Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 36 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring

"Shrek Academy?" Upon hearing this name, Chrysanthemum Pass seemed to ponder, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

The Shrek team hasn't made a name for itself yet; apart from Tiandou City, almost no one has heard of them.

Hu Liena had never heard of it before and guessed it must be some third-rate team.

"Elder Ju, I think this little brother should be fine," she said.

Juhua Guan nodded, but this matter still needs to be confirmed. He would have someone investigate it when he got back.

Within the spiritual space

Chen Xuan was battling the strange fish-like spirit beast, using various time periods to extinguish its resentment.

"Something's wrong. How could a thousand-year-old soul beast harbor such a strong resentment!" He gasped for breath, feeling exhausted and mentally drained. He seriously suspected that the fish was actually a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and that it was more than just what it appeared to be.

Finally, he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. The six tomoe swirled and eventually merged together, forming a yin-yang symbol.

"Die!" Chen Xuan roared fiercely, using his eye power to unleash a chilling chakra that permeated his entire spiritual world.

The effect was very obvious when those eyes appeared. The figure of the big fish blurred, and its body, which was more than ten meters long, gradually dissipated, becoming illusory and losing its form.

In one minute, all the resentment of the soul beast dissipated.

Without any obstacles, Chen Xuan was finally able to absorb the spirit ring, and his speed increased. After more than ten minutes, he completed the absorption of this thousand-year spirit ring.

At this point, his martial soul gained an additional soul ring, his soul power broke through level 40, and he became a Soul Master, with his soul power reaching level 41.

With a soul power of level 41, he was finally on par with Tang San in the Shrek Academy team, even though Dai Mubai was only two levels higher than him.

Who would have thought that just a few days ago he was at the level 38 Soul Master, but after having a one-night stand with Xiao Wu, and now with the Soul Ring he has absorbed, his Soul Power has soared to level 41 in a short period of time.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, gently exhaled, and successfully absorbed the soul ring.

Hu Liena was surprised and walked up curiously, saying, "Less than half an hour, little brother, how did you get here so fast?"

Chen Xuan stood up, dusted off his clothes, glanced at her sideways, and said nothing.

"Little brother, you're too fast! My junior is really long-lasting, he's still not finished. You're much faster." Hu Liena's red lips were bright red as she covered her mouth and giggled, making no attempt to hide her laughter. She laughed merrily and began to tease Chen Xuan again.

Chen Xuan was speechless. This vixen was definitely doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to disgust him.

Juhua Guan noticed the commotion and walked over from a distance, only to find that he had already completed the absorption of the soul ring.

"Chen Xuan, little guy, tell me how you feel. What level of soul power are you at now?"

Chen Xuan carefully sensed the changes within his body and was immediately astonished, gaining considerable insight.

"I'm at level 41 now, but I feel like I'm not far from level 42." He was telling the truth; he really wasn't far off. In a little over half a month, he would definitely be able to break through to level 42.

"Ding! Congratulations, host Chen Xuan, on breaking through to the level 40 Soul Master realm. The upgrade gift pack has been issued. Please check it."

Suddenly, a mechanical electronic voice rang in his mind, startling him.

Chen Xuan was stunned at first, standing there in a daze, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

He had forgotten that the system had this function: every time he broke through a major realm, he would receive a reward, such as the Kaleidoscope, 100,000 gold soul coins, and chakra attributes, which were the rewards he received back then.

Chen Xuan remained calm and suppressed his urge to open it, deciding to wait until he returned to the academy.

Hu Liena and Juhua Guan didn't notice anything amiss and urged him to release his martial spirit to see the results.

Chen Xuan didn't waste any time and immediately summoned his Flying Thunder God Martial Soul. Soul rings immediately appeared beneath his feet—yellow, yellow, purple…

When the last spirit ring lit up, everyone present was stunned, staring dumbfounded at the fourth spirit ring.

Chen Xuan opened his mouth, incredulous. What... what's going on?

No, what happened? Why is his fourth spirit ring black? Isn't that fish a thousand-year-old spirit beast?

Beneath his feet, a black spirit ring spun continuously, emanating the aura of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast—a genuine ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring.

Even a seasoned expert like Juhua Guan was utterly astonished, having never witnessed such a situation before.

Even the titled Douluo were like this, let alone the others. The disciples of the Spirit Hall Academy were all gaping, their mouths agape, big enough to fit an egg.

Previously, each of them had witnessed Chen Xuan absorbing a spirit ring that was over nine thousand years old, but now it had turned into a black spirit ring that was ten thousand years old. It was too bizarre; they had never seen anything like it before.

Even Chen Xuan himself was dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened or what was going on.

Ultimately, Chrysanthemum Pass could only offer this explanation: the fish was originally just one step away from having ten thousand years of cultivation, and perhaps it broke through unexpectedly during its struggle with Chen Xuan.

Now, this is the only possibility.

However, Chen Xuan was apprehensive. Others might not know, but he could clearly sense that this soul ring was at least 15,000 years old, definitely not just around 10,000 years old.

Therefore, the speculation about Chrysanthemum Pass was refuted.

But he didn't make a fuss, thinking it best not to reveal it, lest it cause trouble and he be arrested for investigation.

"Brother Chen, let your sister see your soul skills." Hu Liena was very curious and couldn't wait for Chen Xuan to show his soul skills.

The others felt the same way, since they had never seen a thousand-year soul ring become a ten-thousand-year soul ring before, and they all wanted to see the power of its soul skill.

Chen Xuan gave a wry smile. It wasn't that he didn't want to reveal his soul skills, but this martial soul was extremely unreliable. If used well, it was a top-tier martial soul; if used poorly, it was a useless martial soul, making even playing a support role difficult.

Where did this soul skill come from? There isn't one at all. If you really want to count it, the only soul skill is spatial teleportation. Every time you break through a major realm, you can inscribe the spell once more.

Later, after consuming that plant that resembled a magical herb, his growth multiplied with each breakthrough in a major realm.

Previously, he could only inscribe three spell formulas, but now he can inscribe six.

Chen Xuan also felt pained and truthfully told Hu Liena and the others about the state of his martial soul.

"Ah, Brother Chen, you're not kidding, are you?" Everyone was incredulous upon hearing this. Wasn't this a complete waste of a martial soul?

Hu Liena couldn't help but admire him a little; such a useless martial soul had managed to cultivate to its current level.

In order to become a powerful Soul Master, he had to try every means to create his own Soul Skills. What an inspiring person!

In fact, there is one thing Chen Xuan did not reveal: perhaps when one reaches the Soul Saint realm, everything will improve, or even see a qualitative breakthrough.

In a pitch-black space, his martial spirit was bound by an iron chain, and some of his abilities were locked, making him unable to use them.

Chen Xuan tried to break the iron chain by striking it, but failed many times.

His soul power is not enough to break it; perhaps one day he will have the chance.

"Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time," Chen Xuan muttered to himself, since his current soul skills were sufficient anyway.

His current goal is Wood Release. Once he obtains this bloodline limit, he will have the means to establish himself on this continent.

"Senior Ju, Sister Hu Liena, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Chen Xuan said goodbye and left.

After picking up his younger sister, he went back to the academy to see how Xiao Wu was doing, whether she was feeling very down, or whether she still hated him.
