Chapter 192: The Treatment of a Genius

"Therefore, Feiliu's next fourth Soul Ring can be a Soul Ring of ten thousand years or more." Dugu Bo immediately stated truthfully. He then looked at Ning Feiliu again and asked, "Feiliu, you have always had your own ideas. What kind of Soul Ring do you want to absorb for your fourth Soul Ring this time?"

"As for the quality of the Soul Beast, naturally, the better the quality, the more satisfied I am. As for the species... it would be best to be one of these types of Soul Beasts: Hell Demon Dragon, Three-Headed Red Demon Hound, Demon Eye Demon Tree, or Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear." Ning Feiliu said casually, "As for the age, this time I hope to absorb a Soul Beast of over twenty thousand years."

Since the fourth Soul Ring is not a re-absorption of a Soul Ring, he does not need to be as conservative as he was when re-absorbing—actually, he was still being conservative.

With his current repeated absorption of Soul Rings, as well as the powerful physique forged by the Moonlight Breathing Method and Sunlight Breathing Method, he feels he could even challenge a high-quality Soul Beast of over thirty thousand years.

As for soul vibration and mental shock, that goes without saying; if he can withstand the soul vibration of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, the soul vibration of a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast will not be much stronger than that of a ten-thousand-year one.

Perhaps if it were changed to the soul vibration of a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast, it might be so strong that Ning Feiliu's current mental power could barely handle it.

However, he will not be overly eager for success. When a Soul Ring can be re-absorbed, why rush? But he cannot be too cautious either; after all, absorbing a Soul Ring of clearly superior quality is beneficial to Ning Feiliu in the short term.

But Ning Feiliu feels that he still needs to be careful and cautious, and cannot let his path of cultivation suffer the slightest mistake due to greed.

"Twenty thousand years?" However, these words, which he considered conservative, shocked Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others.

But they also knew that according to this situation, it was clearly not a reckless move; Ning Feiliu's third ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was clearly displayed right there.

Dugu Bo would also not let Ning Feiliu take risks, so Ning Feiliu could indeed absorb a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring.

However...

Ning Fengzhi said at this moment, "The quality and species cannot be too casual, Feiliu."

His expression was somewhat serious, which surprised Ning Feiliu a little.

"That's right, as a Battle Soul Master... especially since it concerns your future, Feiliu, the chosen Soul Ring cannot be too sloppy, making it seem like it's on the same level as those ordinary Spirit Masters outside." Bone Douluo also nodded at this time and said.

Ning Feiliu might not be very clear, but the larger and more prestigious a Spirit Master sect is, the more demanding the requirements for the Soul Rings of its core direct disciples are.

It is not just about the quality of the Soul Ring, but even the species of the Soul Ring is limited to a few specific types of Soul Beasts.

These prestigious Spirit Master sects, after generations of exploration, have long found the Soul Beast Soul Rings that best fit the characteristics of their own martial souls and can obtain the most powerful Soul Rings currently available, so they generally require the absorption of these types of Soul Beast Soul Rings.

For example, the core direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; you can find that the soul skills of the two cousins, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, are exactly the same.

Even the first three soul skills of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, are exactly the same as the soul skills of the two cousins, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.

This is because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has already figured out the best Soul Beast species to choose when absorbing the first few Soul Rings.

Besides this, the larger the Spirit Master sect, the more stringent the requirements for its core direct disciples' Soul Rings.

However, Ning Feiliu, having absorbed the original owner's memories, remembers that...

"We Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters don't have clear requirements for the species of Soul Rings, do we?" He asked, not understanding.

After all, when the original owner absorbed the first Soul Ring, although it was a Soul Beast raised by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there was actually no specific species requirement.

At least the Soul Beast the original owner killed to absorb the first Soul Ring was not of the same species as the source of the first Soul Rings of his brothers.

And Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters, generally speaking, have fixed types of soul skills for Enhancement. Only after the martial soul upgrades to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and after obtaining the Martial Soul True Body, will the soul skills obtained change according to the abilities of the Soul Beast itself.

The previous ones are basically Strength Amplification, Speed Amplification, and the like; at most, there can be other choices for the sixth soul skill.

From the fact that Ning Fengzhi's sixth soul skill is different from that of Ning Rongrong in the original plot, it can be seen that the sixth Soul Ring of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master can produce different soul skill effects.

For example, Ning Fengzhi chose a healing ability for his sixth Soul Ring, while Ning Rongrong chose to go further in terms of enhancing teammates.

And when Ning Feiliu used the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method to forge the folding mirror, he used... the power of spirit, which represents the sixth Soul Ring.

In addition to the "True Self," which is the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda representing the Seven Treasure True Body, the other six powers of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul are Strength, Speed, Attack, Defense, Soul Power, and Spirit.

This is also the reason why the soul skills of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters are basically fixed.

However, because of the limitations of re-absorbing Soul Rings, Ning Feiliu is still more inclined to look for them among those Beast species from the Peerless Tang Sect era.

This also makes it convenient for him to find these Beasts to re-absorb Soul Rings after he becomes stronger later.

However, the three of them, Di Tian, Xue Di, and Bi Ji, are relatively special; there is almost no second Soul Beast of the same species as them.

And for the same species of Soul Beasts as Bing Di and Xie Di, one must either go to the Extreme North to find the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, or go to the Sun Moon Continent to find the Evil Eye clan.

This is not very realistic.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu set his sights on the Hell Demon Dragon, Three-Headed Red Demon Hound, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and Demon Eye Demon Tree, which are easier to find in the same clan.

Then, whichever clan's twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast he can find, he will absorb that unlucky Soul Beast.

"Wrong, Feiliu. Although we Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters do not have high requirements for the species of Soul Beasts, it does not mean there are no requirements at all." Ning Fengzhi said sternly, "And your situation is different. You are a Battle Soul Master, not an Auxiliary System Soul Master. Your soul skills for each different Crescent Moon Divine Weapon seem to come from the source of the Soul Ring, right?"

"And according to my guess, your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul should also have soul skills to enhance others."

Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "However, when I use the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon corresponding to the corresponding power with my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, I cannot give others the corresponding Enhancement. For example, when I use the Fire of Fluorescence, I cannot use the first soul skill to give teammates Strength Amplification."

Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking carefully, he understood the principle of Ning Feiliu's Crescent Moon Divine Weapon.

The five Crescent Moon Divine Weapons correspond to the five powers originally corresponding to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so when using the corresponding Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, one cannot use the corresponding power.

But if you put it that way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has six different Enhancement soul skills, and Ning Feiliu has even upgraded it to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...

But Ning Fengzhi did not say this for the time being, but continued, "So, the source of your fourth Soul Ring, Feiliu, determines what type of Enhancement soul skill you can use. This is not unrelated."

"Which two Soul Beasts did you absorb for your second and third Soul Rings, Feiliu?" He asked again.

"I hunted a Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent for my second Soul Ring, and for my third Soul Ring, I hunted a Silver Moon Mane Lion." Ning Feiliu answered immediately.

"Then your martial soul's second soul skill should be Speed, and the third soul skill should still be Attack Enhancement." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "Because although our soul skills are fixed, we can still absorb different Soul Beasts according to our needs, and then obtain corresponding Enhancement soul skills."

"For example, if you want a Soul Power Enhancement soul skill next, Feiliu, you can choose a Soul Beast whose main ability is to enhance your own state; generally, you can obtain a Soul Power Enhancement soul skill."

"However, the few types of Soul Beasts you mentioned just now are all very good." At this time, he also expressed his approval. Hell Demon Dragon, Three-Headed Red Demon Hound, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and Demon Eye Demon Tree—except for the Demon Eye Demon Tree, which is slightly inferior, the other three types of Soul Beasts are all top-tier Soul Beasts!

"What are your thoughts for the next step, Feiliu?" Ning Fengzhi said immediately, "I actually don't think the attributes and soul skills of the Hell Demon Dragon itself are suitable for you. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Three-Headed Red Demon Hound are more suitable. There is a high probability of obtaining a Soul Power Enhancement soul skill, and a low probability of obtaining a Defense Enhancement soul skill. I think they are all quite suitable."

"As for the Demon Eye Demon Tree, I remember that there was a record of a sect disciple who once absorbed a Nightmare Demon Tree similar to this type of Soul Beast, and what was obtained should be Mental Amplification. I don't really encourage you to absorb this type of Soul Beast."

In the Douluo Continent, mental attacks are only limited to illusions; they have not developed more advanced attack methods like telekinetic attacks.

Even if it is possible, it is limited to counterattacking, or counterattacking when someone invades one's own Spirit Sea.

In the original plot, even Shi Nian, who was a Spirit Control Battle Soul Saint, could only play the illusion attack routine.

Therefore, Mental Amplification is really useless in the Douluo Continent. It is precisely because of this that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect never chooses Mental Amplification soul skills as the sixth soul skill, even though the sixth soul skill clearly represents the power of mental intent.

"Mental Amplification..." Ning Feiliu was thoughtful. He took a deep breath and said, "However, I think if my fourth soul skill could obtain Mental Amplification... that would also be quite good."

"Ah?" The people present were all very surprised.

"However..." Ning Feiliu pondered for a moment, but suddenly said, "After hearing Father's perspective, I actually want my Fourth Soul Ring to hunt a different kind of Soul Beast."

"What Soul Beast?" Ning Fengzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Emerald Swan," Ning Feiliu replied.

"Hmm?" Ning Fengzhi and the others widened their eyes once again at this moment.

Ning Feiliu suddenly gave a dumbfounded smile, shook his head, and said, "So, I actually still lean more toward the Demon Eye Demon Tree."

After all... the Emerald Swan is a truly extremely rare type of Soul Beast.

It could be said that the Emerald Swan, like those two simps for Xiao Wu, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, should currently only have one individual in the Star Dou Great Forest.

And that one... is Bi Ji! Bi Ji, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts of the Peerless Tang Sect era, is an Emerald Swan by nature; their numbers are extremely scarce, even nearly extinct, and they are very rare.

This is because the Emerald Swan itself is too fragile, especially during its youth, making it easy to become food for other Soul Beasts.

Yet they themselves condense the pure life force of nature; the life force contained within a hundred-thousand-year Emerald Swan can even rival Spirit Gold that is one thousand times smaller than its own body.

To any Soul Beast, it can be considered a great tonic.

Therefore, before an Emerald Swan reaches adulthood, it is too easily killed.

But Bi Ji was very lucky among the Emerald Swan clan because, when she was very young and her cultivation was not strong,

she unintentionally saved a very weak Soul Beast; at the time, she didn't even know what species that Soul Beast was.

It wasn't until later that she learned the father of that Soul Beast was a powerful ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

It was this ten-thousand-year Soul Beast that protected Bi Ji as she grew for a thousand years. After gaining a thousand years of cultivation, the life force contained within Bi Ji became even more immense, to the point that it attracted the covetousness of many Soul Beasts.

Yet, she never held a grudge; after those Soul Beasts were defeated or injured by her protector, she always pleaded to spare their lives and treated them. As time passed, gradually, some of the Soul Beasts she had treated chose to stay by her side, also protecting her.

Because of her healing, they were able to live much longer.

Under the protection of these Soul Beasts, Bi Ji was able to grow rapidly and finally become one of the famous Ten Great Fierce Beasts.

As for why Ning Feiliu wants to obtain a roughly twenty-thousand-year Emerald Swan as his Fourth Soul Ring, it is actually because... of the Resurrection Rune on his body.

With the Resurrection Rune's enhanced healing effect, if his Fourth Soul Ring could obtain a Healing Spirit Skill like Ning Fengzhi's Sixth Soul Ring, then the healing effect would definitely be no weaker than Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia!

And Ning Feiliu prefers that the Soul Beasts he absorbs next be from the same clans as the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, to make it convenient for him to re-absorb Beast-level Soul Rings in the future.

So, only the Emerald Swan is suitable.

However... everyone knows the rarity of the Emerald Swan.

Naturally, Ning Feiliu would not force it, but... the Demon Eye Demon Tree is not particularly rare, right?

Since the Fourth Soul Ring cannot obtain a Healing Spirit Skill, then obtaining a Mental Amplification soul skill is actually quite good...

Because he has the Spirit Condensation Technique that comes with the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method!

He can directly turn spirit power into a weapon to attack enemies.

Then the Mental Amplification soul skill would be quite good for him.

Moreover, he is truly not afraid of anything else now, except for others playing the game of mental attacks and illusions; he must guard against existences like Shi Nian.

"But..." Ning Fengzhi still frowned slightly; he didn't think a Mental Amplification soul skill was that good.

For Ning Feiliu right now, the best thing would be to obtain a soul power enhancement soul skill; then, with the four major offensive enhancements of strength, speed, attack, and soul power, Ning Feiliu could unleash terrifying combat power!

"Father... I have my own judgment," Ning Feiliu smiled at this moment and said firmly.

Hearing Ning Feiliu's firm words, Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "Alright... since that is the case, tomorrow I will go with your Jian Yeye to help you obtain the Soul Ring."

"I will go too; after all, Feiliu is my student," Dugu Bo chuckled at this moment and said.

"How could I trouble you with that... Feiliu has already troubled Mr. Dugu quite a bit," Ning Fengzhi said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"It's no trouble; Feiliu is my student, how could it be considered trouble?" Dugu Bo said with a smile.

"This... alright then," Ning Fengzhi agreed helplessly.

Ning Feiliu felt it was a bit strange; for him to obtain a Fourth Soul Ring, it actually mobilized two Title Douluo, plus Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the current number one Auxiliary System Soul Master on the Douluo Continent, to help him obtain one Soul Ring...

What a grand treatment this is.

After all, he is now a genius Spirit Master valued by everyone...
