Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 33 Meeting Xu Xiaoyu Again

"With so much spiritual power, isn't it about to be released?" Xie Xie looked at the yellow spiritual power floating in the air and condensed into substance in shock.

"Not really. Our bodies have their limits. We who have two soul rings definitely can't do that. That's because spiritual energy is absorbed evenly. My mental strength can't handle two thousand-year soul rings appearing at the same time. I estimate that when my two soul rings are close to five hundred years old, that's my limit. Yangzi's situation should be similar. At most, he can absorb a little more than me. Perhaps, only Gu Yue and Tang Wulin haven't reached the second ring yet, but they may have thousand-year soul rings." After Wang Jinxi finished explaining, there was some helplessness in his eyes.

It’s such a pity that so much spiritual power cannot be fully utilized.

Xie Xie's eyes looked a little strange. He asked, "Are you sure?"

Wang Jinxi was stunned. "Is there any problem?"

Xie Xie pointed at Lin Ci, who had already sat down in meditation beside him.

His body was like a small vortex, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, as if there was no limit. Like an endless black hole, it continuously swallowed everything outside.

……

"this…"

The staff at the Spirit Ascension Platform were completely stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. They had worked at the Spirit Ascension Platform for many years and had seen all sorts of spirit masters absorb spiritual energy, but they had never seen anything like Lin Ci's seemingly limitless absorption method.

Even if there had been large-scale soul beast killings in the past, the absorption was limited after all. As long as the energy was not absorbed too much, the Soul Pagoda would not interfere too much. But now, Lin Ci seemed to have no limit to the way he could absorb it.

"What kind of monster is this kid?" a staff member couldn't help but whisper.

"I don't know. Logically speaking, even a gifted soul master should have a limit to absorbing spiritual power. He has completely shattered our previous understanding." Another staff member was also shocked.

"Teacher Wu, I must report this situation to my superiors," the staff member said seriously.

Regardless, they must ensure that the interests of the Spirit Pagoda are not harmed. Therefore, this matter must be reported.

Wu Zhangkong frowned slightly and was about to say something when the door outside their observation room suddenly opened.

"Let him absorb it."

A steady female voice came, sounding particularly plain.

But when the staff saw the person coming, they became visibly nervous and hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

This person has been here almost every Monday since he came here half a year ago.

But when Wu Zhangkong saw the person in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank. He knew this person. It was precisely because of this acquaintance that his usually cold mood changed so drastically.

She was once the most beautiful woman in Douluo Continent. Not even the Holy Spirit Douluo could match her in terms of appearance. Now, she is the Deputy Master of the Spirit Pagoda, a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo with the title of Heavenly Phoenix, Leng Yaozhu!

Even though Wu Zhangkong was from Shrek Academy, he still called out respectfully, "Your Majesty the Sky Phoenix."

Leng Yaozhu simply nodded, her eyes fixed on the screen, but she couldn't tell if she was looking at her new disciple or that person.
Within the Spirit Ascension Platform, the absorption process was nearing completion. The spider silk, once a rich yellow-green, had now faded considerably, its toughness and strength significantly reduced, and some signs of breakage were beginning to appear. While the human-faced demon spider was highly venomous, its total toxicity was limited.

Before the spider silk completely faded, Lin Ci slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of clarity appeared in his eyes.

For them, absorbing spiritual energy to increase their spirit rings naturally had a limit. But Lin Ci was different. He directly absorbed spiritual energy to increase his spirit power, so there was no limit. The spiritual energy generated by the spider silk from killing so many spirit beasts had already increased his spirit rings by three levels.

This was the third level after level 30, and it would take months to cultivate normally. But reaching level 3 in just a short while was incredibly fast.

He looked around and found that except for Tang Wulin and Gu Yue who were still meditating and absorbing, Zhang Yangzi, Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi were all looking at him as if he were a monster.

Xie Xie couldn't help but run over and asked curiously, "Brother Ci, how did you do it? How can you absorb so much spiritual power, and it seems like there is no limit at all?"

Lin Ci already had an explanation for this, and simply said, "I'm level 30."

"Level 30!"

Xie Xie's mouth twitched, and he looked like he was doubting his life. During the promotion tournament, he had broken through to level 20, just like Lin Ci.

But only half a year had passed, and he had only advanced a few levels, while Lin Ci had directly reached level 30.

"Level 30?" Wang Jinxi's voice trembled slightly, and he repeated it subconsciously, as if to confirm whether he had heard correctly. His eyes were filled with disbelief, even a hint of confusion. As the one in Class Zero who considered himself to have the most powerful martial spirit, he had always been quite confident in his training speed. But Lin Ci's words were like a hammer, hammering down his confidence.

"You...are you kidding?" Zhang Yangzi finally came to his senses, his voice a little dry. His eyes darted back and forth over Lin Ci, trying to find any trace of a joke on his face.

However, Lin Ci's expression was calm and indifferent, and it was obvious that he was not joking at all.

"Half a year... from level 20 to level 30?" Wang Jinxi muttered to himself, his tone filled with deep shock and a hint of bitterness.

How could the gap between people be so huge? Even if he was given a year, he might have just broken through to level 30. Not to mention half a year, to be precise, it was only three months.

Lin Ci simply said, "Everyone has their own opportunities. Maybe I'm just lucky."

"Good luck?" Wang Jinxi laughed bitterly and shook his head. "Your situation can't be explained by good luck... You simply have a monstrous talent!"

Having said that, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi looked at each other and saw deep helplessness and shock in each other's eyes.

They now knew very well that Lin Ci's strength and talent had far exceeded their imagination, and he might even have reached a height that they could not reach in a short period of time.

This put a lot of pressure on both of them, who were in Class Zero and studying together. After all, they enjoyed the same resources, but the results were not always the same.

However, this also explains why Lin Ci can absorb so much spiritual power. If he is level 30, then it is very likely that a lot of spiritual power will be needed to attach the thousand-year soul ring.

"What a rich spiritual power!"

At this moment, a young man emerged from the nearby woods. He was surrounded by three spirit rings, possessing the cultivation of a Soul Master. In his right hand, he held a long-handled staff, completely white, with only a blue crystal at the tip. His expression was cold and arrogant, and a rich yellow halo flickered around him.

And just behind him, there was a young girl who only poked her head out. She was delicate and looked particularly beautiful.

"Yes, you can find a place like this. Now, I give you ten seconds to exit the Spirit Ascension Platform and leave your spiritual power behind. Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude."
