Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 132 Soul King
The Elephant Armor Sect Master's eyes were filled with jealousy. "Why do they get all the good things? My Elephant Armor Sect has been passed down for a thousand years, why don't we have this kind of luck?!"

"Sect Master, please calm your anger."

An elder advised, "Ning Rongrong is only a Soul Master now, nothing to fear. The real problem is... the attitude of the Spirit Hall."

Hu Yanzhen calmed down and pondered for a moment: "You're right. Bibi Dong would never allow such a variable to exist. We... perhaps should move closer to the Spirit Hall."

Similar scenes are playing out across mainland China.

Some were jealous, some were scheming, some were watching and waiting, and some were plotting.

Meanwhile, at the Tianxing Academy training ground.

The nine-colored beam of light had completely enveloped Ning Rongrong.

The first surge of energy was gentle yet powerful, like a mother's hands, softly caressing her soul's core.

Ning Rongrong felt as if something inside her body had opened a floodgate with a "buzz".

The soul power that had been flowing smoothly suddenly boiled over, surging wildly through her meridians like a river bursting its banks.

Level 48!

With almost no resistance, her soul power broke through the first barrier. She could feel her total soul power increasing wildly, and her meridians widening and strengthening under the flow of energy.

The feeling wasn't painful; rather, it was like soaking in a warm spring, with every cell in my body cheering with joy.

Level 49!

The soul power continued to rise, and the speed did not decrease at all.

Ning Rongrong closed her eyes and looked inward at herself. She could see the soul power vortex in her dantian spinning rapidly, its volume nearly doubling.

The originally somewhat weak soul power became solid and substantial under the tempering of the ranking list energy, and its quality underwent a qualitative leap.

Level fifty!
This is the first important hurdle in the cultivation of a Soul Master.

Many Soul Masters are stuck at level 49 throughout their lives, unable to break through.

But for Ning Rongrong at this moment, this threshold was as fragile as paper.

"boom--"

It felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in my mind.

The moment the level 50 barrier shattered, Ning Rongrong felt as if her soul had been sublimated.

She has a more refined control over her soul power and a more acute perception of the surrounding elements.

More importantly, she clearly sensed the call of the fifth spirit ring slot—a blank space yearning to be filled.

Level 51...Level 52!
When the soul power finally settled at level 52, that gentle energy slowly receded.

Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, her pupils shimmering with a faint nine-colored light. Her entire demeanor underwent a subtle change—she lost a bit of girlish naiveté and gained a touch of the composure of a Soul King.

"I... am level 52?"

She muttered to herself, clenching her fist in disbelief. A surge of spiritual energy coursed through her palm, several times stronger than before.

Then, a second surge of energy followed.

This time, the energy acted directly on her four spirit rings.

The yellow first and second spirit rings, and the purple third and fourth spirit rings, all shone brightly at the same time.

Ning Rongrong could sense that the internal structure of the spirit ring was being reshaped and strengthened.

The feeling was somewhat peculiar, as if someone were using the finest carving tools to sculpt even more complex law patterns onto the spirit ring. The yellow spirit ring began to deepen in color, turning towards a pale purple.

Although it has not yet fully transformed into a thousand-year soul ring, the energy intensity it contains has already reached the level of a third soul ring for an ordinary soul master.

The purple spirit ring became even deeper, turning a deep, almost blackish purple, and its energy fluctuations surged dramatically.

In particular, the fourth spirit ring, which had just reached the threshold of a thousand years, now shows a tendency to evolve towards five thousand years.

The increase of five hundred years in lifespan is a revolutionary boost for a Soul Master of her level.

This means that the power of all her soul skills will be greatly increased, while the consumption of soul skills will be reduced accordingly.

To her even greater surprise, her fifth spirit ring slot was fully activated.

She could clearly "see" that the fifth floor of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was emanating a faint attraction, as if it were yearning for something.

"With just a suitable soul ring, the abilities of the fifth level can be fully awakened..." Ning Rongrong suddenly realized.

The third energy source is the most peculiar.

It didn't directly enhance her soul power or soul rings, but rather merged into the depths of her soul.

Images flashed through her mind—the methods of using the "Glassy Divine Light" talent.

She saw herself on the battlefield, with the Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda floating in the air, its nine-colored light shining down on her allies.

Suddenly, a halo of holy light burst forth from the top of the tower. All friendly units enveloped in the light experienced an instant surge in their buffs, with speed, strength, and defense all increasing by a full 50%, and the duration of these buffs doubling.

"Divine Light Shines... 30% chance to trigger..."

Ning Rongrong was deeply shocked. This talent seemed simple, but in actual combat, especially on large battlefields, a single trigger of "Divine Light" was enough to turn the tide of a local battle.

She could almost picture herself standing behind the Soul Master Legion, with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda hanging high, triggering divine light time and time again, allowing the entire legion's combat power to erupt at crucial moments.

The fourth energy is the most mysterious.

This is the mystery of the field.

Information about the nascent Nine Treasures Domain flowed into her consciousness like a gentle stream.

A domain is a power that only titled Douluo-level experts can reach. A few exceptionally talented Soul Douluos might be able to awaken it ahead of time, but to possess a domain at the Soul King stage... is extremely rare in the entire history of Soul Masters.

Ning Rongrong could "see" a spherical field with a radius of ten meters unfolding around her.

Within the domain, nine-colored light flowed, and all friendly units within it received a boost to all attributes, a surge in soul power recovery speed, and a significant increase in resistance to negative status effects.

Even more amazingly, the domain comes with a "glass purification" effect, which can slowly dispel negative states such as toxins, curses, and weakness.

This means that within her domain, the weakening effects of enemy soul skills will be greatly reduced.

The ultimate ability of the domain, "Nine Treasures Divine Radiance," made her heart race even faster.

Consumes all soul power to temporarily increase all attributes of all friendly units within the area by 100% for ten seconds.

What is this concept?
Within ten seconds, an ordinary Soul Master legion can unleash combat power comparable to an elite legion; within ten seconds, a Title Douluo might be able to temporarily contend with a Super Douluo; within ten seconds, a stalemate in battle could be decided in an instant.

Although the domain will be temporarily closed after use and will take twelve hours to recover, it is definitely a trump card that can turn the tide of battle.

"Is this... the power of a domain?"

Ning Rongrong murmured to herself, a strong desire welling up in her heart—she wanted to master this power as soon as possible, and wanted the Nine Treasures Domain to truly shine.

Once all the energy had been poured in, the nine-colored pillar of light began to slowly recede, eventually turning into specks of light dust and dissipating into the world.
