Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Sword, has become its scabbard.

Chapter 26 Terrifying Enhancement

Ding Quan opened his eyes again. The Autumn Water Dew of the River of Oblivion he had absorbed earlier had not increased his soul power, but after absorbing the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, his soul power level reached level 30.

The specific level will only be known after obtaining the third soul ring.

Ding Quan gripped the Longyuan Sword, gazing at its deeper, darker patterns, and could clearly sense that the Longyuan Sword had become even more powerful.

With the sword sheath attached to him, his physical attributes were also greatly enhanced, with an improvement no less than that of absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Ding Quan is currently unsure how many years of soul rings he can absorb.

With a thought, the Dragon Abyss Sword disappeared from his hand, but Ding Quan felt that his strength had not decreased much.

It seems that my half-Martial Soul True Body state is about to become the normal state, and I will have extremely strong combat power even without releasing the Dragon Abyss Sword.

After checking Ling's condition again, Ding Quan noticed that she still hadn't finished absorbing the energy. However, he discovered that the ice and fire elements within her body seemed to be intertwined, and her martial spirit seemed to be released unconsciously.

The red stain that had appeared on the crystal-clear snow lotus when it absorbed the first soul ring began to spread, and a blazing heat appeared on the originally icy snow lotus martial soul.

Is this the martial soul evolving?

The attributes of these two immortal herbs far exceed Ling's attribute strength.

Feeling Ling's steady breathing and the rapid increase in her soul power, it seemed that her martial soul evolution this time would be very thorough.

It seems she will need quite some time to absorb the energy from the two immortal herbs.

He then picked up the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato next to him and looked at the dragon-scale-like patterns on it. Ding Quan's second soul ring came from a soul beast with the bloodline of a Suanni, which had the bloodline of a dragon.

He also had golden dragon patterns on his body, and this golden dragon sweet potato also belonged to the earth element.

Earth is the pivot of the Five Elements, possessing extremely strong bearing capacity, and the next soul ring will be from an earth-attribute soul beast.

Ding Quan nodded to Wei'er, who was standing silently to the side, and without hesitation, swallowed the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato.

Ding Quan felt his soul power become thicker, as if it had been tempered once again.

At the same time, I felt an energy flowing from my abdomen to my limbs and bones, but it didn't have a strong strengthening effect on my body, perhaps because my physical fitness is too high.

I could feel my blood flowing slower, and although my soul power had become thicker, it had become more sustained.

On Ding Quan's body, the golden dragon tattoo seemed to come alive, radiating golden light as it moved across his skin.

When Wei'er saw the golden light emanating from Ding Quan's body, her expression changed. Then, to her astonishment, a golden dragon began to swim from his body.

As the golden dragon tattoo appeared on Ding Quan's face, a faint sense of pressure emanated from him.

Dragon's Might?

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon looked like it had absorbed the aura of the dragon race to grow, and she knew that Ding Quan had a golden dragon tattoo on his body.

Half an hour later, the golden dragon tattoo went into hiding.

Although Ding Quan's appearance hasn't changed, his face has become more angular, making him seem more mature and composed.

The next day.

Ding Quan saw that the trees next to him were covered in ice, but they looked as if they had been burned, leaving a layer of white ash. This was caused by Ling using his martial soul ability.

After absorbing the two immortal herbs, Ice and Fire, Ling also grew quite a bit taller, reaching a height of over 1.75 meters, just like Wei'er.

Although their appearances hadn't changed much, they clearly exuded a youthful energy, and Ding Quan thought they looked even more beautiful.

Ding Quan was also somewhat surprised to see Ling's current martial spirit.

Although her martial soul, the Snow Lotus, had not changed much, Ding Quan sensed the extremely cold aura emanating from it with his greatly enhanced spiritual power.

What surprised Ding Quan even more was that although the petals of this snow lotus were pure white and crystal clear, they were all surrounded by a ring of crimson, making the entire snow lotus look like it was burning with flames, which made it seem somewhat illusory.

Ding Quan could sense a touch of heat amidst the extreme cold.

Looking at the damage caused by the ice controlled by his martial soul, after the ice dissipated, it actually left behind ashes that looked like they were burning.

The attributes of ice and fire have been combined?

"Quan, it seems that absorbing these two herbs, ice and fire, was the right thing to do."

After everyone had absorbed the immortal herbs and their martial souls had changed, they prepared to test the abilities of their martial souls.

"It seems you've gained a great deal, Ling, and this fire attribute?" Ling's martial soul has undoubtedly evolved, its attribute strength has become extremely strong, and it appears to have acquired the fire attribute.

Tang San only gained immunity to ice and fire and body tempering effects after absorbing these two immortal herbs, while Ling's martial soul evolved directly. Ling's Snow Lotus martial soul itself has ice attributes, which can be absorbed to enhance its own attributes.

It looks like it absorbed the powerful ice element from the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Judging from the burn marks, it must be the effect of the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

"Quan, you'll know once you try using your soul power." Ling's soul power surged, and an ice spike shot towards Ding Quan.

"This is!" Ding Quan grabbed the unpleasant ice spike and immediately felt an alternating sensation of extreme cold and extreme heat, which was extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if he was holding a red-hot block of ice, which was quite eerie.

At the same time, I felt a chill rise up, and my spirit was also affected!

This is Ling's first soul skill, Ice Soul. Its effect is to inject spiritual power into attacks, eroding the opponent's spirit and slowing down their reactions.

However, Ding Quan's mental strength is much higher than Ling's, especially after consuming the Forget-Cross Autumn Water Dew.

Feeling the effect of the ice spike in his hand, Ding Quan's soul power surged, enveloping it, and his expression instantly changed.

My soul power is actually dissolving!

Ding Quan increased his soul power.

"The ice I'm making now contains both extreme cold and extreme heat, which can erode other people's soul power," Ling said, seeing the shock on Ding Quan's face.

In the Douluo Continent, ice and fire attributes can coexist. Many soul beasts possess both attributes simultaneously, and even two opposing attributes can form a martial soul fusion skill.

"The interaction of ice and fire elements creates the ability to melt each other? But you now have fire attribute?"

"You could say that. Besides, my martial soul is the Snow Lotus, which is essentially ice-attribute. I only need to absorb ice-attribute soul rings," Ling said after seeing Ding Quan ponder for a moment.

"Is that so?" If it can dissolve the opponent's soul power, then the opponent's defense will be greatly reduced during a soul battle.

"My soul power has also reached level 30, and my physical strength has increased significantly."

Ding Quan could tell from Ling's soul power level that Ling had indeed absorbed the energy of the two immortal herbs, rather than simply using them to temper his body.

Ling inherited the powerful attributes of both immortal herbs.

In addition, although Ling's ice attribute has become extremely powerful, it has not reached its peak. Could it be due to the Fiery Apricot Blossom?

"Izumi, what about you? I've noticed a ring of gold-red around your eyes. Has it completely blended in?"

"Hmm, even if I don't use the Xuanhuo Pupil now, the effect is about the same as before when I used it, and it seems to enhance my mental strength even more." Ding Quan's pupils now have a ring of golden-red patterns, and he has not activated the external soul bone.

"It's probably because your strength has increased, and its lifespan has increased."

External soul bones can increase in age as the soul master's level increases. After consuming the Autumn Water Dew of Ten Thousand Rivers, its age should reach more than a thousand years.

"That's true. I'll test the Dragon Abyss Sword." Ding Quan clenched his right hand, and the Dragon Abyss Sword appeared in his hand.

The appearance remains unchanged, except that the ink patterns on the blade are deeper and the dark gold hilt is the same, making the Longyuan Sword look more substantial.

His spiritual power surged, and a sharp aura burst forth instantly, emanating a powerful pressure from Ding Quan.

Ling and Wei'er exchanged a glance. This aura seemed to be suppressing them, though not strongly.

Ding Quan felt his senses become exceptionally clear, and he could observe everything around him.

Gathering his soul power on the blade, Ding Quan watched the soul power erupting from the Dragon Abyss Sword, his eyes flickered, and he swung it forcefully towards the trees not far away.

The sword energy surged forth instantly, and the tree fell to the ground.

I looked at the broken tree with some surprise. It wasn't unexpected for the tree to fall, but it seemed a bit too easy.

It seems that the Dragon Abyss Sword's attack power has been greatly enhanced, and with the strengthening of his body, the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo is indeed suitable for him.

Now he's a little unsure about his own strength; this attack power has already surpassed that of the Soul Masters in the Great Soul Arena.

Although his soul power only increased by two levels, his strength had increased several times compared to before.

Thinking about the gains of the past year, he broke through level 20 at the age of nearly 12, broke through two levels by absorbing a soul ring of a higher level, increased four levels by absorbing a 100,000-year soul bone, cultivated for almost two levels, and directly reached level 30 after absorbing the immortal herb.

The latest novel is first published here!

According to normal cultivation, at almost thirteen years old, he is roughly a low-level Great Soul Master, and it will take him at least a few more years to become a Soul Venerable.

But now he is about to absorb his third spirit ring.

The specific level can only be determined after the third soul ring is absorbed.

Now that he has absorbed the immortal herb, his talent is no longer an obstacle on his path of cultivation.

At least before becoming a Super Douluo, there are no obstacles to cultivation.

After Super Douluo, comes the understanding of Martial Soul.

Of course, if one possesses twin martial souls, one can increase their soul power by quickly absorbing high-limit soul rings.

Among the three peerless Douluo of this era, Tang Chen relied on his understanding of martial souls to create the Haotian Nine Absolutes and the Exploding Ring Secret Technique, thus breaking through to level ninety-nine.

Under his leadership, the Haotian Sect eventually became the number one sect on the continent.

Ding Quan put aside his thoughts and decided to get used to his own strength before heading directly to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for souls.

……

Sunset Forest, the eye of ice and fire.

Dugu Bo looked at his herb garden with an uncertain gaze.

My house was burgled!

More than ten strangely shaped flowers and plants are gone.

What shocked him most was that the two Ice-Fire Grasses in the center of the spring had also been picked.

I didn't dare touch those two herbs easily.

Although he didn't know the specific effects of these herbs, he figured they were no ordinary things.

After all, among the flowers and plants that have disappeared, there was one of his mortal enemies' martial souls, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

A flower-shaped martial soul that can enable someone to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo must be extremely powerful.

Dugu Bo squeezed the letter in his hand.

Who is this guy who sent me all the way to Soto City? Did he just lure me away so he could come here and take those flowers and plants?

However, it was actually able to cross the poison array it had set up to get here. After checking around, there were no signs of anyone entering. Could it be a flying soul master?

It seemed there was little hope of finding that person. Dugu Bo looked at the letter in his hand again, hoping that the method described on it would be effective.

More than a month later.

After returning to Soto City and purchasing what they needed, Ding Quan and his companions headed to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Now that you're level 30, it's time to start thinking about spirit rings.

The group had already made plans regarding their soul skills.

As for the soul beasts they needed, Ding Quan and Wei'er already had their target soul beasts.

As for Ling, her martial soul is of the spirit and ice attributes, and it's really hard to find one that suits her in this Star Dou Great Forest.

There are very few ice-attribute soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. I'll see if I can find a suitable spirit-attribute one. If not, I'll go to the Frozen Forest later. So I plan to hunt a soul ring for her one last time.

For her third spirit ring, Wei'er should seek out the same Vajra Tiger as Dai Mubai. This spirit beast can provide amplified spirit skills for the White Tiger Martial Soul, and the spirit skills Wei'er obtains by hunting such a spirit beast should be similar.

This soul skill provides a huge boost and lasts for a long time. Wei'er has also absorbed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Although the Vajra Indestructible skill is quite exaggerated, it is suitable for this Vajra Tiger.

Ding Quan's target spirit beast was finally determined to be the Heavy Rock Xuan Turtle. This spirit beast is not large in size, but it is extremely heavy.

Its internal soul power is very strong, and it often absorbs energy from the soil without moving. Therefore, the tortoise shell is full of energy and is always covered with lush flowers and plants.

The immense soul power within the body does not immediately dissipate after death. Therefore, the corpse left behind becomes nourishment for the surrounding environment, growing in the soil and dissolving into it after death.

These kinds of soul beasts can be found in thousand-year-old soul beast areas. With their current strength, they are not in any danger in this gathering place of thousand-year-old soul beasts.

The Heavy Rock Tortoise is too heavy, so it has almost no speed. However, because it is a tortoise, its defense is amazing, and few people or soul beasts dare to mess with it.

After all, they were difficult to kill, but for Ding Quan, it was not a difficult task.

The group arrived at the area where the Rock Tortoises gathered. This area was still on the outskirts. Along the way, they saw several Rock Tortoises slowly crawling along, their bodies covered in flowers and grass.

However, the time limit is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Ding Quan consumed the Jade Bamboo, which enhances the resilience and strength of his martial soul. Furthermore, with the scabbard of Ding Quan's Dragon Abyss Sword attached to him, this immortal herb's improvement to his physical attributes is no less than absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Ding Quan himself possessed a 100,000-year-old soul bone and an external soul bone, giving him extremely strong physical attributes.

"That's it!"

Half a day later, Ding Quan looked at a giant rock tortoise with a shell more than five meters wide not far away.

Flames erupted from Xuanhuo's eyes. Although this Chongyan Xuan Turtle was not the oldest among them, it was the one with the thickest and largest soul power that Ding Quan had seen.

"Its shell is a little over five meters wide, and it's a little over five thousand years old," Vera said after taking a look and judging its age.

Under the cover of Linghun Power, the group approached the Heavy Rock Xuan Turtle, whose head and thighs were covered with a layer of skin like rock armor, resembling diamond.

The Mysterious Fire Eye can see through the soul power within a person or a soul beast.

This one was younger than the previous Rock Tortoises we encountered, but its soul power was significantly greater.

This Heavy Rock Black Tortoise must be one of the best in its kind, and its age is about the limit I estimated, so it's suitable for me.
