Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 21 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring

"It's about to begin..." Lang Lei took out his adaptive spirit ring, preparing to begin absorbing his third spirit ring.

After a few days of reflection, his level finally broke through the level 29 barrier and reached level 30.

Many people with poor talent are stuck at this level their whole lives.

"Don't worry, Brother Lang Lei, Gresh won't let anyone get close!" Gresh skillfully summoned several World-Painting Creatures to surround Lang Lei.

"Yes, thank you, little Gretchen~" Lang Lei smiled knowingly and ruffled little Gretchen's hair.

Then, he calmed down and began absorbing the third spirit ring.

He was determined to make a good effort this time and obtain a 100,000-year soul ring directly!

This is not just empty talk, after all, even if his second spirit ring did not have its age increased, it is still a black spirit ring with a lifespan of 90,000 years.

Now that it's so much stronger, a third spirit ring that takes 100,000 years isn't too much to ask, is it?

What? You're saying I opened it?

It's never been turned off!

As the adaptive spirit rings fluctuated, their age increased rapidly, and the three colors of white, yellow, and purple flashed by in the blink of an eye.

Currently, the spirit rings are continuously striving upwards at the ten-thousand-year stage.

a thousand years……

Twenty thousand years...

……

Fifty thousand years...

Sixty thousand years...

……

Ninety thousand years...

Gradually, a hint of red appeared on the spirit ring, and the rate at which the spirit ring's age increased also slowed down significantly.

At this moment, streaks of lightning shot out from the Eye of God hanging at Lang Lei's waist, and arcs of electricity continuously danced across Lang Lei's body, making him look as domineering as a monarch of thunder.

As if breaking through some kind of constraint, the spirit ring turned into a bright red color in an instant, at a speed different from before, exuding a terrifying pressure.

A solemn expression settled on Lang Lei's usually calm face.

Finally, after a period of struggle, the absorption of the spirit ring gradually came to an end.

Under Gretchen's tense gaze, Langley, who had been breathing rapidly, gradually calmed down.

Shortly after, Lang Lei opened his eyes.

"Level 33..." Lang Lei opened his eyes, somewhat bewildered, and exclaimed, "Just how much soul power did the Heavenly Fire Judgment take this time?"

"puff--"

"A 150,000-year-old spirit ring directly absorbed 90,000 years of spirit power?!" Lang Lei's lips twitched. The Heavenly Fire Judgment was truly ruthless, taking away more years of spirit power than it had helped Lang Lei absorb.

If it weren't for the fact that even if the soul power disappears, the soul ring's age wouldn't change, Lang Lei would definitely have tried to reason with his second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment.

The 100,000-year soul ring unsurprisingly granted two soul skills, but strangely, one of them was a passive skill.

The active skill is called Soul-Eating Dust. When activated, it can add the Soul-Eating effect to Earth Dragon Dust. Enemies that come into contact with it will have their soul power continuously devoured. When the enemy's soul power is exhausted, Earth Dragon Dust will instantly detonate the absorbed soul power, causing large-scale damage.

Of course, Lang Lei himself could also choose to detonate it ahead of time.

The key to this thing is that it is almost ubiquitous and consumes very little energy, but it would consume a lot of energy if the enemy wanted to deal with it.

After all, the Soul-Eroding Dust can corrode all energy objects, and Martial Souls are one of them. Activating Martial Soul or Activating Shield to block is basically useless.

The passive skill is called "Difficult to Move an Inch," which has no cost. As long as Lang Lei activates his first martial soul, this passive skill will automatically take effect.

Its effect is to increase the gravity of all enemy units by 3 times in areas shrouded by earth dragon dust.

It's not particularly strong, but it's not weak either, considering it consumes no resources. Moreover, Lang Lei seems to feel that this soul skill can continue to grow...

The first soul ring of his second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, has been condensed for nearly 70 years. Lang Lei is now increasingly looking forward to the effects of the soul skill of this martial soul that has absorbed so much of his soul power.

Of course, unsurprisingly, Lang Lei's physical attributes improved significantly. According to Lang Lei's own estimation, he was now at the level of a level 89 power-attack type Soul Douluo, and could even compete with the bodies of some Title Douluos.

Of course, this is just his speculation, but it should be pretty close to the truth.

"Brother Lang Lei..." Little Gresh, who was standing to the side, put away the World-Painting Creation and made a sound.

"Oh, little Gretchen, I'm so sorry, I was thinking about something and shouldn't have ignored you." Lang Lei quickly picked up little Gretchen.

A smile instantly appeared on Greta's face.

"Speaking of which, some forces on the mainland should have already noticed me, right?" Lang Lei wondered to himself, holding the sweet and soft little Gretchen.

Lang Lei's guess was indeed accurate...

Spirit Hall —

The current Pope, Bibidon, sat on the throne in the Papal Palace, looking at a stack of documents in her hand.

A fleeting hint of emotion occasionally crossed her exquisitely beautiful face.

But Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were kneeling with their heads bowed, had neither the mood nor the courage to look up and appreciate such a beautiful sight.

"Have you found out the background of this young Soul Master?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked.

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness. This person seems to have appeared out of nowhere, without any clues..." Chrysanthemum Douluo said tremblingly, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

This isn't Chrysanthemum Douluo's fault. If Lang Lei were still the same as before, it might not have been so troublesome to investigate.

But the Lang Lei of today is completely different from the Lang Lei who was abandoned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

At that time, Lang Lei was just a useless person with a weak martial soul and low soul power, and he was not even as tall as Gretchen.

Now, Lang Lei is powerful, elegant, and his height and appearance are not much different from those of an adult.

It's really hard to connect these two people.

"Report, a scout says that this person had contact with people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy outside the Star Dou Great Forest, but they separated quickly. We don't know..." Ghost Douluo hesitated before continuing.

"I understand, you can go now." Bibi Dong nodded and waved for the two to leave.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and after saying their farewells, they left the Papal Palace directly.

"Level 29, without activating his martial soul, without using his hands, defeating seven Soul Masters single-handedly...?"

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School —

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, look!"

Inside the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi pulled out the top document from a stack of papers.

These materials were collected by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's branches in various places, and are information on geniuses from all sides who currently have no power.

The geniuses who could be personally examined by Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, were all one in ten thousand. Most of them had innate soul power of level seven or above, and there were even quite a few at level eight or nine.

As for innate full soul power...

Such geniuses are few and far between across the entire continent. Even the Spirit Hall, which is known for its large number of spirit masters, has only a handful of young spirit masters with innate full spirit power in recent years.

Among these documents, there is one person who is extremely special.

The information does not provide a precise age, only suggesting that it is between 11 and 14.

There is no specific information about the martial soul, only that it is said to be related to soil or daggers from some independent soul masters.

However, they do have a name and soul power, as well as their glorious deeds in the Soto Great Soul Arena.

Even disregarding his achievements and record, just considering that he was 29 at the age of fourteen, he could be considered a little genius.

If they knew that Lang Lei was only seven years old, the entire continent would probably go crazy.

However, what truly shocked Sword Douluo and Ghost Douluo was the opponent's combat talent, which far exceeded their level.

Fighting multiple opponents simultaneously, even those far above their level, without even activating their Martial Soul.

That passive card will be used a little later... You can look forward to its passive effect ^ω^
