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

Chapter 188 The Treatment of Geniuses

"Therefore, Fei Liu's fourth spirit ring will be able to absorb spirit rings that are over ten thousand years old." Dugu Bo immediately stated the truth. He then looked at Ning Fei Liu and asked, "Fei Liu, you have always had your own ideas. What kind of spirit ring do you want to absorb for your fourth spirit ring this time?"

"As for the quality of the soul beasts, the better the quality, the more satisfied I am. As for the species... the best ones would be Hellfire Dragon, Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, Demon-Eyed Demon Tree, and Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear," Ning Feiliu said casually. "As for the age, I hope to absorb soul beasts that are over 20,000 years old this time."

Since the fourth spirit ring was not a re-absorption of a spirit ring, he did not need to be as conservative as when re-absorbing a spirit ring—in fact, he was still conservative.

With his current ability to repeatedly absorb spirit rings and the powerful physique forged by the Moon Essence Breathing Technique and the Sunlight Breathing Technique, it feels like he could challenge high-quality spirit rings that are over 30,000 years old.

As for soul shock and mental impact, needless to say, if a soul beast with a lifespan of 10,000 years can withstand the soul shock of a soul beast with a lifespan of 20,000 years, then the soul shock of a soul beast with a lifespan of 10,000 years will not be much stronger than that of a soul beast with a lifespan of 10,000 years.

Perhaps if it were a soul tremor from a 50,000-year-old soul beast, it would be so powerful that even Ning Feiliu's current mental strength would be unable to withstand it.

However, he wouldn't rush things. Why rush when the spirit ring can be reabsorbed?

However, one should not be too cautious, since absorbing a spirit ring of significantly higher quality would be beneficial to Ning Feiliu in the short term.

However, Ning Feiliu felt that she still had to be careful and cautious, and could not let greed cause any mistakes in her cultivation path.

"A lifespan of 20,000 years?" However, his words, which he considered conservative, shocked Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others.

However, they also knew that this was clearly not a risky move, given Ning Feiliu's 30,000-year soul ring was right there in front of them.

Dugu Bo would never allow Ning Feiliu to take such a risk, so Ning Feiliu was indeed able to absorb a 20,000-year-old soul ring.

but……

Ning Fengzhi then said, "The quality and variety cannot be too casual, Fei Liu."

His expression was somewhat serious, which surprised Ning Feiliu.

"That's right. As a battle spirit master... especially since it concerns your future, Fei Liu, you can't be too careless in choosing your spirit rings, lest you appear to be on the same level as those ordinary spirit masters outside." Bone Douluo nodded and said.

Ning Feiliu may not be aware that the more powerful and prestigious a Soul Master sect is, the more stringent the requirements are for the Soul Rings of its core disciples.

Not only in terms of the quality of the spirit rings, but even the types of spirit rings have been limited to certain types of spirit beasts.

These prestigious Soul Master sects, through generations of exploration, have long since found the Soul Beast Soul Rings that best suit their own Martial Soul characteristics, enabling them to obtain the most powerful Soul Rings currently available. Therefore, they generally require the absorption of these types of Soul Beast Soul Rings.

For example, among the core disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, you might notice that the soul skills of the two cousins, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, are exactly the same.

Even the first three soul skills of Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and Thunder Douluo, are exactly the same as those of his cousins ​​Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.

This is because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has already figured out the best types of spirit beasts to choose when absorbing spirit rings.

In addition, the larger the Soul Master sect, the stricter the requirements are for the Soul Rings of its direct core disciples.

However, Ning Feiliu absorbed the original owner's memories, and what she remembered was...

"We Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters don't have specific requirements for the type of Soul Ring, do we?" he asked, puzzled.

After all, when the original owner absorbed the first soul ring, although it was a soul beast raised by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there was actually no specific need for the type.

At least the soul beast that the original owner killed when absorbing the first soul ring and the first soul rings of the brothers did not all come from the same race.

Moreover, for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters, the Soul Skills are generally of a fixed amplification type. Only after the Martial Soul is upgraded to Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and after the Martial Soul True Form is formed, will the Soul Skills obtained change according to the Soul Beast's own abilities.

The previous ones were mostly about increasing strength and speed, and at most, there were other options for the sixth soul skill.

The fact that Ning Fengzhi's sixth soul skill is different from Ning Rongrong's in the original story shows that the sixth soul ring of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master can produce different soul skill effects.

For example, Ning Fengzhi chose healing ability for his sixth spirit ring, while Ning Rongrong chose to take it a step further in terms of amplifying teammates' abilities.

When Ning Feiliu used the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method to forge the Folding Mirror, she used the spiritual power that represents her sixth spirit ring.

Besides the "true self," which represents the power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda that is the true form of the Seven Treasures, the other six powers of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul are strength, speed, attack, defense, soul power, and spirit.

This is why the soul skills of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master are mostly fixed.

However, due to the limitations of reabsorbing soul rings, Ning Feiliu still preferred to search among the ferocious beast races from the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of Tang Dynasty.

This also makes it easier for him to become stronger later on and go find these ferocious beasts to reabsorb soul rings.

However, Di Tian, ​​Xue Di, and Bi Ji are quite special, as there are almost no other soul beasts of their kind.

The Ice Emperor and the Evil Emperor's same-species soul beasts either need to go to the far north to find the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, or they need to go to the Sun and Moon Continent to find the Evil Eye Clan.

That's not very realistic.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu focused her attention on the Hell Dragon, Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and Demon Eye Demon Tree, which were easier to find members of the same race.

Then, you need to find a 20,000-year-old soul beast of a certain race and absorb that unlucky soul beast.

"You're wrong, Fei Liu. While we Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters don't have very high requirements for the type of Soul Beast, it's not that we have no requirements at all," Ning Fengzhi said seriously. "And your situation is a little different. You are a Battle Soul Master, not a Support Soul Master. It seems that the Soul Skills of your various Crescent Moon Divine Weapons are based on the source of your Soul Rings, right?"

"And according to my guess, your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul should also have a Soul Skill that can amplify others, right?"

Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "However, my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul cannot provide corresponding buffs to others when I use the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon corresponding to the power. For example, when I use the Firefly Flame, I cannot use the first soul skill to provide a power buff to my teammates."

Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood the principle behind Ning Feiliu's Crescent Moon Divine Weapon.

The five Crescent Moon Divine Weapons correspond to the five Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas, which originally correspond to five different powers. Therefore, when using the corresponding Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, one cannot use the corresponding power.

However, if that's the case, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has six different amplification soul skills, and Ning Feiliu has even upgraded it to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...

But Ning Fengzhi didn't mention that for the time being. Instead, he continued, "So, Fei Liu, the source of your fourth soul ring determines what type of amplification soul skill you can use. This is not unrelated."

"Fei Liu, which two kinds of spirit beasts did you absorb for your second and third spirit rings?" he asked again.

"My second spirit ring was used to hunt the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, and my third spirit ring was used to hunt the Silver Moon Mane Lion," Ning Feiliu replied immediately.

"Then, Fei Liu, your second soul skill should be speed, and your third soul skill should still be attack enhancement," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. "Because although our soul skills are fixed, we can still absorb different soul beasts according to our needs and thus obtain corresponding enhancement soul skills."

"For example, if you want a soul power amplification skill next, you can choose a soul beast whose main ability is to enhance your own status. You can usually get a soul power amplification skill that way."

"However, the kinds of spirit beasts you just mentioned are all quite good." He expressed his approval at this point.

The Hell Dragon, the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and the Demon Eye Tree are all top-tier soul beasts, except for the Demon Eye Tree, which is slightly inferior.

"Fei Liu, what are your next thoughts?" Ning Fengzhi immediately asked again, "I don't think the attributes and soul skills of the Hell Dragon are really suitable for you. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound are more suitable. You'll most likely get a soul power amplification soul skill, and there's a small chance you'll get a defense amplification soul skill. I think they're both quite suitable."

"As for the Demon Eye Tree, I remember there was a record of a disciple in the sect who absorbed a Nightmare Tree similar to this kind of soul beast. He probably gained a spiritual boost. I don't really encourage you to absorb this type of soul beast."

In Douluo Continent, mental attacks are limited to illusions; there has been no development of more advanced attack methods like telekinetic attacks.

Even if it were possible, it would only be used for retaliation, or for counterattacking when someone invades one's mental consciousness.

In the original storyline, even though Shi Nian was a powerful mental control warrior, he could only use illusion attacks.

Therefore, mental amplification is really useless in Douluo Continent. This is also why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School never chooses a mental amplification-related soul skill as its sixth soul skill, even though the sixth soul skill clearly represents the power of mental will.

"Mental amplification, huh..." Ning Feiliu pondered for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, "But I think it would be great if my fourth soul skill could gain mental amplification."

"Huh?" Everyone present was quite surprised.

"However..." Ning Feiliu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "After hearing what my father said, I actually prefer to use my fourth spirit ring to hunt another kind of spirit beast."

"What kind of soul beast?" Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"The Emerald Swan," Ning Feiliu replied.

"Huh?" Ning Fengzhi and the others widened their eyes again.

Ning Feiliu suddenly chuckled, shook her head, and said, "So I actually prefer the Demon Eye Tree."

After all... the Emerald Swan is an extremely rare soul beast.

It can be said that the Emerald Swan, a soul beast, is like the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu's two devoted admirers; there is probably only one of these in the Star Dou Great Forest at present.

And that one... is Brigitte!

Bi Ji, one of the ten most ferocious beasts during the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of the Condor Heroes era, is actually a jade swan. Their numbers are extremely small, and they are almost extinct.

This is because the Emerald Swan is too fragile, especially when it is young, and it is easy for it to become food for other soul beasts.

Furthermore, they embody the pure life force of nature. The life force contained in a 100,000-year-old jade swan can even be compared to that of a living being made of gold that is shrunk a thousand times from its original size.

It can be considered a great tonic for any soul beast.

Therefore, emerald swans are too easy to kill before they reach adulthood.

Brigitte was very lucky in the Emerald Swan Clan because she was very young and her cultivation was not strong.

She unintentionally saved a very weak soul beast, and at the time she didn't even know what kind of soul beast it was.

It wasn't until later that she learned that the father of that soul beast was a powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

It was this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that protected Bi Ji as she grew, for over a thousand years. After a thousand years of cultivation, Bi Ji's life force became even more immense, attracting the covetous eyes of many soul beasts.

However, she never held grudges. After those soul beasts were defeated or injured by her guardians, she would always persuade them to spare their lives and heal them. Over time, some of the soul beasts she had healed began to choose to stay by her side and protect her as well.

Because of her treatment, they are able to live longer.

Under the protection of these spirit beasts, Bi Ji was able to grow rapidly and eventually become one of the famous Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

Ning Feiliu wanted to acquire a jade swan that was about 20,000 years old as his fourth soul ring, actually because of... the resurrection runes on his body.

The enhanced healing effect of the Rejuvenation Rune means that if his fourth soul ring gains a healing soul skill like Ning Fengzhi's sixth soul ring, the healing effect will definitely be no weaker than Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia!

Ning Feiliu prefers to absorb soul beasts from the same clan as the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, so that he can reabsorb soul rings of ferocious beast level in the future.

Therefore, only the Emerald Swan is suitable.

However... everyone knows how rare the Emerald Swan is.

Ning Feiliu certainly wouldn't force it, but... a soul beast like the Demon Eye Tree isn't particularly rare, is it?

Since the fourth spirit ring cannot grant a healing spirit skill, obtaining a spirit amplification spirit skill is actually quite good...

Because he possesses the Spirit Condensation Technique, which is attached to the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method!

It allows one to directly transform mental energy into weapons to attack enemies.

The Spirit Amplification Soul Skill would be quite good for him.

Moreover, he is not afraid of anything else now, except for others playing mental attacks and illusions. He has to be wary of someone like Shi Nian.

"But..." Ning Fengzhi still frowned a little. He didn't think the mental amplification soul skill was that good.

For Ning Feiliu right now, the best thing would be to obtain a soul power amplification skill. With the amplification of the four major offensive attributes—strength, speed, attack, and soul power—Ning Feiliu would be able to unleash terrifying combat power!

"Father... I have my own decision." Ning Feiliu smiled and said firmly.

Hearing Ning Feiliu's firm words, Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "Alright... In that case, I'll help you obtain a soul ring with your sword grandfather tomorrow."

"I'll join you too, after all, Fei Liu is my student," Dugu Bo said with a chuckle.

"How could I possibly accept this... Fei Liu has already troubled Mr. Dugu quite a bit before," Ning Fengzhi said, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's no trouble at all. Fei Liu is my student, how can it be considered troublesome?" Dugu Bo said with a smile.

"Well... alright." Ning Fengzhi reluctantly agreed.

Ning Feiliu found it rather strange that his acquisition of his fourth spirit ring involved two Title Douluos, as well as Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the number one support-type spirit master on the Douluo Continent, all helping him obtain a spirit ring...

What a grand welcome!

After all, he is now a genius Soul Master valued by everyone...
