Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 132 A Great Leap Forward in Strength

Lang Lei shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and clicked to use the [Soul Ring Gift Pack] without hesitation.

The next moment, Lang Lei's consciousness fell silent, and his body collapsed onto the hotel bed.

Within Lang Lei's body, a major transformation was underway, and at this moment, all of Lang Lei's skills underwent a qualitative leap.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your level has increased to level 90."

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Your talent [Down-to-earth] has been upgraded to [Child of the World]: As long as you are alive, energy will continuously flow into your body."

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Your talent [Dual Heaven of Ice and Fire] has been upgraded to [Elemental Torrent]: Increases Lang Lei's defense by 1000%, increases Lang Lei's attack by 100%, reduces enemy movement speed by 90%, and increases Lang Lei's soul power recovery by 30%. When activated, it inflicts a stun effect on enemies, immobilizing all enemies within the area for three minutes. If the enemy's strength exceeds that of a God-King, it will instead stun the enemy for twenty seconds. All elemental damage dealt to Lang Lei is reduced by 90%, and this damage reduction is calculated independently."

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Your talent [Solid Body] has been upgraded to [Ancient Dragon Body]: When attacked, your defense increases by 300% immediately and your pain is reduced by 99%. After three seconds, the defense increase effect disappears, and you also receive a 50% reduction in final damage, an additional 30% reduction in energy damage, and a 30% increase in attack power."

"Ding! Congratulations, host! The effect of your skill [Soul Ring Manipulation] has been upgraded to [Command Zero Forbidden]: Forcibly seals all of the opponent's buff skills and passive skills, reduces the effect of active skills by 50%, and has no effect on God Kings and above."

"Ding! Congratulations, host! The effect of your talent [Burial of Autumn] has been upgraded to [King Yama's Checkpoint]: Each time you kill a living being, you can accumulate one layer of murderous aura. Each layer of murderous aura can increase the host's all attributes by 10%, and additionally increase attack power by 5% and defense power by 5%."

"Ding! Congratulations, host! The effect of your skill [Shared Grief] has been upgraded to [Old Memories]: Anyone whose mental strength is lower than yours and who is within 100 meters of you will involuntarily recall their most painful and unwanted memories. The deeper they sink into the pain, the more their strength will decrease."

For a while, the system remained silent. After a short time, the system's skill introduction panel appeared above Lang Lei's body.

The text above describes the significantly enhanced effects of the Soul Skills and the newly acquired eighth Soul Skill.

-

First Soul Skill: Thousand Shapes Shaping, can shape clay into any form, its strength is host's physical strength × host's level × 99.

Second Soul Skill: Earth's Protection, adds a layer of protective light patterns to the body, during which all damage dealt to the host is reduced by 95%.

Third Soul Skill: Soul-Eating Dust. Earth Dragon Dust inflicts a soul-eating effect, continuously absorbing the soul power of any enemy it comes into contact with. When the enemy's soul power is exhausted, Earth Dragon Dust will instantly detonate the absorbed soul power, causing widespread damage. The host can automatically choose to detonate it in advance.

Impassable (Passive, No Cost): In the area shrouded in earth dust, all enemy units experience 99 times the gravity they are subjected to.

Fourth Soul Skill: Dust and Sand Transformation

Titan's Roar

Function: A ranged killing soul skill. The damage is determined by the host's mental strength. The effective killing range is 340×90=30600 meters.

When the enemy's mental strength is lower than the host's mental strength, and the straight-line distance between the enemy and the host is less than 340×45=15300 meters, kill them directly!

When the enemy's mental strength is higher than the host's mental strength, and the straight-line distance between the enemy and the host is less than 15300 meters, it will cause a 6-second stun.

When the enemy's mental strength is lower than the host's mental strength, and the straight-line distance between the enemy and the host is greater than 340×90=30600 meters, it will cause a dizziness lasting up to 50 seconds.

When the enemy's mental strength is higher than the host's mental strength, and the straight-line distance between the enemy and the host is greater than 15300 meters, it will cause a knockback effect of 200 meters.

Fifth Soul Skill:

Soul Skill: Transformation of Mountains and Seas

Effect: Activates a soul skill, establishing a connection with one or more planets regardless of any conditions. If the host is injured, mountains and seas will shake and natural disasters will continue. If the host is safe, the world will be at peace.

In this state, all of the host's negative status and injuries can be selectively transferred to the connected planet.

Note: Currently, it can establish contact with up to 5 stars, with no limit on the number of planets, and the maximum contact range is 300 light-years.

Sixth Soul Skill: Dragon God's Lament

Summon phantoms of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King to assist in battle. The Golden Dragon King phantom's strength is twice the host's physical attributes, and the Silver Dragon King phantom's strength is twice the host's spiritual power. The phantoms possess all the abilities of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, and once summoned, they no longer consume the host's soul power, but can replenish themselves by absorbing soul power from the environment.

If one of the Golden Dragon King phantoms or the Silver Dragon King phantom is destroyed, and the other phantom still exists, the destroyed phantom will revive with half health after five minutes. This effect has no cooldown.

If the Golden Dragon King phantom and the Silver Dragon King phantom are destroyed at the same time, they will merge into the Dragon God phantom, and their strength will be greatly enhanced!

Note: The phantom is immune to all control skills.

Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Form

Transform into an elemental ancient dragon, increasing all attributes by 700% and reducing the consumption of all first-level martial soul skills by 60%.

Eighth Soul Skill: Ancient Dragon's Wrath, Peace in All Directions

Elements converge into a storm, and the ancient dragon's wrath burns across the heavens.

Thunder roared deafeningly, and flames blazed across the sky, reflecting a crimson tide.

The earth trembled and cracked, and the sea surged with raging waves.

A fierce wind howled, darkening the sky and earth; a raging fire burned, and all things withered.

Frost freezes over thousands of miles, magma surges and burns at the earth's core.

The ancient dragon's tail swung, shaking the universe; its roar carried for thousands of miles.

The power of the elements is unstoppable; the raging flames spread like wildfire.

All living beings bowed their heads and trembled; the might of the ancient dragon was unchallengeable.

It gathers all of its elemental power to self-destruct, and this damage cannot be affected by any damage reduction, mitigation, defense, escape, or other similar skills. It is 100% guaranteed to hit, and the damage is absolute true damage.

-

After a bout of dizziness, Lang Lei woke up again.

Rubbing his head, Lang Lei subconsciously tried to get up, but accidentally collapsed the bed.

"Hmm? That's strange, I seem to have some trouble controlling my strength..." Lang Lei waved his hand to restore the bed to its original position, looking at his hands strangely.

This is the aftereffect of suddenly becoming too powerful.

Lang Lei felt that he could kill a Judgment-class Honkai Beast with a single punch, but of course... that was all Lang Lei's illusion.

"Huh? I'm already level 90?" Lang Lei felt a little unreal. The previous soul ring absorptions had always caused quite a stir, but this time, he just fainted and it was over?

After glancing at the effect of the eighth soul skill, Lang Lei immediately decided that he would never use this skill unless he encountered an extreme situation!

To put it simply, isn't this just a self-destruction with true damage that allows for resurrection?

Feeling the power surging through his body, Lang Lei looked at the figure that was faintly visible in the bathroom.

He will never let tragedy happen to her again.

He risked his life.
