Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"Uncle Sheng, I'm back. Also, I've emphasized this so many times, just call me A-Yang like Grandpa does."

Xu Yang spoke first, looking helpless.

When Kong Deming was researching soul tools and didn't have time to spend with Xu Yang, it was mostly Xu Sheng who took care of Xu Yang.

Therefore, in some respects, Xu Sheng can be said to be the person Xu Yang is closest to and trusts besides Kong Deming.

Xu Yang regarded Xu Sheng, who always referred to himself as Xu Qing's servant, more as a reliable uncle. He was about ten years older than Xu Yang's father and should be almost sixty years old now.

In many things, Xu Sheng listened to Xu Yang, but the only thing he could never get rid of was the way he addressed him.

Xu Sheng always shut him up with things like "rules cannot be disregarded," and over time Xu Yang just started calling him that like Xu Sheng did.

"Alright, I'm going to take A-Yang to absorb the spirit ring now. You can go do your own thing."

Kong Deming dismissed him from the side.

He had a good impression of Xu Sheng; he was talented and loyal.

Over the past few years, he has indeed helped a lot, not to mention anything else, just taking care of Xu Yang has already made him very satisfied.

He had also planned it out. With Xu Sheng's level 8.5 soul power, it was almost hopeless for him to break through to the Title Douluo level on his own. He would then mobilize some resources to assist him.

Besides its advanced soul tools, the Sun Moon Empire's main asset is its cultivation-enhancing drugs.

In the Sun Moon Empire, there are practically no titled Douluo who can cultivate to their current level without using drugs. Even Kong Deming himself used a lot of drugs to cultivate when he was young.

Moreover, all medicines have some degree of toxicity, and these medicines will accumulate some toxicity in the body to varying degrees, which will make future cultivation increasingly difficult.

This is why Xu Qing is so highly regarded.

Because Xu Qing cultivated to the Title Douluo realm on his own without relying on too many drugs, he was considered a freak in the entire Sun Moon Empire, which was addicted to drugs.

For those potential Title Douluos who are limited by their talent and can never break through to the Title Douluo level in their lifetime, the Sun Moon Empire has a secret medicine.

One can gamble on breaking through to the Title Douluo level by completely overdrawing their future potential.

Moreover, the success rate is quite high. However, due to the scarcity of the ingredients, this secret medicine has long disappeared from public view, and even the entire royal family would find it difficult to concoct another batch.

However, Kong Deming happens to have a copy of the main ingredient of that secret medicine, which he can give to Xu Sheng in the future.

This can be considered a reward for his loyalty over the years.

Xu Yang and Kong Deming entered the training room. The last user of this training room was Xu Yang's mother, who broke through to become a Quasi-Soul Douluo here.

Upon entering the cultivation room, Xu Yang and Kong Deming both fell silent, clearly recalling those painful memories.

Kong Deming spoke first, taking out the soul tool that stored the Silver Wolf soul ring and saying:

"The silver wolf's spirit ring is stored here. I'll be right beside you now to protect you. I've already taught you how to absorb spirit rings. Let's begin..."

Hearing Kong Deming's words, Xu Yang recovered from his sadness, picked up the soul tool from Kong Deming's hand, and released the yellow soul ring.

The spirit rings spun rhythmically in the air, as if they were alive. This was the first time Xu Yang had observed spirit rings so closely.

He didn't have time to study these things carefully when he killed the Golden Wolf.

Xu Yang summoned his Silver Dragon Martial Soul and communicated with it. After learning about the situation, the Silver Dragon looked excited.

They seemed very excited about becoming stronger after learning that absorbing a spirit ring would make them more powerful.

Xu Yang originally thought that absorbing a spirit ring would be like what Kong Deming taught him, requiring him to first focus on his martial spirit and adjust his state.

Then, using his own soul power, he guided the soul ring to the top of his head. After the soul ring contracted, it attached itself to his martial soul. He guided the energy to cleanse his meridians and nourish his martial soul, resisting the energy impact and preventing it from going berserk.

Finally, once the energy is fully integrated, the spirit ring solidifies into the martial spirit, new spirit skills are acquired, and the bottleneck is broken through, the spirit power level will naturally increase.

But who would have thought that the Silver Dragon Martial Soul would directly snatch the Soul Ring and, like eating a snack, chew it up bit by bit and swallow it all in front of the grandfather and grandson.

Moreover, it was very fast; it consumed all the spirit rings in about twenty minutes, just like a normal person eating a meal.

This greatly surprised the two of them, as there was never any similar record in the books. Out of concern for Xu Yang's safety, Kong Deming did not stop the silver dragon from consuming the spirit ring throughout the entire process.

The Silver Dragon Martial Soul lay on Xu Yang's head, its belly exposed, as if it had eaten and drunk its fill.

A human-like smile appeared on his face, clearly implying:

"You're quite good, sir. I'm very satisfied with this feast of spirit rings."

Then, with a look of excitement, he returned to Xu Yang's sea of ​​consciousness.

After carefully confirming that Xu Yang was not seriously injured, Kong Deming finally felt relieved.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Um... Ah Yang, how are you feeling right now?"

Xu Yang checked his physical condition and found that his soul power had broken through to level thirteen. He then subconsciously summoned his soul ring.

A bright yellow spirit ring appeared at Xu Yang's feet, spinning rhythmically. Upon closer inspection, one could see silver dragon patterns on the spirit ring, clearly indicating that it had been specially processed by the Silver Dragon Martial Soul.

As for the soul skill, it's very simple—elemental affinity.

After activating his first soul skill, Xu Yang's affinity with the soul skills he possessed increased further. With the amplification of this soul skill, the effects of both the soul skills released by Xu Yang and the elemental soul skills released by his allies would be enhanced.

It looks somewhat like a domain-type soul skill.

Kong Deming was very happy after learning about Xu Yang's first soul skill. He knew that it was a rare and extremely valuable soul skill.

But these weren't what Xu Yang cared about most.

He discovered that the Void Treasury, which had always remained quietly in the Sea of ​​Spirit, had changed; it was somewhat different.

He summoned Void Treasury again. Unlike the first time he awakened Void Treasury, this time after it was summoned, it was surrounded by a bright golden object that looked like a spirit ring.

Apart from the color, both its shape and aura were identical to the spirit rings Xu Yang had absorbed before, according to his perception.

He carefully unleashed the first soul skill of the soul ring he had attached to Void Treasury.

Just like the mimicry pen before, the Void Treasury slowly transformed into golden energy, eventually turning into a pair of pistols.

Xu Yang's eyes widened in disbelief. This was—the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, known as the Key of Destruction. Even this weakened, simulated version was far superior to any so-called ultimate fire...
