Chapter 5: System Save Me!
With anticipation he dared not believe, Zhou Chen opened his attribute light screen:
[Name: Zhou Chen
Class: Plane Transmigrator
Race: Human Race
Feature: Handsome
Martial Soul: Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan
Strength: Qi Refining Stage Great Circle (Rank 30 Soul Power)
Cultivation Method: Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon]
"It really is Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!!"
Having obtained confirmation from the personal attribute panel, Zhou Chen could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart, feeling hot blood rushing to his head!
With such a supreme Martial Soul assisting, who in this Douluo Continent can stop his pace?
Who else?
After a good while, Zhou Chen managed to calm down barely. Then his gaze swept over the attribute light screen again, and he immediately discovered another earth-shattering change:
"This is... rank 30 soul power?"
Although Zhou Chen knew his innate rank was definitely very high, far exceeding rank 10, he did not expect he actually had rank 30 soul power!
One must know, even the legendary God-Bestowed Martial Souls, the Seraphim and Sea God Martial Souls directly inherited from the First-Class Gods of the God Realm, the Angel God and Sea God, their innate soul power was only rank 20!
Yet his own Martial Soul, its innate soul power was unexpectedly ten ranks higher than God-Bestowed Martial Souls!
Just as Zhou Chen was immersed in the power of his innate soul power, the system suddenly spoke:
"Ding... Host's Martial Soul has thoroughly awakened. In view of the cooperative relationship between both parties, this system has decided to match the first soul ring for the Host for free!"
"What?"
Hearing these words, Zhou Chen was somewhat confused. On the Douluo Continent, soul rings seem to require personal hunting of soul beasts to obtain. What does matching mean?
Why don't you do ranked matchmaking?
Crack!
Before Zhou Chen could finish complaining, above the sky, a huge bolt of golden lightning struck down at him with lightning speed, turning him into a shining humanoid figure of light.
"Ding... Starting to match soul ring, energy gathering..."
Accompanied by the system's voice, the next instant, a white light ring began to slowly emerge from the soles of his feet!
"This is... a soul ring?"
Watching the white light ring constantly moving up and down around him, Zhou Chen guessed.
On the Douluo Continent, soul ring grades are divided by color. White, yellow, purple, black, red, corresponding to ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year soul rings respectively.
If this light circle surrounding his body is a soul ring, then white... is clearly the lowest level ten-year soul ring!
System, at any rate, I am a paying player. If you do not match a soul ring for me, fine, but matching me with a ten-year soul ring, is that insulting the power of topping up?
As if hearing Zhou Chen's heartfelt voice, the next second, the white soul ring first turned yellow, then from yellow to purple, from purple to black, from black to red... until it became a pure and dazzling brilliant gold!
"Red is a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Gold... seems to be a God-level soul ring?"
Relying on the powerful mental fortitude of a transmigrator, Zhou Chen held back the excitement in his heart and thought calmly. In his impression, only through the direct inheritance of a God, or by hunting a million-year soul beast, could one obtain a God-level soul ring!
For example, the protagonist Huo Yuhao in the Douluo sequel Peerless Tang Sect. That kid had his protagonist halo erupt and obtained the favor of the million-year soul beast, the Skydream Iceworm. His first soul ring was a God-level soul ring!
It is indeed worthy of being the Top-Up System. Unexpectedly, it could even get this kind of soul ring that is essential for protagonists!
Dog system, I will never dare to scold you again.
"Ding... Soul ring matching successful."
"Ding... Danger! Danger! Host, please concentrate and calm your breath to resist the soul power shock!"
"Shock?"
Zhou Chen was confused at first, then his expression froze, and his face changed drastically!
Soul rings, as rule-based creations unique to the Douluo Plane, contained soul power. Moreover, the higher the age of the soul ring, the more soul power it contained!
Therefore, when Soul Masters absorb soul rings, they can often increase their soul power rank. For example, Tang San, in the original plot, when he obtained his first soul ring, because the soul ring's age was close to the limit of 432 years, his soul power jumped from rank 10 to rank 13.
But things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. If the age of the absorbed soul ring is too high, one will explode and die due to too much soul power! According to the theory proposed by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang in the original plot, Soul Masters under rank 30 can at most absorb a purple soul ring not exceeding 1700 years!
However, the current Zhou Chen was absorbing a million-year God-level soul ring! Even a Titled Douluo, if they rashly absorbed a God-level soul ring, would only have a dead end!
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's face instantly turned pale.
Boom!
Accompanied by the surging sound in his body, the massive amount of soul power surging from the soul ring instantly filled Zhou Chen's body. It was as if in the next second, he would explode and die!
"System save me!"
The terrified Zhou Chen instantly dropped all his integrity and asked the system for help.
"Ding... Host, be patient. This system is guiding the excess soul power to release it outside the Host's body in an orderly manner!"
Before the voice faded, Zhou Chen only felt the endless energy in his body being forcibly guided by the system. From the top of his head, a beam of rich light suddenly shot out!
This light gathered the soul power of a million years from the God-level soul ring. Its power was so strong that it unexpectedly pushed the previous golden pillar of light back into the sky. Then it broke through the cloud layer and spread out, dyeing the sky within a radius of ten thousand miles completely gold!
Such a phenomenon was clearly visible to almost half of the Douluo Continent!!
