Chapter 28: Nothing is Impossible
"Did you feel it?" Falling Devil elbowed Fifteen Ton Douluo.
"Hiss! What are you doing!"
Caught off guard, Fifteen Ton felt a numbing jolt from the elbow!
He glared at Falling Devil. If it weren't for the urgent situation, he'd show him who's boss!
Falling Devil ignored Fifteen Ton's angry stare and pointed at the door ahead.
"It smells like a 3,000-year Spirit ring, but I'm not sure of the exact years. Are you certain Miss is absorbing a Spirit ring inside?"
Fifteen Ton rubbed the spot where he'd been elbowed and shot Falling Devil a fierce look.
"Who else could it be but Miss? With such a strong angelic aura, go find me another one in Heaven Dou City!"
"And do you think someone could sneak into Miss's room right under our noses? A weak Spirit Master absorbing a thousand-year Spirit ring?"
"No! Something feels off. This is Miss's first Spirit ring, right? Three thousand years for the first ring?"
Falling Devil scratched his head. Normally composed, he now wanted to barge in and check for himself!
The first Spirit ring at three thousand years? Is that even human?
"Why, you doubt Miss can handle it?" Fifteen Ton Douluo sneered.
"Huh?"
Falling Devil froze, eyes narrowing as he leaned forward slightly, as if he'd heard something outrageous.
"Doubt? You're not doubting? The first Spirit ring at three thousand years! Three thousand!"
His eyes brimmed with shock and confusion. "Since the dawn of Spirit Masters, according to Spirit Hall records, the highest first Spirit ring was only five hundred years when breaking through to Spirit Master!"
"Three thousand years, and maybe more! Qianjun, are you out of your mind?"
Falling Devil was thrown off by Fifteen Ton's confidence. "No, brother! What makes you so sure Miss can handle a three-thousand-year Spirit ring?"
Is your brain broken?
"Haha!" Fifteen Ton laughed mockingly at Falling Devil, then spoke with unwavering confidence:
"Have you forgotten who Miss is? The future Angel God!"
"Mortals can't do it! Can't the Angel God? Don't forget how you got your own Spirit rings!"
"But Miss hasn't started the Divine Test yet!"
Falling Devil's skepticism lingered as he eyed Fifteen Ton's smug grin.
"Heh! You're forgetting something. Six years ago, the Angel God already took notice of Miss! Does the Divine Test even matter to her?"
"Don't forget, Miss has a stash of God-given Spirit rings! Those are rare treasures, and we've only used two between us!"
Fifteen Ton's pride was palpable, his gaze dripping with condescension.
No way! You can't figure out something this simple? It's elementary!
Plus, as a level 96 Titled Douluo, you actually doubt it's Miss Qian Renxue inside?
Tch!
Brain!
He's usually so serious and steady, but now it's clear his brain's not up to par!
"…"
Seeing Fifteen Ton's contemptuous look, Falling Devil's fists clenched involuntarily!
It's just a small thing, and you're looking down on me? Damn it!
But after Fifteen Ton's explanation, Falling Devil began to accept that Qian Renxue could absorb a 3,000-year Spirit ring.
True, if she can mass-produce God-given Spirit rings, what can't she do?
Still, his heart buzzed with shock!
Three thousand! The first Spirit ring at least three thousand years!
After six years of stagnation, she's making such a leap right out the gate?
Fifteen Ton, standing nearby, shook his head as Falling Devil calmed down.
Still needs practice!
Three thousand!
How did she do it? Fifteen Ton muttered to himself.
…
…
In the room.
After absorbing her first Spirit ring, Qian Renxue rested briefly. As she took out the second God-given Spirit ring, she heard a faint noise outside.
Setting the ring aside, she called out:
"Uncle Fifteen Ton, Uncle Falling Devil, are you outside?"
"Yes! We're here! Miss, focus on absorbing the Spirit ring! Notify us when you're done!"
Fifteen Ton's voice came through promptly.
Qian Renxue's soul power was at level 20, and absorbing one God-given Spirit ring wouldn't suffice.
Until she absorbed both Spirit rings, Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil would keep their doubts buried.
"Thank you, uncles!"
Qian Renxue exhaled in relief. The First Prince's Mansion was safe, but having two level 96 Titled Douluo guarding her was even safer, right?
Soon, the second Spirit ring in her hand dissipated, fully absorbed into her body!
This absorption was much faster than the first!
Five hundred years!
Nine hundred years!
One thousand years!
One thousand five hundred years!
Two thousand years!
…
Five thousand five hundred years!
Six thousand years!
With the experience of the first Spirit ring and the aid of the medicinal power in her body, the God-given Spirit ring surged from ten years to a thousand in the blink of an eye!
In just half a minute, it soared to six thousand years!
There was no lag whatsoever!
Only at seven thousand years did the growth rate slow.
Yet, Qian Renxue's face showed none of the pain from her first absorption.
Nourished by the medicine, the seven-thousand-year Spirit ring grew steadily.
After about an hour, a purple light flashed above the ring again!
Eight thousand years!
Simultaneously, her soul power surged rapidly!
Level twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three... twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty!
No bottlenecks, breaking straight through to level 30!
Just one Spirit ring shy of becoming a Soul Elder!
In Dou Qi Continent terms, she was in the Half-Step Soul Elder Realm!
Qian Renxue opened her eyes, gazing at the purple-black Spirit ring with a complex expression.
This absorption... was so smooth!
Too smooth!
The three-thousand-year first Spirit ring had her gritting her teeth in agony!
But the eight-thousand-year second Spirit ring? No pain at all...
So strange...
"Teacher, I thought you'd lower the age of my second Spirit ring."
"No way! Your third Spirit ring is aiming for ten thousand years. To reduce your suffering, the second ring had to be higher!"
Su Yu, observing her body's condition, frowned.
"Go, tell Falling Devil and Fifteen Ton to find these herbs within an hour!"
"Then, for this hour, rest and adjust your condition. After, soak in the medicinal bath to absorb the third Spirit ring!"
During his month in the Spirit Hall, Su Yu had memorized the pharmacology and properties of most Douluo Continent herbs with his Dou Di-level soul's super memory.
As a half-step imperial alchemist, he could wield these herbs effortlessly!
A random recipe in his mind could produce a divine pill that would drive the entire Douluo Continent wild!
