Douluo: Wuhun Magic Harp, summoning ancient beasts

Chapter 124: Devouring Soul Ring Transformation
All of those soul masters were shrouded in this hazy illusion, and suddenly they felt an invisible force suppressing their bodies, making them unable to move.

"I can't move! What kind of skill is this?"

"This... How is this possible? I am a Battle Soul Saint with a soul power of over 70 levels! How could I be suppressed by a Six-ringed Soul Emperor?!"

Before they could think any more, Long Chen had already moved.

He was like a king who dominated life and death, controlling the phantoms of four strange beasts, Taotie, Taowu, Kuiniu and Fire Phoenix, and launched a fierce attack on the soul masters trapped in the misty fantasy.

In the hazy illusion, those soul masters seemed to have their souls taken away from them. They became as dull as puppets and had no power to resist at all.

The seven-ringed battle soul saint was able to remain a little lucid thanks to his more powerful mental strength.

But even so, it was not enough to break free from Long Chen's suppression.

Under Long Chen's control, the Taotie phantom opened its huge mouth and swallowed the injured soul masters one by one.

The moment those soul masters were devoured, it was as if they had never existed, and nothing was left.

After doing all this, Long Chen slowly retracted his martial spirit, and the phantoms of the strange beasts disappeared without a trace.

His face remained calm, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial game.

When everything calmed down, those people were very scared.

The hazy illusion created by Long Chen was shrouded in a layer of red light fog. People outside could not see the situation inside the light fog and could only hear the painful screams of those soul masters.

Seeing those eleven soul masters disappear out of thin air, those people were frightened and felt very confused.

One of them mustered up his courage and asked in a trembling voice:
"Then... where are those soul masters? Why did they all disappear?"

Long Chen's eyes fell on the person who asked the question, and he said calmly:
"They're all dead."

After hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

Although they found it hard to believe, the facts were there.

That powerful team of soul masters completely disappeared in just a few minutes.

Only then did they believe that what Long Chen and Ye Lingling had said before was true.

These two young men truly possessed destructive power, completely destroying the dreaded pack of wolf bandits.

Long Chen did not intend to give any further explanation for the disappearance of those soul masters.

"There may be pursuers behind us. You should leave quickly, cross this mountain, and hide at the border of the Tiandou Empire. It is relatively safe there, and at least you can temporarily avoid the pursuit of the Xingluo Empire."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded quickly, their eyes full of gratitude.

"Benefactors, you have saved us once again. Please accept our greetings."

Those people knelt down again to express their gratitude to Long Chen and Ye Lingling.

"Everyone, get up, we should go."

Under the leadership of Long Chen, they carefully crossed the dense forest and finally arrived at the border of the Tiandou Empire.

The moment they arrived at the border, everyone seemed to be reborn, their faces filled with joy of surviving a disaster.

After saying goodbye to them, Long Chen took Ye Lingling away.

The two walked side by side.

Long Chen asked:

"Lingling, I will use the Taotie phantom to devour those soul masters. Are you afraid?"

Ye Lingling shook her head slightly.

"Brother Chen, I'm not afraid. You used that ability to save more innocent people. Besides, this is a fight to the death. If we don't kill them, we will die in their hands. By the way, after devouring those soul masters, has your soul power increased?"

Long Chen smiled and nodded.

"I was just about to tell you about this. My soul power has increased by two levels, and now it is level 66."

"Level 66. Brother Chen, your soul power is increasing too fast. From the end of the Soul Master Competition to now, in just three or four months, you have increased by eight levels."

"Not only that, my spirit ring has also undergone a transformation."

"Really? What has it transformed into? Let me see."

Ye Lingling was surprised and happy. She tilted her little head and looked at Long Chen with anticipation.

Long Chen smiled slightly, and then released his martial spirit and spirit ring. Seeing the spirit ring on Long Chen, Ye Lingling's eyes widened.

Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, six soul rings, shining in two colors.

Ye Lingling exclaimed:

"Brother Chen, your first two hundred-year spirit rings have evolved into thousand-year spirit rings. This is amazing!"

"This is the effect of devouring. My first soul ring originally had a lifespan of four to five hundred years, and the second soul ring was close to a thousand years. So, all in all, it only increased its lifespan by a few hundred years."

"Brother Chen, this is already very good. After the transformation of the soul ring, your ability to devour and confuse has become stronger."

Speaking of this, Ye Lingling suddenly felt worried.

"Brother Chen, your first two spirit rings have transformed into millennium level, which may attract more enemies."

Long Chen nodded and said seriously:

"Well, I'm mentally prepared. We will encounter more and stronger opponents in the future. So, I have to hurry up and become stronger."

"Me too, let's work together."

"Okay. After you break through level 60, I will teach you a method to improve your soul power. I am trying it now."

"Then I have to work harder and strive to break through level 60 as soon as possible."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and continued on their way.

Long Chen was referring to the method of condensing soul cores, which can increase the speed at which soul masters’ soul power increases, and is the key for soul masters to become Titled Douluo.

By practicing this method, one can compress the soul power from liquid to solid and immerse it in the Dantian.

The soul core will absorb external soul power while constantly rotating and provide it to the soul master.

Both its combat capability and recovery ability are much stronger than before.

The vast majority of soul masters in this world do not know how to condense soul cores.

Perhaps, only a few Titled Douluo-level soul masters can comprehend it.

However, how could those Titled Douluo easily reveal such an important method of cultivation to others?

Meanwhile on the other side.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

In the cold and empty hall stood two elders, Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

Bibi Dong sat upright on the Pope's chair, his face as cold as ice.

"No news about Tang Hao and Tang San yet?"

"Your Holiness, not yet."

"What about Long Chen? Is there no news about him either?"

"Your Holiness, Long Chen has not returned to Tiandou City yet."

A sinister smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

"That Long Chen is really a weird guy. He has offended so many people, but he didn't return to Tiandou City to hide. Instead, he took Ye Lingling out to explore. Keep sending people to look for him. If you find him, bring him to see me."

"Yes."

Although the Spirit Hall Academy team was defeated by Long Chen and the three precious soul bones were taken away by Long Chen, Bibi Dong had thought it through and would not rush to kill Long Chen.

Long Chen is extremely talented and has great potential, even the three heroes of the Spirit Hall are not as good as him.

His potential is of use to Bibi Dong.

No matter how strong she is, she needs new strength that is loyal to her.

Tang Hao said harsh words to Long Chen before leaving.

Not only that, Long Chen also faces other potential threats.

If you want to survive, you need a strong backer, and the Spirit Hall is undoubtedly a good choice.
