Douluo Continent: The True Self of Martial Soul, Infinite Awakening

Two bright yellow spirit rings slowly rose from above the broken tortoise shell, pulsating continuously in the forest.

Jiang Nannan and Vina did not hesitate at all.

They were well aware of the dangers of the Starry Sky Forest; the longer the smell of blood lingered, the more unknown dangers it would attract.

The two quickly stepped forward and sat cross-legged in front of the corpses of the Rock-armored Turtle and the Ice Crystal Turtle, respectively.

Guided by their soul power, the two yellow century-old soul rings transformed into two streams of light, landing directly on them.

Close your eyes and concentrate.

The two officially began absorbing spirit rings.

Fine beads of sweat began to seep from their bodies as the energy of their seven-hundred-year-old soul rings surged through their meridians.

However, a full month of body tempering on the Sky-Touching Stone had already honed their physical bodies to be incredibly resilient.

This level of energy impact cannot shake their already solid foundation.

The task of protecting the outer perimeter naturally fell to Ye Yuan and Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's eyes gleamed with pure golden light, and his mental detection remained within a radius of fifty meters.

Every falling leaf and every crawling burrowing spider around him was transformed into a precise dynamic model in his mind.

Ye Yuan stood quietly in front of the two women.

At the fingertips, tiny golden-white flames danced.

Even the slightest glimmer of ultimate light that leaked out was enough to deter countless soul beasts that tried to approach.

Huo Yuhao could clearly see through his mental detection that several hundred-year-old scaled beasts with keen sense of smell had already approached the surroundings, but after coming into contact with the domineering aura of light in the air, these ferocious predators stopped in their tracks, then tucked their tails between their legs and fled out of the detection range without looking back.

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, no soul beast dared to touch the terrifying flames that could burn even soul power to ashes.

Time passed slowly, and an hour later...

Jiang Nannan suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her originally light almond-shaped eyes.

The pink, soft-boned rabbit phantom behind her was more than twice as solid as before.

Two yellow, century-old soul rings rose from beneath her feet, pulsating up and down.

At almost the same time, Vina also finished absorbing the spirit ring.

On the princess's brow, an ice-blue snow lotus mark fully bloomed, and the surrounding air instantly lowered.

Two yellow spirit rings were also encircling the outside of her pale yellow dress.

Both of them successfully absorbed their second spirit rings.

Jiang Nannan stood up, glanced down at her hands, and then suddenly exerted force with her legs.

He leaped up from the ground and onto the branch of an ancient tree five meters high, his movements much lighter than before.

"My second soul skill."

Jiang Nannan jumped down from the tree branch and landed steadily.

The second yellow spirit ring beneath her feet shone brightly.

hum-

The gravity within a five-meter radius centered on Jiang Nannan suddenly changed.

The withered branches and fallen leaves on the ground were instantly pressed into the soil, and even the heavy carcass of the rock tortoise next to it made a sound of bones cracking under the weight.

"Gravity control." Jiang Nannan looked at Ye Yuan, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I can manipulate the gravity within this five-meter radius. Increasing gravity can forcibly suppress an opponent's speed; or..."

Before she finished speaking, the gravity field around her flipped.

Jiang Nannan's figure became as light as a feather. With just a light touch of her toes, she glided forward more than ten meters like an arrow, almost twice as fast as before.

"Reduce gravity to make me more maneuverable."

Ye Yuan nodded slightly after hearing about the effects of the soul skill. This soul skill was a perfect match for the Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul.

In close combat, once the enemy steps into this five-meter range, their speed decreases drastically, while Jiang Nannan can unleash a thunderous burst of damage in a weightless state.

The difference between increasing and decreasing is enough to tear apart the opponent's defense in an instant.

Vina stood to the side, raising her right hand with her palm facing up.

The snow lotus mark between his brows shone brightly, and the second century-old soul ring shone accordingly.

A giant, crystal-clear snow lotus, formed entirely from pure ice energy, slowly rotated above her palm.

As the snow lotus rotated, a cool, refreshing aura, carrying a faint, exotic fragrance, spread outwards.

The moment Ye Yuan and Huo Yuhao came into contact with this chilling aura, the last bit of soul power that had been depleted in their meridians due to the warning stopped flowing out.

Moreover, a gentle energy was seeping into the body through the pores, slowly but steadily replenishing the soul power.

"Ice Lotus Renews the Soul." Vina held a snow lotus in her hand, her originally beautiful face appearing even more noble under the reflection of the ice light.

"As long as it's within the area covered by this ice lotus, it can forcibly lock down the loss of soul power from friendly targets and provide a continuous replenishment of soul power." Vina retracted her martial soul, and the surrounding temperature warmed up again.

"Although the replenishment speed is not fast, in a protracted war of attrition, it can ensure that we always have one more breath than the enemy."

Ultimate mana lock, long-lasting battery life.

This kind of support skill that enhances the team's stamina is also quite good.

The mission of the four-person team has now come to a successful conclusion.

From entering the Star Dou Great Forest, to encountering the pack of wind wolves, to accurately locating and killing two seven-hundred-year-old turtle-type soul beasts.

The whole process was smooth and without any danger.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's mental detection, which was like a cheat code to the entire map, and Ye Yuan's ultimate light that could ignore defenses, they turned this outer forest into their own backyard.

"Objective accomplished." Vina smoothed the dust off her skirt and looked at Ye Yuan. "Shall we go back now?"

Jiang Nannan and Huo Yuhao also turned their gazes to Ye Yuan, waiting for his decision.

Ye Yuan did not answer immediately.

He looked up at the dense canopy of trees overhead.

"Sect Master, have you seen enough?"

The voice just fell.

"Bang!"

The massive body of the Poison Immortal, carrying a stream of air, crashed heavily in front of the four like a green meteorite.

The powerful shockwave tore apart the surrounding poisonous miasma.

The level 98 Super Douluo stood up and brushed the wood chips off his body.

His old face, which should have been gratified that his disciple had successfully obtained a spirit ring, was now filled with frustration and resentment.

"Go back? Go back my ass!"

Without any hesitation, Poison Undying kicked the corpse of the Ice Crystal Turtle next to him.

This hard tortoise shell was like a crispy walnut under the feet of Super Douluo, instantly shattering into ice shards.

"I've followed you all this way to this wretched forest, what else could I be after besides getting a soul ring?" Poisonous Immortal stood with his hands on his hips, his eerie green eyes wide open, spittle flying everywhere.

"It's to see how you get cornered by soul beasts! It's to see how you cooperate in life-or-death situations! It's to give you a challenge!"

Poison Undying pointed at Huo Yuhao, his fingers trembling.

"With your mental detection activated, you could count the legs of a fly flying by within a hundred meters. You avoided all those ambushes hidden in the mud and treetops!"

Then, Du Bu Si suddenly turned to Ye Yuan, his annoyance turning into a toothache-like twitch.

"Just now, I spotted a thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with ferocious bloodlines dozens of miles away. I was thinking of capturing it and throwing it in front of you to put some pressure on you and let you taste what it means to fight to the death."

Poison cannot kill. At this point, he laughed in exasperation.

"So you've already absorbed all your spirit rings!"

Poison Undying sighed heavily and scratched his scalp in frustration.

This so-called experience turned out to be a complete joke.

Ye Yuan's strength is far beyond what's expected.

That ten-thousand-year-old number one soul skill, "Divine Blaze," combined with the unreasonable armor-piercing and burning properties of Ultimate Light, directly reduced the danger level of the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest to the lowest level.

Du Busi quickly calculated in his mind.

With Ye Yuan's current terrifying combat power, coupled with Huo Yuhao's vision support, and the powerful control and sustain that Jiang Nannan and Vina have just acquired.

These four little devils, when they get together, are practically untouchable in this area.

"Unless we encounter a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, or a domineering beast with top-tier bloodlines and cultivation levels of six or seven thousand years or more," Du Busi muttered under his breath.

"Otherwise, ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts would be nothing more than easy prey for you."

Vina and Jiang Nannan looked at each other in bewilderment.

This was the first time they had seen the legendary, fierce sect leader of the Body Sect display such a frustrated expression, as if his "toy had been confiscated."

Huo Yuhao blinked innocently.

He was just doing his job by activating his soul skill, so you can't blame him, right?

Looking at the four unique and well-established little monsters in front of him, Du Busi's frustration was eventually replaced by joy.

The failure of adversity training was due to objective conditions not allowing it to be implemented.

But the performance of these four people was indeed impeccable.

In particular, Ye Yuan's decisive and ruthless combat skills, as well as his precise control over the situation, made Du Busi seem to see the future of the Body Sect dominating the entire continent for the next hundred years.

"Oh well! It wasn't a complete waste of time; at least the soul skills I got were pretty good!"

Poison Undying waved his hand, his rugged face finally breaking into a wide grin and bursting into laughter.

"Now that you've obtained the spirit rings, let's return to the sect. We'll come back for further training once you've grown a bit more."

Then, Poison Undying suddenly swung his wide sleeves.

A rich, dark green soul power surged forth, instantly enveloping Ye Yuan, Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan, and Vina.

"Let's go! Back to the sect!"

A sudden gust of wind arose.

A streak of dark green light shot up from the ground, transforming into a long rainbow that sped toward the Heavenly Soul Empire's Body Sect.

In the dim forest below, only a few mangled soul beast corpses remained, along with the terrifying lingering warmth of the ultimate light still present in the swamp!
