Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 301 A Cheat-like Boost

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's absorption of the divinely bestowed soul rings attracted Poseidon's attention, so she floated down from the top of the Sea God Mountain and came to the front of everyone.

"You're not going to let them receive the Sea God's reward?"

Poseidon asked Ye Liangchen if he could produce two divine soul rings at once, so it seemed that the little guy had quite a lot in stock.

Poseidon didn't ask anything about Ye Liangchen possessing a divinely bestowed soul ring. This little guy was the inheritor of the Goddess of Life, so it was normal for him to have a divinely bestowed soul ring.

"Of course I want the Sea God's reward."

"Promoting them to Soul Emperor now will allow them to increase their Soul Power more, since the opportunity of the Sea God's Light is only valid for the first assessment."

Ye Liangchen brought everyone to Seagod Island this time with the aim of taking advantage of the Seagod's Light. He didn't expect everyone to pass the Black-level assessment at that time. Unexpectedly, he used the energy of the Demon Whale King to upgrade everyone's strength. As a result, everyone passed the Black-level assessment, and even the weakest Bai Chenxiang passed the fourth Black-level assessment.

"Heh...! You're quite the schemer, but it is indeed a good one."

When Poseidon heard Ye Liangchen's plan, he was both amused and exasperated. He had to admit that the little guy really knew how to make full use of the opportunity presented by the Divine Examination.

If Huo Wushuang and his sister don't level up now, even after passing the first test and obtaining the divinely bestowed soul rings in half a year, they will only have just stepped into the Soul Emperor realm. This is because their soul power is already at level 60, and without soul rings, they cannot upgrade their soul power. However, after advancing to the Soul Emperor realm, if they cultivate in the Sea God's Light for another half year, and the siblings complete the first test, they can advance to the High-Level Soul Emperor realm.

"Why don't we just use the Soul Bone to upgrade to level 70 directly? That way, when we cultivate in the Light of the Sea God in the second half of the year, we can at least increase our Soul Power by two or three levels."

"Yes! Yes!"

"Bing'er is already level 69, and Yue'er and Xuewu are level 68. Our soul power is only level 67. If we want to reach level 70, we need to cultivate in the Light of the Sea God for at least another six months. We can't wait any longer."

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu and the others discussed it for a while, and then took out their respective soul bones to enhance their soul power. Since everyone had a complete set of soul bones, when would they ever use them?

Especially Shui Yue'er, who had passed the Nine Trials of the Sea God, now had a higher soul power than her sister and Jin Ling'er, so she had to catch up, otherwise she would lose face.

"Yue'er really needs to improve her strength." Poseidon also felt that Shui Yue'er's strength was a bit low.

"Are you all aiming to collectively reach the Soul Saint realm?"

"Couldn't you have waited for us?"

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan have also reached level 67 and 66 in soul power, but since they do not have soul bones to upgrade, they can only rely on cultivating in the light of the sea god to quickly advance to the Soul Saint level.

"Is this really necessary to be so dramatic?"

Jin Yue'er, Qing Ming, the Qian Gu brothers, and Bai Chenxiang are only level 57 now, and the gap between them and these people is getting bigger and bigger.

"Little Chen, you can give them some of those soul bones you have."

"The difficulty of the upcoming assessments will definitely increase for everyone. The more capable you are, the more secure you will be."

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er suggested to Ye Liangchen that since these people had already joined Tenglong Pavilion, it wouldn't hurt to distribute some soul bones to them.

Shui Bing'er considered this in order to prevent any accidents. If these people were not strong enough and died in the subsequent assessment, Ye Liangchen would not be able to explain himself to their elders.

"Master, there's no need to send us any more soul bones."

"That's right! Coming to Poseidon Island to participate in the assessment is already an incredible opportunity for us."

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Jin Yue'er and others understand that one should not be too greedy, otherwise people will look down on them.

"I'll arrange it for everyone."

Ye Liangchen took out the remaining dozen or so ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, including offensive, defensive, and speed-type ones, and then distributed them to everyone, also leaving two for Huo Wushuang and his sister.

"Master, we've emptied your coffers, how can you accept this?"

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Bai Chenxiang, Qingming and the others looked at the ten-thousand-year-old soul bones in their hands, all of which were over thirty thousand years old. The favors they owed were growing ever greater.

"Absorb it all! Strengthen your power."

Ye Liangchen reminded everyone, and also threw the Divine Soul Rings to them so that they could level up and continue to fleece the Sea God's Light.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

"Your Excellency's kindness and virtue are beyond repayment. I can only follow you forever and serve you faithfully."

After accepting the soul bones, Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Jin Yue'er, Bai Chenxiang, and the others all knelt down before Ye Liangchen.

"It's a pity I'm not a woman, otherwise I could just offer myself to him."

"Yes, yes..."

Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, and the other boys teased each other, their cheeky expressions making one want to punch them.

"Stay away from me." Ye Liangchen was almost stunned by what these guys said.

"How could they say such disgusting things? Sisters, let's beat them up!"

The Tianshui girl group was stunned by Feng Xiaotian and his group's words, and immediately raised their fists, making a punching gesture.

"hold head high…"

"Meow..."

"Our dragon claws and cat claws are incredibly sharp. Would you like to see them?"

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing unleashed their martial spirits to scare these shameless guys.

"Ladies, spare me! Spare me! ... Please let me go!"

"The mother dragon and the tigress are unleashing their fury! Run! Haha..."

Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, and the others immediately fled to a nearby place and then began to absorb the soul bone.

"Pfft...!"

When Hu Liena, Jin Yue'er, and Bai Chenxiang heard Feng Xiaotian and the others say they would repay each other with their bodies, they exchanged smiles, secretly glanced at Shui Bing'er and the others, shook their heads helplessly, and then walked to the other side to begin absorbing the soul bones.

"You're really rich, kid!"

Looking at the scene before her, Poseidon suddenly felt incredibly poor.

"Senior, please don't take offense. In your eyes, a demigod-level expert, soul bones are nothing but broken stones," Ye Liangchen said calmly.

"I never said that."

Poseidon, a demigod, already had a full soul bone, but he wouldn't dare say that his soul bone was just a broken stone.

"Sister Yue'er, don't absorb that ten-thousand-year-old right arm soul bone of yours. Instead, absorb this one hundred-thousand-year-old one. Your Nine Trials of the Sea God are a bit more difficult than everyone else's, so you need to strengthen your power."

Ye Liangchen tossed the 100,000-year-old right arm soul bone of the little rabbit to Shui Yue'er, since his own arm soul bone was already full and he didn't need it.

"This is the soul bone that Xiao Wu left behind when she sacrificed herself for you. Aren't you going to absorb it?"

As the women looked at the 100,000-year-old soul bone, they immediately recalled the scene of the little rabbit's sacrifice.

"Brother Chen, does this soul bone contain a charm skill?"

Zhu Zhuqing recalled that Xiao Wu had used her charm skill during the competition, which had completely captivated the male students of Barak Academy.

"Zhu Qing, you're right. This soul bone has a charm skill. If I, a grown man, absorb this soul bone and use the charm skill, wouldn't people laugh me to death?"

Ye Liangchen nodded and said that he really didn't want to absorb the soul bone left behind by Xiao Wu.

"Haha...! Just imagine, when Xiao Chen uses her charm skill, the scene would be absolutely gorgeous."

"Brother Chen, why don't you absorb this soul bone?"

"Haha...! We think it's great too."

Upon hearing that this 100,000-year-old soul bone possessed a charm ability, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Hairou, and the others immediately urged Ye Liangchen to absorb it with great excitement.

"Alright! Stop fooling around, everyone. Let's hurry up and improve our strength." Shui Bing'er stopped everyone from fighting, so that Poseidon wouldn't laugh at them.

"Yes, eldest sister." The women immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing their respective soul bones to try and reach level 70.

"So, your sword spirit's 100,000-year spirit ring was given to you by a 100,000-year spirit beast?"

Poseidon sat quietly on a stone slab and asked Ye Liangchen about the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Yes! Back then, Xiao Wu..." Ye Liangchen told Poseidon about Xiao Wu's sacrifice.

"This little rabbit is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but it has no brains." Upon hearing about Xiao Wu's situation, Poseidon was filled with emotion. He had never seen such a foolish 100,000-year-old soul beast before.

……

Three days later, everyone had finished absorbing the divinely bestowed soul rings. Among them, Jin Ling'er successfully upgraded her seventh soul ring to 100,000 years. In addition, she absorbed a soul bone, and her soul power reached level 75.

Shui Bing'er absorbed two soul bones, one of which was a 100,000-year soul bone. In addition, she pushed her divinely bestowed soul ring to 75,000 years. With the accumulation of double soul power, her soul power directly reached level 75.

Shui Yue'er directly absorbed three soul bones, raising her seventh soul ring to 75,000 years, which allowed her to catch up with Shui Bing'er.

"Haha...! My soul power has finally caught up with that of my eldest sister and Ling'er."

"My mermaid martial soul true form is also very beautiful, second only to Xiao Chen's martial soul true form."

After catching up with Shui Bing'er and Jin Ling'er, Shui Yue'er was overjoyed and even activated her Martial Soul True Form to show off to everyone.

"Shuiyue'er, what's so great about you?"

Others teased from the sidelines, but they were also a little envious. After all, no one dislikes a beautiful Martial Soul True Form, especially girls like Yu Hairou and Zhu Zhuqing who possess Beast Martial Souls.

"You can all be envious. But the age of my seventh spirit ring is a bit low. If I could get one that's 100,000 years old, that would be great."

Shui Yue'er was very envious of Jin Ling'er. She was the future Sea God, and she felt very embarrassed that she couldn't get her seventh soul ring for 100,000 years.

"Ling'er is a pervert."

Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena and the others couldn't understand how this girl did it.

"You don't need to say that. Actually, this 100,000-year soul ring is nothing special."

Jin Ling'er smiled modestly. She explained that she had taken the Transformation Pill given to her by Ye Liangchen, which allowed her to retain the ten thousand years of cultivation of a mythical beast after transformation and possess a powerful physical body, enabling her to break through to the ten thousand years mark when she reached the seventh soul ring.

"Ling'er, I feel like you're showing off."

"Exactly! If I could have my seventh spirit ring for 100,000 years, I'd be laughing in my sleep."

Looking at Jin Ling'er's playful smile, Shui Bing'er and the others felt that this girl had been influenced by Ye Liangchen.

"Sister, no matter what, we've decided to make our eighth spirit ring last for 100,000 years."

"That's natural."

Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er's seventh spirit rings both reached 75000 years, so they are confident that their eighth spirit rings will reach 100,000 years.

"Sister Yue'er, your eighth spirit ring must be 100,000 years old, and it may even be the spirit ring of a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast. So don't absorb the remaining torso spirit bone and right leg spirit bone yet, lest you be unable to absorb the 100,000-year spirit bone later."

Just then, Ye Liangchen walked over from a distance. Remembering Shui Yue'er's fourth trial as the Sea God, which was probably to help Xiao Bai hunt down the 100,000-year-old evil orca king, he reminded her.

Shuiyue'er has now absorbed four soul bones, and she already possesses two 100,000-soul bones, which isn't too bad.

"My eighth spirit ring came from a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast?"

Shui Yue'er felt a lot of pressure when she heard Ye Liangchen's words. Absorbing a 100,000-year-old divinely bestowed soul ring was not a problem, but absorbing a soul ring from a 100,000-year-old soul beast was a different story.

"Did Senior Poseidon tell you?"

Shui Bing'er, Jin Ling'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others stared at Ye Liangchen curiously, feeling that this guy was hiding too many things from them.

"You'll understand when the time comes," Ye Liangchen said with a mysterious smile.

"Couldn't you have told me? Absorbing the spirit ring of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast requires withstanding the powerful soul shockwave. I'm not confident I can handle it right now! What if I die? I'd be so heartbroken!"

Shuiyue threw herself into Ye Liangchen's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and then used her coquettishness to try to extract some information.

"Moon, what do you mean by death? Don't talk nonsense." Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at Shui Yue'er. This girl was too unreliable.

"Sister Yue'er, with me here, nothing will happen."

Ye Liangchen calmly said that he had almost cultivated his "Refining God Technique" to the sixth level, and could launch a soul attack at any time. The soul shock of a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast was simply not worth mentioning.

"Okay! I believe you."

Shuiyue'er believed that Ye Liangchen would not let her take any risks.

Currently, in addition to Jin Ling'er, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er reaching level 75, Xue Wu has reached level 74, Yu Hairou, Zhu Zhuqing, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, Shen Liuyu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling have reached level 73, and Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan have reached level 72.

Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Jin Yue'er, Qing Ming, the Qian Gu Brothers, and Bai Chenxiang all reached level 62.

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu haven't absorbed the soul bones given to them by Ye Liangchen yet, as they want to save them to try and break through to the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo realms. Therefore, the siblings' current soul power is the same as the others, at level 62.

"Whoosh..."

"You young people are really something."

Just then, Poseidon floated down from Mount Poseidon. Seeing that the strength of these young people had improved significantly, especially the three girls Jin Ling'er, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er who had reached level 75, she felt very gratified.

"You flatter us, senior. In front of you, we are just a bunch of weaklings." Everyone smiled modestly.

"Alright! Everyone, hurry up and go cultivate in the Light of the Sea God! Don't show off in front of the seniors." Ye Liangchen reminded everyone not to be arrogant.

"Xiao Chen, you're already level 79. Don't you plan to level up to 80 first?"

Shui Bing'er felt that if Ye Liangchen raised his strength to the level of a Soul Douluo, he could continue to exploit the Sea God's Light.

"The Light of the Sea God isn't very effective for my current strength. I plan to attempt to reach the 666th step, complete the first Divine Trial ahead of schedule, and then I can get the Divine Trial reward and advance to Soul Douluo."

Ye Liangchen has been cultivating under the pressure of the Sea God's Light every day for the past six months, and he's had enough. He doesn't care about the remaining little bit of soul power improvement, since his cultivation speed is faster than theirs anyway.

"In the blink of an eye, Brother Ye has turned into Contra again. I just caught up a little bit, and he pulled away again." Jin Ling'er shook her head helplessly.

"A 16-year-old Soul Master—if word got out, the older generation of Soul Masters would definitely cry out: 'Is there any justice in this world?'"

"Let's hurry up and start cultivating!"

Shui Bing'er and the others felt immense pressure when they thought about Ye Liangchen becoming a Soul Douluo soon, so they all stepped into the Sea God's Light, trying their best to take advantage of it.
