Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!
Chapter 16, First Soul Ring
Back at the Martial Soul Academy, the two said a brief goodbye at the crossroads and then returned to their respective residences.
Jiang Bai did not return to the dormitory immediately, but went to the cafeteria to borrow a stove to heat up the whale glue.
Looking at the bowl of thick, scalding hot liquid in front of me, which had a strange, sweet and fishy smell.
Jiang Bai took out a ceramic jar, carefully poured in the whale glue liquid, tightened the lid, and put it into his bracelet.
Only after doing all this did he return to his dormitory.
Yan and Xie Yue were both in the dormitory.
When they saw Jiang Bai return, the two of them just glanced at each other and didn't say anything more.
Jiang Bai took a change of clothes and a towel and went into the dormitory bathroom.
After getting ready, Jiang Bai took off his clothes, sat in the bathtub filled with cold water, and couldn't help but shiver.
He took a deep breath, took out the still-warm ceramic jar from his bracelet, opened the lid, looked at the thick liquid inside, and without hesitation, tilted his head back and poured the entire jar of scalding hot whale glue liquid into his mouth!
"Well--!!"
The moment the liquid entered his mouth, Jiang Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and a painful groan escaped his throat!
That feeling was far more than just drinking hot soup!
The intense heat was accompanied by an indescribable, fishy burning sensation that spread from his mouth and throat down his throat. Wherever it passed, the pain caused his muscles to tense up instantly, and his vision to go black in waves!
He clenched his teeth and forced himself to swallow the last bit of liquid.
Soon, an unimaginable torrent of intense heat exploded in my stomach!
The violent heat spread wildly to every part of the body, every meridian, every bone, and every muscle!
He looked as if he had been thrown into a furnace; his skin instantly turned bright red, and veins bulged menacingly on his body.
The water in the icy bathtub even started to steam when it touched his body!
I don't know how much time passed, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour, but the burning sensation in my body finally began to subside slowly.
Jiang Bai's tense body slowly relaxed, and he gasped for breath, like a dying fish returning to the water.
The originally clear, cold water in the bathtub had now turned somewhat dark and murky, mixed with some impurities and sweat that had been forced out of his body.
He still felt a strong burning sensation in his mouth and lungs, making each breath a burning pain, and his voice became hoarse.
After a while, Jiang Bai finally mustered up some strength and shakily climbed out of the bathtub.
He first poured out the black water from the bathtub, then rinsed his body repeatedly with cold water until the redness on his skin faded slightly. Only then did he wrap himself in a large bath towel and walk unsteadily out of the bathroom.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror in the room, Jiang Bai carefully examined himself in the mirror.
The skin still had a faint redness, but overall it looked fine. Instead, it had a subtle, warm glow, unlike the slightly dry and yellowish skin that it had before.
He reached out and touched his arms, chest, and abdomen, and could clearly feel that his muscles had become firmer and more elastic, and the lines were also more clearly defined.
Clenching my fist, a feeling of power far greater than before welled up within me.
Strength, endurance, resilience, and the strength of the meridians have all been significantly enhanced.
In this way, the first spirit ring should be at least five hundred years old!
Strengthening the body means being able to accommodate a larger amount of spirit ring energy!
I just don't know how to explain it well...
He shook his head, putting aside his worries for the time being. His immediate priority was to sense the changes in his soul power.
Whale glue should still be able to stimulate some soul power.
He carefully sensed the accumulation of soul power in his dantian...
really!
The level 10 bottleneck, which was originally estimated to take more than a month to reach, is now clearly tangible!
That thin barrier, preventing the soul power from continuing to grow, is right in front of us!
Now, he can absorb his first spirit ring at any time and become a true spirit master!
Overjoyed, Jiang Bai suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit strange.
He turned to look at Yan and Xie Yue's bed.
The two men had somehow shrunk under the covers, wrapping themselves up tightly, with only half their faces showing. They looked at him with terrified eyes, their bodies trembling slightly.
Especially when they saw his flushed face and burning gaze looking at them, the two of them trembled, pulled the blankets up even higher, and covered themselves tightly, as if guarding against some kind of flood or ferocious beast.
Jiang Bai: "..."
……
Two and a half days later, in the afternoon, Jiang Bai went to the back mountain as usual.
Instead of going to his usual training spot, he slowed down his pace on the road, as if admiring the scenery.
Sure enough, not long after, that familiar golden figure appeared at the other end of the path.
"Hehe, senior!" Jiang Bai immediately put on a bright smile and went to greet her, rubbing his hands together unconsciously, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Qian Renxue.
"Um... about my first spirit ring... do you think we could make some arrangements?"
Qian Renxue stopped in her tracks, her purple eyes sweeping over him with a hint of surprise: "You broke through? So quickly?"
How long has it been? This guy went from level nine to level ten?
But when you think about Jiang Bai's almost self-torturing training schedule and his near-obsessive drive to become stronger, it seems... somewhat reasonable.
She carefully sensed Jiang Bai's aura, which was indeed much more solid and robust than before, and his soul power fluctuations had reached the critical point of level ten.
"Okay, come with me."
Qian Renxue didn't ask any more questions, and simply turned around and walked towards her villa.
Jiang Bai was overjoyed and quickly followed.
Arriving at the exquisite detached villa again, Qian Renxue did not take Jiang Bai inside, but instead summoned a servant to relay her orders.
Soon, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of hooves and wheels, a group of knights clad in light silver armor arrived in front of the villa, leading a convoy of carriages carrying several cages.
Each cage was partially covered with a black cloth.
"Lift it up," Qian Renxue ordered.
The knights tore off the black cloth, revealing the soul beast inside the cage.
The first cage contained a fire dragon.
Its entire body is covered in dark red scales, with a small protrusion on its head and sharp, menacing teeth in its mouth.
But at this moment, he was listless, with a sizable wound on his abdomen from which dark red blood slowly seeped out. His eyes were fierce, and his dragon tail was only half intact.
In the second cage was a giant rock rhinoceros lying there, panting heavily, with several wounds on its body.
The third cage contained a lightning eagle.
The fourth cage contained a golden saber-toothed tiger.
The four soul beasts are of different kinds and each has its own strengths, but without exception, they are all four-hundred-year-old soul beasts of quite good quality!
Jiang Bai was shocked and slowly scanned the four soul beasts with his gaze.
The soul skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are fixed, and theoretically there are no specific requirements for the type of soul beast, as long as the age is appropriate and the attributes do not conflict.
However, even if a dragon-type soul beast is only a sub-dragon, its soul rings usually have a stronger effect on the soul master's body in terms of modification and feedback than other soul beasts of the same level.
What's more, this looks like a purebred sub-dragon!
But why is this fire dragon's tail only half-length?
After a moment's thought, Jiang Bai pointed to the first cage: "Let's go with this fire dragon."
Qian Renxue nodded and gestured to the knight in charge.
The knights immediately took the other three cages and quickly left, leaving only the cage containing the fire dragon.
Qian Renxue then took out a gleaming steel longsword from her storage soul tool and handed it to Jiang Bai.
"Kill it, then guide the spirit ring into the villa to absorb it. It's quiet inside, no one will bother you."
She pointed to the villa gate.
"Thank you, senior!"
Jiang Bai solemnly accepted the longsword; it felt heavy in his hand, and the blade gleamed coldly.
He walked to the cage and looked at the fire dragon inside, which was on its last breath but still glared at him with fierce eyes.
There is no room for pity; in this world, the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts is inherently one of hunter and hunted.
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, aimed at the area slightly above the heart of the Earth Fire Dragon, and thrust his longsword fiercely into it!
"Pfft!"
The longsword pierced through its body, causing the fire dragon to convulse violently and let out a low, painful hiss. The fierce light in its eyes quickly dimmed and finally went out completely.
A bright, deep yellow spirit ring, radiating a scorching aura, slowly emerged from the fire dragon's corpse, hovering in mid-air and rotating gently.
A barely perceptible glint flashed in Jiang Bai's eyes.
He then began to guide the deep yellow spirit ring with his mind.
The spirit ring obediently floated towards him and followed him into the villa.
Once inside, Jiang Bai sat cross-legged on the soft carpet and began absorbing the soul rings.
Qian Renxue looked at the bright soul ring in the room, frowned slightly, and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Is it an illusion? Or is it a problem with the lighting?
Qian Renxue was puzzled.
Suppressing her doubts, Qian Renxue asked the two knights who had stayed behind to deal with the fire dragon's corpse, "Are you sure these soul beasts are all around four hundred years old?"
A knight immediately bowed and replied confidently, "Young Master, these soul beasts have been personally appraised by the accompanying steward and confirmed to be around four hundred years old."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded and stopped thinking about it.
Perhaps it was just the lighting or angle that made her see things incorrectly.
She waved her hand: "Clean up the body."
"yes!"
……
Jiang Bai's spirit is in his sea of consciousness.
The dragon's soul's eyes were now wide open, like copper bells.
They stared in disbelief at the enormous Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda radiating blue light before them.
(@[]@!!)
Then, the first level of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
An extremely strong suction force pulled it in.
