Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 32 Third Soul Skill: Fallen Wings
The resentment of the soul contained within the Dark Swan Soul Ring was separated and quickly integrated into the origin of his Martial Soul through the Heart Demon Pattern covering Ye Xixuan's body.

With the amplification effect of the Heart Demon Mark, he was fully able to withstand the impact of mental and soul power during the process of absorbing the soul ring.

The soul power within his body surged violently through his meridians as if boiling, but Ye Xixuan remained focused, calmly assimilating and absorbing it step by step. Although his bones, muscles, and meridians all over his body felt sore and swollen to varying degrees, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Elder Mu had been observing Ye Xixuan's condition from the side until his breathing had completely stabilized before he withdrew his attention.

Talent aside, it is extremely rare for Ye Xixuan to have such composure at his current age.

As a top-tier soul beast comparable to the Emerald Swan, absorbing the Dark Swan's soul ring is no easy feat. The attributes and energy levels of its soul ring are vastly different from those of other soul beasts, and the absorption process is inevitably accompanied by extraordinary pain.

If it were any other dark-attribute soul beast, Ye Xixuan might even have tried to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

A deep, yet somewhat dense, purple third soul ring pulsated around Ye Xixuan's body, and the dark purple light gradually disappeared into his body. He remained sitting there motionless.

This time, the absorption of the spirit ring took longer than the previous two times. From dawn to dusk, it lasted for more than six hours. This far exceeded the normal time for a spirit master to fuse spirit rings.

Unlike ordinary Soul Masters, Ye Xixuan, as a Soul Master of Ultimate Attributes, experiences a self-compression of her Soul Power during cultivation from the moment she awakens her Martial Soul. Especially during the stage from level 30 to 70, the compression of her Soul Power reaches an appalling level in order to accumulate strength for later cultivation.

Of course, advantages and disadvantages always go hand in hand.

Although the cultivation speed of a Soul Master with ultimate attributes is slow at this stage, there are no bottlenecks. As long as they accumulate enough experience, they can easily break through.

The reason why it took Ye Xixuan so long to absorb the Dark Swan's soul ring was mainly because he was converting his original soul power into extremely compressed soul power. This process of condensing and converting soul power requires a certain amount of time.

Night fell again, and the silver moon seemed to hang high above the Sea God Pavilion. The cool moonlight enveloped the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion, casting the shadows of the golden tree's lush foliage on the ground, swaying gently in the breeze.

Just moments ago, Ye Xixuan, who had been restraining his soul power, suddenly became agitated. The instant he opened his eyes, three magnificent purple soul rings appeared beneath his feet, shimmering like ripples on water.

His eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and his every move exuded an inexplicable air of mystery. He rose gracefully from the ground, like a proud black swan stretching its body.

The next moment, a pair of jet-black wings suddenly sprouted from behind Ye Xixuan.

With a sudden flap of his wings, he propelled his body into the sky, his feathers covered in a viscous, dark purple light. His figure hovered beneath the silver moon, like a fallen angel, cold and malevolent, looking down upon all living beings from his lofty position.

"Wings of Fallen..." Ye Xixuan had already learned about his third soul skill through the mental imprint in his mind.

The ability to fly is just one of the side effects. The main function of the Fallen Wings is to condense pure dark elemental energy to accelerate the recovery of his soul power and greatly enhance the power of his soul skills.

This is definitely an extremely powerful amplification-type soul skill.

Moreover, the effect of accelerating the recovery speed of soul power is the most valuable, almost equivalent to a weakened version of a soul core, which will greatly enhance his ability to fight continuously.

With this point filled, Ye Xixuan finally no longer had any weaknesses.

However, a faint smile didn't appear on his face. Instead, his brows furrowed slightly, and he focused his attention on the black wings that had unfurled behind him. The Dark Swan's innate ability should have been Dark Wings; his third soul skill was called Fallen Wings because it incorporated pure evil energy into the foundation of darkness.

These evil auras naturally originated from Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.

Although Ye Xixuan himself was not affected, these evil auras remained deep within his martial soul's origin. Each time he helped Ma Xiaotao dispel the evil fire, he left a mark deep within his martial soul's origin.

It finally became apparent when he acquired his third spirit ring.

When Ye Xixuan unleashed the Wings of Corruption, he could clearly feel his emotions being affected by the evil and corrupting aura, but his heart was extremely pure, not to the point of affecting his personality.

At most, his actions during battles are filled with an evil influence.

In his Fallen Wings form, he looked exactly like a true Fallen Angel Martial Soul possessor.

With a thought, a dark demonic sword engraved with intricate patterns appeared in Ye Xixuan's right hand. Amplified by the Fallen Wings, the dark demonic sword flickered with blackish-purple lightning, seemingly distorting the surrounding space.

"Won't people mistake me for an evil spirit master if I do this?"

Ye Xixuan withdrew his martial spirit and floated down from the sky, his lips twitching slightly.

His dark-attribute martial soul was already enough to cause misunderstandings, and now he has a soul skill like Fallen Wings.

With this thought in mind, Ye Xixuan slowly walked into the first-floor hall of the Sea God Pavilion.

A rich golden light filled the hall, and he immediately spotted Old Mu lying on the wooden chair.

"Elder Mu, my third soul skill..."

"Is it tainted by evil influences?" Old Mu opened his cloudy eyes, seemingly unsurprised, and smiled slightly.

"I sensed it the first time you helped Xiaotao dispel the evil fire. This is a characteristic of your martial soul, and also your unique talent. The dark and evil aura in your martial soul corresponds perfectly to your pure and holy physique. As long as the two remain in balance, you will not be affected. When you reach the seventh-ring Soul Saint realm in the future, you will understand everything and will no longer be troubled by it."

"But won't this cause misunderstandings?" Ye Xixuan asked subconsciously.

Elder Mu smiled calmly, his gentle tone revealing an unusual arrogance and confidence, as if he had returned to the spirited youth of this Dragon God Douluo.

"What misunderstanding? As long as Shrek Academy exists, no one will dare to say anything. Besides, you yourself will not be affected by the evil aura in your martial soul. Although what I'm saying sounds realistic, it's the truth. As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore the rules, and even make the rules yourself."

　The fallen angel is relentlessly seeking out a holy angel for dual cultivation. And me, you little rat, I'm really going to unleash my power!!!
