Douluo Continent: Reborn as Qin Ming, starting by joining the Spirit Hall

Chapter 113 Death Valley

About twenty days later.

Inside Death Canyon.

Beside a dried-up stream.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and a large, jet-black bird lay sprawled on the cracked ground.

In the sunlight, its wings subtly reflect seven colors.

Before him, Kelin sat cross-legged on the ground, a black spirit ring shimmering faintly.

Yue Guan and his men were on guard nearby.

At this moment, looking at Ke Lin, who seemed to be struggling, Dugu Xin asked somewhat nervously.

"Your Highness, this Starry Sky Bird should be around 25,000 years old."

This exceeds the limit of what a Soul Emperor can absorb over a few years. Is Bishop Colleen really alright?

"Xin, don't worry."

According to past theories, the maximum lifespan of a Soul Emperor could absorb a Soul Ring was 20,000 years.

This Starbird is only slightly over its maximum lifespan.

As he spoke, Qin Ming pointed to Ke Lin, whose expression was gradually softening.

"Look, the most difficult stage for Bishop Colleen has passed; what remains is just a matter of patience and perseverance."

Seeing that Dugu Xin still seemed a little confused, Qin Ming continued to explain.

"More than half a year ago, Bishop Kelin learned from me about the importance of physical strength, and he began training on his own at that time."

I also gifted the whale glue that I had previously purchased, which can enhance physical strength, to Bishop Corin.

Now, with the help of the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Bishop Kelin's physical strength is not low.

I wonder what kind of spirit skills this spirit ring will grant him.

Looking at the silver scepter in front of Colleen, Qin Ming also felt a sense of anticipation.

Kelin is a support-type Soul Master, and his Martial Soul, the Moon Shadow Staff, is also of good quality.

Unlike most other support-type Soul Masters, Kelin chose to specialize in one aspect.

When choosing soul skills, Kelin prioritizes speed-type soul beasts.

This means that four out of the five spirit rings Kelin previously acquired can provide speed boosts through their spirit skills.

Only the soul skill of the third soul ring had a slight deviation, which was to increase attack power.

In the previous battle, Yue Guan and the others were full of praise for the speed boost provided by Ke Lin.

The Starry Sky Sparrow in front of us, which was specifically hunted for Kelin, is also a speed-type soul beast.

Qin Ming was very curious at this moment: would Colin's sixth soul skill be a speed-boosting soul skill as Colin wished...?

Several hours later.

As the sun sets, Death Valley gradually becomes cold and gloomy.

hum-

With an invisible ripple, Kelin awoke from his meditation.

The black spirit ring then disappeared into Ke Lin's body.

Seeing this, Qin Ming and the others gathered around Ke Lin.

"How is Bishop Colleen feeling?"

"Your Highness, I have broken through to the Soul Emperor level."

"This sixth soul skill, unsurprisingly, is exactly the speed-boosting soul skill I need..."

After receiving Ke Lin's reply, Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Bishop Colleen."

At this moment, Yue Guan and the others also came over.

After simply congratulating Ke Lin, Yue Guan immediately spoke loudly.

"Bishop Kelin, hurry!"

Let me test the effect of your sixth soul skill.

Upon hearing this, Kelin smiled and nodded.

Holding the Moon Shadow Staff in his hand, Kelin gently tapped the Moon Gate.

As the spirit rings flickered, a stream of light entered Yue Guan's body.

After briefly assessing her own condition, Yue Guan stepped lightly.

In an instant, Yue Guan's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in mid-air dozens of meters away.

"Bishop Kelin, your soul skill is... "

Um?"

Sensing something was wrong, Yue Guan stopped speaking and subconsciously used his soul power to create a simple protective barrier around himself.

With a whistling sound, a ball of fire struck him.

boom--

The firelight enveloped the Moon Pass...

Seeing this, Qin Ming dared not be negligent. He immediately activated his martial spirit and looked around warily.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about it. It is just a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

It can't harm Yue Guan.

As he spoke, the ghost pointed to a spot not far away.

Qin Ming and the others looked in the direction the ghost was pointing.

A leopard, entirely crimson but with a pure white tail, appeared before them.

After a quick glance, Kelin made his judgment.

"Judging from its basic characteristics, this should be a Flame Cloud Leopard with a cultivation level of nearly 40,000 years."

It was most likely attracted by the blood scent emanating from the Starbird.

After hearing Ke Lin's words, Qin Ming also realized the problem.

Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Yue Guan shouted sharply from the firelight.

"You old bastard!"

As soon as Yue Guan finished speaking, golden petals began to fall from the sky, enveloping the Flame Cloud Leopard almost instantly.

A piercing scream came from the mouth of the Flame Cloud Leopard.

Its once magnificent fur has disappeared, replaced by countless bloody wounds.

After letting out a cold snort, Yue Guan appeared above the Flame Cloud Leopard's head, and golden soul power followed, falling towards the Flame Cloud Leopard.

In no time at all, Yue Guan appeared in front of Qin Ming, carrying the Flame Cloud Leopard.

"Your Highness, what do you think of this fire-attribute soul beast?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming turned to look at Ke Lin beside him and asked.

"Bishop Colleen, what's your opinion?"

"The bloodline quality is alright, but the age is really too low!"

"Your Highness, absorbing this soul beast is a waste of your talent."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming nodded.

"Understood."

As he spoke, Qin Ming looked at Yue Guan again.

"Elder Yueguan, you can handle this Flame Cloud Leopard as you see fit."

This was, after all, a spoil of war from Yue Guan, and the Flame Cloud Leopard had previously ambushed Yue Guan.

Therefore, Qin Ming did not suggest that Yue Guan should release the Flame Cloud Leopard in order to protect the soul beast resources.

Knowing that Qin Ming didn't need the soul beast, Yue Guan nodded.

He reached out and summoned countless golden petals, which transformed into a long, golden whip with spikes in his hand.

After lashing the Flame Cloud Leopard several times, Yue Guan finally released his suppression of its soul power.

As soon as the suppression was released, the Flame Cloud Leopard whimpered and fled into the distance...

Watching the Flame Cloud Leopard's silhouette disappear into the distance, Yue Guan shook his head.

Then, he turned to look at Qin Ming and said.

"Your Highness, there aren't many fire-attribute soul beasts in this Death Valley."

That leopard was very likely the fire-attribute soul beast with the highest cultivation level.

If we really can't find a suitable soul beast in Death Valley, then we'll just go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

The resources of spirit beasts there are much richer.

"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry."

As he spoke, Qin Ming looked up at the setting sun gradually disappearing into the distance.

"It's getting late, let's rest here for now."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan glanced at Qin Ming a few times.

After noticing that Qin Ming didn't seem to care, Yue Guan tentatively spoke.

"Your Highness, the subsequent hunt for 100,000-year-old soul beasts is far too dangerous."

Or, we can wait until tomorrow morning.

Old Ghost and I will first escort you, Bishop Kelin, and Dugu Xin out of Death Valley.

Old Ghost and I will handle the task of helping Elder Dugu Bo hunt for souls.

I will also reserve the Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Winged Spider King that Dugu Xin needs in advance...
