Chapter 7: Frost Sword Finger
"What a pity, this icy bamboo is more than five hundred years old, otherwise it would be really suitable to serve as your first spirit ring."
The two stopped several dozen meters away from the ice bamboo. Niu Jin looked at the bamboo in front of him and couldn't help shaking his head.
There stood a transparent, blue crystal-like icy bamboo standing quietly beside the cold pond, with scattered icy leaves hanging on it.
It was the ice bamboo that Lin Hanye was looking for.
Normally, every meter of ice bamboo's growth represents one hundred years of cultivation.
The bamboo in front of us is five meters tall, which means it is at least five hundred years old.
But what few people know is that after the Ice Bamboo reaches 500 years old and before it becomes a thousand-year soul beast, it will stop growing and its specific age can only be distinguished by its leaves, with one leaf representing one year.
Lin Hanye made a rough estimate and found that there were no less than seven or eight hundred leaves on it.
In other words,This Ice bamboo cultivation has been close to eight hundred years.
But Lin Hanye had no intention of explaining to Niu Jin.
He said, "No need, Director Niu, this one is fine. Remember what I told you, the soul ring absorption period is related to the soul master's physical strength. I have never given up physical training in these years, so I think my body should be able to withstand this five-hundred-year-old ice bamboo."
Niu Jin nodded, "Indeed, your physique is ridiculously strong. If I hadn't obtained the third soul ring and didn't use soul skills, I would definitely not be your opponent. But this ice bamboo is not easy to deal with. Have you thought about how to hunt it?"
At this point, he looked at the leaves on the ice bamboo with a serious expression, frowned and said,
"There are too many of them, I am not sure I can stop them. If something goes wrong, you might lose your life."
"Don't worry, I'm well prepared." Lin Hanye took off the sack hanging behind him.
Inside are some domesticated little rabbits.
This was a living creature he purchased specifically for hunting ice bamboo.
"Go ahead."
As one of the rabbits was thrown by Lin Hanye to a position seven or eight meters away from ice bamboo .
The originally quiet ice bamboo shook violently.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The next moment, dozens or even hundreds of ice leaves shot out.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the little rabbit was beaten into a sieve and turned into a pile of minced meat.
Lin Hanye used the same old trick again.
Throw out the second rabbit. As the rabbits are thrown out one by one, the ice leaves on them are constantly consumed.
After a while, the ice leaves on top were almost gone.
Lin Hanye pulled out the knife that he had prepared in advance from his waist. He attached his soul power to his feet and leaped out in one step. While dodging the last few ice leaves, he raised his hand and swung the knife. With a click, the ice bamboo was cut in half.
"we can hunt soul beast like this?"
Niu Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes as he watched Lin Hanye so easily deal with the ice bamboo that even he had difficulty dealing with, as if a new world had opened up.
"Although the leaves of the Ice Bamboo are very sharp, the trunk itself is very fragile. Every time its leaves are used, it takes half an hour to condense again. As long as you use up its leaves, the rest of the journey will be smooth sailing."
Faint yellow spots of light gathered above the half-remaining ice bamboo and turned into a yellow halo. Lin Hanye sat down cross-legged next to the yellow halo.
"I guess only a theoretical master like you can come up with such a method. Others don't know Ice bamboo weakness."
Niu Jin sighed, then looked at Lin Hanye with a hint of worry, and reminded him, "But then again, do you really want to absorb this 500-year-old ice bamboo? You know, from ancient times to now, no one has obtain first soul ring of 500 years, and the most is just over 400 years."
"I believe in my own judgment. Director Niu, I'll leave the matter of protecting me to you."
Lin Hanye would not tell the secret of whale glue. Even if he did, the other party could not afford it. As he said this, he closed his eyes, and with the pull of soul power, the soul ring was gradually absorbed into his body.
Since his own martial spirit, Ice Water, possessed a trace of ice properties, and he had refined a piece of inferior thousand-year-old whale glue, it was relatively easy for him to absorb this nearly eight hundred year old ice bamboo.
There was no discomfort. At most, he felt that the soul power in his body was approaching saturation the moment he absorbed the soul ring.
In other words, this eight hundred-year-old ice bamboo has reached the limit of his body's endurance.
Of course, this is limited to ice-attribute soul beasts.
If he did as Yu Xiaogang instructed, and let his plant-type martial soul absorb animal-type spirit rings, and let his ice-attribute martial soul absorb spirit rings that had nothing to do with the ice attribute, or even had attributes that were opposite to it, then in the absence of a technique similar to the Xuantian Gong, he would basically be ruined by the rejection reaction between the spirit rings and the martial soul.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for getting a simulation opportunity! ]
[The current simulation number is one, do you want to simulate? ]
And at the moment of absorbing the soul ring, the long-lost system prompt sounded in Lin Hanye's mind.
Five years!
Do you know how I spent these five years?
Lin Hanye couldn't help but shout in his heart!
"Don't start!"
After being excited for a while, Lin Hanye calmed down and said something silently in his heart.
Now he is in the Soul Beast Forest, which is not suitable for studying his golden finger.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw Niu Jin approaching with excitement and expectation, smiling and praising: "Xiao Lin, you are setting a precedent in the world of soul masters. Show me if there are any changes in your martial soul."
"Um."
Lin Hanye smiled and raised his right hand. A faint white light appeared on the surface of his skin. Transparent ice water gushed out from his palm. A clear yellow halo rose from under his feet and circled around his body. This was the distinctive feature of a first-ring soul master.
The ice water before was very thin, only the size of a baby's fist. But now the ice water has become the size of an adult's fist, and the thin ice is several times thicker than before, with a tendency to transform into real ice, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight.
Niu Jin had seen Lin Hanye's Ice Water Spirit before. Seeing the changes in his spirit, he couldn't wait to ask, "What spirit skill did you get?"
"First Soul Skill: Frost Sword Finger!"
Lin Hanye did not keep the question in suspense but answered with his actions.
He turned around, opened his palms, bent his fingers slightly into claws, and as he pushed his palms, the first soul ring on his body lit up, and hundreds of sharp frost sword auras shot out.
Like a bullet, it splashed water in the cold pond.
What is strange is that the water did not return to calm after splashing, but froze at the moment of splashing, turning into pieces of ice flowers that connected together, like a perfect ice sculpture artwork.
"This..." Niu Jin was stunned.
Is this also considered the first soul skill?
Somehow it looks even stronger than his second soul skill.
And it's instant.
Logically speaking, even if Lin Hanye's first soul ring is five hundred years old, this shouldn't be the case.
Putting away his martial spirit, Lin Hanye explained with a smile:
"This is my first spirit skill - Frost Sword Finger! It allows me to emit sharp frost sword energy with my fingers and pierce the enemy's vital points. There is no need to charge up. And the power and shooting speed will continue to increase as my spirit power increases."
