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

Chapter 72 The Fourth Soul Ring

Yin Lan opened her eyes, and helped herself up with the platinum-gold Clear Sky Hammer, which had grown even larger. Four spirit rings, one platinum and three black, rose up behind her.

Fourth Soul Skill - Golden Battle Intent: Strength +1000%, ignores the negative effects of negative status during the duration, and as the duration of this Soul Skill increases, it will also bring an additional effect of gradually increasing all attributes, up to an additional 50% increase in all attributes.

It is worth noting that after activating this soul skill, Yinlan only ignores the negative effects. This only prevents her from being held back by those negative statuses and allows her to still perform normally. However, the negative statuses are still attached to her.

Of course, abilities like "bloodline suppression" and "cultivation suppression" can be ignored when Yinlan activates her fourth soul skill. The opponent is still releasing pressure, but Yinlan just can't feel it.

As expected of "Ultimate Power", the additional boost to all attributes and the ability to ignore negative status effects are clearly derived from the golden lion mastiff's innate domain "Dominator Domain".

With a flash of light, Yinlan put the right arm bone that the golden-haired lion-dog had dropped into the storage bracelet on her left wrist. This storage soul tool was chosen for her by Gu Yuena. It had a large capacity, enough for her to use. Her old clothes and the bag of gold soul coins that were of great significance were also inside.

"Aren't you going to absorb it?" Qian Renxue asked curiously when she saw her actions. Generally speaking, when a Soul Master absorbs the Soul Ring and Soul Bone produced by the same Soul Beast, he can obtain the greatest benefit.

Moreover, Qian Renxue had heard Yin Lan mention before that the "Golden-haired Lion Mastiff" was known as the "Ultimate Power," and its power, cultivated over ten thousand years, was comparable to that of her second grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo (actually, that's an understatement). As a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master who also emphasized power, this was the "dream bone" of countless power-type Soul Masters, so Yin Lan would never give it up.

Are they still wary of us and don't trust us?

Seeing that Yinlan indeed showed a hesitant expression, as if she didn't know how to start the conversation, Qian Renxue's face showed some anxiety.

"Don't overthink it, she just doesn't like this soul bone," Gu Yuena said, thankfully, to help the two out. "Her taste isn't that bad."

"Poor taste...? This quality of soul bone is considered poor?!" Qian Renxue and the other two looked at Yin Lan again in disbelief, only to find that the child actually had an embarrassed expression on his face and nodded slightly.

Yinlan looked hesitant because of this; she didn't know how to start the conversation.

No, if you think it's bad, you can give it to us... Ci Xue and She Long wailed inwardly, but they still managed to keep their expressions on their faces and suppress all their emotions.

In the era of Douluo Continent I, everything related to 100,000-year-old soul beasts was basically a legend. This is why, even though external soul bones are more valuable, they only ranked second on the Soul Master Dream List, while the first place on the Soul Master Dream List was a 100,000-year-old soul ring and a 100,000-year-old soul bone. This is because in this era, 100,000-year-old soul beasts were truly rare in the Soul Master world, but external soul bones could occasionally be passed down through generations.

Therefore, a ten-thousand-year soul bone is already a top-tier treasure that is extremely rare and hard to come by in this era. It was even exaggeratedly touted by Yu Xiaogang as a Blood River treasure capable of triggering a war between two countries. Even the angel investor, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, was overjoyed to obtain a mere thousand-year soul bone. Although this was partly due to his need for a soul bone to save his life, it also shows the scarcity of soul bones among soul masters in this era and how precious they are.

Moreover, there's something even more abstract: even though Qian Renxue, as the inheritor of the Angel God's divine power, obtained the Angel God Armor Soul Bone, it wasn't a 100,000-year soul bone, but rather six 99999-year-old soul bones. Each one had extremely abstract and demanding absorption conditions, and all six soul bones had to be absorbed completely before the power of a normal 100,000-year soul bone set could be unleashed... In reality, the only valuable aspect of those six soul bones was that they contained the divine power of the previous Angel God.

Even in the era of Douluo Continent IV, with the development of artificial soul bones, soul bones remained a scarce commodity. Artificial soul bones only addressed the demand of soul masters for low- to mid-range soul bones; truly high-end soul bones were still unavailable.

Title Douluo don't have soul bones not because they have high standards and look down on them, but simply because the production of soul bones is too scarce, leaving them with no choice.

"Sister Tianmeng said that this golden-haired lion-dog has a cultivation level of nearly 20,000 years," Yinlan explained, "and I am not entirely a strength-type soul master either."

The right arm bone, which is only about 20,000 years old and possesses the "ultimate power," is too young for her. Moreover, she is right. Strength is only one of her fighting styles. As one of the three most important soul bone parts of the human body (the head, torso, and dominant hand, and most people are right-handed), the right arm bone must be carefully selected. She cannot choose a soul bone with only the strength attribute just for the sake of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. Her true core is still the "power of creation."

Moreover, compared to this right arm bone that was only about 20,000 years old, Yinlan coveted those true "god-level soul bones" even more.

She glanced at Gu Yuena.

In the era of Douluo Continent I, the "Dragon Valley Plane," known as the "Dragon Graveyard," was still periodically moving around Douluo Star.

Once you find the dimensional entrance to Dragon Valley, you can enter it, where the remains of many true dragons from the divine realm are buried!

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Gu Yuena pointed to herself.

"No," Yin Lan shook her head, then looked at Qian Renxue, "it's just that Sister Xue'er said she came to obtain her fifth soul ring."

Qian Renxue and the other two suddenly tensed up. They remembered the identity of the woman named Gu Yuena: "Soul Beast Sovereign".

Although the two sides have reached a preliminary alliance, the Soul Ring is still an unavoidable step for humans to break through. Yinlan was cultivated by the Soul Beast race, and the Soul Beast race is willing to sacrifice, but they are not!

The latest novel is first published here!

They originally thought that Qian Renxue's acquisition of a spirit ring would be postponed, and that matters concerning spirit rings would become an unwritten rule between the two parties: as long as it wasn't brought up, they wouldn't pry into it.

But no one expected that Yinlan would bring this up herself! Qian Renxue and the other two felt their hearts skip a beat, and they even forgot to think about how Yinlan knew Qian Renxue's real name.

You must know that Gu Yuena's multi-elemental barrier hasn't been retracted yet! They observed it carefully, and that barrier was simply beyond their ability to break through!

As expected, upon hearing Yin Lan's words, the man named Di Tian behind them visibly frowned, and Gu Yuena's expression also became noticeably less friendly!

"Why should I?!" Gu Yuena's words startled the three of them. Then, pointing at Qian Renxue, she shouted at Yin Lan with a resentful expression, "You've only known her for a short time, and you already call her Sister Xue'er! We've known each other for so long, and you still call me 'Big Fat Dragon,' 'Big Fat Dragon'!"
