Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 22 The Second Soul Ring
"Master's Wife, I understand. For the second soul ring, I'll choose the thousand-year-old slime!"

Thinking of this, Xu Yang felt refreshed and replied to Madam Ning with a smile.

"Isn't that right? Young people should do whatever they think of, without looking ahead or behind!" Mrs. Ning nodded with a smile. She had often felt that Xu Yang was mature and not like a child. Now it was right!
He stroked Xu Yang's head gently and said, "Go find Hai Yan! Let him take you to hunt for spirit rings. Leave Rong Rong to me for the next few days!"

"Then Madam, I'm leaving first!"

Xu Yang stood up, bowed to Madam Ning, and went out to find Ning Haiyan.

……

Sunflower sea, Xu Yang came here again, not only this time, but probably next time as well.

Xu Yang and Ning Haiyan stood on the branches, looking at the thousands of sunflowers below that were absorbing the power of the sun to practice. Occasionally, they could see some creatures moving slowly under the flowers, using the power of the sunflowers to assist in their own practice.

The two looked around for several times but did not see the slime.

"Uncle Ning, what should we do? It's still the same as last time!" Xu Yang turned around and said.

"Well! This is the only way, but if the slime splits too much, I won't be able to find the one that possesses the core origin!" Ning Haiyan said helplessly.

Slime can continuously split, and the split individuals have the same aura as the original body. Even Soul Sages find it difficult to distinguish them. Only Soul Masters above the level of Soul Douluo can directly see the essence and find the original body of the slime.

Moreover, because of the splitting, the method of judging the age of the slime by its body shape has become useless. The specific age can only be determined by the strength of its soul power, and those who possess this ability are all Soul Sages or above.

Ning Haiyan prepared a little, pushed hard on his feet, and in a flash he was above the sea of ​​sunflowers. The Martial Soul Flame Blade instantly appeared in his hand, and seven soul rings of yellow, purple, and black rose from under his feet. The aura unique to a Soul Saint instantly burst out.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Blazing Flame Body!"

To be on the safe side, Ning Haiyan directly activated his martial soul's true form. Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared behind him, holding a huge flaming sword about twenty meters long in his hand, with raging flames burning on his body.

The momentum grew again, and the invisible soul power began to stir, sweeping around with Ning Haiyan as the center, blowing the sunflowers to shake continuously.

The giant sunflower king in the center of the sea of ​​flowers shrank again and burrowed into the ground, ready to run away at any time.

Inside the sea of ​​flowers, many soul beasts that cultivated with the help of sunflowers all fled in all directions under this momentum. Among them were the mutated fire slimes that Xu Yang needed, as well as the scarabs of light, and there were quite a few of them.

The Scarab of Light is easy to judge, as the age can be determined from the depth of the color on its body and the length of the horns on its head. However, the age of these dozens of fire-mutated slimes cannot be judged at all. Who knows how many of them are just offspring of the original body?

While Xu Yang was thinking about countermeasures, Ning Haiyan had already taken action.

"Sixth soul skill: Transform the sword into three thousand!" Ning Haiyan swung the flaming sword in his hand, and three thousand flaming sword shadows emerged, hitting each slime accurately. He used soft power to pick them all up and landed not far in front of Xu Yang.

After landing, these slimes began to split wildly, but before they could split much, countless knife shadows fell from the sky again, nailing all the slimes in place.

The blades landed at precisely the right spot, each strike only injuring the slimes and rendering them incapable of movement, without killing them. Furthermore, each blade burned with a crimson flame, which burned continuously, preventing the slimes from splitting.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Haiyan stepped on seven soul rings and slowly landed in front of Xu Yang. The explosive momentum made the soul beasts in the distance run faster, and the roaring sound was endless.

Ning Haiyan's eyes seemed to be burning with flames as he kept scanning the slimes that were nailed around him. Suddenly, he swung the flaming knife in his hand, and the sixth black soul ring flashed. Except for the slimes in the front left, the rear right, and a slime close to Xu Yang that were still nailed, the rest of the knife shadows all dissipated.

Suddenly, the slimes on the ground turned into afterimages and fled in all directions, leaving only trails of slime.

"Master, these two have the same aura, so they should be the same creature. Judging by the strength of their soul power, they should be around 1,600 years old. As for the slightly smaller one under your feet, it's 1,200 years old. Please consider which one you want to absorb."

Ning Haiyan pointed at the remaining three slimes and introduced them.

"According to the physical strength test that Grandpa Jian gave me the day before, my current strength should be able to absorb a 1,800-year-old soul beast. I'll let go of the 1,200-year-old one and absorb the 1,600-year-old one."

That's right, now Xu Yang's address to Jian Gu and the others has changed from elders to "grandfather", and the relationship between the three has also become much closer. As for physical strength, it is due to the body tempering techniques created by Gu Douluo and the constantly transformed solar soul power in Xu Yang's body.

This kind of soul power is extremely yang and strong, fierce and domineering, and is most suitable for tempering the body. Coupled with the magical effect of the purple energy from the east, it is possible to temper the body to such a level in more than a year, reaching a level beyond that of ordinary soul masters.

This physical strength is the basis for him to absorb the 1,600-year-old slime.

Hearing this, Ning Haiyan released the slime that was nailed in front of Xu Yang, letting it escape. He swung his knife again, and the other two slimes appeared in front of Xu Yang.

A Tang sword suddenly appeared in Xu Yang's hand. "Swish!" "Swish!" With two slashes, he split the two slimes in front of him into two halves. He didn't know which one was the real one anyway, so he just chopped them both.

After two slashes, a light purple soul ring appeared above the one on the left and began to move slowly, which was very beautiful.

Xu Yang then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to use his mind to draw the spirit ring. As the spirit ring was attached to Xu Yang's martial spirit, the sun spirit, originally only the size of a basketball, instantly grew more than three times in size. The golden flames on it grew even more intense, increasing from ten centimeters to twenty centimeters. From time to time, fire snakes began to swim across the sun's surface.

As the soul ring entered his body, the huge soul power began to impact Xu Yang's internal organs. The hot and overbearing soul power raged in his meridians, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"As expected of a mutant slime with dual attributes of fire and light, its soul power is truly overwhelming. Unfortunately, compared to my solar soul power, it's still far behind!"

The moment Xu Yang felt the enormous soul power in his body, he knew he was safe. Even though the thousand-year soul ring was a qualitative change compared to the hundred-year soul ring, it was far from the limit for him, not to mention that this soul power was still rootless and could not pose any threat at all.
