"Okay, let's get off topic."
Snake Spear Douluo also realized that what he said was a bit off.
Anyway, he didn't dare to go to a hellish place like the City of Slaughter.
In the past, there were powerful soul masters in the Spirit Hall who chose to go to the City of Slaughter because they were stuck in a bottleneck in their cultivation and found it difficult to break through.
However, except for the current Pope Bibi Dong, no one came out alive.
"Uncle She, how many years of spirit rings do you think he is suitable to absorb?" Xue Qinghe asked.
The number of years it takes to absorb a soul ring is related to many factors, including the quality of the martial soul, the strength of the physical body, and mental power.
However, only a Titled Douluo who has cultivated his martial soul to the extreme can roughly judge what level of physical body, what strength of mental power, and how long a spirit ring can bear.
She has a six-winged angel spirit, which is at level twenty innate, of which ten levels are divine soul power. In essence, she is still at level ten innate, but her physical body and mental power are stronger than normal innate full soul power because of the powerful six-winged angel spirit.
The limit of her first soul ring is close to 500 years, and the limit of her second soul ring is close to 900 years, which has exceeded the vast majority of soul masters and is also the maximum safe lifespan sensed by her grandfather.
However, as for absorbing spirit rings, you can't just find as many years as you want.
It mainly depends on the attributes of the soul beast. The soul ring of the six-winged angel martial spirit is best to have a soul beast with the attribute of light. Soul beasts of this attribute are extremely rare in themselves, and it is very difficult to find one of similar age. It is impossible for it to just reach her limit.
"Let me see." Snake Spear Douluo placed his hand on Xuan Ming's shoulder, releasing his soul power and mental power to sense and detect the limits of his physical body and the strength of his mental power.
"Um?"
"What's wrong?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"Something's not right." Snake Spear Douluo's tone was a little strange, and he released his soul power attack again.
Xuan Ming's face looked a little ugly.
Ye Lan had told him that spirit rings of different ages contained different spirit powers. If a spirit ring was too old, when the spirit master absorbed the spirit ring, his meridians would be damaged because he could not withstand the huge energy in the spirit ring. In severe cases, he might even self-explode.
This so-called test seemed to be testing the limits of his physical body through the powerful pressure of soul power.
This feeling was not pleasant, he felt his whole body was being squeezed!
"Your martial soul mutation... is unheard of." Snake Spear Douluo retracted his soul power.
"What's wrong?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"Not only does his beast spirit mutation make him look different from an ordinary person, but there's also something very wrong with his body," Snake Spear Douluo said.
"I'm beginning to suspect that he's a humanoid soul beast."
"Human-shaped soul beast?" Xue Qinghe frowned slightly.
"What are his limits?"
"Eight hundred." Snake Spear Douluo said.
Most of the first-ring great soul masters who want to obtain the second soul ring do not have this kind of body. It's really weird!
"Eight hundred?!" Xue Qinghe was stunned.
"Are you... serious?"
"I hope I'm kidding." Snake Spear Douluo's expression under his cloak was very interesting.
No wonder he doesn't have any additional spirit rings. He can use the blood spear to blast the stone with brute force alone. This kid's body is too abnormal!
If a martial soul mutation causes a physical change to this extent, I'm afraid I can't find another one in the martial soul hall's books!
If this kid reaches the level of a Titled Douluo, his body will be more terrifying than the second worshiper, Golden Crocodile! ...
After getting the answer he wanted, Xue Qinghe brought Xuan Ming back to the main Chat.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened just now." Xue Qinghe said.
"Yeah." Xuan Ming responded.
"Don't you ask why?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't know what you shouldn't know." Xuan Ming said.
"Since the eldest prince is willing to help me, he will tell me what he should tell me. Since you don't want to be seen by everyone, then I should naturally know nothing."
Xue Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "You are really smart."
"I am now more and more curious about what you have seen and experienced in the past that has given you this kind of mind."
"It's better for the eldest prince not to know." Xuan Ming said.
"It's not a glorious past. I don't want to recall it or mention it."
Xue Qinghe was stunned, "I made a mistake."
It really can't be a good thing to let a child of an age that should be innocent have this kind of mentality.
"What I promised you will be fulfilled tonight." Xue Qinghe said. "Then thank you first, the eldest prince." Xuan Ming said.
"Don't you want to know the details?" Xue Qinghe said helplessly.
"I guess the eldest prince wants to cause chaos and let me fish in troubled waters." Xuan Ming said.
"This is the Sunset Forest. The eldest prince must want to bury all of this with a soul beast, right?"
Xue Qinghe's eyes twitched slightly, "I'm beginning to be a little afraid of you."
Xuan Ming looked at Xue Qinghe in confusion, "Why should you be afraid of me?"
Xue Qinghe was stunned.
Indeed, this kid is smart, but being smart is meaningless in many things in this world.
No matter how smart Xuan Ming is, he can only see his own situation clearly but cannot change anything.
Given the absolute gap in strength, she really had nothing to fear.
…
The joyful autumn hunt lasted the whole day, and in the evening, everyone returned to the camp with their own spoils.
The young princes only dared to attack less aggressive and less dangerous soul beasts such as rabbits and deer, but there were also many brave princes who targeted ferocious soul beasts such as tigers, leopards, and snakes.
Even though there were guards around, many people were still injured.
As for those who successfully bring back the beasts, they are naturally more popular.
And tonight's dinner will be made from these prey.
"Brother! Look, I killed a white tiger."
The third prince excitedly dragged a tiger that was more than two meters long across the camp and came to Xue Qinghe and his group.
"Third brother is indeed brave and worthy of being the pride of our Tiandou royal family." Xue Qinghe also gave him face and began to flatter him.
"This white tiger should be a hundred-year-old soul beast, right?" Dugu Yan observed.
"At least five hundred years." The third prince said with some pride.
"The three princes are truly amazing, a five-hundred-year-old white tiger." Dugu Yan praised.
Tiger soul beasts were extremely ferocious, and she was incapable of facing a five-hundred-year-old tiger alone.
"Lingling, what do you think?" Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling and Xuan Ming who were standing aside in silence.
Give me some reaction!
"This is a tigress who just gave birth." Ye Lingling said.
Dugu Yan was stunned, "How do you know?"
"Look at its belly, you can tell it just gave birth and is very weak," said Ye Lingling.
"There was also blood coming out of its mouth, which clearly showed that it had suffered severe internal injuries."
"I'm afraid she had just given birth and encountered a soul master who entered the forest to drive away soul beasts. In order to protect the cub, she attracted fire and was seriously injured."
Xuan Ming threw a branch into the fire. "What good luck."
"…"
The scene was extremely awkward for a time, and the Third Prince, who was exposed, looked extremely unhappy.
He wanted to show off, but ended up with a swollen face!
Especially Xuan Ming's finishing words, which seriously stimulated the self-esteem of the Third Prince.
"Since this is just luck, I'll just hit another one!" said the third prince angrily.
"Third brother, it's getting late. We can fight tomorrow if we want to. Besides, today's prey has basically scattered or escaped. If we want to fight, we have to enter the Sunset Forest, which is too dangerous." Xue Qinghe advised.
"Then let's go into the forest and see if there really is a litter of newly born tiger cubs," said the third prince.
"If there is any, I can bring it back as a gift for my father."
"Third brother, don't be reckless!" Xue Qinghe said in a deep voice.
"Don't even mention me. Even General Ge Long and his men won't allow you to enter the Sunset Forest right now."
"Then let's not let them know." said the third prince.
"Brother, there is no need to say more. I am not going alone. It is just right to take everyone with me and let them see if I rely on luck alone!"
"Third brother!" Xue Qinghe wanted to persuade him again, but the Third Prince had already turned around and left to greet the little followers he had gained today.
"What should we do?" Xue Qinghe said anxiously.
This is great!
I was originally worried about finding a reason to get these princes to leave the main group, but now everything is settled! You are really my good third brother!
