Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 120 Soul Ring Configuration: Terrifyingly Powerful

"After I obtained my first spirit ring, I started taking whale glue, which further enhanced my physical fitness and also increased the age of my spirit ring."

Then, five spirit rings, one yellow, one purple, and one black, appeared in succession beneath Ji Wuming's feet. When the fourth spirit ring, a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, was revealed, Yang Wudi, standing to the side, was filled with astonishment and doubt.

"My goodness! The Alliance Leader's fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring! Is this something a spirit master can do?"

But then he thought again: the Alliance Leader possessed so many immortal herbs; if he consumed one or two, there was a very high chance he could absorb a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring after absorbing his fourth soul ring.

However, he still asked curiously, "Alliance Leader, exactly how many years of spirit beast did your fourth spirit ring absorb?"

Before Ji Wuming could answer, the very proud Dugu Bo explained for him,

"It was I who helped Ji get his fourth spirit ring. The spirit ring came from the Thunderous Hell Vine, which is 15,000 years old."

"this--"

Yang Wudi was so surprised he couldn't speak. It wasn't until after more than ten seconds that he finally said...

"The Thunderous Hell Vine is a top-tier lightning-attribute plant-type soul beast, and it's 15,000 years old! Only lightning-attribute Soul Emperors or Soul Saints can absorb soul beasts of this age and level, yet he used it as his fourth soul ring—that's terrifying!!!"

"Is this also an added effect of whale glue?"

Under Yang Wudi's astonished gaze, Ji Wuming's soul power fluctuations increased once more, and the yellow second soul ring beneath his feet gradually faded, turning into a dazzling purple soul ring.

"???"

"???"

Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi could no longer maintain their composed demeanor. Their eyes widened, their chins drooping as they stared in utter astonishment at the color of the spirit ring displayed by Ji Wuming.

However, before they could be too shocked, Ji Wuming's original purple third spirit ring gradually turned dark purple, and a surge of spirit power emanated from the spirit ring itself.

The purple third ring has transformed into a pure and flawless, deep black ten-thousand-year soul ring.

"this--"

"Am I seeing things?"

Seeing this, Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo suddenly began to doubt their own eyes. Could there really be a Soul King in this world with yellow, purple, black and black colors?

Ji Wuming looked at the two people who were frozen in shock and said with great confidence,

"Seniors, this is my true power. Now do you still think whale gelatin is just an aphrodisiac?"

"You, you've been hiding your true intentions well; you even dared to deceive this old man."

Once he realized what was happening, Dugu Bo walked up to Ji Wuming, nudged him with his elbow, and said with a hint of resentment.

Yang Wudi was even more excited at this moment, and quickly pulled Ji Wuming in front of him, asking with great curiosity,

"Alliance Leader! How exactly did you obtain your second and third spirit rings? And what are their specific age limits? You must tell us two old men about these things in detail. Does whale glue really have such powerful effects?"

Ji Wuming looked at the two old men in front of him, who were overjoyed as if they had found a treasure, and explained the questions they had raised to them one by one.

"Here's what happened. My second spirit ring was obtained by absorbing a 1500-year-old lightning-attribute spirit beast after undergoing various conventional methods of body tempering, including water pressure, consuming whale glue for three years, and medicinal baths. As for my third spirit ring, I was much luckier..."

The two old men were even more astonished when they heard about the sacrificial offering of the Thunder Dragonfish.

"Sacrifice, what an unfamiliar yet beautiful word. I never expected you to pick up on it."

"No wonder your third spirit ring is so strikingly black; it turns out it was caused by a spirit beast sacrifice. However, your water pressure body tempering method is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. Can one really achieve a second spirit ring in a thousand years by simply taking whale glue and soaking in medicinal baths?"

Although Ji Wuming's spirit ring configuration was right in front of Yang Wudi, he still found it somewhat hard to believe.

However, Yang Wudi firmly believed that whale glue could increase the time a Soul Master could absorb Soul Rings.

At this moment, the more Dugu Bo looked at Ji Wuming, the more he liked him. Unlike before, when he looked up to him as a disciple or son-in-law, Dugu Bo now regarded him as his own son, making him cherish him deeply.

"Young Ji, if I'm not mistaken, you have at least one soul bone within you that can conceal the aura of your soul ring, right?"

"Um!"

Ji Wuming nodded and said, "There is indeed a simulated soul bone."

Dugu Bo nodded with great satisfaction. He didn't ask any more questions about the details of the soul bone, after all, he had watched Ji Wuming grow up, and his steady personality was Ji Wuming's greatest characteristic.

The very next second, Ji Wuming spoke again,

The latest novel is first published here!

"My affairs should not be exposed yet. It's best if the three of us know about them. And Grandpa, please don't tell my little sister that I broke through the martial soul's age limit. Otherwise, if she gets excited and takes the risk of absorbing a higher age soul ring in the future, it would be bad if an accident happened."

"Of course I know that, you don't need to remind me."

Dugu Bo knew his granddaughter's personality very well; she was strong-willed but unwilling to admit defeat. If Yan Yan were to have her husband's spirit ring configuration so heaven-defying, it would inevitably affect her cultivation mindset in the future.

Therefore, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious, and he had no choice but to warn Ji Wuming.

"Kid, you should tell her the truth about this yourself, but you can only tell her the secret of your spirit ring after she breaks through to the Soul Saint or even the Soul Douluo level."

"Okay, I understand."

Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo laughed happily upon hearing this, both ready to go all out for Ji Wuming's unwavering belief.

Just as Dugu Bo was about to head to Hanhai City to buy whale glue in bulk, Ji Wuming took out the Blue Silver Emperor from his treasure bag.

"Grandpa, please plant this Blue Silver Grass in the medicine garden. This Blue Silver Grass is very important to Lingling."

"Since I'll be passing through here on my way south, I might as well bring this Blue Silver Grass into the herb garden as well."

Dugu Yanbo had already heard Yan Yan talk about the Blue Silver Emperor that Ji Wuming was holding. This emperor-level Blue Silver Grass had the potential to grow into a 10-year-old soul beast, and planting it in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire could greatly promote its growth.

However, as it grows stronger in the future, one must be careful to prevent accidents from happening.

After that, Ji Wuming left the Po Clan with satisfaction, while Yang Wudi led some disciples with high alchemy talent to refine pills day and night. Dugu Bo also used his titled Douluo advantage to travel back and forth between the Po Clan and the coastal cities, using his wealth to buy whale glue on a large scale.
