Chapter 102: Crazy Improvement, God Trials Are Too Simple

Lingxu had not yet used the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone rewarded by the system previously, as he simply had no time to absorb it.

There was also the Martial Soul Upgrade Card, which Lingxu had not used either.

However, Lingxu was not in a rush to use them; instead, he prepared to find these Consecrated to spar first to see where his gaps lay, but Lingxu gave up on this idea as soon as he had it.

The reason was simple: if he were to spar with these Consecrated, his fighting style and trump cards would be exposed all the more.

Persisting for the time it takes to burn an incense stick was likely not easy; after all, this God Trial task was primarily about persistence.

Therefore, the more methods he displayed, the more opportunities he would have, and his methods might only be effective the first time they appeared.

But if they appeared a second time, their effectiveness would certainly be greatly diminished.

Conversely, Lingxu could learn about these Consecrated's fighting styles through other channels, even the effects of every soul skill, their combat habits, and their weaknesses, finding any information he could exploit.

However, these were secondary; the key was that his own strength had to improve for it to be meaningful.

So, while Qian Renxue went to receive the Angel God's baptism, Lingxu returned directly to his room and chose to enter closed-door cultivation.

There was no other reason than to absorb this ten-thousand-year soul bone, a ten-thousand-year Right Arm Bone.

To have a ten-thousand-year soul bone and not absorb it would be truly foolish.

However, before absorbing it, Lingxu first thought to the system: "System, upgrade my Holy Light Winged Tiger martial soul!"

After much deliberation, Lingxu still chose to upgrade the Holy Light Winged Tiger martial soul; as for the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear, Lingxu placed it for later, as his current plan for his second martial soul was mostly to use it later to absorb soul rings and burst soul power.

Therefore, to increase combat power, upgrading the Holy Light Winged Tiger was the most direct way.

The Holy Light Winged Tiger was already a presence very close to a top-tier martial soul, so this upgrade would definitely rank it among the top-tier martial souls.

After Lingxu used the Martial Soul Upgrade Card, he only felt a warm current enter his body and head straight for his Holy Light Winged Tiger martial soul.

Subsequently, the entire martial soul was enveloped by this warm current; even Lingxu himself did not know what changes his martial soul was undergoing, as if he had suddenly lost contact with it.

At this moment, Lingxu could only choose to wait.

Time passed slowly, and after seventy-six hours had elapsed, this warm current suddenly radiated from the Holy Light Winged Tiger martial soul and permeated his entire body.

Lingxu's body seemed to be changing as well; with the martial soul upgrade, Lingxu's body also seemed to have received a baptism and upgrade.

At this time, Lingxu was already able to sense his martial soul.

Without any surprise, it was still a tiger-type martial soul; this basically would not change.

"Six-Winged Holy Light Tiger? Or should I call you Three-Colored Saint Light Winged Tiger?"

Lingxu discovered that the appearance of the martial soul had changed; the wings had become three pairs, and they were of three different colors.

A golden holy attribute, a fiery red fire attribute, and a blue ice attribute.

Originally, this holy attribute belonged to the Holy Light Winged Tiger, and then the subsequent ice and fire attributes seemed to have triggered the effects of Lingxu's Ice and Fire Body Tempering.

Two pairs of wings grew out, both exhibiting two attributes.

Lingxu sensed it for a moment and said faintly: "It looks like the newly upgraded martial soul should be able to directly increase my overall strength by more than 10%!"

Originally, Lingxu's level 77 combat power was already very terrifying, and increasing it by another ten percent gave Lingxu the power to fight an ordinary Title Douluo now.

Not only that, there were also changes in some of his previous soul skills.

For example, Lingxu's First Spirit Skill, Holy Light Defense, was originally just a defensive barrier with a holy attribute, but now this defensive barrier had three layers, representing the triple attributes.

"Not bad, continue to improve, absorb the soul bone!"

With Lingxu in his room, Qian Daoliu basically would not come to probe him; in any case, he had already chosen to enter closed-door cultivation, and even if he really knew he had a ten-thousand-year soul bone, it would not matter.

A ten-thousand-year soul bone, the soul bone all Spirit Masters dream of.

Lingxu quickly integrated it into his body as the days passed.

The time Lingxu spent fusing the soul bone this time was not short, taking a full twenty-six days.

During these thirty-six days, with the soul bone fusion and the benefits brought by his Lingxue Sacred Land, Lingxu's soul power had increased again.

Lingxu's attributes had changed drastically; having a ten-thousand-year soul ring brought Lingxu not only an increase in soul power but also in Mental Power, and Lingxu had also increased by 2 levels, soon to reach level ninety.

With seventy or eighty days remaining, Lingxu believed that as long as he cultivated diligently and added the 10% cultivation effect from the Lingxue Sacred Land members, reaching level eighty soul power would definitely not be a problem.

"Where should I start from next?"

Lingxu had already used what could strengthen his power: soul bones and upgrading his martial soul.

"Immortal Grade Herb?"

"That's right, the medicinal effect of the previous Ice and Fire Body Tempering has been completely consumed; now is the best time to take an Immortal Grade Herb again."

Lingxu looked at the Immortal Grade Herb he had obtained, the highly toxic Snowy Swan Kiss, and Lingxu smiled.

The Snowy Swan Kiss could be said to be the most toxic Immortal Grade Herb on the Douluo Continent, seemingly without equal; a single Snowy Swan Kiss was enough to destroy a Slaughter City.

But Lingxu would not destroy the Slaughter City like Tang San did; wouldn't that be a pure waste?

It is just that Tang San's ability is limited, and he does not know how to bring out the power of the Snowy Swan Kiss.

Although the Snowy Swan Kiss is highly toxic, there are often things that restrain it growing in its immediate vicinity.

These things might also be the easiest for people to overlook.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is not lacking in this regard; there are four medicinal herbs that can neutralize the Snowy Swan Kiss, each growing around the Snowy Swan Kiss.

They are also four Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, and they are also highly toxic Immortal Grade herbs.

Using these four highly toxic Immortal Grade herbs to refine a bowl of poisonous soup, and then adding the Snowy Swan Kiss, can neutralize all the toxicity and turn it into the best precious medicine in this world.

However, the medicinal effect is intense, and ordinary people or even ordinary Spirit Masters cannot consume it directly.

Even the current Lingxu only feels that he has just barely reached the standard.

In the suite where he is staying, Lingxu takes out those four highly toxic Immortal Grade herbs.

In the original work, these ordinary highly toxic Immortal Grade herbs were basically taken by Tang San to make hidden weapons, such as the King of Hell's Invitation; it was truly a waste of precious things.

Next, after a day and a night of refining, a bowl of steaming green soup appears before Lingxu.

The poisonous soup has been refined, and its toxicity is comparable to the existence of the Snowy Swan Kiss.

Because of his constitution, Lingxu is not afraid of this poisonous soup.

But if it were left to someone else to refine this, it is estimated that they would have been poisoned before it was even refined.

This also shows that ordinary people truly cannot produce this precious medicine.

Looking at this poisonous soup, Lingxu quickly takes out the Snowy Swan Kiss and throws it in.

The moment the two come into contact, the Snowy Swan Kiss dissolves instantly.

The snow-white and green colors form a distinct boundary in the bowl, just like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but now is not the best time to consume it.

Lingxu is still waiting, and after less than five minutes, the two begin to merge into each other.

The color is also changing, and when it all turns a pale red, it is the best time to consume it.

Moreover, this time will only last for thirty seconds; it must be consumed during this time, and if it passes, this precious medicine will turn back into a poison.

The poison would be more than three times stronger than it was before.

So, only during this time—the bowl holds a full half-jin—Lingxu immediately lifts it and drinks it all in one gulp.

And just as Lingxu puts it down, there are three drops left in the bowl, which turn black after two or three seconds.

Lingxu hurriedly takes out a bottle to store these three drops; this thing might be useful in the future.

After doing this, Lingxu immediately sits cross-legged and begins to absorb the medicinal power.

And this is definitely the most potent medicine Lingxu has ever seen; Lingxu feels his body burning, as if it is about to explode.

This medicine requires an extremely high-quality body to withstand it, and the effects obtained can not only improve physical strength but also increase soul power, and even improve some Mental Power.

Originally, Lingxu was in a cross-legged state, but this medicine is simply too powerful; Lingxu has no choice but to roll on the ground.

In order not to affect the outside and let Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue discover him, Lingxu bites down on something and silently endures it.

The time of pain lasts for a long time, and Lingxu keeps persisting.

But Lingxu still underestimates the efficacy of this precious medicine, making Lingxu feel danger once again.

In desperation, he can only integrate a portion of the medicinal effect into the soul bone Golden Armor, allowing the Golden Armor to increase its age.

After distributing a portion of the medicinal effect, Lingxu's body also improves slightly.

This time lasts for three days; Lingxu feels that he has suffered all the torture he would ever suffer in this life. If he had known this medicine was so potent, he might have considered it.

Isn't it better to just lie flat and wait for his soul power to increase?

Hoo... hoo...

Lingxu lets out a long breath and then says calmly: "Fortunately, I succeeded."

At Level 80 soul power, restricted by not having a Spirit Ring, Lingxu does not know how much it has increased.

Another thing is physical strength, which is what has improved the most.

Originally, Lingxu's body was already at the Title Douluo level, and now that it has improved again, to say nothing else, this body definitely has the comprehensive strength of a Level 93 Title Douluo.

As for exactly how much, it will only be known after fighting a Title Douluo.

Then there is Mental Power; Lingxu checks the system, and his Mental Power has reached Level 92.

This improvement is a huge one, and as for that soul bone Golden Armor, it has reached over 80,000 years.

Just a little bit of energy is enough to make the Golden Armor improve by more than 20,000 years, which is enough to show the power of this medicinal effect.

Just by absorbing an ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring, Lingxu feels that it would at least increase his soul power by five levels.

Not to mention that Lingxu still has a 100,000-year Spirit Ring that he has not absorbed, and now there are seventy-five days left until his Angel Third Trial.

Seventy-five days is enough for Lingxu to absorb a 100,000-year Spirit Ring.

This Spirit Ring is produced by the system, with a maximum of 100,000 years.

Having reached this age, how could Lingxu be picky?

However, Lingxu does not absorb this Spirit Ring immediately, but goes to bathe and change clothes, eats something, and rests for a few hours before starting to absorb this 100,000-year Spirit Ring.

With the improvement of all aspects of his body, Lingxu finds absorbing this 100,000-year Spirit Ring this time truly too easy.

Lingxu spent a total of seventy-three days on the previous 100,000-year Spirit Ring.

And now, Lingxu has shortened the time by more than half this time, taking only twenty-six days.

Lingxu looks at his soul power and Mental Power in the system again, and even Lingxu himself is very surprised.

The previous medicinal effect plus the absorption of this 100,000-year Spirit Ring has allowed Lingxu's soul power to reach Level 89 directly.

Even his Mental Power has taken another step forward, reaching Level 93.

Looking at his current soul power, Lingxu says: "This Angel Third Trial seems a bit too simple!"

Persisting for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn is simple in Lingxu's view.

He even has the confidence to defeat a Consecrated.

For example, the two Spirit Douluo, Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo, at the end.

Converging his aura, Lingxu disguised his soul power to look like the level 77 he was before, then walked out.

"Qian Yeye, I want to go out and train for a period of time; I will return three days before the God Trial," Lingxu said.

"Go out to train?" Qian Daoliu looked at Lingxu with some confusion, wondering what use there was in going out to train for forty-some days at this time.

However, thinking that Lingxu already possessed a set of unique methods, he nodded and agreed to let Lingxu go out.

Lingxu glanced at Qian Renxue; she had already entered her own state while accepting the baptism, and Lingxu could not interfere, so he left directly.

After Lingxu went out, he sent out the pills he had previously refined to treat Dugu Bo and the others.

They were all refined before; now, the blood in his body could no longer be used for them, as using it would only harm them.

Therefore, Lingxu did not send them all out; out of a total of thirty pills, he sent out fifteen.

After finishing his business, Lingxu returned to his old home in Wuhun City once more.

Then he went straight out of Wuhun City, but when he went out, Lingxu sent a voice transmission to the Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo who were following behind him.

He no longer needed the protection of the two.

Originally, they were acting under the orders of Qian Daoliu, but now that Lingxu did not need them, they chose to listen to Lingxu and stopped protecting him to go back and report to Qian Daoliu.

However, at this moment inside the Pope Palace.

"Your Excellency, this subordinate just discovered that Lingxu has already left Wuhun City and is no longer allowing Puffer Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo to protect him."

"Old Ghost is currently tracking him; Your Excellency, should we make a move?" Ju Douluo said.

"Finally came out! And he doesn't even want protection."

"You and Ghost Douluo move out together; once he is one hundred kilometers away from Wuhun City, kill him," Bibi Dong said.

"This subordinate obeys!" Ju Douluo said.

Yet the moment Ju Douluo left and disappeared, Bibi Dong felt her heart grow somewhat flustered.

"He has already reached level 77 soul power so quickly; he must have participated in the Angel God Trial. No, I must go personally."

Thinking of some of Lingxu's methods, Bibi Dong truly did not feel at ease letting Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo go.
