108: Chapter 108 Two Months, Su Ling Reaches Level 70
After slaying a Titled Douluo and using a million-year Spirit Bone ability, Su Ling's Soul Power was more than half depleted due to the successive use of several Spirit Abilities.
That arrow, which fused six Spirit Abilities, was not easy; it was a true test for his body, otherwise, it would not have been easy to fire it.
And then there was the Wind-Thunder Sky-Piercing Slash; in reality, Su Ling had not unleashed the full power of the million-year Spirit Bone ability, as he had only released six wings.
Only by releasing all eighteen wings could the full attack power of the million-year Spirit Bone ability be unleashed.
However, six wings were enough; that already surpassed ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone abilities.
Looking back at this group of Spirit Hall Spirit Masters, there were still four Spirit Douluo and nine Spirit Saints.
"None of you will escape today!" Su Ling coldly snorted.
This shout was somewhat intimidating. Everyone saw that Su Ling had slain the Golden Eagle Douluo; they all looked grim and felt timid. How could they continue to fight?
A Spirit Emperor had actually insta-killed a Titled Douluo! Even Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong could not do anything about his speed; could they possibly win?
"Run!" suddenly, one of the Spirit Saints said.
Following that, these thirteen Spirit Masters began to flee in all directions. It had to be said that these people were quite clever; by scattering and fleeing, Su Ling could not possibly pursue them all.
But Su Ling had arrows. Pulling back the Primordial War Bow once more, Su Ling condensed ten arrows and fired them in a rotating volley.
Facing several directions, not long after the arrows were fired, screams rang out one after another.
The ten arrows allowed Su Ling to kill four more Spirit Saints and severely injure one Spirit Douluo.
Towards this Spirit Douluo, Su Ling immediately rushed over.
If he didn't kill him now, when would he?
"No, you cannot kill me. I am a Cardinal of the Spirit Hall. You cannot kill me! As long as you don't kill me, I can tell you a secret about Bibi Dong that no one knows."
Seeing Su Ling arrive before him, this Spirit Douluo, who looked to be about sixty years old, actually begged for mercy.
But Su Ling didn't say a word; he acted immediately, quickly firing an arrow that struck right between his eyebrows.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Don't think I don't know you were secretly preparing a sneak attack. Besides, how could I not know Bibi Dong's secrets?" Su Ling said while taking away the opponent's spirit tool.
In the opponent's hand was a small bag, filled with highly toxic powder.
If Su Ling had listened to him for a while, once he got close and lowered his guard, he might have really been in trouble.
Villains die from talking too much, and righteous characters can also be ambushed if they become too arrogant; even in victory, one might pay a painful price.
Since they came to deal with him, there was no need for Su Ling to say more.
Passing through the Sunset Forest, Su Ling collected all the spirit tools of the Spirit Masters he had killed, especially the Golden Eagle Douluo's spirit tool, which should contain quite a few good things.
Before long, Su Ling returned to the High-Level Protection Array and retracted his Shadow Clone.
"Brother Su, how are you?"
"Are you injured?"
The four women gathered around Su Ling, asking questions, and Jiang Zhu even wanted to use her Spirit Ability to help treat Su Ling.
Su Ling said: "I am not injured, just that my Soul Power is somewhat depleted, and I need to find a safe place to recover it."
After saying this, Su Ling put away the Formation.
"Let's leave here quickly and change locations to hide," Su Ling said.
Actually, if those Spirit Masters hadn't fled and had instead united to deal with Su Ling, they might have truly had a chance to defeat him.
It was just that Su Ling's insta-kill of the Golden Eagle Douluo had terrified the group of Spirit Masters.
Even now, the four women were still in a dream.
Su Ling was only a Spirit Emperor, yet he had insta-killed a Titled Douluo, and slain a Spirit Douluo and several Spirit Saints.
Following behind Su Ling, everyone remained silent.
After moving about four or five kilometers away, Su Ling found a suitable location and set up the High-Level Protection Array.
This location was not one that ordinary Spirit Masters would easily step into, so it should be fine.
"Everyone, rest here tonight, and I will also recover some Soul Power." After saying this, Su Ling found a suitable spot to sit cross-legged, took a Medicinal Pill to recover Soul Power, and began to Cultivate.
The four women now understood the function of the High-Level Protection Array; Ye Lingling had learned about it from Zhu Zhuxin during the previous battle.
"Sister Zhu Xin, Zhuqing, Jiang Zhu, it's all my fault. If I hadn't asked Brother Su to come, we wouldn't have encountered danger." Ye Lingling was still feeling a bit guilty at this moment.
"Lingling, you can't say that. Even if these people didn't come today, they would have found other opportunities. Didn't we get through today safely? You must trust in Brother Su's ability," Zhu Zhuxin comforted her.
In fact, at the beginning, she had been just like Ye Lingling.
From shock to habit, there is a process; Su Ling could always create miracles.
A Spirit Emperor slaying a Titled Douluo—looking across the entire Douluo Continent, who else could do that?
"Is that so?"
Ye Lingling looked at Su Ling again, and the gratitude in her heart gradually increased.
So Brother Su is this powerful!
And he can be so good to me!
I should have been more proactive before; I should have gotten to know Brother Su earlier.
Lingling, was something wrong with your brain before?
In an instant, Ye Lingling began to recall the first time she met Su Ling and the various scenes later where Su Ling participated in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.
A smile appeared on her face from time to time, and sometimes she felt a bit excited.
It was as if she had changed her mindset to look back at every little detail about Su Ling.
[Ding... Ye Lingling favorability +2, obtained yellow treasure chest *1]
[Ding... Ye Lingling favorability +3, obtained white treasure chest *2]
[Ding... Ye Lingling favorability +5, obtained white treasure chest *2, purple treasure chest *1]
[Ding... Ye Lingling favorability is greater than or equal to 70]
[Bonded Goddess: Ye Lingling]
[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]
[Favorability: 70 (A little bit of liking)]
[Bond Effect: Host can obtain 20% of the Bonded Goddess's daily Cultivation effect, without reducing the Bonded Goddess's Cultivation speed.]
[Bond Skill: Healing (Active skill, can use 30% of Ye Lingling's current strongest healing ability)]
[Bond Skill: Soul Power Recovery (Active skill, when Soul Power is consumed, can restore 20% of full Soul Power at once, skill cooldown: 60 minutes)]
Su Ling, who was recovering his Soul Power, naturally heard the System's voice and knew that a new skill had been reorganized.
Isn't this skill just prepared for him?
Since he had a new skill, Su Ling immediately used the Soul Power Recovery skill. The Soul Power on his body instantly surged, restoring 20% of his peak period at once.
It had to be said that the effect was really good. The previously insufficient Soul Power in Su Ling's body was restored by a lot, which might play a decisive role in critical battles.
It was just a pity that the skill's interval, or cooldown time, was as long as sixty minutes, which was a bit long.
If there were no skill cooldown, it would be perfect, and he could recover in an instant.
However, looking at the System's past improvement methods, it might shorten this time in the future.
Just recovering 20% of his Soul Power was not enough, so Su Ling continued to condense his Soul Power.
After that, Ye Lingling's favorability did not increase anymore; perhaps today's performance was just enough to let her reach a favorability of 70.
The next morning!
When Su Ling woke up, the four women had already prepared breakfast.
"Brother Su, it's time for breakfast," Zhuqing said.
"En!" Su Ling smiled and said.
Not long after finishing breakfast, Su Ling put away the High-Level Protection Array and continued to take the four women deeper into the Sunset Forest.
All Ye Lingling needed was her fourth spirit ring, which was relatively simple.
Later, it only took two days to find one for Ye Lingling.
After all, the Sunset Forest was a paradise for plant-type Spirit Beasts, and there were quite a few plant-type Spirit Beasts with healing attributes inside.
Other Spirit Masters absorbing a four-thousand-year Spirit Beast spirit ring would take about a day if they were slow.
Yet Ye Lingling took an entire day and night to complete the absorption of this four-thousand-year Spirit Beast's spirit ring; one could imagine how serious Ye Lingling's Meridians problem was.
When absorbing low-age spirit rings, she might be a few hours late, but it wasn't a big issue and couldn't be seen.
But as the spirit ring age got higher and higher, the problem became more exposed.
Her type of Meridians was innate, and even her Nine-Heart Begonia could not heal it.
For the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit, even if the Meridians were broken, treatment would still have an effect.
But treatment could only allow you to recover to the initial state, not surpass it, so Ye Lingling's Meridians could not be solved through ordinary treatment.
Perhaps when she became stronger in the future, it could be solved, but for now, Ye Lingling could not change the status quo.
After absorbing the fourth spirit ring, Ye Lingling's Soul Power rose to level 41, becoming a Spirit Ancestor.
From hunting the spirit ring and absorbing it, to the group returning to Heaven Dou City, Ye Lingling's favorability only increased by three points, and Su Ling also obtained three white treasure chests.
The favorability seemed to have reached a certain Bottleneck; perhaps it would only increase after Su Ling fulfilled his promise.
After sending Ye Lingling home, Su Ling and the three women returned to the Divine Arrow Mansion.
...
Two months later!
[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for completing an intimate interaction with Zhu Zhuxin, obtained red treasure chest *1]
Hearing the System's sound, Su Ling thought to himself that a red treasure chest had finally arrived.
In the last twenty days, this was the first red treasure chest.
In two months, sixty days, Su Ling and the three women, Liu Erlong, Feng Yuer, and Zhu Zhuxin, interacted at least twice a day during normal days.
Setting aside some special times, in sixty days, Su Ling obtained a total of 106 treasure chest rewards.
Purple treasure chests were still the most numerous, with seventy-two obtained.
Thirty-one black treasure chests!
As for red treasure chests, there were only three, and that included the red treasure chest from just now.
Very few red treasure chests were obtained in these two months.
Fortunately, ten black treasure chests could be exchanged for one red treasure chest, so adding them up, there were still six red treasure chests.
It was just a pity that a super treasure chest still hadn't appeared.
In these sixty days, Su Ling had been very restrained.
Although his body was very powerful, starting from this month, Su Ling basically stopped subsequent actions after getting the treasure chest every day.
After all, up to now, the System had not given him any enhancement in that regard; it was just relying on the power of his own body.
However, occasionally, Su Ling would still treat the three women, making them obedient.
Taking advantage of the time Zhu Zhuxin was Cultivating nearby, Su Ling's eyes looked at the System panel.
[Remaining unopened treasure chests: white *190, yellow *52, purple *139, black *36, red *4, golden *0]
Four red treasure chests, three of which were obtained this time, and one was obtained when he first took Zhu Zhuxin.
This time, it should be able to give me a narcissus jade bone, right?
"System, open four red treasure chests."
[Ding... Opened four red treasure chests, congratulations to the Host for obtaining ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone *2, Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Sunflower *1, Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Twin Liquid *1]
"Damn, still nothing!"
"But a new item appeared."
[Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Twin Liquid: Used before a Spirit Beast dies, can allow a Spirit Beast of up to ten thousand years to grow an additional Spirit Bone.]
Two Spirit Bones appearing on one Spirit Beast?
Does that exist on the Douluo Continent?
Su Ling carefully recalled, and to be honest, it really did exist. Didn't Bibi Dong's left and right arm Spirit Bones come from the same Spirit Beast?
Moreover, these two Spirit Bones could be used in combination, and their power was naturally extraordinary.
It was a pity; all four red treasure chests had been used up, and the immortal-grade medicinal herb, narcissus jade bone, still hadn't been opened.
100 purple treasure chests could be exchanged for one red treasure chest, and black treasure chests could be exchanged for three, so he could still open four more red treasure chests.
However, Su Ling did not plan to open them for the time being. Since he hadn't opened what he wanted, Su Ling prepared to slow down for a while.
Moreover, he had to prepare for the next step of action; Ye Lingling's problem might have to wait until he obtained his seventh spirit ring.
...
After more than two months of accumulation, Su Ling's Soul Power could actually have broken through to level 70 long ago.
Looking at the sleeping Zhu Zhuxin, Su Ling did not disturb her.
Instead, he waited for her to wake up, and after eating breakfast with everyone, Su Ling announced he was going to the Cultivation room and told everyone not to disturb him.
Entering the Cultivation room, Su Ling sat cross-legged.
Using a dozen breaths to slightly adjust his state, Su Ling then said: "System, transfer all the Goddess Cultivation effects from the past two months to me."
In an instant, waves of energy surged into his body.
Each wave represented a different Goddess, among which Liu Erlong's Cultivation effect was the most prominent, and Qian Renxue's was the most surprising.
With only 10% of the Cultivation effect, it could actually rank fifth among all contributions.
Su Ling was already used to absorbing this energy.
This was like when experience was full, and you clicked the upgrade words with a mouse; the only difference was that the time Su Ling spent here was a little longer.
Originally, Su Ling's Soul Power had already exceeded level 69 and a half.
The entire promotion process took less than an hour, and Su Ling's Soul Power reached level 70.
Moreover, the energy in his body had not been fully consumed, so Su Ling could only continue to Cultivate.
Until evening, all the remaining energy slowly merged into Su Ling's body.
However, his Soul Power did not increase, because without a spirit ring, it could only stay at level 70.
If he was willing, he could absorb a spirit ring given by the System at any time to reach level 71.
He could even add a Spirit to himself, and in a short time, he could break through to Spirit Douluo, and even Titled Douluo was not impossible.
It was just that he did not choose to do so; the primary task at the moment was to solve the Spirit issue first—that was the key—so that the Primordial War Bow would no longer be a prototype!
"Hunting the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, should I go find the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for help? Or should I take Liu Erlong and go myself?"
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python would definitely help, but Su Ling himself also needed to be well-prepared.
Although he could now fight against an ordinary Titled Douluo, when it came to fighting the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, Su Ling always felt that he was still lacking a bit.
When Tang San fought the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, he seemed to be a Spirit Douluo, having returned from Sea God Island and being able to go head-to-head with a level 96 Titled Douluo.
Su Ling felt that he still had the power to fight against Titled Douluo below level 96.
But to face a Titled Douluo of that level, he was still a bit lacking.
And the combat power of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger might be even stronger than an ordinary level 96 Titled Douluo.
Level 70 Soul Power was the biggest limitation.
It wasn't that Su Ling didn't have powerful skills, but that using powerful skills really consumed too much Soul Power.
His Soul Power simply could not withstand battles with some powerful Titled Douluo.
Dealing with the Golden Eagle Douluo was also done by catching him off guard and killing him.
Relying on the Slow skill, the ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone ability Mental Shock, and the million-year Spirit Bone ability Wind-Thunder Sky-Piercing Slash, he finally took him down.
Who would have thought that Su Ling, a Spirit Emperor in the sixties, could have so many different types of skills?
Who would have thought that Su Ling alone could be comparable to a team of Spirit Masters!
In a situation where a Titled Douluo was unprepared, Su Ling could kill him.
If the opponent was prepared in advance, the difficulty would increase by more than several times.
Therefore, the next morning, Su Ling made a decision.
After saying goodbye to the three women, he went to Shrek Academy, not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
This time, he didn't need to take too many people; Su Ling felt that adding Liu Erlong would be enough.
After all, he could use the Fusion skill, and if that didn't work, there was still Xiao Wu, and the three of them could fuse together.
If Su Ling after using Fusion, plus the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, still couldn't handle the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, then he would be too useless.
