Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 135 The So-Called Limit

Fortunately, although Ye Lingling was a girl, her bath only lasted for half an hour.

After all, she was covered in mud and grime, so it was quite efficient of her to only wash for half an hour.

Before Ning Feiliu's older sister got married in her previous life, she was considered to have showered quickly if she didn't take up more than half an hour of the bathroom.

Men, on the other hand, can usually finish washing their hair, taking a shower, and drying off in ten minutes if they don't use their phones, and then they'll run out.

When the sound of water stopped, it seemed that the images in Ning Feiliu's mind finally stopped as well.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." Just then, Ye Lingling, who had been drying her hair and changing her clothes, walked in and said.

Her wet hair made her look more delicate and less aloof than usual.

Ning Feiliu's eyes darted away for a moment, then she turned around seemingly casually and continued operating her equipment, saying, "Oh, you're welcome."

Ye Lingling didn't feel anything was different. She dried her hair with a towel and said, "I'm thanking you for the Xuan Shui Pill you gave me."

"Um, it's not that valuable. You should have broken through by now, right?" Ning Feiliu asked seriously.

"Yes, I have already broken through to the Soul Venerable realm," Ye Lingling said softly.

As for Ning Feiliu's statement that the Xuan Shui Dan was not valuable...

According to Ning Feiliu, the cost of Xuan Shui Dan might indeed not be high.

However, the cost of anything in this world is not determined by its material cost.

Like the so-called diamonds of the past, they are just carbon element stones that can be mined in any quantity you want, and their price is at most a few hundred or even a few dozen dollars.

However, because the capitalists who own diamond mines restrict mining and engage in romance marketing, they have driven up the price of diamond rings to millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

However, the Mystic Water Pill is not so low as to be compared to diamonds; at least the Mystic Water Pill is truly effective.

However, it is a rare commodity, and currently only Ning Feiliu and Dugu Bo have it. Because it is unique in the market and there is no market for it, it has been driven up to an extra high price.

However, this value is still quite precious.

In that case, Ning Feiliu might as well auction off that Xuan Shui Pill again; earning another million gold soul coins wouldn't be a problem.

Why give it to Ye Lingling?

Therefore, Ye Lingling understood this matter very well and was extremely grateful to Ning Feiliu.

"That requires a spirit ring..." Ning Feiliu said, "When do you plan to get your third spirit ring?"

"I can apply to the academy to obtain a spirit ring, but it will probably be at least three days before they can arrange for a teacher to accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the spirit ring," Ye Lingling said immediately. "Or I can have my family's elder accompany me to obtain the spirit ring the day after tomorrow..."

One of the great benefits of joining an academy is that when a Soul Master needs a Soul Ring to advance their cultivation level, they can request an academy teacher to accompany them in obtaining the Soul Ring.

This is certainly a great benefit for ordinary Soul Masters, since having a teacher accompany them is much better than going into the Soul Beast Forest alone to obtain Soul Rings.

Not only can teachers step in to protect students in case of danger, but they can also use their knowledge to help students choose their soul beasts.

However, most academy teachers don't have Yu Xiaogang's so-called theory of maximizing the absorption of spirit rings to select the so-called "best year spirit ring".

Even many teachers cannot accurately determine the age of a soul beast; they can only roughly know that the soul beast is several hundred years old.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of students absorbing spirit rings, the teachers of these academies will choose spirit beasts that are a little younger.

This is for safety, after all, risking your life just to absorb a spirit ring... it's really not worth it.

However, besides being able to accurately determine the age of a soul beast, Gangzi's other theories, including the theory of extreme absorption of soul rings, are absolutely groundbreaking.

After all, in the original storyline, he came up with the so-called theory of absorbing the ultimate spirit ring by browsing through the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's library and, through his relationship with Bibi Dong, browsing through the Spirit Hall's library. He then took the record of the highest-year spirit ring absorbed in a certain realm as the ultimate "limit" for a spirit master in that realm to absorb spirit rings.

In other words, they simply took notes of data recorded by others, made a summary, and then used it as their own theory.

This practice of taking this data as gospel is truly laughable.

It's fortunate that it was the third brother, who possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill and was also a twin top-tier martial soul. Otherwise, he would have been just an ordinary soul master and would probably have exploded and died after absorbing the first soul ring.

No wonder Yu Xiaogang said that ordinary soul masters and soul masters from the Spirit Hall scoffed at his theories, no one believed them, and no one dared to absorb soul rings according to his theories.

That's for sure. If you really followed his theory and forcibly absorbed the so-called ultimate age spirit ring regardless of physical condition, any spirit master with a slightly weaker physique would definitely die. Tang San was very lucky to become his first guinea pig in the original story.

The so-called limit of absorbing a spirit ring definitely depends on the spirit master's own martial spirit and current physical condition.

You're saying that a regular soul master with a martial soul of ordinary Blue Silver Grass absorbs a nearly 400-year-old soul ring with their first soul ring. Is that the same as Yu Tianheng absorbing a nearly 400-year-old soul ring with his first soul ring?

Putting aside other things, if Huo Yuhao hadn't encountered the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, and had absorbed a soul ring that was two or three hundred years old as his first soul ring, he would have been doomed to die anyway.

Ning Feiliu himself has a deep understanding of this, because of his ability to explode soul rings, he can absorb soul rings that are over eight thousand years old, even though he is still a Soul Master.

According to his plan, his fourth spirit ring will definitely be able to absorb ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

Because there is no negative effect like the ring explosion that clashes with the original spirit ring's power, his current body can easily bear the power of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

As for the mental impact of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast...

Not to mention that Ning Feiliu was an adult in his previous life, and after merging with the soul of the original owner in this life, his spiritual power was already enormous.

With the enhancement of his spiritual sea by the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, he is now capable of withstanding the spiritual impact of so-called ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

However, as for Ye Lingling... she is, after all, only a support-type Soul Master, and her physical attributes are a bit weaker. Therefore, the requirements can be lowered slightly based on Gangzi's ultimate Soul Ring.

"That's too slow. How about this, I'll call Sister Yan, and we'll set off tomorrow to Sunset Forest to help you get your spirit ring," Ning Feiliu said with a light laugh. "I'm really looking forward to you getting your spirit ring so you can continue participating in the two-person spirit battle with me as soon as possible. You know I can't find anyone to fight in the one-person spirit battle right now."

Ye Lingling thought about it for a moment, and then, not finding anything wrong with it, nodded and said, "Okay."
