Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 4: Within power lies the greatest freedom in the world.

"No, not necessarily!"

But the next moment, You Chen caught his breath and looked at the "first soul ring" reward with a thoughtful expression.

You Chen considered two other possibilities besides the fact that the reward was a useless item.

Firstly, this spirit ring will replace his first spirit ring.

Secondly, this spirit ring will be superimposed on his original first spirit ring, and after the age limit is added, a new spirit ring will be formed.

Thinking of this possibility, You Chen became excited. After waking Ye Han up and safely returning him, he went back to his residence in Wuhun City.

When his mind touched the soul ring in his inventory, his eyes lit up.

There's a response!

You Chen was incredibly excited, and as he pondered, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on his face.

You Chen is no longer the novice with only a superficial understanding of martial spirit theory he was twenty-three years ago.

Logically speaking, a Soul Master can only absorb a Soul Ring when they are at a bottleneck and have not yet absorbed one.

Otherwise, it would be completely impossible to attract a spirit ring, let alone absorb it.

Even the exceptional twin martial souls only have reserved positions for soul rings in order to attract them.

This is the rule of this world!

However, at this very moment, a "Use?" prompt appeared above the Soul Ring in the inventory...

You Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

Whether it's a bug caused by the system being late, or something else, does this mean, as You Chen guessed, that the system's rules are higher than those of the Douluo World?

"No, it's too early to be happy."

You Chen calmed down. It was just a possibility.

If the system's rules are truly higher than those of the Douluo World, it might indeed be able to forcibly absorb this spirit ring.

But even if you cross this first threshold, how could there be no risk in absorbing this first spirit ring when you already have one?

Putting aside the two possibilities that You Chen was hoping for, even if he couldn't absorb the spirit ring after trying to attract it and the spirit ring popped out of his body and failed, it would still be a relatively good outcome.

Who knows, he might have died from a soul ring conflict causing his body to explode?

This is very likely to happen!

Although he claimed to want to leave the Spirit Hall and live in seclusion, You Chen was by no means a law-abiding person.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that You Chen possesses a strong ambition!

Otherwise, even if they knew that Yu Xiaogang was all show and no substance, why would they risk offending Bibi Dong to expose him?

Becoming a Soul Master is enough for him to enjoy life!

People have no worries about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, but in the world of Douluo, these needs do not reflect the differences between people.

Or perhaps it's more direct to talk about female beauty.

The so-called class beauties and school beauties are only one in a hundred, one in a thousand, or at most one in ten thousand.

In the entire Douluo Continent, with hundreds of millions of people, there are only around 100,000 Soul Masters! Every Soul Master is one in thousands.

Basically, it can be understood that if you transmigrate to Douluo Continent and have the talent to break through level 10 and become a Soul Master, you are basically guaranteed a superior status.

Every male Soul Master, no matter how unattractive he may be, and disliked by female Soul Masters, is highly sought after by ordinary people.

Don't you see, Ma Hongjun's looks, physique, and personality still attract ordinary girls?

In Douluo Continent fanfiction, transmigrators don't need to work very hard; with just a little bit of insight, they can win the favor of school beauties who were unattainable in their previous lives.

Those goddesses who used to be rejected even if they tried to lick their boots are now even fawning over them.

In the past, they could only watch as the prettiest girls in their class and school were easily taken by men from who-knows-where, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They would stubbornly say that these men were just handsome, had a little money, and were smooth talkers, but in reality, they were all scumbags who changed women like clothes. Meanwhile, these pure and good men could only silently wipe their tears in their eyes.

But now they can easily become the "scumbags" that they used to envy.

It wasn't because of how hard they worked, but simply because they awakened their martial spirit and possessed innate soul power.

Furthermore, it's extremely easy for Soul Masters to accumulate wealth compared to ordinary people. Every single one of these fanfiction protagonists, even if they don't follow the paths depicted in the fanfiction after transmigrating, would still be considered winners in life compared to before their transmigration.

You Chen was of average appearance, but after the age of nine, he was already considered a true child prodigy in the eyes of others. He broke through to the Great Soul Master level at the age of 15 and possessed the second ring of a thousand-year-old soul, making him unparalleled for his time.

What I was meant to experience, and what I was able to experience, I naturally experienced when the time was right.

After all, he was just an ordinary worker in the past, completely detached from things like love and procreation. Now that he has finally transmigrated into a superior being, he can't possibly stick to the old ways and be a virtuous man like Liu Xiahui, can he?

However, after being fawned over and flattered by the beauties he used to envy, You Chen quickly came to his senses.

He even resonated with the old men in the temple who had remained single their entire lives.

What good is a beautiful ordinary woman, no matter how pretty? When she's with Soul Masters, she's inherently inferior. Without spiritual equality, there's no way to call it a true romance.

Most Soul Masters reproduce by intercourse with other Soul Masters, not only to produce offspring, but also because only Soul Masters of similar strength can coexist on an equal footing.

Love without emotional ties, based solely on lust, is a false love destined to be short-lived.

Therefore, these titled Douluo of the Hall of Worship often remain single because they cannot meet the right person at their respective ages, and begin to pursue the sublimation of their individual great power.

Perhaps You Chen is essentially that kind of person too.

He didn't indulge in romance for long before quickly turning his attention back to breaking through his own limits and overcoming the constraints of his original talent.

In his previous life, he lacked access and opportunities, and despite his efforts, he remained just a large-scale corporate slave. But in this life, the opportunity to seize his destiny is in his own hands, so he naturally tries his best to grasp that opportunity!

He believed that the greatest freedom in the world lay in power.

Even ambitious people mostly just use what they have to fight and gamble.

To risk one's entire fortune to invest or start a business requires more courage than 99% of people.

To gamble with one's own safety and life...

How could someone like that be without ambition or courage?

Even knowing he might displease that crazy old woman Bibi Dong, didn't he still go ahead and fight her that day?

Now, another chance to defy fate has presented itself. Will he give it up? Can he give it up?

No! Absolutely not!

He's already 35 years old! His vital energy is starting to decline! His cultivation speed is starting to slow down!

If he can absorb this adaptive spirit ring, he will directly break through to level 50. After absorbing the fifth spirit ring and two ten-thousand-year spirit rings, his martial spirit might be able to evolve again!

Evolve into an advanced martial soul!

With a high-level martial soul and two ten-thousand-year soul rings, he can definitely rival those six-ring Soul Emperors!

More importantly, the cultivation speed will be greatly increased, and there is definitely hope to break through to the Soul Saint level before the age of fifty!

Then there's hope of breaking through to the Title Douluo level and borrowing several hundred more years from the heavens!

"Martial Soul Possession!"

A blue dragon-shaped phantom clung to it.

Without further hesitation, You Chen used the soul ring.

A surge of immense soul power began to flow.
