Chapter 120 The Requirements for Absorbing a 100,000-Year Soul Ring
Dark clouds obscured the night sky, illuminating the center of the pitch-black battlefield.
Spider remains littered the ground, the foul-smelling, congealed, blackened blood leaving the corroded earth lifeless.
The three shimmering, fluorescent soul bones Qin Ming handed over became the most dazzling colors under this starry night.
"Take them, Elder Dugu Bo. These three soul bones are what you deserve."
As he spoke, Qin Ming placed the soul bones in Dugu Bo's hands.
After unconsciously receiving the soul bones from Qin Ming, a sense of unreality filled Dugu Bo's heart.
"Your Highness, did the left and right leg bones explode at the same time?
Twin 100,000-year soul bones!
This is the first case on the continent, worthy of being recorded..."
Ke Lin's exclamation pulled Dugu Bo back to reality.
After shaking his head vigorously, Dugu Bo finally confirmed that he wasn't dreaming; Qin Ming had indeed given him three 100,000-year soul bones.
After letting out a soft breath, Dugu Bo handed the soul bones back to Qin Ming.
"Your Highness, I'm already more than satisfied with one 100,000-year-level soul ring. I can't accept these soul bones."
Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Dugu Bo began to explain.
"Your Highness, if you successfully absorb these three 100,000-year-level soul bones, your physical strength will undoubtedly increase several levels.
Then, combined with the Vajra Indestructible Technique taught to you by Elder Yue Guan,
your fifth soul ring might even be a 100,000-year-level one."
As he spoke, a fanatical light shone in Dugu Bo's eyes, and his tone became increasingly impassioned.
"If you can absorb 100,000-year-level soul rings starting from your fifth soul ring,
when you reach the Title level, possessing five 100,000-year-level soul rings, you will become the strongest soul master in history.
You are destined to dominate the entire era and become the strongest among countless soul masters!"
Although he already had a plan in mind, hearing Dugu Bo's words still stirred a tempting feeling in Qin Ming.
Moreover, Qin Ming, who had read the original novel, knew that the soul skills attached to these three soul bones were not weak.
Even if the attributes were somewhat mismatched, their additional significance far exceeded their intrinsic value.
"Can I choose a 100,000-year level soul ring for my fifth soul ring?"
After muttering to himself, Qin Ming felt his heart beating a little fast.
'Anyway, I have the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone.
When I find a suitable soul bone, I can just take out these two soul bones and give them to Dugu Bo.'
Yue Guan and the others also began to persuade him.
"Your Highness, Elder Dugu Bo's suggestion is good. Why don't you absorb this soul bone yourself?" "
I also agree with Elder Dugu Bo's suggestion..."
Amidst the persuasion of the crowd, Dugu Bo once again handed the soul bone in his hand to Qin Ming.
After a brief moment of thought, Qin Ming pushed the soul bone back again.
"Elder Dugu Bo, you should just absorb these three soul bones directly.
Even with their blessing, I'm afraid I still won't be able to directly absorb a 100,000-year-level soul ring."
Seeing that Dugu Bo was still unwilling to accept the soul bones, Qin Ming continued to explain.
"Elders, you haven't considered the issue of soul shock.
The soul of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is far more resilient than that of an ordinary 10,000-year-old soul beast.
The soul shock required to absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring is completely different from that required to absorb a 10,000-year-old soul ring.
Even if you elders do your best to damage the soul of a 100,000-year-old soul beast,
I probably still won't be able to withstand the residual mental impact…"
Hearing Qin Ming say this, Yue Guan, who had been somewhat confused, also came to her senses.
"Your Highness is right.
We did overlook this issue just now.
According to my estimation, even with the soul of a 100,000-year-old soul beast damaged,
to absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring, one would need at least the mental strength of a Soul Saint to have even a sliver of a chance of success.
Although Your Highness's mental strength is strong now, it is far from reaching that level."
After Yue Guan finished speaking, Qin Ming muttered to himself.
'Soul Saint level mental strength?
It seems I'll have to increase my mental strength training time in the future...'
As he pondered, Qin Ming placed the soul bone in his hand back into Dugu Bo's hand. "Elder Dugu Bo, please take it.
I'm currently stuck at a bottleneck.
Although I can still accumulate soul power by absorbing soul bones, some energy will always be wasted.
Wouldn't it be a pity to lose that energy for nothing?"
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Dugu Bo finally calmed down.
After bowing respectfully, Dugu Bo said nothing more.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Qin Ming led Yue Guan and the others away.
After finding a relatively safe spot in Death Valley, Dugu Bo silently began to absorb…
One day later.
The sky was just beginning to brighten when a hoot came from afar.
Qin Ming, who was practicing the Distraction Control Technique to train his mental strength, was startled by the commotion around him.
Opening his eyes, Qin Ming looked into the distance.
Ke Lin and the others were huddled together taking a nap, while Yue Guan and Gui Mei were cautiously keeping watch around them.
At this time, Dugu Bo had successfully absorbed and refined three 100,000-year-level soul bones.
The aura emanating from him was no weaker than that of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Your Highness, I haven't let you down. I'm now a level 94 Title Douluo.
With a 100,000-year soul ring, three 100,000-year soul bones, and the soul core I've condensed,
next time we encounter a 100,000-year-level soul beast,
I can hunt down its soul bones all by myself!"
Dugu Bo's voice also startled Ke Lin and Dugu Xin awake.
"Father, you succeeded!"
"Congratulations, Elder Dugu Bo..."
Dugu Bo nodded to the two of them, his eyes slightly narrowed, filled with joy.
Looking at the confident Dugu Bo in front of him, Qin Ming chuckled.
"Elder Dugu Bo, I forgot to ask you before, what is your ninth soul skill?
And what are the soul skills of those other soul bones?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo quickly answered.
"Your Highness, the soul skills granted to me by my ninth soul ring are exactly as you predicted—offensive soul skills that can compensate for my weaknesses.
The first soul skill of this 100,000-year soul ring is Eternal Wound, which can ignore physical defense and continuously inflict damage.
The second soul skill is Abyss Slash, which can shatter mental power detection below the god level and lock onto the enemy's body for a strike that leaves them with no way to dodge.
The first soul skill of the Purple Winged Spider King's torso soul bone is One Breath Slaughter of Three Thousand Realms.
Its effect is to launch a huge shockwave from its mouth, which has great destructive power.
The second soul skill is Soul Power Amplification.
It is a soul skill that can take effect without active release, and this soul skill can greatly enhance my sustained combat ability."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo summoned the left and right leg bones that had burst out from the Death Spider King's body.
A flash of dark green soul power appeared, and Dugu Bo's calves transformed into two curved demonic scythes.
As if walking on stilts, when Dugu Bo stood up, his height had reached over 2.2 meters.
Although somewhat unaccustomed to this state, Dugu Bo was, after all, a Title Douluo-level Soul Master.
In just a short time, he mastered the basic techniques.
After a light cough, Dugu Bo looked at Qin Ming and said,
"Your Highness, the Soul Skills granted to me by the Death Spider King's left and right leg bones are scythe-like legs and scythe explosion.
With the assistance of these Soul Bones, my close combat ability will not be weaker than that of a Weapon Soul Master of the same level."
Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Dugu Bo leaped high into the air, twisting his body and kicking towards the cliff face not far away.
Instantly, a deep fissure appeared on the cliff face.
From a distance, corrosion was visible on the rocks surrounding the fissure.
Dugu Bo landed back on the ground, and just as Qin Ming was about to ask a question,
a figure rushed towards them…
