Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 17 Holy Light's Protection, Evil God's Guardian

The stronger the body, the more powerful the soul power bursts it can withstand, and naturally, the more powerful the soul rings with higher age can be.

Although the spirit ring of the Radiant Unicorn brought considerable pressure to Ye Qing, it was not capable of bursting him.

It was already the limit for him to feel some discomfort. As time went on, this spirit ring would be completely absorbed by Ye Qing and transformed into his power.

The pressure brought by the spirit ring was not too unbearable for Ye Qing.

During the previous three months of training, Ye Qing had run extensively in environments with increased gravity, and was already accustomed to the feeling of his body being compressed by gravity. The process of absorbing the spirit ring, in addition to the experience of being compressed by gravity, also brought a feeling of swelling and pain.

Overall, the process of absorbing a spirit ring is quite easy.

Judging from Ye Qing's current condition, Mu En and Ye Feng's assessment of his physical strength was indeed correct; his limit should be able to be increased by about another hundred years.

"Seven hundred years is seven hundred years. According to their theory, the Light Unicorn is not so easy to encounter. The strength of the spirit ring is enough to make up for the flaw of the age."

With this thought in mind, Ye Qing accelerated the process of refining the soul ring's soul power, constantly circulating the meditation technique to transform this soul power into his own strength.

At a certain moment.

A sharp sound, like shattering glass, suddenly rang in Ye Qing's mind. He felt as if he had broken some kind of shackle, and his strength suddenly surged.

Soul power is growing stronger, and martial spirit is maturing.

As Ye Qing continued to refine the soul power, the soul power within his body experienced two more leaps. At a certain moment, the soul power suddenly surged, and Ye Qing could feel that each time the soul power leaped, his strength would increase by one point.

Three hours passed quietly.

The last bit of soul power was also refined by Ye Qing, and the soul ring that had been floating beside him was completely integrated into his body.

First spirit ring – absorption complete!

Ye Qing suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his golden pupils.

"roar--"

A loud tiger roar resounded in Ye Qing's throat, and a strong surge of soul power rose from his body, instantly tearing his outer clothes to reveal his streamlined, strong muscles. A pair of pure white, radiant wings suddenly unfurled from his back.

If it weren't for that tiger's roar, one wouldn't be able to tell at all where Ye Qing showed any characteristics of a tiger-type soul master.

Oh no, there was a pattern on his forehead that looked like the Chinese character for "king," but compared to the character for "king," this pattern looked more like three overlapping letters "V," and it was golden.

"Congratulations, my dear grandson! You have successfully absorbed your first spirit ring and become a spirit master!" Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, then handed Ye Qing a crystal ball that looked extremely familiar.

"Come on, let's test your soul power level!"

Ye Qing took the crystal ball and poured soul power into it. A small number then appeared inside the crystal ball.

13.

"Level 13!"

Normally, absorbing a soul ring can only increase the basic level by one. In the previous three months, Ye Qing consumed a large amount of rare and precious herbs. In addition to strengthening his body, those good things could also increase his soul power.

With the addition of this Bright Unicorn Soul Ring, which is over three hundred years old and exceeds the standard age limit, Ye Qing was able to achieve a triple jump, directly advancing from level ten to level thirteen.

Moreover, Ye Qing had a feeling.

That means the soul power in his body hasn't been fully digested yet. He just needs to settle down for a while, and he will be able to break through to level fourteen naturally.

Ye Feng wasn't surprised by this level; it was within his expectations and made sense. He was more interested in what kind of soul skill Ye Qing could obtain from the Light Unicorn.

Is it an offensive soul skill, a defensive soul skill, or a supportive healing ability?

"My dear grandson, what is your soul skill?"

Ye Qing glanced down at his own spirit rings, then raised his hand and threw a beam of light at Ye Feng.

Immediately afterwards, an oval-shaped golden bubble enveloped Ye Feng. Of course, this was not a bubble, but a soul power shield.

"Holy Radiance Protection, a defensive soul skill, can consume soul power to form a shield that can block an attack no more than three times the strength of the shield," Ye Qing said.

"How's your soul power consumption?" Ye Feng asked again.

"Look at the amount of soul power I output. The most basic shield doesn't even require one percent of my soul power. A full-power output can drain my soul power." This demonstrates the advantage of the Douluo Continent Martial Soul System. As long as you acquire a soul ring, the skills within the soul ring can become the instinct of a soul master, just like innate talent abilities.

Ye Qing naturally understood all the functions of this soul skill after obtaining the soul ring.

The Soul Skill "Holy Radiance Blessing" is naturally not as simple as Ye Qing described.

His description of Ye Feng was indeed correct. If it were released against someone else, it could only form a defensive shield that was no more than three times the amount of soul power he had used.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

However, if it is released at himself, it will not be three times the soul power, but will consume a fixed one-tenth of the soul power, which can block an attack that is no more than three levels higher than him.

In other words, with his current Soul Master level 13 cultivation, consuming one-tenth of his power to activate Holy Radiance Protection would allow him to block a Soul Venerable's full-force attack. Furthermore, if the attack's intensity doesn't reach the shield's limit, the shield won't be broken directly; instead, it will be consumed, still maintaining its defense against Ye Qing.

The defense modes are completely different for others and for oneself.

Because this soul skill has another name besides Holy Radiance.

It is called—Guardian of the Evil God.

It was precisely because its effect on itself was so overwhelming that it didn't seem like a soul skill that a soul beast like the Light Unicorn could produce that Ye Qing didn't mention its effect on himself, but only its effect on others.

That's already abnormal enough.

One of your shields requires others to expend three times the soul power to break it. If someone of the same level spends half the soul power to create a shield, others will work themselves to death and still not be able to break it.

On the contrary, he was able to unleash his full power and slaughter everyone.

Of course, this soul skill also has a drawback, which is that it is vulnerable to being surrounded.

If you use all your soul power to create shields, and you don't have any extra soul power to fight, then once the attackers break the shields, you'll basically be waiting to die.

However, it can also be a life-saving trump card in critical moments.

"Very good!" Ye Qing was right. The effect of the shield on others alone was already very satisfactory to Ye Feng.

"A god-tier skill in one-on-one combat!"

This is Ye Feng's evaluation of this soul skill.

"Now that you have successfully absorbed its spirit ring, this thing should naturally be yours to absorb as well!" After saying that, Ye Feng took out another item and handed it to Ye Qing.
