Chapter 59: Advancing to Soul Emperor, the First Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring

After a night of cultivation, the next morning.

Dai Xiyu had just awakened from cultivation when a special prompt appeared in the upper left corner.

【Gain from Qian Renxue's fortune: +200,000】

Now, Dai Xiyu doesn't need to do anything; just one night of contact can greatly increase Qian Renxue's favor.

After cultivation ends, this increased favor will naturally be converted into an equivalent amount of fortune.

That night, Dai Xiyu naturally gained about fifty thousand soul power through bodily contact.

Adding the twenty thousand fortune from the favor increase upon waking, the total is twenty-five thousand.

As for Qian Renxue, after deducting the twenty-five thousand fortune taken by Dai Xiyu, she still has twenty thousand left.

Thus, just as with Zhu Zhuqing at first, they can cyclically achieve a win-win.

For the following period, Dai Xiyu basically maintained the same routine, each day harvesting between two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand fortune.

Until two months later.

Today is a holiday at Tiandou Royal Advanced Academy; students can move freely within the academy.

Rear Mountain, beside Azure Moon Pool.

Dai Xiyu stood firm on a pile of rocks and looked around.

After confirming there was no one around, he turned back, found a large boulder, and sat leaning against it.

With a thought, he opened the fortune shop.

【Fortune balance: 7,912,650】

【Current items on sale (updated in 240 days)】

【500-year soul ring: 6,000 fortune】

【1,000-year soul ring: 10,000 fortune】

【5,000-year soul ring: 50,000 fortune】

【10,000-year soul ring: 100,000 fortune】

【50,000-year soul ring: 500,000 fortune】

【100,000-year soul ring: 1,000,000 fortune】

【Divine-bestowed soul ring: 2,500,000 fortune】

【10,000-year right arm soul bone: 200,000 fortune】

【100,000-year external attached soul bone (random): 2,000,000 fortune】

【1,000,000-year thunderstorm strong attack right arm bone: 20,000,000 fortune】

【1,000,000-year wind-chasing lightning left leg bone: 20,000,000 fortune】

【Soul power (level 1): 2,600,000 fortune】

【Free attribute points: 400,000 fortune】

【Third martial soul (random): 5,000,000 fortune】

【A bag of gold soul coins (1000): 1,000 fortune】

……

Over the past two months, Dai Xiyu has been able to obtain at least two hundred thousand fortune each day from Qian Renxue.

By today, he has obtained a total of over eighteen million.

Of course, while gaining fortune, Dai Xiyu has also been exchanging it for soul power.

Just exchanging for soul power has cost 11.4 million fortune.

Now, Dai Xiyu's soul power has reached level sixty.

Today, taking advantage of the holiday, he came alone to Rear Mountain to absorb his sixth soul ring.

Because the soul ring he plans to absorb is expected to reach a hundred thousand years, it would likely cause a significant disturbance, drawing the attention of powerful figures in the academy.

Therefore, Dai Xiyu did not absorb it within the academy.

Sitting beside the boulder, he first activated his Sharingan to check once more for any abnormalities around him.

After the second check, Dai Xiyu felt at ease, turned, and purchased a hundred-thousand-year soul ring from the shop.

【Successfully exchanged for a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, fortune -1,000,000】

Now, Dai Xiyu can confirm that he is able to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

In that case, there's no need to insist on using a divine-bestowed soul ring or pursuing the limit.

At the level of a hundred thousand years, a difference of a few tens of thousands is utterly insignificant.

Unless this time, by relying on a divine-bestowed soul ring, he could reach the level of two hundred thousand years, which would yield a significantly greater improvement.

However, surpassing a hundred thousand years and directly reaching two hundred thousand years is fundamentally impossible.

Given that, it's better to save 1.5 million fortune and directly advance using a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Taking the hundred-thousand-year soul ring from the warehouse, Dai Xiyu hesitated not at all and began absorbing it on the spot.

The process went very smoothly, just like the previous soul rings, with no resistance.

By afternoon, Dai Xiyu's tightly closed eyes snapped open in an instant.

He stood up, feeling the surging soul power within, and directly released his White Tiger Martial Soul.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, red!

Altogether six soul rings, neatly arranged beneath his feet, swirling and flowing.

And that final soul ring was unmistakably a vivid blood-red hundred-thousand-year ring!

"As expected of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, even its soul skill is far stronger than before."

This sixth soul skill, when released, can leave a residual image of himself in place.

As for the main body, it temporarily enters a stealth state; aside from an insight-type soul skill of the same level and 100,000-year age, nobody can crack it.

Ten seconds later, the stealth is lifted, and within five seconds of lifting the stealth, its own strength, defense, agility and other attributes increase to double.

This soul skill lies between agility attack and strength attack; both types of soul masters can let this soul skill exert its maximum effect.

And Dai Xiyu can be said to be both a strength attacker and an agility attacker.

While possessing a strength-attack martial soul, he also possesses a Copy Wheel Eye that assists agility attack, as well as extraordinary physical agility.

"Naming this soul skill is quite a hassle…… This soul skill, let's call it Shape-Shifting and Shadow-Changing; it feels quite fitting."

After thinking it over, Dai Xiyu decided not to bother further, directly using the first word that came to mind.

After understanding the function of the soul skill, Dai Xiyu carefully sensed his own soul power again.

"Level sixty-four…… absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring directly raised my soul power by four levels!"

That was an unexpected joy; he originally thought that a 100,000-year soul ring raising three levels would already be good.

After all, his current soul power foundation has already reached level sixty; increasing it is not as simple as before.

Gaining an extra level of soul power is equivalent to saving over two million fortune; Dai Xiyu is naturally very pleased.

At this moment, the balance remaining in the fortune store is 6.91 million.

Without hesitation, he directly spent 5.4 million fortune to exchange for two levels of soul power.

【Successful exchange of soul power (1 level), fortune -2600000】

【Successful exchange of soul power (1 level), fortune -2800000】

……

After exchanging for two levels of soul power, Dai Xiyu's soul power had already reached level sixty-six.

As for fortune, only 1.51 million remained, insufficient to purchase the next level of soul power.

"With sixty-six level soul power, as long as the opponent is not someone whose soul power exceeds level seventy-six, they pose no threat at all……"

Fortune can help the host escape danger, but it does not include hunters outside the rules.

So, if there is now someone whose fortune and strength both exceed Dai Xiyu's, there remains a possibility of threatening his life.

"Not enough; I need to reach level ninety quickly, so that in a one-on-one situation, no one on the entire Douluo Continent can be my opponent."

Thinking of this, Dai Xiyu made a rough estimate.

In the remaining three months of Heavenly Fight, if the speed of plundering fortune remains constant, the most we could still obtain is over twenty million fortune.

Twenty million fortune should be enough to help myself break through to above level seventy-five.

Of course, the premise is that Qian Renxue is strong enough, and the fortune she contributes can remain robust.

……

Just as Dai Xiyu was alone heading to the back mountain to advance in level.

Outside Qian Renxue's dormitory door, an unexpected guest in a black robe arrived.

On that black robe was worn the emblem of the Spirit Hall.
