Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 31 Ruyi Ring

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Ning Fengzhi revealed a bitter smile that was hard to describe.

Did he not have expectations too?

Especially when his daughter brought back the Qiluo Tulip and told him that his martial soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

A glimmer of hope once flickered within him.

Perhaps, with Ning Fengzhi's help, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could be further developed and evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After he consumed the immortal herb, he indeed felt the powerful medicinal force cleansing his body, and his soul power improved.

The martial soul eventually evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

His cultivation, which had stagnated for many years, began to loosen, and he took this opportunity to successfully absorb his eighth spirit ring, becoming a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.

But...that's all.

The imagined evolution did not occur.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda did not break through that constraint and transform into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ning Fengzhi gently patted Ning Rongrong's hand, his tone gentle but carrying a hint of undisguised melancholy.

“Rongrong, I understand your feelings. The evolved Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is indeed a top-tier martial soul and is very rare, but in terms of being ‘unique’ and ‘special,’ perhaps… it still falls short.”

"After consuming the immortal herb, I was fortunate enough to break through to the Soul Douluo level, and my martial soul was also enhanced, but I ultimately failed to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"I'm afraid this list is not for me."

He raised his head, his gaze once again falling upon the magnificent sky outside the hall, his eyes regaining their usual wisdom and composure.

Just then, the golden light above the sky surged violently once more.

New ranking information is beginning to take shape.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn back to it.

New rankings and information are slowly emerging.

[Special Martial Soul Ranking, 8th Place: Ruyi Ring!]

Yet another martial spirit I've never heard of before!

Everyone focused intently on reading the introduction.

[The Ruyi Ring, a mutated martial soul. Born into the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, it should have inherited the top-tier weapon martial soul, the Haotian Hammer. However, upon awakening at the age of six, it underwent a special mutation, transforming into the Ruyi Ring. Its form is magnificent, with its ring shimmering with light, resembling neither gold nor jade.]

Its uniqueness lies in: 1. It is the only non-powerful attack-type weapon spirit in the Douluo Continent to date that mutated from the Clear Sky Hammer, and its form and function have undergone fundamental changes; 2. Upon awakening, it possesses an innate domain—the Noble Ring.

[Soul Restriction: Due to the unique nature of the Martial Soul, the Ruyi Ring cannot be attached to any other Soul Rings, causing the owner's Soul Power to stagnate at level nine for life, preventing them from breaking through to level ten and becoming a Soul Master. This restriction is extremely rare in the history of Martial Souls in the Douluo Continent.]

[Owner: Tang Yuehua (Master of Yuexuan Pavilion)]

[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, partial restrictions on Martial Soul removed (can be cultivated to the Soul King realm, with a maximum of five Soul Rings)]

The release of this list has once again caused an uproar in mainland China!
"Transformed from the Clear Sky Hammer? The Clear Sky Sect has such a martial spirit?"

"A natural talent domain? My god, even a Title Douluo might not have that ability!"

"Cannot be attached with spirit rings? Soul power is stuck at level nine for life? This... what's the use of this domain if it can't be cultivated?"

"The reward lifted some restrictions, allowing her to cultivate to the Soul King level. Isn't Tang Yuehua turning misfortune into blessing?"

The discussion focused on the following points: "the mutation of the Haotian Sect", "the innate domain", and "the inability to cultivate".

It is truly regrettable that someone with such a magical realm is unable to cultivate due to the limitations of their martial spirit.

The reward from the sky undoubtedly gave her new hope.

……

Tiandou City, Yuexuan.

Inside a classically decorated room on the top floor, filled with an artistic atmosphere.

A graceful and elegant woman in palace attire, with a gentle and refined demeanor, stood quietly by the window, gazing up at the list in the sky.

She was Tang Yuehua.

When they saw their name and martial spirit appear on the sky, especially the descriptions "cannot be attached with spirit rings" and "spirit power is level nine for life," they were deeply moved.

A complex emotion stirred within her beautiful eyes, which seemed capable of encompassing and calming all emotions.

Over the decades, she had long accepted this fact and established the Moon Pavilion in Tiandou City with this unique domain.

Teaching etiquette and manners to aristocratic children is a way of realizing one's own value.

But deep down, who hasn't longed for power, the ability to cultivate, and the control over their own destiny?
"boom!"

The moment the golden light of the Heavenly Dao's reward crossed space and merged into her body, Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled slightly.

The level nine bottleneck that had plagued her for decades, as solid as an iron wall, loosened and crumbled in an instant!
Her soul power broke through to level ten!

Moreover, she could clearly feel the invisible shackles within her body that were preventing her from absorbing the soul rings.

Although it still exists, it has loosened considerably, as if a crack has opened up.

She gently raised her hand, and the magnificent Ruyi Ring Martial Soul appeared in her palm, shimmering with light and seemingly more agile than ever before.

"Soul King, that's enough...it's really enough..."

She murmured to herself, her voice slightly choked with emotion, but mostly filled with relief and joy.

This was already an immense blessing for her.

……

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao looked at the introduction about the Ruyi Ring on the sky screen, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Ruyi Ring, the Noble Ring... It mutated from the world's number one offensive weapon spirit into a pure support domain spirit."

He nodded slightly.

"This field is of great use in both spiritual practice and governance."

Li Bai took a swig of wine and clicked his tongue in amazement: "The Clear Sky Hammer, such a domineering and fierce martial spirit, can actually mutate into such a peaceful and tranquil domain. The wonders of creation are truly boundless."

"This field is somewhat similar to my Azure Lotus Sword Intent; both can cleanse the mind of worldly dust, only in different directions."

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, looking at Tang Yuehua's information with a detached yet scrutinizing gaze.

"Haotian Sect, Tang Yuehua..."

Her red lips parted slightly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"A good-for-nothing who can't cultivate has built up connections in Heaven Dou City by relying on his innate domain, and now he's gotten a stroke of luck."

"Soul King... Hmph, an ant is still an ant."

She didn't take Tang Yuehua too seriously.

Even if the restrictions are lifted, someone who can only cultivate to the level of Soul King is still insignificant in front of the behemoth that is the Spirit Hall.

Her gaze was now fixed on the higher ranks of the list, waiting for the emergence of spirits that might pose a threat to the Spirit Hall.

……

Just as everyone was discussing the Ruyi Ring Martial Soul, the golden light in the sky flashed again, and the information of the seventh place began to condense.

This time, the golden light seemed to gather at a slower pace.

Finally, the font became completely clear.

[Special Martial Soul Ranking, 7th Place: Soft-Boned Rabbit!]

Upon seeing this name, many people's first reaction is confusion.

Soft-boned rabbit?
This appears to be just a relatively common low-level soul beast.

Although it is known for its flexibility, as a martial soul, it doesn't seem to be particularly "special" or "unique".
