Chapter 155: Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring
Is there any need to say more about Ning Feiliu's current strength?
Having witnessed Ning Feiliu's self-created spirit skill, Summoning of the Ice and Snow God, just now, he felt that even if he were to face Ning Feiliu, he would have absolutely no certainty of victory.
After all, Ning Feiliu had fought three consecutive rounds when facing Ling Yue; even if defeating Kailasi, Lian Ling, and Zuo Chi had been easy, there was absolutely no way he had no consumption at all.
Therefore, he was not at full state when he defeated Ling Yue just now.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team had basically each increased their soul power by one level after going out for training this time.
Carlisle's current soul power level was only one level higher than Ling Yue's.
After all, for a Spirit Master with thirty-nine levels of soul power, seemingly breaking through one level is actually a direct increase of two levels of soul power.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan might object, but Ning Feiliu believed that he would eventually be able to persuade them.
Especially since this edition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament would have no Tang San, no Shrek Seven Devils, and presumably no Golden Generation.
Moreover, the higher the age and the better the bloodline of the Soul Beast, the higher the probability of it dropping a soul bone.
After all, Ning Feiliu had already absorbed four Thousand-Year Spirit Rings in total, and especially after recently absorbing an eight-thousand-year ring, his body had been strengthened quite a bit.
Not only could he enjoy wealth and status, but he might also be able to win the hearts of handsome men and beautiful women.
The Spirit Hall's act of generously bringing out soul bones in the original plot was clearly something that many people found unbelievable at the time.
Secondly, he practiced using the Moonlight Breathing Method, which itself had the effect of enhancing spirit power; after nearly a year of practice, his spirit power had increased significantly again.
And because of their martial souls, the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were all decked out in jewels and finery, and were basically all handsome men and beautiful women.
Finally, there was... Ning Feiliu's Spirit Condensation Technique, which he had obtained from the previous Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method!
Facing the spirit shock of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, he could directly use his powerful spirit power to condense a great hammer, capable of smashing the opponent until their soul scattered!
Therefore, in this situation, Ning Feiliu had absolutely no need to worry about any problems with absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his third spirit ring.
This was a point that the other two of the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, could not compare to at all; the Clear Sky Sect, like Tang San in the original plot, was a typical example—without the Blue Silver Emperor awakening, he would just be a background character.
And this time, when re-absorbing his third spirit ring, would he be satisfied with absorbing another eight-thousand or nine-thousand-year ring?
No!
A trace of ambition appeared in the depths of Ning Feiliu's eyes; he now wanted to... absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring in advance!
Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his third spirit ring...
However, he had gained a lot from today's battle; first of all, since he could defeat an "elite" Soul Ancestor like Ling Yue, he had no reason to hesitate about challenging those of higher levels now.
Ning Feiliu said directly, "The three committee members of your academy have also invited me in front of my teacher; I have no interest in participating in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
It's just that...
Ning Feiliu did not need to think too much; in his view, there was no need to participate in this edition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Secondly, there was the spirit shock from a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast before it died, which Xiao Wu had mentioned in the original plot when Tang San decided to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his fourth spirit ring.
At this moment, he walked out of the aisle and returned to the Great Spirit Arena, where his elder brother Ning Mingrui had also come down and reunited with him.
But in this edition, it was impossible for the Spirit Hall to bring out soul bones.
After all, Dugu Yan had already come over and replaced Lian Ling, so if Ning Feiliu were to be added as a reinforcement and replace either Zuo Chi or Kailasi, it would be a huge boost for the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team!
And anyway, it was impossible for them to replace him.
It was just unexpected that it ended up being a wasted effort for Tang San.
"Yes, Mr. Yafei." The staff of the Great Spirit Arena were already bowing down in admiration of Ning Feiliu.
As for the result of him facing Ning Feiliu, it went without saying; he could only end up defeated.
But it has to be stacked; having only ten stacks certainly doesn't provide as much immediate combat power as finishing a full item.
He still had opportunities to continue completing the Jax series of tasks and the hundred-win streak for Presence of Mind.
Therefore, killing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast to drop a soul bone was a method that could only be used by Peak Douluo from top-tier forces with prominent backgrounds.
Even the principles of self-created spirit skills were the same.
Ning Feiliu, Ning Mingrui, and Ye Lingling left the place just like that.
Like Huo Yuhao's thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw External Soul Bone, he had encountered a top-tier Soul Beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which directly and reliably dropped a piece of Dark Gold Terrorclaw External Soul Bone for him.
So it was clear that the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament could not possibly offer soul bones as a prize every single time.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not only wealthy and powerful, providing good cultivation resources and benefits, but everyone knew that even as an outer disciple, one would definitely not lose out.
He scratched his head, but he suddenly felt that this matter might need to be reported to the Sect Master.
But his current physical fitness could definitely withstand the energy impact of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
To outsiders, this probably made him seem crazy.
As for the probability of thousand-year or hundred-year Soul Beasts dropping soul bones, it was almost not just one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, but one in a million or one in ten million.
Then why resist it?
Therefore, Carlisle issued an invitation to Ning Feiliu right then and there.
It was precisely because of this that the Sword Douluo felt the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should not miss out on a genius Spirit Master like "Yafei".
Going to such great lengths for only a 10% drop rate was enough to prove how low the normal production rate of soul bones was.
Carlisle was also thoroughly convinced by Ning Feiliu's strength, which was why he intended to invite Ning Feiliu to join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and their Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team.
Ning Feiliu was now thirty!
With the basic theory and reasons already thought out, he wanted to go find Dugu Bo and tell his cheap teacher about this bold idea of his.
It was like the Mejai's Soulstealer in a game; it was cheap, and once stacked, it was indeed comparable to a normal finished item, and its attribute bonuses were even higher than a finished item.
Presumably, for this period of time, the name "Yafei" would once again become a hot topic of conversation in Heaven Dou City.
"Let's go." Ning Feiliu still forcibly used his strong and tenacious will to resist the dual weakness effect of soul power consumption and Exploding Ring, and said to Ning Mingrui and Ye Lingling.
In his view, only victory and honor were the most important things.
And the young man watched the backs of the three as they left, feeling a bit curious, "Isn't that the famous Yafei? Why is he walking with Young Master Mingrui? Could they be friends?"
After all, it didn't take up his six soul bone slots, and an External Soul Bone could evolve along with the Spirit Master; Tang San's Eight Spider Lances had evolved all the way to the level of a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, so of course, he would welcome it.
"What a pity... for such a genius Spirit Master to be discovered by Dugu Bo first. If we had discovered him a step earlier and taken him under our wing, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have nothing to worry about in the future," the Sword Douluo also said with some regret.
Firstly, he had lived two lives; the mental power of an adult from his previous life combined with the shattered soul of the original owner in this world, the two actually fused together with Ning Feiliu's soul as the main body.
Ning Feiliu's cross-level battle just now had once again refreshed everyone's perception of him.
Therefore, it basically eliminates the possibility of low-level Spirit Masters obtaining soul bones, and the probability of high-level Spirit Masters hunting Soul Beasts to obtain soul bones is not much higher.
Because the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all Auxiliary System Spirit Masters, it is impossible for them to digest internally; they must be paired with a Battle Soul Master as a partner.
However.
Even if there were any, they would only be the Golden Generation at the Soul Ancestor level.
And from this, one can see that the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect may not necessarily produce high-looking individuals stably, but as for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
And again, even if those three soul bones from the original plot were brought out, Ning Feiliu might not necessarily take a fancy to them; the best one, the Ten Thousand Year Wisdom Skull, could be said to be enough if one were slightly content.
Then the next step is naturally to find a way to deal with lower-level Soul Beasts, and basically, only Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts have a high probability of dropping soul bones.
Ning Feiliu also left the Douhun Platform directly with Ye Lingling.
Special circumstances naturally refer to Soul Beasts like the Tianmeng Iceworm and Bi Ji, which have no combat power even at the million-year level.
He could not make the decision to give the treatment that the three committee members could offer, nor could he offer Ning Feiliu better conditions than that, so what else could he say.
His soul power was exhausted, and coupled with the weakening effect after using the summoning and Exploding Ring of the God of Ice and Snow, it was impossible for him to continue fighting.
"That old poison-thing really picked up a treasure," the Bone Douluo also clicked his tongue in wonder and said.
Moreover, Tang Hao himself wasn't exactly handsome; he was able to win the beauty's heart mainly because of his strength and A Yin's infatuation with his "masculinity."
The key is that according to the description, Ning Feiliu had gone through three Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team Spirit Fighting Battles against opponents of the same level before fighting Ling Yue.
Or if Ning Feiliu didn't have a cheat, he would really be envious.
Carlisle, hearing what he said about the three committee members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy having invited him to join the academy to no avail, was naturally speechless.
But if "Yafei" could use this principle to perform a second Self-Created Spirit Skill that was the exact opposite of the summoning of the God of Smelting, then it would further prove how terrifying "Yafei's" comprehension was.
Yet this could not in the slightest cast doubt on "Yafei's" talent.
Ning Feiliu, Ning Mingrui, and Ye Lingling had just walked out of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena when a young man walked up from a side they hadn't noticed.
"Forget it."
But no matter how you put it, it was a precious soul bone second only to a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, and the Spirit Hall could never bring it out.
But how fierce a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast is—a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast seemingly benchmarks against a Title Douluo among humans.
Secondly... he had now exploded his own Third Soul Ring.
But he suddenly saw Ning Feiliu wearing a mask, his pupils shrank, and he immediately held back his voice.
Of course, there are also ways like San Ge and Shrek Academy in the Peerless Tang Sect, using some efficient but very cruel methods, to also have a higher probability of obtaining soul bones.
He seemed to recognize Ning Mingrui, and as soon as he saw Ning Mingrui, he wanted to greet him.
Therefore, Ling Yue's defeat was not a lucky win by Ning Feiliu, but an undoubted complete victory!
In fact, the original plot once said that among Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, even the weakest one, unless there are special circumstances, would at least possess the strength of a Ninety-Fifth Level Title Douluo.
And after Ning Feiliu crossed a major level to defeat the Soul Ancestor-level Ling Yue with his Soul Elder cultivation.
As for the rest, even if they were his teammates who had been with him for a long time, he could accept replacing them.
Sure enough, the entire Heaven Dou City was in an uproar.
So those grassroots genius Spirit Masters outside, joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is equivalent to solving the problems of money, status, and partner allocation all at once, so who wouldn't like to join?
And presumably, absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring earlier would definitely bring him no small increase in soul power.
The Spirit Hall bringing out three soul bones in the original plot was purely because of the three connections Hu Liena had.
Ning Feiliu naturally took that into account as well.
Even Tang San in the original plot took the risk of absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring when absorbing his Fourth Soul Ring.
So Ning Feiliu's spirit was far stronger than the average person's after transmigrating.
Which is to say, to normally kill a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, you must at least have a cultivation of Ninety-Fifth Level or above.
"Help me settle today's battle record," Ning Feiliu said in a low voice.
"Young Master Ming Rui..."
But now that he has a cheat, in the late stages, relying on his foresight of the plot to find those few Beasts and obtain Ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, wouldn't that be better?
So Ning Feiliu's attitude toward soul bones is that he would rather have none than settle for less, unless it is an External Spirit Bone.
They are handsome men and beautiful women the moment they appear.
But even like a Secret Method Soul Bone, where one has to kill 100 identical Soul Beasts in half an hour and then use a secret method, there is only a 10% chance of obtaining one Secret Method Soul Bone.
Because after absorbing a soul ring, one's soul power will directly increase by one level.
And the rewards for this Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will not be rewards like soul bones that can significantly improve a Spirit Master's strength.
The method of hunting Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts to obtain soul bones does not work.
Naturally, soul bones are quite precious.
The most critical thing is that Ning Feiliu... used a brand-new Self-Created Spirit Skill!
The reason it is second only to a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone is that an External Spirit Bone can evolve, but it still takes time; a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone can directly provide powerful immediate combat power and bring a significant increase in combat strength.
In fact, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been very proactive in recruiting genius Spirit Masters from the outside.
Yu Tianheng actually looked like a passerby the first time he appeared in the original plot; Yu Xiaogang might have looked quite good when he was young.
This thing doesn't even exist on many Soul Saints, so you can tell how precious soul bones are.
The last time his Second Soul Ring was exploded, he re-absorbed an eight-thousand-year soul ring.
But everyone knows that an External Spirit Bone is a good treasure, the most precious soul bone second only to a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.
So Carlisle is actually similar in strength to Ling Yue, and Ling Yue was directly defeated by Ning Feiliu when he wasn't at full capacity.
Then the three of them left the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
The area around the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was already packed with people, with many spectators coming to watch every day.
After all, the production of a soul bone itself is a low-probability event; generally, the only ones that can stably drop soul bones are Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts.
"Summoning of the... Ice and Snow God." Ning Fengzhi, having heard the description of the Spirit Fighting Battle from the sect Elder who happened to be present that day, could not help but sigh with emotion once more, "It looks like a brand new Self-Created Spirit Skill created based on the Summoning of the God of Smelting, except one is extreme fire, and the other is extreme ice..."
Therefore, his voice, amidst the noisy sounds of the crowd and given that he did not shout very loudly, did not attract the attention of Ning Feiliu, Ning Mingrui, and Ye Lingling.
On the contrary, Dugu Bo has appeared quite reclusive for so many years; before "Yafei," he had never taken on an apprentice, nor was he interested in doing so. Yet, the first and only student he did take turned out to be an instant SSR pull.
This is simply unreasonable!
