Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 401 Ye Cailan's Nighttime Attack

"Tell us, how many hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast spirit rings did you manage to obtain in the ocean?"

Bibi Dong, Shui Lanxin, and the others looked at the red soul ring on Dugu Bo's body and were very curious about how the little guy got it. So they pulled Ye Liangchen aside and asked him about it.

"Back then, Blood-Eyed Douluo led three 100,000-year-old guardian beasts to raid Seagod Island, including the Giant-Toothed Silver-Striped Shark, the Silver Moon Three-Headed Flood Dragon, and the Black-Scaled Demon Flood Dragon, all of which I captured alive. Later, we helped the guardian beasts of Seagod Island exterminate the Demonic Tiger Whale King. During our reconnaissance, we encountered the Wenyao Fish King, the Bull Shark King, the Sea Eagle King... The depths of the ocean are simply terrifying. When those 100,000-year-old soul beasts saw us, they started fighting without saying a word."

"Faced with a 100,000-year spirit ring delivered to my door, I had no choice but to accept it without ceremony. In that operation, we killed a total of 14 100,000-year spirit beasts. Some of the 100,000-year spirit rings were reserved by Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, and the others and are kept in my spatial treasure."

Ye Liangchen had no choice but to explain to the women, letting them know the terror of the deep sea.

"Hiss! You've got some serious guts, kid."

When the women heard that Ye Liangchen had acquired so many 100,000-year soul rings, they all gasped in astonishment.

"Grandma Dean, Aunt Lingyuan, I have a 100,000-year-old soul beast soul ring and a divinely bestowed soul ring here. Which one would you like to choose?"

Ye Liangchen asked the two women for their opinions. Anyway, he had enough of his 100,000 soul rings to choose from.

"Xiao Chen, you arrange it for us!"

Shui Lingfeng and Ling Yuan felt that there was no need to choose a 100,000-year soul ring, since such a soul ring was a rare treasure that was one in ten thousand for a soul master.

"Then let's absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring!"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Liangchen directly equipped the two women with divinely bestowed soul rings. Their martial souls, one with ice attribute and the other with fire attribute, would be most effective at absorbing divinely bestowed soul rings.

"Alright then! Let's begin stripping the spirit rings."

Shui Lingfeng and Ling Yuan sat down cross-legged, each revealing their nine soul rings and beginning to peel them off.

"Click...click..."

"Pfft pfft..."

With two crisp sounds, the ninth soul rings of both women were shattered.

"It hurts so much...it hurts so much."

"You brat, hurry... use your skill to heal Grandma."

The moment the soul ring was stripped away, Shui Lingfeng and Lingyuan immediately felt what it meant to be torn apart by a thousand cuts, especially the pain of their souls being ripped apart, which was worse than death.

"Ouch! It looks so painful."

When Bibi Dong, Shui Lanxin, and the other girls saw the two girls' miserable state, they immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

"Whoosh..."

"Holy Light Healing Technique"

Ye Liangchen put the two women's separated soul rings back into his game inventory, and then immediately used his healing skill to heal the two women.

"Mmm..."

"If it weren't for Xiao Chen's powerful healing skills, I really wouldn't dare to forcibly remove the soul ring."

Under the healing spell of Holy Light, Shui Lingfeng and Lingyuan were immediately revived and their souls were perfectly repaired.

"You brat, I don't know how you got through that."

Shui Lingfeng recalled what Ye Liangchen had said before: in order to replace the first Azure Vine Soul Ring, he had to strip away eight Soul Rings at once, and she dared not even think about the pain he felt.

"Chief of the Water Clan, Xiao Chen is a prodigy! Naturally, we cannot compare to him."

Ling Yuan smiled gently. She had only lost her ninth soul ring, and it was already so painful. If she had to lose all her soul rings, she would definitely rather die.

"No pain, no gain! Back then, I lost eight spirit rings at once, while you can't even handle losing just one."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. It was indeed very painful for him to strip away eight soul rings at once. Even now, thinking back on it makes his scalp tingle.

"Alright, you're pretty good, kid."

"I'm about to absorb a spirit ring. In the past few years, my spirit power has increased from level 94 to level 95. I hope this divine spirit ring will allow me to advance even further."

Shui Lingfeng smiled helplessly at Ye Liangchen's smug look, then took out the Divine Soul Ring Bead and prepared to absorb it.

"Grandma, give it your all!"

"Sister Bing'er managed to get her ninth spirit ring to 20 years, so you should at least get your ninth spirit ring to 13 years or more!"

In order to motivate Shui Lingfeng to push her divinely bestowed soul ring age to a higher level, Ye Liangchen revealed Shui Bing'er's ninth soul ring age to provoke her.

"Two hundred thousand years?"

Shui Lanxin and the others did not expect that Shui Bing'er would be so fierce.

"I'll try my best, but I can't compete with you young people anyway."

"Click..."

Shui Lingfeng nodded, then crushed the divinely bestowed soul ring bead and began to absorb the soul ring with all her might, thinking: My granddaughter is so powerful, I, as her grandmother, cannot fall behind.

"Click..."

Ling Yuan followed suit, focusing all her efforts on increasing the age of her spirit rings.

……

"Whoosh..."

Three hours later, Dugu Bo was the first to successfully absorb the 100,000-year soul ring, and his soul power reached the peak of level 96, just a little short of breaking through to level 97.

After a Soul Master reaches the Super Douluo level, each subsequent level is incredibly difficult to advance. A 100,000-year Soul Ring did not significantly increase Dugu Bo's Soul Power.

"Senior, how is it? Is this 100,000-year spirit ring any good?"

Ye Liangchen approached Dugu Bo and inquired about his situation.

"That's quite good."

Dugu Bo nodded excitedly. A titled Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring, regardless of his skills, would bring him a lot of prestige just from that red spirit ring alone.

"Senior, I now have a better spatial treasure, so I'm returning this Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch Soul Guidance Device to you."

Ye Liangchen took out the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and returned it to Dugu Bo, since the old man needed to use this soul tool to refine pills with Yang Wudi and his brother.

"Oh, you don't need it anymore?"

Dugu Bo chuckled as he put away the soul tool. He knew he needed it to store medicinal herbs when refining pills or gathering herbs in the mountains to ensure their efficacy wasn't lost.

"Senior! There's really no need. My spatial treasure can also hold living things," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"All right!"

Dugu Bo chuckled. Although he had given this treasure to Ye Liangchen and was now taking it back, he felt a little embarrassed, but he did need it now.

"Swish..."

Three more hours passed, and Ling Yuan and Shui Ling Feng finished absorbing the energy, successfully obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring.

Shui Lingfeng's soul ring age reached 14 years, while Ling Yuan, having only two soul bones, reached her limit when her soul ring age reached 12 years.

At this point, Shui Lingfeng's soul power reached the peak of level 95. Ling Yuan had already reached the peak of level 95 before, and now she has directly broken through to level 96.

"This feels so good."

At this moment, Shui Lingfeng and Lingyuan were experiencing the effects of the 100,000-year soul ring, and it was truly different.

Shui Lanxin, Bibi Dong, and the others watched the scene of Shui Lingfeng and the other two obtaining 100,000-year soul rings. They felt that there was nothing in this world that could stump Ye Liangchen, this monstrous genius. He could change soul rings as he pleased and make sure that others were not harmed. This kind of ability was simply something that only gods possessed.

After successfully equipping Shui Lingfeng and the other two with 100,000 spirit rings, Ye Liangchen began setting up a large-scale Nine-Star Spirit Gathering Array in this small forest.

"Whoosh..."

Once the Nine Stars Gathering Spirit Array was formed, energy from all directions began to flow into the forest, making people feel particularly comfortable.

"That's amazing!"

Bibi Dong, Shui Lanxin, and the others were amazed by the rich energy in the forest.

"Master, this formation is better than the one you set up on Seagod Island."

At this moment, Yingmei and Xiaolan were extremely excited. Being able to cultivate in such an environment would allow them to improve their cultivation level much faster.

"Absolutely. The combination of the super-simulated environment and the Nine Star Spirit Gathering Array will definitely be better," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"Xiao Chen, get one for the Tianshui Sect's mountain gate as well."

Shui Lanxin immediately took Ye Liangchen into the air and flew towards the Tianshui Sect. With the Spirit Gathering Array, the disciples in the sect could cultivate faster.

After setting up the formation, Ye Liangchen gathered the Shui Lanxin sisters, Shui Lingfeng, Ye Suling, Bibi Dong, Ye Cailan, and Dugu Bo together and passed on the Mountain Opening Seal to them to strengthen their overall strength. As for the Sea Overturning Seal and Earth Overturning Seal that followed, there was simply no time to teach them now.

It took Ye Liangchen three days and three nights to finally get Shui Lanxin and the others a clue.

After taking care of these matters, Ye Liangchen returned to his residence and began to sleep soundly.

……

After sleeping for a day, Ye Liangchen vaguely sensed someone quietly entering his room.

Ye Liangchen then used his divine sense to check and found that the person was Ye Cailan. He simply ignored her and continued to sleep, since this woman used to often sneak into his bed and sleep with him.

"Hmm..."

But then, Ye Liangchen found that his mouth was being gagged and that Ye Cailan was starting to touch him inappropriately, which was different from before.

"Sister Lan, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Ye Liangchen opened his eyes helplessly, thinking: I can't even sleep peacefully. It seems this woman is going to cause trouble now.

"Xiao Chen, of course I want to discuss cultivation with you! Didn't you teach me the Mountain-Opening Seal technique these past few days? There are still many things I don't understand, and you need to guide me through them."

Ye Cailan smiled charmingly, then removed their equipment and transformed into a female hooligan, taking the initiative to play games with Ye Liangchen.

"ha…"

Ye Cailan, now a Super Douluo, transforms into a female war goddess, venting all her emotions on Ye Liangchen.

"Sister Lan, are you challenging me?"

Ye Liangchen was quite surprised to see Ye Cailan so fierce. He then stopped being polite and began to counter her moves, exchanging blows with the woman.

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, how's my strength?"

While launching a fierce attack, Ye Cailan also activated her Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, tightly enveloping the two of them inside.

"Not bad! But I'm a demigod, Sister Lan, you'd better be careful." Ye Liangchen smiled calmly.

"Xiao Chen, I'm a level 96 peak Douluo. If you dare to underestimate me, I'll make you pay."

Cultivators cultivate their souls; those who cultivate are superior beings. After the two began cultivating, they became completely immersed in it.

"Xiao Chen, I'm out of strength, quick... give me support."

Two hours later, Ye Cailan had lost countless times and was now completely exhausted. She pitifully begged Ye Liangchen for mercy.

"Haha...! Sister Lan, didn't you say you were a level 96 peak Douluo? Is that not enough?"

Ye Liangchen joked that he had fused with the million-year-old torso and soul bone of the Mountain Dragon King, and even Gu Yuena had been defeated by him. Ye Cailan wanted to challenge him, which was simply overestimating her abilities.

"I'm only at level 96, at my peak, of course I'm no match for you."

Ye Cailan rolled her eyes with a charming smile, thinking to herself: This little guy is so amazing, I don't know how Bing'er and the others managed to withstand it.

"Whoosh..."

"Holy Light Healing Technique"

Ye Liangchen immediately used his ninth soul skill to heal Ye Cailan.

"Eek...!"

"This feels so good, Xiao Chen, come on, let's fight another three hundred rounds."

After being fully revived, Ye Cailan was instantly filled with fighting spirit again and launched another fierce attack on Ye Liangchen.

"Blue, take it easy..."

Just then, Bibi Dong's voice rang in Ye Cailan's mind, making her shudder.

"Your Holiness, how...how did you know?"

Ye Cailan immediately understood that Bibi Dong was using her mental power to transmit a message to her, so she immediately replied, but her actions did not stop.

"Of course! I live right next door to you, how could I not know?"

"So what if you know? Pope, you can't object anyway."

"Cai Lan, what am I objecting to? But you can't hurt him! Otherwise, I'll get mad at you."

"Pope, don't worry, I'm no match for him, how could I possibly hurt him? Let me tell you..."

"Wow! That's amazing!..."

"Your Holiness, I have to get back to work now, so I'll stop talking to you now."

Ye Cailan cut off her communication with Bibi Dong and continued her cultivation with Ye Liangchen.

"This woman, she really is..."

At this moment, Bibi Dong recalled the scene of her using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with that guy, and a burning passion rose in her heart.

"Cai Lan, you've really ignited my passion! Just wait and see how I punish you!"

"A pure heart remains undisturbed by the heavens..."

Bibi Dong inwardly scoffed, mentally drawing a few small circles around Ye Cailan, before immediately reciting the "Ice Heart Mantra" to suppress the burning passion within her.
