Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Time passed by second by second, and in the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.

At this moment, a fine layer of sweat appeared on Mu Yang's forehead as he was attaching the divinely bestowed soul ring, and the dense golden threads around his body changed once again.

Golden threads began to coalesce, transforming into rings of golden light.

There were nine halos. They first expanded around Mu Yang's body, then quickly contracted, crashing heavily into him in a continuous cycle.

Each impact of the golden halo caused Mu Yang's body to tremble, and under this immense pressure, traces of crimson blood began to seep from his skin.

However, whenever Mu Yang's body suffers serious damage, a blue-gold radiance full of vitality emanates from his body.

With a flash of blue-gold light, all of Mu Yang's injuries would be completely healed. If it weren't for the bloodstains left on his skin that hadn't been wiped away, no one would be able to tell that his body had been injured before.

This blue-gold radiance is none other than one of the two great soul bone skills attached to the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor: Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life.

As time went by, Mu Yang's body suffered damage time and time again, but each time it was restored through the healing of his 100,000-year-old soul bone technique.

The cycle of destruction and restoration repeated countless times until finally, the nine golden halos that had been relentlessly impacting Mu Yang's body turned completely blood red. Then, they merged into one, transforming into a massive blood-red halo with golden patterns that appeared around Mu Yang's body.

"boom--"

A loud explosion rang out, and Mu Yang's whole body trembled. His clothes were torn to shreds, but fortunately, the manifested external soul bone, Crystal Scale Armor, prevented Mu Yang from being embarrassed by the clothes being torn apart.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged in, forming a small cloud of energy above Mu Yang's head, which then flowed into the huge golden-patterned blood-red halo in a funnel shape.

Because the divinely bestowed soul ring that Mu Yang condensed was of too high an age, the initial energy it contained was slightly insufficient, and it needed to draw on the energy of the outside world to replenish it!

Otherwise, even if the divinely bestowed soul ring is of the correct age, the energy contained within it and the effects of the resulting soul skill will not match the extremely high age of the soul ring.

The sun and moon cycle and alternate endlessly; in the blink of an eye, it's the third day.

On the open ground before the Hell Road in the Mysterious Divine Mountain, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Mu Yang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring to advance his cultivation.

"boom--"

The rising powerful aura startled Shui Bing'er, who was meditating and cultivating not far away. She immediately got up and ran to Mu Yang's side.

"Crackling and popping—"

A crisp, low crackling sound came from his body, and Mu Yang opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

"Mu Yang, your eighth spirit ring is very strange. What's the meaning of those three golden lines?"

After carefully examining him and finding that Mu Yang's body was in better condition than ever before, Shui Bing'er breathed a sigh of relief and focused her attention on the 100,000-year-old eighth soul ring with three golden patterns emanating from Mu Yang's body.

Before Mu Yang could answer, the 'Shang' who had arrived at some unknown time explained: "A 100,000-year soul ring is red, while a soul ring older than 100,000 years is red with golden patterns."

Each golden line in the spirit ring represents a year of 100,000.

"Your Highness's eighth spirit ring, which is 100,000 years old, has three golden lines, indicating that it is at least 300,000 years old!"

"Three hundred thousand years?!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's eyes widened.

Putting everything else aside, the age of this one spirit ring alone surpasses the combined ages of the nine spirit rings of a nine-ring titled Douluo with the best spirit ring ratio.

"Mu Yang, what level are you at? A 300,000-year soul ring should give you a significant boost, right?"

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask.

"Level 83 Soul Douluo, and he has already accumulated more than half of his Soul Power for this level."

Although his control over his soul power inevitably decreased after advancing to the eighth ring due to the significant increase in his internal soul power, Mu Yang was still able to accurately perceive his own soul power level.

In other words, the quality of his soul power was much higher than that of ordinary soul masters of the same level, and the soul power accumulation required for advancement was much greater. Otherwise, with the addition of a 300,000-year soul ring, the increase in soul power level would definitely be more than three and a half levels.

Immediately, Shui Bing'er exclaimed excitedly, "Level 83, more than halfway there? If you add another divine soul ring to your second spirit, wouldn't your spirit power level be close to level 87? And if you get another divine soul ring later, wouldn't you be able to break through to the ninth-ring Title Douluo level?"

"It's probably not going to work. I can sense that if I were to add a divinely bestowed soul ring to the second martial soul right now, its age would definitely not reach 300,000 years."

Mu Yang shook his head.

Why?

Shui Bing'er asked, puzzled.

Mu Yang rolled his eyes: "Bing'er, have you forgotten how the twin-spirit soul masters who appeared in the continent's soul master world before perished?"

It should be noted that he currently possesses three 100,000-year soul rings and one 300,000-year soul ring. If we include those 10,000-year soul rings, the total age of all his soul rings exceeds 750,000 years.

Such a high total age of spirit rings has already put enormous pressure on him.

Although this pressure is not apparent under normal circumstances, it becomes extremely fatal when high-age spirit rings are attached later.

This is precisely why, in the past, most twin-spirit soul masters in the mainland soul master world were burst apart during the process of adding soul rings.

It's true that he has many top-grade soul bones and has cultivated body-forging techniques, but the total age of his soul rings is also several times that of other soul masters of the same level. If he doesn't find a way to improve his physical fitness and continue to dance on the edge of a knife in pursuit of ultimate soul rings, his body might just collapse.

It's safe to say that unless all subsequent high-age spirit rings are obtained through spirit beast self-sacrifice, Mu Yang wouldn't dare continue playing this game for the foreseeable future.

Of course, with his soul power level now at the eighth ring, the quality of his soul power has undergone a qualitative change, and the cultivation threshold of "Sun Body Refinement" has also skyrocketed. In the coming period, as long as he cultivates diligently, his physical strength will be greatly improved.

When he breaks through to level 90 and becomes a Quasi-Title Douluo in the future, if he is still attached with a God-given Soul Ring, his age will far exceed 300,000 years.

Moreover, among his six soul bone slots, the torso soul bone slot is still empty. After refining the torso soul bone, which has the strongest effect on improving physical attributes, his physical strength can also be greatly improved.

After even deducing a special secret method to increase the age of one's soul bones, his physical strength could also increase dramatically by increasing the age of his soul bones, making his future very promising. (End of Chapter)
