Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 33 Reencounter with Xu Xiaoyu

"So much spiritual power, aren't we going to be rich!" Xie Xie stared in shock at the yellow spiritual power that was floating in the air and solidified into a tangible form.

"No, that's not true. Our bodies all have their limits. Those of us with two rings definitely can't handle it. Because we absorb spiritual energy evenly. With my mental strength, I can't withstand two thousand-year soul rings appearing at the same time. I estimate that when my two soul rings are close to five hundred years old, that will be my limit. Yang Zi's situation should be similar, maybe he'll absorb a little more than me. Perhaps only Gu Yue and Tang Wulin haven't reached two rings yet, and they might actually have thousand-year soul rings." Wang Jinxi explained, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

It's such a pity that so much spiritual power can't be fully utilized.

Xie Xie's expression was somewhat strange. He asked, "Are you sure?"

Wang Jinxi was taken aback. "Is there a problem?"

Xie Xie pointed to Lin Ci, who had already sat down cross-legged and was meditating.

His body was like a small vortex, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, seemingly without limit. Like an endless black hole, it continuously devoured everything outside.

……

"This…"

The staff at the Spirit Ascension Platform were completely dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief. They had worked at the Spirit Ascension Platform for many years and had seen all sorts of Soul Masters absorb spiritual energy, but they had never seen a method of absorption like Lin Ci's, which seemed to have no limits.

Even though there had been large-scale killings of soul beasts in the past, the absorption was limited, and the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't interfere too much as long as the energy wasn't excessively absorbed. But now, Lin Ci seems to have no limits when it comes to absorption methods.

"What kind of monster is this kid?" one of the staff members couldn't help but whisper.

"I don't know. Logically speaking, even a Soul Master with exceptional talent should have a limit to absorbing spiritual energy. This has completely shattered our previous understanding." Another staff member was equally shocked.

"Ms. Wu, I have to report this situation to my superiors," the staff member said seriously.

In any case, they must ensure that the interests of the Spirit Pagoda are not harmed. Therefore, this matter must be reported.

Wu Changkong frowned slightly, about to say something. But the door outside their observation room was suddenly opened.

"Let him absorb it."

A steady female voice came through, sounding particularly bland.

However, upon seeing the newcomer, the staff visibly tensed up and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

This person has been coming here almost every Monday since he visited six months ago.

But when Wu Changkong saw the person in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted. He recognized this person. It was precisely because he recognized him that his usually cold emotions changed so drastically.

Once the most beautiful woman in Douluo Continent, her looks alone surpassed even those of the Holy Spirit Douluo. Now the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, a level 99 Limit Douluo, and titled Heavenly Phoenix, Leng Yaozhu!

Even though Wu Changkong was from Shrek Academy, he still addressed her respectfully as "Your Majesty, Heavenly Phoenix."

Leng Yaozhu simply nodded, her gaze fixed on the screen, though it was unclear whether she was looking at her new apprentice or that other person.

Within the Spirit Ascension Platform, the absorption was nearing its end. The spider silk, originally a rich yellowish-green, had now faded considerably, its toughness and strength significantly reduced, and some signs of breakage were beginning to appear. Although the Human-Faced Demon Spider was highly venomous, the total amount of its venom was still limited.

Before the spider silk completely faded, Lin Ci slowly opened her eyes, a clear light appearing in them.

For the rest of them, there's a limit to how much spiritual energy they can absorb to upgrade their soul rings. But Lin Ci is different; he directly absorbs spiritual energy to enhance his own soul power, so there's no limit to that.

The spiritual energy generated from the killing of so many soul beasts by the spider silk was enough to raise his level by three.

This is level three after level thirty; normally, it would take countless months to reach that level through cultivation. But to reach level three in such a short time is incredibly fast.

He looked around and found that apart from Tang Wulin and Gu Yue who were still meditating and absorbing, Zhang Yangzi, Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi were all looking at him as if he were a monster.

Xie Xie couldn't help but run over, asking with a curious look, "Brother Ci, how did you do that? How can you absorb so much spiritual energy, and it seems like you're completely unrestricted?"

Lin Ci had already addressed this, explaining, "I'm level 30."

Level 30!

Xie Xie's lips twitched, looking like he was questioning the meaning of life. Back then, during the promotion tournament, he had broken through to level 20, just like Lin Ci.

But only half a year had passed, and he had only leveled up a few times, while Lin Ci had directly reached level 30.

"Thirty...thirty levels?" Wang Jinxi's voice trembled slightly. He subconsciously repeated it, as if to confirm whether he had misheard. His eyes were filled with disbelief, even a hint of bewilderment. As the one in Class Zero who considered himself to have the strongest martial soul, he had always been quite confident in his cultivation speed, but Lin Ci's words were like a heavy hammer, slamming into his confidence.

"You...you're kidding, right?" Zhang Yangzi finally came to his senses, his voice a little hoarse. His gaze swept back and forth over Lin Ci, trying to find a trace of a joke on her face.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

However, Lin Ci's expression was calm and indifferent, clearly not joking at all.

"Six months...from level 20 to level 30?" Wang Jinxi murmured to himself, his tone filled with deep shock and a hint of bitterness.

How can the gap between people be so huge? Even if he had a year, he might only have just broken through to level 30. Not to mention half a year, to be precise, it's only been three months.

Lin Ci simply said, "Everyone has their own destiny; perhaps I'm just lucky."

"Good luck?" Wang Jinxi gave a wry smile and shook his head. "This can't be explained by good luck...you have monstrous talent!"

At this point, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi exchanged a glance, both seeing deep helplessness and shock in each other's eyes.

They now clearly understand that Lin Ci's strength and talent have far exceeded their imagination, and may even have reached a height that they cannot reach in a short period of time.

This put a lot of pressure on the two of them, who were both in Class Zero and studying together. After all, they were using the same resources, but the results were not the same.

This explains why Lin Ci can absorb spiritual energy in this way. If he were at level 30, he would likely need a lot of spiritual energy to attach a thousand-year soul ring.

"Such rich spiritual energy!"

Just then, a young man emerged from the nearby woods. He was surrounded by three spirit rings, indicating he possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Venerable. In his right hand, he held a long, snow-white staff with a single blue crystal at the top. His expression was cold and arrogant, and a rich yellow aura shimmered around him.

Behind him was a beautiful young girl who peeked out from behind the camera; she was exquisitely beautiful.

"Not bad, you managed to find a place like this. Now, I'll give you ten seconds to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform and leave your spiritual energy behind, otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite."
