Repairing this almost completely broken artifact only requires 100,000 hammer blows, which couldn't be simpler!
Moreover, no skills are required; you can just type it out without thinking!
And so, Beichen picked up the hammer and began to beat the Ring of Life.
[Life Ring Repair Progress +0.0001]
[Life Ring Repair Progress +0.0001]
[Life Ring Repair Progress +0.0001]
...
After a night of hammering, the Ring of Life has been repaired to 2%.
The appearance of the Ring of Life has also changed. It was originally covered in rust, but now the rust has been reduced by more than half, and its luster has become much brighter.
To Bei Chen's astonishment, the life force contained within the Life Ring was much stronger than before, and even the storage space inside had more than doubled in size.
Keep in mind, this is only a 2% fix!
If it were to be fully repaired, Bei Chen couldn't even imagine the extent to which it would reach.
He took up the Ring of Life and used the Eye of Insight to examine the information.
[Name: Ring of Life]
[Current Rank: Artifact (Not Fully Repaired)]
Repair progress: 2%
Night fell quickly, and Beichen, exhausted from a long day, drifted off to sleep.
...
The next day arrived, and as dawn broke, Beichen got up early to start forging iron.
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
The sound of hammering echoed from Beichen's room.
"Beichen!"
Soon, Bei Chen heard someone calling him from outside the room.
So he put away his hammer, wiped the sweat from his brow, and prepared to open the door.
Suddenly, a tremendous force came from outside the door, and the wooden door was smashed open.
Ning Rongrong, who had just appeared, rushed up to Bei Chen.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Beichen, I've broken through to level ten! I'm a genius after all, and I'm afraid it won't be long before I surpass you."
Ning Rongrong was overjoyed and showed off her strength; she originally only had innate level nine soul power.
However, upon hearing that Bei Chen had actually awakened innate level 30 soul power, he was filled with fighting spirit.
After the Martial Soul event ended, he immediately returned to his room and quickly meditated to increase his soul power.
Hard work pays off!
Just an hour ago, her soul power successfully broke through to level ten. Without even telling her father, she rushed to Bei Chen's side to show off.
"Rongrong is amazing, she broke through to level 10 so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Bei Chen looked at Ning Rongrong with surprise, not expecting that her soul power level would break through to the next level so quickly.
It seems I underestimated Ning Rongrong's talent.
The main reason why Ning Rongrong's strength improved so slowly in the original novel was probably because she was quite playful.
Bei Chen did not tell Ning Rongrong his true soul power, so as not to dampen her ambition.
"Rongrong, don't forget, you're my follower now. From now on, you'll have to call me Brother Chen."
Suddenly, Bei Chen looked at Ning Rongrong's fair face and said with a half-smile, "I like Ning Rongrong's silly look."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong glared angrily at Bei Chen. She had indeed lost the bet and couldn't go back on her word.
Calling him "Brother Chen" felt a bit awkward, but I couldn't break my promise no matter what, so I stammered, "Brother Chen..."
"Let's go. Now that you've broken through to level ten, it's time to take you to get a soul ring. Go tell Grandpa Sword now."
Bei Chen laughed heartily after seeing Ning Rongrong's hesitant expression, and then got straight to the point, helping Ning Rongrong obtain her first spirit ring.
"That's great, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong completely forgot her previous emotions and skipped towards the door.
She couldn't wait to acquire her first spirit ring, increase her strength, and surpass Bei Chen as soon as possible.
...
The council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Rongrong, you're not kidding, your soul power has already broken through to level ten."
Ning Fengzhi, whose face was full of kindness, was immediately surprised when he heard Ning Rongrong's words.
He didn't hear wrong, did he?
Rongrong has actually broken through to the first level of soul power, and it seems that less than five days have passed since she awakened her martial soul.
It's unbelievable that you broke through to level one soul power so quickly!
Careful sensing of the soul power within Ning Rongrong's body confirmed that there was no mistake.
Ning Fengzhi smiled proudly, not expecting Rongrong's talent to be so terrifying. He turned to look at Beichen beside her and nodded with even greater satisfaction.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has produced two geniuses in this generation, which will make the school increasingly powerful.
"Rongrong is indeed the best. Today, Grandpa Jian will take you to obtain a soul ring."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, who were standing to the side, were also overjoyed. They hadn't expected Ning Rongrong's soul power to break through so quickly.
"Okay, Grandpa Sword, I'm going to absorb a spirit ring now. You must hunt down a high-age spirit beast for me."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's bright eyes shone with an unusual light, and she immediately began to dance with excitement.
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and smiled calmly.
Generally speaking, a Soul Master's first Soul Ring lasts for about four hundred years, but Bei Chen is an exception and cannot be judged by common sense.
Moreover, Ning Rongrong's martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Support-type soul masters have relatively weak physical strength, which will greatly reduce their ability to withstand high-age soul rings.
For safety reasons, Ning Rongrong definitely cannot be given a spirit ring that exceeds her own capacity.
"Let's go, Rongrong, I'll take you to Sunset Forest to get a Soul Ring."
Suddenly, Sword Douluo took Ning Rongrong's small hand and said with a loving expression.
The spirit rings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit are quite easy to obtain, and the spirit skills are almost fixed.
Unlike the spirit beasts required by the Beichen Martial Soul, which are all high-level spirit beasts with life attributes and extremely rare in the Sunset Forest, perhaps only the Star Dou Great Forest can meet the conditions for the Life Ancient Tree spirit ring.
"Grandpa Sword, I want to go and take a look too, and learn more about soul beasts."
Upon hearing Sword Douluo's words, Bei Chen's eyes lit up, and he actually went to Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts.
Immediately, an idea popped into Bei Chen's mind, and he hurriedly revealed his purpose for wanting to go.
At the very heart of Sunset Forest lies the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dugu Bo has become the master of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
No matter what, he had to get his hands on the immortal herb in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
It contains many precious medicinal herbs, which have a significant effect on improving the overall strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
He didn't want Dugu Bo to occupy a prime piece of land without using it.
Moreover, Bei Chen's goal for this trip was also to obtain the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
If he could consume these two top-grade immortal herbs, he could definitely greatly improve his physical strength and soul power level.
"Alright, let's go!"
Upon hearing Bei Chen's request, Sword Douluo paused slightly, then nodded in agreement.
There aren't many powerful spirit beasts in Sunset Forest, and his strength is enough to protect Bei Chen and Ning Rongrong.
