Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 11 The Third Soul Ring
Tong Qingtian put the Shadow Violent Bear down and said, "Because you have more troubles, absorb it now. We will talk about other gains when we get home."

Tong Rui immediately took out a dagger and stabbed it into the Shadow Bear's eyes and directly into its brain.

Although this was Tong Rui's first time killing a moving creature, he didn't feel like vomiting.

After all, apart from the somewhat disgusting scene, the corpse of the Shadow Bear does not have a disgusting smell like that of a human being because of its intestines being ripped open.

Similarly, Tong Rui did not feel nervous or anything like that. He just felt that life was slipping away too easily, which made him more determined to become stronger.

Just like that, a lavender soul ring was put on the star plate in Tong Rui's hand.

Although the Shadow Violent Bear is a soul beast from 1700 years ago after all, Tong Rui's own physical and mental strength are far beyond the normal stage.

So after about an hour, Tong Rui transformed the power contained in this 1700-year soul ring into his own. After successfully absorbing it, he couldn't help but open his eyes, and the light in his eyes seemed as bright as the stars.

"It seems that you have gained a lot this time." Seeing that Tong Rui had completed the absorption, Tong Qingtian asked, "How is it, how is the effect of the soul skill?"

Tong Rui turned his head to look at Tong Qingtian and said uncertainly: "It seems a bit too strong?"

"My third soul skill is the same as yours, Dad. It can use soul power to instantly stop the soul power of the people covered. This is what you call interrupting soul skills. However, the astrological attribute has given me an extremely powerful effect. It can force the opponent to release the martial soul possession state for one second."

Tong Qingtian couldn't help but be amazed at Tong Rui's talent. If it were in another world, he would have gasped and said, "This kid is so terrifying."

However, although he was surprised, he did not idle and ran towards home with Tong Rui.

After returning home and describing what happened along the way to his mother Mo Yun, Tong Rui found an excuse to count his gains.

In addition to the corpses of the Shadow Violent Bear, Silver Wolf and Golden Wolf, there were also many other soul beasts that participated in the fight.

First of all, as a Shadow Violent Bear that has the same origin as the soul ring, Tong Rui will definitely refine it into a soul bone. As for the other Shadow Violent Bear corpses, Tong Rui will also try to integrate them into this soul bone.

The best option would have been to take the corpses of several silver wolves and fuse them into head soul bones.

The superior soul beast of the Silver Wolf is the Silver Moon Wolf King. However, both the Silver Moon Wolf King and the Silver Wolf can activate and control a variety of elements, so as the head soul bone, it must bring spiritual amplification or the ability to control elements.

But Tong Rui already has his favorite skull choice, that is the ice silkworm clan from the Arctic ice field.

Because the limit of the soul ring improvement needs to be concealed, the first two soul rings cannot be upgraded further.

However, with the use of soul skills and Tong Rui's attempt to use the second soul skill to collect faith, the progress of the soul ring improvement cannot be stopped, so it is necessary to find an ability to conceal the color of the soul ring.

And the soul ring cannot be wasted on simulating soul skills that are not very suitable for oneself, so one can only work on the soul bones.

There are still many soul beasts with simulation skills, but the most impressive one is the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in Douluo Dalu.

The four soul skills it gave Huo Yuhao formed the foundation for Huo Yuhao's godhood: spiritual detection, sharing, interference, impact, and after becoming a soul, the life reflection shield formed by its million-year vitality.

But just like how the Sky Star Vine rarely survives more than ten thousand years, the Ice Silkworm Clan rarely survives more than ten thousand years simply by simulating this soul skill.

Although spiritual power was scarce during this period, Tong Rui was still worried that the thousand-year-old soul bone might not be hidden perfectly, so he still hoped to fuse a high-level soul bone through a large number of ice silkworm corpses.

Therefore, Tong Rui planned to transform the numerous silver wolf corpses in the space into a magic wand, rationally utilizing multi-element manipulation to enhance the means of attack.

As for the corresponding golden wolves, Tong Rui planned to turn them into a shield.

The thing that the Golden Wolf was most proud of was the body forged by the swallowed ore veins. Combined with the purified Golden Wolf shield, it should be comparable to the martial spirits of the same level. The remaining soul beast corpses were relatively incomplete, so Tong Rui planned to make a corresponding weapon based on its own characteristics.

For example, the remains of a wind wolf were forged into a dagger with wind attributes; the remains of a gorilla were forged into a hard hammer, and so on.

In this way, Tong Rui once again devoted his enthusiasm to the renovation project.

It's like the newt. Normal people would buy and collect ready-made figures, but Tong Rui can create his own figure, change its clothes, and even tell you that it will move in the future.

Which cadre can resist such temptation?

Especially for someone like Tong Rui who has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, when you see the items you designed being made completely, the feeling is indescribable joy.

On the other hand, he also entrusted his father to purchase the corpses of the Ice Silkworm Clan.

I was busy with cultivation and transformation, and it took more than half a month to go back and forth to the Far North.

It is difficult to find soul beasts like ice silkworms, but once you find one, it is the ice silkworm of a clan. As long as there is a market for ice silkworms, the mercenaries will have as many of them as they want.

However, time passed day by day, and when his father returned half a month later, he only brought back a few hundred-year-old ice silkworms.

The degree of concealment of the ice silkworms was beyond Tong Rui's imagination, and it was difficult for Tong Qingtian to leave the mother and son behind and live in this chaotic market town.

So after trading for a few ice silkworms, he hurried back.

Helplessly, Tong Rui had to prioritize refining a few ice silkworms into a thousand-year-old head soul bone, and slow down the refining of other soul beast corpses, focusing on accelerating the evolution of the head soul bone.

Even the soul beast corpses that were originally designed to be refined into ordinary weapons were intended by Tong Rui to be used as advanced cultivation materials and added to the catalysis of soul bones.

Because he was afraid that the mixed soul beast bodies would cause the soul bones to mutate, Tong Rui thought about refining all the corpses into a special secret soul skull.

The secret soul bone, kill 100 soul beasts of the same kind within a certain period of time, gather the corpses, and use secret methods to attract the souls of soul beasts, and this kind of soul bone will appear with a higher probability. The secret soul bone has no attributes, and can be directly absorbed or fused with other soul bones, and has a wide range of applications.

I have to say that the Treasure House of Time and Space is really convenient. With the catalysis of a large number of thousand-year-old and hundred-year-old soul beast corpses, a soulless secret soul bone was fused into the ice silkworm's head soul bone.

However, the addition of this quantity is not enough to produce a qualitative change. The soul bone is still a thousand-year soul bone, but it has changed from just over a thousand years old to over five thousand years old.

At this time, two months have passed since the fusion of the third soul ring. During this period, the age of the second soul skill has reached 2 years.

Therefore, Tong Rui had to find an excuse to interrupt the practice of his second soul skill, and reluctantly melted the silver wolf's corpse into the ice silkworm soul bone.

As a spiritual soul beast, the conversion efficiency has also improved a lot, but there is still some gap from ten thousand years.

Helplessly, Tong Rui had to use his soul power to nourish his soul bones just like he did when he first made the Heavenly Star Vine Beads.

Because once fused, Tong Rui can't use the soul bone every day and consume mental power to increase the age of the soul bone. Excessive mental power consumption will delay the cultivation of soul power and soul skills.

Moreover, the improvement in the treasure house is relatively fast. When the soul bone of Yuehua Tongbilian was fused, it was entirely because it was connected with the second soul skill. Every time it absorbed moonlight to practice, the age of the soul bone would be increased.

In addition, the improvement of soul bones will enhance the absorption of moonlight power, forming an excellent improvement cycle.
