Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 399 The Increased Dragon God Scales, the Seventh Soul Ring
"There was a slight mishap during the breakthrough, but nothing serious," Shi Yu explained.

"You've broken through?" Elder Xuan's tension turned into surprise.

Is this level 70 already?
Jing Hongchen looked at Shi Yu with a hint of disbelief; his cultivation level had improved too quickly.

When Shi Yu first came to the Sun Moon Royal Academy for exchange, he wasn't even a Soul Emperor yet, but now he's already broken through to level 70. That's fast...

"The breakthrough was a bit rushed, but it was ultimately successful," Shi Yu said.

He won't openly admit that he absorbed a Devil Fruit.

"With your talent, you should just focus on steady progress. It's okay if it takes a few more days to break through to level 70," Elder Xuan said with a slightly reproachful tone.

Qian Duoduo and Old Song both gave a slight rebuke, but they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces; they were both happy for Shi Yu.

Shi Yu smiled and nodded, indicating that she would be more careful in the future.

"Master Hongchen, what brings you here?" Shi Yu asked curiously.

“I didn’t see you at the academy, so I thought I’d come and check on you, just in case something happened to you,” Jing Hongchen said.

"I happened to run into Master Hongchen, and after hearing what he said, I came along to see you," Ju Zi explained why she had come.

"Thank you for making this trip," Shi Yu said.

"It's good that you're alright. Don't rush your cultivation. I'll bring you some tonics later to help you recover as quickly as possible," Jing Hongchen said.

Elder Xuan frowned slightly; Jing Hongchen made no attempt to hide her intention to poach his men.

"It's not a big deal. I can recover on my own in a few days. There's no need to go through all that trouble," Shi Yu politely declined.

Jing Hongchen didn't insist too much, gave Shi Yu a few words of advice, and then left.

"You should go back and rest too. I'm really fine," Shi Yu said to Ju Zi.

"Okay, I'll come see you again when I have time." Orange also left.

Elder Xuan, Elder Song, and Qian Duoduo all followed Shi Yu into his room. Jin Gang also came out of his room and, after learning about Shi Yu's situation, followed him into the room to find out more.

Shi Yu insisted that his cultivation went astray because he was too eager to break through.

Elder Xuan and the others had no choice but to accept the situation, knowing that things were definitely not that simple. However, since Shi Yu was unwilling to say more, they could only accept this idea.

For the next week, Shi Yu focused on recovering his body and adapting to the demonic power within him.

Orange would come to see him every day, and Coco would come with her.

After a week of rest, Shi Yu recovered from the discomfort caused by absorbing demonic power.

After resting for another week and adjusting himself to his best condition, Shi Yu prepared to absorb the blood of the Dragon God.

He didn't rush to absorb the seventh soul ring, but planned to fully absorb the two hundred drops of Dragon God's blood he had obtained before considering absorbing the soul ring.

By absorbing and fusing these two hundred drops of Dragon God's blood, one's physique will be further enhanced, allowing one to withstand even greater power when absorbing the seventh soul ring.

It was still the same island as before. This island was uninhabited and had few soul beasts, making it a suitable place for him to absorb energy.

He began refining the Dragon God's blood within his body, and in just over a day, he refined fifteen drops of the Dragon God's blood.

Refining this complete blood of the Dragon God is no easy task; it's much more difficult than fusing the blood of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings.

After being refined, his right palm was covered with dragon scales.

"The more dragon god blood you refine, the less likely it is that your body will undergo the same dramatic changes as it did initially."

Shi Yu was not very satisfied with this result. He had absorbed twenty drops of the Dragon God's blood, and his entire left hand was covered with the Dragon God's scales.

The newly added fifteen drops of Dragon God's blood have only covered his right palm with dragon scales; half of his forearm is still covered. Judging from this, it seems he'll need to absorb another twenty drops or so of Dragon God's blood to completely cover his right arm with dragon scales.

Compared to the left hand, this means that the required amount of Dragon God's blood is doubled.

This is only the right hand. If we want to cover the rest of the body with dragon scales, these two hundred drops of dragon god blood will definitely not be enough.

"The improvement in my physique is not as great as before, which may be related to the fact that my physique is already very strong. The stronger it is, the more difficult it is to improve."

"Or perhaps Tang Mingxuan's Dragon God blood isn't strong enough," Shi Yu analyzed the reason.

I still lean towards the conclusion that Tang Mingxuan's Dragon God Blood is not strong enough.

It's not that his Dragon God blood isn't pure enough, but there's definitely a difference between the blood of the first generation Dragon God and the blood of the second and even the third generation Dragon God.

Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King blood and Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon King blood both come directly from the Dragon God.

Tang Mingxuan's Dragon God blood comes from Lan Xuanyu, while Lan Xuanyu's blood comes from Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena.

It's normal for there to be some differences in strength as these layers go down.

Shi Yu absorbs the blood of the Dragon God twice a week to gradually strengthen his body.

It was more than a month later when he had completely absorbed the two hundred drops of the Dragon God's blood.

After he absorbed the two hundred drops of Dragon God's blood, his right arm was already covered with Dragon God's scales, and large patches of dragon scales also appeared on his chest and back.

However, it did not cover the entire upper body, only about 70% of the upper body area.

His physical strength has been further enhanced, becoming 40-50% stronger than before the absorption.

"You should get your seventh spirit ring as soon as possible. You can't delay it for too long, otherwise it won't be good for your cultivation."

When Elder Xuan saw that almost a month and a half had passed and Shi Yu still hadn't obtained his seventh soul ring, he couldn't help but worry about him.

At first, it was thought that Shi Yu was worried about his seventh spirit ring and feared that it would be difficult to obtain.

Shi Yu had explained to him that he could find a suitable spirit ring himself, so there was no need to worry about him.

"I'll go and attach my seventh spirit ring tomorrow," Shi Yu said with a light laugh.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Elder Xuan asked.

"No need, Senior Jin Gang will accompany me," Shi Yu said.

He told Elder Xuan and the others that Vajra would help him find a suitable soul beast to make a soul ring.

"Then be careful," Elder Xuan instructed.

The following day, Shi Yu and Jin Gang arrived at the island where he used to frequent.

Instead of using the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd to bring him here, they used teleportation to bring him over.

"Senior Vajra, I'm about to begin." Shi Yu took out a divinely bestowed soul ring.

"Do what you can, and don't push yourself beyond your physical limits," King Kong reminded him.

"I will." Shi Yu sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring.

The energy of the divinely bestowed spirit ring was continuously poured into his body, and as the energy flow increased, the color of the spirit ring also changed.

The white, yellow, and purple hues flashed by in an instant, and then the ring turned black. In just a few minutes, the color of the spirit ring turned red, reaching the level of 100,000 years.
