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

Chapter 88 The Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring of the First Martial Soul

Chapter 88 The Million-Year Soul Ring of the First Martial Soul

Looking at the struggling little Gretchen, Lang Lei couldn't help but sigh that she didn't know how lucky she was...

If he could, Lang Lei would just want to shout: Let go of little Gretchen, come at me!

As if noticing Lang Lei's gaze, Alicia released little Gretchen and said teasingly, "If Xiao Du likes it, I might as well give Xiao Du a hug~"

"Aunt Alicia, you're bad!"

Alicia paused for a moment after hearing the nickname "little Gretchen," then looked at Langley with a resentful gaze.

Lang Lei pretended not to know and looked at Xuan Bing and Li Huo.

It's obvious who instigated it.

"Oh dear, the first thing Greta said to me was that she was mean? Waaaaah~ I'm so sad."

"However, from now on, I'll still call her Alicia-neechan~"

"For a beautiful young girl, being called 'auntie' is really hurtful~"

"Okay, Sister Alicia." Having achieved her goal, Little Gretsch stopped addressing her that way.

She remembered that her brother Lang Lei had said that after meeting Alicia, she should call her Aunt Alicia...

"I don't see any sadness on your face at all," Lang Lei couldn't help but complain. "And you've changed your nickname 'Little Greta' so decisively..."

Lang Lei was initially tempted to indulge in a bit of mischievous fun.

"Hehe, what's the big deal?" Alicia opened her arms again. "How about it, little one, want a hug?"

"Ahem, I think I'll pass." Lang Lei awkwardly touched his nose.

"Little Du is shy, so cute~"

"..."

"Oh, there's a cute little sister and two beautiful girls here! Sorry I didn't have time to say anything earlier~"

"Hello... I'm Na'er..." Na'er said sweetly, making Alicia's eyes light up.

"Hello, little Na'er, let me give you a hug!"

Nar was embraced by Alicia with almost no resistance. As expected of the leader of the Lesbian community in Paradise, she was terrifying!

"Xiao Du, aren't you going to introduce these two...beautiful girls to me?" When Alicia saw Li Huo and Xuan Bing, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Lang Lei with a smile.

"This is Xuanbing (mysterious ice), and this is Li Huo (fiery fire)," Lang Lei pointed to each of them for Alicia.

"What a perfunctory answer!" Alicia puffed out her cheeks; this was not the answer she wanted.

"Alright, alright..." Lang Lei surrendered, raising his hands. "They are familiars I acquired by chance. Their strength is roughly equivalent to Emperor-level Honkai Beasts. They possess the ability to control ice and fire elements. Strictly speaking, they should also be considered a different kind of companion Honkai Beast, right?"

"That's more like it~" Alicia put Nar down, came over and tapped Langley's shoulder, "You have to be patient with girls~"

"I understand." Lang Lei sighed, genuinely unable to handle it.

"Didn't Xiao Du say he had something to do?" Alicia blinked and suddenly said, "It's been so long, and Xiao Du still seems so relaxed~"

Lang Lei broke out in a cold sweat all at once.

He wasn't in a hurry to absorb a spirit ring; he was just using it as an excuse to avoid Alicia's "attack." But as soon as he entered the house, he immediately forgot about it...

If other Soul Masters on Douluo Continent found out, they would probably curse Lang Lei again.

When it's time for others to absorb spirit rings, they can't wait to fly to the Star Dou Great Forest, but you almost forgot?

Lang Lei's mind raced; this was probably the fastest he had ever thought in all the years he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent.

"Because Ellie is the most important, of course I have to introduce you to them first." Suddenly, Lang Lei had a flash of inspiration and switched from defense to offense, hitting a straight shot.

This startled Alicia, and her pretty face flushed almost imperceptibly for a moment.

"Oh dear, that's so direct, I get shy too~" Alicia chuckled. "But, you passed this time, I really like it~"

Lang Lei wiped away his sweat, relieved that he had finally gotten through it.

"Ellie, I need to absorb a spirit ring in a bit. If you have any questions, you can ask Little Gresh first. Little Gresh knows most of my situation," Lang Lei instructed.

"Hey—, didn't Xiao Du just say I was the most important one?"

"I'll get angry if you deceive a beautiful girl~"

"..."

Oh no, my rank isn't high enough, I got crushed.

"Hmm~ Just kidding, Xiao Du, go ahead and get busy. Why would I be angry with you?"

"Okay, sure."

Lang Lei walked from the bedroom to the sofa outside and sat cross-legged on it.

It has to be said that the house has become much more lively since Alicia arrived.

Every now and then, Lang Lei could hear laughter and playful noises coming from the bedroom.

"Shouldn't I find a place to settle down?" Lang Lei thought to himself. This was a question he had never considered, nor dared to consider, when he was alone.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I don't lack gold soul coins right now." Lang Lei shook his head. According to his plan, he was about to leave Soto City, and unless something else happened, he probably wouldn't come back. Buying a house here would be basically useless.

He certainly doesn't lack that little bit, but being stupid and having a lot of money are two different things...

"System, activate the [Adaptive Soul Ring]!"

"Ding, used."

As a beam of light appeared, a transparent outline of a spirit ring was placed on Lang Lei's body.

Lang Lei began absorbing the nutrients with ease, and the process was very smooth.

The color of the spirit ring changed almost every second for the first few seconds, and only began to slow down when it turned red.

Ripples spread out around Lang Lei, then quickly receded, a rather peculiar phenomenon.

To Lang Lei's surprise, the Heavenly Fire Judgment did not come out to compete with him for the soul ring energy this time. Could it be that it no longer cared about such a small amount?

Alas, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality...

Ultimately, without much external assistance, Lang Lei successfully pushed the age of his spirit ring to the million-year level...

The dazzling golden light illuminated the entire room, and also the face of Alicia, who had come out of curiosity to watch Lang Lei absorb the spirit ring.

"It's so beautiful..."

One million years...

One million five hundred thousand years...

……

1.2 million years...

1.39 million years...

……

1.5 million years!

Ultimately, the lifespan of the spirit ring was capped at 1.5 million years.

And Lang Lei's first martial soul configuration has also become:

Black, black, red, red, gold...

Correspondingly, Lang Lei's soul power level also began to soar—
