Almost instantly, he confirmed that this was the Soul Stone that Wuka had mentioned.
“The Soul Stone!”
When Ai Tuo’er saw the gray crystal in Chu Zhou’s hand, a burning look flashed across his light blue eyes.
In the next moment, a gray light flew over from his direction.
He quickly reached out and grabbed it.
However, after he grabbed it, his expression changed slightly. He felt a surging power crashing toward him. His body immediately became unstable, and he took three steps back before activating his origin power to offset the terrifying power.
When he opened his palm, it was already badly mangled.
In the center of his palm, there was also a gray crystal, or rather, a soul stone.
After obtaining the Soul Stone, Ai Tuo’er did not look too happy.
This was because his performance just now was a little inferior to when Chu Zhou obtained the soul stone.
Without a doubt, this meant that his body was far inferior to Chu Zhou’s.
“Just because one’s physical body is strong doesn’t mean that one’s strength is also strong!”
Ai Tuo’er said indifferently, leaving behind an inexplicable sentence before turning into a faint blue light and disappearing in front of Chu Zhou.
“That’s ridiculous!”
Chu Zhou looked at Ai Tuo’er’s disappearing figure and muttered before looking at the soul stone in his hand.
“Wuka said that this soul stone can increase the soul origin. Let’s give it a try!”
As Chu Zhou spoke, he began to refine the soul stone in his hand.
A moment later, the soul stone in his hand turned into ashes. A stream of cold and pure soul power surged into his soul.
Chu Zhou immediately felt his soul origin strengthening bit by bit.
“It’s actually true… My soul origin has increased by about 10,000%!”
Chu Zhou felt the change in his soul and was overjoyed.
To flesh and blood lifeforms, the importance of the soul was needless to say.
However, it was very difficult to increase the soul origin.
Even if Chu Zhou had the Attribute Board, there was no good way to increase his soul origin.
The “Soul Armor” and “White Lotus Secret Technique” that he had mastered were actually methods to use soul power, not methods to strengthen the soul origin.
In fact, it was not only him. Even many martial artists who were focused on comprehending the Soul Law found it difficult to strengthen their Soul Origin.
On the other hand, there were many secret techniques and ultimate techniques that could increase one’s mental strength in the universe.
However, Spirit and soul were not the same thing.
Simply put, the soul was a bucket, and the Spirit was what was in the bucket.
In addition to Spirit, there were also consciousness, emotions, thoughts, and so on.
It was easy to increase his Spirit, but it was very difficult to increase his Soul Origin.
At the same time, if the soul bucket was not big enough, it would also limit the amount of spirit it could carry.
Therefore, a soul stone that could increase one’s soul origin was definitely an incomparably precious treasure in the universe.
Especially those martial artists who focused on cultivating the Soul Law. If they knew that there was a chance to obtain the Soul Stone, they would definitely risk their lives for it.
“I have to get more Soul Stones!” Chu Zhou muttered to himself, his eyes shining.
Next, he stuck close to the surface of the black mountain and flew at full speed to search for the soul stone.
Not long after, he obtained another soul stone.
This time, he did not refine it directly. Instead, he let his Attribute Board transform and obtained 10 billion attribute points.
“Soul stones can indeed be converted into attribute points… However, after a soul stone is converted into attribute points, it’s only 10 billion. It’s too wasteful. It’s far inferior to using it to increase the soul origin.”
Chu Zhou muttered to himself and gave up on the idea of converting the Soul Stones into attribute points. He decided to use the remaining 10,000 Soul Stones he obtained later on to strengthen his soul origin, except for the 10,000 Soul Stones that he reserved for completing the assessment quest.
He dared to have such a plan… Naturally, it was because it was much easier for him to obtain soul stones than others.
In the environment of the Black Mountain, it was more than a hundred times easier for him, who was proficient in the spatial and gravitational laws, to find and obtain soul stones than the other six.
In fact, the mysterious power that permeated the gray fog and the entire black mountain affected him far less than it affected others.
His Soul Armor had been stacked three times, so the mysterious power had little effect on him.
However, the others had no choice but to circulate their Spiritual Power at all times to resist the invasion of that mysterious power to prevent their souls from being affected.
This made Chu Zhou undoubtedly have an advantage over the others.
Chu Zhou flew quickly along the surface of the black mountain. Silver-white spatial ripples kept spreading out from his body.
At the same time, a terrifying gravitational force emanated from his body.
The spatial power and gravity that emanated from his body seemed to weave a huge “web” dozens of kilometers around him.
Whenever a soul stone flew past him and landed in the net, it would immediately slow down and fly towards Chu Zhou, who easily collected it.
Just like that, Chu Zhou easily and quickly collected the soul stones in the black mountain.
In just half a day, he had collected more than 8,000 soul stones.
Compared to Chu Zhou, Ai Tuo’er, and Saffy, they had only collected more than 600 soul stones after searching for half a day.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second day.
At this moment, Chu Zhou had already collected 10,000 soul stones.
If he left the Black Mountain Mystic Realm now, he could already pass the assessment and obtain the King of Adventurers medal.
However, since he was in a treasure land, Chu Zhou naturally could not leave just like that..
