Talent Domain
Huo Wu, of course, had a plan for this situation.
After withstanding the initial Soul Power impact of the Soul Ring, Huo Wu gradually relaxed her Soul Power circulation.
Losing control, the massive energy began to rampage inside her meridians.
"Ugh."
Huo Wu's entire body turned an unusual red, and even the stoic Huo Wu couldn't help but groan.
One must know that meridians are the most fragile parts of the human body. Allowing such massive energy to run rampant within them could easily cause irreversible damage with the slightest carelessness.
However, with the physical enhancement brought about by the Second Awakening of her Martial Soul, Huo Wu's body strength far exceeded her usual state.
In addition, Huo Wu used all of her Soul Power to protect her own meridians.
As a result, the massive energy was compressed into harder lumps by the resilient meridians.
Moreover, the Undead Flame Lord inherited the original owner's Fire-attribute talent, and the energy of this Soul Ring was extremely scorching.
If Huo Wu's Fire-attribute talent wasn't strong, her meridians would likely have been burned through before being burst open.
After all, Huo Wu didn't have Quan Yi's Fire Immunity, so absorbing a Fire-attribute Soul Ring would add a bit of danger.
Fortunately, Huo Wu could still persevere for now.
A quarter of an hour passed.
The continuous energy of the Soul Ring filled all of her meridians.
Although the energy would be absorbed by the meridians themselves when passing through the Du Meridian,
the lack of control from the main body greatly reduced the absorption efficiency, making it impossible to compete with the input of the Soul Ring.
Once the energy occupied all of the meridians in her body, Huo Wu's body would be like a balloon, at risk of bursting.
However, the current situation was of Huo Wu's own making.
Huo Wu gritted her teeth, desperately enduring the impact of this energy.
The condensed Soul Power was like stuffing hard lumps into soft meridians, causing extreme pain.
During this process, Huo Wu's skin had long turned blood red, and even tiny blood mists emerged from the pores on the surface of her skin.
Quan Yi quickly observed Huo Wu's meridian condition through his Scarlet Dragon Eye.
In Quan Yi's vision, Huo Wu's entire body's meridians were filled with massive energy.
A feeling of pity flashed through Quan Yi's heart, but he didn't stop her.
Huo Wu was planning to use the massive energy of the Forty Thousand Year Soul Ring to find the Hidden Meridians hidden inside her body.
Just like Quan Yi had opened up his Du Meridian under extreme pressure.
Quan Yi had mentioned to Huo Wu that the human body had other Hidden Meridians, but he didn't expect Huo Wu to have never forgotten it.
Huo Wu's ambition, talent, and ability were no less than Quan Yi's.
As a genius, it was normal for Huo Wu to have her own ideas.
Moreover, judging from Huo Wu's actions, she had obviously been preparing for a long time.
All Quan Yi could do now was to trust Huo Wu and closely monitor her condition, reminding her before she reached her limit.
An hour passed.
Huo Wu's meridians had been expanded by a factor of two, and her clothes had long been stained red with blood and sweat.
At this moment, Huo Wu had lost her previous beauty. Now, her entire body was soaked in a thin layer of blood, coupled with her appearance twisted by pain, she looked extremely hideous.
However, Quan Yi had no time to pay attention to these things, he was nervously watching Huo Wu's meridians.
Now, Huo Wu's meridians were about to reach their limit. If she continued, Huo Wu would completely lose control of the energy.
At that time, even if Huo Wu began to actively absorb energy, she would be burst open by the Soul Ring output that had reached its peak.
Quan Yi was about to speak out to remind her.
However, he was forced to hold back.
Now is the most crucial moment, and Huo Wu is likely very aware of this.
At this time, Quan Yi suddenly disturbing Huo Wu could very likely cause unforeseen consequences.
The tension in Quan Yi's heart was stronger than ever, but he still gritted his teeth and thought, "Hang in there, whether it succeeds or not depends on this moment."
At this moment, Huo Wu was using her extremely strong will to endure the instinct of her body wanting to operate on its own, and constantly searching for Hidden Meridians in her body's meridians.
The meridians were about to give out.
Where exactly are these Hidden Meridians? Huo Wu's physical condition continued to decline, and the amplification effects that had been stacked before began to slowly disappear.
However, the Hidden Meridians remained silent.
Could it be that I have to give up here? No! Huo Wu's pride was ignited.
Her powerful mental power compressed the energy of the meridians for the last time, creating a considerable amount of space in the meridians.
Soul Ring energy instantly crowded into the remaining space, and the meridians had already reached their limit.
The Soul Power covering Huo Wu's meridians was constantly being burned by the scorching aura.
However, just as the energy was about to burn through the meridians.
This scorching energy seemed to burn through something else.
Crack!
A strange sound rang in Huo Wu's mind.
This sound was a sound that only Huo Wu could hear.
When she heard this cracking sound, she was overjoyed.
"I succeeded!"
She knew that this was the sound of the meridians being connected.
In the next moment, Huo Wu only felt the swollen Soul Ring energy being sucked into her abdomen.
Immediately afterwards, the energy charged wildly towards the hidden passage, all the way up along Huo Wu's Abdominal Meridians, passing through the throat, then upwards around the lips, passing through the face, and entering below the eye socket.
A Hidden Meridian with a length no less than the Du Meridian was connected by Huo Wu.
At this moment, Huo Wu only felt a burst of relaxation in her whole body's meridians. Even if Huo Wu did not operate the Soul Power cultivation method, the expanded Hidden Meridians not only provided a wider space.
Its own energy absorption effect was strong enough.
Outside, Quan Yi also witnessed the scene of the meridians being connected.
"Success!"
Quan Yi finally felt relieved.
As the meridians were connected, Huo Wu's spirit was lifted. She took advantage of this opportunity to regain control of her body and fully operate her Soul Power, beginning to absorb the energy of the Soul Ring with all her might.
With the powerful effects of the two Hidden Meridians, the subsequent absorption of the Soul Ring was no longer in suspense.
Huo Wu's physical condition completely returned to normal.
Four hours later, Huo Wu completed the absorption of the Fifth Soul Ring.
When the Soul Ring completely disappeared into the Fire Shadow Martial Soul, the illusory Fire Shadow lit up with a bright orange-yellow light.
The light dispelled the dimness of the underground and shone on Quan Yi's body.
The blurred Fire Shadow seemed to become more solid at this moment.
Just as Quan Yi wanted to step forward to check on Huo Wu's condition, Quan Yi discovered that his body suddenly couldn't move.
"What's going on!"
Quan Yi's body was as if he had been subjected to a Body Immobilization Technique.
This feeling was different from the resistance brought by weight-bearing, it was some kind of more peculiar ability.
Quan Yi's whole body tensed up, trying to resist this power. Under the urging of Quan Yi's terrifying strength, his body could barely move.
Encountering such a strange situation, Quan Yi immediately activated the Eye of True Sight.
Intense golden firelight brewed in Quan Yi's eyes. The next moment, Quan Yi saw a strange fluctuation emanating from Huo Wu before him.
This fluctuation was neither a Soul Bone Skill nor a Soul Skill.
However, it just so happened that Quan Yi was not unfamiliar with it.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, retract your Talent Domain."
