
Its value is actually very low.
Therefore, in the simulation, he refused the ready-made whale glue prepared by Dai Mubai.
Instead, he can ask the other party to give him cash; there's no problem with that at all.
[After resolving the minor incident with Dai Mubai, your days returned to their extremely regular and monotonous spiritual practice.]
[During the day, you work up a sweat, frantically squeezing every last drop of energy out of yourself.]
[At night, you channel your soul power, meditate diligently, and make the most of every minute to strengthen yourself.]
[Although you still go to challenge the twin girls to a match once or twice a week at Tiger's invitation.]
[But this level of enjoyment will not hinder your progress in becoming stronger.]
[On the contrary, with the aid of whale glue, the rate at which your physique and soul power are improving has become even more rapid than before.]
[When you were nine years and four months old.]
[Your soul power has broken through the level 30 bottleneck.]
[You followed Flender and arrived at Sunset Forest once more.]
["Hongjun, what do you want this time?" Flender pushed up his glasses, looking at your well-defined muscles that couldn't be hidden even in loose clothing, and asked.]
[Your performance over the past few years has filled him, as your teacher, with pride and high expectations.]
[So he's really curious to know, little monster, what kind of Soul Beast will you choose to hunt for your third Soul Ring.]
[You didn't answer his question, but instead fixed your gaze on a soul beast soaring high in the sky.]
[That was a strange bird over five meters long.]
[Its entire body was covered in jet-black feathers, with long tail feathers and a crest of blood-red flesh on its head. With each breath, it exhaled scorching black smoke into the air.]
[That's a black-feathered phoenix.]
[A subspecies of soul beast possessing extremely pure phoenix bloodline, characterized by its ferocious nature and astonishing combat power.]
["Teacher, I want it!" you exclaimed, pointing to the sky, as Flender waited expectantly.]
[Flender looked in the direction you were pointing, and then he fell silent.]
["no!!!"]
[After a brief silence, Flender resolutely refused: "That's a three-thousand-year-old black-feathered phoenix! Even an ordinary Soul Master would have a hard time absorbing a seventeen-hundred-year-old one. Choosing it as your third Soul Ring is too risky; I absolutely will not allow it!"]
["Hongjun, listen to me. This is something you can not handle right now. Choose something else."]
[Faced with Flender's dissuasion, you shook your head and said, "Teacher, I want it. I can feel that its Soul Rings are very compatible with my martial spirit. If I absorb it, I will definitely be able to obtain a satisfactory Soul Skill."]
["But don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. If things get tough, I'll stop immediately and won't try to fight it out."]
[You've made your decision clear: you're determined to have this black-feathered phoenix.]
[Flender wanted to persuade you further, but you did not give him the chance and acted directly.]
[Wind tracks pave the way, demonic flames clear the path.]
[You summoned your Martial Soul and charged straight in.]
[Flender was furious and really wanted to drag you back and beat you up.]
[But even under these circumstances, he still chose to stand up for you and prevent anything from happening to you.]
[Afterwards, relying on your first and second soul skills, along with your self-created Demonic Flame Rasengan and Flying Fire Flow Blade, you successfully blasted the Black Feather Phoenix to death.]
[Then, amidst Flender's repeated admonitions and trepidation, you sat cross-legged and guided the deep purple Soul Ring into your body.]
[A raging torrent of soul power instantly overwhelmed your meridian defenses, attempting to burst your body apart.]
[But the resilient membrane within your body, composed of countless layers of whale collagen, tightly locks in this energy.]
[No matter how much your soul power surges and struggles, your physical body remains as immovable as a towering furnace.]
[Two hours later, you opened your eyes.]
[A deep purple hue flashed in your eyes, instantly distorting the surrounding air and causing the temperature to rise sharply.]
[Third Soul Skill: Evil Fire Furnace.]
[This is a very powerful soul skill that will make you feel very satisfied.]
[This soul skill has two effects: active and passive.]
[The passive effect of this soul skill is that it will use your body as a furnace, continuously tempering your physique and soul power with evil fire 24 hours a day.]
[Although the effect is very weak, and the tempering process will also cause pain.]
[But you don't care at all. After all, this is a passive ability that continuously makes you stronger without you having to control it.]
[The minor, fleeting pain is insignificant compared to the positive effects.]
[Not to mention, the active effect of this soul skill is even more explosive.]
[After casting this spell, soul power consumption will double, but combat power will also double.]
[Most importantly, while doubling combat power, it also generates the effect of an evil fire impact.]
[If he do not attack, nothing will happen; but if he does, any type of attack will carry this special effect.]
[The effect of this special effect is very simple and straightforward: it doubles the pain suffered by the opponent.]
"Holy crap!!!"
"One soul skill, three effects!!!"
Su Mu lay in the bathtub, enjoying himself while watching the simulation panel.
He was also amazed by the Soul Skill of [Evil Fire Furnace].
One is passive, the other is active.
Most importantly, this active effect also comes with a double-pain, evil fire impact effect.
This is insane!
Could a mere three-thousand-year-old black-feathered phoenix really produce such a top-tier soul skill?
Even as a wall hanging.
At this moment, Su Mu couldn't help but want to say something.
Bro, shut it down!
If we play like this, how will we play when those scoundrels and Yu Xiaogang come?
