Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 495 Soul Ring Selection, Ning Rongrong's Shock

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng's expression turned serious, and the distracting thoughts in his mind were instantly dispelled.

It turns out it was about the spirit rings, which is indeed the most important thing right now.

He nodded: "I see. The choice of spirit rings is crucial and certainly requires careful consideration."

Upon hearing this, the High Priest continued, "The Starry Sky Forest is fraught with danger. Although I am here to protect you, it is impossible for me to be there for you in every aspect."

"Having a clear objective can reduce our unnecessary time spent in the periphery and mixed zones, thereby reducing risk."

"Moreover, Zhu Qing and Nana's situations are both quite special."

"I heard they took the pills you gave them..."

"Whether it's physical fitness, meridian resilience, or even mental strength, they have all been greatly tempered and improved, far surpassing those of other Soul Masters of the same level."

"According to you, the maximum lifespan of spirit rings they can withstand also needs to be reassessed, and we can't apply the standards of ordinary spirit masters to it?"

Dai Chengfeng nodded, "That's right, their soul ring age can definitely be increased by several thousand years without any problem."

"Using ordinary years of experience to measure their current potential is undoubtedly a waste, and may even limit their future development potential."

Zhu Hongye nodded slightly and asked, "It seems you already have some ideas in mind?"

"What suggestions do you have for Zhu Qing and Nana's choice of spirit rings, especially regarding the age limit?"

Although she was powerful and knowledgeable, Dai Chengfeng always managed to come up with some unexpected yet highly effective ideas, which made her willing to listen to his opinions.

Dai Chengfeng did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhu Zhuqing first, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"Zhu Qing, your martial soul is the Netherworld Cat, an agility-type soul master."

"The first two soul skills, 'Netherworld Thrust' and 'Netherworld Hundred Claws,' are both extremely powerful close-range single-target attack skills."

"I think your third spirit ring should continue to strengthen this direction, but you could add some functionality, such as..."

"An explosive increase in speed?"

In her past life, Zhu Zhuqing's third soul skill was the Netherworld Slash, which was quite powerful, but Dai Chengfeng felt...

It would be better to let Zhu Zhuqing learn some amplification-type soul skills in advance.

After all, she already has two offensive soul skills, 'Netherworld Thrust' and 'Netherworld Hundred Claws', so she doesn't lack offensive means for the time being.

The effect of the Netherworld Slash is extremely limited.

Across from her, Zhu Zhuqing listened attentively, a thoughtful glint in her cool eyes. She nodded gently.

"I understand."

Upon seeing this, Dai Chengfeng continued, "As for the time limit..."

"According to traditional theory, the limit of the third spirit ring is around 1,700 years."

"But with your body tempered by the medicinal power of the pills I gave you, I believe you are fully capable of trying to absorb a soul ring with an age between three thousand five hundred and four thousand years!"

"This is almost double the original amount. Although there will be risks, the rewards will be enormous and will greatly solidify your foundation."

"More than three thousand years?"

Before Zhu Zhuqing could speak, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but gasp and cover her mouth.

She knew that a thousand years for a third spirit ring was already the standard for a genius, so Dai Chengfeng had directly raised it to almost the limit of a fourth spirit ring, which was truly astonishing.

For a moment, a strange light flickered in her eyes as she looked at Dai Chengfeng.

"What kind of pill did Dai Chengfeng give Zhu Zhuqing? Its effects are incredible!" "If my third spirit ring could also be over three thousand years old, wouldn't my father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa be utterly astonished? Hehe~"

Ning Rongrong seemed to be lost in her fantasy, unable to stop herself from giggling.

Looking at Ning Rongrong's 'silly grin' expression, Dai Chengfeng roughly understood what she was thinking.

To be honest, Dai Chengfeng had considered giving Ning Rongrong whale gelatin and fairy grass.

After all, the reason why his Four Symbols and Five Elements Lotus was able to mature so smoothly was inseparable from the help of Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi.

Dai Chengfeng is not an ungrateful person; it's just that Ning Rongrong didn't know about the immortal herb before, and Dai Chengfeng gave it to her rashly, so she thought he had other intentions...

"Now it seems the time is ripe..."

For a moment, Dai Chengfeng seemed to be deep in thought.

On the other side, Zhu Hongye had no idea what Dai Chengfeng was thinking. Hearing Dai Chengfeng's analysis of Zhu Zhuqing, he nodded slightly and did not object.

"The four thousand years limit is extremely challenging, but considering Zhu Qing's willpower and physical condition, the success rate should be over 70%, so it can be listed as a priority target."

"In terms of the types of soul beasts, we tend to choose agile soul beasts that excel in speed and attack, such as Ghost Tiger and Shadow Leopard, or special soul beasts with shadow and nether attributes, which may produce more suitable soul skills."

Dai Chengfeng nodded: "The High Priest has considered everything thoroughly."

After speaking of Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Chengfeng turned his gaze to Hu Liena:
"Nana, your martial soul is a fox spirit, a control-type soul master, and you also have remarkable spiritual power talent."

"Your first four soul skills are more focused on mental control, such as charm and illusion."

"I think there are two directions for strengthening your fifth spirit ring."

"Firstly, we will continue to deepen our mental control abilities, such as by acquiring a more powerful, wider-ranging, or group charm-type soul skill that can affect multiple targets simultaneously."

"Secondly, one could consider supplementing one's own survivability or auxiliary attack methods, such as a short-range teleportation soul skill, or a powerful single-target mental attack soul skill, to defeat the enemy in a critical moment."

A glint flashed in Hu Liena's alluring eyes; she was clearly very interested in Dai Chengfeng's analysis, and asked with a smile:

So, which direction do you prefer?

After a moment of contemplation, Dai Chengfeng said, "From a long-term perspective and for teamwork, I slightly prefer the first direction: acquiring a powerful group control soul skill."

"A top-tier control-type Soul Master plays a decisive role in a team."

"Of course, the second direction can also greatly enhance your personal abilities."

"It depends on what you value more and what kind of soul beasts we actually encounter."

Hu Liena nodded, indicating that she accepted the analysis.

Dai Chengfeng continued, "As for the age limit, the theoretical limit of the fifth spirit ring is about 12,000 years."

"But I believe your fifth spirit ring is more than capable of challenging spirit beasts that are between 15,000 and 18,000 years old!"

"In fact, if the soul beast is particularly compatible, it might not be impossible to try even after 20,000 years!"

This timeframe once again made Ning Rongrong gasp in shock.

After all, aside from Dai Chengfeng, someone else absorbed a fifth spirit ring that took nearly 20,000 years to grow? That's unheard of!

At this moment, the two women had finished selecting the approximate types and durations of their spirit rings, and they both turned their gazes toward Dai Chengfeng.

"Chengfeng, do you have any options for your sixth spirit ring?"

Dai Chengfeng smiled slightly, then a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes: "High Priest, I have a very clear goal regarding the sixth spirit ring!"
