Douluo Continent: Blood Spear Martial Soul, Soul Rings that can unleash divine power?

"No problem, absorb it here, I'll protect you."

Lin Yu nodded, stood up from the chair, and sat cross-legged on the floor.

He placed the head bone on his forehead and used his soul power to guide it.

The moment they made contact, a chilling sensation spread from his forehead. The soul bone slowly merged with it, and a gray-black light shone from his forehead, gradually condensing into a vertical eye.

Bibi Dong stood to the side, her mental energy ready to intervene at any moment.

Lin Yu closed his eyes, feeling the power flowing through his mind. His thoughts became clearer than ever before, as if a layer of fog covering his eyes had been blown away.

He could feel his mental strength growing and his perception range expanding; he could even hear the sound of leaves falling in the yard clearly.

After an unknown amount of time, the gray-black light subsided and disappeared into the forehead.

Lin Yu opened his eyes.

Level 30, I've broken through.

Although I haven't obtained the third spirit ring and there's still some spirit power left to absorb, it shouldn't be enough to break through level thirty-one.

The skill granted by the head bone is: Soul Devouring Abyss.

Not only can it be immune to mental attacks, but it can also pull the enemy into an illusion it creates, possessing both defensive and offensive capabilities.

Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yu as he opened his eyes and nodded.

"Level 30?"

"Hmm." Lin Yu stood up, feeling his mind become much lighter, his thoughts quicker, and his senses sharper.

"How many years do you plan to absorb the third spirit ring?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked.

"Around 20,000 years ago."

Lin Yu said, "Having absorbed 100,000-year-old whale jelly, plus two soul bones, I should be able to withstand it."

Bibi Dong glanced at him but did not refute him.

Although this disciple was a bit reckless, he was absolutely uncompromising when it came to matters of life and death.

"Go find Yue Guan tomorrow and ask him to take you to the Star Dou Great Forest."

She said, "He understands soul beasts better than Ling Yuan, and knows which soul beasts are at the right age."

Lin Yu nodded.

"There's one more thing," Bibi Dong's tone changed, as if she were an informant, "Starting today, you'll be moving in with me."

Lin Yu was taken aback: "Huh?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's answer, Bibi Dong glanced at him with a displeased look and said, "What? Did I wrong you?"

Lin Yu quickly waved his hand: "No, no."

Bibi Dong originally wanted to tap Lin Yu on the head, but when she raised her hand, she realized that Lin Yu was already as tall as her, so she turned around and straightened Lin Yu's collar instead, saying:

"I still don't know what that old guy Qian Daoliu is up to. You're safe staying here with me."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and whispered, "Okay."

......

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight climbed onto the windowsill.

He got dressed and opened the door.

Bibi Dong was having a meal in the living room when Lin Yu couldn't help but glance at her a few times, because she was only wearing a velvet nightgown.

"What are you looking at?" Bibi Dong couldn't help but scold Lin Yu when she saw him staring at her intently, her tone lacking its usual authority.

"Come sit down and eat."

Seeing that he had been discovered, Lin Yu could only give an awkward laugh, sit down opposite Bibi Dong, and generously compliment her, "Teacher, you look much prettier than yesterday. What did you use?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to remain calm, gave a cold snort, and changed the subject, saying, "Yue Guan's residence is on the west side of the Papal Palace. It's the one with the most flowers on the wall; it's easy to find."

Lin Yu hurriedly ate a couple of bites and rushed out the door. Bibi Dong watched Lin Yu's retreating figure and said, "This kid is getting bolder and bolder."

A side hall to the west of the Papal Palace.

When Lin Yu arrived, Yue Guan was tending to a pot of flowers, which was a pure white orchid.

Hearing footsteps, Yue Guan looked up and saw Lin Yu. A strange smile appeared on her face.

"Hey, what brings you here?"

Lin Yu walked over without beating around the bush: "Uncle Ju, my teacher asked me to come find you and take me to hunt for my third spirit ring."

Yue Guan stopped what she was doing.

He put down the pruning shears, turned around, and looked Lin Yu up and down.

"Level 30?"

"Um."

Yue Guan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by a smile.

He clapped his hands. "Okay, let's go."

Lin Yu and Yue Guan walked outside.

Ling Yuan followed behind.

The three of them left Wuhun City.

Yue Guan was very fast, and Lin Yu was carried forward by it, with Ling Yuan following beside him. The three of them flew over the clouds, the wind whistling in their ears.

Starry Sky Forest.

The three landed at the edge of the forest. Yue Guan released his grip, and Lin Yu stepped on the ground, stretching his shoulders that had become stiff from being lifted.

The forest was dimly lit, with the tall canopies blocking out most of the sky, leaving only a few beams of light filtering through the gaps.

Several roars of beasts came from afar.

"Stay close to me." Yue Guan walked ahead.

Ling Yuan walked at the very back, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

The three walked deeper into the forest.

The further you go, the denser the trees become, and the dimmer the light gets.

After walking for about half an hour, Yue Guan suddenly stopped, raised her hand, and signaled Lin Yu to stop.

Lin Yu stopped and looked ahead, following Yue Guan's gaze.

Ahead was an open space, covered with strange-looking flowers.

The flowers were huge, each one the size of a washbasin, with dark purple-red petals, shaped like an inverted lotus pedestal.

In the center of the flower's stamen is a cluster of dark green veins that, from a distance, resemble open eyes.

Yue Guan's voice came from beside my ear: "Don't look at the flower stamens."

"What is this?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

"Netherworld Soul-Eating Lotus".

Looking at the sea of ​​flowers, Yue Guan spoke with unusual seriousness: "The petals can release hallucinogenic poison mist, and the patterns in the center of the flower's stamen can directly affect mental strength. People with low soul power will fall into an illusion after just a few glances and never wake up again."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

Yue Guan continued, "There are very few soul beasts around this thing because its poisonous mist also affects them. No wonder this area is so quiet."

He turned to Ling Yuan: "Ling Yuan, go and see if there are any suitable soul beasts nearby."

Ling Yuan nodded, and with a flash, disappeared into the tree canopy.

Yue Guan found a clean rock to sit on, patted the spot next to him, and gestured for Lin Yu to sit down as well.

"Uncle Ju," Lin Yu suddenly asked, "you know a lot about flowers and plants?"

Yue Guan turned her head, glanced at him, and smiled slightly with a hint of smugness.

"I love flowers more than anything; there's no rare or exotic flower in the world that I don't know."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then can I learn about flowers and plants from you?"

Yue Guan smiled broadly: "Of course! I didn't expect you to be interested in flowers and plants too."

"Every time I cultivate a new and interesting flower or plant, I call Old Ghost over to admire it, but unfortunately, that guy is always oblivious to romance."

"You can come to me anytime if you want to learn."

Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he nodded.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ling Yuan returned and landed in front of Lin Yu.

"We've spotted a tiger-like spirit beast up ahead," she said. "It's about 25,000 years old, making it a dominant force in this area."

Yue Guan stood up, patted his robe, and said, "Let's go."

Yue Guan walked forward first, then turned back to Lin Yu and asked, "Twenty-five thousand years, dual wind and thunder attributes, that's already equivalent to a Soul Emperor level. Kid, are you sure you want this?"

Lin Yu followed and nodded: "Yes."

Yue Guan glanced at him but said nothing more.

We walked in the forest for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Ling Yuan led the way, Lin Yu was in the middle, and Yue Guan followed at the very back.

The closer you get to the target, the fewer spirit beasts are around.

Finally, Lingyuan stopped, squatted behind a clump of bushes, and gestured with her lips towards the front.

"It's just ahead."

Lin Yu pushed aside the bushes and looked ahead.

In the open space ahead, a huge tiger was lying on the ground, dozing off.

It stands at least ten feet tall at the shoulder, its body covered in silvery-white fur that gleams in the dim forest, and has two deep blue stripes on its back that extend from its forehead to the tip of its tail.

A few tiny blue arcs of electricity would pop out from the joints, making a crackling sound.

"It's the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger," Yue Guan said, looking at the tiger in front of him.

Lin Yu stared at it for a few seconds, his heart skipping a beat.

This wasn't his first time facing spirit beasts, but the last time he came, he was accompanied by Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, three titled Douluo. He did almost nothing and was simply protected in the middle.

"I'll do it myself," he said.

Yue Guan turned to look at him, her brow furrowing slightly: "Are you sure?"

"You can make your move when I can't hold on any longer," Lin Yu said calmly, looking at the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger.

"If you make a move, it will cause too much of a commotion. I don't want to face a 100,000-year-old soul beast again right now."

Yue Guan paused for two seconds, recalling her previous encounter, and then nodded.

Ling Yuan glanced at him but didn't say anything; she was ready to make a move at any moment.
