Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

After a long while, Mu Yang stopped cultivating, turned to look at Shui Bing'er not far away, and said, "Bing'er, I've almost reached the critical point in my cultivation. What about you?"

Having previously experienced a surge in soul power level, Mu Yang has finally cultivated the "Sun Body Refinement" technique to the critical point corresponding to his own soul power level of 84 after this period of training.

At this point, unless he can continue to improve his soul power level, or more precisely, the quality of his soul power, and thus raise the critical point corresponding to his own soul power, the benefits of cultivating "Sun Body Refinement" will be very low, and there is no need to continue cultivating it for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er, who had temporarily withdrawn from cultivation, replied, "I'm still a little short, but I estimate it will be within the next day or two."

Similar to Mu Yang's situation, Shui Bing'er recently had a 100,000-year-old Ice Phoenix Soul Beast sacrifice, followed by a divine trial reward, and then she refined four high-age ice attribute soul bones, which increased her soul power by a total of ten levels. The critical point of "Sun Body Refinement" has been greatly raised, and there is huge room for improvement in her physical qualities.

Even if it's just to gain more soul power after attaching the eighth divinely bestowed soul ring, she still has to improve her physical attributes as much as possible and attach a divinely bestowed soul ring of a higher age.

"That's good."

Mu Yang nodded.

Subsequently, Mu Yang, whose physical abilities could not be improved rapidly in a short period of time, was surrounded by an ice-blue light. The Ice Flame Holy Shadow Martial Soul was attached to him, and he began to condense his third soul ring.

As the Condensing Ring Technique was activated, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) rapidly converged, and following the bright red first and second soul rings, a dim white soul ring condensed around Mu Yang's body.

Soon, the vast amount of spiritual energy gathered condensed into a huge cloud of spiritual energy in mid-air, which quickly sank into the Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul that appeared behind Mu Yang below in a funnel shape.

As a large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed by the Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul, the white soul ring that appeared on Mu Yang's body began to deepen in color rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the soul ring completed its transformation from ten years of white, a hundred years of yellow, a thousand years of purple, to ten thousand years of black.

The changes continued. In less than half an hour, the third soul ring that appeared on Mu Yang's body transformed into a bright red soul ring.

The color changed from black to red, which means that the age of the third soul ring that Mu Yang created on his own has been increased from ten thousand years in black to one hundred thousand years in red.

However, Mu Yang did not stop. Even though he already possessed several soul rings that were over 100,000 years old, 100,000 years was still not Mu Yang's limit, and he was far from reaching it.

Compared to when he advanced with the eighth divinely bestowed soul ring, although he did not obtain a top-grade soul bone again, his soul power level increased by four levels, and he also condensed a second soul core that complemented Yin and Yang. There was a qualitative difference in the quality of his soul power before and after. Through the body tempering technique "Sun Body Refinement", his physical fitness has been greatly improved.

Moreover, the eighth spirit ring bestowed by the gods, which is over 300,000 years old, not only greatly increased his burden in terms of spirit rings, but also greatly improved his physical functions in all aspects.

The third spirit ring that has now spontaneously condensed the Ice Flame Holy Shadow Martial Soul must be at least 300,000 years old, right?

This doesn't mean that Mu Yang's current limit is only 300,000 years; it's definitely more than that. The main point is that he must leave some margin and cannot push his limits.

After all, with the purification and compression of the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, the increase in soul power attached to a self-condensed soul ring is certainly not enough to raise his soul power level from level 84 Soul Douluo to level 90 Quasi-Title Douluo.

If he doesn't leave any room for maneuver and goes straight for the limit, then he won't be able to condense higher-age spirit rings in the future.

Even when his soul power reached the level of a quasi-titled Douluo at level 90, he was still unable to attach the super-high-age divinely bestowed ninth soul ring because his existing soul rings were too burdensome.

Currently, until he breaks through level 90, there are only four ways for him to improve his physical attributes.

One is the Ice Flame Holy Shadow Martial Soul Ring that it condenses on its own, since soul rings can enhance a soul master's physical functions in various aspects.

Secondly, as the soul power level increases, the quality of the soul power naturally improves, which in turn raises the critical point for cultivating "Sun Body Refinement," allowing for a certain degree of rapid improvement in physical attributes.

Thirdly, the Crystal Scale Armor is an external soul bone. The age of the external soul bone can increase with the level of the soul master. The Crystal Scale Armor can improve Mu Yang's physical attributes like the soul bones of the torso and limbs. After the age increases, the effect of improving physical attributes will naturally become greater.

The last one is to complete the torso soul bone that he currently lacks.

However, the drop rate of torso soul bones is relatively low. There are no torso soul bones of decent age in the academy. In addition, he had already set his sights on torso soul bones. Therefore, before advancing to the ninth ring titled Douluo, he only had the first three ways to improve his physical attributes, and the improvement from these three ways was relatively limited.

With limited room for improvement in physical fitness, Mu Yang naturally dared not attempt any extreme maneuvers, lest he sabotage himself.

Another hour passed, and after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, the golden patterns attached to the third soul ring that had appeared on Mu Yang's body had reached three.

Each golden pattern on a 100,000-year soul ring represents 100,000 years; three golden patterns represent at least 300,000 years.

"That's about enough, we can't add any more."

Feeling his own physical condition, Mu Yang thought to himself.

At this moment, Mu Yang realized that he didn't have much room left in terms of his ability to withstand spirit rings, estimating that he had less than 100,000 to 200,000 years of reserves.

However, after Iceflame Saint Shadow condenses his third soul ring, which is 300,000 years old, his physical attributes will also be greatly improved, and his tolerance will increase significantly from the previous 100,000 to 200,000 years.

If nothing unexpected happens, and he manages to condense a fourth spirit ring that will last for 300,000 years, his tolerance level will likely be no lower than it is now.

With this nested-doll-like method of condensing soul rings, he only needs to condense two, or at most three, soul rings to raise his soul power level to 90, reaching the standard for advancing to a nine-ring titled Douluo.

At that time, he will still have at least five spirit ring slots left. As long as the age of these five spirit rings is not low, once all the spirit rings are completed, his spirit power level will go from level 90 Quasi-Title Douluo directly to level 99 peak, which will be absolutely no problem.

Since the age of the newly formed Soul Ring no longer increases, Mu Yang focused his mind and began to inscribe secret techniques into the not-yet-fully-formed Soul Ring, transforming it into a Soul Ring Skill.

Before long, the secret technique was completed, and the self-condensing soul ring was successfully formed.

The next step is to refine the energy contained in the soul ring, just like when you hunt soul beasts to add soul rings and advance your own.

In an instant, as the soul ring energy was refined, the soul power emanating from Mu Yang's body began to steadily increase. (End of this chapter)
