If Quanyi hadn't approached the Dragon Flame Beast, and if his attack hadn't accidentally hit the tough scales, he wouldn't have been able to deliver a one-hit kill.
Besides the power of the Soul Skill, it also required Quanyi's grasp of timing and opportunity.
"What Soul Skill was that?"
Behind Quanyi, Quan Li, who was backing him up, appeared at Quanyi's side.
He asked Quanyi in surprise about the Soul Skill he had just released.
"It's the Scorching Ray from the Seven Thousand Year Exploding Flame Giant Bear. However, it only possesses such power with the blessing of the Soul Bone Skill and the Second Soul Skill," Quanyi explained.
Before the two could delve deeper into their conversation, subtle trembling sounds began to echo around them.
The sounds surrounded them, approaching from all directions.
It was a small-scale beast tide, mainly composed of Three Thousand Year Wind Chasing Wolf Soul Beasts, numbering around several hundred.
They were drawn by the scent of meat.
However, as they approached the vicinity, the leading Eight Thousand Year Wind Chasing Wolf abruptly halted its charge.
Because it smelled the aura of the terrifying Soul Beast overlord—the Dragon Flame Beast.
But, at the same moment it smelled the aura, it also discovered that the Soul Beast overlord seemed to be dead.
The cunning alpha wolf immediately commanded the pack to stop.
It used its keen sense of smell to investigate the situation.
With its sense of smell, it also detected the scent of two humans.
One had a slightly weaker aura, and the other had an aura that it couldn't sense anything unusual about.
After pondering for a moment, unable to resist the temptation of the roasted meat and the Dragon Flame Beast's corpse, the alpha wolf decided to take over this area.
Under the leadership of the alpha wolf, the stopped pack once again launched a charge towards Quanyi and the others.
"As expected, the strong ones arrive faster. These weak ones can only follow behind the strong to eat leftovers."
Quan Li looked at the pack of wolves with disdain.
"Xiao Yi, wait for me, I'll go disperse them."
He stepped on the hard Dragon Scale, shattering it.
Relying on his powerful physical strength, he directly flew down from the towering corpse.
Quan Li's figure descended from the sky, accurately landing on the alpha wolf.
"Crack."
"Bang!"
First, there was a loud sound of bones breaking, followed by the sound of the earth being crushed.
In the blink of an eye, Quan Li had shattered the alpha wolf's skull.
The alpha wolf fell.
Quan Li stood up from the alpha wolf's corpse, his hands covered with dark Gauntlets, and behind him appeared eight Soul Ring halos of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.
From his small body, he emitted a powerful aura far exceeding that of the Dragon Flame Beast.
The wolf pack was swept by Quan Li's aura, and a look of fear flashed in their eyes. They didn't even bother to avenge the alpha wolf, and fled in panic in all directions.
This was Quan Li, the Soul Douluo known as Iron Fist.
Soul Power level, eighty-five.
He could crush the skull of an Eight Thousand Year Soul Beast with just his physical strength.
"So strong."
This was the first time Quanyi had seen Quan Li when he was serious.
But even so, this was only the tip of the iceberg of a Soul Douluo expert.
But even just a glimpse of it made Quanyi yearn for it endlessly.
After dispersing the beast tide, Quan Li quickly returned to Quanyi's side.
"Alright, leave the rest to me. You just need to relax and absorb the Soul Ring."
The serious Quan Li gave Quanyi an unprecedented sense of security.
"Okay."
Quanyi sat down cross-legged.
From the Blazing Sun Heart, he took out a small gourd.
This was Green Bamboo Brew.
In three months, Quanyi's mental strength had reached the limit of what it could grow to at this stage.
The number of mental bodies had reached an astonishing six.
Although the number of mental bodies was not directly equivalent to mental strength, Quanyi could not have achieved multitasking with six minds without mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
The effect of Green Bamboo Brew had reached its limit, but drinking it had a significant effect on maintaining high mental strength.
Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring could not be too cautious.
Taking a sip of Green Bamboo Brew, Quanyi adjusted his mental state to its best.
Then, Quanyi summoned his Martial Soul and reached out to guide the Soul Ring over.
Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
An unprecedented sense of weight emanated from the Soul Ring.
"Is this the Ten Thousand Year level Soul Ring?"
The moment he touched it, Quanyi could feel its difference from the Thousand Year level Soul Ring.
However, even so, Quanyi was very confident.
Through the Limit Test, Quanyi could confirm that his physical strength could fully withstand this Twenty Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"Then I'll start."
After saying that, Quanyi began to absorb the Soul Ring.
Under the guidance of his consciousness, the black Soul Ring quickly shrank and slipped onto the Gauntlets.
The energy of the Soul Ring poured into Quanyi's body.
From the beginning, the absorption of Soul Power was accompanied by a strong sense of pain.
This was a swelling sensation from the meridians, a kind of pain that Quanyi was familiar with.
At the same time, Quanyi suppressed the pain and circulated the Soul Power cultivation method.
Even though the energy of the Dragon Flame Beast was like the sea, with no end in sight.
But Quanyi was prepared for this.
He had long been prepared for a long-term battle.
His powerful mental strength began to control the majestic energy in an orderly manner within his body.
Quanyi's Soul Power cultivation method had undergone earth-shattering changes in three months.
Due to the opening of the hidden meridians, Quanyi greatly modified the Soul Power cultivation method around it.
Experiments showed that the new Soul Power cultivation method achieved a 50% increase in Soul Power improvement speed.
In other words, even in a barren land, Quanyi could produce the cultivation effect of a Simulated Cultivation Environment during cultivation.
Moreover, the new cultivation method made Quanyi's Soul Power more refined than before.
The effect of the Du Meridian was to enhance Yang energy, regulate the internal organs, and have an extremely enhancing effect on the spine, waist, and kidneys.
Among them, the effect of enhancing Yang energy had excellent benefits for Quanyi's Fire-attribute Soul Power.
It was the meridian in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians that was of the greatest benefit to Quanyi.
The massive Soul Ring energy surged into Quanyi's body, but as long as this thick energy passed through his long Du Meridian, a large portion of it would disappear.
Even though Quanyi wasn't trying to absorb it, the meridians were automatically absorbing the Soul Power.
Seeing that the hidden meridians had such an effect, Quanyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to the effect of the hidden meridians, the difficulty of absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was reduced by several degrees.
Quanyi separated a wisp of his spiritual power to investigate the anomalies in his meridians.
The meridians were expanding, and Soul Power was continuously pouring into his body. This was a crisis, but also an opportunity.
Quanyi recalled the feeling he had during the Limit Test and began searching for other hidden meridians.
Being able to separate a wisp of his spiritual power in this situation was a sign of Quanyi's ease.
Using a Fourth Soul Skill to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Quanyi was likely not the first on the continent.
However, there probably weren't many who had as much leeway as Quanyi.
Gradual progress and thorough preparation had allowed Quanyi to reach this point.
All the previous hardships seemed to be bearing fruit at this moment.
Five or six hours had passed in the outside world.
Day turned into night.
Quan Li stood motionless behind Quanyi, watching him.
When Quan Li noticed that Quanyi's aura was gradually calming down, the weight in his heart lessened considerably.
The most dangerous moment had passed; all that remained was to absorb the remaining Soul Power step by step.
Quanyi had the same thought.
Just as both of them were feeling relieved, an accident bit the relaxed pair hard.
Quanyi's body began to tremble violently.
"What's going on? Wasn't the energy supposed to be calming down?"
Quanyi's condition made Quan Li's heart sink to the bottom of the sea.
