Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

The cold air, carrying moisture from high above, patted Xiao Xiao's cheeks.

Xiao Xiao's eyelashes trembled, her consciousness like an anchor sinking into the deep sea, being slowly pulled back to the surface by an invisible force.

Her senses extended from the clear soul power and throbbing meridians within her body to the strong yet somewhat weak physical body around her, finally touching the moist air in her nostrils, the whistling wind in her ears, and the soft, resilient touch beneath her, imbued with a strange temperature and the rhythm of life.

Xiao Xiao finally regained full sensation in her body.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and found herself sitting cross-legged on the true form of Song Yunzhi's Azure Shadow Divine Eagle's martial spirit.

"Xiao Xiao!"

"You're awake?! How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

"Don't worry, your Grandma Song's speed is unparalleled on the continent. We'll be back at the academy in an hour. With Lao Zhuang's help, you'll be fine."

Although she sensed that Xiao Xiao had successfully absorbed the 100,000-year soul ring, Song Yunzhi couldn't help but anxiously ask questions when she saw Xiao Xiao covered in blood, looking like a blood-soaked figure.

This situation also occurred within the college a few years ago.

However, that time it was Zhang Lexuan, the current senior sister of the inner court, who absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring as her eighth soul ring.

Even Zhang Lexuan took almost a month to recover afterward.

Not to mention that Xiao Xiao is currently absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring on her third attempt, aided by her battle armor.

"It's alright, Grandma Song."

Xiao Xiao spoke with difficulty.

A wave of weakness washed over me, leaving my limbs feeling completely drained, making even lifting a finger incredibly difficult.

However, beneath this extreme weakness, a completely different and indescribable surging power emanated from all parts of the body.

This feeling of extreme contradiction is truly tormenting.

"The battle armor not only elevated my physical abilities to a level almost identical to that of a Soul Douluo, but it even elevated my mental abilities to the level of a Soul Douluo."

"Furthermore, the battle armor itself can also alleviate the pressure on my spirit ring's spirit power, so I'm actually not in much of a... predicament..."

At this moment, Xiao Xiao was just like a patient under general anesthesia in the hospital, who was still stubbornly insisting that she was fine and could handle it.

The next second, he completely lost consciousness and probably didn't even know what he said.

Xiao Xiao's body went limp and she collapsed onto Song Yunzhi's back.

The already fragile battle armor shattered into pieces, revealing a body dressed in tight-fitting clothes completely soaked in blood.

This startled Song Yunzhi, who quickly landed on the ground to check on Xiao Xiao's condition.

After a while.

Song Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation was pretty much as Xiao Xiao had described; there were only some internal injuries, and nothing had been damaged in the meridians or anything like that.

In this situation, you should ask Zhuang Yusen to use his ninth soul skill, and then rest and recuperate on Seagod Island for two weeks.

Xiao Xiao's current coma is most likely due to her mental exhaustion from fighting off the impact of the 100,000-year-old soul beast.

After confirming Xiao Xiao's situation, Song Yunzhi waited for Gong Changlong for about half an hour.

When Gong Changlong arrived anxiously, they flew together towards Shrek Academy.

reality.

Xu Shu laughed after watching this cutscene.

"That little guy has quite a stubborn personality."

While the screen was black during the loading animation, Xu Shu opened Xiao Xiao's character panel.

.

Xiao Xiao

Age: 9.6

Spirit: 2000 (Spirit Sea Realm)

Physical condition: 14.2W

Soul Power: Level 32

Soul Rings:

Martial Soul 1: Purple; Black; Red

Martial Soul II (Hidden)

Soul Bones: Dark Gold Terror Claw Same Source Left and Right External Soul Bones; Ten Thousand Year Crimson Dragon Left Arm Bone (I won't mention the trashy right arm bone and left leg bone, since they'll be replaced sooner or later anyway, they're just used to increase physical attributes)

Soul Power Compression: 3.6

Exercise: Five Elements Returning to the Origin Record 2.0

Cultivation speed: 5 levels/year (Cauldron) - 8 levels/year (Cave Heaven)

Absorbable Soul Ring Level: 10 Years (Red)

.

Physical constitution, mental state, soul power, and soul power compression are all comprehensively improved.

Based on this data, Xu Shu estimated that after Xiao Xiao went back and absorbed the 100,000-year-old golden tortoise shell bone, she should be able to try spirit forging.

It just so happens that Xiao Xiao's one-word battle armor is also broken, so it will be convenient to melt it down and forge it into a two-word battle armor.

After reviewing Xiao Xiao's data, Xu Shu opened Xiao Xiao's soul skill panel.

"Third Soul Skill of 100,000 Years - Forbidden Domain of Living Beings: Domain-type Soul Skill. The weight and power of the cauldron are increased by 200%, releasing a domain with a radius of 25 meters centered on the cauldron. Enemies within the domain will have 50% of their physical attributes sealed and their soul power flow speed reduced by 50%."

"Third Soul Skill of Ten Thousand Years - Eternal Profound Restriction: A powerful single-target sealing soul skill. The size of the cauldron increases dramatically, and its weight and power increase by 200%. Enemies who cannot withstand the cauldron's suppression will be trapped inside, and their soul power and life force will be continuously absorbed to maintain and strengthen the cauldron's seal. Once an enemy is trapped inside the cauldron, they will never be able to break free unless external assistance is provided or Xiao Xiao actively releases it."

After reviewing the data in detail, Xu Shu nodded in satisfaction.

The effect is powerful, the data is top-notch, it's good.

According to the official data.

Amplification-type soul skills typically provide 100% enhancement with top-tier millennium soul rings, 150% with ten-thousand-year soul rings, and 200% with one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

Weakening Soul Skills: Top-tier 100-year Soul Rings reduce damage by 20%, 1000-year by 25%, 10,000-year by 30%, and 100,000-year by 50%.

Among them, spirit rings with an age of less than 100,000 years have their enhancement/reduction effects weakened to varying degrees when used by Douluo-level powerhouses.

An excessive amount of soul power is required to maintain the effect of the soul skill.

The soul skills of a 100,000-year soul ring are only weakened when facing a god.

It can be said that every soul ring and soul skill Xiao Xiao will use in the future will be a 100,000-year soul ring skill with no reduction in effect.

Once you enter the main arena, you'll undoubtedly have a significant advantage over a large number of people for a long time.

Xu Shu didn't even care about Xiao Xiao's loss of being unable to enter the Grand Arena due to her lack of soul power over the past two months.

After all, you can only draw three prizes a day if you win in the Grand Arena.

In two months, there are only 180 draws, and players on average get 6-10 draws of Fairy Spirit Energy.

At most, it can only increase the age limit of the Soul Ring by 1000 years, which can only allow a small number of players to reach the age limit of 10,000 years for the third Soul Ring.

I don't like it.

I really don't like it.

Furthermore, in the permanent pool that transitioned to the newbie pool after its conclusion, the developers very cunningly reduced the number of red items. (Xu Shu reasonably suspects that items like legendary artifacts will be moved to later, more expensive gacha pools after the game's launch.)

The remaining items are only some level 9-10 soul tools (such as super-large storage soul tools, level 9 fixed-position soul tool mini nuclear bombs), ancient herbs, ultra-rare metals, and so on.

These items are mostly disposable.

Even if he encounters an opponent using a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon in the Grand Arena, it will only result in his defeat.

There's absolutely no need to worry.

It can be said that Xu Shu did not speed up Xiao Xiao's development, but instead let her try to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring. The benefits of this far exceeded the benefits of fast-forwarding through life to fight in the Great Arena.

Close the character panel.

While the interface was loading, Xiao Xiao was already lying in a room inside the Sea God Pavilion.

The shattered pieces of her battle armor were piled up in the corner of the room, and she had changed into a set of her usual turquoise outfit.

Observe Xiao Xiao's fair, smooth, and flawless skin from different angles, and repeatedly open the panel to view Xiao Xiao's meridian diagram.

Xu Shu finally confirmed that Zhuang Yusen must have already been there, and Xiao Xiao was now completely unharmed.
