Chapter 240 Soul Manifestation, Limiter
The Ancient God Ring is indeed extraordinary!
Although surprised, Ye Mingqiu did not feel particularly scared or panicked, because he had directly obtained the Eye of Omargon by enduring the curse of the ancient god's remains. He could even withstand the curse of the ancient god's remains, so how could he be afraid of this ring?

"In short, I used this ring to convert the power of the curse and enhance my soul strength," Ye Mingqiu said.

"High resistance makes you tough. I wouldn't take this stuff even if it were free. It's a soul essence refined from curses by the power of ancient gods. It's like arsenic plus realgar, poison on top of poison! I'd be crazy to use it to enhance my soul strength!"

Chen Ran looked at the Eye of Omargon with disgust, his brows furrowed tightly, his gaze more repulsive than if he were looking at a deadly poison.

The next moment, the Eye of Omargon in Ye Mingqiu's hand suddenly opened. The eyes of the ancient god stared at him, a faint pressure emanating from it, and the aura unique to the Eye of the Ancient God automatically rose.

"Holy crap! This thing is still alive!"

Chen took a step back, and then quickly realized that the ring was the legendary cursed ring of the God Lord, a cursed type of equipment with growth characteristics.

Meeting → Auto-pickup → Auto-binding → Auto-equip → Auto-triggering traits = Death

Nobody wants to see this monstrosity!
Seeing Chen Ran retreat in fright, the Eye of Omargon revealed a smug grin, then quietly closed its eyes and returned to silence.

"What a wicked thing!"

Chen Ran cursed under his breath, but quickly calmed down again, because although the Eye of Omargon was as dangerous as a nuclear contaminant, Ye Mingqiu could still suppress it.

Then, his expression gradually changed, and he revealed a playful smile again, saying, "Since you enhanced your soul strength by tempering the curse power with the power of the ancient gods, your soul essence must have been more or less tainted with the aura of the ancient gods."

"Of course, your resistance to abnormal statuses is ridiculously high, so that little bit of aura shouldn't have much of an effect on you, but it might not be the case for others."

"You have an idea?"

Ye Mingqiu asked curiously.

"I'll teach you a technique called Soul Manifestation. The essence of this technique is to manifest your own soul, making it clearer so that outsiders can see it clearly. It has no offensive or defensive capabilities, and the specific operation is very simple, but..."

"You want me to manifest the aura of an ancient god and scare people?"

"Correct."

Chen Ran chuckled. Just imagining Ye Mingqiu manifesting his soul in front of everyone and exposing the terrifying aura of an ancient god was incredibly exciting and fun.

"I won't learn it, I won't use it. What if I'm hunted down as an ancient god reincarnated? This soul manifestation is a bit too dangerous," Ye Mingqiu said, shaking his head.

"It's alright. Don't you know how to use divine power? Divine power is the most powerful force that can restrain ancient gods. Which ancient god can use divine power? It's very easy to prove it."

Chen Ran leaned back on the sofa, smiling contentedly as he continued, "When the time comes, just say that you used a special tool to imbue your soul with the aura of an ancient god. The principle is pretty much the same anyway, and there won't be any problems if you investigate further."

"Too dangerous."

Ye Mingqiu shook his head, but he was still somewhat tempted, because he possessed the top-tier equipment [Riddle Veil], which had extremely strong concealment capabilities.

If you use the [Enigmatic Veil] to change your apparent identity, then manifest your soul to reveal a sufficiently powerful ancient god aura, and use the [Lord of Light and Shadow] title to display [God] characteristics, you might actually be able to produce interesting effects in certain special scenarios.

The manifestation of an ancient god's aura without any divine characteristics is too fake. Although it can fool people for a while, it only lasts for a short time.

The soul manifests its aura, the Eye of Omargon displays its power, the Lord of Light and Shadow bestows divine qualities, the veil of riddles shapes information and form, the blood spear releases the blood flames of curse, and then I use the ultimate abyssal power, the exact opposite of divine power, and so on.
It should look realistic now, right?
Additional information: The power of the Ancient Gods is a powerful force unique to the Ancient Gods, with an intensity level of 2.9. It is the highest level of power, second only to the Sequence. It is precisely because the power of the Ancient Gods is not as strong as the Sequence that some powerful Ancient Gods choose to study and cultivate the Sequence power that is suitable for them.

The Abyss Power is precisely the top-tier sequence power suitable for cultivation by ancient god-type powerhouses. Although it is ridiculously difficult to master, it is indeed possible to master.

Under normal circumstances, the power of the sequence is absolutely impossible for anyone to master, not even through the Holy Evolution using the [Holy Emblem].

Ye Mingqiu was able to obtain Sequence Power because he happened to have added points to his talent, which directly raised the strength level by one level, thus enabling him to master Sequence Power - Divine Power, which would be impossible to master under normal circumstances.

"Give it a try! Give it a try! Who knows what interesting things might happen in the future! I love watching these kinds of shows and these interesting stories."

Chen Ran took the initiative to move closer. As an old friend he had known for two years, how could he not see the slight hint of attraction in the other's eyes? Although the guy didn't agree on the surface, he definitely had something in mind.

So he continued, "Hey, how about this, after you finish learning it, use it to do me a favor, and that will be the price for the limiter I gave you."

"can."

"Let me tell you, soul manifestation is actually a fairly simple technique for using the soul. You just need to do this, that, and that, and you can complete it directly! Simple, right?"

Chen Ran looked at him with a smile, his face full of amusement. Although he had explained the general idea, he hadn't mentioned any of the key details.

This way of presenting a topic is like saying: "Look, this is the equation for deuterium-tritium fusion. Now, you can develop how to build a hydrogen bomb!"

How could he possibly learn that so easily!

Hahaha!
You should come and beg me.
"Manifestation".

Ye Mingqiu activated his soul power, and a terrifying aura immediately spread out. The shocking fluctuations originating from his powerful soul and the aura of an ancient god descended instantly, and the terrifying fluctuations instantly suppressed Chen Ran who was nearby.

"This"

He stared wide-eyed at Ye Mingqiu, who had successfully used Soul Manifestation, feeling his brain briefly freeze.

Although Chen Ran was willing to believe that Ye Mingqiu was just his ordinary friend, the problem was that there were too many outrageous things about this guy, and he had to consider whether this guy might be an old man reincarnated.

His fighting instincts and spiritual potential are ridiculously strong! And he learns things so quickly! What other reason could there be?
opened?
"You're right, this technique isn't that difficult to learn. Your explanation was very thorough, and I feel like I've completely understood every detail," Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

"Ahaha, that's good."

Chen Ran took out a scroll from his storage space. The ancient animal hide scroll was unfolded, and various complex patterns were engraved inside.

He pointed to the core of the pattern, to a blank space in the upper left corner, and said, "This is where the contract is signed. After pressing my handprint, I can summon you once. This is my precious treasure; I spent a great deal to get it."

"Who pressed the mark on the right?"

Ye Mingqiu glanced at the prompt from the spirit world, confirmed it was correct, pressed his hand seal, and asked curiously.

There are three blank spaces on the scroll, which are three places to press a mark. They should be three different types of contracts. The contract in the middle connects the two sides. If he guessed correctly, it is Chen Ran's own mark.

The one on the left is a one-time use mark, while the one on the right appears to be a permanent summoning mark.

"My old man will protect me when I'm in danger. People from top-tier forces all have this kind of life-saving ability. If they don't, it means that the other party is not important to their own forces, or that they are not well-liked."

Chen Ran explained.

"Oh, I see. So our Young Master Chen is so capable. It's really beneath him to come to this school to study," Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

"Hey, it's nothing, I was just young and reckless. Now I'm being chased like a dog, it's tough!" Chen Ran sighed painfully.

"Then why don't you just say less?"

"If I could say less, would I still be myself?"

"As expected of you."

"Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other, and then burst into laughter at the same time, their laughter growing louder and louder.

After laughing together for a while, Chen Ran took out a bright silver bracelet from his storage space and said, "This thing is called a Soul-Suppressing Ring. It was made by a craftsman and is not a product of the spirit world. It is a defective product."

"Defective product?"

Ye Mingqiu frowned in confusion. Based on his understanding of Chen Ran, this bastard would never maliciously give him a defective product.

So he said directly, "The main function of the Soul-Suppressing Ring shouldn't be suppressing the soul, right?"

"clever!"

Chen Ran clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The Soul-Suppressing Ring is a special device used by our Soul Clan to hide our tracks and conceal the abnormal fluctuations caused by excessively high soul strength. In essence, it is a special device for concealing one's aura."

"But there was a slight accident during the forging of this Soul-Suppressing Ring. The craftsman made a mistake when inscribing the soul mark, but it did not fail to forge. Instead, it created this special Soul-Suppressing Ring that can suppress the strength of the soul, and it was put into the family warehouse."

"I see."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in relief, picked up the Soul-Suppressing Ring, and checked its basic attributes. [Soul-Suppressing Ring (Unusual)]

Rank: First Rank

Quality: dark gold

Category: Horcrux

Soul Load: 10
Equipment effect: Suppresses one's own soul, reducing soul strength by 200 points. Once bound, it cannot be resisted by abnormal status resistance.

Creator: Black Eye
Craftsman's Profile: Oh my god! This thing lowers soul strength?! Wait, did I accidentally include that line in the profile? Delete it! Spirit Realm, you deleted it!

"This is... a Horcrux?"

Ye Mingqiu raised an eyebrow. He had only seen soul weapons in popular science books, and this was the first time he had actually seen one in person.

After all, Soul Weapons are extremely rare, and their production from the Spirit Realm is very low, making it very difficult to obtain them from the Spirit Realm.

"That's right, this is a soul weapon. It consumes the soul's potential capacity to achieve various unique effects, and it is also the equipment used by us soul cultivators."

Chen Ran continued to urge, "Are you really not planning to become a soul cultivator? We soul cultivators are very powerful."

"How powerful?"

"I dare to fight a level 10 player when we are of the same class."

"Qingyu is level 10, go fight him."

"Snapped!"

Chen Ran slammed his fist on the table in anger and said, "No way, except for this kind of freak. This guy's speed and perception are far superior to mine. His killing range is even greater than my soul attack range. I can't hit him at all."

"BYD learned their lesson after I tricked them once. Once they sensed me, they immediately used [Time Acceleration] to attack, and I couldn't do any damage to them."

"Tsk!"

"What kind of look is that! I'm being restrained, you understand?"

“He has a detector given to him by the bobcat. It’s a second-order device, and I can’t hide it!”

"Damn it! It's only because of the level difference that I'm good. If we were both level 10, I would have crushed him! Time Acceleration is such a trash talent, it's not even as good as my Soul Life Holy Body!" Chen Ran cursed.

"Clap clap clap!"

Ye Mingqiu clapped his hands and said, "Well said. I recorded it. I'll let him hear it later."

"Let's record it then. I'm already being chased by him anyway, what's a little something extra? Besides, the Soul Life Saint Body is stronger than Time Acceleration, isn't that normal?" Chen Ran said matter-of-factly.

"Haha."

Ye Mingqiu smiled as he put on the Soul-Suppressing Ring.

This thing is superior to the divine curse mark. The divine curse mark cannot be easily removed; it can be washed away with the power of the demonic abyss.

However, Horcruxes are different. They can be freely equipped or removed without worrying about soul potential being occupied. They are very convenient to use and have quite good effects. As a result, the price of Horcruxes has always remained high.

After successfully wearing it, an invisible pressure descended instantly. The feeling did not originate from the body, but from the soul. However, the pressure was not particularly great for Ye Mingqiu; he only felt a slight sense of heaviness.

Simultaneously
More importantly, after Ye Mingqiu's soul strength was suppressed, he felt that the amount of information he passively received through his soul seemed to have decreased significantly, as if the whole world had become clearer and his efficiency in combat and learning had also increased.

Oh! That feels really good!
Unfortunately, the Soul Suppressing Ring could not completely suppress his soul strength. Even though his soul strength had been reduced by 200, it was still far higher than his other four attributes and remained unbalanced.

Then, a question suddenly popped into Ye Mingqiu's mind. He looked up and asked, "By the way, this thing suppresses soul strength, but what would happen if someone with a soul strength of less than 200 wore it?"

"Is that even a question? If your soul strength drops to zero, you'll just become a vegetable, right?" Chen Ran shrugged and said.

"If I remember correctly, there aren't many first-tier psionicists whose soul strength can reach 200, right?" Ye Mingqiu continued to ask.

"Of course! Do you think everyone can increase their soul strength as easily as you?"

Chen Ran answered, but his expression changed as soon as he spoke, and he asked, "You're not planning to use this thing to trick someone, are you? Nobody's stupid enough to equip someone with something like this and turn them into a vegetable, and it's useless even if you take it off."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded, but in his heart he thought: That's not necessarily true.

Under normal circumstances, a normal psychic would never do such a thing, but he has ways to put psychics into an abnormal state, such as the bewitching of the Eye of Omargon, which corrupts the mind and causes the person to wear the item when their reason is impaired.

This is entirely feasible!
Although it's not usually necessary, if you encounter someone you can't kill directly, you can use this method to indirectly eliminate them.

After briefly experiencing the soul suppression, Ye Mingqiu removed the Soul Suppression Ring. This item was not suitable for wearing all the time, because Ye Mingqiu's strength came from constantly adapting to his soul. Although his brain could not yet fully receive the information from his soul, it could continue to adapt and become stronger.

If he wears this thing regularly, his normal strength will indeed increase, but it will not be conducive to growth. It is more suitable to wear and use it in battle or training to temporarily enhance his combat power.

And
If he continues doing this, some unsuspecting people might mistakenly believe that this is top-tier equipment that enhances strength and predictive abilities, and if someone tries to steal it...
That would be fun!

"By the way, aren't you curious about what kind of talent and physique the Soul Life Saint Body has?"

Chen Ran looked at Ye Mingqiu, who was studying the Soul-Suppressing Ring, and couldn't help but ask.

"Curious."

"Then why didn't you ask me?"

"Because I feel that you're trying to show off in front of me by saying something, but I just don't ask, and it's fun to leave you anxious," Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.

"Damn it."

Chen Ran subconsciously cursed, but then he noticed someone walking from the other side. He recognized the figure; it was Tang Ruobing, the top lawyer from Chenghai Middle School.

She carried a plate of cut fruit and walked naturally to Ye Mingqiu's side. Under Chen Ran's gaze, she casually used a toothpick to pick up a piece of apple and put it into Ye Mingqiu's mouth. At the same time, she looked at Chen Ran and politely smiled and asked, "I cut some fruit, would you like some?"

"I am full."

"Oh."

"You're so lucky to have found such a great girlfriend. Why don't I have the same luck as you? Really," Chen Ran sighed.

Then, Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing exchanged a glance, and both of them smiled at the same time. Their smiles were equally meaningful, and they grew brighter and brighter as they smiled.

"Then I wish you the same luck as me in the future," Ye Mingqiu said.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

"You're welcome."

"By the way, are you really not going to ask me about the Soul Life Saint Body? Just ask, and I'll tell you. I don't tell anyone else," Chen Ran couldn't help but continue.

I don't want to ask.

Ye Mingqiu answered decisively, then looked at Tang Ruobing beside him.

The other party secretly shook his head, meaning that he didn't know what this Soul Life Holy Body was either. However, this physical talent was most likely the Soul Clan's top hidden talent, and it was normal that it wasn't mentioned in the regular information.

Ye Mingqiu nodded slightly, indicating that he knew. Chen Ran had said that the Soul Life Saint Body was stronger than Time Acceleration, and he said it so matter-of-factly, as if Qing Yu should have known it all along.

Then go ask Qingyu!

Chen Ran, you should hurry up.

Hahaha~
