Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

She remembered clearly that before losing consciousness, the tearing pain and the violent energy surging into her body were all thanks to that damned ice silkworm!

Startled by the anger in Xiao Wu's eyes, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shrank back and quickly swayed its plump body, explaining, "Don't get excited! Don't get excited! Little sister Xiao Wu, let me explain! This isn't an ordinary white spirit ring! This is the million-year wisdom spirit ring that your brother, the million-year spirit beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, sacrificed for you!"

It paused, seemingly trying to create an air of mystery, but seeing Xiao Wu's almost fiery gaze, it immediately gave up and quickly added, "And this isn't white, it's platinum! Platinum! Understand? High-end stuff! Symbolizing my million-year-old noble status and pure ice attribute essence!"

Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then looked down at her third spirit ring again.

Upon closer inspection, a faint, yet exceptionally noble, golden halo could indeed be seen flowing deep within the luminous white light. It was almost impossible to detect without a keen sense of perception within one's spiritual sea.

Chapter 221 Four Soul Skills

"Platinum...gold?" Xiao Wu murmured, her anger temporarily suppressed by the unfamiliar color of the soul ring, but her vigilance and suspicion remained undiminished.

"What exactly is going on? What did you do to me? A sacrifice? How can a soul beast be sacrificed to another soul beast?"

She felt like she was listening to a fairy tale.

Sacrifice—isn't that the ultimate ritual performed by a 100,000-year-old soul beast when facing a desperate situation, in order to leave its soul ring and soul bone to a specific human?

Soul beasts sacrificing themselves for other soul beasts? Unheard of!

Seeing that Xiao Wu seemed willing to listen to its explanation, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly moved closer, still maintaining a safe distance, but the fawning smile on its face returned.

"Hehe, ordinary soul beasts certainly won't do, but who am I? I am Tianmeng, a million-year-old soul beast! My spiritual power is unparalleled in the world! I've pondered for countless years before coming up with this ingenious plan that has never been seen before or since!"

It waved its short forelimbs and began to chatter incessantly.

"Simply put, I'm handing myself over to you! My soul, my primal power, are sealed within this Wisdom Soul Ring. From now on, we're one! If you die, I'm finished too. If you live, I'll live the high life with you and witness you become a god!"

"See those ten orbs of light?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gestured with its head to the ten orbs of light floating above the Sea of ​​Spirit, emitting a soft platinum glow.

"These are the ten layers of seals I set up. They can increase the age of your spirit rings, and although your third spirit ring is at the million-year level, it doesn't currently possess the power of a million-year spirit ring. However, as your cultivation progresses, the power I sealed within you will gradually be unsealed, enhancing the power of this spirit ring. It can even enhance the power of your other spirit rings in the future."

It sighed, its tone tinged with a mixture of helplessness and arrogance: "After all, the power I've accumulated over a million years is simply too vast for you. If I gave it all to you directly, you'd explode on the spot. But don't worry, I've calculated it! Once all ten layers of my seal are broken, I can support ten of your spirit rings to reach the 100,000-year level!"

"Moreover," Tianmeng Bingcan's small eyes sparkled, with an expression that said, "You've hit the jackpot."

"Furthermore, because you yourself are a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, coupled with the primordial power your mother left you... all of these combined have produced a wondrous reaction. This means that you will no longer need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings like other soul masters. Your soul rings will automatically condense and generate as your cultivation level increases and my seal is broken!"

It wriggled its chubby body and said proudly, "What's even more amazing is that, with the combined power of the three of us, we can push the lifespan of every spirit ring you condense in the future to an unprecedented level! 120,000 years! Did you hear that? Not just 100,000 years, but 120,000 years! This has already surpassed the limit of a typical 100,000-year spirit ring!"

Xiao Wu was completely stunned, her mind went blank. No need to hunt soul beasts?

It can spontaneously form spirit rings? Each spirit ring can reach a maximum age of 120,000 years?

This completely overturned her understanding of Soul Master cultivation.

She felt like her worldview was being rubbed into the ground by this seemingly stupid ice silkworm.

“Wait a minute,” Xiao Wu seized on another crucial point, “you mean becoming a god?”

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's little eyes lit up, as if it had finally come to its proudest point.

"That's right! Become a god! You are a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and your talent is top-notch even among humans! With my million years of cultivation and spiritual power to assist you, your cultivation speed will definitely be a thousand miles a day! Title Douluo is just the starting point, our goal is the God Realm! As long as we become gods, we can have eternal life and never have to worry about birth, aging, sickness and death again."

Seeing Xiao Wu's shocked expression, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued to boast, "Ahem, besides this awesome Wisdom Soul Ring, I've also brought you an enormous benefit! A second Martial Soul!"

"A second martial soul?"

Xiao Wu was shocked once again. Twin martial souls? Isn't that something only one in ten thousand geniuses among humans could possess?

“That’s right!” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm swayed its body triumphantly.

"However, this martial soul currently only has an attribute, but no form. It is condensed from the ultimate ice attribute essence accumulated by me over millions of years of cultivation. Your martial soul will only take shape when you absorb your first ice attribute soul ring."

"The spirit ring you absorbed from which spirit beast will determine your second spirit. In other words, your second spirit will definitely be a beast spirit."

Seeing Xiao Wu's somewhat bewildered expression, it added in an old-fashioned tone, "Don't worry about that, I've already thought it through. Just follow my instructions. I guarantee I'll find you the most suitable and powerful ice-attribute soul beast to start your second martial soul!"

Xiao Wu was processing this huge amount of information and felt her mind was a bit of a mess.

A million-year soul ring, ten layers of seal, increasing the age of the soul ring, a second martial soul... all of this came too suddenly and too unbelievably.

"Then... what is the soul skill for my third soul ring?"

She asked the most practical question. No matter how powerful a spirit ring is, it ultimately needs to be reflected in spirit skills.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, its plump body swaying proudly: "Four soul skills! Offense, support, and defense all covered, guaranteed to make you, Little Wu, invincible among your peers!"

It began to list the skills with great familiarity, its tone tinged with pride: "First, mental detection. This is a top-tier auxiliary reconnaissance skill! Its detection range increases with your strength, and its penetrating power is extremely strong, easily passing through walls and fog. Most importantly, it can instantly analyze the opponent's soul power fluctuations, weaknesses, and even signs of soul skill charging, and all information can be shared with your designated teammates without delay. With it, you'll have an extra pair of all-seeing eyes on the battlefield."

"Second, mental shock!" A sharp glint flashed in Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's small eyes.

"This is a genuine offensive soul skill! It transforms highly concentrated spiritual power into invisible spikes, directly bombarding the opponent's soul. The damage is considerable, and more importantly, it can effectively interrupt the opponent's soul skill in progress, and even cause the opponent to be briefly stunned. It is extremely effective against those who rely on complex soul skills or have weak spiritual power!"

It paused, then continued, "The third is disguise. This is not just ordinary invisibility or changing appearance. It is one of the essential applications of my millions of years of spiritual power! It can perfectly simulate and change your aura, soul power fluctuations, and even life imprint at the most fundamental level."

"Simply put, as long as you don't expose yourself, once you activate this soul skill, even if you stand in front of a Title Douluo, he will absolutely not be able to detect your soul beast transformation identity! It is the most fundamental guarantee for infiltration, retreat, or simply wanting to live peacefully in human territory."

Chapter 222 Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda

"The fourth one, the protection of the Ice Silkworm." A layer of shimmering white cold air emanated from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"This is a defensive soul skill. Although it is slightly weaker against pure physical heavy blows, it has extremely strong resistance to energy attacks, especially elemental damage such as fire and lightning. Moreover, its greatest value lies in its ability to effectively resist mental attacks and soul impacts, which can be considered as adding a solid barrier to your mental world."

As Xiao Wu listened to the introduction of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, her eyes gradually brightened.

Although none of these four soul skills are direct attacks, they are extremely practical for detection, impact, disguise, and defense, and can be called divine skills!

Especially in the perilous Soul Beast Forest or the human world, these abilities are often more effective at saving lives than simple offensive Soul Skills.

She looked at the rambling, seemingly unreliable ice silkworm in front of her, her feelings extremely complicated.

Are you angry?

Of course there was. This guy almost burst her, and he forcibly bound her to him.

Are you glad?

Yes, this unexpected encounter did indeed give her unprecedented resources and potential.

Feeling lost?

More. The future path, it seems, has taken a completely unknown turn due to the intervention of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Soul beasts sacrifice themselves to other soul beasts...

She looked down at the platinum-gold spirit ring on her body, feeling the immense potential within her spiritual sea and the throbbing of her second blank martial spirit.

In the end, all the emotions turned into a soft sigh.

Since things have come to this point, we can only accept this reality.

……

Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the red and blue spring waters still flow distinctly, and the misty fog gives the valley a dreamlike quality.

Ning Rongrong sat on the edge of the warm jade platform, her legs swinging habitually as she watched Ge Duo walk out of the crystal house, holding a small jade bottle in her hand.

“Aunt Ge Duo?” Ning Rongrong tilted her head, her face showing natural familiarity.

Ge Duo walked up to her, handed her the jade bottle, her face expressionless, and her tone as calm as if she were saying that the weather was nice today: "Drink this."

Ning Rongrong took it, its skin smooth and warm to the touch. She didn't even ask what was inside or why, she simply obediently replied, "Oh."

Upon uncorking the bottle, a unique and rich aroma instantly filled the air. It wasn't overpowering, but it invigorated the spirit, as if every cell in the body was yearning for it. Without any hesitation, Ning Rongrong tilted her head back and drank the liquid inside, which shimmered with a faint golden-purple glow, in one gulp.

The potion entered her throat, transforming into a gentle yet powerful current of heat that quickly flowed to her limbs and bones. Ning Rongrong comfortably squinted her eyes, feeling as if she were soaking in a warm spring, her whole body feeling warm and cozy.

But the next moment, the heat suddenly became scorching hot, as if it had found a target, and frantically converged towards the source of her martial soul in her lower abdomen dantian!

"Hmm..." Ning Rongrong let out a suppressed groan, her body trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She could feel her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul vibrating violently, as if something was about to break open from the inside.

Gedo stood to the side, her eerie green eyes watching quietly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking her staff.

The main ingredient of this potion is a magical herb called Qiluo Tulip, which comes from the eye of ice and fire.

Of course, not the whole plant, but only a small portion of the original leaf veins that she carefully cut off.

It's enough to trigger a transformation, but not enough to reach the true pinnacle.

She needed to show Ning Fengzhi the progress, but she couldn't show him everything at once.

Only by providing a steady stream of resources can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this fat sheep, continuously supply the resources it needs.

The Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda was positioned perfectly, giving Ning Fengzhi immense hope, yet ultimately failing to truly satisfy him.

The fluctuations of soul power emanating from Ning Rongrong's body began to intensify, and halos of light rippled out from her body.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly with pain, but there was no resistance on her face, only complete trust.

That is the most solid shackle under the subtle influence of the power of the contract.

Finally, as if some barrier had been broken, Ning Rongrong shone brightly!

A crystal-clear pagoda phantom emerged from behind her. The original seven-layer structure was now forcibly condensed into the blurry outline of an eighth layer on the dazzling seven-colored radiance!

Although the eighth layer is still very illusory and not as solid as the seven layers below, it does indeed exist!

At the same time, Ning Rongrong's soul power surged upwards, breaking through from level 24 to level 27.

Breaking through three levels in a row.

The light slowly faded, and Ning Rongrong, panting heavily, opened her eyes.

She immediately sensed the changes within herself; the increase in her soul power was crystal clear, and she subconsciously summoned her martial soul.

An eight-story glazed pagoda floated in her palm, slowly rotating and radiating a more dazzling brilliance than ever before.

“This…this is…” Ning Rongrong looked at the extra layer, her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with unbelievable surprise.

"Eight levels? My martial soul has transformed into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Ge Duo spoke softly, her tone carrying just the right amount of weariness: "Hmm. It seems the direction of the potion is correct. Your martial spirit essence has received some benefits and has evolved."

She paused, then looked at Ning Rongrong: "How are you feeling?"

"It feels so good! My soul power has increased a lot!" Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly, holding the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hands, unable to put it down.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Geduo! You're amazing!"

Seeing her unreserved joy and adoration, a faint hint of mockery flashed deep in Geduo's eyes. So easily fooled.
