Chapter 12: Rewards, Breakthroughs, spiritual power.

Perception Derivation, Zhou Tian only felt a blur before finding himself in the midst of a forest.

This forest, with a diameter of 600 meters, represented the cultivation of the Black Striped Tiger, a soul beast with over 600 years of experience.

Before obtaining the second soul ring, Zhou Tian, utilizing his strong physique and legs akin to diamond springs, directly kicked the first-stage Black Striped Tiger to death.

However, after reaching equal strength in the second stage, they hadn't fought again.

Even with his body's characteristics becoming stronger with development, it remained a stalemate.

But now, things were different.

Zhou Tian touched the third ring on his left hand, a translucent jade-green ring.

First soul skill, the Wind Ring!

Fierce winds enveloped Zhou Tian!

"Roar!"

A deafening roar echoed as a dark shadow lunged toward him.

Zhou Tian skillfully took a step back, his iron leg turning into a blur.

"Bang!"

The Black Striped Tiger was sent flying, landing on all fours.

Roaring lowly, its snow-white fangs exposed, glaring at Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian looked at the tiger, which he had kicked, causing a few scratches.

On his retracted right leg, his pants had three large gashes, oozing blood.

Squinting, Zhou Tian approached step by step, a fierce wind surrounding his hands.

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes!

Both sides almost simultaneously launched themselves, rushing at each other.

But this time, Zhou Tian had a second soul skill, Life Ring.

A soul beast of over 700 years, forming the second soul ring with the Bloodsucking Demon Vine.

A wood-attributed life ring.

Its ability was to summon seven Bloodsucking Demon Vines within a seven-meter radius centered on Zhou Tian.

In comparison to a plant-type martial soul, it had no advantage in distance, but excelled in other aspects.

With high toughness and special abilities, the seven vines shot out as Zhou Tian approached the Black Striped Tiger.

"Roar!"

The Black Striped Tiger roared, struggling fiercely, but the vines only tightened holding it firmly.

"Bang!"

A dark shadow smashed onto the tiger's head.

It was Zhou Tian's iron leg.

The Black Striped Tiger's head broke, and the Bloodsucking Demon Vines wriggled.

Zhou Tian activated the second ability of the Bloodsucking Demon Vines.

True to its name, it wasn't just blood it absorbed; both soul power and blood were taken in.

"Roar!"

The tiger struggled wildly, its roar filled with fear.

Unfortunately, the tiger's strength hadn't exceeded a certain limit, making it impossible to break free from the vines in a short time.

Ultimately, it couldn't escape the fate of being absorbed and dying.

Zhou Tian stood nearby, feeling the somewhat evil second soul skill.

The absorbed soul power and blood, after being filtered, transformed into a small portion of pure vitality and soul power essence, entering Zhou Tian's body.

"Barely perceptible, but this pure vitality has a good recovery effect."

Zhou Tian shook his head; the change in soul power was almost negligible.

However, the vitality did bring a noticeable sense of recovery to his body after exercise.

Clearly, it could restore physical strength.

"Bang!"

The bound Black Striped Tiger suddenly burst open, turning into specks of light.

Half was absorbed by Zhou Tian, refined into soul power.

The other half returned to this illusory realm.

Zhou Tian squinted slightly accepting the new information, although this information had been received in two other real illusory environments.

A faint light lit up from Zhou Tian's body.

The original human figure gradually changed, and finally turned into a black-striped tiger.

this black-striped tiger taking two steps forward. an awkward feeling could be seen.

"I feel that the posture of the tiger is a little more relaxed than that of the snake. At least it doesn't feel like it is being restrained."

The black-striped tiger suddenly spoke human words, and it was Zhou Tian's voice.

This is the third and final test of the real illusion.

Understanding the life forms of the real illusion, this level has different levels of difficulty.

If he were an ordinary person, Zhou Tian wouldn't need to comprehend it at all and would pass directly.

If you hunt down a million-year-old soul beast like the Deep-Sea Demonic Whale King in the future, the difficulty of understanding it will definitely skyrocket.

But there are benefits to understanding it.

The first is the enhancement of soul toughness, which is the third reward derived from the true illusion.

The second is the perception of life, which plays a great role in some cases.

The third is this real illusion.

Zhou Tian, with his wind perception, covered this 600-meter illusionary realm. It was faint but extraordinary.

If he could control or study its structure, or even use it as raw material for modification...

"This illusory space is exceptionally real in soul perception. If I can dissect its structure and use it as the basis for corresponding modifications with my innate domain... I wonder if this method will work."

Zhou Tian squinted, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a feeling struck.

The lying tiger disappeared from the real illusionary realm.

In the inn room, Zhou Tian quickly sat up, calmly beginning his cultivation.

Following that sudden feeling, he meditated, with soul power running actively within him.

When the faint light appeared on the horizon, Zhou Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

"Compared to my previous feeling, the breakthrough sensation came at least ten days earlier. It seems I should quickly head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts." Zhou Tian said with a smile.

With these resource's assistance, Zhou Tian's strength and cultivation could rapidly improve, bringing him great joy.

Extending his left hand, he looked at the second soul skill's ring, the Life Ring.

"There's still one fantasy Godhead left. Keeping it won't be of any use, but using it can directly enhance my current strength." Zhou Tian thought.

Soon to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, enhancing his strength at this time adds an extra layer of security.

Even with Zhou Tian's current cultivation at level 24, his entire soul power couldn't condense a spirit essence, not even the prototype.

But Zhou Tian wouldn't hoard it like a miser; he decided to use it.

Zhou Tian let out a breath, rubbing the emerald-green magic ring on his hand, and closed his eyes slowly.

The last rhombus-shaped crystal with a mysterious power in his mind gradually merged into the second soul ring.

In an instant, a transformative force brought Zhou Tian a different feeling.

The soul ring on his body suddenly erupted unconsciously, and the light of soul power surrounded him.

The second soul ring emitted bright light, and the Life Ring was also wrapped in light.

When the light faded, the second soul ring was still yellow, but it felt brighter.

The jade-like appearance of the Life Magic Ring became more translucent, revealing a plant-like texture. It looked like seven vines intertwined to form a ring.
