Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 127 Dragon God Munn
After Luo Chen restrained the surging soul power deep in his dantian, Luo Chen then looked at the ancient golden tree in front of him.

The life energy and light energy contained in the ancient golden tree were indeed beyond Luo Chen's imagination. Even when his life-absorbing ability was fully activated, the life energy in the tree hole of the ancient golden tree remained unchanged, as if it was endless.

Feeling the terrifying energy in front of him that was so strong that it was almost tangible, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head. The foundation that Shrek Academy possessed was beyond his imagination.

Take this ancient golden tree for example. It is something that no other force on the continent can possess. With such an ancient golden tree that absorbs countless life energies and can even infect the surrounding areas with its own breath, the inheritance of Shrek Academy will never be broken.

In Luo Chen's estimation, as long as Moon, the leader of the Sea God Pavilion, was willing, he could open the 108 tree holes under the ancient golden tree to the entire Shrek Academy.

This would at least enable Shrek Academy to quickly train at least several hundred strong men above the six-ring Soul Emperor level in a short period of time, and there would probably be dozens of strong men above the seven-ring Soul Saint level.

The students who can pass the assessment of Shrek Academy and then stay in Shrek Academy to study naturally have strong martial arts spirits and cultivation talents. Therefore, under the infusion of such terrifying energy, even if they smash hard, they can at least become an eight-ring Soul Douluo-level strongman!
Today on this continent, there are at least hundreds of powerful warriors above the level of Eight-ring Soul Douluo, and at least dozens of powerful warriors above the level of Nine-ring Titled Douluo.

For Shrek Academy, an eight-ring Soul Douluo-level warrior cultivated in a short period of time with the help of energy may not play a big role, but what if the time scale is extended to decades or even hundreds of years?

If all the 108 tree holes of the ancient golden tree, or the 108 training positions, were opened to the students of Shrek Academy, then the status of Shrek Academy on the continent would definitely be raised to a higher level!
Although most students, even with the assistance of the golden ancient tree hole, a holy place for cultivation filled with huge energy, the extent of their improvement is still measured according to their own talents.

If a student cannot even break through to the Three-ring Soul Master level relying on his own talent, then even if this kind of holy land for cultivation is opened, it will be difficult for him to improve much.

If this kind of holy land of cultivation filled with natural energy were opened to the more talented and gifted students in Shrek Academy, these students would be able to avoid at least several years of hard training.

With Luo Chen's own training speed, even without relying on the life-absorbing ability of the Death Scythe martial spirit, he can still increase his soul power again within a month.

After all, the extremely terrifying energy within this ancient golden tree is no joke. In terms of energy concentration, it is definitely several levels beyond the outside world. Otherwise, it would not have been able to bring such a huge improvement to Luo Chen in just a few days.

It was originally estimated that it would take at least several months to reach the level through self-cultivation, but after such a deep retreat, it was achieved in one fell swoop, and the improvement it brought was even far more than that.

This ancient golden tree not only brought a huge improvement to Luo Chen's own soul power cultivation, but also brought an unimaginable improvement to his mental power cultivation.

It is extremely difficult to improve the spiritual level, especially for Luo Chen, who is already very close to the "bottleneck". If he wants to continue to improve his spiritual power, he must make a breakthrough.

However, it is not so easy to break through the spiritual level. Many talented soul masters have reached the bottleneck of three-ring soul master before entering the advanced academy, and their soul power level is just a little bit away from level 30.

However, due to his insufficient mental strength, he was unable to improve his soul power level and was completely stuck at the threshold of the three-ring soul master.

There are many examples of this kind. Not only the three-ring Soul Master, but also many powerful soul masters in the five-ring Soul King, seven-ring Soul Sage, and nine-ring Titled Douluo realm are stuck at the bottleneck and unable to break through throughout their lives.

This is precisely because one's own spiritual power is not cultivated enough, and the spiritual sea cannot bear the improvement brought about by the breakthrough. If physical fitness is the most important factor affecting the carrying capacity of soul power, then spiritual power cultivation is the main factor affecting the upper limit of soul rings!
Ten thousand years ago, the soul masters on the continent had already figured out the upper limit of the age of the soul rings they could absorb when breaking through to various realms.

A one-ring soul master can only live for 400 years, a two-ring great soul master can only live for 600 years, and a three-ring soul master can only live for 2,000 years. This is the upper limit of what most soul masters can absorb when absorbing soul rings.

However, many people do not know that if the quality of one’s martial soul is extremely high, high enough to change one’s physical fitness or even mental cultivation, then one can “break through” the original upper limit!

For example, Tai'an, whose martial soul has now awakened, possesses the Titan Giant Ape, one of the top soul beasts on the continent. His power level is so terrifying that it is unimaginable. His ultimate power exceeds the upper limit that can be reached in his current realm!
When one's own mental strength is sufficient, one can forcibly absorb the thousand-year soul ring at the second soul ring level, which is usually only something that a three-ring soul master can absorb and carry!
This is because the martial soul is strong enough, which allows the soul master to have a higher "upper limit" than ordinary people. In the same realm, he can carry more soul power and more mental power than ordinary people, and thus can exert stronger strength than ordinary people!

Luo Chen is exactly like this. Although his martial soul has not yet truly awakened, his attributes in all aspects are far superior to those of ordinary people, whether it is physical fitness, soul power, or mental cultivation.

However, after his martial soul truly awakened, his soul power, physical fitness, and mental strength realm underwent another qualitative change.

When he was a soul master and a great soul master, he could only absorb ordinary hundred-year soul rings. However, after he broke through to the three-ring soul master level and his martial soul was truly awakened, his physical fitness and mental strength reached the level that was enough to carry ten thousand-year soul rings!
In other words, after Luo Chen's own martial soul was fully awakened, the improvement it brought to him actually pushed him from the ordinary three-ring Soul Master level to at least the level of a five-ring Soul King!

With the blessing of various abilities, even Luo Chen, who has not yet obtained the third soul ring, can use his own strength to forcibly kill a ten thousand year soul beast with a ten thousand year cultivation base and good defense and speed! After truly absorbing the third soul ring with a ten thousand year age, Luo Chen's own strength has skyrocketed again. Even with his own three rings of cultivation, he is not at all inferior to Yao Haoxuan, a five-ring soul king whose physical fitness is comparable to that of a six-ring soul emperor!

From this we can see that the so-called upper limit is just a measurement standard for ordinary people. It is not applicable to some geniuses. For example, Tai'an and Luo Chen are geniuses who can absorb thousand-year soul rings with their second soul ring. If they are only equipped with an ordinary hundred-year soul ring in the end, then their upper limit will definitely be greatly reduced.

And usually, this kind of measurement standard is only applicable to low-level soul masters. Among low-level soul masters, most of them are soul masters with mediocre talents, so the upper limit of soul rings they can carry is naturally lower.

If we take the five-ring soul king level or even higher soul masters as a reference, we can find that soul masters at this level often have their own soul ring levels that can exceed the so-called theoretical upper limit.

Many talented soul masters also have various adventures when they break through to a higher level. Whether they reach this level with the help of elixirs, magical herbs, or auxiliary treasures for cultivation, this can still increase the upper limit of their strength.

As far as Luo Chen knew, in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy alone, there were many geniuses who could absorb spirit rings beyond their level. Some of them were able to absorb a thousand-year-old spirit ring when they had their second spirit ring.

Some even absorbed ten thousand year level soul rings when they had their fourth soul ring, which made their own strength qualitatively different from that of soul masters at the same level, and thus surpassed a group of ordinary four-ring soul masters in strength.

Although Luo Chen is also like this, since the third-ring soul master, he has directly absorbed soul rings that surpass his own level by several levels, but considering the special nature of his own martial soul, he cannot be counted in the reference range.

After all, although his realm is the same as that of an ordinary Soul Master, with his soul power cultivation at only level 40, in terms of soul power, physical fitness, or mental power cultivation, Luo Chen, a four-ring Soul Master, is comparable to an ordinary seven-ring Soul Saint!

With the physical fitness and even mental cultivation that can carry four ten-thousand-year soul rings, it is impossible to regard him as an ordinary four-ring soul master.

Not to mention in the eyes of other people, even in Luo Chen's own eyes, he felt like a monster. The upper limit of each realm was much higher than that of ordinary people!
The four-ring soul master who was originally only able to carry two thousand-year soul rings, was equipped with four ten-thousand-year soul rings. Both in terms of the total amount of soul power and his own strength, he far surpassed the ordinary four-ring soul master!

It can even be said that Luo Chen, this extremely weird four-ring Soul Master, can be completely regarded as an ordinary seven-ring Soul Saint.

After all, when he was only at the level of the three-ring Soul Master, Luo Chen's strength was enough to kill the ten thousand year old Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion, which even the five-ring Soul King could not match. Therefore, his true strength at the level of the three-ring Soul Master might be comparable to that of the six-ring Soul Emperor.

At this point, his own soul power cultivation has almost reached the level of a five-ring soul king, and his strength has increased more and more terrifyingly. Originally, he could only defeat a six-ring soul emperor like Ma Xiaotao.

And now, even an ordinary seven-ringed Soul Saint, after using his martial soul's true body, may not be his opponent!
In Luo Chen's estimation, when he improves his soul power again and truly breaks through the five-ring Soul King, his own strength will see a huge increase. Although he will not be able to contend with an eight-ring Soul Douluo like Zhang Lexuan by then, he can definitely compete with high-level Soul Saints with top-level martial spirits!

Luo Chen lacks nothing now. Whether it is the quality of his martial soul or the power of his soul skills, they are far beyond the level that a person at the current four-ring soul master level should have.

Therefore, Luo Chen's cultivation limit will be higher than that of other soul masters, just like Moon at that time.

However, Moon En, who was at the level of a five-ring Soul King, was able to contend with an ordinary seven-ring Soul Saint. And when he reached the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor, his strength was enough to suppress an ordinary eight-ring Soul Douluo. He was not much different from Luo Chen today!

With such a terrifying talent, Moon could even forcibly kill a hundred thousand year soul beast when he broke through to the seven-ring soul saint level, and then he had a hundred thousand year soul ring representing the top powerhouses on the continent configured in the seventh soul ring position!
A soul master who has just broken through to the seventh-ring soul saint level can kill a hundred thousand year soul beast that is beyond the scope of ordinary soul beasts. In the eyes of the world, this is almost impossible, but it really happened.

The meaning of this is self-evident. If the strength of an ordinary 100,000-year soul beast is beyond the reach of an ordinary Nine-ring Titled Douluo, then how powerful is Moon, who was able to forcibly kill a 100,000-year soul beast before it reached the bottleneck of a Seven-ring Soul Saint by absorbing soul rings?
Even a Super Douluo whose soul power level has reached level 95 has to be cautious and be on high alert when facing a hundred thousand year soul beast. But even so, there is no absolute certainty that he can kill it.

For a strong man of this level, it is not difficult to defeat a hundred thousand year soul beast if he uses all his means, but it is very difficult to kill it. What he needs to face will be a hundred thousand year soul beast in a rampage state, ready to exchange his life for another's.

Even if one's own soul power is sufficient to deal with any means of attack released by the other party, it is difficult to prevent the other party from escaping.

However, Moon En actually killed a hundred thousand year soul beast and turned it into his own soul ring. Although there must have been a lot of powerful people helping him, this is enough to show how powerful Moon En was when he reached the seven-ring soul saint realm.
