Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 32 Departure from Heavenly Battle

"Ding! Since the host's soul power has reached level 40, the following task is hereby issued:"

"1. Gold-level mission: Obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring on your own without the help of external forces."

"2. Red-level mission: Absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring with the help of others."

"3. Black-level mission: Absorb a soul ring that is over 5000 years old as your fourth soul ring."

"4. Purple-level mission: Absorb the fourth soul ring within the normal age limit."

The system issued a new task the moment Xiao Yu broke through level 40.

A ten-thousand-year soul ring?

Looking at the tasks issued by the system, Xiao Yu unconsciously focused his gaze on the ten-thousand-year soul ring at the top.

In the original story, Tang San absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring when he was on his fourth spirit ring, stunning the entire Spirit Master Competition. Xiao Yu, who had already gained a significant advantage over Tang San at the start, would not fall behind. However, as Xiao Wu said in the original story, absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring not only tests the physical strength of a spirit master, but the soul vibrations generated by the remnant soul of the spirit beast during the absorption process are also a test of the spirit master's soul strength.

When a high-level soul beast dies, its soul is difficult to dissipate for a long time due to its powerful strength in life, and will cause soul vibration during the process of a soul master absorbing a soul ring.

Generally speaking, a level 50 Soul Master has the first four Soul Rings as a foundation, and all aspects of their functions have reached a certain level. Their spiritual power has also grown to a certain extent, so absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring will be relatively easy. However, they should still be extra careful. It is not that a quasi-Soul King level Soul Master will definitely succeed in absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Xiao Yu believes that in the history of Soul Masters, there have been cases of level 50 Soul Masters exploding and dying while absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Even level 50 Soul Masters face risks, let alone level 40 Soul Masters who are weaker. Not only is there a huge energy shock generated when absorbing Soul Rings, but their immature soul power is also subjected to strong soul shocks, which can cause them to lose their minds, become stupid, or even die.

In the original novel, there are several reasons why Tang San was able to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring. First, Tang San was a reincarnation, and his soul power was much stronger than that of a normal person. Second, the Purple Demon Eye could greatly weaken the resentment of a soul beast before its death. Third, the immortal herbs, the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, cleansed and transformed his body, greatly increasing his physical strength. The Autumn Water Dew greatly enhanced his mental power. Finally, there was his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, which could relieve the pressure of absorption at critical moments by relying on the power of absorption.

Xiao Yu was a cautious man. Although he was confident that his mental strength and physical power were stronger than those of ordinary soul masters, that wasn't enough. He would never take a risk without absolute certainty. Since there was a precedent to follow, he only needed to imitate it. Therefore, Tang San, the immortal herb of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well no longer belonged to you!

Besides the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Xiao Yu had several other reasons for heading to Tiandou:

First, it's a double-edged sword. Since we've already gone to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, we can't let the titled Douluo gatekeeper, Dugu Bo, go. Although his strength is the weakest among the titled Douluos, his group attack ability is the most terrifying. He can't kill a titled Douluo, but he can leave only titled Douluos on the other side.

Secondly, through Lou Gao's persistent and even somewhat fanatical research and development in forging and hammering, his soul tool level has risen rapidly. He can now stably produce level six soul tools and is striving to produce level seven soul tools. Among his disciples, Si Long, who has the best aptitude, is already proficient in producing level five soul tools, and the other three have also begun to try to produce them. Low-level soul tools have begun to be mass-produced.

With a large stockpile of soul tools, the Kingdom of Sylvia, ranking last among the four major vassal kingdoms of Tiandou, had virtually no wealthy clients. Naturally, he had to find a way to expand sales channels, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the second-ranked of the three major sects.

Thirdly, there's that little girl Ye Lingling. She graduated from the Soul Master Academy a few months ago and enrolled in the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy. She sends him a letter every ten days or so, constantly inviting him to a gathering in Heaven Dou City. In her letters, she also mentions the excellent resources of the Royal Academy from time to time. Xiao Yu suspects that she may not have given up on the idea of ​​getting him to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although it was absolutely impossible for him to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it wouldn't hurt to go and see Ye Lingling.

On one hand, he couldn't refuse such a kind invitation, and he also missed Ye Lingling, that timid little girl. On the other hand, he was preparing to start recruiting the Nine Heart Begonia family behind Ye Lingling. As the pinnacle of healing martial souls in the support category, the Nine Heart Begonia, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, has the fatal flaw of having no offensive power. However, a soul tool could make up for this gap, so it would be a good gift to bring to their door.

This time, Eden and Ikki had both reached the peak of level 39 and were showing signs of breaking through to level 40, so they chose to go into seclusion. Additionally, Io had also been at level 30 for some time. With the matters at the Soul Arena temporarily settled, the sect arranged for Soul Saints Mu and Luni to take him to hunt for Soul Rings. Zilong was currently at the peak of level 38 and still had some time before breaking through to level 40, so he could accompany Xiao Yu to Heaven Dou.

Xie Wu's current soul power level is 35, while Mi Yimei is close to 37. Although the two broke through to level 30 at roughly the same time, their innate soul power differs by one level. This is the difference in their natural talent, and as time goes on, this gap will only widen.

Before leaving, Xiao Yu prepared to settle the recent mission rewards and add a few more capable members to the sect.

Currently, Xiao Yu has one red-level summoning card, two black-level summoning cards, five purple-level summoning cards, and several yellow-level summoning cards. The red-level summoning card was a reward from Lou Gao for forging a level six soul tool. The black-level summoning card was a reward from the Nine Star Team for obtaining the Gold Soul Badge and a 20-game winning streak in the Soul Arena. The remaining purple-level and yellow summoning cards were obtained through winning streaks, rewards from the sect's influence range, and the exchange of basic forging of level four or five soul tools and low-level white-level summoning cards.

"Leave the purple and yellow level summon cards untouched, and use all the black and red level summon cards."

Xiao Yu focused his mind and sent a command to the system. He decided to keep the purple and yellow level cards and exchange them for higher-level permission summoning cards as much as possible, since the black and red level cards offered a higher guarantee of success.

"Ding, the selection of black-level characters has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Leo Minor Bronze Saint of the Omega Era, with the Martial Soul Flame Lion, innate soul power level 9, and current soul power level 37."

"Ding, the selection of the black-level character has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Yuna of the Eagle constellation, the Bronze Saint of the Omega Era, with the Martial Soul Whirlwind Eagle, innate soul power level 9, and current soul power level 35."

"Ding, the red-level character selection is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Aiolia of Leo, the Gold Saint of the SS era, with the Martial Soul Golden Lion, innate soul power level 9.5, and current soul power level 95."
