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

Chapter 4 Planning

An hour later.

Inside the inn.

Qin Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

"After a period of meditation, I have adjusted myself to the best condition, and it is time to start taking whale gelatin."

Hopefully, this thing will help me achieve a breakthrough.

Qin Ming took out the brocade box containing the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, his thoughts drifting far away.

In the original story, when Huo Yuhao absorbed the weathered ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, his soul power increased by about half a level.

My whale glue is of higher quality than his whale glue, which has already weathered.

Hopefully, this thing will help me break through this bottleneck.

Qin Ming was already close to reaching level 30 in soul power, and in his view, the whale glue was just a catalyst.

After thinking it through, Qin Ming no longer hesitated.

With a thought, the phantom of the Fiery Wolf appeared behind him.

The temperature in the room suddenly rose.

Qin Ming ignored these changes, opened the brocade box directly, took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and placed it in his hand.

The fishy, ​​foul smell of whale glue lingered at Qin Ming's nose.

Qin Ming ignored it and continued to urge his soul power.

Flames gradually appeared on his right hand, and began to burn the whale glue in Qin Ming's hand.

As time goes by.

The whale glue gradually softened, and the originally jet-black outer layer peeled off.

A strange fragrance emanated from the whale glue.

Golden spots of light then bloomed.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming was overjoyed and began to increase the output of his soul power.

The flames in Qin Ming's hand suddenly flared up.

In the scorching flames, the area occupied by the light spots on the whale glue gradually increased.

In no time, the whale glue in Qin Ming's hand turned into a dark golden gelatinous substance.

Without hesitation, Qin Ming swallowed the whale glue in his hand in one gulp.

Feeling the scalding hot whale gelatin flowing into his stomach, Qin Ming dared not be negligent.

He quickly closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

As Qin Ming began refining the whale glue, streams of heat rose up, constantly washing over Qin Ming's limbs and bones.

Qin Ming's blood and qi began to surge, and his skin turned blood red.

From a distance, it seemed that wisps of steam were emanating from Qin Ming's body.

As physical strength continued to increase, the side effects of whale gel also became apparent.

Wave after wave of pleasure continuously stimulated Qin Ming's mind.

Qin Ming unconsciously thought of his experiences before he transmigrated.

Qin Ming had anticipated this and dared not be negligent.

Qin Ming carefully guarded his mind and constantly circulated his soul power to divert his attention, in order to avoid getting lost in these pleasures and missing the opportunity to break through.

Time keeps passing.

Driven by his body, Qin Ming's soul power also began to fluctuate.

There are faint signs that a breakthrough has been achieved.

Qin Ming was overjoyed to realize this.

"Now!"

After giving a sharp shout in his heart, Qin Ming began to focus all his efforts on breaking through to the Soul Venerable realm.

After a while.

hum-

The aura of a Soul Master emanated from Qin Ming.

Qin Ming slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

"I never expected to break through in one fell swoop."

However, we should also consider absorbing spirit rings later.

Qin Ming's thoughts drifted further and further away.

The original work mentions that the maximum lifespan for a Soul Master in the third ring is 1760 years.

The fourth ring was around 5000 years ago.

However, this point is questionable and should only be used as a reference.

My physical strength should be higher than that of an ordinary Soul Master.

However, the exact extent of the improvement will only be known after testing.

In addition, the original work also mentioned one point.

Huo Yuhao absorbed the Ice Emperor's torso and bones, the weathered ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, and also used the life-giving metal to forge the foundation for godhood.

Even so, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm only believed that Huo Yuhao could barely withstand the impact of a ten-thousand-year soul ring and could absorb a soul ring of about five thousand years.

In addition, it can help Huo Yuhao seal his soul power for about ten thousand years.

With so many enhancements, Huo Gua was able to directly absorb a 15,000-year-old soul ring during his third ring, thus surpassing his level.

I am not Huo Gua.

I do not have the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

I also do not possess the gold of life.

Compared to Huo Gua, I only absorbed a piece of ordinary ten-thousand-year whale glue.

The maximum lifespan of a spirit ring I can withstand is 3 years, which would be considered quite good.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming was not discouraged.

His thoughts became clearer and clearer.

"Huo Gua is Huo Gua after all; I don't have his kind of opportunities."

However, I have a higher starting point than him, and I can also follow Ma Hongjun's path.

With the help of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

My martial spirit has at least two more chances to evolve.

My future will definitely not be worse than his.

Qin Ming's gaze hardened, and he sat up from the bed, muttering to himself.

"I need to test out the soul skill."

With a thought, Qin Ming silently raised his hand.

Qin Ming's first spirit ring lit up, and his spirit power began to gather at his fingertips, igniting a blazing flame.

Without much hesitation, Qin Ming raised his hand and pointed to the wooden chair next to him.

A streak of fire shot out with Qin Ming's movement and landed on a wooden chair to the side.

boom--

The bolt of fire blasted a small dent, about the size of a fingernail, into the chair.

Seeing this, Qin Ming was only slightly disappointed, but he could understand.

"The original owner of this body was, after all, a commoner."

His first soul skill, Azure Fire Line, was taken from a fire-attribute soul beast that was about two hundred years old.

This soul skill condenses a thumb-thick line of fire at the fingertip for attack; it condenses quickly and consumes little energy.

Unfortunately, this soul skill deals very little damage; it's practically less effective than Ashe's.

It can only be described as a useless soul skill.

If there are no ways to enhance the power of spirit rings later on, then this spirit skill will inevitably be phased out.

Without wasting any time, Qin Ming activated his second spirit ring again.

The illusory image of Qin Ming's martial spirit disappeared into his body, and two bright golden vertical lines appeared on Qin Ming's face.

After briefly assessing his own condition, Qin Ming swept away his previous displeasure.

"The second soul skill, the protection of the Azure Wolf, is derived from a five-hundred-year-old Azure Wolf."

The effect is to increase all attributes by 20% for a short period of time.

This type of status-based soul skill can be considered a minor top-tier soul skill.

Because of these two soul skills, the original body's combat...

They often rely on the speed boost from their second soul skill to constantly pull the opponent back, then use the fire line enhanced by the second soul skill to wear down the opponent from a distance, and finally close in to end the battle.

Based on this combat system, I would consider using an explosive-type soul skill as my third soul skill, in an attempt to acquire a decisive means.

Alternatively, you could choose a burning-type soul skill and continue down the path of ranged attrition.

Qin Ming's thoughts gradually became clearer.

"The acquisition and use of Soul Skills are both a skill in themselves."

I've only been here for a few days.

My combat ability isn't strong, so it's clearly unrealistic for me to hunt down thousand-year-old soul beasts on my own.

Furthermore, I need advice on how to specifically select and identify soul beasts.

Collecting this knowledge on your own is too difficult and a waste of time.

It seems I'll have to bother that bishop who wants to "advance" again...
