Chapter 376 The Fourth Soul Ring
Snow Empress slowly stepped forward, her cold gaze falling on the soul ring.

"This soul beast has an extremely high metal content in its body, feeds on metal, and its physical defense is indeed amazing."

Xue Di spoke, her voice as cold as ice, "Its soul ring should greatly enhance your ability to manipulate metal elements, especially in terms of the hardness, toughness, and ductility of metals."

Lin You nodded; this was exactly what he needed.

If he could enhance his control over the physical properties of metals, it would undoubtedly be a great asset to him.

He looked at the dark spirit ring, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. A 30,000-year spirit ring was almost effortless for his level 40 spirit power to absorb. Moreover, he had subdued the spirit beast with skillful force, without engaging in a fierce battle, so the spirit ring's energy was relatively stable.

All I can say is that the deceased was in a stable emotional state.

"I'm starting to absorb it," Lin You said to Xue Di, then sat cross-legged beside the metal soul beast's corpse and placed his palm on the dark black soul ring.

The immense energy of the soul ring surged into his body instantly, like a torrent rushing along his meridians. The intense impact made Lin You's body tremble slightly, but he gritted his teeth and circulated his soul power with all his might, guiding this energy to merge with himself.

The energy of the spirit ring was extremely pure, carrying a strong metallic aura, seemingly trying to metallize Lin You's body as well. However, Lin You's body, having undergone bone forging and blood exchange, as well as the baptism of pills during this period, had extremely strong resistance to this energy impact.

He could clearly feel that the energy of the spirit ring was gradually transforming his metal element spirit power, making it more solid and controllable. His affinity for metal was also constantly increasing, as if he himself was a piece of metal that could be deformed at will.

Time passed second by second, and a faint dark golden light began to appear on Lin You's body, echoing the color of the soul ring. His breathing became long and powerful, and with each breath, it seemed as if he was absorbing the free metallic elements in the surrounding air.

Xue Di quietly guarded Lin You's side, her icy blue eyes observing his condition to ensure that nothing unexpected happened to him. The Demon Forest was fraught with danger, and even on the outskirts, other soul beasts could appear at any time.

Lin You was completely immersed in the process of absorbing the spirit ring. The metal element spirit power in his body was constantly growing stronger and perfectly merging with the energy of the new spirit ring. He could feel that his range of perception of metal was expanding, and he could even "hear" the metallic minerals contained in the surrounding rocks and soil "whispering" to him.

This feeling was very magical, as if the world had become more three-dimensional and real in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, when the dark black spirit ring had completely merged into Lin You's body, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Two dazzling golden beams shot from his eyes, carrying a sharp metallic edge, instantly slicing through the air.

He felt the abundant power within his body. Although his soul power level did not break through immediately, his overall strength and control over the metal element had undergone a qualitative leap.

The fourth spirit ring, black, is at the 30,000-year level.

"Success." Lin You slowly exhaled, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

He stood up, sensing the changes in his body. Although absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring had consumed a lot of his mental and physical energy, the feeling of being filled with power invigorated him.

"How are you feeling?" Xue Di asked as she stepped forward.

"Very good." Lin You moved his wrist, feeling the power coming from his fingertips. "This spirit ring greatly enhances my metal element, especially in terms of manipulating metal."

With a thought, the metal soul beast corpse on the ground began to tremble slightly, and the metal material covering its surface seemed to come alive, slowly wriggling until it finally condensed into a metal sphere that floated in front of Lin You.

He could clearly feel that he could change the shape, hardness, and density of the metal sphere at will, as if it were not the corpse of a soul beast, but a part of his body.

"It's really good."

Xue Di nodded approvingly, "With this spirit ring, your advantage will be even more obvious when facing enemies with metal attributes. Perhaps we should call you a spirit master killer?"

Lin You smiled and said, "What's the use of this? Even an ordinary Soul Master, if strong enough, can overcome any technique with sheer force." He put the metal ball away. It was formed from the corpse of a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast and contained abundant metallic energy. It might come in handy in the future.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Lin You did not leave the Demon Forest immediately.

Now that he's here, he plans to stay a while to consolidate the spirit ring he just acquired and use the special environment to do some cultivation.

Moreover, he had some questions for Xue Di to ask her, regarding the evil-eyed tyrant ruler deep in the Demon Forest, and the "visit" that Xue Di had just mentioned by Di Tian.

The two found a relatively safe place to camp on the outskirts of the Demon Forest.

The Demon Forest is even more sinister at night, with all sorts of strange noises echoing in the darkness, sending chills down your spine.

Lin You lit a campfire, and the warm light dispelled the surrounding chill.

He sat by the campfire, watching the flickering flames, his thoughts drifting far away.

"Snow Emperor, you just said that Senior Emperor Tian is going to 'visit' the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler again?" Lin You broke the silence.

Xue Di sat opposite him, her cool face softened by the firelight.

"Ah."

She responded calmly, "Di Tian wants to integrate all the soul beast forces on the continent to prepare for potential future crises. He has been to the Star Dou Great Forest, the far north, and other forests and seas. The Demon Forest is the last place he needs to persuade."

"It seems the Evil Eye Tyrant is not so easy to talk to," Lin You said.

"It has a capricious nature and is used to being alone."

Xue Di explained, "Moreover, its power system is different from ours, leaning more towards spiritual and evil attributes, which is incompatible with Di Tian's dragon system. It does not want to be restrained by humans, nor does it believe that humans can pose a real threat to soul beasts."

"What kind of crisis might arise in the future?" Lin You asked curiously.

Xue Di paused for a moment, seemingly considering how to phrase her words.

"I don't know the specifics either."

She slowly began to speak, “This is what Di Tian told me. He said that the landscape of the continent is about to undergo a major change, and the living environment for soul beasts will become even harsher. They must unite to survive.”

"That sounds serious." Lin You frowned slightly.

“Yes.” Xue Di looked at the flames, her gaze deep. “Di Tian wouldn’t speak without reason. He could sense some kind of premonition, a premonition that made him uneasy.”

Lin You fell into deep thought.

Di Tian, ​​an old man who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, had a premonition that was not unfounded. The continent's landscape was undergoing a drastic change, and the living environment for soul beasts was deteriorating. What could this be? Could it be related to the future development of soul guidance technology? Or was something even more terrifying about to happen?

Or is the Silver Dragon King about to escape? Something doesn't seem right. The divine realm hasn't been flushed away yet. If he really comes out, the gods will probably descend to earth immediately, and might even give Lao San a legitimate reason to take action and capture him to be their slave.
