Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 316 The Third Soul Ring, the Vast Gold of Living Beings
Zhou Sichen became excited upon hearing the news.

As long as Xue Di didn't capture the wrong soul beast, then Zhou Sichen would have a huge piece of living gold.

The piece of living gold inside the golden hawksbill turtle occupies a full one-fifth of the bottom of the Lake of Life.

With such a large piece of living gold, Zhou Sichen was able to do even more.

After his original martial soul under the gold level underwent its second awakening, Zhou Sichen used it very rarely.

Now, with the help of this piece of living gold, Zhou Sichen can deduce the flawless golden body comparable to a god's body during the third period of Dou Dizhu.

Although the Body Sect's Body Secrets record various Body Secret Techniques, the highest level of physical development it can achieve is only the Gold-level Second Awakening.

However, the second awakening at the Gold level is still some distance away from achieving a flawless golden body.

If one can achieve the level of a flawless golden body, not only will there be a leap in strength, but the physical power comparable to that of a god will also bring inexhaustible power.

Once Zhou Sichen has enough Living Gold, he can endlessly attempt to create a flawless golden body without worrying about the burden brought by using the Gold-level Second Awakening.

In this way, Zhou Sichen will have the opportunity to forge an impenetrable golden body ahead of schedule, and also elevate his own strength to its limit.

Even without using the power of the contracted soul beast, Zhou Sichen can become a powerful soul master based on his own martial soul.

According to the Secret of the Body, after cultivating the Flawless Golden Body, not only can the Soul Master use the second awakening of the Body Martial Soul without restraint, but also can stack their own defense to the extreme.

In this way, a Soul Master with an impenetrable golden body becomes a true war machine.

During the Douluo Continent III era, the flawless golden body was comparable to a quasi-god body and even rivaled a four-word battle armor, rendering battle armors that greatly enhanced soul masters useless.

This demonstrates the domineering nature of someone who has cultivated a flawless golden body.

However, while the effect of the flawless golden body is powerful, achieving that level is extremely difficult.

Zhou Sichen had never even considered this question before finding the golden tortoiseshell.

Now that Xue Di has discovered the golden hawksbill turtle, this will be a great thing for Zhou Sichen.

Moreover, Zhou Sichen can not only use the living gold within the golden tortoise shell to try to cultivate the flawless golden body, but also use it as the third soul ring of his main martial soul.

The golden tortoiseshell, with its 100,000 years of cultivation, provides an absolutely enormous boost to the user's martial soul.

The boost brought by the 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone is enough to raise Zhou Sichen's strength to another level.

Zhou Sichen's current soul power is level 62. If he absorbs the soul ring and soul bone of the golden tortoise shell, his soul power level can be increased by at least three to five levels.

This greatly reduced the time it took him to advance to the seventh ring.

Moreover, Zhou Sichen now has his first soul core, which allows him to absorb more soul rings for his main martial soul, thereby rapidly increasing his soul power.

With the power of the soul core, as long as the number of soul rings absorbed does not exceed Zhou Sichen's physical limit, his soul power will continue to increase.

Furthermore, there's no need to worry about too many spirit rings causing Zhou Sichen's body to break down due to the pressure.

Moreover, the benefits that Zhou Sichen gained from adding spirit rings to his main spirit were actually proportional.

With each additional spirit ring added to his main spirit, his physical endurance will increase.

In this way, it becomes a process of continuous accumulation of progress.

The day after receiving the news, Zhou Sichen immediately asked Xuan Ziwen for leave.

Xuan Ziwen did not ask Zhou Sichen what he was going to do, but he did not approve the leave.

Instead, they directly handed Zhou Sichen a deep-sea reconnaissance-type soul guide device.

Zhou Sichen understood the mission and took it on the next day, heading straight to the sea to complete the task of testing the deep-sea soul tool.

With the task given by Xuan Ziwen, Zhou Sichen's departure went unnoticed by Jing Hongchen.

After all, in Jing Hongchen's eyes, Xuan Ziwen was still a researcher at Mingdetang.

Moreover, he never imagined that Zhou Sichen would have already managed to abduct Xuan Ziwen, the genius soul master of Mingde Hall, in such a short time.

When Zhou Sichen set off for the deep sea, he contacted the Snow Emperor directly through the Book of Contracts, asking her to bring the golden hawksbill turtle to the sea area.

After entering the sea, Zhou Sichen went directly to the territory of the mermaid clan in the Ice Sea.

Xue Di was faster than Zhou Sichen and arrived at the mermaid palace of the Sea Princess ahead of time to visit and wait for Zhou Sichen's arrival.

When the Sea Princess learned that Zhou Sichen was going to add a third soul ring to his original martial soul, she couldn't help but look forward to it.

The Book of Contracts martial soul alone has already made Zhou Sichen's strength far beyond the norm.

Now, they are adding soul rings to their main martial soul, and the lowest level is 100,000 years.

Although the Sea Princess is a soul beast, she is well aware of the amplification and enhancement that a 100,000-year soul ring can provide to a soul master.

Zhou Sichen is already quite strong; the only thing he lacks is cultivation level.

The biggest advantage of having twin martial souls is that you can attach soul rings to both martial souls, and use the enormous soul power of multiple soul rings to quickly improve your cultivation.

A day later, Zhou Sichen also arrived at the Mermaid Palace.

After catching up with Princess Tonghai, Lijing, and Liya, Zhou Sichen immediately asked for a secret room to prepare to fuse the Golden Tortoiseshell Soul Ring.

Inside the secret chamber, blue flame patterns appeared on Zhou Sichen's body, and the power of extreme ice surged forth, directly removing the ice from the golden tortoiseshell.

Now free from the freezing effect and able to move again, the golden hawksbill turtle looked at Zhou Sichen with a serious expression.

Although it was frozen, Snow Empress did not shut down its senses; instead, it talked quite a bit with the golden tortoise along the way.

The Snow Emperor told the Golden Tortoise that Zhou Sichen could save its life and give it a chance to enter the realm of gods.

The Golden Tortoiseshell was no stranger to Zhou Sichen, the founder of the Soul Spirit Technique, who was the most honored guest in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even the Beast God Di Tian was very friendly to this human, so the Golden Tortoiseshell was not afraid that Zhou Sichen would do anything bad to it.

The golden tortoiseshell could guess that the opportunity to enter the realm of gods mentioned by the Snow Emperor most likely meant becoming Zhou Sichen's soul.

For the golden hawksbill turtle, which was well aware of Zhou Sichen's talent, becoming Zhou Sichen's soul was not something it opposed.

Given its current state, it will likely be completely devoured by that thing inside its body within a few years, ultimately dying without a complete corpse.

Since that's the case, and now that Xue Di has brought it to Zhou Sichen, why not give it a shot?

So before Zhou Sichen could say anything, the golden tortoiseshell said in a deep voice, "I know you. If you want me to become your spirit, I'm willing."

Zhou Sichen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Oh? Xue Di told you?"

The golden tortoiseshell nodded: "Lady Snow Empress said that you have taken a liking to my talent and abilities."

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen smiled.

The golden hawksbill turtle's innate ability is well-known: it possesses a kind of auspicious fortune similar to that of a mythical beast.

However, the golden hawksbill turtle's fortune is far less than that of the auspicious beast, which can bless an entire clan and the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, if one can obtain the soul ring of the golden tortoiseshell, one can also inherit some of its auspiciousness.

Zhou Sichen did not tell Xue Di about the gold of life, so Xue Di guessed that Zhou Sichen was after the auspicious aura of the golden tortoise shell.

This mysterious and elusive concept of fortune is difficult to grasp; it is said that sincerity brings results. Therefore, before arriving at the Mermaid Palace, the Snow Empress had been talking to the Golden Tortoise about it the entire way.

In short, since the golden hawksbill turtle itself is already nearing the end of its life, it might as well cooperate with Zhou Sichen.

The golden tortoiseshell enhanced Zhou Sichen's luck and brought him good fortune, making his future breakthrough to the realm of gods even smoother.

At that time, the golden tortoise shell, as Zhou Sichen's soul, can also take this opportunity to enter the realm of gods and achieve immortality.

After thinking it over, Golden Tortoise Shell also felt that this was an opportunity.

After all, even if it doesn't become a spirit, it doesn't have many years left to live.

Since that's the case, why not choose the most talented Soul Master and give it a shot?

In fact, the golden hawksbill turtle felt somewhat grateful to the Snow Empress for choosing the human soul master with the highest talent and the best chance of becoming a god.

Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't waste any more words."

Zhou Sichen extended a finger and touched the golden tortoise's head. As his spiritual power surged, all the information about the Soul Spirit Technique flooded into the golden tortoise's mind.

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the golden hawksbill turtle received information very quickly and processed everything in no time.

After the Golden Tortoiseshell understood the effects and process of the Soul Spirit Technique, Zhou Sichen immediately began the fusion process.

This was Zhou Sichen's first time helping so many people fuse their souls.

As Zhou Sichen released his martial soul, two soul rings, one platinum and one crimson, rose from his body.

The golden tortoiseshell's eyes narrowed the moment it saw the two spirit rings.

With its discerning eye, how could it not see the unusual nature of these two spirit rings?

Not to mention the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations contained within that extraordinary platinum-gold spirit ring.

The power of this 100,000-year-old soul ring far surpasses that of the ring itself.

Thinking of this, the golden tortoiseshell became even more certain that its decision was correct.

The Book of Contracts is the first spirit, and the body is the second spirit. Its owner's potential is definitely the greatest among spirit masters.

If it makes the wrong bet, it has no right to call itself the king of auspicious omens besides mythical beasts.

The soul fusion began, and the whole process went very smoothly.

However, when Zhou Sichen began to fuse the power of the golden tortoiseshell, a sudden change occurred.

The rich golden light emanating from the golden tortoiseshell surged towards Zhou Sichen, beginning to merge with him.

However, during the fusion process, a massive life force suddenly surged out from the golden tortoiseshell.

The tortoise shell on its back did not become ethereal due to the fusion; instead, it became even more solid.

Intense golden light, mixed with an extremely rich life force, emerged from the tortoise shell.

Every keratinous ridge on the tortoise shell was now radiating golden light, exuding a rich aura of life.

Feeling this powerful vitality, Zhou Sichen smiled.

Old Yi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Gold of Life! Such a large piece of Gold of Life!! Si Chen, we're rich!!!"

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "Elder Yi, is this an unexpected surprise?"

Old Yi laughed out loud: "The life-gold inside this turtle is many times more than your life-gold blade. With this life-gold, you'll have a hard time dying even if you want to in the future."

Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "This golden tortoiseshell is indeed an auspicious creature. It truly deserves to be considered second only to auspicious beasts in terms of fortune."

Then, Zhou Sichen pretended not to know and asked the golden tortoiseshell, "What's going on with you? What's with this intense life force?"

The golden hawksbill turtle was a little embarrassed to speak. It glanced at Zhou Sichen, seemingly in a state of great pain, and immediately closed its eyes again.

Zhou Sichen shook his head helplessly: "Fortunately, I have a way to solve it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Sichen's Eye of Life quietly opened.

A beam of emerald light flashed and instantly emerged from the Eye of Life, hovering above the golden tortoise shell.

Under Zhou Sichen's control, the emerald light slowly took shape, transforming into the form of a small carving knife.

The next moment, the rich life force in the air gathered like a vast ocean, converging on the small, gleaming carving knife.

Zhou Sichen directly used the Blade of Life to devour the Life Gold within the Golden Tortoise Shell, turning it into his own.

Gradually, the life force on the golden tortoiseshell diminished as it was devoured by the Blade of Life.

But the golden tortoiseshell had no effect whatsoever; on the contrary, it made the tortoiseshell appear much lighter.

As Zhou Sichen devoured the life-giving gold within the golden hawksbill turtle's body, its already large body began to grow even larger, with more and more abundant life energy constantly surging outwards.

As the Blade of Life absorbed this pure life force, its own emerald green light grew even stronger.

Zhou Sichen's body also changed during this process.

Immersed in that rich vitality, Zhou Sichen's pores opened up, greedily absorbing everything, feeling indescribably comfortable.

As Zhou Sichen was nourished by this powerful life force.

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, a soft emerald green halo also appeared on the bodies of Ilex, whose third martial soul was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with the Wisdom Soul Ring, and Ice Emperor.

These halos, like faint flames, rose around their bodies.

Elder Yi, Ice Emperor, and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm all showed obvious excitement on their faces.

Such abundant vitality is an absolute tonic for them.

Although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor possess intelligent soul rings, vitality is also what they crave most.

Furthermore, Zhou Sichen will later transform them into spirits.

Now that they have so much energy, in the future, when they transform into spirits, they will be able to become more and more like physical entities.

Their ability to unleash their full potential will only increase.

Life energy, and such pure life energy at that, is even more effective at replenishing them than soul energy.

After the Ice Emperor transforms into a spirit, nourished by this Life Gold, she will be able to remain outside her body for extended periods, using the Ice Emperor Armor crafted from her body.

Furthermore, because Hyotei's spirit state was strong enough at that time, the power he could unleash with the Ice Emperor Armor was no less than it was in life.

The only problem is that after becoming a spirit, the mental and spiritual power she consumes all belongs to Zhou Sichen.

Although the Ice Emperor Armor can restore its former strength, its endurance will be greatly reduced.

However, once Zhou Sichen's strength continues to break through and his soul power becomes strong enough, this will no longer be a weakness.
