Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 220 I wonder if I can still have children

Moon continued, "So what kind of price is required to create a Saint Mark? Does it also require hunting soul beasts?"

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "There is no need to hunt soul beasts. You only need to extract some special substances from the soul beasts and then mix several materials according to a special method to make a holy mark. Of course, the higher the age of the holy mark, the more precious the materials required and the more difficult it is to make."

Moon raised his head slightly and said, "Would it be convenient for us to conduct an experiment?"

Xu Jiujiu readily agreed, saying, "Of course. Seeing is believing. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you determine its authenticity and truly understand the wonder of the Holy Mark."

Xu Jiujiu pointed to the black holy mark and said, "This is a holy mark that is about 15,000 years old. It comes from a 10,000-year-old Extreme Shadow Leopard. The attached soul ring should also be an Extreme Shadow Leopard soul ring. It is suitable for agility-type soul masters to absorb."

Mu En nodded to Yan Shaozhe, who understood and stood up to leave the Sea God Pavilion.

Soon, Yan Shaozhe led a stunningly beautiful girl with a slender and well-proportioned figure, long golden hair cascading down her back in large waves, and skin as white as snow into the Sea God Pavilion.

It was Jiang Nannan, Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er's former teammate.

Ji Lin was somewhat surprised, not expecting Yan Shaozhe to have Jiang Nannan fuse with this ten-thousand-year-old holy mark. But then again, Ji Lin remembered that Jiang Nannan was indeed close to breaking through level fifty, so she should have succeeded in breaking through now.

Wang Qiu'er also watched Jiang Nannan following behind Yan Shaozhe. This was the first time she had heard about the Holy Mark. Ji Lin had never told her about such a thing. Her intuition told her that the appearance of the Holy Mark was inseparable from Ji Lin, otherwise the two of them would not be in the Sea God Pavilion now.

If the Holy Marks are truly as miraculous as Xu Jiujiu claims, and can be made without hunting soul beasts, then the situation of their soul beast race will undergo a dramatic change, which will also be a new way out for their soul beast race.

Yan Shaozhe reached out and summoned a wisp of soul energy that enveloped the Ten-Thousand-Year Extreme Shadow Leopard Saint Mark in front of Xu Jiujiu. He brought it to Jiang Nannan and looked at her expectantly, saying, "Come on, Nannan, absorb this Ten-Thousand-Year Extreme Shadow Leopard Saint Mark and see if you can obtain your fifth soul ring."

Jiang Nannan had already heard Yan Shaozhe talk about the Holy Mark on her way here, and she knew why she was here. Of course, she also believed that the elders of the Sea God Pavilion would not harm her, and Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er were also there, so there should be no danger.

Ji Lin was not worried about Jiang Nannan's safety. No one present knew the Holy Mark better than him, and besides, the Ten Thousand Year Extreme Shadow Leopard Holy Mark was indeed very suitable for Jiang Nannan, who was an agility-based attacker.

Jiang Nannan did not hesitate. She took the Ten Thousand Year Shadow Leopard Saint Mark, sat cross-legged on the spot, and began to use her soul power to guide and fuse the Saint Mark.

The holy mark, enveloped in soul power, transformed into black light and slowly merged into Jiang Nannan's body. Jiang Nannan was completely enveloped in black light, and the figure of a Shadow Leopard appeared and disappeared within the black light.

Yan Shaozhe stared intently at Jiang Nannan's figure, ready to act at any moment. He didn't know much about the Holy Mark and didn't know if there would be any unexpected events, but he was prepared to rescue her. Moreover, he believed that with Elder Mu and the Golden Tree there, even if Jiang Nannan failed to fuse, they could still save her.

Soon, after the black light carrying the phantom of the Shadow Leopard completely merged into Jiang Nannan's body, five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—emerged beneath her, dancing around her body.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes as he exclaimed, "It really worked! It really is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring! This is unbelievable!"

The other elders of the Sea God Pavilion were also excited and their hearts were filled with emotion.

Jiang Nannan opened her eyes, let out a long sigh, and looked at the black spirit ring around her body with disbelief in her eyes. She had actually obtained her fifth spirit ring! She really could obtain a spirit ring without hunting spirit beasts!

Jiang Nannan felt the soul power filling her body and the information transmitted to her by the Holy Mark, her eyes filled with a deep sense of surprise.

Yan Shaozhe hurriedly asked, "Nannan, how are you feeling? Is there any problem? How is it different from absorbing a soul beast's soul ring? Is there any residual soul beast consciousness?"

Jiang Nannan pondered for a while and said, "Dean Yan, I feel that there is no difference from when I absorbed the soul beast's soul ring. I did not feel the soul beast's consciousness in this holy mark. The absorption went very smoothly. This ten-thousand-year soul ring did indeed give me a ten-thousand-year soul skill."

Xu Jiujiu then asked, "Did you receive any feedback from the Holy Mark? What are the effects of your Holy Mark? Did you gain any Holy Mark skills?"

Jiang Nannan glanced at Xu Jiujiu. She recognized Xu Jiujiu; she knew that this was Princess Xingluo and Ji Lin's fiancée.

She nodded and said, "I did receive feedback from the Stigmata. This Stigmata amplified my movement speed and reflexes, and also granted me a skill called Extreme Shadow. Activating this skill allows me to enter a high-speed movement state. This should be the Stigmata skill."

As she spoke, Jiang Nannan activated her Sacred Mark Skill. A black pattern appeared on her long, fair legs, and she was enveloped in black light. With a sway, more than a dozen afterimages appeared around her. These were the afterimages left by Jiang Nannan's high-speed movement, which showed just how fast she was. The elders of the Sea God Pavilion in the arena were all Title Douluo with sharp eyes. They could tell at a glance that Jiang Nannan's speed was almost comparable to that of a Soul Emperor-level agility-type Soul Master. It should be noted that Jiang Nannan had just obtained her fifth Soul Ring. With the amplification of the Sacred Mark and the effect of the Sacred Mark Skill Extreme Shadow, she had actually reached the Soul Emperor level in terms of speed.

Thinking of this, they became even more excited. If a ten-thousand-year-old Holy Mark could have such an effect, what about a hundred-thousand-year-old one? They knew they could also fuse with Holy Marks. Although they already had Soul Rings, fusing with Holy Marks wouldn't grant them Soul Rings, but it would give them Holy Mark amplification, or even Holy Mark skills. This was equivalent to having an extra amplification skill and a Soul Bone, which would make them stronger and might even allow them to break through their bottlenecks. Their descendants would also benefit from this. Of course, given their age, whether they could still have children was an unknown.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Jiang Nannan in surprise and said, "You're really lucky. Most people can only get the Holy Mark amplification, and very few can get the Holy Mark skill. According to our research, only a 100,000-year Holy Mark can guarantee the acquisition of the Holy Mark skill, and the probability of obtaining the Holy Mark skill with a 10,000-year Holy Mark is less than one in ten. The lower the year, the lower the probability."

Ji Lin's lips twitched. This Saint Mark fusion was like a lottery. If you were lucky, you could get an extra Saint Mark skill, but if you were unlucky, you would get nothing.

After a long pause, he looked at Moon and said, "Your Majesty, the effects and abilities of the Holy Mark have been proven. Now, let's get down to business."
