Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 129 The Wonders of a Divinely Bestowed Soul Ring

At Tianshui Academy, Shui Lanxin and others learned some things about gods from Ye Liangchen, and their goals for the future became even greater.

"Xiao Chen, did you see your sister Na when you went to Star Dou Forest? Did she do anything to you?"

"You told us before that she is a god, is that true?"

The Shui sisters were worried that the little guy would be taken advantage of by that white-haired beauty. This was their child whom they had raised, and he was still so young. If that old woman laid a hand on him, how much suffering would he endure! Thinking about these things, the two sisters felt very distressed.

"Little Chen, tell us about Sister Na."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others also showed gossipy expressions. This guy had stayed in the Star Dou Forest for many days, and something interesting must have happened during that time.

"Pfft...!" Ye Cailan couldn't help but giggle as she looked at everyone's expressions.

"Sister Na is indeed a god. She was seriously injured before. I stayed in the Lake of Life for so long to help her heal. Now she has recovered to the strength of a first-level god."

"However, for some reason, she will not come out until I become a god."

"This time I got more than 100 soul bones from her, all of which are over 30,000 years old, as well as divinely bestowed soul rings. After that, when everyone breaks through, they won't need to hunt soul beasts; they can directly absorb the divinely bestowed soul rings."

"The maximum lifespan of a divinely bestowed soul ring can reach 10 years. As for how many tens of thousands of years you can obtain, it all depends on your own maximum endurance."

Ye Liangchen was speechless at the women's improper expressions, so he directly revealed what he had gained on this trip.

"More than 100 soul bones over 3 years old? It feels like Xiao Chen is being kept by that Sister Na."

Dugu Yan, Xue Wu, Gu Qingbo, Yu Hairou and the others were utterly astonished when they heard that this little guy had actually obtained more than 100 ten-thousand-year-old soul bones.

"You can think that way without any problem. That Sister Na will definitely cling to Xiao Chen in the future." Ye Cailan smiled. The master had long taken a liking to the little guy, otherwise how could he have let him enter the Dragon Palace?

Shuiyue looked at Ye Liangchen with a mischievous grin, wondering if her little boyfriend had really been won over by Sister Na. "Then my sister and I didn't get the first place, and I'm a little unhappy."

"Sisters, what are you saying? I brought back the soul bone for you all." Ye Liangchen felt helpless looking at Xue Wu and the other girls' silly antics.

"If you talk about Xiao Chen like that, do you still want the soul bone?" Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at Xue Wu and the others. These good sisters of hers are really unreliable.

"Little Chen, we're sorry. We'll accept whatever punishment you give your sister." Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, and the other girls immediately came over and pretended to apologize to Ye Liangchen.

"Girls, Xiao Chen has done so much for you. If you really want to repay him, you should all marry him as your wives in the future."

Shui Lingfeng looked at the group of girls' stunning figures; each one was beautiful and slender, all of them fertile beauties. It would be quite nice if they could all become wives for her stinky son.

"Grandma Dean, it's all up to you," Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Ye Lingling and the others thought this method was good.

"Get out of here! You guys want to, but I don't!" Shui Bing'er immediately objected. With so many sisters joining in, the little guy would be overwhelmed with work.

"Bing'er, don't! We should keep the good stuff in the family. We're all good sisters, we can squeeze in and sleep in the same big bed." Xue Wu teased Shui Bing'er with a smile.

"Alright, girls, stop being silly."

"Xiao Chen, what is a divinely bestowed soul ring?"

The Shui Lanxin sisters stopped the crazy girls from playing pranks and asked Ye Liangchen about the divinely bestowed soul rings, something they had never heard of before.

"Hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings is actually a product of the rules of the divine realm. However, for god-level powerhouses, they can use divine power to create soul rings, which are called divinely bestowed soul rings."

"When I went to the Lake of Life to obtain my fifth spirit ring, it was only condensed for me by the Ancient Tree of Life; I didn't hunt any spirit beasts. Besides the colors white, yellow, purple, black, and red, there are also golden million-year spirit rings, which are called divine rings. After I become a god, my fifth spirit ring will probably turn green-gold."

Ye Liangchen told the women a lot about spirit rings, broadening their horizons.

"Xiao Chen, back then you argued with me in class about million-year-old soul beasts. Now that I think about it, what you said back then must have been true."

Su Lin recalled that when the little guy was six years old, he had put forward those ideas that were beyond her comprehension. Could this kid have known about them back then?

"Teacher Su Lin, a million-year-old soul beast can be called a divine beast, and the soul ring it produces is golden."

"Sister Na told me that in the depths of the endless sea, there is a Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a cultivation level approaching 100 million years. Its cultivation level is equivalent to a level 99 Limit Douluo, which can also be called a demigod. In the far north, there is also an Ice Silkworm with a cultivation level of 100 million years. However, it is just a silkworm baby, which can only act cute and boast. Its combat power is negligible."

"When a soul beast's cultivation reaches 200,000 years, it can be called a ferocious beast. Every 100,000 years, it will undergo a heavenly tribulation, and its strength will become stronger and stronger. However, very few soul beasts become ferocious beasts. After a soul beast's cultivation reaches 100,000 years, it will undergo a heavenly tribulation 1000 years later. If it passes the tribulation, it will become a ferocious beast. If it cannot withstand it, it will die. The 100,000-year-old snow eagle that was sacrificed to Aunt Lan a few years ago did not pass the heavenly tribulation."

"Some soul beasts, after 100,000 years, choose not to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation and instead transform into human form to cultivate again as humans, thus avoiding the Heavenly Tribulation. After transformation, they become human children, and they can condense soul rings on their own until level 60. After that, they also need to acquire soul rings in order to continue cultivating."

"Although a 10-year-old soul beast has taken human form, it has not completely become human. When it is killed, it will produce a 10-year soul ring and a 10-year soul bone. When they are below level 60 and in their infancy, their mental strength is not strong enough to cover up the soul beast aura emanating from their soul. Living in the human world is very dangerous. Title Douluo can tell at a glance that they are soul beasts in human form. Soul Douluo can also detect the soul beast aura by using their mental strength. A soul beast that has taken human form is just a mobile 10-year soul ring and a 10-year soul bone."

Ye Liangchen transformed into a charlatan, popularizing some secrets about soul beasts to the women—knowledge not found in the encyclopedia of soul beasts.

The women also transformed into elementary school students, listening quietly to Ye Liangchen's explanation. Even Ye Cailan did the same. She had only learned about some ferocious beasts at the Lake of Life, and knew nothing about the million-year-old divine beast.

"My goodness! There's so much more to know about spirit rings and spirit beasts. What we learned before was just some basic knowledge, just scratching the surface."

"Isn't that right? If it weren't for Xiao Chen's extraordinary encounter, we probably would never have seen this knowledge before we died."

Shui Lanxin and the others finally broadened their horizons, and at the same time, they realized their own insignificance.

"Xiao Chen, you have a divinely bestowed spirit ring. Could you give one to Teacher Mu Qingxue? She's already level 89, and we're thinking about her ninth spirit ring. We're a little scared when we heard you mention the deep-sea demon whale king that's nearly a million years old."

Shui Lanxin asked Ye Liangchen for a divinely bestowed soul ring, intending to give it to Director Mu Qingxue as her ninth soul ring.

"Aunt Lan! There's no problem."

"I'll also keep one of Aunt Ye's ninth spirit rings for her. After she absorbed the spirit bone last time, I saw that her spirit power seemed to have reached level 87. I have spirit bones here, so I'll let her absorb five more to help her reach the Title Douluo level. That way, she will become the first healing-type Title Douluo, and a healing-type Title Douluo who can fight."

"Everyone can choose a set of these soul bones of mine; they're of no use to me anyway."

Ye Liangchen brought back the soul bone and the divinely bestowed soul ring so that he could give a cheat code to the important people around him.

"Little Chen, thank you."

Ye Lingling was moved to tears; this little guy was so generous to her and her mother.

"Sister Ling, we're all family, no need to be so polite."

Looking at Ye Lingling's tearful face, Ye Liangchen thought to himself that this woman was indeed made of water. No wonder she was so excited that she was soaked when she fused with his martial soul.

"Lingling, you should just marry Xiaochen in the future. Aunt Ye has wanted to be Xiaochen's mother-in-law for a long time." Dugu Yan teased from the side, making Ye Lingling blush bright red.

"Haha...! Yanzi is right, we're ready anytime. Whenever Little Chen needs us, we'll marry him."

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others said with smiles, "Anyway, we're all in the same boat now, so let's not let the good stuff go to outsiders."

"Get out of here, we haven't agreed yet!"

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were also left speechless by their sisters' antics, as each of them was preoccupied with their own boyfriends, which was truly absurd.

"Aunt Lan, call Director Mu here and have her absorb the soul bone and the divinely bestowed soul ring to directly help her advance to the title of Douluo."

"Splash, splash..."

Ye Liangchen took out a large pile of soul bones from his soul tool and threw them on the table.

"Buzzing..."

As soon as the soul bone appeared, it emitted a dazzling array of multicolored light, blinding everyone.

"Besides Bing'er and Yue'er, each of you seven girls will take five pieces. Adding the one piece you absorbed before, you can complete a full set of Soul Bone Sets."

Upon seeing Ye Liangchen take out the soul bone, Shui Lanxin instructed the seven young girls to act quickly.

"Little Chen, then we won't stand on ceremony."

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Dugu Yan, Xiao Mao Mi, Ye Lingling, Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, and Shen Liuyu all chose suitable soul bones according to their own needs.

"I suggest everyone wait until level 60 or 70 before absorbing it; for now, rely on your own cultivation."

Ye Liangchen thought for a moment and decided to take everyone to Seagod Island to level up. The assessment would include hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts, so he reminded the girls not to be too impatient.

"Okay! We'll do as you say."

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others did not plan to absorb it now. After all, they were still young and in the prime of their cultivation years. They would first rely on their own cultivation to break through, and then use the soul bone to break through the bottleneck when they got older.

Ye Liangchen also selected five soul bones for Dugu Bo and Ye Suling respectively, and then took another twenty or thirty to keep on his person, which he could use to win over other geniuses in the future. Then he threw the remaining soul bones to Shui Lanxin and asked her to distribute them to other high-ranking members of the academy.

At this moment, Shui Lanyue brought three Soul Douluos: Mu Qingxue, An Qi, and Li Suyan.

"Xiao Chen, it's up to you. Director Mu is currently level 89, while An Qi and Li Suyan are level 84 and 86 respectively. It's estimated that they can also break through to the Title Douluo level within 10 years."

Shui Lanxin distributed the soul bones to the three women, since they were also core members under her command.

"Dean, we're a little embarrassed by such a big gift." The three women had already obtained two soul bones a few years ago, but they didn't expect to get four more now.

"Director Mu, this is a divinely bestowed soul ring. First, absorb a soul bone and break through to level 90. Then, crush this golden bead. The energy inside the bead will form a soul ring. When you absorb the soul ring, you must do your best to withstand the pressure and make the soul ring reach a lifespan of 10 years."

"Divinely bestowed spirit rings will automatically generate spirit skills based on the characteristics of your martial spirit. Sometimes I think that our martial spirit might already possess spirit skills at the moment of awakening, but they just haven't been activated yet. Spirit rings are like the keys to activate spirit skills. And the spirit rings needed by spirit masters are obtained by hunting spirit beasts. After those spirit rings react with one's own martial spirit, the resulting spirit skills will always have the characteristics of spirit beast attacks."

Ye Liangchen explained to Mu Qingxue how to use the divinely bestowed soul ring.

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

Mu Qingxue directly absorbed a piece of leg soul bone. An hour later, her soul power broke through level 90. Then, following Ye Liangchen's instructions, she crushed the divinely bestowed soul ring bead.

"Buzzing..."

After the golden bead shattered, it transformed into a powerful mass of energy, which soon formed a white circle.

"Director Mu, begin absorbing. The color of the spirit ring will change as you absorb it," Ye Liangchen reminded him from the side.

"Chirp chirp..."

Mu Qingxue summoned her Albatross Martial Soul and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Ye Liangchen had never seen Mu Qingxue's martial soul before, and he was quite surprised to find that it was an albatross, a seabird.

The women also gathered around, eagerly anticipating the effects of the divinely bestowed soul ring.

"Buzzing..."

When the white spirit ring was placed on Mu Qingxue, its color gradually changed to yellow, then purple, then black. After turning black, it remained black for two hours before gradually turning red until it became completely dark red.

"ha…"

After the spirit ring turned deep red, Mu Qingxue let out a delicate shout. Clearly, the powerful energy had put a lot of pressure on her.

"Director Mu, you must hold on, otherwise the soul ring color will revert to black again." Ye Liangchen closed his eyes and used his divine sense to transmit his voice to the other party, while checking the other party's internal condition. He found that the problem was not serious.

Shui Lanxin and the others followed closely, fearing that Mu Qingxue would fail.

"Buzzing..."

"Swish..."

Three more hours passed, and the red spirit ring finally stabilized. A powerful aura erupted from Mu Qingxue, and she finally advanced to the level 92 Title Douluo.

"Director Mu succeeded."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others burst into cheers. They didn't blink the whole time, keeping their eyes fixed on Mu Qingxue, hoping to learn from her experience of absorbing a divinely bestowed soul ring.

"That's incredible!"

Shui Lanxin, Shui Lingfeng, and other high-ranking members finally witnessed the wonder of the divinely bestowed soul ring.
