Douluo Dragon King: Light and Darkness, Starting with the Punishment of Light

The moment the human-faced spider vanished, countless purple lights swirled like a river of stars.

It transformed into a pure torrent of energy, flowing into the cucumber-shaped soul ring beneath Zhou Wei's feet.

The soul ring of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

The eight-hundred-year-old yellow spirit ring trembled violently, and its color began to change.

The yellow deepened, turning into purple, enveloping Zhou Wei entirely!

Eight hundred...nine hundred...one thousand!

The purple light shone brightly, illuminating almost the entire open space!

Ascend to the Spirit!

A thousand-year-old soul ring.

It became.

Zhou Wei looked down at the slowly rotating purple soul ring at his feet and let out a long breath.

A thousand-year soul ring, two rings for a thousand years.

The primary task at this Ascension Platform has been completed.

Today's battle is not just about farming soul rings.

More importantly, it allowed Leng Yaozhu to see her own potential.

Given that woman's personality, her background is clean, and she's a promising talent nurtured by the Leng family since childhood, she'll only have more opportunities like this in the future.

Zhou Wei stretched his shoulders and looked at Dahl and Sarod: "Let's go, let's get out of here first."

The two little guys jumped onto Zhou Wei, one on each side.

Zhou Wei pressed the button in his hand, and a beam of light enveloped him before he disappeared into the light of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Buzz!!!"

The metal hull emitted a slight hum as the hatch slowly opened.

Zhou Wei opened his eyes, sat up, and immediately saw Leng Yaozhu standing beside him waiting.

The expression on that stunningly beautiful face was somewhat complicated.

Relief, surprise, and a hint of delight?

Zhou Wei grinned: "Sister, I haven't let you down."

Leng Yaozhu stared at him for a few seconds, then reached out and pinched his face.

"If you deliberately create an opening again next time, I'll lock you in the Ascension Platform for a month."

"Ouch!" Zhou Wei covered her face, looking aggrieved. "Sister, how did you know?"

"Your dodging movements were clearly calculated in advance," Leng Yaozhu sneered. "The speed at which that demonic spider launched its final counterattack was too fast for a normal person to react to. But you, you dodged with more ease than anyone else."

Zhou Wei chuckled, not daring to reply.

Looking at his grinning face, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his hair.

"You, you should never underestimate any of your opponents!"

"Don't do that again!"

"Alright, go back and get some rest. You did a good job today."

With both of your spirit rings reaching the thousand-year level, you'll be able to dominate your peers.

Zhou Wei jumped out of the cabin, and Dahl on his shoulder gently waved the scythe, as if greeting Leng Yaozhu.

The staff around them all cast admiring glances their way.

A newly awakened one-ring Soul Master gained two thousand-year Soul Rings on his first appearance at the Spirit Ascension Platform and even single-handedly killed a two-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider.

This record is unparalleled in the entire Spirit Pagoda.

Leng Yaozhu turned and walked out, and Zhou Wei quickly followed.

As they walked out of the Ascension Platform area, Leng Yaozhu suddenly said, "Go back and properly digest what you've gained today."

There's no rush in cultivation; let's solidify the foundation first.

Zhou Wei nodded.

Halfway there, Leng Yaozhu suddenly stopped.

"By the way, classes officially start tomorrow."

Zhou Wei was taken aback: "Huh? Who taught me?"

Leng Yaozhu turned her head to the side, a meaningful smile appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Of course it's me, my brother."

The word "little brother" was uttered softly and gently.

But Zhou Wei clearly read a sentence in those ruby-like eyes.

You dare to say "no" and try?

Zhou Wei swallowed hard: "...Alright, then I'll have to trouble you again, sister."

"It's alright." Leng Yaozhu reached out and ruffled his hair, her tone softening. "Go back and rest early. You and those two little Wuhun must have been exhausted at the Spirit Ascension Platform today. I've had someone prepare a sumptuous dinner for you when you get back, so enjoy it."

Zhou Wei felt a warmth in his heart: "Okay."

After saying goodbye to Leng Yaozhu, Zhou Wei took the elevator back to his residence.

The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, an exclusive area for senior management.

The room Leng Yaozhu arranged for him was more spacious than the residences of most of the branch tower masters.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the city lights in the distance are reflected like a galaxy.

Zhou Wei, however, had no interest in appreciating the night view.

After taking a shower, he sat at the dining table, but his mind kept replaying the battle scene in the Spirit Ascension Platform earlier that day.

Decoupled Martial Soul...

It is indeed extremely mysterious.

He raised his hand, a thought forming in his mind.

Dahl leaped off the shoulder, transforming into a streak of emerald-gold light that coalesced in his palm into... a scythe?

No, it's not a sickle.

It is a ball of light, a ball of light so pure and intense that it feels warm and fiery when held in your hand.

Zhou Wei tried waving his hand, and the ball of light moved at his command, drawing an arc in the air.

shared.

It turned out to be the case.

A separated martial soul can share soul skills with a soul master.

He can use the same skills that Dar and Sarod can use.

The power will be reduced depending on the level of soul power, but the principle is the same.

After that...

Countless images flashed through Zhou Wei's mind.

At this stage, Dar's Light Soul Skill and Sarod's Dark Soul Skill.

Double-edged sword light, Phantom Demonic Fang Slash, Sky Spin Slash, Star Shadow Wave...

Even the amazing skills they might learn after they evolve in the future.

Heavenly River Sacred Light Slash.

The world is shattered by slaughter.

Can I use these legendary ultimate skills myself?

Not to mention other divine skills, or whether its unique characteristics can be inherited by oneself.

For example, when Dahl evolves into Light's Punishment - Incaros, it grants an unconditional double damage increase, a damage-based bonus, and a damage increase upon resurrection after death.

Does that mean I'm One-Punch Man too?

Can you withstand this punch from me, a punch brimming with conviction?

There's also the extraordinary soul imprint exclusive to the Holy King Sargeros, from Sarod to the Holy King Sargeros.

Zhou Wei took a deep breath, suppressing the surging excitement in his heart.

These are things we'll have to figure out gradually over time.

But he thought of an even more important problem.

I need to become stronger.

It's not just about relying on the separated martial soul.

If one day, Dahl and Sarod are at the forefront of the battle.

It would be too humiliating for the master to be killed instantly by someone behind him.

It's impossible for the two separated martial souls to go off to fight and then have to take time to run back to protect themselves, right?

A summoner who doesn't want to fight in melee is not a good mage!!

He needs to strengthen his physique first, so as not to hold him back.

Dahl seemed to sense his thoughts and gently touched his fingers with the scythe.

It's as if it's saying: Don't worry, we're all in this together.

Sarod remained silently standing by the window, his dark purple figure blending into the night, only his scarlet eyes occasionally flashing.

Zhou Wei looked at the two figures, one in light and one in darkness, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

Starting tomorrow, I will begin my cultivation journey under Leng Yaozhu's guidance.

First, lay a solid foundation and improve your physical fitness.

Soul skills can be shared, but the body belongs to oneself.

He closed his eyes, and the last image that came to mind was...

Dahl and Sarod charged ahead, while he himself stood behind them, wielding a longsword woven with light and darkness.

Fighting side by side.

Instead of being protected.

This is the path he wants.
