Chapter 19. Jue Gui's promotion to Titled Douluo.
The age of his spirit ring was relatively easy at first, but when it reached 90,000 years, the test for the ghost began. Sweat streamed down his cheeks. As the spirit ring's age continued to increase, the pressure on the ghost grew.
At the 99,999-year mark, the ghost reached a critical point. The sweat that flowed from his pores was no longer sweat, but blood-tinged sweat. The
100,000- year-old ghost finally survived this stage, its spirit ring's color instantly turning from black to red. However, the ghost didn't stop, choosing to continue absorbing until, at 115,000 years, it reached its limit.
The age of this spirit ring was finally fixed at 115,000 years.
The ghost opened his eyes and looked at the crimson spirit ring among his own, feeling a surge of excitement.
It's said that to become an Ultimate Douluo, one must, at the very least, possess a red 100,000-year spirit ring. Guimei didn't believe he'd ever become the legendary Ultimate Douluo, but a 100,000-year spirit ring would raise his limits once he became a Titled Douluo.
Yue Guan, on the other hand, was filled with envy of Guimei. Not every spirit master about to ascend to Titled Douluo possessed the physique necessary to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring. Now that Guimei had crossed that threshold, he'd likely be at least a Worshiper in the future.
Even some of the Worshipers in the Worship Hall didn't possess a 100,000-year spirit ring.
"Tell me, what skills did this spirit ring grant you?" Qianxunji asked.
Unable to conceal his excitement, Gui Mei said, "Your Holiness, this spirit ring has condensed two spirit skills for me."
"The first is Infinite Ghost Bombardment. With sufficient spirit power, I can create countless ghosts to bombard my enemies. My ghosts can ignore physical defenses and attack the spiritual realm," Gui Mei said.
"A spiritual skill, huh? What about the second spirit skill?" Qian Xun Ji asked.
"This..." Gui Mei hesitated.
Qian Xun Ji said, "Speak."
"My second spirit skill is Soul Domination," Gui Mei said. "This spirit skill grants me the power to control the souls of the deceased. I can extract their souls and use them as puppets, or devour and refine them to enhance my strength."
After saying this, Gui Mei looked at Qian Xun Ji cautiously.
This spirit skill he had developed perfectly met the definition of an evil spirit master, and the Spirit Hall had zero tolerance for evil spirit masters.
Qianxunji laughed and said, "If that's what you're worried about, Elder Guimei, you don't have to worry. Have you forgotten my good disciple's martial soul? An evil soul master isn't just someone with an evil martial soul. Power itself isn't good or bad; it depends on the person using it. If you abuse this power, then you're an evil soul master."
Guimei smiled with relief and said, "Your Holiness, I will never abuse this power of yours. Even if I do, it will become a sharp blade in your hands."
Qianxunji nodded in satisfaction. He suddenly had a plan for Guimei.
"Okay, it's your turn." Qianxunji looked at Yueguan and said, "Now you know what to do, right?"
Yueguan nodded and said, "Your Holiness, Yueguan understands."
With that, Yueguan sat cross-legged, took out the soul ring bead, and began to refine and absorb it.
Qianxunji watched Yueguan change.
Absorbing spirit rings under ten thousand years old only depends on physical fitness, but for spirit rings over ten thousand years old, there will be a shock to the soul. Therefore, absorbing spirit rings with higher ages depends on two aspects: one is physical fitness, and the other is the spiritual level.
Yueguan and Guimei, one possesses the indestructible Qirong Tongtianju (Chrysanthemum), a spirit capable of cultivating Vajra, as their martial spirit, while the other possesses Guimei. Of the two, Yueguan's physical prowess is superior, while Guimei's spiritual prowess is superior. However, Guimei possesses three spirit bones, while Yueguan only has two, given by Qianxunji. This raises questions about whether he can withstand a 100,000-year spirit ring.
Under the watchful eyes of Guimei and Qianxunji, Yueguan's absorbed spirit ring reached the ten-thousand-year mark.
Guimei began to struggle at ninety thousand years, but Yueguan's struggles began at eighty-five thousand years.
Ninety-thousand, ninety-one thousand, ninety-two thousand.
"Hold on, Chrysanthemum!" Guimei said.
Yueguan remained silent, gritted his teeth, and nodded.
He hadn't anticipated the disparity between him and Guimei, despite only one spirit bone.
But whether to repay the Pope or for his own future, Yueguan couldn't allow his spirit rings to remain below a hundred thousand years.
Finally, with Yue Guan's gritted teeth and persevered, the black spirit ring transformed into a red, 100,000-year spirit ring. It persisted for a long time before coming to a stop.
100,400 years—the final age of Yue Guan's spirit ring. He was a bit behind Gui Mei, but at the 100,000-year mark, the gap wasn't that big.
Yue Guan opened his eyes, looked at the last of his spirit rings, and excitedly embraced Gui Mei.
"Old Ghost, see? I also have a 100,000-year spirit ring."
"Alright, Ju Hua Guan, stop disgusting me. Tell me about your spirit skills," Gui Mei said.
Ju Hua Guan reluctantly let go of Gui Mei, then felt his own spirit skills: "This is..."
"What's wrong?" Qian Xun Ji asked.
Yue Guan immediately unleashed his spirit form, a chrysanthemum blossoming. Immediately, a golden domain was released, enveloping Gui Mei and Qian Xun Ji.
"This is a domain," Guimei exclaimed in shock.
"Your Holiness, this is my domain, the Golden Chrysanthemum Domain. Any member of our team who enters my domain will be enveloped by an indestructible golden shield. This shield is formed by the domain itself. Without breaking the domain or consuming my spirit power, it's difficult to break through my golden defense," Yueguan said.
"I'm jealous," Guimei said enviously.
"A defensive domain is quite good," Qianxunji nodded.
This domain is decent, but not top-notch. If Yueguan had infinite spirit power, our team members would be indestructible within the domain's coverage. However, he doesn't have infinite spirit power after all. Perhaps this domain would be more effective in defending against some of Tang San's hidden weapons.
After absorbing the 100,000-year spirit ring, Yueguan and Guimei both reached level 92, officially becoming Titled Douluo.
"Confirm your titles. I will inform the Worship Hall and crown you."
"Your Holiness, my title is a single character: Chrysanthemum," Yueguan said.
"Your Holiness, my title is a single word: Ghost," said the ghost.
