Sword Healing Rewards: A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring

Early the next morning.

Ning Rongrong woke up early.

Without disturbing Zhu Zhuqing's sleep, she continued with the Healing Sword.

Last time, she had already used the Healing Sword over 9,600 times.

With a little effort today, she could use the Healing Sword 10,000 times and complete the task before morning classes.

Whoosh-

The Ten Treasures Glazed Sword appeared, its entire length shimmering with emerald-green light.

Compared to the Ten Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the light of the Ten Treasures Glazed Sword was purer and more translucent, like a unique color that had cut through space, one that belonged to neither of the seven colors.

The sight was immensely stunning.

Holding the Ten Treasures Glazed Sword in one hand and controlling the rise and fall of her Soul Power with the other, Ning Rongrong had her eyes painted emerald green by its light, even her pupils taking on the same color.

If anyone had seen her, they might have thought a celestial maiden had descended to the mortal world, so breathtaking was her beauty.

But the Douluo World had no such thing as celestial maidens.

She would probably be taken for a divine maiden instead.

Ning Rongrong clearly only had level twenty-six Soul Power, yet she had the looks and bearing of a divine maiden. Who would believe it if word got out?

"9,996."

"9,998."

"9,999."

"10,000."

"Huh? Why isn't it complete?"

"Did the system trick me?"

"10,001..."

After using the Healing Sword for a little over an hour, finally, whoosh—

As a beam of golden light surged into her mind, Ning Rongrong completed the task of using the Healing Sword 10,000 times.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the task—use the Healing Sword 10,000 times."

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host, on receiving your reward."

"All of the host's attributes have increased slightly."

"Base attack increased, base defense increased, base speed increased, base Soul Power recovery increased, base stamina increased..."

The first reward she received in her mind was an increase in attributes. Although it didn't show exactly how much they had increased, it was certainly useful.

What's more, it was an increase to her base attributes.

That was especially important.

Why was that?

To give an example...

Ning Rongrong's previous boosts to attack and speed had all come from using Soul Skills. If she didn't use them, those boosts didn't exist.

If someone happened to be able to stop her from using Soul Skills, she would be no more than a super minion, just a little better at fighting than an ordinary person.

But now that her base attributes had increased.

Even without using Soul Skills in the future, she could still be considerably stronger than ordinary people.

To give another example...

She was now a super minion with the Baron buff.

And she had that buff all the time.

She might still be a minion, but that was already a huge qualitative change, wasn't it?

Add her own Soul Skills to that.

And she was a buffed super minion with skills.

"Of course, the rewards for using the Healing Sword get richer the further along I go. I wasn't expecting anything great for 10,000 times. Besides, the other reward for using the Healing Sword 10,000 times is the important one."

Ning Rongrong wasn't dissatisfied this time.

She knew that none of the system's improvements were useless. Even a slight improvement would be a qualitative change for her.

Especially with her Soul Power Level being low, even a small increase to each attribute could put her in an invincible position against Soul Masters of the same level, and even give her the upper hand when fighting above her level.

If she and Dai Mubai were to relive what happened yesterday.

She even felt she could take Dai Mubai's punch without using a Soul Skill.

There was no point thinking about it further. It was time to look at the other reward.

"The host may choose one of the following rewards."

"One: forcibly add 10,000 years to the true age of any Soul Ring."

"Two: obtain a random 10,000-year Soul Ring."

"Please make your choice, host."

"Option two," Ning Rongrong said decisively.

Her Soul Power Level was currently twenty-six, and she would soon reach level thirty. She needed a Soul Ring to help her break through.

Besides, she knew there were many ways to forcibly increase the true age of her Soul Rings, so she didn't place much importance on doing it this time.

By contrast, she had very few ways to obtain Soul Rings.

After all, she had a system.

Surely she couldn't have to go out and hunt Soul Beasts just to get a Soul Ring, could she?

That would be far too lacking in face.

If its age wasn't good enough, she could slowly stack more years onto it later.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining a 10,000-year Soul Ring."

"Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring: Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Soul Ring.

An absolute powerhouse from the Battle Through the Heavens Continent in another world. Though its ending was less than ideal, it was rejuvenated after becoming a Soul Ring.

Soul Ring trait: unwillingness to accept defeat.

Absolutely compatible with the host. Ignores the host's Soul Power Level and can be absorbed at any Soul Power breakthrough stage."

See? Now that's a pleasant surprise.

She had just been worried that absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level thirty would be troublesome, and the system had taken the initiative to solve the problem.

Wasn't this better than going to all the trouble of hunting a Soul Beast a few thousand years old?

"Ding~"

"As the host's current Soul Power Level is insufficient to absorb the Soul Ring, it will automatically be placed in the host's spatial soul tool, Glazed Tile."

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the spatial soul tool, Glazed Tile."

"..."

See...

Another pleasant surprise.

It even gave me a spatial soul tool for free.

Sometimes, if you don't push the system, you never know what it can give you.

Ning Rongrong withdrew her Ten Treasures Glazed Sword Martial Soul and examined her body. She saw a glazed tile bracelet on her left wrist, shimmering with a faint green light.

Oh, the bracelet is made of glazed tile, so that's why it's called Glazed Tile?

It's simple, but it suits my Martial Soul.

Forget it. I won't change it.

Ning Rongrong smiled. Today was another day of major gains. Although her Soul Power Level was still stuck at twenty-six, what she had obtained was more precious than her Soul Power Level.

She climbed leisurely out of bed and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's bed out of habit, only to find that Zhu Zhuqing had woken up at some point.

Zhu Zhuqing was lying lazily on her bed, her chin propped up on her two fair arms, staring at her without moving her eyes.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help finding it funny. "What's wrong, little darling Zhuqing? Is there a flower on my face?"

Sure enough, the Zhu Zhuqing described in the original work was the Zhu Zhuqing seen through Tang San's eyes.

But as Zhu Zhuqing's roommate, Ning Rongrong found her so cute that she was no less cute than Ning Rongrong herself.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head without speaking. Instead, she quickly got up and went to stand beside Ning Rongrong before saying, "I was just wondering, can your cultivation method shape your figure too?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ning Rongrong's proud assets. "They've gotten quite a bit bigger. Haven't you noticed?"

"..."

"That heavy feeling."

"..."

"Be good. From now on, you should be a cool, aloof beauty. Don't gossip all day!" Ning Rongrong flicked Zhu Zhuqing's nose and spoke in exasperation.

"Do I have to be cool and aloof around you too?" Zhu Zhuqing stuck out her tongue and teased her.

"Uh-forget it, then." Ning Rongrong gave a helpless smile. She had no resistance to Zhu Zhuqing at all. It had been true before, and it was even more so now.

Seeing that the sky was beginning to brighten, Ning Rongrong added, "Come on, let's hurry and wash up. Class is about to start."
