Time flew by, and no matter how much Li Xun tried to delay it, he couldn't stop his injuries from healing automatically.
His internal organs began to repair themselves, the muscles in his arms and left leg started to rebuild, and even some new flesh began to sprout.
This scene left Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo in awe.
"This kid is truly a little monster!" Dugu Bo exclaimed.
Having lived for so many years, he had never seen a Soul Master on the continent with such self-healing abilities. This could almost be called limb regeneration.
"Indeed!" Sword Douluo recalled the first time he took Li Xun to hunt Soul Beasts.
He never imagined that the Wood Carving Martial Soul could develop to this extent. And this was only the boy's first Martial Soul.
"In another decade or so, even you and I might be surpassed by him!"
The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone continued to emit a soft glow, and the self-healing power of Wood Release was also at work. In no time, Li Xun's arms and left leg were covered with new skin.
The itching sensation from the healing wounds kept Li Xun from thinking too much, so he quickly shifted his attention to the Head Soul Bone that the Blue Silver King had bestowed upon him.
His spirit delved inward. Li Xun could clearly sense the presence of the Head Soul Bone. An intangible stream of information flowed from the bone, and he instantly understood.
The Blue Silver King's Head Soul Bone had granted him one amplification and one skill.
Mental Power Amplification.
It could double his own mental power, a value that wouldn't change but would fluctuate as Li Xun's own mental power grew.
The other skill was Perception Feedback.
The Blue Silver King ruled over the Blue Silver Grass, so it received perception feedback from the grass. Li Xun, on the other hand, received feedback from the surrounding trees.
This skill allowed him to extend his mental power outward to gain perception from nearby plants, which would then feed back a rough image into his mind.
As he extended his mental power, Li Xun could sense the world's perception and contours from the trees within a radius of six to seven hundred meters.
"It seems I still need to develop this further," Li Xun thought, not entirely satisfied with the skill.
While it could be somewhat useful in the forest, it was practically useless in the city.
Li Xun tried to retract and condense his mental power, forming it into a straight line.
As his mental power became more concentrated, his surroundings blurred, but the direction of his focus became clearer.
He could distinctly perceive movements up to two kilometers away—the Soul Beasts lingering under the trees, the sparrows on the branches, even the ants crawling on the trunks.
This sensation was fascinating. Although his mental power didn't provide him with visual images, he could still vividly reconstruct the scenes in his mind.
Feeling playful, Li Xun began experimenting with various possibilities, from the highest leaves on the treetops to the roots extending deep underground.
Ten meters—that was the conclusion Li Xun reached after repeated tests. Whether it was the sky above or the ground below, his Perception Feedback couldn't extend beyond ten meters from the plants his mental power was attached to.
Moreover, Li Xun could sense that if he extended his own vines, both the range and depth of his perception would increase significantly.
"If I combine this with the characteristics of my Azure Vine..." Li Xun's eyes lit up. Although this Soul Bone hadn't drastically increased his strength, it had provided him with two new avenues of thought.
"His injuries have healed completely, so why hasn't he woken up yet?" Dugu Bo crouched in front of Li Xun with a playful expression.
"Perhaps there are still some injuries that haven't fully healed," Sword Douluo glanced at Li Xun with a smile and said, "It's alright, we have plenty of time, don't we?"
Li Xun's eyelashes fluttered, and he held on for about half a cup of tea's worth of time before he finally couldn't keep up the act any longer and slowly opened his eyes: "Phew, I've finally finished absorbing it."
Looking at the mischievous grin on Dugu Bo's face, Li Xun exclaimed in surprise, "Huh! Grandpa Dugu, what are you doing squatting here?"
"Hehe, I was just worried about you," Dugu Bo slowly stood up and stretched his body, "So, how much of a boost did an 85,000-year Soul Beast give you?"
At this point, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.
Setting aside the 100,000-year Spirit Ring, Soul Beasts between 80,000 and 90,000 years are already a configuration that many Titled Douluos don't even have for their final ring.
Who would have thought that this brat in front of him would touch this line with his fifth Spirit Ring.
"Actually, it wasn't much of a boost. My Soul Power has just barely reached level 54. I underestimated the vast energy of the Blue Silver King. Even with the gentlest Sacrifice, I had to make some sacrifices."
Li Xun looked helpless: "The energy I absorbed is roughly equivalent to that of a 70,000-year Soul Beast. The remaining energy was expelled through my exploded arm and leg."
Although he had anticipated the risks, when they actually came, he was still somewhat caught off guard.
Li Xun only chose to explode his limbs to save his life when he sensed the danger, otherwise, he would have faced the result of his entire body swelling and shattering.
"Hehe, barely level 54, roughly equivalent to 70,000 years," Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "What Soul Skill did you get?"
"My fifth Soul Skill is called Azure Blue Spear," Li Xun extended his right hand, summoned his Martial Soul, and one yellow, two purple, and two black Spirit Rings appeared at his feet in succession.
As he infused and fused his Soul Power, the fifth Spirit Ring lit up.
The ground in front of them instantly sparkled with blue light, and as Li Xun directed it, the blue light suddenly extended from the ground. It transformed into numerous Azure Spears that abruptly appeared before the three of them, forming a spear array.
"Is this it?" Dugu Bo looked at the forest of blue spears in front of him and voiced his doubt.
Sword Douluo also felt greatly disappointed: "Xiao Xun, doesn't this skill overlap a bit with your abilities?"
Looking at the scene before him, he recalled the wooden spears Li Xun had once shaped from plants.
"It does overlap a bit," Li Xun nodded, "But the spears shaped by this Soul Skill are different from those I evolved from plants."
Li Xun picked up an Azure Spear and tapped it against another spear.
Ding—
The two spears collided, producing a crisp sound, just like the clashing of metal.
"Its first characteristic is that it's harder than metal," Li Xun's fourth Spirit Ring lit up, and the Azure Spear was instantly covered in lightning, "Its second characteristic is that it can effectively attach attributes."
Li Xun spun the Azure Spear several times with one hand, infused it with lightning-imbued Soul Power, and aimed at a direction before throwing it with force. The spear instantly shot out from Li Xun's hand.
The spear was now covered in lightning, and as it flew at high speed, it looked like a bolt of lightning streaking through the forest.
Boom—
Not long after, a loud noise came, disturbing the peace of the forest.
"Barely passable," Dugu Bo shook his head.
If judged by the age of the Spirit Ring, this Soul Skill indeed doesn't have any remarkable aspects. It might be acceptable for the third or fourth Spirit Ring, but for the fifth Spirit Ring, it's somewhat of a loss.
"If evaluated based on its ability, this Soul Skill really isn't that impressive," Li Xun nodded in agreement. This skill indeed didn't offer him any significant enhancement.
He hadn't expected the Soul Skill of the Blue Silver King to be so underwhelming.
However, he doesn't rely on Soul Skills himself; what he needs is merely the Amplification that the Spirit Rings provide to his own abilities, after all, Wood Release is his fundamental strength.
Li Xun picked up another Azure Spear and handed it to the Sword Douluo: "It has a third characteristic. That is, if I don't actively recall it, theoretically, it will never disappear."
