146: Chapter 146 Million-Year Soul Ring, Advancement to Soul Douluo

"Sister Liu, did I hear that correctly just now? Su Ling said he wants to absorb a spirit ring. Can one even absorb a spirit ring here in Slaughter City?" Hu Liena said.

Su Ling was challenging her perception once again. Where on earth did this spirit ring come from?

And Liu Erlong had grown somewhat accustomed to Su Ling's actions. He challenged her perception time and time again. Although she was curious now, she still feigned calmness and said: "Su Ling must have a way to store spirit rings."

This was her explanation. She thought that must be the only way he could produce a spirit ring.

After all, Su Ling had methods to keep vegetables and fruits fresh. Could he also preserve spirit rings?

At this moment, Su Ling was also struggling with which spirit ring to use.

He currently possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring and a million-year spirit ring!

Using the 100,000-year spirit ring would be no problem; his body could easily absorb it. As for the million-year spirit ring, Su Ling was still considering it.

A million-year spirit ring was not so easy to absorb. The energy contained within it was terrifying, and one careless move could lead to the risk of exploding and dying.

Should it be 100,000 years or a million years?

After pondering for a moment, Su Ling already had his answer.

He directly took out the million-year spirit ring!

If he didn't push for it now, when would he?

Su Ling wasn't worried about safety; he had the Golden Dragon Armor and the million-year external Spirit Bone for Support.

Moreover, this million-year spirit ring wasn't wild; it was produced by the System.

Its greatest advantage was that there was no hidden Spirit Beast Soul shock within the spirit ring, and secondly, the energy was stable.

The energy brought by wild Spirit Beast spirit rings was extremely unstable.

These factors were key to the success rate of a Spirit Master absorbing a spirit ring.

The spirit rings rewarded by the System did not have these problems, and their absorption difficulty was second only to a Spirit Beast's sacrifice.

Previously, the difficulty of Su Ling absorbing the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring was actually no less than that of a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Plus, Su Ling's body strength was something even ordinary Titled Douluo could not compare to.

Considering all factors, Su Ling finally decided to absorb this million-year spirit ring.

With a thought, Su Ling took out the only million-year spirit ring he had obtained from opening a treasure chest from the System.

A golden light flashed, and it immediately merged into his body.

"Sister Liu, I think I just saw a golden light! Is there any spirit ring that is golden?" Hu Liena asked, full of curiosity.

Liu Erlong said: "I don't know either!"

"Yellow century-year spirit rings are somewhat similar to gold, but Su Ling wouldn't absorb a century-year spirit ring, right?" Hu Liena said.

"Just watch. I won't go to the Hell Slaughter Arena recently. Nana, you can go," Liu Erlong said.

"Oh!" Hu Liena responded.

Truth be told, Liu Erlong was still worried about Hu Liena. What if she targeted Su Ling after leaving?

Although she was currently helping Su Ling win over Hu Liena and was treating Hu Liena well, this didn't mean she trusted her 100 percent.

Absorbing a spirit ring was dangerous, and she couldn't let any accidents happen to Su Ling, so she chose to stay here.

As the million-year spirit ring entered his body, Su Ling immediately felt the difference. The moment the spirit ring touched his Spirit and prepared to fuse and release energy, Su Ling felt as if his body was about to explode.

The tent outside his body was directly blown apart.

This scared Liu Erlong and Hu Liena quite a bit.

Fortunately, Su Ling was still sitting there unscathed.

In that instant, Su Ling had become tense, but fortunately, his body was strong, and he had timely activated his body-enhancing skill.

This was one of the skills brought by Yang Qingyu, which could strengthen all body attributes by 30% for a duration of half an hour, with a usage interval of ten hours.

After his body was strengthened, Su Ling had already controlled the energy within his body.

Su Ling thought to himself: 'I still underestimated the power of a million-year spirit ring. Fortunately, this strengthening skill can take effect instantly, otherwise, my body would have been injured.'

It was just a pity that this skill could only last for half an hour, and the usage interval was ten hours.

With a thought, Su Ling began to wrap himself in the Golden Dragon Armor.

The Golden Dragon Armor could not only strengthen himself but also brought a 100% defense boost.

After the Golden Dragon Armor was released, Su Ling immediately operated his Cultivation Technique, absorbing the energy in his body at high speed.

This energy was indeed substantial; the speed at which Su Ling's body absorbed it could not balance the speed at which the spirit ring released energy.

As more and more energy accumulated in his body, once the half-hour duration of the strengthening skill passed, Su Ling felt danger once again.

And at this moment, he did not release the Void Wind-Thunder Wings.

In that case, he would let the Golden Dragon Armor bear a portion; he didn't know if it would work.

The evolution method of the Golden Dragon Armor was very simple: if Su Ling usually applied his Cultivation results to the Golden Dragon Armor, its age could increase.

This time, Su Ling began to try to let the Golden Dragon Armor absorb the energy in his body directly, which was equivalent to Su Ling multitasking.

Guiding the energy in his body to let the Golden Dragon Armor absorb and evolve!

"It worked, this is possible!"

The Golden Dragon Armor absorbed the energy, and its age began to increase.

Therefore, the energy in Su Ling's body was divided into two; half for himself, and the other half for the Golden Dragon Armor to Cultivate and absorb.

At this point, the energy in his body had reached equilibrium, and the danger could be considered passed.

Absorbing a million-year spirit ring, the process of fusing the spirit ring was also very time-consuming.

In the blink of an eye, forty days passed.

On this day, Hu Liena had just returned from the Hell Slaughter Arena. She was covered in blood. After entering the Formation and seeing that Su Ling was still absorbing the spirit ring, she went straight to the bathroom.

Living with Su Ling was truly wonderful. If it were her original place, the most she could do was wipe away the blood or change into a new set of clothes.

Taking a bath was a very luxurious thing.

It was also at this moment that the spirit rings on Su Ling's body appeared one by one, and his Soul Power was constantly rising.

Hu Liena stopped in her tracks and looked at Su Ling outside.

"Is he about to succeed?"

"What kind of spirit ring is this golden one? With such a long time, it must be at least at the 100,000-year level," Hu Liena whispered.

After watching for about half an hour, seeing that Su Ling wouldn't finish anytime soon, Hu Liena went back into the room to bathe.

Three hours later!

Liu Erlong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes and met Su Ling's gaze.

"Is it over?" Liu Erlong said.

Su Ling, opposite her, nodded, then stood up.

Feeling the improvement this time, he was quite satisfied.

"Sister Liu, how long did it take for me to absorb the spirit ring?" Su Ling asked.

Liu Erlong said: "Forty days!"

"That time is not considered long!" Su Ling smiled and said. The Golden Dragon Armor absorbed it simultaneously with him, which was equivalent to double absorption; otherwise, Su Ling would have needed at least eighty days or more.

Another thing was that the process of the Primordial War Bow fusing with the spirit ring was also very smooth; with the two superimposed, it naturally took less time.

The time used seemed to be much less than what Tang San took to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Of course, there were some differences. Su Ling's spirit ring was produced by the System and seemed to be able to perfectly fuse with him, perhaps even better than a god-bestowed spirit ring.

"Su Ling, congratulations!" Hu Liena on the side also spoke up.

Liu Erlong had never asked about Su Ling's situation. She seemed unable to ask rashly; after all, this might involve Su Ling's secrets.

Hu Liena could only forcibly suppress her curiosity.

Su Ling said: "How was your harvest over these forty days?"

Liu Erlong said: "I didn't go to Slaughter City, but Nana went quite a bit."

"I went thirteen times in these forty days. Now I have extended my winning streak to thirty-five matches," Hu Liena said.

"Not bad. At this pace, you can walk out of Slaughter City soon, but you also need to improve as soon as possible."

"Nana, your Soul Power has reached Rank 62, right?" Su Ling said.

"Yes!" Hu Liena nodded.

Su Ling swiped his hand across his spatial spirit tool, then a jade bottle appeared in his hand. He said: "Take these three Medicinal Pills. Take one every three days. It should allow you to Breakthrough two Ranks of Soul Power within ten days."

"Breakthrough two Ranks of Soul Power within ten days?" Hu Liena looked at the jade bottle in her hand, somewhat unable to believe it.

Su Ling said: "By the way, you can rest assured taking this medicine; it has no side effects."

"Su Ling, thank you!" Hu Liena said.

Although he gave her the Medicinal Pills, Hu Liena was still a bit skeptical at this moment. Could these pills really have such a great effect?

"Sister Liu, I've delayed you these forty days. Tomorrow, we will continue to go to the Hell Slaughter Arena," Su Ling said.

Liu Erlong said: "Actually, it's no delay. Recently, I have been controlling the Killing Intent in my body, which can be considered a small gain."

"That's good!" Su Ling said.

Liu Erlong had already accumulated a large amount of Killing Intent in her body, and after arriving at Slaughter City, she had a battle every two days, causing her Killing Intent to grow rapidly.

Even if the living environment was good, the accumulated Killing Intent was a huge amount over time.

"Then I'm going to cook," Liu Erlong looked at Su Ling.

Su Ling only then realized that he hadn't provided fresh vegetables, meat, etc., for the past forty days, which made them very uncomfortable, having eaten dry rations for nearly forty days.

Su Ling immediately went to the kitchen and took out quite a few vegetables, and of course, meat as well.

A clever housewife cannot cook without rice. Liu Erlong now had room to display her skills again, and Hu Liena also took the initiative to help.

Su Ling set up a new tent.

Then he looked at the changes in his System panel.

Host: Su Ling

Age: 23

Spirit: Primordial War Bow

Soul Power: Rank 88

Mental Energy: Rank 97

spirit rings: Yellow (10,320 years, Water attribute), Yellow (10,652 years, Wood attribute), Purple (11,358 years, Fire attribute), Black (30,086 years, Gold/Earth attribute), Black (45,680 years, Wind/Thunder dual attributes), Black (60,188 years, Light attribute), Black (70,523 years, Wind, Thunder, Time, Space, Darkness, Evil, Strength), Gold (1 million years, Perfect Adaptation attribute)

Spirit Bones: external Spirit Bone Golden Dragon Armor (203,560 years), external Spirit Bone Void Wind-Thunder Wings (1 million years), Wisdom Skull Bone (100,000 years)

Cultivation Technique: Concentration Technique (4th Level), Supreme Hunyuan Scripture Basic Upper Volume

Skills: Carefree Metamorphosis (Perfection, already comprehended skill: Heaven and Earth Carefree), Eight Desolations Fist (Perfection, already comprehended Eight Wasteland Unity)

Domain: Intermediate Hunyuan Domain

[Remaining Unopened Treasure Chests: white * 332, yellow * 106, purple * 128, black * 33, red * 8, gold * 0]

[Remaining Unopened Special Treasure Chests: Low-grade blue treasure chest * 110, Intermediate blue treasure chest * 9, High-grade blue treasure chest * 1]

The effect of a million-year spirit ring was something Su Ling wanted to experience a second time after absorbing it once. His Soul Power directly Breakthrough to Rank 88, and this was still the effect after the external Spirit Bone Golden Dragon Armor had taken half of it away.

And the Golden Dragon Armor had broken through to over 200,000 years.

Its comprehensive effect had improved significantly, and it also evolved a new skill called Golden Dragon Counterattack, the effect of which was very simple.

It could absorb the enemy's attack and then turn it into a golden dragon to counterattack, but the attack power would have a 10% loss.

Moreover, this skill also had limitations; it could not exceed the limit of the Golden Dragon Armor's defense. If it exceeded it, the skill would fail.

But now that the Golden Dragon Armor's age had exceeded 200,000 years, its defensive ability could be described as terrifying, and it was not easy to exceed the Golden Dragon Armor's defensive limit.

In addition to the significant improvement in Soul Power and Spirit Bones, Su Ling's Mental Energy had also improved quite a bit.

The previous improvement had already brought his Mental Energy to the limit of Rank 95, and after absorbing the million-year Spirit Bone, his Mental Energy directly crossed Rank 96 to reach Rank 97.

At this Rank, if Su Ling were to activate the Spirit Bone skill Mental Shock again, even an ordinary Titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand.

As for body strength, power, etc., it went without saying.

If he were to meet Tang Hao now, Su Ling would not run away; he would only say: "Rat, dare you fight?"

He had been in Slaughter City for nearly five months now, and his killing matches were nearly half done. There was naturally no problem for him and Liu Erlong to win the upcoming battles.

The only variable was whether Liu Erlong could control her Killing Intent, which might take more time.

As for Su Ling himself, he didn't feel much; the Killing Intent seemed to be nothing in front of his special Soul Power and was easily suppressed.

As for Hu Liena, Su Ling was also preparing to start the next round of strategy to brush up on favorability.

In the early stage, simply being good to her and taking care of her had already brought her favorability to the limit, and it would be very difficult to improve it further. The next step was to launch a fierce attack with sugar-coated bullets.

The three Intermediate Spirit-Raising Pills were the first step.

After dinner, the three of them went back to Cultivate.

Hu Liena looked at the jade bottle in her hand, pondered for a moment, and then poured one out and put it into her mouth.

Once the Medicinal Pill entered her body, it took effect shortly after.

A look of joy appeared on Hu Liena's face; this Medicinal Pill was real.

She immediately became serious and fully operated her Soul Power to begin absorbing the medicinal effect.

A night passed!

[Ding... Hu Liena's favorability + 2, obtained white treasure chest * 1, yellow treasure chest * 1]

Hearing the System's prompt, Su Ling also opened his eyes.

Hu Liena's favorability reached 69, which was actually only one step away from 70.

And at this time, Hu Liena also walked out of the room.

Seeing her face full of joy, after seeing Su Ling, she immediately said: "Su Ling, thank you. This one Medicinal Pill actually allowed me to improve from Rank 62 to Rank 63, and there are no side effects."

Originally, one Medicinal Pill could not improve a Rank at the Rank 62 stage. Fortunately, Hu Liena herself had been working hard to Cultivate during this period, which was why one Medicinal Pill had the effect of improving one Rank.

Su Ling said: "The effect of this Medicinal Pill will gradually decrease later, but it is no problem at all to let you improve to Rank 64."

"Yes!"

"Then I will take the next one in three days!" Hu Liena smiled.

In the morning, the three of them finished breakfast and then continued to head to the Hell Slaughter Arena.

The three of them waited in the Hell Slaughter Arena for about three hours and finally finished three matches.

Hu Liena reached a 36-match winning streak, Su Ling a 50-match winning streak, and Liu Erlong 51 matches.

According to the rules of Slaughter City, all those who reached 50 wins or more would not be arranged together even if they signed up at the same time.

That made things much easier. Su Ling and Liu Erlong signed up at the same time, and after their battles ended, Hu Liena signed up. Basically, the winners of every day were all covered by the three of them.

Three days later, Hu Liena took another Intermediate Spirit-Raising Pill, and her Soul Power reached the Peak of Rank 63.

Three days later, after taking the last Intermediate Spirit-Raising Pill, her Soul Power reached Rank 64 and a half.

If there was one more, there would be a chance to Breakthrough to Rank 65.

Also, when Hu Liena reached Rank 64, the System's prompt finally sounded.

[Ding... Hu Liena's favorability + 1, obtained yellow treasure chest * 1]

[Ding... Hu Liena's favorability is greater than or equal to 70]

[Bond Goddess: Hu Liena]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]

[Favorability: 70 (Likes you a little)]

[Bond Effect: Host can obtain 20% of the Bond Goddess's daily Cultivation effect, without reducing the Bond Goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Bond Skill 1: Charm (Passive skill, host's personal Charm increased by 20%)]

[Bond Skill 2: Heart Demon Illusion (Active skill, after release, it can make the enemy fall into their own Heart Demon illusion, but there is a certain chance of skill failure. The current success rate is 20%)]

Damn, this second skill is a bit Heaven-Defying.

Although the success rate is a bit low, as long as the enemy is hit once, they can be killed the moment they fall into the illusion.

But this...

This skill seems to be a double-edged sword again. If the enemy walks out of their own Heart Demon illusion, wouldn't it be a huge help to the enemy?
