Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

Watching Ning Chuan transform into a streak of azure light and disappear into the sky, Shui Yue'er bluntly asked, "Sister, you said Ning Chuan is wrong. Do you think the Dean likes you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Shui Bing'er glared at her, but her face had already turned red unconsciously.

Shuiyue pouted, "Sister, if you and the Dean really get together in the future, do you think you could help your little sister? I've liked him for a long time too."

The two chatted back and forth, and everyone was already used to Shuiyue'er's infatuation with men.

Huo Wu, on the other hand, seemed to be preoccupied, and didn't come back to her senses until everyone had left.

After leaving Sunset Forest.

Ning Chuan arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest and activated his hunting mode again, but this time he wasn't just evolving the Eight Spider Lances.

The bone fragments of the spider god's possessed body also need to be evolved.

Without Tang Buddha's Sea God Light providing any advantages, Ning Chuan still wasted a considerable amount of time.

After spending two years hunting down almost all the human-faced spiders over 5,000 years old in the Star Dou Great Forest, including the 30,000-year-old human-faced spider that Tang San hunted after obtaining Xiao Wu's sacrifice in the original story, and the human-faced spider king that served as the fifth spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer.

The torso bones and eight spider spears have finally evolved to god-level.

As the two soul bones evolved, a golden pillar of light erupted from Ning Chuan, its astonishing energy radiating outwards to a radius of dozens of miles.

Ning Chuan felt his torso getting hotter and hotter.

Especially in the back area, there was a constant feeling of power emanating from it.

Looking again at the eight spider spears on his back, they had completely turned into a crystal-clear cyan color, with the sharp parts being a brilliant gold. They had detached from Ning Chuan's body.

It transformed into a pale golden ring. And the eight spider spears floated silently behind Ning Chuan.

"It seems a bit different from the description in the novel, more like the anime. But I'm also the only Soul Saint with only five Soul Rings."

Ning Chuan muttered to himself and put away the Eight Spider Spears.

In the past two years, Ning Chuan's gains have certainly not been as simple as the evolution of the Eight Spider Lances and the torso bone.

Along with that, his soul power also increased from level 66 to level 72.

His Xuan Tian Gong skills have risen even higher, and he has already cultivated it to the ninth level.

Along with his cultivation level, the Purple Demon Eyes also increased in spiritual power, reaching the third level, the Mustard Seed realm.

Ning Chuan now possesses mental strength comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

"Brother, hurry up and release your spirit rings, there's a surprise waiting for you." At this moment, Ah Yin's pretty figure appeared in front of Ning Chuan. The only difference was that Ah Yin had grown up quite a bit, transforming from an eleven or twelve-year-old loli into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Ning Chuan released his spirit rings and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. He was surprised to find that not only the fifth spirit ring, the Blue Silver Emperor natal spirit ring, but also the previous four spirit rings had changed from the original yellow-purple-purple-black to four black.

"What's going on?" Ning Chuan asked in surprise.

Ah Yin smiled slightly and said, "After your fifth spirit ring evolved into a 100,000-year spirit ring, I was able to use all the skills of the Blue Silver Domain. When you were evolving your spirit bone just now, I tried using the fourth evolution skill of the Blue Silver Domain, 'All Rivers Run into the Sea,' to absorb the energy of the nearby Blue Silver Grass and inject that energy into your first four spirit rings. Now their ages have all reached 50,000 years, but that's already your current limit. With my current abilities, I can only raise them to 50,000 years at most. If you can cultivate to the Title Douluo level and retrieve my spirit ring, you should be able to raise them all to the 100,000-year level." "It's alright, that day won't be too far away," Ning Chuan said with a nonchalant smile.

"Hmm." Ah Yin nodded emphatically, then asked, "Brother, where do we go next?"

"It's time to go find Xiao Wu and ask her to help us find out if there are any 100,000-year-old soul beasts nearby."

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Ning Chuan originally planned to use the spirit ring that Ah Yin had placed on Tang Hao as his sixth spirit ring.

Now that the external soul bone and the Spider God's possessed torso bone have evolved to the god level, the previous five soul rings have also evolved.

And it just so happens to be in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ning Chuan believed he already possessed the strength to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Therefore, it would be necessary to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast to serve as the sixth soul ring.

As for Ah Yin's spirit ring, it is highly unlikely that it will provide him with any powerful skills. Even if it does, it will most likely overlap with Ah Yin's own skills. Rather than that, it would be simpler to use it as the seventh spirit ring to obtain a spirit ring with fixed skills for the Martial Soul True Body.

Ah Yin nodded, "Indeed, with your current strength, brother, plus Ah Yin, hunting a 100,000-year-old soul beast shouldn't be too difficult."

As the two were talking, the shockwave generated by the simultaneous evolution of the two soul bones into god-level forms, centered on Ning Chuan, finally dissipated.

Just as Ning Chuan was about to head to the Lake of Life, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura locking onto him.

With the Purple Demon Eye activated, almost instinctively, Ning Chuan exerted force in his left arm, activating the second skill of the 100,000-year-old Crimson Rock Turtle's left arm bone: Mystic Light Shield.

At the same time, his second spirit ring also lit up.

A blue light shield and an earthy yellow light shield enveloped him, one inside and one outside.

As soon as the two layers of light shield were formed, countless blood-red light spikes fell like raindrops. These light spikes fell in a curved pattern, like flying needles, sweeping towards Ningchuan from all directions.

Only when he got closer did Ning Chuan realize that these light spikes were actually sharp spikes over three feet long.

It does bear some resemblance to the spikes on the human-faced spider king when it is possessed by the spider god.

Ning Chuan had nowhere to avoid it. He could only let the beams of light strike the light shield.

To his surprise, the 100,000-year-old Crimson Rock Turtle, known for its defense, had its 100,000-year-old defensive soul bone technique, the Mystic Light Shield, pierced through after only a moment under the attack of these spikes.

Ning Chuan frowned and quickly released the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, which enveloped the sword and shield, causing the spikes to be deflected and then annihilated.

At this moment, a huge, semi-transparent spider-like figure, resembling a small mountain, appeared behind Ning Chuan. The spider seemed to be covered with spikes about ten feet long, and each spike was covered with many spikes more than three feet long.

Unsurprisingly, the blood-red spikes just now came from its body.

The translucent spider figure then became completely transparent in an instant, disappearing from sight completely. (End of Chapter)
