Soul Ring Self-Generation

The match ended, and the victor had been decided.

Tang San's acquisition of the soul ring proceeded without further complications. Meng Yiran lost to Tang San once again. Everyone had expected her to fly into a rage from humiliation, but instead, feelings had somehow blossomed between them. Before leaving, her red lips lightly touched his, gifting Tang San with a kiss.

Tang San blushed furiously, while Dai Mubai and the others turned green with envy. Meng Yiran was a stunning beauty, after all.

"Xiao San, you're unbelievably lucky." Ma Hongjun's face was full of envy and jealousy.

"Exactly, exactly." Dai Mubai and Oscar nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing the way they acted, Ning Rongrong muttered to herself off to the side, "Hmph, men are all pigs."

Zhao Wuji had a headache. With one slap each, he sent the people crowding around Tang San flying. "Enough. Let Xiao San absorb the soul ring quickly. At this rate, the soul ring is about to dissipate."

Tang San nodded and sat down cross-legged to absorb the soul ring. His expression was somewhat solemn. Only after taking a deep breath and adjusting his condition did he slowly begin.

Hermione glanced at the Man Faced Demon Spider a few times, then said softly to Zhao Xuan with some hesitation, "This Man Faced Demon Spider seems to be quite old. It looks like it has already exceeded the ideal age limit Master mentioned for a third soul ring."

"I know." Zhao Xuan's expression remained calm as he answered indifferently.

Hermione frowned slightly at his words and could not help asking, "Then why didn't you stop Tang San?"

"Do you think it would have worked?" Zhao Xuan sighed softly.

Something had just happened to Xiao Wu, and she was still missing. Xiao San's desire for strength was probably greater than ever before. Although Xiao San was usually easygoing, once he made up his mind, not even three oxen could drag him back.

Hermione froze, then nodded gently. She looked at Tang San, unable to bear the sight.

Zhao Xuan did not think much of it. Though Tang San only occasionally dragged him along to listen to Master's lectures, he had still learned quite a bit. Even if this Man Faced Demon Spider was older than expected, it could not be by much. Tang San was no ordinary person either. This soul ring absorption might be alarming, but it should not be dangerous.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji was cautiously trying to strike up a conversation with the great Li Qing. Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others excitedly gathered around him, while the girls watched with great interest. After all, these were living, breathing Titled Douluo!

With Li Qing present, Zhao Xuan was not worried that anyone would disturb Tang San's absorption of the soul ring. Moreover, he had yet to thoroughly understand his own power after his breakthrough, so he sat down cross-legged not far from the group.

Within the Sea of Consciousness was a brilliant expanse. The resplendent violet-gold space was sacred and inviolable; even the surrounding chaos could not taint it in the slightest.

Zhao Xuan's Nascent Soul sat within it, holding the so-called "Creation" and "All Things."

Without any warning, Zhao Xuan's Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes. A flash of lightning flickered through them.

Zhao Xuan looked to either side, his gaze finally settling to the right. He stared at the computer beside him in confusion. What exactly did this Creation mean?

As though answering Zhao Xuan's confusion, the computer suddenly collapsed into a stream of light. Countless tiny runes flickered within it, and when Zhao Xuan focused his gaze, he discovered that they were all 0s and 1s.

The stream of light shifted continuously, evolving all manner of things before Zhao Xuan: clouds, grass and trees, rivers and seas, lions and tigers, light and darkness... Whether they truly existed in reality or were intangible illusions, all of them could be evolved one by one.

Zhao Xuan was stunned, his expression strange.

These 0s and 1s were like the yin and yang within the Taiji. They possessed a similar wonder to the transformations of yin and yang, seemingly capable of evolving all things in the world.

"Can it evolve a soul ring?" Zhao Xuan suddenly wondered. After undergoing a transformation and condensing his Nascent Soul, his Soul Power had explosively increased, and he had already reached the level forty bottleneck.

Who would have thought that it seemed to possess spirituality?

The stream of light transformed back into a computer and landed at his right. The phone at his left suddenly manifested three soul rings. Before Zhao Xuan's dumbfounded eyes, they automatically collapsed into a shower of light. The light gathered into a gentle stream and flowed into the computer. The computer screen lit up for the first time, countless inexplicable 0s and 1s flashing across it. Then the stream flowed out once more, reforming into soul rings that settled around the phone.

Zhao Xuan blinked. That was it?

The next moment, the originally stable violet-gold space suddenly began to tremble. Like a curtain being pulled down by a hand, the entire violet-gold space surged toward the computer.

The computer screen flickered again. The endless 0s and 1s were dizzying to behold. The violet-gold space around him grew smaller and smaller, until Zhao Xuan could even feel the oppressive force of the surrounding chaos.

Memories from his previous life surged forth again. Zhao Xuan broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively shouted, "Stop!"

The trembling violet-gold space abruptly fell still. Compared to before, the entire violet-gold space had shrunk by nearly nine-tenths. Zhao Xuan's Nascent Soul suddenly felt an unusual exhaustion.

"So this is my spiritual power." Zhao Xuan suddenly understood.

Fortunately, the Nascent Soul was constantly producing spiritual power. The violet-gold space could continue growing in the future. At the same time, if this violet-gold space vanished, his Nascent Soul would be oppressed by chaos. This was probably the legendary "spiritual backlash."

Zhao Xuan's Nascent Soul looked awkwardly at the numbers still flickering nonstop on the computer. Just what were you doing after using so much spiritual power?

Just as Zhao Xuan was feeling puzzled, the computer screen suddenly went dark. Then a stream of light emerged from the computer and formed a faintly blackish-purple soul ring before him.

As though sensing it, the phone instantly absorbed the soul ring.

At the same time, a piece of information appeared in Zhao Xuan's mind...

Fourth Soul Skill—Eternal Time.

It could record one soul skill it had seen and transform it into his own soul skill. It could only record one soul skill at a time and could be reshaped once every seven days. The skill's power depended on his own strength.

Zhao Xuan froze. It really could evolve a soul ring for him?!

Before he could even rejoice, a stern shout from the real world jolted him awake.

"Who is it?!" Li Qing roared.

Zhao Xuan opened his eyes and saw everyone looking alert, their gazes fixed firmly on a patch of bushes. The bushes shook, and then a figure stumbled out.

"Xiao Wu?" everyone cried out in delight.

Zhao Xuan stood up, thrilled yet horrified. Damn, how did she escape from the Titan Giant Ape's hands?

Li Qing walked to Zhao Xuan's side and asked with a frown, "This is the friend who was taken by the Titan Giant Ape? Are you certain she was taken by the Titan Giant Ape?"

Zhao Xuan was equally baffled. Xiao Wu had indeed been taken by the Titan Giant Ape. How could a Soul Elder escape from the hands of a Titan Giant Ape? What was going on?

Zhao Xuan walked over just in time to hear Xiao Wu say that the Titan Giant Ape had been scared off by a bull's roar.

"Senior, this..." Zhao Xuan turned toward Li Qing with a bewildered expression.

Li Qing stroked his chin. "As far as I know, there is a hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python deep within the Star Dou Great Forest. Could it have been that one? But that's very strange..."

Logically speaking, a Titan Giant Ape nearing one hundred thousand years of cultivation should not fear the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Xiao Wu continued explaining. Though there were many doubts, it was still good that she had returned.

Zhao Xuan let out a long breath of relief...
