I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 290 The Possibility of Increasing the Age of Soul Rings

The vehicles continued to move; no matter what happened, the Soul Master Competition had to continue.

Xiao Wuji lay lazily on the carriage, letting Zhu Zhuqing, Liu Erlong, and the others cut him.

With that shot, his meridians ruptured, and blood stasis accumulated in his body. To completely heal the injury, cutting flesh and draining blood would be inevitable.

Fortunately, Tang Hao replenished his supplies well last time, so he won't be at risk of running out of vitality in the short term!
Xue Qinghe had already left, and Liu Erlong and the others, "worried about Xiao Wuji's safety," hadn't gone all out, managing to keep Xue Qinghe within her bounds. Although she had been passively intimate for so long, she still hadn't revealed her true gender.

Ning Fengzhi wanted to talk to him a bit more, but he declined for the time being, citing the need to heal his injuries.

"Damn bastard, couldn't you have come two years later? If I had just two more years, I could have killed him with a single spear thrust. Why did you have to go through all this trouble!"

"Damn it, the Spirit Hall! They're taking advantage of my youth! When I break through to the next level, I'll definitely storm the Spirit Hall and kidnap that female pope to warm my bed!"

Inside the carriage, every time Zhu Zhuqing and the others made a cut on themselves, he would shout and curse loudly, all of them targeting the Pope. This frightened those who came over wanting to "get closer" to him, and they all slunk away.

Meanwhile, in the carriage traveling alongside them, Xue Qinghe's expression shifted between joy and flushed warmth, making for a truly fascinating display of emotions.

To be fair, she was genuinely pleased that someone dared to curse Bibi Dong like that, but if that person wanted to be her stepfather, then she was far from happy!

"Damn it... you ruined my plans!"

This incident completely destroyed any goodwill she had managed to cultivate in Xiao Wuji's heart towards the Spirit Hall. She had originally planned to reveal her identity and recruit Xiao Wuji as her own after the competition. But now, she had directly pushed him to the opposite side.

at the same time!

Inside Ning Fengzhi's carriage, Ning Rongrong reached out and took a packet of medicine powder from her father's hand, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Ning Fengzhi explained, "This is an aphrodisiac, but it's not a poison; it's a highly nourishing medicine!"

"Once you arrive in Wuhun City, find an opportunity to make the Divine Child take this. Let's make it a fait accompli first."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with joy, but she quickly put on a worried expression and asked anxiously, "But, but, what if the Divine Child dislikes me?"

Seeing the worry on his daughter's face, Ning Fengzhi felt a pang of reluctance, but for the sake of his "dream," he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said, "Rongrong, if you can get pregnant with the Divine Child's child on your first try, that would be wonderful! Even if the Divine Child dislikes you, he won't harm you!"

"If you cannot conceive, then I will offer you as an apology and hand you over to the Divine Child for judgment! That way, you can stay by the Divine Child's side from now on!"

Finally, perhaps Ning Fengzhi still felt a little reluctant, or perhaps he felt that the method of selling one's daughter for personal gain was too shameful, so he added, "Rongrong, you can refuse, I won't blame you!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong smiled from the bottom of her heart. Refuse? How could she refuse? She had waited for this day for so long, she couldn't wait even a minute longer! "Father, I'm willing. Let me do as much as I can for the sect before I go to the God Realm!"

……

Three days later, in Wuhun City!
Inside the hotel, Xiao Wuji looked at his still dim spirit ring and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. Although the spirit ring could not withstand another explosion in the short term, it was no longer a problem to use it normally. At most, it would just consume more spirit power.

However, the more Xiao Wuji looked at the spirit ring, the more he wanted to know what it was made of.

The explosion of the spirit rings reveals that they contain a vast amount of spirit power. But if they already possess spirit power, why is it necessary to consume one's own spirit power when using spirit skills? Shouldn't it be consumed directly like a mana bar in a game?
Is the difference in the power of spirit rings only related to the amount of energy in the spirit ring? If one can add more energy to the spirit ring, will the age of the spirit ring be increased by a little more?

Xiao Wuji felt that he could study this aspect more, and perhaps he could improve the age of his soul rings through methods other than the Divine Trial.

After thinking about these things, Xiao Wuji invited the rest of the team over, including the two guys he had brought in to make up the numbers.

Aside from the time he spent tempering his body with lightning at the academy, he hadn't really seen these two guys much. They probably knew they were just there to make up the numbers, or perhaps they'd been seriously warned by their families, so they were very cautious in front of Xiao Wuji. This caution intensified after he killed Yue Guan! Their main strategy was to remain silent if possible!
Now that he's been called into the room, he cowers in a corner, head down, not uttering a word.

However, Xiao Wuji was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he didn't say anything more. He had only called them over to give them a chance to prove themselves!

"Tomorrow is the finals. If any of you want to show off your skills in the ring, then go ahead and do it!"

"With me in command, there's absolutely no chance of defeat!"

"in addition……"

At this point, Xiao Wuji hesitated for a moment, because he remembered that in the finals, only the top three had individual matches, while the others were all team battles, so it seemed that they had no chance to perform.

"Forget it, I'll teach you some self-created soul skills depending on the situation!"

The two looked at Xiao Wuji in disbelief. A self-created soul skill? Is that something they could learn?
"Don't be so surprised. It's not even certain whether you can learn it!"

For Xiao Wuji, self-created soul skills were the least valuable thing. Unlike cultivation techniques, they couldn't circumvent the innate talents of a martial soul; at most, they only enhanced his personal combat power.

Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to spread the fame of his martial arts, which would make it easier for him to spread his martial arts throughout the world in the future and lay the foundation for collecting faith for himself.

Although he has mastered a method to become a god, it's uncertain whether this method will grant him immortality! He has only reached the level of a god in terms of combat power. This faith is a backup plan.

Moreover, how could a god not have divine weapons? And the forging of divine weapons is probably related to faith. Naturally, he would collect more and make a few divine artifacts for himself to play with!
He hadn't planned any tactics, nor did he need them. He just went straight for it. If he couldn't win the competition with his current strength, then the Soul Master Competitions were far too prestigious!
After the two left, Xiao Wuji resumed his life of romance. How could he possibly waste such a beautiful time!
