9: Chapter 9 Spirit Eyes, Spiritual Sharing

Before Huo Yuhao could even close his mouth, Su Chen's third spirit ring lit up.

It was another thousand-year-level purple one.

Huo Yuhao was already numb with shock.

Immediately after, a fourth spirit ring rose slowly.

That was a black spirit ring.

A ten-thousand-year spirit ring!

Yellow, purple, purple, black.

As soon as these four spirit rings appeared, Huo Yuhao felt his legs go weak.

What kind of god-tier setup is this?

Even cheating shouldn't be this blatant, right?

It's simply beyond ridiculous.

"Chaos Thunder Dragon, Possession."

Su Chen spoke indifferently.

In the next second, his entire being changed.

A pair of dragon horns grew from his forehead, with purple lightning dancing upon them.

His body was also instantly covered in a layer of golden dragon scales.

His limbs became thicker and more powerful, and a dragon tail flickering with violent thunderous light swayed gently behind him.

Just a moment ago he was the boy next door, now he had directly transformed into a humanoid tyrannosaur.

This aura was too strong.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei were pushed back repeatedly by the pressure, their hearts filled with immense shock.

That Datura Snake fared even worse.

It was pinned down firmly by this dragonic pressure, lying on the ground and trembling incessantly.

The fierce glint in the snake's eyes vanished, leaving only fear.

Run?

Its legs were weak with fear—oh wait, it didn't have legs.

Regardless, it didn't even dare to move a muscle.

Su Chen raised his dragon-scale-covered fist and looked at the crackling purple-black lightning on it.

Hmm, not bad, the coolness factor is maxed out.

Immediately after, his figure flashed.

When he reappeared, he was already above the Datura Snake's head.

He didn't use any fancy soul skills.

It was just a simple punch.

Smashing down right onto the snake's head.

"Bang."

A dull thud.

The Datura Snake's massive body shuddered violently; it couldn't even let out a scream before the light in its eyes quickly faded.

The enormous snake carcass slumped limply to the ground, twitched twice, and then went still.

Su Chen shook his hand, and the draconic features on his body quickly receded, returning him to that lazy youth once more.

He turned back to look at the three people who were already dumbstruck.

"Done, work's finished."

One punch?

A thousand-year Datura Snake, just gone like that?

Isn't this plot a bit too ridiculous?

Even someone like Bei Bei, who had seen the world, was completely dazed now, his mouth twitching as he remained speechless for a long time.

He knew Su Chen was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful.

This isn't just a genius; this is fundamentally a cheater.

Tang Ya was the quickest to react.

She looked at the Datura Snake's corpse on the ground; her eyes were first filled with shock, then with wild joy.

"Su... Su Chen, thank you so much!"

Tang Ya jogged over and first gave Su Chen a bow.

Then she skillfully pulled out a dagger, delivered the final blow, and only then sat down to begin absorbing the spirit ring.

Bei Bei also snapped out of it and hurried over to protect Tang Ya while she meditated, but the way he looked at Su Chen was a bit complicated.

There was shock, gratitude, and a hint of indescribable powerlessness.

On the other side.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of admiration.

He walked up to Su Chen and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Su Chen... how—how old are you this year?"

In his mind, with Su Chen's freakish strength, he had to be around the same age as Bei Bei, right?

Su Chen glanced at him and said casually:

"Twelve years old."

Boom!

Huo Yuhao felt as if his brain had been blasted; he was completely stunned.

What?

The same age as me?

Both twelve years old, yet while he was still risking his life for a ten-year spirit ring, the other person was already killing thousand-year Spirit Beasts with a wave of his hand.

How could the gap between people be so vast?

"Your physical fitness and mental strength are decent."

Su Chen suddenly spoke.

"The absorption of spirit rings actually has no fixed age limit standards. The so-called ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year marks are just for ordinary people to see."

He looked at the thoughtful Huo Yuhao and continued explaining.

"There are only two things that truly determine how many years a spirit ring you can absorb: physical strength and mental strength."

"If your body is tough enough, you won't be burst by the spirit ring's energy. If your mental strength is strong enough, your consciousness won't be crushed by the Spirit Beast's resentment before death, turning you into an idiot."

"My Spirit is quite special; it belongs to the Ultimate Martial Soul category, naturally providing a huge boost to both body and mental strength. That's why I can absorb spirit rings beyond my level."

So that's how it is.

Huo Yuhao thought of his own Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.

His physical strength might not be up to par, but his mental strength was definitely much stronger than average.

Just then, a lazy voice rang out in his mind.

"I say, kid, why are you sitting there being all depressed?"

It was the Heavenly Dream Iceworm.

"No matter how awesome his Spirit is, is it more awesome than your big brother's million-year spirit ring? Is it more awesome than your second Spirit?"

The Heavenly Dream Iceworm's tone was very disdainful.

"With my help, you will possess twin spirits in the future."

"You're taking the ultimate upgrade path, understand? The starting points are different, so why compare yourself to him?"

twin spirits...

Huo Yuhao's heart jolted as if he had caught a lifeline, and his dim eyes brightened slightly.

That's right, I still have Brother Tianmeng and my second Spirit.

At that moment, a hand patted his shoulder.

Huo Yuhao turned his head; it was Bei Bei.

"Yuhao, don't take it to heart."

Bei Bei pointed at Su Chen not far away and lowered his voice.

"Don't compare yourself to him. That guy isn't human; he's a monster in human skin."

"In our Shrek Academy, if you count every single one of his peers, not one can beat him."

Bei Bei's tone was helpless.

"Look at him, lazy all day as if he's doing nothing, yet his Soul Power grows faster than anyone's. The Dragon God Douluo said his Spirit is very special and can cultivate on its own."

"Isn't that infuriating?"

A Spirit that cultivates on its own?

Huo Yuhao was shocked once again.

So... on Douluo Continent, there are actually such heaven-defying Spirits.

Just as Huo Yuhao was questioning his life, Su Chen's voice rang out again.

"By the way, Yuhao, what skill is your first spirit ring?"

Huo Yuhao froze for a moment and answered instinctively: "It's... it's Spiritual Detection and Sharing."

He was a bit embarrassed; after all, it was just an auxiliary soul skill with no offensive power.

Su Chen, on the contrary, became interested.

"Oh? Let's see it in use."

"Okay."

Huo Yuhao nodded, closed his eyes, and the Spirit Eye on his forehead slowly opened.

In the next second, Su Chen and Bei Bei simultaneously felt a brand-new perspective appear in their minds.

It was a three-dimensional image with a 360-degree view and no blind spots.

Every blade of grass and tree within a hundred meters, even the insects underground, were presented with absolute clarity in their minds.

"This soul skill... is quite good!"

Bei Bei's eyes lit up; this auxiliary ability was simply divine.

Su Chen nodded and evaluated: "It's alright; the range is large, and the precision is high."

He changed the subject and looked at Huo Yuhao.

"With this ability of yours, it's really a pity if you don't learn about spirit tools."

spirit tools?

Huo Yuhao was completely confused.

Su Chen explained casually: "A type of weapon or tool driven by Soul Power. It has high requirements for mental strength, so you're very suitable."
