Is Your System Mall Guaranteed to Work?

"The higher the age of a Soul Ring, the more Soul Power it contains. I plan to temper my body for a few more years and strive to attach a Soul Ring over five thousand years old as my First Soul Ring. The Soul Power contained in a five-thousand-year Soul Ring should be enough to raise me to level 20. If it isn't enough, I'll cultivate more Soul Power. Once I reach level 20, I'll continue tempering my body and directly attach a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as my Second Soul Ring. Even if that doesn't raise me to level 30, it should come close."

The higher one's Soul Power Level, the more Soul Power was needed to break through to the next level. In the original story, Oscar broke through to level 30 one day and went hunting for a Soul Ring the next. Even if he cultivated on the road, the Soul Power he had accumulated should not have been enough to raise him by another level. Yet after attaching an eighteen-hundred-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, the Soul Power contained within the ring pushed him to level 31.

If it had been absorbed directly at level 10, it would probably have raised him to at least level 15, perhaps even level 16.

Wasn't Tang Hao able to rise directly from level 90 to level 95 after accepting the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice? Although Tang San only rose from level 60 to level 66 when he accepted a sacrifice, that was because his physique was insufficient and most of the Soul Power was used to nourish his body. Besides, Xiao Wu had not yet reached the Maturity Stage at level 70, so her cultivation could not compare to the Blue Silver Emperor's.

Aside from sacrifices, there were also the examples of Bibi Dong and Tang San attaching Soul Rings to their Second Martial Souls and thereby increasing their Soul Power Levels.

Moreover, wasn't the reason people exploded while absorbing Soul Rings simply that the rings contained too much Soul Power to be absorbed immediately, causing their bodies to fail under the strain and explode?

(This is merely speculation. If you readers really can't accept it, then just treat it as a system cheat.)

"Mm..." Bibi Dong pondered for a moment. "Since you're confident, we'll proceed according to your plan for now. But remember to be careful."

"Don't worry, Teacher. But I have another idea. Even if someone's physique doesn't meet the standard, they could still absorb higher-age Soul Rings with the help of a Healing Soul Master." Ye Kai thought about it. Spirit Hall had no corresponding records, but theoretically, it was feasible.

"As long as a sufficiently powerful Healing Soul Master continuously repairs their body before it explodes, they should be able to absorb high-age Soul Rings. However, during the process, the absorber's body would be continuously torn apart and healed, then torn apart and healed again. They would suffer immense pain."

As soon as Ye Kai voiced this theory, everyone present froze.

"However, this method carries considerable risks. I was thinking that we could use some Death Row Prisoners, or capture a few Fallen next time and bring them back for experiments. It would count as contributing to the advancement of Soul Masters. If it truly works, we could provide it to the students of the Elite class in the future."

Although the Soul Spirit System—or rather, an improved Soul Spirit System—was the true path forward, even with Bibi Dong's favor allowing him to conduct Soul Spirit experiments within Spirit Hall, he was not qualified to go to the Star Dou Great Forest and reach an agreement with Di Tian and the others. Forget Bibi Dong alone; even if Grand Elder Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong joined forces, they would likely have no path but defeat against Di Tian. Not to mention the other Ferocious Beasts in the Core Region.

Besides, he was not that charmer Huo Yuhao. Although the Tree of Life made his Spiritual Power extremely strong, it would probably be difficult for him to gain the trust of Soul Beasts and turn them into his Soul Spirits the way Douluo's favored son had.

Wait, Lord of Plants. In this timeline, there really was a highly significant Plant-Type Soul Beast that could become his Soul Spirit.

Still, this matter required careful investigation, especially the truth of what had happened back then. If certain things truly existed, he would have no guilt about making a move.

"Your idea is indeed feasible. I'll leave this matter to Elders Gui Ju. If it truly works, Xiao Kai, you will become Spirit Hall's greatest contributor in its future conquest of the continent. I will have rewards for you then." Bibi Dong carefully considered Ye Kai's proposal. As he had said, it did seem feasible.

"Understood, Teacher. It's getting late, and I still have other training to do. I also haven't gone to the Library to continue reading today."

It was already noon. Because of his Martial Soul awakening that morning, Ye Kai had yet to complete his training goals for the day. He planned to first go to the Library and continue browsing the records, then complete his scheduled training.

"Ah, Xiao Kai, you aren't eating lunch?" Hu Liena had originally wanted to celebrate her junior brother's Innate Full Soul Power at noon, but this boy still wanted to train?

"I can just buy something to eat on the way. I haven't completed today's training plan, so I have to make good use of my time."

Hu Liena was about to say more when Bibi Dong interrupted from the side. "That's enough, Nana. Xiao Kai has his own plans, so don't interfere. Speaking of which, you've been slacking off in your cultivation lately. You need to work harder too, or Xiao Kai will surpass you... No, he has most likely already surpassed you."

Bibi Dong recalled how Ye Kai had defeated Yan with almost no effort just now. Given Hu Liena's current condition, she had virtually no chance of defeating Ye Kai.

"Mm... I understand, Teacher." Hu Liena also recalled the scene at the Training Field and resolved to cultivate twice as hard. She had to work to surpass Ye Kai, or would it not become her junior brother protecting his senior sister in the future? How could that do? A senior sister should be the one protecting her junior brother.

"Then go ahead, Xiao Kai. Come to Pope's Hall to see me after you finish training tonight," Bibi Dong instructed Ye Kai.

"Understood, Teacher. This disciple will take his leave." After receiving Bibi Dong's permission, Ye Kai turned and headed toward the Library.

System, open the mall.

A panel invisible to outsiders appeared before Ye Kai's eyes.

System, what does this Self-Created God Rank (Unrestricted) mean?

"Ding. The Douluo God Realm has not yet advanced. Restricted by the world's laws, it cannot advance further. In other words, a First-Class God will forever remain a First-Class God, and a Second-Class God will forever remain a Second-Class God."

"Meanwhile, (Unrestricted) can break those limitations and continue advancing. It can also free one from the restrictions of the God Realm, allowing one to travel to other worlds while retaining one's divine core and God Position. A self-created God King Position requires one hundred million Healer Points, a First-Class God requires forty million, and a Second-Class God requires ten million."

"Additionally, an extra feature is available. The host may spend half the Healer Points required to evolve an acquired restricted God Position into an unrestricted God Position."

Then how do I obtain these Healer Points?

"Ding. The base amount is determined by the cultivation of the healed creature. Ordinary people are worth 1,000, while Titled Douluo are worth 10,000. The severity of the injury and the degree of healing act as multipliers. Using the host's recent healing action as an example."

"The treatment target was level 23, with a base value of 3,000. The injury was minor, with a multiplier of 1. The treatment was completed, with a multiplier of 2. Therefore, the host received 6,000 points."

(Minor: 1, moderate: 2, severe: 3, critical: 4; treatment completed: 2, treatment incomplete: 1)

What the hell, this is such a scam. How many lifetimes would I have to heal people to get one hundred million?

"Ding. Healing Missions will be triggered randomly. Completing them will grant Healer Points."

Forget it, I'll take it slowly. If the Asura God King truly has his sights set on Tang San, then it will be the same if I upgrade after obtaining the Seagod Position on Sea God Island. But if there is a better successor, would the Asura God King still choose the chess piece he casually placed? Ye Kai put the matter aside and continued browsing the System Mall.

Wait, is your mall guaranteed to work? There isn't a single offensive skill?

Ye Kai searched through the entire System Mall, looking at the page full of healing skills as he complained.

"Ding. This system is the Super Healer System and only provides healing and support items."

Tch, looks like I can only rely on myself if I want to increase my combat strength.

Since he had decided to temper his body, he would use physical techniques as his means of attack. But how were the Navy Six Styles and Armament Haki trained again? Why hadn't he properly watched Pirate King Luffy back then? Wait, I'm already using Wood Release, so I might as well keep using the Eight Gates Formation. With Ultimate Life, I can fight while healing myself. Wouldn't that mean I could open the first seven gates whenever I wanted?
