From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 103 Second Soul Skill? Mutation, a Thousand Years! [Bonus Chapter for Myself!]

"Spiritual beasts are extremely rare, and you barely qualify, so it's decided that it's you."

A yellow halo flashed in Chen Hong's eyes as he met the crimson eyes of the berserk baboon, whose entire body was bound by Blue Silver Grass!

The ferocity in the berserk gorilla's eyes began to fade slowly under the influence of the Sage's Ring and Sage's Eye. Reason and confusion began to return.

Then, Chen Hong, his eyes glowing yellow, stroked the berserk baboon's head and said gently, "Foolish child, do you understand the meaning of life?"

Everyone: "???"

However, the berserk baboon nodded blankly at Chen Hong.

Then, the Shrek Academy members saw Chen Hong transform into a Zen master, constantly explaining the profound truths of life, the plight of soul beasts, and their tragic futures to the berserk baboon. At each exciting and moving moment, the baboon even had tears in its eyes.

Four hours later

"Foolish child, have you understood?" Chen Hong stroked the head of the berserk baboon, dispersed the blue silver grass on its body, and asked gently.

With tears in its eyes, the berserk baboon clasped its hands together and slowly bowed to Chen Hong.

I don't go to hell, who goes to hell?

Master, I understand!

For the bright future of soul beasts, I should voluntarily sacrifice myself and become the cornerstone of the great cause of soul beasts!

Whoosh!

Then, to Xiao Wu's utter shock! And to the astonishment of the others, the berserk baboon wearing the Sage's Crown began to glow with a yellow light!

That kind of light was as pure as a soul, as pristine as the first wisp of melted snow from the Tianshan Mountains, directly piercing through Xiao Wu's psychological defenses and burning through the world perceptions of the rest of Shrek Academy!

Sacrifice!

How is that possible?!

How could a hundred-year-old, ignorant soul beast possess enough intelligence to offer itself as a sacrifice?!

Yes, although the berserk baboon's sacrifice was imperfect, its will still activated the sacrifice rules for soul beasts in the Douluo World!

The berserk baboon transformed into a beam of yellow light, its soul condensing above its head into a pale yellow, bright yellow, deep yellow, or pale purple...?

When that pale purple spirit ring appeared directly above Chen Hong's head, it was absorbed by him in an instant without any mental obstruction!

Click!

It was as if something had shattered!

thump!

The Gale Baboon, with a serene expression and hands clasped together, fell heavily at the feet of Chen Hong, whose eyes were closed. The Sage's Crown on its head fell off, spotless. It was devoid of life, its soul burned out, with no possibility of revival whatsoever!

If a soul beast at the 100,000-year level can sacrifice itself, then perhaps a soul beast at the 10,000-year level can also sacrifice itself. So why can't a soul beast at the 100-year level sacrifice itself?

The cultivation path of a soul beast is a continuous path of "cultivating divinity"!

What is the most valuable thing about a soul beast?

They are their "gods"!

What's truly terrifying is that Chen Hong, the spiritual soul master who has broken free from the shackles of his soul rings, has strayed further and further down the path of the "Tao" (the Way) as described in the saying "That which is above form is called the Tao," and is no longer someone that ordinary soul beasts can contend with!

Chen Hong merely granted the berserk baboon the right to choose death.

Is it to die knowing the truth, or to die with resentment in one's heart?

Although both options were death, Chen Hong used telepathy to explain his pessimistic view of the future of the Soul Beast race to the berserk baboon, expressing his desire to study Soul Beasts and give them more options for the future, while also needing the berserk baboon's cooperation.

Although I killed you, I killed you so that I would never kill you again!

If you are willing to believe in me, to believe in me, the human soul master who can grant clarity to ignorant soul beasts, then please become my power!

Although you die today, you are not dying for yourself alone, but for your people and for the future development of the entire world!

You can refuse me and die as an individual being!

You can also choose to believe me and die for the greater good of the community!

You arrogant fool! Make your choice!

In the dim, dense forest, pale blue silver grass and other strange plants emitted a faint glow.

In this fantastical dim light and deathly silence, a young man standing beside the head of a fallen, berserk baboon revealed an amusing smile. He silently bent down, concealing his strange eyes from others, until he picked up the spotless Sage's Ring, still radiating a faint golden glow, from among the fallen leaves and branches. Only then did he straighten up, his strange eyes sweeping over the silent, tense Shrek Academy members watching him.

His eyes were strange; his dark pupils, as black as an abyss, were surrounded by a yellow halo, and outside the yellow halo was a larger, pale purple halo. His yellow-purple eyes were as bright as a galaxy, radiating a strange spiritual fluctuation that was pure, peaceful, and serene, refreshing and invigorating, like a gentle breeze, yet also awe-inspiring, as if staring directly into an abyss!

What do those yellow-purple eyes represent?

This means that Chen Hong's second spirit ring has temporarily mutated into the lowest-level thousand-year spirit ring!

This means that Chen Hong's second soul ring broke through the Form Realm of soul rings without needing to comprehend it, and directly entered the Intent Realm!

Chen Hong opened his unusually bright yellow-purple eyes and smiled at the Shrek Academy members around him, whose expressions were complicated, saying, "Everyone, I am pleased to say that I have gained a deeper understanding of soul beasts."

"At the same time, it is also gratifying that the first martyr has appeared among the soul beasts. It is respectable, and as an act of respect for it, I will choose to use its body to continue to improve my research on soul beasts and to fulfill its righteous deeds." Chen Hong looked down at the berserk baboon beside him, his face was full of bright smiles, but his eyes were full of complex emotions.

Chen Hong took in all the expressions on Xiao Wu's face: her fear, Tang San's apprehension, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong's shock, and Zhao Wuji's ghost-like expression.

"You?! You bewitched this soul beast! And you even want to use its corpse! You're a demon! A devil who manipulates minds!!" As Chen Hong finished speaking, in the dim forest, Xiao Wu, her expression filled with fear, finally couldn't contain her anger and terror. She grabbed Tang San's small hand and angrily rebuked Chen Hong, her voice trembling and her body shaking.

"Hehe." Faced with Xiao Wu's terrified and angry rebuke, and the complicated expressions of the others, Chen Hong only gave a slightly complicated smile. Ning Quan appeared silently behind him like a ghost, holding his sword and silently watching everyone.

"Distance creates the unknown. I am far superior to you. I walk the 'Tao,' while you walk the 'tool.' Do you understand?"

"Want to know what the berserk baboon said to me at the end? Its words, translated, were: 'If I don't go to hell, who will?'"

"That which is above form is called the Way; that which is below form is called the instrument. If I do not go to hell, who will? This is for you, and it is also for me."

Chen Hong stood in the shadows of the forest, where the plants emitted a faint glow, his expression flickering in the light and shadow.

He turned and told Ning Quan to take the berserk baboon corpse and disappear into the shadowy forest, saying his last words: "The unknown has been planted in my heart, so I will wait for you at the academy. At the same time, I will share some of my research results with you. After all, if I fail, you can continue on."

"Let's go, Uncle."

Without waiting for any attempts to stop him, the boy left the group and vanished into the darkness.

hum!

A purple light flashed in Chen Hong's heterochromatic eyes, and he suddenly opened them somewhere in the forest! A crimson glint appeared in his eyes as he broke through the yellow halo!

Second Soul Ring: Mental Adrenaline!

An extraordinary level of mental control and sensitivity appeared in Chen Hong's mind. His brain began to work overtime, and Chen Hong discovered that his five senses, physical senses, and mental senses had all been enhanced several times over!

However, mental energy is being depleted at an alarming rate!

However, Chen Hong suddenly noticed something strange, which was...

Is the Sage Time effect broken?

Chen Hong frowned, a strange thought flashing through his mind:

Is the "wise man's time" ineffective?

so.
