Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

"Increase the lifespan of the spirit rings by 500 years?"

"And there's no upper limit!?"

Ao Yin was overjoyed. Generally speaking, once a Soul Master obtains a Soul Ring, the Soul Ring's lifespan is fixed and will not change.

But there is no such restriction for him; the age of his spirit rings can be increased without limit, which is too heaven-defying.

"In other words, even if my initial spirit ring only has a ten-year limit, I can increase its age to ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even one million years through daily check-ins!"

Ao Yin became more and more excited as he thought about it. He had twin martial souls and innate level 20 soul power, but now he didn't have a single soul ring, and his cultivation had hit a bottleneck.

"A spirit ring! I'll head to the Soul Hunter Forest tomorrow and try to get my first spirit ring," Ao Yin thought to himself.

Then, my gaze returned to the system notification.

[1 sign-in attempt remaining.]

[Have you checked in?]

Without hesitation, Ao Yin recited it again silently.

"Check-in!"

[Ding! Successful check-in at Notting Academy cafeteria. Congratulations, host, you have received a Level 1 reward: a clue to the Soul Beast "Fire Glass Serpent"!]

Ao Yin was slightly taken aback. It wasn't a reward for the age of a spirit ring, and it couldn't even be called a complete reward. Instead, it was a clue to a spirit beast...?

The Fire Glass Serpent, just hearing its name, exudes a fierce and malevolent aura that burns the heavens. He immediately clicked on the clue details to read them carefully.

[Fire-Glazed Teng Serpent: A ferocious beast belonging to the sub-dragon species, possessing a trace of pure dragon blood. It has nine heads, and its scales and feathers are crimson like molten lava. By nature violent and bloodthirsty, it is born with the power to control the innate Southern Bright Fire. During the ancient reign of Emperor Yao, it manifested and wreaked havoc on the world, its flames burning mountains and villages, ravaging the entire land. The Human Emperor dispatched Yi with his divine bow to slay it, severely damaging its race; now, only a handful remain.]

[Habitat Clue: Within the Heavenly Dou Empire, in the Soul Hunting Forest.]

"A sub-dragon-type soul beast, born with the Southern Bright Fire, whose tribe was severely damaged by the ancient archer Yi?"

hiss--

Ao Yin gasped. So this was a clue to an ancient soul beast?

"System! Why are you giving me clues about this kind of ferocious beast?"

Ao Yin was on the verge of tears. Did the system really think that with his level 20 innate soul power, he could kill such an ancient ferocious beast and make it his soul ring?

While this dragon-like spirit ring is indeed a perfect match for his [Panlong Staff] martial spirit, play is play, but don't joke around with your life!

The fact that even the ancient emperor sent his descendant, wielding a divine bow, to personally eliminate the scourge demonstrates just how terrifying the Fire Glass Serpent was.

The so-called Da Yi was a powerful figure in the ancient times of Douluo Continent who once shot down nine Golden Crow demons.

Ao Yin had a clear understanding of his own strength. Even with innate level 20 soul power, without the support of soul rings, he was not capable of killing this ferocious beast.

Therefore, Ao Yin basically concluded that this clue to the second-level reward was essentially useless to him.

He sighed, "It's a pity, it seems I can't always get the Soul Ring age limit reward by signing in."

There was no way around it; Ao Yin had known as early as in Holy Soul Village that the sign-in rewards were numerous and varied.

To obtain a soul ring with a lifespan of ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even one million years through daily check-ins, one not only needs to consistently check in but also needs luck, and the process can take up to a year or even several years.

"No matter what, let's get the first spirit ring first," Ao Yin muttered to himself.

After dinner, Ao Yin, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng returned together. On the way, Ao Yin asked Wang Sheng to ask the academy for a few days' leave for him.

Even Wang Sheng was slightly taken aback. Based on the strength Ao Yin had shown before, Wang Sheng had the illusion that Ao Yin already had a spirit ring. It wasn't until he heard that Ao Yin was going to obtain his first spirit ring that he realized that Ao Yin didn't have a spirit ring yet!

At this moment, Ao Yin's strength became even more unfathomable in his mind.

...

...

Early the next morning.

Ao Yin pushed Xiao Wu, who was fast asleep on top of him, aside and headed to the Soul Hunter Forest alone.

The Soul Hunter Forest is not very close to Notting Academy, but it is not very far either.

About half a day later, an ancient forest appeared.

The forest was surrounded by an iron fence more than ten meters high, with thick steel pillars and barbs on both sides. Armored guards were stationed at the entrance.

"stop!"

As soon as Ao Yin approached, he was met with a low snort from the guard, "Show your warrant!"

"A warrant?"

"Hahaha, isn't this Xiao Ao?"

Just as Ao Yin was stopped by the guards, a familiar voice came from behind him.

He turned around and saw Yu Xiaogang slowly walking towards him, with Tang San following behind him.

Tang San sneered, "Ignorant fools! You think you can enter the Soul Hunting Forest without a token from a major family or sect? What wishful thinking!"

On the way here, Tang San had already learned from Grandmaster that although the Soul Hunting Forest was formed naturally, if the soul beasts inside were hunted indiscriminately without restraint, they would have long since perished.

The reason this place still exists is because humans have intentionally kept it in captivity. This also means that it has been treated as a resource and is not free. You can't get in without connections!

Therefore, when Tang San saw Ao Yin arrive alone, he knew that Ao Yin was destined not to be able to even get through the door.

"The other woman!"

Yu Xiaogang gently scolded him, somewhat dissatisfied with Tang San's arrogant personality. He had clearly told him yesterday that a small lack of patience could ruin a great plan, but today he still ignored his words.

He smiled at Ao Yin and said, "Little Ao, you're here to get a spirit ring too, right? If you want to go in, your teacher can help you!"

"teacher!"

Tang San frowned behind him. Ao Yin had never shown any respect to his teacher from the beginning, but his teacher seemed to have a special fondness for Ao Yin.

"help me?"

Ao Yin sneered, knowing full well that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Yu Xiaogang was already used to Ao Yin's cold attitude, but he didn't mind. Instead, he took out a token.

Upon closer inspection, there are three totems on it: a sharp sword, a small hammer, and a dragon!

"This token belongs to my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan. With this, you can freely enter and exit the Soul Hunter Forest!"

"I can guide you in and help you obtain the most suitable spirit rings, but only if you agree to become my student!"

Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone gentle and persuasive.

After all, Ao Yin is a rare innate full soul power, and his martial soul is a top-tier martial soul. He and Tang San, who has twin martial souls, each have their own advantages. If he can recruit both of them, it will be of great use in proving his martial soul theory!

"Teacher! You..."

Tang San then realized that the Grandmaster had not given up on Ao Yin.

Seeing that Tang San was about to break down, Ao Yin suddenly raised his voice several octaves and said, "Becoming a disciple? It's not impossible..."

"But you can only choose one: me or Tang San!"

hum-

Tang San, standing to the side, felt a jolt of excitement and immediately cursed, "Ao Yin, you bastard who was born of a father but raised by no mother, don't even think about trying to sow discord between me and my teacher!"

"Teacher, nothing this kid says is believable; don't be fooled by him!"
