Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 101.100. Metamorphosis, The Journey Begins

Ling Bingtian didn't go down to fight alongside them. If Huo Yuhao had the support of his top-tier auxiliary soul skill, Bei Bei and Tang Ya wouldn't have been able to defeat a small Star Moon Vine with 1,300 years of cultivation. Ling Bingtian felt that there was no need for Shrek Academy to go.

As it turns out, Ling Bingtian's idea was perfectly sound.

With the powerful support of Huo Yuhao's first soul skill in a million years, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were like they had cheated in a shooting game in their previous lives. Facing the attack of the mutated Star Moon Vine, Bei Bei and Tang Ya perfectly dodged it with the Ghost Shadow Step of the Tang Sect. Then Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw and Thunderous Might were used like they were free to strike the mutated Star Moon Vine. The key point was that the places he hit were extremely clever, giving Tang Ya the opportunity to get close to the core of the mutated Star Moon Vine.

Finally, as Tang Ya shot three hidden swords into the core of the mutated Star Moon Vine, its active branches immediately calmed down, and a light purple soul ring slowly rose above the core, symbolizing that the mutated Star Moon Vine had died completely.

From beginning to end, their teamwork was absolutely perfect.

Seeing that the battle was over, Ling Bingtian shrugged, summoned his martial spirit, and flew down from the valley.

While waiting for Ling Bingtian to land, Tang Ya couldn't wait to sit cross-legged and begin absorbing the soul ring of the mutated Star Moon Vine.

Beside him, Huo Yuhao also kept his martial soul in check, and together with Bei Bei, they vigilantly watched their surroundings to prevent any possible attacks from soul beasts.

After Ling Bingtian landed, Huo Yuhao shared his first soul skill with Ling Bingtian, allowing him to observe his surroundings more carefully.

Through Huo Yuhao's soul skill, Ling Bingtian could even see the energy in the soul ring flowing into Tang Ya's body bit by bit, and he could also see Tang Ya's body trembling at a very low frequency, obviously adapting to the energy infusion in the soul ring and undergoing the Star Moon Tempering.

However, Ling Bingtian didn't pay much attention to her. She wasn't his type, nor was she the kind of outstanding talent he needed. If it weren't for the close connections Tang Ya and Bei Bei had with Huo Yuhao, Ling Bingtian wouldn't really care about her.

And so, the three of them stayed in the valley, waiting for Tang Ya to finish absorbing her third soul ring.

Perhaps because this valley is located on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, during Tang Ya's entire absorption process, only a few hundred-year-old soul beasts tried to approach the valley, but they were all easily defeated and driven away by Bei Bei.

For a quasi-Soul Master, absorbing a thousand-year soul ring is by no means an easy task. In addition, the unique characteristics of the Star Moon Vine make Tang Ya's absorption time even longer.

It took nearly an hour and a half of absorption before the purple soul ring above Tang Ya's head slowly disappeared and merged into her body.

Seeing this, Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao breathed a deep sigh of relief. Nearly half an hour after Tang Ya began absorbing the spirit ring, Huo Yuhao had already lost control of his first spirit skill. Therefore, for the next hour, they had to rely on their highly tense nerves to persevere.

Even knowing that Ling Bingtian, a master, was by their side, the two still dared not completely relax their vigilance, which ultimately led to them feeling somewhat tired.

But now that Tang Ya has absorbed the spirit ring, everything is naturally fine.

The moment Tang Ya opened her eyes after absorbing the spirit ring, she jumped up, lightly punched Ling Bingtian, who was sitting beside her looking completely bewildered, on the shoulder, then hugged the relaxed Bei Bei beside her and happily said, "I did it!"

As Tang Ya spoke, three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—rapidly rose from beneath her feet. The most striking was the thousand-year-old purple spirit ring in the third position, its bright purple radiating a noble aura. From this moment on, Tang Ya's strength had entered a higher level.

Beibei smiled at the lovely person who was hugging her, touched Tang Ya's soft long hair, and congratulated her, "Xiao Ya, congratulations."

Huo Yuhao quickly offered his congratulations, while Ling Bingtian stared at Tang Ya speechlessly. "You've succeeded in absorbing it, so why did you punch me?" If he hadn't been resting with his eyes closed until he was a little sleepy, Ling Bingtian wouldn't have been hit by Tang Ya.

But soon, Tang Ya told Ling Bingtian the answer to this question.

After a brief, intimate moment with Beibei, Tang Ya turned to him, her face flushed, and exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Ling! The Star Moon Vine spirit ring you recommended is really useful!"

Then, Tang Ya recounted in detail the entire process of absorbing the thousand-year-old mutated Star Moon Vine Soul Ring.

The process of absorbing the spirit ring went very smoothly until Tang Ya felt an energy that was distinctly different from the spirit ring's energy surge out and quickly flow to all parts of her body. Tang Ya then knew that the Star Moon Tempering that Ling Bingtian had mentioned was real.

As that energy flowed through her body, Tang Ya felt incredibly comfortable all over.

Tang Ya could no longer sense any of the unusual things she used to feel in her martial soul after this energy flowed through her.

Most importantly, Tang Ya opened her right hand, and several very different Blue Silver Grasses emerged from her right hand.

Although Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass had become much thicker and tougher after being nourished by two hundred-year soul rings, its essence as Blue Silver Grass could still be seen from its blue outer skin.

But now, the Blue Silver Grass in Tang Ya's hand has changed.

The original blue surface has now turned pure black, with silver lines appearing on the black surface.

Looking at these silver patterns, Ling Bingtian vaguely felt that they seemed to form the shape of stars and the moon.

'It seems Tang Ya has really gained a lot this time!' Ling Bingtian thought to himself. Tang Ya's last sentence confirmed Ling Bingtian's thoughts.

"With the help of the Star Moon Life Vine Soul Ring and the Star Moon Body Tempering, the evil attributes in my previous martial soul should have been completely eliminated. I can no longer feel those vague sensations I used to have. Furthermore, my Blue Silver Grass martial soul has also evolved to a certain extent during this soul ring absorption process."

"It should be called Star Moon Dark Silver Grass now!" Tang Ya said excitedly. The blush on her face hadn't faded since she started talking, which showed how excited she was.

"The Star Moon Dark Silver Grass is different from the previous Blue Silver Grass. It is a special existence that carries the dark attribute and the power of the star and moon. Now, I can use the power of the star and moon to unleash even more powerful strength in the dark night," Tang Ya said proudly, completely forgetting how unwilling she was before, and kept babbling on and on in front of the three of them.

Even after Ling Bingtian left in frustration, she kept talking to Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao, turning their initially shocked expressions into expressions of helplessness.

When Tang Ya finally finished speaking, her mouth parched, Ling Bingtian quickly returned before giving her a chance to drink water and continue, saying, "Now that you're done, shouldn't we set off for Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao both nodded quickly, agreeing with Ling Bingtian's point of view.

Although the two were happy that Tang Ya's martial soul had evolved, they couldn't resist Tang Ya's lecture!

Now, the most important thing is to dissuade Tang Ya from continuing her story.

Sure enough, after listening to Ling Bingtian's words, Tang Ya finally realized that this was still the Star Dou Great Forest, not a place where she should stay for long.

So she nodded in agreement with Ling Bingtian's idea.

Seeing this, the three boys breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously, and then quickly led Tang Ya away towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest. They really didn't want to hear Tang Ya's story anymore.

Interrupting her would be impolite, but not interrupting her would only annoy her with all her nonsense.

Ling Bingtian would rather fight a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast for three hundred rounds than listen to Tang Ya's endless ramblings.

In the end, with Ling Bingtian and Huo Yuhao deliberately avoiding the conversation, only Bei Bei remained with a helpless expression, listening to Tang Ya's excited words all the way.
