Ten-Thousand-Year First Soul Ring

At just six years old, before he had even obtained a Soul Ring, he could injure a Titled Douluo.

No one would have dared believe such a feat if they heard of it.

After all, it was too fantastical to believe.

Yet today, it had actually happened.

This miracle had been created by Qian Guxing!

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were deeply shaken.

Ling Yuan Douluo became even more certain that Qian Guxing was a little monster.

Hu Liena's heart was almost filled to bursting with Qian Guxing. He was handsome, strong, and overbearing in the way he acted—he struck right at her heart.

The only pity was that he was too young.

But Hu Liena could afford to wait. She discreetly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and grinned foolishly at Qian Guxing in Bibi Dong's arms.

As for the reward Bibi Dong had mentioned, Qian Guxing had nothing in particular he wanted. He thought carefully for a moment, then said:

"Staying in the Pope's Palace is too stifling. From now on, I'd like some time every day to go out and have fun in Spirit City, and visit my old companions while I'm at it."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Given Qian Guxing's talent, she truly couldn't feel at ease if he was out of her sight. But he would only be in Spirit City, and Ling Yuan would be protecting him personally, so nothing should go wrong. She nodded.

"Very well. From now on, you can go out for an hour every day to relax."

Having gotten the reward he wanted, Qian Guxing smiled. He finally had time to go out alone and claim the system rewards of forces and followers that had been piling up for so long.

He could also begin putting some plans into motion.

"Let's go. We'll rest here tonight and enter the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had backed down, so Bibi Dong brought Qian Guxing and the rest of the Spirit Hall party inside to stay.

Qian Guxing still shared a room with Bibi Dong. While she went to bathe, he claimed his Everlasting Spring Art reward.

As expected of an immortal cultivation technique, a vast and profound body of knowledge about the technique poured straight into Qian Guxing's mind. His comprehension had now reached eighty-one points, enough to make him a super genius, so understanding it was no trouble.

In just a few moments, Qian Guxing had grasped the basics. He sat cross-legged and drew in the Soul Power drifting around him, cultivating according to the Everlasting Spring Art's circulation route through the meridians.

He seemed to transform into a giant ancient tree, emanating a pure, natural presence that resonated with the laws of nature. Countless streams of gentle Soul Power circulated through his flesh, organs, and dantian in a profound rhythm.

Touched by the presence of nature, his Soul Power became balanced and tranquil, with a lingering resonance. Its quality rose more than tenfold!

As a low-level immortal cultivation technique, the Everlasting Spring Art was characterized by its affinity with nature, its ability to prolong life, and the greater staying power it gave the spiritual power within the body.

Here in the Douluo World, it resonated with Qian Guxing's Ancient Tree of Nature Martial Soul and worked in tandem with his True Essence Dao Body, an immortal cultivation Martial Soul, producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

This sent the quality of Qian Guxing's Soul Power soaring.

The total amount remained unchanged, but the improvement in quality also increased his endurance in another way.

Qian Guxing had now truly become a Soul Power monster—the kind who could unleash skills in battle without worrying about running out.

But the real surprise the Everlasting Spring Art brought Qian Guxing was its ability to accelerate the True Essence Dao Body's condensation of True Essence.

After all, True Essence was far higher in grade than Soul Power. If he could convert all the Soul Power in his body into True Essence, then condense that True Essence into a core...

Qian Guxing might be able to wield combat strength equal to a true god's while still in the mortal world!

"The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art tempers my body, the Everlasting Spring Art improves the quality of my Soul Power and refines True Essence, and the True Dragon Visualization Method cultivates my spirit. I'm not lacking anything now!"

The corners of Qian Guxing's mouth curled upward. His cultivation foundation was now firmly laid. From here on, he only needed to add bricks and tiles to it to reach heights others wouldn't even dare imagine.

At that moment, Bibi Dong came out of the room after her bath. She wore silk pajamas, and a faint mist of moisture rose from her body, her graceful figure half visible beneath them.

Noticing Qian Guxing stealing glances at her, Bibi Dong smiled faintly and reached out to pull him into her arms, burying Qian Guxin directly in her ample and generous bosom.

Bibi Dong greedily inhaled the natural scent on Qian Guxing's body. It let her feel a peace she hadn't known in a long time, like a cat rubbing against catnip.

Qian Guxing looked utterly helpless. Meeting a temptress like Bibi Dong at an age when he had the desire but not the ability was sheer torment.

In Bibi Dong's embrace, Qian Guxing drifted into soft dreams.

Early the next morning.

The Soul Hunting party set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.

With the Pope leading them in person, three Titled Douluo accompanying her, and several hundred elite Soul Masters, the group could have been going to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Yet a party of this size had been assembled merely to hunt Qian Guxing's first and Second Soul Rings.

Upon arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Guxing felt a presence of nature far richer than anywhere else.

Nature encompassed all things: wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, as well as all living beings.

As a habitat for Soul Beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest had remained primeval, largely untouched by human destruction. Its presence of nature was therefore richer.

The Ancient Tree of Nature Martial Soul stirred restlessly.

After the party had ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Guxing said to Bibi Dong:

"Teacher, my Martial Soul is acting strangely."

Bibi Dong's expression grew grave at his words. She knew Qian Guxing's Martial Soul was extraordinary. Because of him, even the Rakshasa God, who had tormented her in the past, had given up on tormenting her, granted her a God Trial reward, and given her a God Trial to protect Qian Guxing.

So now that Qian Guxing's Martial Soul was acting strangely, something extraordinary was bound to happen.

"Have you sensed a suitable Soul Beast?" Bibi Dong asked with concern.

"No."

Qian Guxing shook his head, climbed down from Bibi Dong's arms, and sat cross-legged.

"Teacher, it's hard to explain in a few words. I'll follow my Martial Soul's instincts first. Please protect me."

Bibi Dong nodded and immediately ordered the two Titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, to spread out and stand guard, while she and Ling Yuan stayed close to protect Qian Guxing.

After nearly half a month, the day had finally come to condense his Soul Ring, and Qian Guxing was looking forward to it.

With his body strengthened by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art,

and his spirit trained by the True Dragon Visualization Method,

Qian Guxing's thousand-year first Soul Ring was already a nail hammered into the board.

He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and the Ancient Tree of Nature Martial Soul appeared behind him.

The Ancient Tree of Nature seemed to blot out the sky and sun. Its trunk shone with the emerald luster of glazed jade, and countless leaves swayed in harmony with the laws of nature, appearing profoundly mysterious.

Bibi Dong, Ling Yuan, Chrysanthemum, and Ghost, the four Titled Douluo, needed only a single glance to feel its extraordinary mystery and gain a slightly deeper understanding of nature.

At the same time, the Ancient Tree of Nature stirred the power of nature throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest, drawing it toward Qian Guxing in a frenzy.

A white Soul Ring rose from beneath Qian Guxing's feet.

A self-condensed Soul Ring!

Bibi Dong and the others were shaken and utterly astonished.

Something that happened only to transformed Soul Beasts had actually happened to Qian Guxing.

But before Bibi Dong and the others had time to think further,

the white Soul Ring rapidly deepened in color, turning yellow in an instant before transforming from yellow to purple.

And it raced onward toward purple tinged with black!
