In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 52 (Please continue reading) The Second Soul Ring

What's that noise?

The group looked toward the source of the sound and the first thing they saw was a huge ape, about four meters tall, that was already unconscious, covered in wounds and on the verge of death.

"How about this one?" Xiong Jun's figure finally appeared from behind the ape. He had actually transformed into human form, becoming a burly man with nervous eyes and an unexpectedly polite tone.

Yinlan was a little embarrassed. In her memory, this bear was very audacious and even dared to provoke Di Tian. Who knew that she would scare him like this that day?

That's true. At most, Di Tian would just beat him up. He knew he was one of the important combat forces of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if Di Tian got angry, he wouldn't really kill him. But Gu Yuena was different. Gu Yuena was really willing to strike hard against him from within (laughs). She said she would kill him, and she would make sure he died (laughs).

"A Titan Ape, a little over 30,000 years old," Gu Yuena recognized the unconscious ape at a glance, then looked at Yin Lan, "Can you absorb its essence?"

"Sure," Tianmeng's figure solidified behind Yinlan. "Her mental strength is now so strong that she should be able to absorb a spirit ring that is about 50,000 years old without any problem. My power has also been unsealed to about the same level."

Yinlan's first soul skill, "Power of Heaven and Earth," has now been boosted by as much as +400%.

"Then this one will do." Yin Lan nodded. The Titan Giant Ape was indeed quite good, being one of the top-tier power-type soul beasts. She wasn't so obsessive as to insist on giving it a second soul ring that reached the 50,000-year limit. Just the fact that the second soul ring was 10,000 years long already surpassed her contemporaries by many times. She should be content.

Although Gu Yuena seemed indifferent, and everything had to give way to Yinlan's ascension to godhood, in Yinlan's plan, only one spirit ring was needed for the breakthrough. Once she decided on the ideal spirit beast's spirit ring, she would go and find the most suitable one. There was no need to kill more spirit beasts of the same kind. She could achieve the greatest results with the least sacrifice. She couldn't do the abstract thing that Tang San did, where he used the Eight Spider Lances to slaughter the spirit beast forest to forcibly improve his cultivation while muttering "these are all damned evil spirit beasts." Since Xiong Jun had already captured a 30,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, then let's use that. It's not bad anyway.

Because this is the second spirit ring, the situation is the same as that of Tianmeng Bingdie's first spirit ring. They are both being compared with other people's hundred-year spirit rings.

Yinlan stepped forward, summoned the Clear Sky Hammer in her left hand, and released her first soul skill. With one blow, she ended the life of the Titan Giant Ape, who was still unconscious, and guided its soul ring to be attached to it.

Yin Lan felt almost no pressure, nor any terrifying soul shock. She did hear a roar that sounded like an ape, and then it stopped. Not long after, a dark soul ring rose from beneath Yin Lan's feet, next to the platinum soul ring.

The second soul skill of the Clear Sky Hammer: Earth-Shaking Might: Attack, Strength and Defense are each increased by 300%. The three attributes amplified are the same as Dai Mubai's fifth soul skill "White Tiger Demon God Transformation", but the amplification is doubled. That makes sense, the Titan Giant Ape race is not weak to begin with, and it is superior to most tiger-type soul beasts. Dai Mubai would not have dared to hunt a ten-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape when he was only at the fifth ring.

But now another problem has arisen.

Yinlan looked at Xiong Jun somewhat embarrassedly: "Um, I think I'm level 30 now."

Having consumed so many immortal herbs at the level of a Great Soul Master, coupled with the absorption of a 30,000-year-old soul ring beyond the limit, it would be strange if their levels didn't rise. After each of the Shrek Seven Devils consumed an immortal herb, their cultivation levels increased by about five to seven levels. It should be noted that the higher the level of soul power cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Yin Lan's gains will only be greater.

Her implication was that Xiong Jun probably couldn't avoid the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's spirit ring. She didn't necessarily want Xiong Jun's spirit ring, but she wanted to prepare Xiong Jun mentally in advance. She would probably have to accept the spirit ring of one of Xiong Jun's clansmen.

Like the Evil Eye Tyrant in the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is an extremely protective race. This is why the first-generation Soul Masters only know that "the Titan Giant Ape is the strongest power-type Soul Beast" and are unaware of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's strength.

Under Xiong Jun's protection, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lives in the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest. In the era of Douluo Dalu, the average cultivation level of a Soul Master is only Soul Venerable. A Soul Emperor is enough to establish a sect and call himself a "major clan". No one can enter the Star Dou Great Forest so deep that they can see the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Even a Super Douluo of level 97 or 98 in this era would have a hard time defeating an ordinary 100,000-year Soul Beast.

Therefore, when Xiong Jun learned that Yin Lan needed a soul ring with the power attribute, and also had the support of Gu Yuena, the "Soul Beast Queen", even though he wasn't very smart, he started sweating profusely.

"How about..." Di Tian thought for a moment, and was just about to say something for Xiong Jun, suggesting some alternative soul beasts with other power attributes, when Xiong Jun interrupted him.

"No, there just happens to be a suitable Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in the clan, with a cultivation level of 50,000 years," Xiong Jun shook his head, interrupting Di Tian's speech. He didn't want to owe Di Tian a favor. "But kid, you have to promise me that this is the only Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring you can have."

"Who do you think you're talking to?" Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, her temper flaring up again.

But who knew that Xiong Jun would also grow bolder and actually retort: ​​"Right now she only has the ability to absorb ten-thousand-year spirit rings, but if this continues, sooner or later she will be able to absorb one-hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, or even ferocious beast spirit rings. My clan is the strongest power-type spirit beast. Do you expect me to personally offer up my clan members one by one in the future? Or even one day, when she wants my spirit ring, will I have to wash my neck and be slaughtered?!"

Gu Yuena was about to retort with "Otherwise what?" when Yin Lan, quick-witted and agile, hurriedly jumped up and covered her mouth. Anyone could say such a thing, but it was absolutely forbidden to come out of the mouth of the "Lord of Soul Beasts." If a monarch in the human world said something similar to his subordinates, they would dare to rebel in a heartbeat.

Gu Yuena does indeed possess power, and she can disregard the rebellion below. In fact, that power allows her to suppress the rebellion with a mere gesture... but that is on the premise that she does not wish to become the Dragon God.

Once she becomes the Dragon God, the restriction that "beastmen cannot become gods" will be lifted, and more and more new beastmen gods will emerge. At that time, no beastman god would want a leader with this kind of personality.

If she doesn't aim to become the Dragon God, she is the supreme ruler of all soul beasts, unmatched by any other beast race in the world. She can do whatever she wants with her immense power. But if she does aim to become the Dragon God... then she must learn how to be a qualified leader to prevent being rebelled against by the future beast gods.

...We need to find her a more reliable teacher.

Yinlan was also sweating profusely.

The amplification of the spirit rings is based on Dai Mubai. His fifth spirit ring, a ten-thousand-year tiger-type spirit beast, amplifies all three attributes by 150%. If it were a Titan Giant Ape of the same cultivation level, the amplification would definitely be higher (in the first season of Dou Yi, it was said that a Titan Giant Ape could defeat an ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit beast in a hundred years, but after thinking about it, most of the ten-thousand-year spirit beasts that appeared in Dou Yi were deformed, so it seems quite normal). A thirty-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape should be able to double the amplification.

The latest novel is first published here!

Tianmeng's main attribute is not strength but spirit. She uses a power-type soul ring that is replaced by a million years of cultivation, but her power is not fully unsealed. So I would say that her replacement is similar to that of the Titan Giant Ape.

Of course, in actual calculations, the boost is indeed lower than that given by a 50,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, but this is the first spirit ring. It should be compared not to a 50,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, but to a 100-year-old power-type spirit beast. Moreover, the spirit ring will continue to be unlocked in the future.

Therefore, in the end, the real top-tier power spirit beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, will provide an even greater boost.
