Douluo: The Unrivaled Evil Nightmare Devil

Chapter 112 Come, get this soul ring!

After stabilizing himself for a long time, Ye Qing did not stay in Xingluo City for too long. After taking a look at the current situation of our protagonist, he went straight back to Shrek Academy.

The protagonist is of course Huo Gua.

He is almost eleven years old, his soul power level is over eight, his father doesn't love him and his mother is a sacrifice to the gods, and he stands like a minion in the Duke's Mansion.

Oh, no, he's not standing like a minion. He's just a minion in the Duke's Mansion, worse than cattle and horses. Anyone can come and step on him. He's even more useless than the loser on the road.

“According to the plot, next year will be the time when Huo Yuhao’s three-year period will be up and the Dragon King will return, right?” Ye Qing fell into thought.

Since he had been coaxing Beibei in the past few years, the two of them actually entered Shrek a year earlier. As for why Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan also entered a year earlier, we can only ask whether someone in heaven intervened.

Originally, Beibei met Huo Yuhao during the holiday in the third grade, and it became the holiday in the fourth grade.

Which means... there's still one year left.

"But what about Zhang Lexuan? Clearly in the original book, she would experience an attack by a hundred thousand year soul beast, and Xuanzi would make great contributions to the Holy Spirit Church?" Ye Qing was a little confused. In order to confirm this, he would go to play with Zhang Lexuan every few days in the past year.

It was not to capture Zhang Lexuan, but to show his 100,000-year fifth soul ring in a reasonable way.

Ye Qing was going to go with Zhang Lexuan on this soul hunting trip. Xuanzi was bound to fail anyway, so he could use the excuse of helping them delay time to lure the hundred thousand year soul beast over, and then let Biji get rid of the unlucky kid. He could also take the opportunity to show off his hundred thousand year soul ring.

Ye Qing: In order to prevent Sister Le Xuan from getting hurt, I decided to lure the 100,000 year soul beast away to buy them some time. However, this 100,000 year soul beast was too weak and it fell down before I could even use any strength.

Well, that’s how the hundred thousand year spirit ring came about.

perfect!

Naturally, Ye Qing also needed to pay attention to Zhang Lexuan's movements. As a result, he visited Zhang Lexuan more than ten times in the past year. On average, he went to the inner courtyard to have a meal with her and go shopping with her every month, but he never heard from her that the inner courtyard had any soul hunting plan.

More importantly, Zhang Lexuan’s soul power level is only level 73!
She is still far from becoming an eight-ringed Soul Douluo. How did she absorb this hundred thousand year soul ring in the original novel?

"Does a soul master have to wait until he reaches a bottleneck before he can absorb a soul ring?" So Ye Qing found Moon and asked this question.

Moon looked at Ye Qing with strange eyes. After a long silence, he asked, "Why do you have such a problem?"

"As a soul master, learning more about the profession of soul master will help you understand the world better." This is Ye Qing's answer.

With Moon's experience of living for more than two hundred years, he could of course see that Ye Qing was talking nonsense, but since Ye Qing had already raised this question, as a teacher, he didn't mind explaining it to Ye Qing.

"If you haven't reached the bottleneck, you can naturally absorb spirit rings, but the essence of spirit rings is to help spirit masters break through the bottleneck of a stage. The premise of breaking through the bottleneck is that you have reached the bottleneck and you need a spirit ring space."

"It's not like there haven't been any soul masters who have tried to absorb soul rings before reaching a bottleneck. After all, each soul ring contains most of the soul power that the soul beast once had, which allows the soul master to obtain a huge amount of soul power at once to break through the current level. Even if the soul ring is not needed, the soul power in the soul ring can be used to make oneself grow rapidly. But this brings up another problem."

"Empty soul ring space?" Ye Qing certainly grasped the key point.

Moon nodded. "If there is no empty space for a soul ring, forcibly inserting a soul ring into the body can certainly allow the soul master to gain a large amount of soul power, but this extra soul ring will also be forcibly integrated into your martial soul if there is no empty space. In the end, there will only be one situation, and that is the shattering of the martial soul."

"Unless you can accurately calculate the total amount of soul power of the soul ring, so that it can accurately reach the next tenth level when helping you break through the soul power level, ensuring that your martial soul can have an empty space to absorb this soul ring."

"But we don't actually advocate this method. First, the more perfect one's cultivation is at a certain stage, the more the soul power nourishes the body. When the bottleneck is reached, the soul rings that can be absorbed will be older, and the degree of integration of the soul rings will naturally be higher."

"The second reason is why spirit masters basically don't use this method to break through. If you forcefully absorb a spirit ring before reaching a bottleneck, the spirit power in the spirit ring will be several times more violent than in a normal state, and the damage to the meridians will be devastating. Even if you are lucky enough to absorb the spirit ring, the violent spirit power will cause the spirit master to enter a long recuperation period. If you want to completely master the violent spirit power, it will take several times longer to completely refine it."

All in all, the cost outweighs the gain.

In the development of Douluo Continent over the years, there is naturally no shortage of a few extremely rebellious players who want to do something fancy. Absorbing spirit rings before reaching the bottleneck is also one of the fancy operations.

Facts have proven that it is indeed possible to absorb spirit rings before reaching a bottleneck. Although it is possible to absorb, the martial soul will be blown up by the spirit ring. The better ones will lose their martial souls and become ordinary people, while the worse ones will start their lives over on the spot. Moreover, the violent energy in the spirit ring is used to break the bottleneck, not to increase the level. If a spirit ring is forcibly put on, the energy in the spirit ring will be used to increase the level. When breaking through the bottleneck, the spirit ring's tempering effect on the soul master's body will naturally become worse.

What's more, it takes a lot of time to completely master the soul ring energies that were originally used to break the bottleneck but were used to increase the level.

The time spent going back and forth is actually not as good as the benefits that can be gained from normal training and obtaining spirit rings.

Far worse.

"So don't try any new tricks. Our ancestors have already taught us with bloody lessons about these behaviors. Only practicing diligently step by step is the right way. Rebellious practice is not allowed." Moon En seriously instructed Ye Qing before floating away.

Beibei is already useless, and Moon certainly doesn't want his extremely talented disciple to get himself killed because he suddenly wants to do something naughty.

If someone else asked this kind of question, Moon En would at most think that this person was curious about knowledge, but if it was Ye Qing, Moon En would probably really think that Ye Qing was dissatisfied with the speed of cultivation of the extreme attributes, and that every time he obtained a soul ring, his strength would leap forward, so he wanted to take an unconventional approach.

A soul master who has not reached the bottleneck to absorb soul rings may be lucky enough to break through to the next bottleneck and just meet the minimum requirements for absorbing soul rings.

Those who are unlucky will explode on the spot.

"Come, take this soul ring!"

……

After that communication with Moon, Ye Qing finally understood why Zhang Lexuan was able to absorb spirit rings before reaching the level of Soul Douluo, and also understood why she stayed at level 82 for so long.

She was indeed only level 73 at this time, but it would probably not take long for her to break through to level 74.

In this way, she only needs to absorb the hundred thousand year soul bone first to upgrade herself by three levels, and then absorb the hundred thousand year soul ring to allow herself to just reach the bottleneck of eighty levels, and then she will be able to perfectly accommodate these two treasures that soul masters dream of.

But then again, how could this be possible without any risk?
If the soul power of the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone is not enough to push her to level 80, then her best outcome would be to become a cripple. Even if she succeeded in the original novel, she still had to lie in bed for a year to recover, and it took another four or five years to reach level 82.

This was the price she paid for forcibly absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring, and it was also the reason why her cultivation seemed to be a bug in the original novel.

Of course, taking a risk like Zhang Lexuan's is completely worthwhile for ordinary soul masters. With a hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone right before their eyes, it is estimated that no soul master would give up such great wealth.

Even though she later lay in bed for a year and wasted several years, the quality of the hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone completely made up for the gap in her cultivation during this period and allowed her to obtain richer rewards than normal cultivation.

"Hey, Sister Le Xuan, it seems that you can't absorb this 100,000-year spirit ring. If you absorb it, how can I use the spirit ring reasonably?"

It should be reasonable to use the lives of your classmates in exchange for your absorption of a hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone later, right?
Ye Qing was determined to kill the golden hawksbill turtle. After all, he was salivating over the piece of life gold in its body. Ye Qing no longer cared much for an ordinary 100,000-year soul ring, so he decided to exchange one of his own 100,000-year soul beast quota for the life of the golden hawksbill turtle.

When the time comes, the Gold of Life will be taken out and given to Brigitte. It is up to Brigitte to choose whether to use the Gold of Life herself or return it to the Lake of Life.

The soul rings and soul bones were absorbed by Zhang Lexuan.

For the sake of the stolen gold of life, if Brigitte wanted to swallow it herself, she would most likely not tell Di Tian about it. And if she wanted to return it, Di Tian would make an exception and let Ye Qing give the soul ring quota to someone else.

A piece of stolen gold of living things is much more valuable to Di Tian than a hundred thousand year old soul beast, not to mention that it was Golden Daimao, the traitor who stole the gold of living things, and Ye Qing was using the quota that he should have used.

As for whether the golden hawksbill turtle's soul ring and soul bone are suitable for Zhang Lexuan?

It's good enough to be able to absorb spirit rings and spirit bones of this level. You still want to choose. The hundred thousand year spirit beast killed by Zhang Lexuan in the original novel may not be suitable for Zhang Lexuan.

And to be honest, if I gave Zhang Lexuan a 100,000-year soul beast to kill, and gave her a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone for free, I guess she would have pledged herself to me on the spot...

"Hey, it's better to keep it within the family. How about collecting it?"
