Poison Element Control, the Shocked Qian Renxue and Dugu Bo

The cave was dim.

The Ink Green Mist that filled it created an even more eerie atmosphere.

At a certain moment, a pair of Emerald Green Eyes snapped open within, bursting with terrifying killing intent.

"Who dares kill my Flame Spring Silver Serpent? Courting death!"

In an instant, the figure that had spoken vanished.

Only the lingering killing intent proved that this was no illusion.

Killing intent spread wildly.

Purple Light flashed, yet the expression reflected on Qian Renxue's face was full of unease.

"How could this be? Is there really something wrong with this Soul Beast?"

Qian Renxue frowned, her eyes fixed tightly on Li Yu.

At this moment, Li Yu's entire body trembled without pause, and his aura was extremely chaotic.

Killing intent spilled from him uncontrollably as well.

He clearly looked as though he was suffering backlash.

"It's only a Two Thousand Year Soul Ring. Is that really necessary?"

Qian Renxue was both anxious and confused.

In her understanding, a Three Ring Soul Elder could easily absorb a Two Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The only thing that needed consideration was the compatibility between the Soul Ring and the martial soul.

And Li Yu's martial soul was clearly quite compatible with this Soul Ring.

Then why had this happened?

"Was my judgment wrong? Is he really just trash?"

Qian Renxue could not help beginning to doubt herself.

"Pfft!"

Just then, Li Yu, drenched in fragrant sweat, went pale and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterward, the flickering Purple Soul Ring finally drew in and aligned beside the other Two Yellow Soul Rings.

Qian Renxue finally let out a breath of relief at the sight.

Yet as the worry in her heart subsided, she began reevaluating Li Yu's talent.

However.

Just as she had already formed a new conclusion about Li Yu, the Soul Rings that had just settled down suddenly began trembling violently again!

"???"

Qian Renxue stared at the scene in utter bewilderment.

What was happening now?

Li Yu took in Qian Renxue's reaction and could not help laughing inwardly.

As a transmigrator, his Spiritual Power far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Absorbing a Soul Ring of merely around two thousand years was easy for him.

His performance just now had merely been to make what came next appear natural!

Of course, it was also to make Qian Renxue his witness.

That way, no one would question anything about him!

With that thought, he silently recited in his heart, "Allocate Five Hundred Years each to the first, second, and third Soul Rings!"

Confirm?

"Confirm!"

Allocating...

A system prompt flashed by.

Very soon, an inexplicable energy merged into Li Yu's three Soul Rings.

In but a moment.

The first and second Soul Rings began to change!

A faint purple tint gradually appeared over the originally yellow Soul Rings.

Then, in the blink of an eye, that faint purple began spreading before swallowing all the yellow!

In only a few breaths, the two yellow Soul Rings had transformed into purple ones.

The third Soul Ring, on the other hand, showed no change.

There was nothing surprising about that. It was already a Two Thousand Year Soul Ring, and an additional Five Hundred Years would not produce a qualitative transformation.

Allocation complete!

Level: 31

Free Allocation Years: 0

Soul Rings

First Soul Ring, purple (1,000 years)

Water Element Control: Can control the power of water elements. Water Element Affinity increased by 60%

Second Soul Ring, purple (1,000 years)

Fire Element Control: Can control the power of fire elements. Fire Element Affinity increased by 60%

Third Soul Ring, purple (2,600 years)

Poison Element Control: Can control the power of poison elements. Poison Element Affinity increased by 60%

The allocation was quickly completed.

Looking at the automatically displayed panel after the allocation, Li Yu was somewhat surprised.

Just as he had expected.

After a Soul Ring's quality increased, the power of each soul skill would increase accordingly.

And clearly, Element Affinity had directly increased by 10%!

An increase of One Tenth might not seem particularly remarkable.

But one had to remember that these were only Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

What if they were raised to Ten Thousand Years or Hundred Thousand Years?

Even at Million Years, reaching 100% affinity would not be impossible!

Viewed this way, the increase was terrifying.

However.

He had already anticipated all of this.

What truly surprised Li Yu was the Poison Element Control provided by the third Soul Ring!

Poison could count as an element too?

He had never considered that before.

Subconsciously, he had believed that it did not matter what kind of Soul Beast the Elemental Sprite Soul Ring came from, because the soul skills it provided were all Elemental Control.

That had indeed been confirmed.

But the elements he had imagined were the Five Elements, space, and the like.

Now that a poison element had suddenly appeared, how could he not be surprised?

Yet this did not seem to be a bad thing.

Instead, it made the Elemental Sprite seem even stronger!

While Li Yu's thoughts were in turmoil.

Dugu Bo, who had silently arrived at the area, and Qian Renxue, who had been watching Li Yu all along.

The two personally witnessed Li Yu's two yellow Soul Rings transform into Purple Soul Rings!

"How is this possible?!"

That was what both of them were thinking at this moment.

There was no need to say much about Qian Renxue. She had heavily injured the Soul Beast, while Li Yu had delivered the finishing blow, and she had personally watched him absorb it.

Therefore, she did not suspect Li Yu. Instead, she became curious about that Soul Beast.

"What kind of Soul Beast can stimulate other Soul Rings and make them improve?"

Qian Renxue's heart was filled with temptation. If she could find more Soul Beasts like this, could she also increase her Soul Ring Years?

One had to know that the most direct manifestation of a soul master's strength was, in truth, the configuration of their Soul Rings.

This showed just how attractive an opportunity to increase Soul Ring Years was to Qian Renxue.

Such an opportunity was simply terrifying!

Dugu Bo, who had approached silently and still remained hidden in the dark, was even more shocked.

Qian Renxue did not know the background of that Serpentine Soul Beast, but he did.

Its name was the Flame Spring Silver Serpent, and he had personally raised it!

Because of his martial soul, he was innately close to serpents.

Furthermore, affected by the Azure Serpent Poison, when he recuperated beside that strange pool of water and fire, he naturally tried every possible method to resolve the poison's effects within his body.

After trying all kinds of methods, he believed the most reliable one was fighting poison with poison!

Thus, he raised all kinds of venomous snakes.

The Flame Spring Silver Serpent was one of them!

Yet he had never expected that, while it had been let out to roam, it would be killed.

Naturally, he was furious, so he followed the place where the mark on the Flame Spring Silver Serpent had last disappeared to investigate.

But before he could get close, he had already sensed Xue Qinghe's aura.

Because of the Autumn Hunt, he knew that Xue Qinghe was undoubtedly dissatisfied with both him and Xue Ye.

Thus, his first thought was that Xue Qinghe had come to kill the venomous snake he had raised to vent his anger.

Therefore, though furious, he knew he was somewhat in the wrong and did not immediately lose his temper.

Of course, he also knew that it might be a misunderstanding.

After all, he could sense the mark he had left on the snake's body, but others would have a hard time detecting it.

So he concealed his aura as he approached, intending to understand what had happened.

But if he had not looked, it would have been fine. The moment he did, he witnessed a scene that overturned everything he knew.

A Soul Ring that had already been absorbed could actually increase in years?

There was such a thing?

He felt that the knowledge of a Titled Douluo like himself was perhaps far too shallow. Had he earned his title for nothing?
