Path of the Warrior: My Soul Ring Can Be Fused Indefinitely! - Chapter 17

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Night fell.

After returning from the Serene Forest Garden, Li Ran lowered his head and kept thinking about one thing.

‘Body Cultivation…’

Originally, it was unintentional. Nonetheless, after experiencing so many things, Li Ran suddenly felt that there were many ways to increase his strength. There was no need to stick to one path.

His focus was on the fusion of Soul Rings. Where could he get so many magical monsters?

The most effective way to solve this problem was Body Cultivation!

Body Cultivation could help him quickly increase the strength of his body in a short period, allowing him to have more capital and means to plunder and kill monsters!

As for the problem of the slow speed of Body Cultivation, it did not exist for Li Ran at all.

After cleansing his body with holy water, his talent in Body Cultivation could be considered unprecedented.

While he was thinking, the voice of a servant came from outside the door.

“Young Master, are you asleep?”

Ever since the news of Li Ran defeating Li Hao spread, the attitude of those servants toward him had undergone a 180-degree change, and they became exceptionally respectful.

“What’s the matter?”

“A disciple of the first elder sent someone to bring something over. I heard that it was promised to you in the training field…”

The door suddenly opened, revealing a fair and clean face.

“Where is it?”

The servant respectfully handed it over. It was a black ring.

‘He’s quite fast for bringing it over today.’

Li Ran studied the black ring. After sending all the servants away, he took out the thing inside.

The room was instantly filled with a domineering aura!

Once Li Ran felt the aura of the monster, he was shocked. When he saw the monster itself, the shock was even greater!

“An 800-year-old White Netherworld Tiger?!”

He did not expect it to be an 800-year-old monster. It could be considered a high-level monster!

Li Hao did not look like much, but his action was quite impressive.

‘In the future, I’ll spar with him more. He has so many treasures. I’ll dig them out bit by bit!’

Li Ran thought happily.

The White Netherworld Tiger’s body was still intact. Its black and white fur was abnormally smooth and had a bit of luster.

Even though it was dead, when Li Ran approached the monster, he was still intimidated by the suppressive aura.

It could be seen how fierce and invincible the monster was when it was alive.

“I hope it won’t be too difficult to fuse with it later.”

The high age of a monster was both a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

After all, if the age of a monster was too much higher than his Soul Ring, it would be more difficult to fuse it.

Li Ran held his breath and tried to absorb the Soul Ring of the White Netherworld Tiger. He spent a lot of effort to successfully absorb the Soul Ring into his body.

“As expected of a high-level monster. Its spirituality is so high.”

In front of a high-level monster, the effect of controlling his Soul Qi was very weak. After two fusions, he realized that the process tested the strength of his spirit and his ability to control the Soul Ring.

Li Ran only activated a part of his Soul Qi to guide the White Netherworld Tiger. He only used it to guide it and not control it.

It was to prevent the White Netherworld Tiger from suddenly becoming restless. If that happened, it would be much more difficult to suppress it!

Beast Soul Rings were generally more violent than other types of Soul Rings. If it was not for the fact that the attributes of Beast Soul Rings could be contained by stones, Li Ran would definitely choose magical items such as spiritual materials.

Li Ran focused his mind on the White Netherworld Tiger in his body. He slowly urged the stone to wake up from its silent state.

After the fusion of two Soul Rings, the stone’s intelligence became a little higher than when it was first awakened.

The moment Li Ran urged it, the stone seemed to know that there would be new nutrients entering its body, so it was unusually excited.

A spiritualized stone!

This time, it was even easier.

The stone could not help but float to the side of the White Netherworld Tiger. It spun non-stop as if it was looking for a suitable angle to proceed.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary stone. It was not aggressive at all and did not pose any danger.

The White Netherworld Tiger was not agitated. It did not bother with the stone at all.

“Heh, underestimating the enemy is a bad habit!”

Li Ran observed the movement in his body and said with a smile.

The stone was too deceiving.

Whether it was Li Hao or the White Netherworld Tiger, they were all deceived by the appearance of the stone.

“Boom.”

The stone found a direction and smashed toward the White Netherworld Tiger, wanting to forcefully fuse with it.

It was a sneak attack, but the White Netherworld Tiger was one of the most ferocious monsters in the mountain range. How could it be easily suppressed by the stone?

Not only was the White Netherworld Tiger not smashed, but it was provoked and immediately rebelled.

“Roar!”

The White Netherworld Tiger roared. It did not use any sharp claws or weapons. Just its roar that could shake the mountain range was enough to make people tremble in fear.

Due to the tiger roar, Li Ran’s internal organs shook, and blood flowed out directly.

The spleen closest to the White Netherworld Tiger was ruptured and bleeding non-stop. Some of the small blood vessels in his body were broken, and blood flowed out from many places.

On Li Ran’s fair skin, there were bruises of varying sizes, and it was a shocking sight to behold.

Nevertheless, this pain was nothing compared to tempering his body. He lowered his head to take a look at his injuries with incomparable emotion.

“What a powerful tiger roar. If I can completely refine such a Soul Skill for my own use, it’ll be another powerful technique!”

Fortunately, his body was powerful, so he did not suffer any serious injuries from the tiger’s roar.

Li Ran had a premonition that after this Soul Skill had been strengthened, the power it would unleash would be terrifying!

The White Netherworld Tiger was enraged. Its roar was incessant as it continuously forced back the stone that was approaching it.

Even so, the strange thing was that not a single crack appeared on the surface of the stone. It seemed that the tiger’s roar attack had no effect on it.

“Is the Tiger Roar the only Soul Skill?”

Li Ran observed for a long time and found that the White Netherworld Tiger could only attack with the Tiger Roar when faced with the threat of the stone. It did not use any other attacks.

“That’s easy!”

The stone, which had been floating and looking for an opportunity to attack, suddenly stopped moving. With a boom, it seemed like a huge object had broken out of the ground.

There was no shadow of the stone!

A mountain peak stood in front of the White Netherworld Tiger!

The mountain peak seemed to fall from the sky. The tiger’s roars seemed extremely weak and insignificant at this moment. They could not stop the peak from pressing down on the White Netherworld Tiger at all!

After all, the myriad of mountains and ravines were not even afraid of the might of the heavens, let alone the tiger’s roars.

Boom!

The ground shook violently. Next, it returned to normal and silence.

At this time, the tiger’s roars were completely cut off!

“Fuse!”

Li Ran spat out the blood in his mouth. He controlled the shrinking of the stone with his mind. The mountain peak disappeared and turned into a small mountain. It was visibly shrinking.

The white Qi was absorbed by the small mountain. When it was about to be completely absorbed, the mountain disappeared, and the original form of the stone was revealed.

“The nutrients of this monster aren’t bad!”

The stone had changed its appearance. Its surface was no longer bumpy and had turned smooth. Its color had changed from grey to a crystal-clear jade.

Having said that, the change in its appearance was secondary. What surprised Li Ran even more was that it seemed to be able to take on a different appearance.

It was not a small mountain.

Furthermore, it was not even a peak.

It was a vast and boundless desert!

A desert filled with the roars of a tiger!

There seemed to be an ancient monster lurking there. Every creature that entered the desert would be attacked by the Tiger Roar. Their bodies would explode and turn into bloody mists!

This was the real Tiger Roar!

The moment the roars were released, one would instantly die!

Li Ran was indescribably shocked.

His mind moved. According to the image that appeared in his mind just now, when he tried to turn the stone into a violent desert, the shaking stone fell into dead silence.

It was as if the illusory image that he saw just now was just a flash in the pan.

The jade-like stone rose and fell again. It regained its calmness and was no longer violent. It was as if the lethality just now did not come from it.

However, compared to before, the energy contained in the stone floating in his body was more than twice as fearsome!

If it were to hit Li Hao, what would appear on his head would not be as simple as a bump.

He would surely die!

“Is that another Soul Skill of the stone?”

Li Ran did not recover from his shock for a long time. He stared at the stone and muttered in a daze.

‘The Tiger Roar… The Desolate Desert…

‘Was it because it was fused with the White Netherworld Tiger?

‘Was that why the stone has refined a new Soul Skill?

‘If it fuses with other monsters, would it be able to refine new Soul Skills?

‘If that’s the case, the stone’s plasticity is very strong!’

Li Ran’s eyes instantly lit up!

Others needed to bind a new Soul Ring in order to obtain a new Soul Skill while he could possess all sorts of Soul Skills with just one Soul Ring!

Although Li Ran did not know when he would be able to use these new Soul Skills, he was still very excited when he realized this.

He had gained a lot today!

His Soul Ring had broken through to more than 1,400 years ago, and the stone had vaguely comprehended new Soul Skills. One day in the future, he would have another new Soul Skill!

It was because of this breakthrough that Li Ran suddenly looked forward to the day when he would enter the Desolate Millet Mountain Range. There would be even more monsters there.

The next change in the stone might be even more amazing!
