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

Chapter 32 The Soul Ring Project

Sunset Forest has been extremely turbulent lately, as a Title Douluo is torturing soul beasts in an attempt to obtain soul bones.

However, the probability of a soul beast having a soul bone is indeed too small.

Dugu Bo glanced once more at the mandala snake in front of him, which had been tortured beyond recognition. Then, his soul power surged and struck its vital point, causing a black soul ring to rise.

After carefully examining the corpse, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face; there was still no soul bone present.

They had no choice but to continue searching for the next soul beast. With Dugu Bo's strength as a Title Douluo, there was no danger in this Sunset Forest.

However, after several days, there has still been no progress.

Dugu Bo, who was searching for his next target, suddenly sensed something.

The aura of a Soul Saint? Or perhaps a Flying Soul Master?

Thinking of something, Dugu Bo immediately flew over there.

In the distance, a flying soul master with a martial soul possessing two yellow, two purple, and three black markings on his body is chasing a fiery red bird-like soul beast.

Hmm? A fire-attribute soul beast that's less than two thousand years old, and this fire-attribute soul beast is quite strong.

Dugu Bo thought of his stolen herb garden, and realized that anyone who could overcome his poison barrier to enter it was likely a flying soul master.

Just as Dugu Bo was about to approach, his heart suddenly trembled inexplicably!

Danger!

Dugu Bo broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes involuntarily turning to a certain spot, his heart pounding with alarm.

A burly man, dressed in a tattered black linen robe that covered his entire body, silently watched himself from a tree.

This inexplicable suppressive force and the opponent's terrifying aura!

Dugu Bo looked extremely embarrassed.

Title Douluo!

Moreover, he was an extremely powerful Title Douluo.

The sheer presence of this man was several times more imposing than that chrysanthemum from the Spirit Hall.

Who is this person?!

Dugu Bo looked warily at the person in front of him, who was definitely above the Super Douluo level and whom he did not recognize.

Moreover, they shouldn't be from the Spirit Hall, but we can't be careless. Instantly, he activated his Spirit Possession, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor appeared behind Dugu Bo, with nine spirit rings emerging.

Tang Hao looked at the Title Douluo in front of him and felt quite frustrated.

Tang San, as one of the Shrek Seven Devils, and several of his fellow students who had broken through to level 30, naturally followed along to Sunset Forest to hunt for souls.

That fire-attribute soul beast was indeed suitable for the fat guy with the mutated phoenix martial soul, but unexpectedly, this soul beast had a remarkable flying ability and actually escaped the hunting of several students.

This prompted Flander, the flying Soul Master, to take action. However, Tang Hao hadn't expected that there would be a Title Douluo in the Sunset Forest, and Flander's actions even caught his attention.

It wasn't a big deal to attract his attention, but Xiao Wu was among those people, and it would be dangerous to let him pass.

The matter of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast is of great importance, so Tang Hao often pays attention to it and has specifically told Flander that if Xiao Wu does not want to go to the Great Soul Arena, she should not be forced.

There are quite a few Soul Douluos in the Heavenly Battle Imperial City; perhaps they can see through his transformed Soul Beast identity.

Xiao Wu became much more restrained after arriving in Tian Dou Huang City. Previously, the grandfather of a student who had been pursuing her was a Soul Douluo.

Although this person gave up pursuing Xiao Wu after losing to Tang San, his grandfather's strength as a Soul Douluo intimidated Xiao Wu, so she stopped causing trouble.

Tang Hao was quite easy to deal with this Soul Douluo, and he was relieved to see that Xiao Wu was no longer causing trouble.

The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone has been taken by someone else, and the Blue Silver Grass that Ah Yin transformed into has also disappeared.

Now, all that's left is her son, Tang San, and she absolutely cannot let anything happen to him, so she stays with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

I'm also somewhat glad I came along, otherwise they would have been in big trouble this time with the Soul Hunt.

The allure of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast is simply too great; even a Title Douluo cannot resist its temptation.

Although a titled Douluo cannot absorb its spirit ring, he can at least obtain a 100,000-year spirit bone.

If one were to be even more greedy and raise it, one could even cultivate a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring.

Tang Hao was well aware of how much a 100,000-year spirit ring could enhance a spirit master.

Seeing the other party's wary reaction, Tang Hao abandoned his plan to attack.

Although he was very strong, he could not kill the titled Douluo in one blow. Since speed was not his strong point and he was seriously injured, he might not be able to stop him.

Moreover, Tang Hao recognized the person's identity—Poison Douluo—by looking at their martial soul.

If we cannot stop them, their retaliation will be terrifying.

"Who are you?" Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had no intention of making a move.

Tang Hao didn't say much. He clenched his right hand, and a blood-red Haotian Hammer appeared in his hand, making the surrounding air seem thick.

"The Clear Sky Hammer! You are Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened slightly. Although he had never met Tang Hao, he still knew about the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit on the continent.

Moreover, after the Haotian Sect went into seclusion, Tang Hao was the only Haotian Sect member remaining outside the sect.

This guy is a formidable figure who killed the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall; I wouldn't last more than a few moves against him.

What was the purpose of this Haotian Douluo stopping him? Dugu Bo looked at Flander, who had already captured the thousand-year-old soul beast in the distance.

"I have people over there," Tang Hao said in a low voice.

"I see! I'll leave now." Dugu Bo realized that there were indeed several low-level Soul Masters over there, and it seemed that they were hunting for Soul Rings for them.

Since he's Haotian Douluo's man, I shouldn't cause trouble.

This person can exert so much pressure on me even without releasing his spirit rings; he truly deserves to be called Haotian Douluo!

Dugu Bo said no more and flew directly into the distance.

Watching Dugu Bo leave, Tang Hao finally put away the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

Looking at the black spirit ring and the mandala snake that didn't resemble a snake, in the direction it came from.

Is this Poison Douluo torturing soul beasts to obtain their soul bones?

Watching Dugu Bo disappear into the distance, Tang Hao's figure also vanished instantly.

Flander, who was holding the red firebird, was also terrified when he landed on the ground.

He saw Dugu Bo's nine spirit rings; were they from that Poison Douluo?

It was originally flying in my direction, but it seemed to have talked to someone for a while, and then left.

Is that man Tang San's father?

Flander glanced at Tang San beside him and thought.

"Hongjun, let's do it. This soul beast has a remarkable ability to fly. If you absorb its soul ring, you might gain the ability to fly." Flander breathed a slight sigh of relief and threw the half-dead soul beast in front of Ma Hongjun.

"Great!" Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The flying martial souls in Douluo Continent are a bit strange; some can fly directly, while others require soul skills to fly.

Ma Hongjun's martial soul is a mutated fire phoenix, which is unable to fly.

"Rongrong, what attribute do you plan to amplify with your third spirit ring?" Flander asked Ning Rongrong after watching Ma Hongjun kill the spirit beast and begin absorbing the spirit ring.

"Soul power amplification," Ning Rongrong said. The amplification of the seven attributes in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the same; only the order in which they are acquired can be different.

"That's good, but we need to look carefully for such a soul beast." The Shrek Seven Devils are a bit low-level, and they don't have much time left if they want to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition.

At that time, the soul power level of the group will not be too high, and the soul power amplification can narrow the gap in soul power.

Flander did not tell everyone about the appearance of a Title Douluo, especially the Poison Douluo they had met before. He greeted Zhao Wuji and then sat down to protect him.

These students have such strong backgrounds; we can't afford to make any mistakes.

……

Ding Quan suppressed the consumption of his soul power and, feeling his strength growing stronger, directly shattered the ice that had formed on his body.

At the same time, he struck down a bolt of lightning that shot towards him with a palm.

Bang!

Lightning flashed wildly, instantly destroying everything around it.

Ding Quan slowly withdrew his hand, which was covered in soul power, and his body was also covered in a layer of soul power.

Feeling a slight numbness in his palms, he realized that his physical condition had indeed improved dramatically after absorbing the immortal herb.

Previously, he needed to use his first soul skill to dispel the negative effects of Vera's lightning on him, but now it has little impact on him.

The Dragon Abyss Sword swept across again, directly severing the ice spike that Ling had shot out as the lightning explosion produced light.

I felt a brief pause in my mental state, but it quickly returned to normal.

The latest novel is first published here!

The effects of Ice Soul are indeed very strong.

Ling was not surprised to see this scene. After several days of actual combat, he needed to release his mental energy to resist the aura released by Ding Quan.

Moreover, Ding Quan's perception of his surroundings was too strong in this state, and he could detect any attack he launched immediately.

Ding Quan forcefully knocked Wei'er back with his left hand and immediately dodged away. An ice pillar instantly rose from where Ding Quan had left, almost freezing him.

Once frozen, some of Ding Quan's soul power will be melted away, requiring him to release more soul power to resist. Moreover, the effect of Ling's third soul skill is also hidden within this.

Ling looked at Ding Quan's actions and understood the meaning behind the golden-red glint in his eyes.

Not only did they see through the ice spikes that were being shot, but they also knew about the operation of their own soul power.

Just as Ding Quan steadied himself, a golden figure appeared in front of him in an instant, and a palm crackling with electricity was about to strike him.

Just as he was about to raise his sword to strike, he immediately withdrew it and grabbed the hand that was attacking him.

"Alright, my soul power is almost exhausted!" Ding Quan greeted the two, and they immediately stopped fighting.

Ding Quan's second spirit ring stopped lighting up and then returned to its original state.

"Quan, how was it this time?" Wei'er also put away her martial spirit.

"My soul power consumption can last for about half an hour now, and the increase has reached over 40%!"

Ding Quan was testing the limits of his second soul skill. With the soul skill itself being amplified by 40% under the effect of his innate semi-martial soul true body, the amplification of this soul skill to himself reached 80%.

Although this increase wasn't achieved instantly, it was still absolutely astonishing.

Such a powerful amplification effect was only brought about by his second soul skill. Ding Quan felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that the soul rings he would acquire in the future would have to be obtained from powerful soul beasts, so that the soul skill effects they provided would be stronger.

Ding Quan also realized that this increase was due to his strong physical condition; otherwise, his body would definitely be the first to give out.

Most importantly, when the increase reaches a certain level, the required soul power increases exponentially.

The final boost required dozens of times more soul power than the initial boost.

But that makes sense; when anything is close to its limit, it becomes extremely difficult to improve it even a little bit further.

"It's so tall, no wonder I was powerless to fight back in the end."

As Wei'er watched Ding Quan grab her hand, she realized that while she initially had the advantage in speed, Ding Quan's speed and strength eventually overwhelmed her.

Ding Quan and his group's foundation far surpassed that of other Soul Masters of the same level, and with such an exceptionally strong foundation, even a slight increase in power would bring about a huge difference.

"Add to that Quan's current perception and mental attack methods, and perhaps even the weaker Soul Kings wouldn't be a match for him." Ling thought of the artificial hill in the courtyard, whose attack power already surpassed that of a Soul Sect.

Even a Soul King might not have that much attack power.

"However, our strength is still somewhat insufficient, after all, our next spirit ring is going to be a bit difficult." Ding Quan took a breath and put away his spirit sword, Dragon Abyss.

"But Quan, do we really need to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for our next spirit ring?" Wei'er was also extremely surprised when she heard Ding Quan say that the fourth spirit ring would require ten thousand years.

"Our current spirit ring age has already exceeded that of most spirit masters, so the next spirit ring can only be ten thousand years."

"Too!"

"However, if it is a top-tier soul beast, then it does not necessarily need a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Just like Ding Quan's second soul ring, although it was a hundred-year soul ring, the bloodline of that soul beast was strong enough, and the soul skills it provided exceeded those of many thousand-year soul rings.

Ding Quan places the most importance on the fourth spirit ring, as he intends to acquire the metal attribute for it.

Since the Dragon Abyss Sword, the spirit of the sword, is inherently of the metal element, this spirit ring can be said to have the greatest impact on the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Therefore, this spirit ring must be handled with extreme care. Among the spirit beasts with the metal attribute in the Douluo Continent, Ding Quan only remembers one.

The Earth Ripper, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, is one of the most powerful and ultimate soul beasts.

A true super soul beast.

The fourth spirit ring they needed had a very high age limit, and such a high-age Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was definitely not something they could handle.

These kinds of soul beasts are rare in the Star Dou Great Forest, and they are almost impossible to find on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest; one can only find them by venturing deep into the mixed zone.

However, entering the mixed zone was indeed too dangerous, and their strength was somewhat insufficient.

This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is indeed extremely suitable for me, its terrifying damage is unmatched among its peers.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, such super soul beasts have an extremely high probability of becoming 100,000-year soul beasts; almost all Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears possess soul bones.

They are basically the most powerful claws, which makes them even rarer.

This is not one of the traditional six major soul bones, but rather an external soul bone.

It seems that no Soul Masters have emerged in this era to hunt such Soul Beasts. Considering that it can contend with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in just a few hundred years, judging from its apparent age, it can only wait to die.

The external soul bones they produce also have extremely strong attributes. The absorber must have strong mental strength and physical qualities to suppress the powerful bloodline power within the soul bone, otherwise it is impossible to absorb it.

If it were a spirit ring produced by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, even Ding Quan, who had just entered the Thousand Years Realm, would be willing to make it his fourth spirit ring.

It's just hard to find. We'll have to look for it in the Starry Sky Forest. It'll just take a little more time.

As for how to hunt it, we can't do it with our current strength, so we'll have to use tools.

Ding Quan thought of the immortal herb on his body; few soul beasts could withstand the toxins it produced.

After breaking through to the Soul Venerable level, it takes much longer to advance to the next level. At the current cultivation speed, it will take quite a while.

Furthermore, Ding Quan has been experimenting with fusing his physical and mental attacks these past few days, and it has indeed enhanced his offensive power.

I don't know if this is a battle technique from ten thousand years in the future that will reign supreme, but I think I still have a lot of room for improvement.

Continue cultivating. You can start inquiring about powerful metal-attribute soul beasts and soul beasts suitable for Ling Wei and her companion. Inquiring about them after breaking through level 40 would be a waste of time.
