Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 9 The Second Soul Ring
A few days later, news came that the Haotian Sect was forced to close its sect by the Spirit Hall. For a time, the two empires felt the tyranny of the Spirit Hall, and even the war conflicts on the border were reduced.

Ning Bei came to the meeting room to find Ning Fengzhi.

"Father, when should I go get my second spirit ring?"

Ning Fengzhi has been in a very good mood recently because of his wife's pregnancy again and Ning Bei's spiritual power breakthrough. There is always a comfortable smile on his face.

"Oh? You can't wait?"

Ning Bei scratched his head with a smile but said nothing. Now that he would soon obtain the second soul skill, he was indeed excited.

"Then let Grandpa Gu take you to the Xingdou Great Forest this time."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Ning Bei thanked happily, ran out of the meeting room and went straight to Gu Rong's residence, which made Ning Fengzhi shake his head.

The door of Gu Rong's residence was useless to Ning Bei. He walked in quickly and found Gu Rong resting with his eyes closed.

"Grandpa Gu, I'm level 20 now. I can get my second spirit ring."

Gu Rong smiled as he looked at the excited Ning Bei in front of him, expressing his understanding, as he had gone through the same thing himself.

"So, Belle, have you decided what kind of soul beast you need to find?"

Ning Bei had thought about this problem a long time ago. Since his martial soul did not require a soul beast with corresponding attributes, of course, it would be impossible to match it even if he wanted to. So he just needed to find a soul ring of similar age.

"Grandpa Gu, my martial soul doesn't have too many requirements for the attributes of the soul ring, so I just need to find a soul beast that is nearly a thousand years old."

Gu Rong frowned when he heard this.

"Isn't it too dangerous to be close to a thousand years old? You know, my second soul ring is only from a soul beast that is over 700 years old, and I'm a combat soul master."

Ning Bei was speechless after hearing this, he felt that he had been very conservative and did not directly choose the second soul ring to go directly to 1000 years. Firstly, the purple second soul ring was too eye-catching, and he could hardly go out now. If this happened again, he would be in jail even more.

The second and most important point is that he is afraid of pain.

"Grandpa Gu, this is what my father and I have discussed. My body can probably withstand the pressure of a great soul master of around level 28. It's close to being a soul master. There will be no problem for less than a thousand years, and the yellow second soul ring won't be too eye-catching."

After listening to it, Gu Rong thought it made sense, so he did not refute it. He told Ning Bei to pack up and took him directly to the Star Dou Forest.

After several hours of flying, the two arrived at their destination.

Ning Bei was still as excited as ever when he came here again after two years.

Gu Rong also told Ning Bei to follow him closely after entering the forest and not to run around. The two began to look for soul beasts of the right age.

This time their luck was obviously not as good as the last time when they came with Chen Xin. After searching for two days, they found that either the age was too low or too high.

But Ning Bei did not complain, as situations like this were the norm for soul hunters.

"Belle, it looks like we can't find a suitable target today, so let's just rest here for one night."

Ning Bei looked around after hearing this. Compared to other places in the forest, this place was quite spacious and was indeed suitable as a resting place.

"That's it, that's all we can do."

The two of them lit a fire, and after eating some dry food, Ning Bei leaned against the pile of rocks and began to cultivate his soul power.

The whale glue and the increasing cultivation have made Ning Bei's physical fitness improve sharply, so it is no big deal for him to not sleep for a few days.

Just when Ning Bei was practicing peacefully, Gu Rong interrupted him.

"Belle, there's some movement over there, let's go and take a look."

Then he started walking forward.

Ning Bei was awakened and followed Gu Rong's footsteps after hearing the sound.

When I arrived in front of the woods and looked up, I saw two snake-like soul beasts fighting for prey.

The prey was a dead soft-boned rabbit.

Ning Bei thought to himself after discovering this: "Good fellow, these two snakes are ready to die."

There were two snake-like soul beasts, one with small wings and a cockscomb on its head, and the other was completely black. Gu Rong was immediately delighted when he saw them.

"Belle, these are a cockatiel and a black water python. The cockatiel is just under 1000 years old, and the other one is over 1000 years old. What do you think?"

This was judged by Gu Rong from the size of the cockscomb. Ning Bei was also happy after hearing it. After the joy when he first arrived, Ning Bei had passed the excitement period. The only thing left was the discomfort with the wild. Now he can finally finish his work and go home.

"Grandpa Gu, I want the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong flashed and came to the center of the confrontation between the two sides, raising his hand to grab the target's vital point.

The crested snake felt threatened and tried to run away immediately.

Although the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake is a soul beast known for its speed and ordinary Soul Masters cannot catch up with it, it also depends on who is chasing it. Gu Rong is a rare Titled Douluo in the world, and a small snake cannot escape from his palm.

Soon he was caught by the seven-inch claws and could not move. He used his soul power to knock him unconscious and came to Ning Bei with the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake.

"Belle, come on."

Seeing this, Ning Bei took out the prepared dagger from his soul guide and ended its life with one blow. Having experienced this once, Ning Bei no longer had any psychological barriers.

A circle of deep yellow soul ring emerged from the body of the Phoenix-tailed Cockatoo.

Ning Bei then sat cross-legged and summoned Danta, and began to use his soul power to pull the soul ring.

Seeing this, Gu Rong also became alert to his surroundings. He had heard from Chen Xin about the last situation that soul beasts must not be allowed to disturb Ning Bei from absorbing the soul ring.

Two hours later, Ning Bei opened his eyes excitedly.

"Grandpa Bone, I..."

What caught my eye was the unconscious soul beasts all over the ground.

"Belle, let's go first. Now is not the time to talk about this."

He almost forgot that his Danta would attract soul beasts. He nodded to Gu Rong, and then Gu Rong grabbed Ning Bei Fate's neck and flew away.

"Grandpa Gu, can you change your posture?"

Gu Rong ignored Ning Bei's shouting and flew out of the forest with all his strength.

Not long after, the two came to an uninhabited mountain range and Gu Rong let him go.

"How is it? Bei'er, is the soul skill suitable?"

Ning Bei rubbed his aching neck and glanced at Gu Rong speechlessly.

"The soul skills are suitable, but my neck is not suitable."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong looked up at the sky awkwardly.

Ning Bei stopped talking nonsense to the other party and released his second soul skill.

I saw a jade bottle appear in his hand, and then he summoned his martial soul. The second soul ring lit up, and a circle of liquid flowed out from the second layer of the Dan Tower and was filled in the jade bottle. Then, several pills of various colors appeared in his hand.

Gu Rong looked at Ning Bei's actions with a puzzled look on his face.

"Isn't it Danta? Why are you still talking nonsense when you don't agree with something?"

Ning Bei rolled his eyes at Gu Rong and explained the effects of the elixir.

"This liquid is called Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. It can be used to enhance the soul warrior's innate soul power by taking a bath and absorbing it, but the effect is very limited."

Gu Rong's eyes widened when he heard this. He had never heard of anything that could enhance one's innate soul power. He then wanted to know just how limited this power was.

“How effective is it?”

Ning Bei thought for a moment and said, "It's quite effective for soul masters with innate soul power below level 5. If they start soaking in it every day at the age of four, it can probably be raised to level 5. However, the effect on soul masters with innate soul power above level 5 is quite limited."
