My martial spirit leads me to Earth; I begin by submitting my skills to the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 30 Where are my soul rings?

There was no expected surge of energy, nor a painful fusion process.

Within the gate, the swirling nebula, at the center of its deep vortex, suddenly erupted a terrifying gravitational wave.

It is an astrophysical level gravitational collapse.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the yellow soul ring, representing four hundred years of cultivation, instantly disintegrated the moment it came into contact with the Star Gate Vision.

It was no longer a complete ring, but was forcibly torn apart by that terrifying tidal force, turning into countless streams of golden light particles.

Those light particles, like meteors captured by a black hole, traced poignant parabolas in the nebula before irrevocably plunging into the endless abyss of deep blue, where they were utterly annihilated.

The portal remained a deep blue, and the nebula continued to swirl, as if what it had just devoured was not a soul ring, but a tiny speck of cosmic dust.

The air suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

A gust of wind blew through the forest, swirling up a few withered leaves that struck the stiff faces of the group.

Su Yun remained in the cross-legged position, her hands frozen in mid-air. The sunglasses she had been wearing to look cool had slipped down to the tip of her nose because of the sudden head tilt, revealing her eyes filled with confusion.

"???"

Su Yun blinked and immediately looked inward at herself.

Empty.

That solid level 10 soul power bottleneck remained completely unmoved.

Not a single trace of soul power flowed into his body, nor did the iconic yellow halo appear.

What happened to that 400-year-old soul ring that I worked so hard to get, which was so big and so bright?

It was right here just now!

I didn't hear a sound, and they didn't even leave me a trace of soul power?

"that----"

Su Yun turned his stiff neck and looked at the petrified crowd.

"Does anyone know what just happened? It—didn't even go inside me."

The four red-haired men kneeling there gaped, their jaws slamming into the ground, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.

I'm just a spirited young man, you're asking me?

Tang San rubbed his Purple Demon Eyes tightly, even expending his soul power to activate them again, until his eyes ached and tears streamed down his face. Only then did he have to admit a fact that defied common sense.

The spirit ring is really gone, as if it was swallowed up by that door.

The person who was most devastated in the entire event was Yu Xiaogang.

The master's eyes, which were originally full of anticipation and ready to welcome his moment of glory, now looked as if the eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

His face, blackened by the explosion, twisted instantly, and he gripped his afro tightly with both hands.

! ! ! !

"It—it—ate—it—?!"

"How could a martial soul consume a spirit ring?! This is illogical! This is impossible!!"

The master staggered to Su Yun's side, disregarding all decorum, and lay down on the ground, frantically searching around the star gate, trying to find any trace of the soul ring, even a tiny speck of light.

No—there really isn't any left—

"A spirit ring is an energy entity! How could it be devoured by a martial soul? Even a weapon martial soul only carries the spirit ring, it doesn't break it down!"

Yu Xiaogang's worldview completely collapsed at this moment.

He had studied theories his whole life and read thousands of files, but he had never seen such an outrageous, domineering, and unreasonable scene.

As the master descended into madness and rambling incoherently, the atmosphere around them began to subtly shift.

Red Hair was the first to react.

He got up from the ground and looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground searching for the soul ring, his eyes full of suspicion and anger.

"Hey, old man!"

Red Hair strode forward, grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the collar, and lifted him off the ground.

"Didn't you just confidently say you were 90% sure?"

"Didn't you say that as long as I followed your method, there would be absolutely no problem?"

"Where are the spirit rings now?! My godfather worked so hard to forge those spirit rings, and they were swallowed up by that door? Was there something wrong with the incantation you taught him?!"

"I----"

Yu Xiaogang was being strangled so badly he could hardly breathe, his face turning a deep purplish-red, and he frantically waved his hands to explain.

"It's not my fault! My theory is perfect! This—this is an accident! It's because this kid's martial soul has mutated too ridiculously!"

"fart!"

Green Hair also came over, pointing at Yu Xiaogang with a look of disdain.

"What mutation nonsense! I think you're a complete liar! You went the wrong way when you were looking for rats, you got hung in a tree during the fight, and now you've gone and lost everything trying to absorb a spirit ring!"

"This level of skill and you call yourself a master? I think you're just a big fraud!"

"No—this is absurd! You can't discuss ice with a summer insect!"

Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage, pointing at Su Yun's star gate and roaring hysterically in a final attempt to make a comeback: "Su Yun! Say something! Don't you feel that although you don't have a spirit ring, your spirit power has increased? Or that your martial spirit has undergone some kind of qualitative change? Even the slightest feeling will do!"

Su Yun looked at the master who was almost crying, felt his soul power still stuck at level ten, and then looked at the star gate that was still aloof and unchanged.

He paused for two seconds, then honestly shook his head.

"Master, tell the truth—"

Su Yun pushed up his sunglasses, which had slipped down, and said helplessly.

"Still level 10. The bottleneck remains unchanged."

boom!

This sentence became the last straw that broke Yu Xiaogang's back.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes glazed over, he muttered to himself, swayed, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

Not only did he fail to provide guidance, but he also ruined someone's 400-year-old top-quality soul ring.

This is a space-type soul ring that's four hundred years old!

A priceless treasure!

Looking at the men around him, with their glares that seemed to want to devour him, and Tang San's eyes, which, though silent, clearly conveyed the message that his teacher was indeed unreliable.

Yu Xiaogang felt that his reputation had been completely ruined in this forest today.

He clutched his head in his hands, tearing at his hair in anguish, and let out a mournful wail: "I can't tell the difference—I really can't tell the difference—"

However, just as the master's desperate lament was fading away...

Buzz—! ! !

An unprecedented and terrifying tremor erupted from the stargate without warning!

Everyone instinctively looked up.

The door, which had remained unresponsive after absorbing the spirit ring, suddenly began to spin wildly within its deep nebula vortex!

It moved so fast that it instantly transformed into a deep and terrifying eye of the storm!

Followed by.

Click click click!

On the silver metal door frame, countless dark and intricate patterns suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light, as if an circuit had been activated!

A magnificent aura from another world is bursting forth from the center of that vortex!

The blue light turned into a blinding, deathly white.

The feeling was like the TV signal being forcibly cut off, leaving only frantically jumping static on the screen.

"Buzz—Buzz—Warning—Coordinates—Lost—"

The conversation between Su Yun and Lei Zhan was instantly cut off through the tactical headset hanging on his ear. In its place came a sharp, piercing static tone from the microphone and a noisy murmur that seemed to come from the deep sea.

"Hey? Captain Lei? Can you hear me? This is 001."

Su Yun frowned, pressed his finger against the earpiece, and made three consecutive calls.

"Sizzle—Sizzle!"

No response.

Su Yun's heart sank.

Since coming into this world, whether in a bustling city or a deep mountain forest, communication has never been interrupted.

But now, it's broken.

It's not that the signal is bad, but rather—

The anchor point has changed.

Su Yun suddenly looked up at his martial spirit.

The data stream on the door frame was no longer the silvery-blue representing Earth's technology, but had turned into an ancient, desolate, and primordial purple-gold color.

"This door... seems to be on a different channel?"

Su Yun pushed up his sunglasses, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

The spirit ring from before didn't seem to have been absorbed; rather, it served as some kind of toll or fuel, forcibly altering the stargate's connection coordinates.

It is no longer connected to Earth.

Instead, it is an unknown, older, and more dangerous dimension.

"puff"

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a faint wisp of silver smoke suddenly emerged from the center of the Star Gate vortex.

Followed by.

A pristine white hoof, spotless and immaculate, shattered the chaotic starlight and stepped out from the doorway.
