Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

"Choosing amplification skills for the first few soul skills, Xiao Qi, your idea is very bold and forward-thinking."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Chen Jieqi tilted his head slightly, a hint of childlike cunning in his eyes, yet also a maturity beyond his years.

He took a half step forward, gently tugged at the hem of Dugu Bo's dark green robe hanging at his side, and continued in a crisp voice:

"It's only because Grandpa is here that I dared to make this decision."

Since you helped me choose my spirit rings in the early stages, whether or not I have offensive spirit rings is irrelevant. I just need to choose the ones that best suit me.

Most importantly, low-level offensive spirit rings become largely useless in the early game, while amplifying spirit rings can be used indefinitely.

This ensures that the grandchild's core competitiveness will increase as they grow older.

After all, given that their soul power and physical strength are roughly the same at the same stage, and without considering the advantage or disadvantage of martial souls,

The damage and duration of a Soul Master's Soul Skills determine their potential, and amplification-type Soul Ring Skills can precisely meet these requirements.

Whether it's increased soul skill damage, increased attributes, increased soul power recovery, etc., having one is worthwhile, having two is a win.

As he finished speaking, Chen Jieqi's little face was full of seriousness as he looked up at Dugu Bo.

His tone was filled with complete trust and certainty:

"With Grandpa protecting me, I only need to focus on building a solid foundation so that I can bring you honor and protect Sister Yan Yan in the future."

Isn't that right?

Before Dugu Bo could answer, Chen Jieqi continued:

"My grandson's martial soul—the Heart of Naru—is an ultimate, holy, and luminous martial soul, possessing properties such as purification, heat, and dissolution."

When used on oneself or teammates, it can provide divine enhancement and purification of negative effects.

When used against an opponent, it erodes and dissolves their soul power, and its scorching heat accelerates the loss of physical strength, thereby achieving the purpose of restraint or victory.

Therefore, the primary choice for the grandson's soul ring enhancement is to increase all attributes, followed by enhancement of the Light and Holy attributes.

Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction:

"Xiaoqi, you have your own plans, and Grandpa will fully support them, after all, you are precocious."

"You've shown extraordinary potential since childhood, so what are your thoughts, Soul Beast?"

Although Chen Jieqi is only 6 years old, his behavior is not what one would expect from someone his age.

Dugu Bo did not delve into this matter, but instead treated him like his own grandson.

Thanks to Chen Jieqi's help over the past few years, Dugu Yan's martial soul backlash has been greatly alleviated.

Even Dugu Bo himself was somewhat restrained, which made him much more relaxed in the past few years.

With Chen Jieqi's awakening and performance, Dugu Bo saw hope. It would be best if he could completely resolve the hidden flaws in his own martial soul.

If this problem can't be solved, then when I'm gone one day, my granddaughter, Dugu Yan, will have someone to take care of her.

"When choosing a soul beast, the first choice should be one with the holy attribute, followed by one with the light attribute."

Animals like the Scarab, the Bright Bird, and the Radiant Pegasus are all suitable.

This choice not only maximizes the enhancement of one's own martial soul characteristics.

Furthermore, there's a high probability of gaining amplification or enhancement to soul skills.

Chen Jieqi thought for a moment and then said to Dugu Bo.

"Xiao Qi, your plan is correct. After our Soul Masters reach their Soul Power bottleneck..."

Acquiring a spirit ring and gaining spirit skills is only one aspect; more importantly, it's about strengthening one's own martial spirit.

Highlighting strengths and minimizing weaknesses is the key to steady and long-term success.

The same applies to families like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Zong Yu family and the White Tiger Dai family; not only do their combat strength far surpass that of Soul Masters of the same stage, but their potential is also greater.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is known as the "Number One Beast Martial Soul" not only because it possesses a physique surpassing other beast martial souls of the same level, but also because of its fierce and domineering lightning attribute.

Dugu Bo sighed.

The Azure Serpent of the Dugu family is a high-level martial soul, while the Azure Serpent Emperor, after its evolution, is a top-level martial soul.

But in terms of both physical strength and attributes, it's nowhere near as good as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex...

Watching the two conversing so eloquently, Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with happiness and admiration. She urged them on:

"Then let's get going. It's not difficult to find these soul beasts under a thousand years old in Sunset Forest."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded slightly, preparing to set off.

Chen Jieqi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly grabbed Dugu Bo's hand:

"Grandpa, don't rush. Please test my physical strength first, and see how many years of spirit rings my body can withstand."

In the early days, the number of years a Soul Master could absorb a Soul Ring was directly proportional to their physical abilities. My grandson certainly didn't want to follow the rules and end up absorbing a Soul Ring that was around 400 years old.

"Xiaoqi, are you sure?"

This is just your speculation; in case anything goes wrong...

Even if Grandpa forcibly interrupts your absorption to prevent your body from exploding.

But the long-term consequences can be severe, even affecting your future.

Dugu Bo looked at Chen Jieqi and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Grandpa is right, little Qi, your talent is already one in a million."

There's no need to take that risk; following the established path will allow you to far surpass other Soul Masters at the same stage.

Dugu Yan nervously chimed in.

Looking at the cautious Dugu Bo and the anxious Dugu Yan, Chen Jieqi felt a warmth in his heart, but still spoke with a firm expression:

"Grandpa, Sister Yan Yan, I know you mean well, but talent is just the starting point."

Since you have a natural talent advantage over others, you should maintain that advantage; a quick start leads to continuous progress.

Absorbing a spirit ring beyond its lifespan not only accelerates the increase in spirit power level, but also makes the original spirit skills more powerful.

At the same time, as I meditated and prayed, a voice whispered faintly in my ear.

"Geniuses do what ordinary people cannot do," meaning they must be faster than others from the very beginning.

Furthermore, you must strengthen your foundation every time you make a choice; only then can you reach the top.

Looking at Chen Jieqi, who was only 6 years old but had a determined expression and resolute gaze,

After considering for a moment, Dugu Bo slowly nodded and said seriously:

"Grandpa can grant your request, but only this once."

If you fail, then honestly follow the steps and abandon this dangerous idea in your mind.

"It's a deal!"

Looking at the excited Chen Jieqi in front of him, Dugu Bo rubbed his temples.

His main reason for agreeing was his precocious intelligence and extraordinary abilities, which he had displayed since childhood.

And that tiny sliver of expectation in my heart.

......

An hour later, Dugu Bo returned with a dying insect.

It is about 7 inches long, rather rounded, and oval in shape overall. Its body is covered with white scales.

It reflects a dazzling white light in the sunlight, as if it is wearing a layer of white armor, and the crescent-shaped top shell has six serrated edges.

This is the "Sacred Scarab" with about 700 years of cultivation.

"Xiao Qi, although your body strength could withstand 700-800 years when you were just tested,..."

However, for safety's sake, I chose one around 700 years old. You should quickly kill it and absorb its spirit ring.

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jieqi stepped forward without hesitation to deliver the final blow, plunging it into eternal slumber.

Suddenly, a bright yellow spirit ring filled with a sacred aura slowly appeared above the scarab beetle's body.

"Xiao Qi, are you really planning to absorb this spirit ring?"

If you underestimate yourself, even if Grandpa can interrupt your absorption in time and save you...

As a result of the backlash, you will be unable to absorb new spirit rings for a year, thus hitting a bottleneck.

Have you really thought this through?

Dugu Bo looked at the spirit ring and asked seriously again.

"Grandpa, I'm confident. Please trust my judgment!"

Chen Jieqi looked at Dugu Bo with a firm gaze.

"Good luck, little Qi!"

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, also pumped her fist in encouragement.

"Thank you, Sister Yan Yan."

Dugu Bo then nodded and did not try to persuade him further.

Dugu Yan, standing beside him, watched Chen Jieqi's every move with bated breath, her eyes even showing a hint of anticipation.

Once Chen Jieqi successfully absorbs this scarab spirit ring, which surpasses the limits of spirit rings...

Subsequently, they acquired a foundation that others could not match.

It's unimaginable how powerful Chen Jieqi will become in the future.

Chen Jieqi summoned the Heart of the Naaru, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the scarab's soul rings.

Guided by his soul power, the bright yellow soul ring quickly flew over and landed on Chen Jieqi's head.

At this moment, Chen Jieqi's bones also emitted slight cracking sounds under this powerful pressure.

A surge of scalding energy rushed into his body, and in an instant, he felt as if his insides were burning, and his body trembled violently.

Chen Jieqi couldn't help but sigh inwardly; if it were anyone else, the energy of the spirit ring would probably have already begun to enter their body.

They couldn't withstand it, bleeding from all seven orifices, and some even exploded and died.

However, his physique was different from ordinary people from a young age, and his attributes were of the same origin.

Under the guidance and channeling of powerful spiritual energy, it never exceeded the limits of its own physical endurance.

During the absorption process, the scarab's soul ring energy seemed inexhaustible.

Chen Jieqi's body was tempered again and again, and as time went by, his expression relaxed.

Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still carefully observing Chen Jieqi.

Based on his extensive experience, the most dangerous period has passed, and there is a high chance of completing the absorption.

However, we'll have to wait and see; until the very last moment, no one knows how it will end.

Throughout history, the Douluo Continent has never lacked geniuses, and many of them share Chen Jieqi's thoughts.

However, the results were all extremely disastrous, with not a single success story.

Three hours later, Chen Jieqi's trembling stopped and his breathing gradually became steady, indicating that the absorption of the soul ring was coming to an end.

Seeing that Chen Jieqi's condition had stabilized, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan felt a great weight lifted from their shoulders; it seemed they had succeeded.

As the bright yellow spirit ring landed beneath him, Chen Jieqi felt a lightness in his body.

I felt refreshed and invigorated, as if all the pores on my body had opened up, and my soul power also felt like it had increased significantly.

"Grandpa, Sister Yan Yan, I did it!"

After opening his eyes, Chen Jieqi smiled.

"Okay, okay..."

My grandson has the makings of a god!
