Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 214 The Fourth Soul Ring
A quarter of an hour passed slowly, and Xiao Xiao had already adjusted herself to her best state.

This also signifies that the first Soul Ring condensation in the Douluo Continent is about to begin.

"Xiao Xiao, don't be nervous. I'll take care of everything. You just need to guide your soul power according to the 'Soul Ring Condensation Method'."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly at Lin Po, indicating that she understood.

The defenses of the Kong family mansion were also ready, and Zhang Lexuan not only pulled Kong Deming out of the forging room again.

He even specially arranged for Xiao Hongchen to call his grandfather Jing Hongchen to ensure that no unexpected situations would occur.

The two elderly people were initially reluctant to have their thoughts interrupted by 'trivial matters'.

However, after learning what Lin Po wanted to do, they all became quite curious and immediately forgot their dissatisfaction.

The next moment, Lin Po's black and white soul power surged wildly, and the aura he was vaguely brewing made everyone present feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Even Kong Deming narrowed his eyes, looking at the boy in front of him, who was only of marriageable age, with shock.

He was quite certain that Lin Po would not have been able to pose such a deadly threat to him three months ago.

So, what exactly did Lin Po gain during his seclusion?

Could it be related to God?!
That's not surprising, since the existence of gods can't be overestimated no matter how much you overestimate them.

Upon realizing this, Kong Deming's mind cleared instantly, and his previous shock vanished.

When the black and white soul power reached its limit, Lin Po suddenly stretched out his right hand, palm facing outward, and aimed it at Xiao Xiao, who was closing her eyes and concentrating.

Then, he actively activated the part of the "Soul Ring Condensation Method" that refines his own soul power.

As the refining method was activated, the scattered black and white soul power was once again absorbed into Lin Po's body, and then underwent a rather complex circulation in his meridians and dantian for purification.

Finally, extremely pure, attribute-free, transparent soul power slowly flowed out from Lin Po's right palm and gradually entered Xiao Xiao's body.

At this point, Lin Po's work was complete.

All that's left is to continue providing sufficient pure soul power; the rest is up to Xiao Xiao's skill.

When everyone saw Lin Po stop, they knew that the first step had been completed, and they quickly turned their attention to Xiao Xiao on the ground, hoping to learn some experience from her.

Xiao Xiao lived up to expectations. Apart from being a little rusty when she first started using the Condensation Technique, the process of introducing soul power into the origin of her martial soul went very smoothly.

The process of guiding the soul power lasted for a full half hour, and the soul power provided by Lin Po was already equivalent to the total soul power of a regular Soul Emperor.

This made Lin Po even more eager to see what kind of soul ring Xiao Xiao would condense.

In an instant, Xiao Xiao's delicate and slender body trembled violently. It was easy to see that her martial soul essence had been filled with soul power and she needed to start condensing soul rings.

At the same time, a slightly ethereal white soul ring suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Xiao, and it was solidifying at an extremely fast speed, transforming into a higher level.

In just a few breaths, the white spirit ring gained a tangible appearance, rhythmically moving in front of Xiao Xiao.

As more pure soul power entered Xiao Xiao's soul ring, the white color gradually faded, replaced by a bright yellow.

The change in the color of the spirit ring is equivalent to an increase in its age, which proves that this method is indeed effective.

At this moment, everyone began to look forward to what kind of improvement and changes this first condensed soul ring would bring to the girl.

Time flew by, and the fourth spirit ring had already transformed into a deep purple color. Judging from the color, it was at least a spirit ring with a lifespan of nine thousand years.

Sweat beaded on Xiao Xiao's forehead, dripping down her nose and cheeks.

These changes naturally did not escape Lin Po's notice, and he immediately understood what the tiger girl was thinking.

"So you really want to help me that much? It seems I haven't spent much time with them since the Soul Battle Tournament."
There's no other way, I'll have to wait a little longer. I can't stop in peace until the threat is eliminated!

As Lin Po pondered, the deep purple soul ring began to turn black at an accelerated pace, accompanied by Xiao Xiao's increasingly pained expression.

Seeing this, Lin Po was about to stop Xiao Xiao from continuing to increase her age when the soul ring suddenly changed, completely fading from purple in the blink of an eye and becoming a genuine ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Xiao Xiao also spat out a mouthful of blood, but she still carried out a series of operations in an orderly manner, such as stopping the transmission of soul power, incorporating it into the soul ring, and ending her cultivation, leaving the crowd who had been watching from a distance dumbfounded.

This woman has an incredibly strong heart!
At this moment, Kong Deming also developed a fondness for this bold young girl and began to think about getting her from Jing Hongchen so that she could personally teach her. Another ten minutes passed, and Xiao Xiao's aura had completely stabilized at level 43, once again stunning everyone into silence.

If it weren't for the unfavorable timing, Xiao Hongchen and the others, who were about to break through, would have been even more eager to cling to Lin Po's coattails, just to obtain a Heaven-defying Soul Ring.

"Brother Linpo, I did it!"

The sudden sound broke the silence of the training ground; it was Xiao Xiao, who had already become a Soul Master, who stood up to announce the good news.

"It's good that you're safe and sound. We can talk about your problem when we get home. Let's talk about the difference between condensing a spirit ring and a spirit beast spirit ring first."

Seeing Lin Po's indifferent expression, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel bitter. She clearly knew that Lin Po was angry because she had disregarded her own safety and forcibly increased the age of her soul ring.

She could only hope that her older sister would say something nice and that Lin Po would forgive her this time.

As for now, let's just listen to what Brother Lin Po says.

"Xiao Xiao, show us your fourth soul skill."

"Ah, okay!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiao hurriedly released her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and threw it towards the open space in the distance.

Immediately afterward, as the cauldron reached the highest point of its parabola, Xiao Xiao activated the fourth soul ring she had just obtained.

"The tripod has fallen!"

As the soul skill was activated, the already enormous cauldron suddenly grew even larger, reaching a size of nearly ten meters.

Then, in full view of everyone, the giant cauldron accelerated and plummeted straight down from the sky.

With a loud 'boom', the ground, which was strong enough to withstand a level 5 soul-guided cannon, was easily smashed into a crater half a meter long.

"Holy crap?!"

Xiao Hongchen and the others subconsciously uttered the essence of Chinese culture.

You should know that even for a group of Soul Emperors and Soul Kings, it would not be an easy task to create a crater of this size.

Lin Po was not surprised by this. It would be too embarrassing for a cauldron that could suppress fortune not to have such power.

"Excellent, top-tier power, with suppression and locking capabilities, and quite suitable for your martial soul characteristics."

"What about the absorption process? Did you experience any particular sensations?"

After listening, Xiao Xiao first nodded, then shook her head, and amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, she began to recount her absorption process.

"Actually, the special point of condensing the fourth spirit ring is not much different from what Brother Lin Po expected. As long as we follow the steps, there will definitely be no problems."

"If I had to say, the only thing that was a little uncomfortable was the 'soul shock' that lasted from beginning to end."

"Soul tremor?! How could there be a 'soul tremor'?! There's no soul beast soul to give you a tremor! Also, what does 'from beginning to end' mean?"

Meng Hongchen's sudden question left Xiao Xiao somewhat bewildered, but fortunately Lin Po promptly took over the topic and answered everyone's questions.

"The 'soul shock' that Xiao Xiao mentioned should more accurately be called the 'origin shock'."

"The reason for this is quite simple: it is the rejection reaction that occurs when the martial soul origin assimilates a large amount of pure soul power. This is unavoidable."

"Therefore, the 'Original Vibration' will occur when the Soul Ring is first formed and will continue until the Soul Ring is formed."

Although it lasts much longer than 'soul tremor,' its safety is fully guaranteed.

"As long as you don't deliberately court death, you're unlikely to die from 'fundamental shock'."

Moreover, the 'Original Origin Vibration' can strengthen the origin of the martial soul and improve its quality. The longer the duration of the vibration, the greater the gains.

Furthermore, once a certain level is reached, the evolution of one's martial soul is not out of the question.
