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

Chapter 54 Cultivation Level Soars

"No, get out of my way!" Shi Nian screamed, his voice filled with despair and terror.

However, his painful wails gradually subsided, as if his deep, powerful voice had transformed into an old and feeble one.

He aged rapidly with age, his body became dry and dull, his face was covered in wrinkles, and his breath became weak. In an instant, he turned into an old man with white hair.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan was surprised. It was his first time using it, and even he himself didn't know that this pupil technique was so abnormal.

Keep in mind, he's only a level 41 Lesser Soul Master, while his opponent is a genuine Soul Saint. Despite the three-realm gap, he severely injured his opponent.

puff!

Suddenly, Chen Xuan's face turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body weakened instantly, making him sway and almost fall.

Soon, a stinging pain spread through his eyes, as if he were being pricked by a thousand needles, causing him unbearable pain and his face to contort.

Chen Xuan was well aware that this was a side effect of using the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, including not only mental and physical pain, but also damage to his eyesight.

His right kaleidoscope had automatically shut down, regressing to the three-tomoe state. When he looked into the distance, he immediately sensed something was wrong; it was beyond his expectations.

"This... is more serious than I thought." Chen Xuan's face was grim.

Originally, he could see the veins of a leaf 120 meters away, but after undergoing a pupil surgery, his vision has severely deteriorated, and he can only see clearly at 90 meters.

At this rate of consumption, it will probably only last for about three uses at most before the left eye goes completely blind.

"Perhaps it's not as bad as I think." Chen Xuan slowly stood up, took out a kunai, and walked towards the white-haired Shi Nian.

This guy is incredibly old, his blood and energy are depleted, his skin is dull and wrinkled all over, he's frail and old, but he's not quite dead yet, his vitality is tenacious.

Chen Xuan felt that the reason he had consumed so much energy was because he had fought enemies while leaping three major realms.

If used on a Soul Master of the same level, the consumption of pupil power should not be that great, and it can be used more than ten times without any problem.

The question is, at the same level, would he be forced to use the Samsara Domain? Obviously not, at most he would just use his left eye to pause time.

Chen Xuan felt neither disappointed nor dissatisfied. Although the side effects were severe, the Tong Technique was abnormal enough to be used as a trump card. It could turn the tide of battle when facing a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo.

"Who exactly are you?" Shi Nian asked weakly, her voice feeble.

He leaned against a large tree; his aged body had lost its vitality, making it difficult for him to move even a single step.

"Hunter." Chen Xuan used only two simple words to make it clear to the other party who the prey was.

His old, cloudy eyes had lost all their luster. He was extremely weak and spoke with great difficulty, saying, "What did you do to me? I am no longer a Soul Saint."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was immediately startled. What did he mean?

He immediately examined himself and felt his internal condition, and made an astonishing discovery.

Knowing the answer made him feel unsettled and somewhat dazed; this... was a little terrifying.

Chen Xuan was stunned. His soul power had actually surged to level 45.

This result was shocking and unbelievable, and even he himself couldn't accept it for a while.

Not only that, Chen Xuan immediately released his martial soul, a pitch-black spatial entity appeared above his head, and soul rings appeared under his feet, yellow, yellow, purple, and black.

On the surface, he still had the same four spirit rings, but only he knew that the age of his fourth spirit ring was no longer 12,000 years, but 32,000 years.

Chen Xuan himself found it hard to believe, but it was the truth. According to the theory of a level 29 master, the limit for a normal Soul Master's sixth ring is only 20,000 to 30,000 years. Now he has reached it with his fourth ring, and even surpassed it.

"Is it really because of the pupil technique?" He couldn't help but wonder, does the Samsara Domain really have such an effect?

The Tongshu technique is ultimately an attack method, but now it rivals that of gods and can increase the age of soul rings, which is obviously extremely difficult to achieve.

Chen Xuan believed that the ability of the Tong technique to absorb other people's soul power was already astonishing enough, but to also plunder the years of soul rings was simply unrealistic.

This is the cultivation system of the mainland. He wouldn't be so excited as to think it's superior to the divine arts.

He considered many possibilities but couldn't find a reasonable explanation. He had only ever eaten plants from two different systems.

One is a plant with nine cherry-like fruits, and the other is that strange fruit that resembles a red agate.

Chen Xuan didn't think the reason would lie in those two things.

"Never mind, I'll just have to figure it out later." Things I can't figure out, I'll leave for later.

He shook his head; there were still things to do.

"No matter what, Shi Nian, I still want to thank you for helping me so much." Chen Xuan's smile was slightly sarcastic.

Earlier, the other party was jealous of him because he possessed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and wanted to kill him, toying with him and treating him as prey.

Little did they know that from the very beginning, Shi Nian himself was the prey.

"Who exactly are you?!" His old, cloudy eyes held a thirst for knowledge and a sense of resentment.

Chen Xuan remained expressionless and said, "I've already said it, I'm the hunter, and you're the prey."

He was old and gray-haired, frail and old, his skin wrinkled beyond recognition.

He sensed the state of his body; ninety percent of his vitality and soul power had been drained away, and he only had a dozen or so drops of blood left.

On the mainland, only that group of people possess such evil and terrifying abilities.

"You are... an evil spirit master!" Shi Nian was very weak, but he guessed the answer at the last moment, so he didn't have to die with his eyes open.

However, he was truly unwilling to accept it. He was an old man with profound cultivation, a superior person, a top expert, yet he was now dying at the hands of a mere child. He found it hard to accept.

"What the hell is this evil spirit master? Why don't you just say I'm the Sea God?" Chen Xuan said speechlessly.

"Ah, I am not reconciled!" Shi Nian roared to the sky, using all his strength.

He was truly unwilling to accept it; one moment he was the ruler, and the next he had become the prey.

Shi Nian was already on the verge of death, and could die at any moment. Now, after learning the truth, he finally breathed his last and died with his eyes wide open.

Chen Xuan was speechless; they really thought he was an evil spirit master.

What evil spirit master? It's clearly persistence and hard work that can turn the tide in a hopeless situation.

Just before leaving, he remembered something and immediately formed several hand seals.

With a whoosh, flames roared through the forest, engulfing Shi Nian's body and burning fiercely.

The fire ignited the trees in the vicinity, burning away most of the traces of the battle.

"Thank you so much. Choosing to be outside Heaven Dou City would make it difficult for even a Title Douluo to find any clues."

After the fire was extinguished, a cluster of colorful light emerged from the scorched earth, a beautiful sight.

Chen Xuan didn't leave; he had been waiting for this moment. He walked over and picked it up directly.

This piece of soul bone is about a foot long and shines with seven-colored light.

"If I'm not mistaken, the illusion-type soul bone that was lost at the auction a while ago should be this one." Chen Xuan felt that today was a lucky day, and he hadn't suffered any losses at all.

Instead, he unexpectedly gained a 30,000-year-old soul bone, and his soul power surged to level 45.

"Fortunately, it's not in Tiandou City." Chen Xuan was relieved. The royal family had dispatched a considerable number of troops to search for the whereabouts of this soul bone. If it had been found in his hands, even ten mouths wouldn't have been able to explain himself.

He had no intention of returning it, because he wasn't that kind of person. He had stolen it by force, so why should he return it, especially since it was a trophy he had won after risking his life?
