Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 74 The Essence of Heaven and Earth, Topaz!

The next moment, a golden light flashed in Mu Yang's eyes, and an invisible and intangible spiritual power surged out, instantly descending into the consciousness sea of ​​the ten-thousand-year-old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo.

In a mere instant of mental clash, the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo was no match for Mu Yang on a mental level, and its consciousness was pulled into a vast, unknown white space.

Immediately afterwards, several golden chains pierced through the air, locking it in an "I" shape in mid-air amidst the white expanse.

Then, a flash of dazzling golden light appeared, and a majestic figure surrounded by purple lightning, holding a small purple triangular flag, materialized from the sky.

"If you do not bow before me, your true destiny has been lost. I hereby declare you guilty and shall be punished with the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"

With a flick of his triangular purple flag, and as Mu Yang, now transformed into the God of Thunder, finished speaking, a storm arose in the real illusion, with tribulation clouds gathering and lightning flashing.

Bamboo for warding off evil spirits: !!!

In other words, the warding-off evil bamboo that is just over 10,000 years old cannot speak human language, otherwise, it would definitely be echoing with highly sexualized words in this real illusion.

"boom--"

A deafening roar erupted as a bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, crashed down with overwhelming divine power.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The moment the tribulation lightning struck, the area where the Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo was located instantly transformed into a small sea of ​​lightning. The lightning was rampant, and the Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo trembled all over. Its tall body, which was purplish-gold in color, immediately became more illusory and transparent.

In the real illusion, neither Mu Yang nor Bixie Jinzhu are soul consciousnesses, nor are they real bodies.

Moreover, even if there is a real attack in the real illusion, it is a mental attack, which is very different from physical and energy attacks in reality. As long as it is not an instant kill, there will be no physical damage.

However, after being subjected to a real attack, the soul consciousness will become illusory. Once it suffers too many attacks, when the soul consciousness completely turns into an illusion and disappears, it is equivalent to the soul being completely annihilated.

Of course, transforming into the God of Thunder and unleashing the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation were just special effects created by Mu Yang for his entrance. Despite the grand spectacle, the attack intensity was not that high. In essence, it was merely a superficial manifestation of the mental impact of the tribulation lightning.

"Boom—" "Boom—" "Boom—"

Thunder rumbled and deafening roars echoed continuously.

Unable to withstand the eighty-one tribulations of lightning, having only withstood ten, the soul and consciousness of the Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo became extremely illusory. With the eleventh tribulation lightning strike, it completely dissipated into the real illusion.

At the same time, as the soul consciousness of the Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo completely disappeared in the real illusion, outside, the soul of the ten-thousand-year-old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo was annihilated and died, and dense golden light spots began to emanate from its huge body.

As countless golden specks of light danced in the air, a black ten-thousand-year soul ring gradually materialized.

"hiss--"

Upon seeing this, Shui Yanyu, who was standing next to Mu Yang, couldn't help but gasp, looking at Mu Yang with shock on her face.

Although the ten-thousand-year-old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo was basically powerless under her soul power pressure, Mu Yang killed it through mental means, and the soul power pressure she released could not help Mu Yang on a mental level.

In other words, even if she wasn't present at the moment, Mu Yang could still kill this ten-thousand-year-old evil-repelling golden bamboo.

If someone told her that a level 30 Quasi-Soul Master could hunt down a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast on his own, Shui Yanyu would definitely not believe it, after all, the difference in strength between the two was too great.

Although a soul beast that has reached ten thousand years of age is comparable to a Soul King whose soul power has just entered the fifth ring, excluding a few soul beasts that have no combat ability, an ordinary fifth-ring Soul King cannot defeat a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, let alone a level 30 Quasi-Soul Venerable.

But the facts she witnessed firsthand left her no choice but to believe them.

Since even the spirit ring has been revealed, this ten-thousand-year-old warding-off evil bamboo is naturally dead.

No wonder Mu Yang was confident that he could attach a third soul ring that would last for ten thousand years. Just by doing this, it's clear that his mental strength is extraordinary.

Looking at the soul ring that the Ten Thousand Year Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo had produced, Mu Yang nodded in satisfaction. With a flash of soul power in his hand, he released the Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul.

Subsequently, guided by the martial spirit, the ten-thousand-year-old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo Soul Ring slowly floated towards Mu Yang.

Soon, the Ten-Thousand-Year Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo Soul Ring arrived above Mu Yang's head, then quickly contracted, transforming into a black halo the size of a bowl, which landed on the Ice-Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul that appeared in his right palm.

In an instant, Mu Yang felt a surge of powerful soul ring energy rushing into his body through the Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul.

Without daring to delay, Mu Yang immediately activated the "Ice Flame Meditation Technique," transforming the soul ring energy surging into his body into ice flame soul power with the fusion of ice and fire attributes.

At this moment, Shui Yanyu glanced at the body left behind by the ten-thousand-year-old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo. After discovering that no soul bone had been extracted, she picked up Mu Yang, who was refining the soul ring energy. With a flap of her wings, the Ice Sparrow behind her carried Mu Yang away from the bamboo forest and back to the cliff above.

The other Golden Bamboos in the bamboo forest did not react violently after the 'Bamboo King' was killed. This was not because they were indifferent, but because they were unable to move at all under the pressure of her soul power. Mu Yang could not complete his advancement for a while, so it was not suitable for him to stay in the bamboo forest to refine his soul ring.

Time passed slowly, the sun set and the moon rose, and in the blink of an eye, the moon was high in the sky.

On the cliff, Mu Yang, who had refined the ten-thousand-year-old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo Soul Ring and officially advanced to the Three-Ring Soul Venerable, and whose body had grown considerably, opened his eyes.

"Class of '33?"

Feeling the qualitative change in his soul power compared to before, Mu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Somewhat unexpected, yet reasonable, a third soul ring aged just over ten thousand years brought him a full level 3 of soul power.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that when Mu Yang was refining the ten-thousand-year-old Evil-Repelling Golden Bamboo Soul Ring, he did not encounter the lingering souls of soul beasts that are usually present in soul rings of ten thousand years or more.

That's right. This ancient golden bamboo, which is said to ward off evil spirits, was completely annihilated by his mental attack. If even its soul was annihilated, how could it have any lingering resentment?

Of course, even if there are still remnants of the soul in the soul ring, Mu Yang is not afraid at all. He can even annihilate the soul of the opponent when it is intact, so why should he be afraid of a mere remnant soul?

After glancing at the ten-thousand-year third soul ring radiating around him, Mu Yang's gaze fell upon the Ice-Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul that appeared in front of him.

After the third soul ring was added, the Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul underwent some changes again.

The ginseng leaves are still red and blue, and the ginseng body still looks like jade, but below the red and orange rings on the ginseng body, there is another ring of yellow lines.

"So it really is arranged according to the seven colors of the rainbow?"

Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

I wonder what color will come after red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple?

"Muyang, stand up and take a look."

At this moment, seeing that Mu Yang had already refined the soul ring and completed the advancement, Shui Bing'er stepped forward and said.

"What's wrong?"

Putting away his martial spirit and spirit rings, Mu Yang stood up and asked.

Shui Bing'er didn't say anything, but simply pulled Mu Yang aside to compare their heights.

Shui Bing'er moved her palm from the top of Mu Yang's head towards herself, finding it had reached the space between her eyebrows. She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. Mu Yang, you're almost 1.65 meters tall now. By next year, we should be the same height."

Yes, she's wearing high heels.

In the original novel, Shui Bing'er was only 1.65 meters tall, and given her age at the time, she didn't have much room to grow taller.

To be honest, a height of 1.65 meters is rather short for a fourth-ring Soul Master, even for a girl.

For example, a rabbit that has undergone human transformation was already 1.7 meters tall when it was twelve years old.

But that's just the original story; Shui Bing'er isn't short these days.

With the comprehensive transformation of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, and with Mu Yang constantly monitoring her diet, there is absolutely no chance of malnutrition. Now, Shui Bing'er, who is almost fourteen years old, has already reached a height of 1.65 meters.

Of course, since girls develop earlier, and the four spirit rings that have already been added have also played a significant role in promoting development, it can be considered as drawing up some potential in advance. Therefore, Shui Bing'er's future height limit will not be too amazing, but her net height will definitely exceed 1.7 meters in the future.

A height of 1.7 meters or more, combined with shoes, is definitely enough.

"It's good that I've grown taller. It means that we're getting closer to the time when we'll actually be together."

Reaching out, he wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, pulled her into his embrace, and whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er blushed and lowered her head.

"Hey~, you two, that's enough! Can't you consider how I feel?"

Seeing the two of them shamelessly flaunting their affection, Shui Yanyu, who had just been fed a mouthful of their lovey-dovey stuff, couldn't help but complain.

Yes, Shui Yanyu, the dean of Tianshui Academy, is a single, unmarried old maid.

It has to be said that, compared to female students graduating from other advanced soul master academies, female students graduating from Tianshui Academy have a much higher probability of being single in the future.

The most important factor contributing to this phenomenon is that Tianshui College only admits female students.

Being able to enter Tianshui Academy means that one's cultivation talent is at least not too bad, and after graduating from Tianshui Academy, one is usually not too young, at least twenty years old or older.

Boys around their age who are talented have no shortage of girlfriends, while those who are not talented are mostly unattractive to them. After being picky, they often end up single.

"Then Auntie, you could find us an uncle too."

Shui Bing'er looked up and said seriously.

Shui Yanyu: "."

It's heartbreaking! My niece has become so unlovable!

"Ahem~, Xiao Yang, let me see your third soul skill."

To ease the awkwardness, Shui Yanyu cleared her throat and changed the subject.

Nodding slightly, Mu Yang released the Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul once again.

"Topaz, the essence of all things in heaven and earth!"

As he chanted the Soul Incantation, Mu Yang's third Soul Ring, which had been around for ten thousand years, shone brightly. As his Soul Power surged, a three-inch-long Soul Power Ginseng, resembling a piece of topaz, materialized.

The third soul skill, Yellow Jade Detoxifying Ginseng, can remove abnormal states, including poisoning, after consumption. It is effective if consumed within ten days of its manufacture.

It must be said that the ten-day shelf life of the Yellow Jade Detoxifying Ginseng alone is enough to prove that a ten-thousand-year soul skill is not comparable to a hundred-year or thousand-year soul skill.

After all, the hundred-year-old Crimson Jade Rejuvenating Ginseng only has a shelf life of three days, while the thousand-year-old Orange Jade Blood-Nourishing Ginseng only has a shelf life of five days.
