The Ten Treasures Are Named: The Third Is Divine Soul
Her Identity Points had increased by two thousand, bringing her current total to three thousand two hundred and fifty.
Mm, she was another step closer to ten thousand points.
As for the increase in her Soul Power, it really was as fast as drinking water.
In just one week since arriving at Shrek Academy, her Soul Power Level had risen from level twenty-six to level thirty.
Ning Rongrong was very satisfied.
After hearing the system notification, she immediately decided to absorb the Soul Ring right there. "Zhuqing, darling, you go back first. I'm going to make a little breakthrough."
With that, she sat down cross-legged and activated Glazed as though no one else were around, releasing the Soul Ring she had just obtained.
That left everyone dumbfounded.
Oscar had still been telling everyone how delicious his Big Sausage was, Xiao Wu had still been urging Tang San to duel the dean, and Dai Mubai had still been wolfing down Big Sausages when they saw Ning Rongrong absorbing a Soul Ring on the spot.
"What the fuck? Where did that Soul Ring come from?" Oscar exclaimed as he ate his own Big Sausage.
"Could a Soul Beast have run into Shrek Academy?"
"But we haven't seen any creatures???"
Xiao Wu froze for a moment, saying nothing.
Tang San was surprised, but when he saw Xiao Wu's expression, he first turned his concern to her. "What's wrong, Xiao Wu? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..." Xiao Wu stared blankly at Ning Rongrong, her gaze complicated.
After all, as she understood it, only Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that had taken human form could break through without hunting Soul Beasts for Soul Rings. In other words, she herself didn't need to hunt Soul Beasts, but she hadn't expected that Ning Rongrong wouldn't need to either.
The difference, however, was that Xiao Wu didn't even need to absorb a Soul Ring, whereas Ning Rongrong did, and that left her a little confused.
At the side, Flender, whom Tang San had just pulled halfway up as he tried to get to his feet, nearly landed on his backside again when Tang San abruptly let go to ask Xiao Wu about it. Flender's temper flared at once.
What a fine young man, with no respect for his teachers and their teachings.
A perfect match for Ning Rongrong!
"What's this?" But when she saw the sudden change in Ning Rongrong, she too was startled.
Heavens above!
How could someone absorb a Soul Ring out of thin air?
There wasn't a single Soul Beast anywhere nearby, so where had the Soul Ring come from?
And wasn't it only possible to absorb a Soul Ring when breaking through in Soul Power Level?
Hadn't Ning Rongrong been only level twenty-six when she enrolled?
It had only been a few days, and she was already level thirty?
"Mubai," Flender ordered in a low voice, "slap Xiao Ao and see if we're dreaming."
Dai Mubai and Oscar said, "Huh?"
Dai Mubai smiled wryly. "Dean, there's no need for that. You're not dreaming. This Little Demoness really is absorbing a Soul Ring."
Oscar nodded gratefully and said, "Still, it's the first time I've seen anyone absorb a Soul Ring the way Rongrong does. I'm afraid no one has done it before, and no one will ever do it again. What do you think, Tang San?"
"I can only say that everyone cultivates differently." Tang San frowned deeply, feeling tremendous pressure. "Is she really from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Of course she is," Flender replied irritably. "I wish she weren't, but her father's..."
Watching the scene, none of them could bring themselves to believe that such a cultivation method existed.
She could obtain a Soul Ring without hunting a Soul Beast, and from the looks of it, the Soul Ring had been prepared in advance.
That meant Ning Rongrong had at least one container capable of storing Soul Rings, ready for whenever she needed one.
What a mysterious existence.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really wouldn't have wanted to see it.
It was too crushing a blow to their confidence.
Even Flender couldn't accept it.
This was fucking genius among geniuses.
Rather than envy, it was jealousy cranked to the limit.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong sat cross-legged, sensing the immense Soul Power contained within the Soul Ring as she slowly began to absorb it. Zhu Zhuqing stood nearby like a guardian, keeping anyone from approaching her.
The Ten Treasures Glazed Sword Martial Soul appeared abruptly before Ning Rongrong, and wisps of black light streamed into her Martial Soul. With the system's assistance, she encountered no obstacles in absorbing the Soul Ring, but it still took a little time.
Everyone stood there, seemingly curious about this new way of absorbing a Soul Ring.
It was only after about half an hour that they saw the black Soul Power around Ning Rongrong disperse and the blade of the Ten Treasures Glazed Sword return to its emerald-green color.
Only then did Ning Rongrong open her eyes.
But the pupils of those eyes seemed entirely renewed. Her brilliant eyes held a clear emerald green, beautiful and deep, as though they could see through everything in the world.
Dai Mubai couldn't help shuddering all over. He covered his lower body and said in a girlish voice, "Oh, stop it~"
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked, and their gazes toward Dai Mubai inevitably grew a little strange.
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ning Rongrong with pleasant surprise, "Rongrong, did you absorb the Soul Ring successfully?"
Ning Rongrong gave Zhu Zhuqing a slight nod and began examining her new Soul Ring and Soul Skill.
"When the Ten Treasures turn, Glazed emerges. The Ten Treasures are named, and the third is: Soul.
Grants the target a one-hundred-percent increase in Soul Power."
Mm.
A perfectly ordinary support skill.
But like the First Soul Skill, it granted a one-hundred-percent boost. After all, both came from Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
The Second Soul Skill, on the other hand, only granted an eighty-percent boost, because the Second Soul Ring was a Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
She read on.
"When the Ten Treasures turn, Glazed emerges. The Ten Treasures are named, and the third is: Divine Soul.
Grants the user a four-hundred-percent increase in Soul Power and Soul Power recovery.
Divine Soul trait: Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Array. Creates a circular array of light ten yards in diameter. Within the array, the target's existing Soul Power can be gradually absorbed and freely distributed to other targets within the array.
Note: The amount of Soul Power absorbed depends on the target's total Soul Power and Soul Power Level.
If the host is within the Soul-Seeking Array and the Soul-Seeking Array has acquired ample Soul Power, the host may break the array and release the Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Slash, inflicting mental trauma on the target.
Likewise, if the target breaks the array, the host will suffer a backlash.
Note: The Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Slash cannot affect the same target again within a short period of time."
"Well, damn."
"Lately, each Soul Skill description has been longer than the last."
Ning Rongrong sighed.
She looked over the paragraphs of descriptions, but still couldn't make sense of them.
She gave it a quick analysis.
In other words, the Third Soul Skill's Divine Soul trait could actively release a Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Array that absorbed an opponent's Soul Power. It could be used an unlimited number of times, but it had no means of attack, simply draining the opponent's Soul Power.
But if she could also enter the array and absorb the opponent's Soul Power until it reached a certain threshold, she would have two choices.
Either she broke the Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Array herself and released the Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Slash to attack the opponent's soul.
Or the opponent broke the Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Array and attacked her soul.
That was a mixed blessing.
"Either the opponent gets beaten into an idiot, or I get beaten into an idiot. Is that what it means?"
