Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 95: Young friend, do you also know about immortal herbs?

Zhong Li said without changing his expression, which left Paimon, who was standing to the side, somewhat bewildered.

She glanced at Zhongli subconsciously, thinking to herself: As expected of the old man who is over six thousand years old, his ability to lie through his teeth is truly amazing.

Most importantly, he can lie without blushing or skipping a beat!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. They never expected that Zhong Li would actually possess a true martial soul!

According to Zhong Li, and based on the "original spirit" they had seen before, the difference was enormous!

Everyone looked at Zhong Li with some surprise, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

How could he possibly be a true martial soul?

Based on Zhong Li's introduction and their understanding of "original spirit", it is absolutely impossible for Zhong Li to be an original spirit.

"I know you are all quite confused, and perhaps my answer can clear up your doubts."

"In Chi Yu's case, it is a case of a mutated original spirit. Her self and spirit fused together, which made her who she is."

"I fall into the same category."

Paimon was speechless. Fortunately, she had met the cunning Zhongli, who was capable of holding a funeral for her.

After hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully. According to Zhongli's explanation, it seemed to make sense!

After saying this, Zhong Li instantly activated his "Martial Soul," and a pair of amber dragon horns grew from his forehead. His "Soul Rings" also appeared quickly.

An immense pressure permeated the entire arena.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—nine spirit rings in total—are equally awe-inspiring.

A red spirit ring, a legendary 100,000-year spirit ring!

"I was lucky enough to break the secret of the human body, allowing my original martial soul to awaken a second time, which is why I am who I am today."

"Unfortunately, I don't have a master..."

Everyone looked at Zhongli's spirit rings, seemingly understanding something, yet also seemingly not quite.

Feeling dazed and confused.

With such a soul ring configuration, Zhongli is already considered "legendary," yet he's still sighing!

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

Wait, this guy also has a martial spirit!

Everyone glanced at Paimon beside Zhongli and thought to themselves.

According to Zhong Li, the stronger a Soul Master's physique, the more energy they can withstand, and the more powerful the Soul Rings they can absorb.

Doesn't that mean he could easily add nine spirit rings over 50,000 years old to his second spirit?

"Hiss~"

Everyone gasped. They knew that having twin martial souls wasn't scary at all; on the contrary, it was a curse—a curse that would cause one to explode and die!

What's terrifying is that even after absorbing nine 50,000-year spirit rings with its second spirit, it still hasn't exploded and died!

Having twin martial souls is just a talent, a talent that allows people to pursue their dreams. At the same time, it can also be considered a curse, since no one should have added nine 50,000-year-level soul rings to their second martial soul.

Zhong Li did not retract his martial soul, but continued, "As I said before, a soul master's acquisition of a soul ring is determined by their physical strength."

"Whether it's a beast spirit or a weapon spirit, it's ultimately just a spirit, and it's difficult to break through the body's limits to absorb spirit rings beyond one's level."

"But the original martial soul is different; it is itself a martial soul!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and they suddenly realized!

They understood!

"Your Majesty, do you mean that because the Martial Soul is the body, Soul Masters with a Martial Soul in their own body have a natural advantage in absorbing Soul Rings?"

The body is the martial soul. Compared with normal beast soul masters and weapon soul masters, the body strength is stronger and can accommodate and absorb more soul power!

If that's the case, the original spirit might become the most powerful spirit!

Even if your martial soul is weaker than others, your spirit rings can make up for that difference!

"Exactly."

Zhong Li nodded; that was exactly what he meant. And indeed, this was one of the advantages of the original martial soul—though it was only one aspect.

"That martial spirit's second awakening..."

"If Heaven closes a door for the original spirit, it will naturally open a window for it."

"When the body becomes strong and the soul power reaches a certain level, the original martial soul may awaken a second time."

"After completing the second awakening of the martial soul, the original martial soul will undergo earth-shattering changes, especially in terms of combat power."

"As for the specific figures, I'm sorry I cannot disclose them."

Upon hearing this, the crowd showed no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, they readily agreed, considering it a closely guarded secret.

"Chi Yu is able to absorb spirit rings beyond her level because she herself is a mutated original spirit."

"At the same time, I obtained a magical herb called Narcissus Jade Bone in my early years..."

As Zhongli finished speaking, Paimon's eye twitched.

In the early years?

Those "daffodils" clearly belonged to Dugu Bo's medicine garden!

Upon hearing this, Tang San subconsciously said, "Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones?"

"Your Majesty, are you sure it's Narcissus Jade Bone?"

Tang San's tone was somewhat excited, and his voice trembled slightly.

The legendary herb!

Wait, something's not right!

Could this guy have given the immortal herb to Chi Yu?

It seems like that's really possible!

Otherwise, how could she have become a Soul King level expert in such a short time!

The immortal herb, the legendary immortal herb!

Zhong Li asked with some "surprise," "Young friend Tang San, do you also know about immortal herbs?"

"You should know that it was because of a magical herb that I was able to complete my second awakening and achieve what I have today."

"One more than that. I see that Chi Yu's situation is similar to mine; she's young and hasn't obtained a soul ring yet..."

Tang San gave a wry smile. He knew far more than just about immortal herbs!

Who would have thought that there really were legendary immortal herbs on the Douluo Continent!

"Your Majesty, the God of War, I do know a little about the immortal herb. I am truly convinced of the achievements Miss Xiaofei has made after consuming it!"

"Only a magical herb can accomplish such a thing."

Tang San said somewhat dejectedly.

There is a magical herb, but it's not his!

Chi Yu blinked and looked at Zhong Li with some confusion. Didn't she eat two plants back then?

Fortunately, she wasn't stupid; she remained silent while Zhongli spoke.

Tang San had never consumed the immortal herb; he only knew that it was extremely powerful. As for just how powerful it was, he would only know the specific results after consuming it.

With the "immortal herb" buff, Tang San finally believed Zhong Li's words.

With Tang San's cooperation, although the others did not understand what the Immortal Herb was, they knew that it was a very special existence that allowed people to absorb soul rings beyond their level.

"Your Majesty, God of War, I have one more question!"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Even if the original spirit and that so-called immortal herb allow a spirit master to absorb spirit rings beyond their level, how can a quasi-Soul Venerable's soul strength withstand the soul impact of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast!"

"hiss……"

Everyone's expression changed when they saw Yu Xiaogang's question. He really dared to ask such a question!

They've already explained the secret of Soul Masters absorbing Soul Rings, and you're still asking this kind of question!

Of course, they also wanted to know, but they weren't as "fierce" as Yu Xiaogang.

"Do you see that mountain over there?"
