Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 212 Fifth Soul Skill: Divine Grace!

After an unknown amount of time, Han Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the black soul ring in front of him, as black as ink jade, and couldn't help but grin!

Han Feng possesses profound foundations. Whether it is his soul or his blood and qi, he far surpasses his peers. The quality of his soul power is even comparable to that of a low-level Soul Emperor. With these multiple factors combined, the age of Han Feng's fifth soul ring has reached a staggering 36,000 years, which is 6,000 years higher than the requirements of the God of Defense!

This is a timeframe that many Soul Emperors can only dream of!

Han Feng even had a feeling that this was not his limit. If he were willing to challenge his limits, he might be able to extend the lifespan of this divinely bestowed soul ring by another two thousand years!

But Han Feng didn't do that. It wasn't that Han Feng was afraid, but that if he did, it would take too long. When he was absorbing the soul ring, he suddenly realized that he was still in seclusion at home. If he spent too much time on this divinely bestowed soul ring, no matter how worried Zhang Lingling and Han Dang would be, the secret of his divine inheritance would probably be exposed!

To avoid worrying his parents and to prevent others from discovering the secret of his divine inheritance, Han Feng made a choice: when the age of the divinely bestowed soul ring reached 36,000 years, he completely absorbed it!

Even if you add these two thousand years, it's only thirty-eight thousand years, and the difference in years is less than ten thousand years. For Han Feng now, the difference is not particularly large.

Even so, Han Feng's soul power was raised to level 51 because of this divinely bestowed soul ring, and he was only one step away from level 52!

If others knew that Han Feng had barely cultivated his soul power in the past year, yet had directly broken through from level 47 to level 51, they would probably be so depressed they'd die!

However, the breakthrough in soul power was not the most surprising thing for Han Feng. What surprised Han Feng the most was the soul skill that this soul ring gave him!

Fifth Soul Skill: Divine Grace!

Unlike the previous four soul skills, this soul skill has no fire attribute whatsoever; it is a completely defensive skill!

When Han Feng releases this soul skill, it will cover an area centered on the Blazing Shield. Within this area, Han Feng can consume soul power to grant anyone in the area the same level of defense as him. The more people he designates, the more soul power he will consume. At the same time, Han Feng can also consume soul power to plunder the defense of soul masters in this area and add it to himself!

It was indeed plunder, an unreasonable plunder. It didn't require the other party's consent. As long as the other party's cultivation level was lower than Han Feng's and they were within the range of Han Feng's fifth soul skill, Han Feng could plunder their defense. Even if the difference was only one level, Han Feng could still plunder!

If the target takes the initiative, even if his cultivation level is slightly higher than Han Feng's, Han Feng can still obtain the target's defensive power.

Of course, the higher the cultivation level and the greater the number of targets, the more soul power will be required.

Given Han Feng's current level of soul power cultivation, if he wants to grant others the same level of defensive power as himself, he can select a maximum of five targets; if he wants to plunder, he can only plunder a maximum of five Soul Masters at the Soul Sect level.

If the number increases further, Han Feng's battle time will be greatly shortened, and he will probably face the same predicament as the final of the Soul Master Competition, where he only has three minutes left!

Furthermore, the effects of granting and plundering cannot be applied to the same person simultaneously. Otherwise, if Han Feng were to grant and plunder simultaneously, with the effects stacking infinitely, wouldn't he be like someone stepping on their own foot and taking off from the spot?

The range of this soul skill is also limited by Han Feng's soul power. With Han Feng's cultivation level, covering a circular area with a radius of 100 meters is the best choice.

With this soul skill, the first people Han Feng thought of were Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong!

Ning Rongrong's auxiliary soul skill that amplifies defensive attributes goes without saying—if conditions permit, Ning Rongrong could unleash five beams of defensive light, landing on five different targets, and then have them stolen by Han Feng, giving Han Feng an unparalleled boost!

Dai Mubai's first, third, and fourth soul skills can increase his own defense by 300%. If Han Feng obtains his defense, even without using other soul skills, Han Feng's defense will reach the level of a Soul Emperor. If Han Feng's various soul skills are added together, Han Feng can even stand in front of Zhao Wuji and let him unleash his full power to bombard him until Han Feng's soul power is exhausted!

And don't forget, Han Feng's Flame Dragon Armor and Flame Dragon Divine Robe can be attached to other people. Even if Han Feng takes away Dai Mubai's defense, with the Flame Dragon Armor, Han Feng doesn't have to worry about Dai Mubai becoming vulnerable!

Since obtaining this soul skill, Han Feng's mind has become very active, and all sorts of battle tactics have emerged!

For example, use the Radiant Array to surround the area of ​​Divine Grace.

For example, you can use the Immovable Flame to protect the target whose defense you have taken away, and then stack all the defense onto the Immovable Flame.

For example, plundering the enemy, boosting one's own forces, and so on—the list goes on and on!

"Hahaha! Thirty-six thousand years, you haven't disappointed me, kid!" Just as Han Feng's mind was flooded with countless ideas, the God of Defense's gratified voice rang out in his mind again. It was clear that the God of Defense was very happy.

Besides Han Feng exceeding his requirements, Han Feng's soul skill was also a factor.

The God of Defense went to great lengths to lay a solid foundation for Han Feng's defense, and this divinely bestowed soul ring was the first step of the God of Defense. This soul skill was carefully selected by the God of Defense, who spared no effort to solidify it in that divinely bestowed soul ring!

Otherwise, with Han Feng's martial soul attributes, how could he only have simple defensive soul skills without any fire attribute characteristics?

Han Feng, unaware of the God of Defense's good intentions, was startled to see that the God of Defense was still paying attention to him. At the same time, he tentatively sent a message to the Divine Ancient Pearl: "Senior? Can you hear me?"

"Don't call me 'senior'! It sounds too distant. Since you are my successor, just call me Elder Yu!" To Han Feng's surprise, the God of Defense could indeed receive his message. As if sensing Han Feng's hesitation, the God of Defense continued, "As your affinity with the God of Defense increases, your control over the Divine Ancient Pearl will also improve. In the future, if you have anything you want to say to me, just convey it through the Divine Ancient Pearl!"

"That's great!" Han Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim with delight.

"But I might not listen!" At this moment, the God of Defense's unreliable voice rang out again, and Han Feng could only chuckle awkwardly upon hearing this.

"Haha!" Han Fengqian laughed twice, his face turning red with embarrassment at having his thoughts read.

Han Feng had originally been thinking about whether he could have the God of Defense as his grandfather!

"Alright! Get to the point!" the God of Defense said impatiently.

Han Feng quickly suppressed his embarrassment and asked seriously, "Elder Yu, it's like this, I have a friend who was also chosen by a god, but that god is domineering and fierce, and is based on malevolent energy. So I want to ask, what is the origin of that god, and is my friend fortunate enough to inherit his divine position?"

After Han Feng asked this question, the God of Defense did not give him an answer immediately.

Just as Han Feng was about to lose his temper, the voice of the God of Defense slowly came from the Divine Ancient Pearl: "Don't ask too much about that deity's origins; it's pointless. As for your friend, don't worry. Even if that deity didn't choose him, I can still have the God of Attack bestow a divine inheritance upon him. Although it won't be as powerful as that deity's, it will still be able to ascend to the God Realm!"

Han Feng keenly noticed that when the God of Defense mentioned "that person," there was a faint scrutiny and heaviness in his tone!

This startled Han Feng!

Who is the god of defense?

In the memories of the God of Defense, Han Feng saw him fight head-on against the God of Asura and the God of Destruction. Such a fearless person actually had someone who made him wary.

"It's not just your friend. Although his girlfriend's talent is a bit lacking, she can still barely inherit a third-level god's power. If I help you out, that girl has recently reached a bottleneck, so she can also inherit the power. Your girlfriend's talent is quite good; she should be able to become a second-level god. I'll even go so far as to shamelessly ask her for a first-level god's power!"

"As for the other little ones, you don't need to worry about them. They are all top-tier candidates for godhood, and gods will naturally come knocking on their door. Only that little girl who has transformed from a soul beast is a bit troublesome. You know, kid, my relationship with Asura and Destruction isn't very good..."

The God of Defense paid no attention to what Han Feng was thinking and continued talking to himself.

After hearing what the God of Defense said, Han Feng was no longer surprised at all. He only felt a warmth in his heart and, for the first time somewhat awkwardly, said to the God of Defense, "Elder Yu, you..."

"What? Moved?" Looking at Han Feng's slightly trembling pupils through the flat surface in his hand, the God of Defense in the vast ancient palace grinned and said mockingly, "Since you are my successor, I naturally cannot let you grow old alone in this divine realm like I have!"

Upon hearing the God of Defense's words, Han Feng suddenly recalled the scene he had witnessed in the God of Defense's memories that day. The usually carefree Han Feng felt a lump in his throat: "Elder Yu..."

Before this, Han Feng had always regarded the God of Defense as a powerful and lofty deity. Only now did Han Feng realize that the God of Defense was a living person, and he felt close to the God of Defense, regarding him as an elder.

In the realm of gods, the God of Defense, observing Han Feng's change in attitude, felt a ripple of emotion in his weathered eyes and murmured, "Foolish child!"

But the God of Defense snapped at Han Feng, "What kind of fuss is this?! Let me tell you, don't think you can relax your cultivation of qi and blood defense just because you passed the second test! I'm also telling you, the final test for a god requires your essence, qi, and spirit to all reach the level of a Limit Douluo. If you dare to slack off, hmph!"

The God of Defense gave a cold snort laced with a strong sense of threat. Han Feng's already sore eyes twitched, and he rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "That old man really doesn't give people a chance to be moved!"

Of course, he couldn't say this to the God of Defense, so Han Feng could only nod and say, "I will remember Elder Yu's teachings!"

After that, the God of Defense remained silent. The Divine Ancient Pearl trembled once more, revealing the contents of the third trial of the gods to Han Feng.

The third test of the God of Defense: Defense of the Soul. Defeat the Darkness of the Soul, and you will be rewarded with 15% affinity with the God of Defense and a divinely bestowed Soul Bone!
