Douluo Golden Shovel: One Hextech Gunpla every year!

Chapter 14 Master Xu Yu's Shock

"You didn't just randomly hunt down a spirit ring for yourself, did you?"

Xu Yu was getting anxious. Everyone carefully selects their soul rings, wanting to get the best. He quickly urged Hong Lian.

"What kind of spirit beast spirit ring did you attach to yourself? Show it to me right now."

Oh dear, you!

Honglian is usually quite careful, but this time, her willfulness really made Xu Yu a little anxious.

He secretly cried out in his heart and prayed that Honglian could hunt down the enemy and obtain a decent first spirit ring, unlike him, whose first spirit ring could only be a white 80-year spirit ring.

"Shouldn't it be at least a hundred-year-old spirit ring?"

Xu Yu thought to himself, if a top-tier beast martial soul with innate full soul power has a ten-year soul ring as its first soul ring, wouldn't this account be completely ruined?

Xu Yu was conflicted, but then he thought of the soul-guided sniper ray gun that Hong Lian had taken with her.

"With the power of that level-four soul tool, the Soul Guidance Sniper Ray Gun, Honglian should be able to kill at least one hundred-year-old soul beast as her first soul ring, right?"

Xu Yu thought to himself.

Given Honglian's independence and intelligence, she shouldn't have chosen a ten-year-old soul beast as her soul ring.

The remaining questions are whether the soul rings from the soul beasts that Honglian obtained are compatible with him, and whether his soul skills are good or not.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, right? After all, if it's a hundred-year-old soul beast, the minimum strength of its soul skills should be guaranteed... um... this is..."

While Xu Yu was trying to find reasons for Hong Lian in his mind and comfort and hypnotize himself, Hong Lian did not directly tell Xu Yu what she had gained.
Instead, he carefully walked outside the courtyard gate and firmly closed all the doors to his shop's courtyard and inner rooms.

Then, Xu Yu, who was constantly comforting himself, saw a scene that he would never forget.

A solitary, deep purple spirit ring floated before his eyes.

Honglian did not hide anything from her master Xu Yu, after all, he was her master, or rather, Xu Yu, who had picked her up and raised her for six years in this world, could be considered her father.

Moreover, the Dragon Girl Martial Soul will have to be used no matter what in the future.

The color of the spirit rings will eventually be revealed to the world; there's nothing that can be done about it.

Xu Yu was completely stunned by this round of spirit rings.

"This, this... what is this?"

Xu Yu stammered, unable to speak for a moment.

He pointed a trembling finger at Honglian, then suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Honglian's shoulders with both hands, and then grabbing her cheeks again.

"Master, it hurts, it hurts, ouch!"

"Let me see who you are, pretending to be my disciple. Give Honglian back to me right now."

Xu Yu pulled and rubbed Honglian's face for a while.

After playing around for a while, Xu Yu finally managed to vent his shock. He decided not to open the shop for business today and sat in a chair looking at Hong Lian.

"Tell me, what exactly happened? Which thousand-year-old soul beast's soul ring is this?"

"You're really not afraid of death, daring to go and fight a thousand-year-old soul beast with a soul-guided sniper rifle."

As a result, Honglian once again made a shocking statement.

“Master, this is the soul ring of the legendary Azure Scale Giant Tree in the Soul Beast Forest, which is over 7,800 years old.”

"Cough cough cough."

Having mentally prepared himself, Xu Yu thought he could withstand whatever Honglian said, but he coughed and immediately got up.

He waved to stop Honglian. "Wait a moment, I'll go get a quick-acting heart medicine to keep on hand."

Honglian continued speaking only after Xu Yu had caught his breath again.

Afterwards, Honglian described to her master Xu Yu how she killed the Azure Scale Giant Tree, but concealed the fact that she had the Golden Shovel System and her Hextech Strike constantly burning away the Azure Scale Giant Tree's life force.

Xu Yu didn't think much of it. He rubbed the stubble on his chin, pondering Honglian's words.

If, as Honglian says, the attack range of the Azure Scale Giant Tree is smaller than that of the Soul-Guided Sniper Ray Gun, then it is indeed possible that Honglian could use the Soul-Guided Sniper Ray Gun to shoot at a live target and slowly wear down the Azure Scale Giant Tree.

Xu Yu didn't doubt Honglian's words too much.

After all, the deep purple thousand-year soul ring had already been brought back by Honglian, so what else could Xu Yu say?

However, this time will be extended considerably, as the baby bottle soul tool needs to be repeatedly recharged.

But Xu Yu felt that this was also feasible.

After all, the baby bottle soul tools they created were different from the ancient versions they had previously acquired.

Under Honglian's ingenious ideas, the two of them had already made improvements to the milk bottle soul tool.

The baby bottle soul tool can actively absorb sunlight and scattered natural soul power from the surroundings, slowly replenishing itself.

It should be able to provide more endurance for the Soul Guided Sniper Ray Gun.

In Honglian's words, this thing is like solar energy or something.

After all, in the Douluo Continent, light is also a type of power attribute.

Indeed, that was the case. Even after the soul power stored in Honglian's level-two milk bottle soul tools was depleted, some soul power could still be replenished in those used milk bottles, allowing Honglian to continue using them.

Moreover, those first-grade baby bottles are not useless.

In Honglian's design, high-end baby bottles have an interface that can be hung on low-end baby bottles.

Aren't low-grade baby bottles too low-powered to be used as bullets?

You can attach four level 1 milk bottles to level 2 or 3 milk bottles, and then use the Soul Guide Sniper Ray Gun to fire upwards from the level 2 or 3 milk bottles.

It can continue to support the battery life for a while.

This is a new function that Honglian designed in the baby bottle by drawing on the technology of her previous life, such as adapters, boosters, and transformers.

No wonder Xu Yu said Honglian was a genius.

Honglian's ingenious designs have transcended the development of soul tools themselves and are ahead of their time.

……

Therefore, Xu Yu gradually accepted Honglian's claim that she had shot and killed the Azure Scale Giant Tree.

As for how Honglian absorbed the 7800-year-old Azure Scale Giant Tree Soul Ring, Xu Yu no longer wanted to ask.

In any case, it was already a miracle that Honglian was able to kill the nearly eight-thousand-year-old Azure Scale Giant Tree. It wouldn't be unacceptable if she could absorb another soul ring and cause another miracle.

As for external soul bones and such, Honglian ultimately chose not to mention them.

Seeing her master's startled reaction, Honglian was genuinely afraid that her master, Xu Yu, wouldn't be able to withstand it and would collapse.

Later, he told his master, Xu Yu, how his Qingfeng dagger had been forcibly sold and taken away.

But Xu Yu did not blame Honglian. Instead, he encouraged her and said, "Honglian, you did a great job. A level two soul tool is nothing. Losing it is losing it. As long as you come back safely, that's all that matters."
