Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 3 Su Cheng's Method

"Is it possible to trigger a side quest?" Su Cheng was overjoyed.

Absorbing the first spirit ring beyond his level was part of his plan, and he was 90% confident about it. This was a crucial step in his plan to destroy the Spirit Hall in the future.

From initially choosing "medical genius" as her talent, to spending a lot of time studying medicine at the age of three, she has finally reaped the rewards.

"Are you really sure?" Chen Xin was shocked when she heard Su Cheng's request.

He truly hadn't expected that this child would actually want to hunt a spirit beast over 650 years old as his first spirit ring.

It should be noted that, theoretically, the maximum absorption time for the first spirit ring is only 423 years. This is not just a casual statement, but the result of countless years of experimentation by many top forces.

Perhaps a few people could break through this limit, but he didn't think that included himself, his adopted son whose innate soul power was only level 0.5.

"Father, there is a limit to how a Soul Master can absorb Soul Rings because their body cannot withstand the process. Take a level 10 Soul Master as an example; their physical limits are fixed, and they cannot withstand Soul Rings of higher age. However, without absorbing Soul Rings, they cannot break through their physical bottlenecks."

Su Cheng patiently explained to Chen Xin.

"My years of research into medicine and the human body have not been in vain. There are many acupoints on the meridians of the human body."

"Some special acupoints, when stimulated, can greatly enhance the meridians' energy absorption efficiency in a short period of time, while also stimulating the body's potential. Combined with some relatively mild medicinal solutions, it is entirely possible to achieve the effect of raising the body's upper limit in a short period of time."

"Once the spirit ring is absorbed, the energy feedback will be enough to make up for the excessive consumption in this short period of time."

Chen Xin still found it hard to believe.

Su Cheng has been quietly cultivating all these years, but I never expected that he could achieve this.

Su Cheng looked at him earnestly, "Father, you must help me this time. Whether I can join the Spirit Hall depends on this."

"What did you say? Join the Spirit Hall?" Chen Xin frowned even more deeply; he could roughly guess what Su Cheng wanted to do.

"Of course. I've been striving for this goal since birth. I admit I lack talent, so I naturally need to find another way. Father, the world has suffered under the Spirit Hall for too long; you will support me, won't you?"

Chen Xin sighed.

He has been cultivating since he was three years old, and it has been almost six years now. He has witnessed all of Su Cheng's efforts during this time.

How could he not avenge his parents' death? He didn't know how to advise them at this moment.

"I will inform the sect leader about this matter and let him decide. But Cheng'er," Chen Xin said solemnly, looking into Su Cheng's eyes, "you have a long life ahead of you. Don't let hatred blind you."

Hearing this, Su Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Fengzhi has now taken over as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If it were Chen Xin, she might stop him from taking the risk because of family ties. But Ning Fengzhi would definitely prioritize his own interests; as long as he had sufficient power, he would never stop him.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng smiled brightly. "Don't worry, Father, I will definitely be a good person from now on!"

As he had expected, after Ning Fengzhi arrived, although he offered some words of advice, he still agreed to his request to absorb a spirit ring beyond his level.

However, the other party clearly didn't believe he could do it and wanted to go hunting soul beasts with them.

[Main Quest - Part 2 Completed.]

Main Quest - Third Stage: Infiltration

Mission objective: Join the Spirit Hall and gain its trust and be given important responsibilities.

Task Rewards: The final settlement bonus will increase based on the task completion rate.

"Cheng'er, do you really want to absorb this 630-year-old scaled beast?"

No other subordinates accompanied them on this hunt for spirit beasts; only Su Cheng, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi were present.

At this moment, Su Cheng had finished off the scaled beast, and its yellow spirit ring, which was over six hundred years old, was now exposed to everyone, waiting for Su Cheng to absorb it.

For Su Cheng, it didn't matter what kind of spirit beast his first spirit ring came from or what spirit skills it could provide. His purpose in absorbing a spirit ring beyond his level this time was simply to prove his theory.

The reason for choosing this scaled beast was simply because its age was just right.

"Of course, we've come this far."

"Does your method really work?" Chen Xin was still a little uneasy and asked again to confirm.

"Don't worry, Father, I'm confident."

Su Cheng stepped forward, first taking out a jar of medicinal liquid from his soul tool and applying it all over his body. Then he took out silver needles and inserted them into nineteen acupoints on his body, including Jingming, Xingjian, Huiyin, Zhongji, Changqiang, and Mingmen.

The effects of this series of preparatory actions were immediate.

The body's potential was instantly unleashed, the flow of energy between the meridians became smoother, the originally narrow energy pathways were widened by more than two times, and even the physical strength was greatly enhanced at this moment.

"Next comes the most crucial step. If we succeed this time, it will increase the overall success rate of the plan by at least 30%!"

Taking a deep breath, Su Cheng sat cross-legged on the spot and summoned the mutated martial soul he named "Broken Sword".

As the martial spirit drew in, the spirit ring floated to his front and enveloped the cracked broken sword martial spirit.

The immense power, like scorching magma, surged forth, giving him no time to prepare, and forcefully squeezed into the narrow passage.

Fortunately, the acupuncture with silver needles had improved the width and flexibility of his meridians; otherwise, this impact alone would have likely caused him to explode and die.

After withstanding the first impact, he felt that his resistance was slightly stronger than before. The medicine on his skin continued to seep into his body, silently repairing his injured body.

Time passed by little by little...

at last.

The stinging sensation in the meridians disappeared, replaced by a warm and continuous flow of energy throughout the body, which felt extremely refreshing.

When Su Cheng opened his eyes, a yellow soul ring surrounded his martial soul.

Side quest completed. Reward: Improved physical attributes.

Ning Fengzhi was completely shocked. "It actually succeeded... It's two hundred years longer than the theoretical limit for a spirit ring, and this is only the first spirit ring..."

After the initial shock came intense joy; he seemed to see the title of the number one sect on the continent beckoning to him.

"Cheng'er, how are you? Is there anything that's bothering you?" Unlike Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin's primary concern was Su Cheng's safety.

"No problem, Father. I feel extremely good right now." Su Cheng clenched his fist and carefully observed the changes in his martial soul.

He continued to the two of them, "This time, the absorption of energy beyond my level directly raised my soul power level to over level twelve, almost level thirteen. Moreover, with the energy feedback, the previous stimulation method had no hidden dangers at all."

"Great, that's wonderful!" Even Ning Fengzhi, with his composure, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Is this method widely applicable?" He looked at Su Cheng with anticipation.

"Of course it can be popularized. After all, even a piece of trash like me with innate soul power of only 0.5 can succeed." Su Cheng said calmly, not hiding his talent deficiency at all.

Just as Ning Fengzhi was about to offer words of comfort, his next words left him stunned.

"Sect Master, I am preparing to popularize this technology throughout the entire continent."
