"Have you all truly decided?"
The Blue Silver King's expression changed dramatically as he looked at the surrounding plant-type soul beasts.
In response, all of the plant-type soul beasts once again released their soul power, expressing their willingness to go through fire and water for their king!
A moment later, the Blue Silver King sighed softly and nodded.
"Very well. Since all of you are willing to sacrifice yourselves for this child, then I'll help you just this once. Besides, there is also the aura of my Emperor within this child's martial soul."
Pausing for a moment, he looked at the bewildered Anna and explained,
"Child, I have already discussed this with the plant-type soul beasts. They are willing to sacrifice their cultivation for you.
You won't need to do anything in a moment. We will transfer our soul power to you, and that soul power will condense into a soul ring for you to absorb. All you need to do is guard your dantian and prepare to take in the soul ring."
Although Anna didn't know exactly what the Blue Silver King and the plant-type soul beasts intended to do, she understood that they were going to offer themselves to help her obtain a suitable soul ring.
She quickly looked around at the plant-type soul beasts and bowed three times with sincerity.
"My people, thank you! Although I am human, please rest assured: one day, I will surely become the true King of Plants, and when that time comes, I will repay you all!"
As if they understood her words, the plant-type soul beasts swayed their bodies in response to their king.
"All right, child, sit down quickly. We're about to begin condensing your soul ring!"
"Okay!"
Anna's eyes immediately revealed determination. She sat cross-legged at once, thinking to herself:
These plant-type soul beasts are willing to sacrifice their lives for me because they believe that one day I will become the Plant King. I must not betray their trust!
With that thought in mind, she adjusted her body and breathing, then gave a slight nod to the Blue Silver King.
Seeing that Anna was ready, the Blue Silver King erupted with a vast and majestic soul power. It rose into the sky, shooting straight toward the clouds.
Although his soul power was extremely profound, it was also very warm. It didn't frighten Anna at all—on the contrary, she felt comfortable.
Right after, the surrounding plant-type soul beasts also released soul power of various colors, resonating with that of the Blue Silver King.
Eventually, the soul power of tens of thousands of soul beasts twisted together into a single rope of energy, gently flowing into Anna's body. Dazzling, brilliant light flared out, enveloping her entire figure.
The light was so bright that Dai Weisi had to close his eyes and use his spiritual sense to observe Anna's condition.
Within that radiant white glow, he saw Anna greedily absorbing the surrounding soul power, a white soul ring floating around her body.
As soul power continued pouring into the milky-white soul ring, it took only three minutes for it to evolve into a yellow hundred-year soul ring.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the hundred-year ring evolved once more—becoming a purple thousand-year soul ring. The more soul power infused, the older the ring became, and the stronger the soul skill it contained.
Time passed in a blur. Four hours slipped by in an instant before the white glow around Anna suddenly dispersed, revealing her silhouette. Floating beside her was a pitch-black fifth soul ring.
"Icefire Evil Eyes!"
Dai Weisi opened his Icefire Evil Eyes to inspect her cultivation and was stunned to discover that her soul power had already reached an astonishing level—Rank 53!
At that moment, Anna abruptly opened her beautiful eyes and slowly stood up from the ground. She bowed to the Blue Silver King and the surrounding plant-type soul beasts.
"Everyone… thank you!"
"No need to thank us, child. They all did this willingly, because you are their king!"
The Blue Silver King chuckled and praised her,
"Child, among all the human soul masters I have seen, your talent is the strongest. You're so young, yet you've already broken through to Rank 50, and you can absorb soul rings beyond your level.
Normally, a soul master's fifth ring can be at most around twelve thousand years. But you broke that limit. The soul ring just now was at least thirty thousand years old, and you absorbed it without a scratch—clearly, your talent is extraordinary."
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Grandpa."
The Blue Silver King laughed.
"Good child, I hope that the next time we meet, you will already have become a Titled Douluo."
"I definitely will!"
Determination flashed in Anna's eyes. After saying goodbye, she and Dai Weisi departed the Blue Silver Forest together.
Once they exited the forest, Dai Weisi couldn't help but ask,
"Nana, what is your fifth soul skill? Can you show me?"
He was very curious about the soul skill bestowed by the sacrifice of the Blue Silver King and countless plant-type soul beasts. He wanted to see what kind of ability such a unique soul ring would give Anna.
"Of course, Brother Vis. My fifth soul skill is called Divine Herb Healing. Watch closely."
Anna laughed heartily. After releasing her martial soul, she began to circulate her soul power.
Whoosh—
In an instant, the fifth soul ring flared with black radiance.
The Ink Jade Divine Herb in her hand rapidly grew, coiling around her right arm.
Just then, Anna suddenly produced a sharp dagger and sliced a wound into her own arm. Crimson blood spurted out!
Dai Weisi originally thought he would see blood flowing endlessly, but just as the blood appeared, the Ink Jade Divine Herb emitted a faint green light. The wound closed at a speed visible to the naked eye, restoring her arm to its original state.
"Brother, this is my Divine Herb Healing soul skill. It can rapidly close wounds and has great restorative effects on bruises and sprains. It can even quickly mend broken bones—but it can't regrow severed limbs or anything that extreme."
Hearing the description of Divine Herb Healing, Dai Weisi fell into thought. Isn't this like a weaker version of 'Wildfire can't burn it all, spring wind brings life anew'?
"Is that all it can do?"
Dai Weisi asked. Although this soul skill was impressive, even Jiangzhu could do something similar with ease. A thirty-thousand-year soul skill seemed a bit underwhelming.
Besides, he still had the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone. Once Anna absorbed it, she would directly gain the soul skill 'Wildfire Can't Burn It All, Spring Wind Brings Life Anew.' Its healing speed and effectiveness would surpass Divine Herb Healing by far.
Dai Weisi couldn't help but feel that Anna had wasted a soul ring slot.
But Anna only smiled calmly and shook her head slightly.
"Of course it's not that simple, Brother. Look!"
As she spoke, Anna circulated her soul power once more. The Ink Jade Divine Herb grew another small segment. She swiftly swung her dagger and severed it, leaving a vine half a meter long in her hand.
She then cut her arm again and wrapped the vine around the wound. As the Ink Jade Divine Herb shone with light, the wound healed once more—and the herb vanished afterward.
"Brother, after I use my fifth soul skill, the Ink Jade Divine Herb that grows can exist for up to a year.
During that time, if you get injured, you only need to wrap the herb around the wound, and before long, it will completely heal.
So, what do you think, Brother Vis? My soul skill is quite practical, right?"
As soon as she finished, Dai Weisi' heart trembled. Isn't this basically a walking medical kit?
