Chapter 28: Qian Daoliu's Misunderstanding
April 4, 2023 Author: Fu Hejun
Ye Cheng walked up to Zhu Zhuqing, raised his hand, and summoned two Soul Bones before her, gesturing for her to take them.
"Teacher, what are these?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two extremely high-quality Soul Bones floating before her, but did not reach out to take them. She simply looked at him doubtfully.
"They're for you. Put them away," Ye Cheng said.
"These are too precious. I can't accept them." Zhu Zhuqing was startled and repeatedly refused. Soul Bones are, after all, treasures Soul Masters eagerly seek.
Even an ordinary Soul Bone is enough to cause a bloodbath in the Soul Master world.
Moreover, given the extremely high quality of these two Soul Bones, how could she possibly be worthy of owning them?
[Wow, such good Soul Bones, just given away like that!]
[This Teacher is too generous.]
[I truly envy having such a Teacher.]
[You're still refusing? If you don't want them, give them to me!]
A string of Bullet Comments flashed across the screen.
In reality, Zhu Zhuqing watched everything happening in the Video, and couldn't help but marvel at her future self's incredible luck, to be accepted as a Disciple by such a Strong Cultivator.
Those were Soul Bones that countless people dreamed of acquiring!
Such treasures were given away so casually.
Which Teacher in the World could be so generous?
On the other side, Tang Hao.
Seeing Ye Cheng use his two Soul Bones as payment for medicine in the Video, Tang Hao was so angry he nearly went berserk. Even though he knew these two Soul Bones were ostensibly for medicine, but in truth, payment to spare his life, he still felt his lungs were about to burst from rage.
After all, these two Soul Bones were the Inheritance Soul Bones of his Clear Sky Sect. How could they fall into someone else's hands?
But no matter how he raged in powerlessness, there was simply no way for him to rush into the Video and change anything.
In the end, Zhu Zhuqing in the Video still accepted the two Soul Bones.
After seeing her accept the Soul Bones, Ye Cheng nodded and said, "These two Soul Bones are only around seventy or eighty thousand years old. While their quality is good, it's merely that. This Teacher does not recommend you absorb them. You should keep the Soul Bones for now; whether you give them away or exchange them for other Treasures later, they're both good choices.
When you reach the Spirit King stage, this Teacher will give you a gift."
[A gift?]
[What kind of gift needs to wait until the Spirit King stage to be given?]
[Wait! Earlier he said that seventy or eighty thousand-year Soul Bones weren't very good, and now he's talking about giving a gift, could it be...]
[Could the gift he mentioned... be a Hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone?!]
[Wait! Considering this, he has a full ten Hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings from his two Martial Souls combined! Could it be that he...]
[100,000-year Soul Beasts are guaranteed to drop Soul Bones!]
[That means he has at least ten Hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones on him!]
[A single person can absorb a maximum of six Soul Bones, which means he'd have at least four 100,000-year Soul Bones left over! Possibly even more.]
[Oh my god! No wonder he looks down on Tang Hao's two Soul Bones. If I had so many 100,000-year Soul Bones, I wouldn't care for these two Soul Bones that are less than 100,000 years either.]
A string of Bullet Comments flashed across the screen, all expressing envy.
In reality, Tang Hao watched the information scrolling through the Bullet Comments, especially the words "100,000-year Soul Ring" and "Soul Bone"... He suddenly understood why his past self in the Video had no power to fight back against Ye Cheng, who hadn't even activated his Martial Soul, and was handled like a mere chick.
As someone who also possessed a 100,000-year Soul Ring, no one knew better than him how immense the enhancement a Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring brought to a Soul Master truly was.
A Soul Master possessing a 100,000-year Soul Ring would not only have Soul Power far exceeding others at the same level, but their physical attributes and the potency of all their Soul Skills would also be affected, making their effects even more powerful!
It could be said that the impact of a Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring on a Soul Master affects all aspects. Once a Soul Master is able to absorb a Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, the benefits it brings can be described as nothing short of Metamorphosis.
At the same level, once any Soul Master possesses a Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, frankly speaking, their advantages compared to others at the same level are simply overwhelming!
And this Ye Cheng in the Video actually possessed a full ten Hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings! Furthermore, he had at least six Hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones fused to his body, which would bring him enhancements to his physical attributes and various attribute boosts. He also had twelve Soul Bone Skills.
With all these advantages combined...
Tang Hao simply couldn't even imagine how powerful the boost this would bring to him. Facing an opponent with such an insanely luxurious configuration... coupled with the Soul Power level suppression and other influencing factors...
Tang Hao felt that his defeat was truly not unjust in the slightest.
Rather, it was perfectly normal.
...
The content of the Video came to an abrupt halt after Zhu Zhuqing accepted the Soul Bones.
Following that, the Live Stream Video slowly faded away and finally disappeared.
Although the Q&A had ended, the Future information revealed in this session was exceptionally abundant for certain individuals.
Wuhun City — Douluo Hall.
This was a palace that looked extremely solemn from the outside. Walking inside, one would find no extravagant decorations. The entire structure was built from ancient-looking rocks, but a closer look would reveal a faint golden light emanating from them. If one were to touch them, they could feel a strange energy flowing in their palms.
In the center of the Douluo Hall, a statue stood. It was a ten-meter-tall statue, entirely resplendent in gold. Three pairs of wings spread out from its back, and in its hands, it held a massive golden Sword pointed towards the firmament! Most peculiar was the faint ring of golden flames that seemed to spiral around the golden Sword.
This was the supreme hall of the Soul Master world. Nearly every Soul Master took pride in being able to enter the Douluo Hall! This was because it signified that they had reached the Titled Douluo level, and only upon receiving their Titled Douluo designation were they qualified to enter here.
At this moment, the Douluo Hall was quiet.
Only one person stood with their back to the large door, below the golden statue, gazing up at the majestic Angel God statue above.
This was an old man, tall in stature, wearing a simple grey robe. His long, grizzled hair fell loosely behind his head. Standing there, he seemed to be the very center of the entire grand hall.
This person was none other than the Spirit Hall's Grand Priest, and also one of the four Limit Douluo of the current era. He was the Inheritor of the Angel Martial Soul, the true controller of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu!
"This Ye Cheng definitely has a Divine Rank Inheritance!"
Qian Daoliu recalled the scenes displayed in the Video just now. From the numerous details, he clearly grasped the crucial information: this Ye Cheng was unusually strong, to an abnormal degree.
As a fellow Limit Douluo, Qian Daoliu made an estimation and realized that even he would likely only be defeated if he faced that Ye Cheng.
Because the opponent's Soul Ring configuration was simply inhuman!
Even if he possessed a Twin Martial Soul, his body simply wouldn't be able to withstand absorbing nine Hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings at once. The human body's capacity is ultimately limited; it's impossible to indefinitely attach Soul Rings. Unless some other power supported him in absorbing those Soul Rings.
And this power, Qian Daoliu pondered, could only be the divine power of a Deity. Otherwise, for a mortal's body to bear the power of ten Hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings—that would be utterly impossible!
Therefore, he concluded that Ye Cheng was definitely a Divine Rank Inheritor!
