The System Is Going This Big? A Million Year Soul Ring for Free? (Seeking Readership)

Midnight.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing today's diary. You have received the reward: Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Catcher. One hidden reward is available (unlocks after the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul obtains its first soul ring).

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Catcher: After use, you can obtain the soul ring of that million-year-old giant bug far away in the Star Dou Great Forest. This soul ring will ultimately rise to a Million Year Soul Ring as the Host's strength increases. Its remaining life energy will be stored within the Host's body and used to activate the Life Reflection Shield.

Dai Yichen: ???

Holy shit!

System, are you seriously going this big?

You're just giving him a Million Year Soul Ring for free!

But Dai Yichen felt as though something was still missing, so he tentatively asked, "System, I remember that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could also give a soul master an additional ice-attribute martial soul slot, right?"

No. After using the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Catcher, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm will completely die and become your soul ring. The ice-attribute martial soul slot can only be granted if he willingly bestows it upon you.

Dai Yichen nodded after reading the system's explanation. No big deal if he did not have it. He was not lacking in martial souls anyway. The White Tiger Psychic Lock would serve as his main offensive martial soul, while the Spirit Eyes would be used for support and to enhance the growth of his Mental Power.

As for that Million Year Soul Bone, Dai Yichen did not think there was any need to ask. That giant bug did not have a soul bone at all. Despite possessing a million years of cultivation and dual-cultivating spiritual and ice attributes, it was exceptionally weak because of its race. It did not even have a soul bone.

Being able to gain a Life Reflection Shield was already a huge profit to him.

The Life Reflection Shield could reflect all physical and Mental Attacks. If the opponent was weaker than Dai Yichen, the attack would be reflected in full.

If the opponent was stronger than Dai Yichen, only part of the attack would be reflected, while Dai Yichen would have to endure the remainder himself. However, the Life Reflection Shield would transfer the damage Dai Yichen needed to withstand to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's life force. Unless Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's life force could no longer sustain it, the damage would never fall upon Dai Yichen.

This was absolutely a god-tier life-saving skill. To a certain extent, it was even stronger than Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body and Bibi Dong's Undying God—as long as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's life force remained.

Although Dai Yichen did not know how much of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's life force would remain stored in his body after using the Catcher, it would be enough to let him safely get through the early stages. Even if a Titled Douluo came for him, he could still fool around a few times.

"System, use the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Catcher!"

Star Dou Great Forest, core lake. A beam of light descended from the heavens and landed on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. In the blink of an eye, that enormous bug vanished.

The Four Ferocious Beasts, who had been absorbing the heaven-and-earth energy released by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, were utterly dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. How had that giant bug suddenly disappeared?

Bear Monarch roared furiously at the surroundings. "Who was it?! Who the hell dared to pull something right under our noses?!"

Ten Thousand Demon King's eyes swept continuously across the area. Unlike Bear Monarch, he was not so hot-tempered. He activated his ability and had the nearby plant-type soul beasts relay information to him, but he found nothing. It was as though that beam of light had simply descended from the sky; it did not seem man-made.

Emerald Swan Bi Ji spoke calmly, "Bear Monarch, you're still as irritable as ever. That beam of light appeared far too strangely—it does not seem to have been caused by anyone. We are among the strongest beings in the Star Dou Great Forest. If someone had been causing trouble nearby, how could our Mental Power possibly have failed to detect them?"

Ten Thousand Demon King said, "I scanned a wide area. There is no suspicious person nearby."

Bear Monarch took a deep breath, though the entire bear was still extremely agitated. Ten Thousand Demon King was the overlord of the plant-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and could sense everything within the forest in a very short time. Since he said so, it had to be true.

"Then what do we do now? That giant bug still had so much heaven-and-earth energy left for us to absorb. Are we just letting it go?"

The more Bear Monarch thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. He desperately wanted to go on a rampage.

But Bi Ji calmed him down. "Let it go, Bear Monarch. I know you're unwilling, but since that person could take Sky Dream Ice Silkworm away so easily, it means their strength far surpasses ours. Not even Di Tian could do that. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bi Ji paused before continuing, "You should be grateful that the beam just now landed on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rather than Little Golden Lion. She bears the fate of the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

Scarlet King, standing nearby, frowned with a look of unwavering loyalty. "If anyone dares lay a hand on Little Golden Lion, I will never spare them!"

Since Bi Ji had put it that way, Bear Monarch could only swallow this humiliation, even though he felt thoroughly frustrated.

(If there's anything wrong above, feel free to point it out. I can revise it promptly.)

Meanwhile.

After waiting a few seconds, Dai Yichen saw a chibi-sized, jade-white giant bug about a meter long appear before him. A White-Gold Soul Ring floated above its body. This should be Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Ten distinct golden patterns covered its body, and each one presumably represented one hundred thousand years of cultivation.

As for why it was only a meter long, Dai Yichen guessed that it had been proportionally shrunk. Otherwise, if it showed its true body, his room probably would not be able to fit it.

Dai Yichen said, "System, will the Soul Power I gain from absorbing this soul ring first make up for my previous foundation, or—"

Ding! It will make up for it first.

Dai Yichen had expected as much. Fine, then let it make up for it. His current physique should be able to withstand more than a thousand years, so it should be enough to make up for it all at once. Perhaps he could even advance another level.

The thought of obtaining four soul skills at once made him a little excited. Although three of them leaned toward support, their effects were immense.

Without another word, Dai Yichen sat down cross-legged, guided the White-Gold Soul Ring before him onto his body, and began absorbing it.

While Dai Yichen was absorbing it, the female leads who possessed Diary Copies were also watching.

Ding! The people mentioned by the Host today are: Zhu Zhuqing, twice; Zhu Zhuyun, once; Xiao Wu, sixteen times; Ah Yin, thirty-four times.

The women: Sure enough. It seemed Xiao Wu and Ah Yin both possessed Diary Copies!

The person whose name was mentioned the most is Ah Yin. Therefore, she has received the rewards: one Fixed-Point Teleportation Talisman, one Disguise Talisman, and doubled basic cultivation talent.

Fixed-Point Teleportation Talisman: After use, it can teleport your physical body to any location.

Disguise Talisman: Can be used on yourself or someone else, changing their appearance, including their aura.

Ah Yin looked at the three rewards before her and fell into deep thought. For some reason, she felt as though the system was pushing her along. Was it just an illusion?
