Chapter 8, First Soul Ring (End)
Li Luochen summoned the Dragon Pattern Staff and slammed it down on the protrusion on Feng Qing's head.
Feng Qinglong breathed his last, and a bright yellow spirit ring appeared on his corpse.
Using the spirit ring attraction technique taught to him by his grandfather, Li Luochen attracted the spirit ring to himself, sat cross-legged on the spot, and absorbed the spirit ring.
He felt an unprecedented pressure, and even his bones made slight cracking sounds under this pressure.
Li Luochen felt as if his entire body was being invaded by magma, a surge of scorching energy rushing in, a violent heat instantly engulfing his body, causing his internal organs to feel as if they were burning. His body trembled violently.
Li Luochen began to circulate the Zhou Tian Wuji Gong, and the heat flow instantly spread to every part of his body. Li Luochen felt as if he could breathe fire if he opened his mouth.
Such domineering power.
The surging power of the spirit ring instantly cleansed Li Luochen's body. He was somewhat relieved that he hadn't blindly absorbed a spirit ring of a higher level; the energy of a dragon-type spirit beast was already enormous, and absorbing one of a higher level would definitely have caused him to burst.
I really don't know how other transmigrators managed to have their first soul ring last for a thousand years. I really can't do it. Although it wasn't too terrible and my body swelled up, it was still very uncomfortable.
The dragon-patterned staff in Li Luochen's hand began to change. A wisp of blue vein appeared in the dragon pattern on the staff, inlaid within the dragon pattern.
The circulation speed of the Zhou Tian Wu Ji Gong within his body increased, and his soul power gradually entered his dantian. His soul power, which was originally stuck at the tenth level bottleneck, broke through and surged upwards. Li Luochen felt a sense of joy throughout his body.
The exhilarating feeling after absorbing a spirit ring is indescribable; it's like floating on clouds, feeling weightless, or like reaching the pinnacle of bliss.
Every pore on his body was open, greedily breathing in the wonderful air. The qualitative change was causing strange changes in Li Luochen's body.
Li Luochen had grown a few centimeters taller, his physique had become more robust, making his clothes seem a bit tight, his skin had become more radiant, and a strand of blue hair had appeared in his hair that was draped over his shoulders.
When Li Luochen opened his eyes, it was already dark. Zhao Wuji was warming himself by the fire, while Lu Qibin and Li Yusong were watching over him and protecting him.
"Hey, Xiao Chen's awake! Old Zhao, come quick! Xiao Chen's awake! How are you feeling, Xiao Chen?"
Li Yusong suddenly woke up and shouted, startling Zhao Wuji, who was warming himself by the fire, and he quickly ran over.
"I'm sorry to have worried Grandpa. Is this what it feels like to absorb a spirit ring? I feel great, I'm in excellent condition."
Lu Qibin took out a crystal ball from his storage soul tool and handed it to Li Luochen.
"Xiao Chen, let's test your soul power. The limit of this crystal is level 30."
Li Luochen also wanted to know his current level, as only by reaching the Great Soul Master realm could he clearly know his level.
Li Luochen placed his hand on the crystal ball, and the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light.
"Level 12 peak, almost level 13, haha, Xiao Chen, tell us about your soul skills!"
Li Yusong looked at the crystal's brilliance with excitement, after all, his first spirit ring was only ten years old.
"My first soul skill is called Divine Speed," instantly increasing my speed by 100% and my strength by 50%. With each level increase, the amplification effect of Divine Speed increases by 1%, and the next attack after using Divine Speed will be enhanced.
"First Soul Skill, Divine Speed"
Li Luochen used his first soul skill, slamming it quickly into the ground, causing the earth to crack.
"Oh my, that attack weighed at least a thousand pounds! This first soul skill is really powerful."
Watching Li Luochen's attack, Lu Qibin stroked his goatee and sighed, "This is the kind of little monster we should be raising." Li Luochen had something else to say: his Dragon Pattern Staff had already weighed fifty kilograms, twice its original weight. With the increase in his soul power and the addition of soul rings, the Dragon Pattern Staff would become even heavier.
"Now that Xiao Chen has obtained his spirit ring, let's head back to the academy."
The group left the Soul Hunter Forest and returned to Shrek Academy, a trip that took several days.
"Home is still the most comfortable place."
Li Luochen lay on the bed, intending to get a good night's sleep and recharge before continuing his cultivation. Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest; relentless, intense practice can easily lead to demonic possession. As a transmigrator, Li Luochen's main focus was on maintaining a good mindset.
I slept until I naturally woke up, so comfortable! When I came back, Li Yusong had already taken Li Luochen to the Spirit Hall in Soto City to register. A Spirit Master can receive one Gold Spirit Coin per month, a Great Spirit Master can receive ten per month, and a Spirit Venerable can receive one hundred per month.
To be honest, the benefits offered by the Spirit Hall are quite good, and it's really friendly to ordinary Soul Masters. That's why it's called the Holy Land of Soul Masters.
However, it will be ruined by a crazy woman. I wonder if, after the Spirit Hall is gone, there will still be an organization that unconditionally awakens spirits for ordinary people. In Li Luochen's opinion, it's completely impossible!
Li Luochen played with the shiny gold soul coin in his hand. It was so beautiful!
Li Luochen had slept enough and was hungry. He was going to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Food is essential for life; you'll get hungry if you don't eat!
"Go go go! We're all hard-working people, hard-working people are the best!"
As Li Luochen walked and sang, when he reached the vicinity of the cafeteria, he found that all the teachers of Shrek Academy were gathered together, their eyes serious, wondering what had happened.
"Grandpa, Dean, uncles, what are you all looking at? Why do you all look so pale?"
Li Luochen looked at the group of Shrek Academy teachers with a serious expression. Flander handed Li Luochen something that looked like a newspaper.
Li Luochen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the contents of the newspaper.
Several months ago, Tang Hao, one of the Haotian Twin Stars, broke through to the Title Douluo level and was given the title Haotian. He then fought a great battle against three Title Douluos, led by the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
In the end, one Title Douluo died and another was injured, while the Pope was seriously wounded.
This month, Pope Qian Xunji died suddenly from his injuries, and the Spirit Hall issued an arrest warrant for Tang Hao. Furthermore, they suppressed the Clear Sky Sect, which announced its closure and cessation of all appearances in the spirit master world.
Furthermore, it abandoned the four subordinate single-attribute families.
"Hiss—" Li Luochen gasped, realizing the plot had already begun. This meant he was six years older than Tang San. There were still twelve years until Tang San arrived at Shrek Academy.
Without any special opportunities, he should be able to reach the advanced Soul Master level or the initial Soul King level by the age of eighteen through diligent cultivation.
However, Tang San made great strides after leading Shrek Academy to victory, reaching godhood at the age of twenty-five, even though the God of Asura and the God of the Sea kept giving him extra help.
However, he does indeed possess sufficient talent, with two top-tier martial souls, the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, a unique skill from his previous life. No matter how you look at it, his configuration is superior to Li Luochen's.
This competition is going to be tough. Although Li Luochen is confident he can become a Title Douluo, he'll probably be in his forties or fifties by then. After all, the cultivation speed of a Soul Master decreases as they progress.
The plot has already unfolded, but Li Luochen is not too worried. He has no grudge against Tang San, although he looks down on Tang San's extreme personality and unseemly eating habits.
Anyway, the mainland is going to be in chaos. After the war between the Spirit Empire and the Martial Soul Empire, he can just run far away, wait until everything is over, cultivate to become a Title Douluo, get married, and live out his lifespan for several hundred years.
