Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 126 Saying Goodbye to the Past

Xiao Qiang used his mental sharing to inquire about the Snow Emperor's soul. Although there were also 100,000-year-old immortal herbs at the Mandarin Duck Hot Pot restaurant, those herbs were basically unrelated to the Bone Dragon Martial Soul.

The only thing Xiao Qiang knew was the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which had a cultivation level of 160,000 years in the next 10,000 years. In other words, he only had a cultivation level of 60,000 years now. A 60,000-year-old soul spirit didn't even need to go to the hot pot restaurant. As long as it wasn't a direct relative of the Evil Emperor, a 60,000-year-old soul spirit couldn't be captured casually, but it certainly wasn't a problem.

"Okay, at which spirit ring do you plan to let him absorb it?" Since it is now almost certain that the spirit can be passed down normally, Xue Di is not very resistant to spirits. Moreover, this time Xiao Qiang only wants a spirit of 100,000 years, not a 100,000-year spirit beast. Xue Di can accept this situation.

Xiao Qiang thought for a moment. "The fifth spirit ring, I guess. The earlier a 100,000-year spirit ring is fused with, the greater the boost it will provide."

"Huh? A fifth spirit ring that's 100,000 years old? That won't do. After his physique reaches level 50, his spirit ring absorption limit is probably only around 15,000 years. Even with the whale glue you have, it'll only be 20,000 years at most. Beyond that, whale glue can't increase the spirit ring's age any further. Becoming a spirit spirit would only give him around 40,000 years at most. A fifth spirit ring that's 100,000 years old simply can't be achieved without so many spirit bones like yours!"

Tianmeng said in the sea of ​​consciousness, "Xiao Qiang has four 400,000-year-level soul bones, a 400,000-year-level soul ring for body refinement, and the Snow Emperor's Snow Pill in his body. This is why Xiao Qiang was able to easily absorb that 100,000-year-level soul spirit. Tianmeng really can't imagine how anyone else could replicate Xiao Qiang's situation."

"I know a place that is very suitable for improving physical fitness, but because that place may cause my soul power to grow slowly for a long time, I did not plan to go there in the first place. However, it is just right to let Asheng go there. He can fuse with a 100,000-year level existence when he has his fifth soul ring. Even if his soul power does not grow much for three years, it will not be a problem. The soul power increase given by the 100,000-year soul ring during the fifth and sixth soul ring periods can make up for this."

"Can you see that much? Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn't make the wrong choice. What was wrong with my brain back then? Why did I actually think that kid who wasn't even level 20 was pretty good?"

Tianmeng felt as if she had been cursed.

"When do you plan to send him to that place?" Hyotei asked in Xiao Qiang's mind.

"Let's not rush things with Asheng for now. Let him get used to the Bone Dragon Martial Soul and those four Soul Skills first. Before that, I have another matter to take care of."

…………

At the edge of the Demon Forest.

As the largest soul beast mountain range in the Sun Moon Empire, this is almost the only place in the Sun Moon Empire where one can obtain soul rings that are over ten thousand years old.

Although the time agreed upon with Xiao Qiang had not yet arrived, Bai Qingshan, who had reached level 50, was already waiting there. He truly did not expect that someone with only two levels of innate talent would one day break through to the Soul King realm, let alone that he would possess a ten-thousand-year-level Soul Ring.

It is important to know that a ten-thousand-year spirit ring is the standard for judging whether a person is a minor or middle-class noble. No matter how simple a person's clothing is, as long as the ten-thousand-year spirit ring is released, that person can be on equal footing with ordinary middle-class nobles.

The reason is simple: to hunt for a ten-thousand-year-level soul ring in the Soul Hunting Forest, having a Soul Saint-level Soul Master as a help is the minimum requirement.

Simply inflicting severe injuries on a relatively ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast without killing it requires the strength of a Soul Emperor. Not to mention, after inflicting severe injuries, holding down the soul beast to prevent it from launching a counterattack before it dies. Furthermore, this is inside the Soul Beast Forest, where you also have to be wary of possible sneak attacks from other soul beasts while preventing this soul beast from counterattacking.

Without a Soul Saint-level protector, a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is a matter of life and death for ordinary people. This is why the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is generally regarded as the most important dividing line between minor and middle-class nobles.

With a ten-thousand-year soul ring, you are at least someone who has a connection with a Soul Saint, and it can be confirmed that the connection is good; otherwise, that Soul Saint would not have helped you.

Even in the era of Douluo II, Soul Saints still hold immense value. They are almost always city lords of second-tier cities or leaders of sects with some strength. Anyone connected to them cannot be a minor noble.

If one possesses a ten-thousand-year-level spirit ring as their fifth spirit ring, it is almost equivalent to a great noble family. After all, a seven-ring spirit saint is capable of hunting ten-thousand-year spirit rings. However, the absorption limit of the fifth spirit ring is around eleven thousand years. The compatibility of the spirit beast must also be taken into account. The result of several spirit rings being blocked at the same time is that, unless one is the young master of the family, a middle-class noble family will generally choose a ten-thousand-year spirit ring when they reach the sixth spirit ring.

Now that one can have a ten-thousand-year soul ring with the fifth soul ring, how could Bai Qingshan not be excited?

Although the quality of his first four spirit rings was very poor, starting from the fifth spirit ring, his spirit rings could even be compared to those of ordinary nobles.

"Uncle Bai, you're here pretty early." While Bai Qingshan was excited, Xiao Qiang, who had arrived less than five minutes early, found Bai Qingshan's location.

"You're here, huh? Are you alone? Does that mean we can go to the Soul Beast Forest?"

Bai Qingshan looked behind Xiao Qiang and found that Xiao Qiang was not accompanied by any protectors.

"You don't need to go to the Soul Beast Forest. I already went there before, and I've already caught the soul beasts for you."

As Xiao Qiang spoke, he took out the 40,000-year-old soul beast, the Sawtooth Golden Centipede, which he had instantly killed with his Extreme Freezing Ray.

Bai Qingshan: "..."

"This soul beast's age... is it something I can absorb?"

"Normally it won't work, but I've prepared a few soul bones for you."

Bai Qingshan stared in shock at the soul bones Xiao Qiang had taken out. Soul bones seemed to be very rare even among the great nobles! Moreover, even someone like Bai Qingshan, who didn't know much about soul bones, could tell that these soul bones were extraordinary. He estimated that none of these soul bones were less than ten thousand years old.

"Soul bones are too precious. You should keep them and absorb them. This is all I have in my life. I would be satisfied if I could have one or two more ten-thousand-year soul rings."

"It's alright, let's merge. I have my own plans."

"But what about your younger brother and sister...?"

"I naturally have plans for them. Come, let me protect you. First, fuse these soul bones, and then the soul rings."

At Xiao Qiang's insistence, Bai Qingshan fused four soul bones. Subsequently, the 40,000-year-old sawtooth golden centipede was made into a wisdom soul ring by Xiao Qiang and added to Bai Qingshan's right arm soul bone. At this point, Bai Qingshan's soul bones were complete except for his torso. Furthermore, because it was a wisdom soul ring, the four soul rings in front of Bai Qingshan changed from white-yellow-yellow-purple to purple-purple-purple-purple, all of which were pulled down to the level of four years by the 40,000-year-old sawtooth golden centipede.

"Thank you, I never thought I'd have this day."

When the four purple and one black spirit rings appeared, Bai Qingshan could hardly believe it was real.

Seeing the changes in Bai Qingshan's spirit rings, Xiao Qiang shook his head. "No, I should be thanking you."

In his previous life, Xiao Qiang was just an ordinary person with no great talent or good background. He barely finished school and was brutally beaten when he entered society. There were people who helped him at that time, but people burdened with mortgages have no opportunity or time to grow. Ordinary people exhaust all their strength to take care of themselves and want to repay those who helped them, but in the end, they are stuck in their own incompetence.

Although Xiao Qiang wanted to do something in his previous life, he struggled to make a living and ultimately couldn't achieve anything, and could only live an ordinary life.

In this life, he finally arrived in a new world, with new opportunities and even a new surname. However, even though it is a surname that would normally be a good name, his name is Xiao Qiang. It is a good surname, but it becomes ordinary because of his given name.

Xiao thought this was another joke that fate was playing on him, but fortunately, bad luck doesn't last forever.

With the awakening of his soul power and his understanding of the Douluo Continent, Xiao Qiang had the opportunity to change everything. Only after seeing Bai Qingshan's soul ring complete its transformation did Xiao Qiang realize that he was no longer the incompetent person he once was.
