Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 116 The Growth of the Group

Time flies, and the year of Kun has passed in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, in the lower training grounds of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Xu Yang, wielding the Mimicry of Heavenly Flame Judgment, was locked in battle with Ji Juechen. Compared to three years ago, Ji Juechen's martial soul had been upgraded once again, becoming a truly advanced martial soul.

This also allowed Ji Juechen's talent and strength to be enhanced once again, and at the same time, he himself broke through to become a Soul Emperor.

He was just one step away from becoming a high-level Soul Master.

This sparring session was also in accordance with an agreement made three years ago between Xu Yang and Ji Juechen: as long as Ji Juechen made a significant breakthrough, he could come and spar with Xu Yang.

No one in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could put any pressure on him anymore.

Ji Juechen was a smart man; he had long suspected that Di Ni'er was using Xu Yang's identity. He had also confirmed this with his good friend Xiao Hongchen.

Ji Juechen initially felt it was a pity, lamenting the significant age gap between himself and Di Ni'er. If Di Ni'er, with her talent, had cultivated to his age, she would undoubtedly have been Ji Juechen's best opponent.

He didn't want to suppress his strength to fight a pointless battle.

Each brush with death has benefited him greatly.

Over the past three years, due to their respective martial souls, Ji Juechen and Xiao Hongchen have grown closer. This has led Jing Hongchen to subtly inquire about Xiao Hongchen's sexual orientation on more than one occasion.

"He's their only son, so he can't be allowed to go astray."

"If they grow up crooked, then the Hongchen family will have no successor."

At this moment, Xu Yang, who was fighting Ji Juechen, had already noticed something was wrong. Although he was still able to deal with Ji Juechen with ease, he felt that the pressure was not right.

Now, at the age of fourteen, Xu Yang is already a Soul King powerhouse.

Moreover, the fifth spirit ring has a lifespan of 70,000 years.

The main reason is that the fusion warrior surgery has been initially successful. Xu Yang successfully implanted Gu Yuena's super-mutant factor (active gene fragment) into his own body through the super-mutant surgery, which greatly improved his physical fitness.

Moreover, it was much easier than he had imagined, perhaps because Xu Yang's body already possessed the bloodline of the Silver Dragon. In short, the super-transformation surgery went much more smoothly than Xu Yang had expected.

Over the past three years, the construction of hundred-year and thousand-year soul rings has matured and they have begun to be used on a small scale in the military, with positive feedback.

However, this ten-thousand-year soul ring remains a challenge. Xu Yang currently has no good way to deal with the soul power carried within it.

It's not that he couldn't create a ten-thousand-year spirit ring at all. Xu Yang himself doesn't even remember how many materials he consulted or how many hairs he lost in the process.

He even consulted Xiao Hongchen.

Incidentally, if Xiao Hongchen, who is now thirteen years old, were classified according to the standards of later generations, he would already be a fifth-level master blacksmith capable of performing preliminary spirit forging.

It is precisely for this reason that Xu Yang felt that Spirit Forging Creation, this direct way of creating life, was very worthy of research.

As it turned out, it was a success. The spirit created by Xiao Hongchen was transferred into a ten-thousand-year soul ring by Xu Yang through the Mimicry Feather Transference, and the artificial ten-thousand-year soul ring was successfully created.

However, the cost is simply too high. If they were to rely on this method to produce ten-thousand-year soul rings, even if Xiao Hongchen and Xu Yang worked themselves to death, they still couldn't meet the market demand.

In the past three years, Xiao Hongchen's soul power cultivation has reached level 40, which he just broke through a few days ago.

Xu Yang's method of seeking breakthroughs through forging has been roughly figured out. However, Meng Hongchen is still some distance from level 40, mainly because he spends most of his time improving his Soul Master skills.

It was said to be so that it could better help Xu Yang.

For this reason, Xu Yang had a special talk with her a few days ago, telling her to focus on her cultivation and not to put too much energy into herself.

We'll talk about other things when we're adults.

The main reason is that Xu Yang has focused all his attention on artificial soul rings and fusion warrior surgery for the past three years. He wished he could stay in the laboratory 24 hours a day, so he lacked concern for the people around him.

After listening and considering it carefully, Meng Hongchen also felt that Xu Yang's suggestion was correct. Her current soul power cultivation was starting to hold her back.

Xu Yang had turned the inner core of the Ice-Fire Demon Tiger into a pendant that could aid in cultivation, and Meng Hongchen had always worn it.

As for the starlight unicorn's horn, Xu Yang also turned it into a rather special soul tool.

He noticed that Zhang Lexuan didn't have any handy weapons besides her own martial spirit, so he made a lance based on the Black Abyss White Flower.

Perfectly, the overall shape of that unicorn is also very suitable.

A level 8 soul tool that can be upgraded—Atajina of Midnight.

That's how Xu Yang was named.

After undergoing the initial surgery to become a fusion warrior, Xu Yang's improvement was comprehensive. His physical abilities were already comparable to those of an ordinary Soul Douluo, and his mental strength was approaching that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

However, the improvement of a fusion warrior is phased, and what he has achieved so far is only the initial fusion. If there were a progress bar, he would probably have mastered less than one percent.

It is estimated that if Xu Yang wants to improve again after this, he either needs to activate and upgrade the super-mutant factor of Gu Yuena in his body to strengthen his control over genes, or he needs to start the Chimera Project.

However, Xu Yang believes that the initial gene fusion in his body is sufficient at this stage. To start the Chimera Project, he needs to wait until he has perfect control over the genes belonging to Gu Yuena in his body and accumulate more experimental data.

Xu Yang also attempted to initiate an artificial collapse.

Although the power it constitutes is soul power, Xu Yang still named it "Man-made Collapse".

Its appearance is somewhat similar to the spirit possession of a beast spirit master. Xu Yang's appearance will change drastically after it is activated.

Its original black hair will turn silver-white like Gu Yuena's, its eyes will turn purple, and oval-shaped silver-white scales will appear on its shoulders and neck. A dragon tail will grow from its tailbone, and a pair of silver-white bony dragon wings will also be attached to its back.

He became a complete little dragon.

However, it puts too much strain on the body and cannot be sustained for too long.

When Gu Yuena saw Xu Yang looking like this, she joked that the two of them standing there looked like a mother and son.

After being corrected by Xu Yang for a long time, he reluctantly admitted that they were siblings.

Zhang Lexuan has also fully recovered, and her cultivation level has skyrocketed to level 78. Xu Yang can now fully activate the artificial collapse technique and take down Zhang Lexuan within its duration; he has tested this.

Di Ni'er didn't do anything all day, yet her cultivation level soared. She's now at the high-level Soul Master stage, and it's estimated that by the time of the Soul Master Competition, she'll reach the high-level Soul King stage.
