Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 502 Hmph~ I'm not envious at all.

"Well done, Yuanyi!"

Qian Renxue's fingers kept moving as she tightly wrapped her spider silk around Hydra's body. After several rounds of torment, this 220,000-year-old sea spirit beast was finally about to give up.

Their battlefield was very large, and under Qian Renxue's control, they gradually moved from the ice layer on the sea surface to the frozen soil.

"Atai!" Shen Yuanyi called out.

Atai reacted immediately. It raised its massive body and leaped into the air. In the instant of its descent, it applied the effect of gravity control to the area beneath it.

A violent crushing force, like Mount Tai pressing down, was inflicted upon Hydra.

Qian Renxue stared intently at the sea serpent. She played a controlling role in this battle, with tough threads intertwined around the Hydra's body, carrying a strong corrosive effect.

The threads even cut into the body of the corrupted soul beast.

Speaking of which, Qian Renxue has discovered a problem over the years: most of the Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent have a strange physical quality of high attack and low defense. Only some Soul Masters who focus on strength and defense have strong physiques.

What's even more outrageous is that some offensive Soul Masters have even abandoned their most important self-buffing Soul Skills, pursuing only offense and violent output.

However, in reality, regardless of the type of Soul Master, everyone should have some defensive capabilities. For example, Little Angel's first Soul Skill, Angel Assault, is a Soul Skill that combines offense and defense.

The Little Devil's defensive capabilities currently rely more on its divine equipment and soul bones, meaning it can practically do without much effort.

Her current soul skills do not yet offer any real defense.

However, she remembered her mother, Bibi Dong, who, as a control-type Soul Master, possessed not only the Thorn Spider Armor but also an immortal body. This single Soul Skill could actually overwhelm almost 99% of defenses.

The Hydra before us is a perfect example. Like most control-type Soul Masters, it possesses strong control abilities, even comparable to Tang San's prized Blue Silver Entanglement. However, its defenses were completely breached after being repeatedly attacked.

"Bang—bang—"

The eerie thunderous storm within Hydra's body emitted muffled sounds, as if lightning element was raging and surging within its blood and meridians. Shen Yuanyi firmly controlled the flow of lightning element.

Her eyes were enhanced by the Autumn Water Dew of the River of Oblivion. Although she had not cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, her mental power was sufficient to help her eyes see the flow of lightning elements.

"Miss, I'll take this guy. Is that alright?" Shen Yuanyi suddenly sent a telepathic message to Qian Renxue.

"This stinky snake is so ugly, you want its spirit ring? But aren't you still two levels away from becoming a Soul Saint? Although the seventh spirit ring won't affect your spirit skills, it's still better to choose one that matches your spirit." Qian Renxue pulled her spider silk, and Hydra instantly let out a scream that was indescribable to humans.

"No, it's my second test, which is to kill a Sea Douluo or a sea spirit beast that is over 100,000 years old. You've almost wiped out all the Sea Douluos."

"Understood, you can deliver the fatal blow then." Qian Renxue understood. She remembered that Ye Xishui's divine test also seemed to include a test where the teacher had to kill the Sea Douluo.

It seems that Shen Yuanyi's divine test was scheduled for a period of time, but it was being gradually lifted, so the possibility of Hai Douluo dying too quickly was not taken into account...

Qian Renxue conveyed the two people's intentions to Atai.

Atai nodded his massive head repeatedly, then leaped up again, crushing the sea serpent's tail into a pool of flesh and bone.

With a flick of her wrist, Qian Renxue used the power of devouring to instantly extract Hydra's life force and residual soul power.

"Yuanyi, now's the time!" she whispered.

Behind Shen Yuanyi, the tail trembled slightly, and the black spirit ring floating on the fifth tail began to merge with it, becoming one with the spirit ring that had already been fused together.

This spirit ring is purplish-gold, probably because it's of the lightning attribute, unlike the bright gold of the little angel's. Shen Yuanyi forcibly activated her purplish-gold spirit ring, which had been enhanced by the fusion of five rings, and her aura surged again. A purplish-gold light condensed at her fingertips, and at the same time, the six tails behind her trembled slightly.

Under the detection of her spiritual power, the purplish-gold light was directly and accurately injected into the sea serpent's spine.

A muffled sound and a chilling wail followed. One characteristic of snake-type spirit beasts is that their central nervous system is not only their brains, but also their spinal cords. It is precisely because of the central nervous system in the spinal cords that the two heads of Hydra are able to keep from arguing.

At this moment, Hydra's cervical vertebrae were completely pierced by Shen Yuanyi's exquisite and penetrating lightning attack. Shen Yuanyi did not choose to destroy Hydra's spine, but instead chose to refine its spinal cord with lightning.

"You're really smart," Qian Renxue exclaimed. "I bet Shrek Academy wouldn't even be willing to teach this kind of knowledge."

This is a story that Qian Renxue once told Shen Yuanyi about Bibi Dong hunting down Da Ming. At that time, Bibi Dong used the Spider King's venom to corrode Da Ming from its tail, eventually forcing it to cut off its tail to survive.

And this Hydra had just had its tail smashed by Atai, revealing its true weakness.

"howl--"

Finally, the lightning bolt traveled up the spine, eventually reaching the remaining part of the head. Upon seeing this, Artest swung his hand, carefully controlling his strength to avoid shattering the head, instead inflicting a concussion.

"break!"

Shen Yuanyi gave a low shout, and the lightning exploded in Hydra's head, completely ending the sea serpent's life.

Qian Renxue stepped forward and caught Shen Yuanyi, who was almost exhausted of her soul power, from mid-air.

At this moment, a blood-red spirit ring emerged from Hydra's body and floated towards Shen Yuanyi's direction.

"What's going on?" Qian Renxue frowned. "Aren't you level 68? How come you activated this soul ring?"

"The reward for the God-King level divine trial," Shen Yuanyi said softly. "The trial said that one-tenth of these two hundred thousand years... would be allocated to my previous six spirit rings..."

"...?" Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment. The Divine Test could be played like this?

The blood-red spirit ring began to change strangely, as if it had melted, turning into liquid energy that slowly flowed into Shen Yuanyi's first six spirit rings. The energy of the other spirit rings, on the other hand, slowly dissipated into the elemental energy of heaven and earth.

Atai used his massive body to shield Shen Yuanyi, protecting her.

"Miss, I think I'm about to unlock a cheat code!" About fifteen minutes later, Shen Yuanyi's soul ring age infusion was completed.

With the help of the divine test, the six spirit rings shared the lifespan of more than 20,000 years, meaning each one increased by nearly 4,000 years, and the first four were dyed purple.

Qian Renxue: Stare—

Hmph~ So what if you're a top student? I'm not envious at all.

Shen Yuanyi is not a chosen one, so the rewards for the assessment will be similar to an increase in soul power level or an increase in the age of soul rings.

Perhaps because the reward for increasing soul power level is gone, it has been converted into a reward for increasing the number of years of soul rings compared to usual.

However, it's certain that Shen Yuanyi will also undergo spirit ring upgrades. This feels like they're deliberately suppressing the rewards. It would be much better to give her a one or two-level increase in spirit power.

"Stop with your sweet talk." Atai's voice was grave. "I sense a familiar aura. It seems to be that guy who showed himself on the edge of the far north before. He's terrifying."
