Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King

Chapter 51: Does upgrading a Soul Ring's age require a Soul Spirit? No, absolutely not!

In the setting of the Dragon King Legend era, there was a strict prerequisite for upgrading the age of a Soul Ring on the Spirit Ascension Platform: one must possess a "Soul Spirit".

Because the Spirit Ascension Platform is essentially for enhancing the cultivation of the soul, which in turn feeds back to the soul ring.

For the natives of this Douluo Continent era, neither Huo Yuhao nor Wang Dong'er possesses the concept of a "soul spirit".

Even the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm inside Huo Yuhao's body can only be called an "intelligent soul ring" in the strict sense. It cannot be considered a "soul spirit" that can fight independently and absorb spiritual power to evolve.

However, since Lin Feng dared to take this out and even open it as a teaching facility, it must have been patched with a system compatibility patch.

Here, the spiritual power generated from killing spirit beasts will be directly infused into the students' spirit rings in a special energy form, increasing the lifespan of the spirit rings.

"alright."

Looking down at the excited, flushed faces below, Shen Yi, who was in mid-air, poured cold water on them, telling them to calm down.

"Although this is a virtual world, I must remind you."

"Here, you are free to move around and hunt spirit beasts."

"but!"

"Don't think that just because this is a game, you can recklessly go and die."

"Here, death will not truly kill you."

"However, all the senses here are 100% real."

"In other words—"

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Pain is also real."

"The pain of having your body torn apart by a soul beast, the pain of your bones breaking—you will feel just as much pain here as you do in reality."

"and....

""

"After taking ordinary damage, you will not immediately leave the Ascension Platform."

"The system will only activate its mandatory protection program and kick you out when your body suffers an attack deemed fatal."

"But----"

"If someone is forced to withdraw due to a fatal injury, the fear of impending death and the instantaneous excruciating pain will have a tremendous impact on their brain and mind."

"It might even leave psychological scars, affecting future cultivation."

"Therefore, please proceed with caution."

"Act within your capabilities; if you can't win, run away—there's no shame in that."

"Did you all understand?"

"I understand!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Dismissed! Begin operations!"

At Shen Yi's command, the thirty-two trainees quickly dispersed into different directions in the forest, according to their pre-assigned groups.

On the east side of the forest, in a dense thicket of bushes.

-

Wang Dong'er's group was proceeding cautiously.

Wang Dong'er walked at the front, followed by Xiao Xiao, then Xi'er, and finally the seemingly weak new teammate Xu Xiaoyan.

After confirming that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Wang Dong'er slowed down, turned around, and looked at Xu Xiaoyan, who was walking at the back of the group.

"That—Xiao Yan."

Wang Dong'er slowed down and walked alongside Xu Xiaoyan, asking, "We were in such a rush to form groups earlier, I didn't have time to ask."

"What is your martial soul?"

"Since we're a team, let's get to know each other's abilities so we can coordinate better when we fight."

Hearing Wang Dong'er's question, Xiao Xiao and Xi'er also curiously came over.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan's hand flashed with light, and a crystal-clear, ice-blue staff emanating a faint chill appeared in her hand.

"My martial spirit is the ice staff."

Xu Xiaoyan said.

"However—my martial soul is a bit special."

"It will change over time."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Xiao blinked her big eyes.

"that is----"

Xu Xiaoyan pointed to the sunlight filtering through the leaves overhead: "During the day, it looks like this, an ordinary ice staff, good at ice-attribute control and attacks."

"but----"

"If it's nighttime, it will transform into another form: the Star Wheel Ice Staff."

"Star Wheel Ice Staff?"

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Xi'er looked at each other, all with surprise on their faces.

"My martial soul is different during the day and at night?"

This was the first time Wang Dong'er had heard of it.

"It's true."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded seriously: "At night, in Star Wheel form, my control will become even stronger."

"But don't worry, everyone!"

"Even though it's daytime, I'm still a level 29 control-type Soul Master!"

"I won't hold anyone back!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er was stunned. Xu Xiaoyan looked like a petite and cute girl, just like Xiao Xiao. Although appearances can be deceiving, she did seem to have little combat power. However... she didn't expect her to have level 29, which was higher than her own soul power level.

Wang Dong'er considered herself to have good talent, but now it seems that there are always people more talented than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. As for the other Shrek Academy, the minimum admission standard is level 15, so it's not surprising that some monsters appear there. However, this official Shrek Academy doesn't have any set standards. For example, Xi'er is currently a level 12 Soul Master.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was appointed as a class officer by Shen Yi, is quite formidable. I wonder if the other students appointed as class officers by Shen Yi are also quite formidable.

"No!"

"I can't lose to them!"

"I must perform well in this Spirit Ascension Training, increase the age of my Soul Rings, and catch up in level!"

Wang Dong'er clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

Just as the group was talking.

"Shhh—"

Suddenly, a rapid rustling sound came from the bushes ahead.

"Watch out! Something's up!"

Wang Dong'er reacted extremely quickly, instantly entering battle mode.

The dazzling wings of light behind her instantly unfolded, and two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose from her feet, making her soar into the air as she warily stared ahead.

Xiao Xiao also summoned the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute immediately.

"roar--!"

Accompanied by a low roar.

The dense bushes were roughly pushed aside.

Three tall, imposing black figures, accompanied by a nauseating stench, suddenly sprang out!

Those were three giant apes, each over two meters tall.

Their entire bodies were covered in stiff black hair, except for their arms, which were a metallic iron gray that reflected a cold luster in the sunlight.

The muscles on his arms were bulging and hard, like granite, giving people a strong sense of pressure just by looking at them.

"It's an Iron Wall Ape!"

Wang Dong'er recognized the spirit beast at a glance, and her expression changed slightly: "Everyone, be careful!"

"This kind of soul beast has extremely strong defense, especially its iron arms, which are comparable to refined iron!"

"and----"

Wang Dong'er's gaze swept over the soul power fluctuations emanating from the three giant apes.

"Look at that size and the fluctuations in soul power—"

"These three are all hundred-year-old soul beasts!"

"And it's at least three hundred years old!"

Three Iron Wall Apes with three hundred years of cultivation!

For this four-person team, whose average score is only two rings or even less, this is definitely a considerable challenge!

"Prepare for battle!"

Wang Dong'er gave a sharp shout, and the winged guillotine behind her instantly lit up.
