In Douluo, there is a way to die.

Chapter 73 The demon is born from the demon's mother

Is this what you care about?!

Qian Renxue and the other two were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Who could have known that Gu Yuena would say something like this in the end, which made the three of them feel a little out of sync.

"Alright, look how scared you are! It's just a spirit ring, isn't it?" Gu Yuena guessed what they were thinking as soon as she saw the expressions on their faces. "This girl said that until we become gods and have the power to change the world, this is impossible. Since this girl has already decided to cooperate with you, as her supporter, I can't stop you from getting it."

"Just think of it as me skipping a meal." Di Tian suddenly remembered what Gu Yuena said when Yin Lan obtained his first soul ring, and said this with a cold face.

Hahaha, I didn’t expect that Di Tian also had a talent for telling jokes. Yin Lan’s eyes twitched and he laughed dryly twice.

In fact, there is something Yin Lan has wanted to complain about for a long time. From Yin Lan's perspective, intelligent soul beasts are like the "monsters" in the fantasy novels he read in his previous life, while unintelligent soul beasts are like "beasts" with greater strength and special abilities. However, in the Douluo worldview, both are classified as the same race of "soul beasts."

In Yinlan's opinion, this is actually a very unreasonable thing. Just like "monsters are born from monster mothers" and "beasts are born from beast mothers", the moment a "monster" becomes a "monster", it should not be regarded as the same species as a "beast", just like "humans" certainly would not think that "monkeys" are of the same species as themselves.

However, considering that the "creator" of this world itself has very little common sense, for example, words like "'Death Spider Emperor' and 'Soul-Eating Spider Emperor' are the emperors of insect-type soul beasts" have been written, it doesn't seem strange (hot knowledge, spiders are not insects).

Incidentally, when Yin Lan was still living in Fengling Village, he'd specifically looked up relevant books and noticed that spiders in this world were actually classified as insects! Yin Lan could only blame the lack of advanced science in his time. After all, even a swindler like Yu Xiaogang could become the "top theoretical master."

Although Di Tian said that as a cold joke just now, in fact, if the star beasts have the need to eat, the soul beasts they prey on are all soul beasts that are less than a thousand years old and have not yet awakened. They will never attack the soul beasts that have already awakened.

It was obvious that they had divided these very clearly, but the ten thousand year soul ring that Qian Renxue needed must obviously be obtained from an intelligent soul beast.

Di Tian just said that just to give himself a way out. He really didn't want to provide spirit rings to humans, but Gu Yuena had no objection, so he didn't want to offend Gu Yuena.

The golden-haired lion mastiff killed by Yin Lan before was also intelligent, but it was the kind that was awakened but not fully. It liked to rely on its talent of "ultimate power" to act like a "flat-headed brother" everywhere. It was the kind that was not welcomed anywhere. It was exterminated among the soul beasts in the era of Dou Yi.

It was not until the era of Douluo Dalu that humans learned about the existence of such a soul beast by extracting genetic fragments. However, due to the lack of sufficient information, people in the Douluo Dalu era even wrote down the seemingly ridiculous speculation that "it is suspected to be the common ancestor of all lion-type soul beasts and dog-type soul beasts."

"What are your spirit ring expectations?" Yin Lan looked at Qian Renxue with amusement. Seeing the three of them say this, Qian Renxue felt an inexplicable sense of shame rising from the bottom of her heart. The other party clearly treated them as one of their own, and yet they actually thought the worst of them!

"Grandpa said that the best one is a light unicorn with a cultivation level of nearly 12000 years." Qian Renxue glanced at Gu Yuena and said cautiously.

"12000 years?" Yin Lan raised an eyebrow. This number was a bit too specific. It sounded familiar to her. She pinched the bridge of her nose and asked after a long pause, "You don't believe Yu Xiaogang's 'Top Ten Competitive Strengths of Martial Souls', do you?"

"Although his title of 'Theoretical Master' is questionable," Qian Renxue could clearly see the disdain in Yin Lan's large eyes, and said carefully, "But the theory about the maximum age for absorbing spirit rings should be correct. After all, it's a case study from within our Spirit Hall. My first spirit ring is 420 years old, my second is 760 years old, and my third and fourth spirit rings are also strictly absorbed according to the standard, as close to the limit as possible."

It really was taken from the Spirit Hall! This gigolo... Yin Lan's mouth twitched, and she didn't feel comfortable continuing to complain, mainly because she also relied on gigolos to get to where she was today.

But she didn't use this free lunch to flatter herself or publish wrong theoretical knowledge to mislead the whole world!
"Sister Xue'er," Yin Lan pointed at the four spirit rings behind him, "Do you think my spirit ring configuration matches his theory?"

"But you can't be considered normal, and your soul power level can't be considered normal either," Qian Renxue retorted subconsciously, "You have been trained by a full soul beast clan, so you must be different from us outside soul masters..."

"So the only difference between us is the 'results' of our cultivation," Yin Lan guided her, "and I can absorb three ten-thousand-year spirit rings, which means..."

"...This means that your physical fitness and mental strength, at the Soul Sect stage, are strong enough to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring," Qian Renxue frowned. "This is not something that ordinary forces can cultivate."

"But I didn't ask you to achieve the same level as me," Yin Lan pointed at Qian Renxue again. "Look, Sister Xue'er, you've thought it through. People's physical qualities can't be generalized. Besides, you're not an ordinary person. You're the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, with a god-level spirit, the Seraph. Are you so unconfident in your own talent?"

Qian Daoliu placed all his hopes of becoming a god on his granddaughter. Because of this, he was afraid that something might happen to his granddaughter, so he was too cautious when choosing spirit rings to prevent the risk of explosion and death. As a result, Qian Renxue wasted her early talents in vain. In addition, she insisted on playing lurking. All these factors combined dragged her cultivation talent to an average level, and she couldn't even absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring with her ninth spirit ring.

"...Then what should I choose?" Qian Renxue was a little confused by what she said. In the past, her cultivation route was all according to her grandfather's plan. Why did Yin Lan say this, as if she had wasted her talent in the past?
"Sister Xue'er, do you want to be like your grandfather or your father, and become another 'Angel Douluo' in history?" Yin Lan's black eyes flashed with a gleam, "Or do you want to be an 'Angel Douluo' who leaves a unique legend on the continent?"
