Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

As if afraid that Xiao Xiao wouldn't understand the importance and urgency of the matter, Gong Changlong explained to Xiao Xiao before leaving:

"Soul beasts associated with good fortune and auspiciousness will emit special fluctuations after their death."

"If we don't store the soul beast's body in our storage soul tool to isolate the fluctuations in time, the surrounding soul beasts will rush towards us like madmen, and it may even trigger a small beast tide."

"But you don't need to worry too much. Old Master Song is a level 96 Super Douluo, and his martial soul is the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle. He is the fastest soul master on the continent."

"After you activate your spirit ring, Elder Song will activate his Martial Soul True Body to carry you. No spirit beast in this Star Dou Great Forest will be able to catch up with you."

Seeing the relaxed expression on Gong Changlong's face as he left, Xiao Xiao felt that he wouldn't be so relaxed for long.

She believed that the soul beasts chosen by God were not so simple.

As expected, the upstream bow-dragon confidently put a dose of veterinary medicine, enough for a 50,000-year-old soul beast, into the river.

After waiting for a long time, the golden tortoiseshell did not react at all.

With some doubts in his mind, he added another 50,000 years' worth.

The result was very disappointing; there was still no response.

Gong Changlong was now drenched in sweat.

Song Yunzhi, standing to the side, couldn't help but urge them on:

"Changlong, are you even capable? Why are you taking so long?"

Upstream.

Sensing something was amiss, Gong Changlong sighed, inwardly lamenting that the soul beasts required for the Divine Trial were indeed not as simple as they appeared on the surface. He then put all the beast medicines from his soul tool into the river.

This dosage far exceeded the amount he used when dealing with a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

He simply refused to believe that with this dosage, that soul beast wouldn't collapse.

Time passed slowly, and just when Gong Changlong was about to doubt whether his veterinary medicine had expired, the golden hawksbill turtle finally closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After waiting a while longer, Song Yunzhi was completely certain that the golden tortoiseshell was powerless to resist.

Under Song Yunzhi's instructions, Xiao Xiao activated the battle armor she was wearing, and with the power of her soul-guided longsword, she slashed down at the neck of the golden hawksbill turtle in the stream.

With a simple, effortless, and unimpeded motion, Xiao Xiao severed the golden tortoise's neck in two with a single stroke.

With the death of the hawksbill turtle, what appeared was not the ten-thousand-year-old black soul ring that Gong Changlong, Xiao Xiao and others had imagined.

Instead, it was a dazzling, blood-red soul ring.

"Alright, we've got the 100,000-year soul ring. Now it's up to you, Xiao Xiao."

Xu Shu reacted quickly, directly manipulating Xiao Xiao to release her soul power and put the 100,000-year soul ring on her body.

Then, Xiao Xiao was instructed to place the corpse of the golden hawksbill turtle into the storage soul tool. At the same time, while placing the corpse, Xiao Xiao used her mental power to probe the turtle's large stomach.

They transferred the living gold, about the size of a human head and with clear tooth marks on its surface, into the Moon Sea Cave.

After the whole process, Gong Changlong and Song Yunzhi hadn't even realized that Xiao Xiao had already put on a 100,000-year soul ring.

"Old Song..."

Xiao Xiao spoke with difficulty. At this moment, the soul power of the 100,000-year soul ring was gradually surging and flowing through the meridians around Xiao Xiao's body.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

As expected of a titled Douluo who has seen the world, Song Yunzhi quickly came to her senses after hearing Xiao Xiao's words, transformed into her Martial Soul True Form, and sped away with Xiao Xiao towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although it's unclear why the spirit ring suddenly turned red, there must be a reason why Xiao Xiao dared to absorb it.

On the broad back of the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, Xiao Xiao completely focused on absorbing the soul ring.

At this moment, the originally high-quality Thousand-Refined First-Grade Battle Armor, while emitting a dazzling light under the abundant soul power, also emitted a few groans of being unable to bear the burden.

Click—

Song Yunzhi, who was flying, used her spiritual power to probe Xiao Xiao.

Several cracks had appeared on the surface of Xiao Xiao's battle armor, which had transformed into a blue sun.

With her external battle armor nearing its limit, Xiao Xiao, who was absorbing spirit rings, was also not having an easy time.

As the soul power in the soul ring increased, Xiao Xiao felt as if the originally raging river had turned into a surging celestial river after its dam had burst, almost drowning her completely.

The meridians throughout my body suddenly swelled and throbbed with pain, as if they were about to burst at any moment.

On the contrary, the soul impact of the 100,000-year-old soul beast that had initially frightened her now seemed alright.

It was just a slight migraine and a brief moment of confusion.

She was used to this feeling.

Of course, while Xiao Xiao was suffering, Xu Shu wasn't having an easy time either.

In addition to the basic mini-game of killing soul beast models, the system also forced Xu Shu to split the screen and open two mini-games where he controlled his soul power like a snake to navigate a maze.

First, the soul power must circulate along the prescribed route, and incidentally consume the soul power brought by the soul ring.

Secondly, the soul power gained from eating too much must return to the dantian before starting afresh.

Finally, one cannot become too fat from eating too much soul power, otherwise it will get stuck in the dantian and cause a chain reaction of collapse.

Moreover, Xu Shu also discovered that it seemed that because he had never trained Xiao Xiao in this area, coupled with Xiao Xiao's young age and lack of experience, Xiao Xiao's ability to control her soul power was insufficient.

When his soul power is filled to a certain extent, it becomes extremely difficult for him to control the direction of his soul power.

This move was absolutely a miscalculation.

Seeing that the situation was about to completely collapse, Xu Shu pressed ESC to select a save file and revert to the time when Xiao Xiao first absorbed the soul ring.

The Milky Way turns upside down, the sun and moon alternate.

As the abundant soul power within her body gradually disappeared, Xiao Xiao returned to the moment when she first donned the 100,000-year soul ring.

This time, with her experience, Xiao Xiao understood that she didn't need to worry too much about the mental impact of the soul beast.

As long as you stay awake, you can absorb soul power.

However, despite knowing what to do, the difference in hardware still caused her to lose consciousness 20 minutes after absorbing the spirit ring.

After all, the 4000 points of spirit value boosted by the battle armor is still quite different from the 5000 points of spirit value required to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Xu Shu didn't have a good solution to this either. He could only repeatedly go back in time to increase his proficiency and the speed at which he could destroy the soul beast model, hoping that Xiao Xiao could last a little longer.

once,

twice,

three times,

......

Twenty-one times,

......

Thirty-two times.

This time, Xu Shu was incredibly close to success, and Xiao Xiao held on for a full hour and a half.

However, at the last moment, the remaining spiritual power of the golden tortoise shell was still able to launch a powerful attack.

As a result, Xiao Xiao exhausted her mental energy and fell into a coma. Her soul power went out of control, her meridians exploded, and her efforts were in vain.

Returning to the lobby and pausing the game, Xu Shu opened the previous recording and replayed his actions.

The flow of soul power has reached its limit each time.

The speed of soul power circulation is already the fastest.

With the help of AI, the golden tortoiseshell phantom has done its best to not miss a single one.

However, there is only one mouse. After operating on this side, the phantom of the soul beast on the other side will always let a few of them slip through the net.

Even with all his strength, Xiao Xiao's ability to last for an hour and a half was already at its limit.

It seems there's no way to help Xiao Xiao survive the absorption of the spirit ring.
