Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 101 The Sixth Soul Ring
It's no wonder Ding Quan was somewhat surprised. Two soul skills are something that only a 100,000-year soul ring can possess, while the soul ring that Wei'er absorbed was only 60,000 years old, even though it came from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Vera's sixth spirit ring is indeed somewhat unusual. It doesn't look black at all; it looks like a completely gray spirit ring.

"It's probably because I absorbed its soul bone. There's a skill that requires a soul bone to use, and it seems the soul bone didn't provide me with any skills, it just greatly amplified my attributes and strengthened my wind and thunder attributes," Wei'er said. However, the smile on her face didn't fade when she talked about the soul bone, clearly indicating that it wasn't that simple.

"Is this so?"

"Tell me about the Soul Ring skills."

"These are the two skills that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger uses most often. Let's name them after the skills you mentioned before: Evil God Thrust and Evil God's Blessing."

"Evil God Thrust: After releasing the soul skill, I will move rapidly in one direction. The speed may only be slightly slower than teleportation. During the thrust, all my attributes will be doubled. It can be used simultaneously with my other soul skills."

"The protection of the evil god requires the use of a soul bone to form a defense on the body with one's own soul power. It can basically make one immune to all soul skill attacks. However, when attacked, it will rapidly consume my soul power. The amount of soul power consumed depends on the strength of the attack. I feel that I can even withstand the attack of a titled Douluo, but I can't last long."

"Moreover, these two skills have no restrictions. Evil God's Protection is fine, as it won't consume soul power if I'm not attacked. However, Evil God's Thrust consumes soul power very quickly, so I can't use it continuously right now."

After explaining her two soul skills, Wei'er looked very happy.

These two skills are the most frequently used skills of the Dark Demon God Tiger, which is also the main reason why it has been able to persist in the hands of the two great beast kings and Tang Hao.

"As expected!" Ding Quan nodded upon hearing this. If he were to obtain two skills from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, then these two skills would undoubtedly be the most important. With these two skills, he would be able to achieve both offense and defense.

As for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Arena of Life and Death, such a skill clearly no longer belongs to the category of Soul Skills, but rather to Divine Skills. This is not a skill that Soul Rings can support; Divine Skills are more like self-created Soul Skills, which can only be mastered through learning.

With these two skills, Wei'er has finally obtained the defensive soul skill she has always needed. Ding Quan can imagine that once the Evil God's Protection is activated, what soul master could stand up to her head-on after the Evil God charges in and gets close?

It seems that once you reach the Soul Saint level, even ordinary Title Douluos would find it difficult to be a match for Wei'er, let alone compare to her.

"Wei'er, where is the soul bone?" Ling suppressed his surprise and continued to ask.

"The soul bone doesn't seem to have given me any skills, but it has greatly enhanced all my attributes. I can feel that my attributes have more than doubled, and my wind and thunder attributes have also increased significantly." As Wei'er spoke, purple-gold lightning erupted from her body, forming a purple-gold lightning ball in the eyes of Ding Quan and Ling, and a gust of bluish-purple wind swirled around it.

"This is Dark Demonic Lightning!? And it has wind attribute too." Ding Quan was somewhat surprised when he saw this. It was exactly the same as the Dark Demonic Lightning used by the Dark Demonic God Tiger, only the color was different.

"It seems that this soul bone mainly amplifies Wei'er's wind and thunder attributes. Wei'er's wind and thunder attributes are very compatible with it, and all of them have become amplifications." Ding Quan thought for a moment and said. Although Dark Demon Evil Thunder and Wind Blade are skills of Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Wei'er has a strong control over her own thunder attribute and can use them without soul skills.

The fact that all attributes are increased by more than double is something that many Soul Saints cannot achieve even after using their Martial Soul True Body. Therefore, Ding Quan was somewhat surprised that this Soul Bone did not provide any Soul Skills and instead provided only amplification effects.

With the current enhancement of Wei'er's soul skills and soul bones, she could probably unleash a single strike with the power of a Soul Saint releasing a fifth soul skill or higher, and that would only be if she released her Martial Soul True Body.

"And this tail."

"Sister, this soul bone is the same as Quan's head soul bone."

"You mean?"

“That’s right, this is equivalent to an external soul bone, and I’ve already used its function before.”

"Swallow!"

"You can use this evil god's hook to devour the life force and soul power of others to enhance your own strength and increase the age of your soul bones."

"If you don't have to use this ability, then don't!" Ding Quan's expression turned serious upon hearing this. This skill is very similar to that of the Fallen One. Although Wei'er is not about to fall, it's best to nip it in the bud. Having a way to quickly improve one's strength inevitably leads to going astray.

"Quan, don't worry. With my current soul power quality, I don't need those mixed soul powers. Indiscriminately absorbing them would be detrimental to me. If it weren't for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, I wouldn't have absorbed it."

"That's good, but the Evil God Hook should have more than just that function."

"Its attack is very strong, and it has a similar effect to Izumi's Purification skill. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul power has an erosion effect, which can destroy other people's soul skill attacks. My current soul power also has this characteristic, but it requires strong eyesight. With my current strength, I can't do some powerful soul skill attacks yet." Vera then said. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had already demonstrated this skill before, using this ability to break the Dark Gold Terror Claw's attack.

"The corrosive effect... It seems that no enemy can easily defend against the attacks of the three of us." Ling Wenyan laughed as well. His ice and fire attributes had a corrosive effect, which could clear away and consume the soul power of others. Now, Wei'er's soul power also had this effect.

Then, the effects of other people's soul skills will be greatly reduced when facing several people. As for Quan, needless to say, his attacks have a penetrating effect, and no one can completely defend against them.

As the group chatted, they suddenly spotted a familiar city in the distance.

This is Suotuo City, where the group has lived for some time. It is not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, and the group has a place to stay here. With their current strength, they will not be in any danger here.

"Let's go straight to where we used to cultivate. I need to deal with this thing in my hand as soon as possible." Ding Quan looked at the familiar city and glanced at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Inner Core that he had been holding in his hand. He really couldn't rest easy until he absorbed it quickly.

“Alright!” Ling and Wei’er knew Ding Quan’s plan. This was also why Wei’er did not intend to absorb the bead, even though it came from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Ding Quan needed the inner core more now, and his martial soul was already at the absolute top and could hardly evolve.

Wei'er was somewhat emotional. She absorbed two immortal herbs to evolve into a top-tier martial soul. When she reached her fifth soul ring, she absorbed a super soul beast with the bloodline of the Thunder God and evolved into an ultimate martial soul. Now, she has absorbed another super soul beast with the aura of an evil god. Her martial soul has now grown wings. Her extremely yang and strong soul power contains extremely yin power, combining strength and gentleness. Now, her martial soul has reached the level of a god.

Moreover, after absorbing this soul ring, Jin Guangyu's Dark Gold Terror Claw on her right hand has reached the age of 50,000 years. This is why she can say that Ding Quan may not be her match. With the amplification of these top-level soul bones, she doesn't even know what level she can reach now.

Ding Quan planned to absorb these two inner cores, one of extreme yin and the other of extreme yang. If he succeeded, Wei'er didn't know how strong he would become, but she figured he wouldn't be weaker than her.

A moment later, they arrived at a forest outside Soto City, the place where the group had cultivated before. It seemed that no one had come here.

After a quick tidying up, Ding Quan took out the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent from his storage soul tool. Looking at the inner core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in his hand, the Dragon Abyss Sword appeared beside him and landed in front of him. Ding Quan relaxed his mind, and the five marks on the Dragon Abyss Sword flew out from the hilt. Five strange soul rings—two yellow, one purple, and two black—appeared on Ding Quan's body, two of which had golden and red halos.

"Protect me." Ding Quan nodded to Ling and Wei'er, then circulated his soul power and began to absorb the power within them.

Under the influence of Ding Quan's soul power, orange-red flames instantly rose from the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent and wrapped around Ding Quan's arm, instantly engulfing one of his hands.

"elder sister!"

“It’s alright. Although Quan doesn’t control fire elements, his fire attribute is quite powerful. Moreover,” Ling noticed that Ding Quan’s hands did not have any burn marks. The flames could not harm Ding Quan. And just as Quan said, this inner core was indeed extremely yang, and even his attribute, which was close to the ultimate ice, was affected.

“Yes, and that thing too.” As Wei’er spoke, Ding Quan’s second soul ring lit up, and the fiery cloud patterns on the Dragon Abyss Sword glowed. In their eyes, a phantom more than two meters tall and nearly four meters long appeared beside Ding Quan.

"It's so big!" Wei'er was also stunned when she saw the phantom. Although Ding Quan had told her that when she absorbed the second soul ring, the soul of the Suanni was not erased by him, but was recuperating in his spiritual sea, Ding Quan had never let it out, after all, the Suanni liked quiet.

Back then, this Suanni-blooded spirit beast was only about one meter tall, but now it's much larger.

Moreover, because Ding Quan absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Golden Dragon Soul, its soul also transformed into this kind of Suanni.

"Given Quan's current strength, this Suanni must be over 30,000 years old, so its enormous size is to be expected." Ling sensed the Suanni's soul aura, and its presence was even stronger than the Icefield Bear they had encountered before.

"But I feel like something's off about it."

"strangeness?"

“My soul bone is trembling a bit.” Wei’er looked at the Suanni, thought for a moment, and then a tail appeared behind her. Under Ling and Wei’er’s gaze, the Suanni instantly fixed its eyes on the Evil God Hook behind Wei’er.

Golden flames rose from the Suanni's body, while a gray aura appeared on Vera's Evil God Hook, making the originally purple-gold Evil God Hook look sinister.

This is!

Ling looked at the two opposing soul forces, which seemed to be mutually restraining.

"Legend has it that the Suanni possesses the power to exorcise evil spirits, and it seems to be true. Wei'er, put it away." Ling looked at the flames rising from the Suanni soul beast's body, which had a faint sense of holiness, while the Evil God Hook on Wei'er's body was very evil. It seemed that the two were not compatible.

"It seems that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was able to find our location because of Ding Quan." Wei'er nodded and put away the Evil God Hook. When the group left, they did use their Martial Souls, and at that time, Ding Quan's Dragon Abyss Sword had that Soul Ring on it.

It must have sensed the threat posed by the Suanni soul within Ding Quan. Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a super soul beast, the Suanni is a true dragon, and is also a super soul beast.

"That makes sense, and the Suanni is an auspicious beast that brings good fortune and wards off evil."

This is probably why our Soul Hunt was so surprisingly successful this time. Ling looked at the Suanni and stopped looking at Wei'er. Instead, the golden flames drew the flames surging from the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent to Ding Quan. After the flames on the Suanni became more and more intense, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, after Ding Quan absorbed the spirit ring, the spirit beasts they found seemed to be quite extraordinary, and hunting them wasn't particularly difficult.

Even this time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which originally had no chance, appeared in front of them after being severely injured.

Ling and Wei'er composed themselves and looked at the Suanni, which had sat down cross-legged in front of Ding Quan again. This guy really didn't like to move, but with it around, absorbing the energy of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core was no problem at all. Ling noticed the way the Suanni looked at the dark inner core in Ding Quan's right hand. This Suanni's soul could also restrain it.

Under Ling and Wei'er's gaze, the inner core of the Blazing Sun Serpent in Ding Quan's hand began to slowly shrink, eventually becoming about the same size as the inner core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Suanni's soul opened its eyes, and a golden flame instantly surrounded Ding Quan's right hand. An extremely yin and evil aura emanated from the Evil God Pearl and was immediately absorbed by Ding Quan.

Ding Quan felt a chill run through his body, which had been burning for a long time. It wasn't as uncomfortable as he had imagined. It was like eating an ice cube on a scorching volcano, extremely refreshing.

Moreover, the circulation of the five elements within the body accelerated rapidly, frantically absorbing the energy of the two inner cores.

He could feel his body rapidly strengthening. This was the first time in more than two years that he had felt his physical strength increasing rapidly. What surprised Ding Quan was that after the energy of the two inner cores entered his body, it actually stayed in his chest cavity and circulated repeatedly.

The five internal organs have actually reached this point.

Ding Quan knew that the five elements corresponded to the five internal organs, with wood corresponding to the liver, which could regulate the body's energy. This was also the reason why his body grew rapidly after absorbing his first soul ring and became stronger than other soul masters.

Fire corresponds to the heart, promoting blood circulation; Earth corresponds to the spleen, transforming food into energy and having a biochemical and storage function; Metal corresponds to the lungs, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during breathing and dispelling useless energy; Water corresponds to the kidneys, receiving energy and storing essence.

The five elements circulation in the body is now completed within these five internal organs, no longer passing through the whole body, and is more efficient.

Outside, the inner cores of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger gradually disappeared. In the eyes of Wei'er and Ling, a faint black soul ring appeared on Ding Quan's body. It was not accurate to say it was black; rather, it resembled a delicate gray.

At the same time, a strange fluctuation appeared on Ding Quan's body, with masculine and yin cold alternating. The aura that appeared on Ding Quan's body now surprised Ling and Wei'er even more.

Vitality, heat, weight, sharpness, permeation—different auras cycle and repeat.

"How strange, and these attributes?"

"The ultimate? And there's more than one kind?"
