Soul Duel, Obtaining God-Bestowed Spirit Ring

"To advance from Iron Douluo to Bronze Douluo, you need one hundred points. Each victory in a battle earns one point, but losing a battle will deduct one point accordingly. If your consecutive wins exceed five, then each additional consecutive win will directly add ten points. After ten consecutive wins, each further win adds one hundred points.

Even if you reach Bronze Douluo and successfully advance, if your points drop below one hundred, you will lose your Bronze Douluo qualification. To advance from Bronze Douluo to Silver Douluo, you need one thousand points. In battles between Bronze Douluo, each victory earns ten points, and each loss deducts ten points. The ratio for consecutive wins is the same as for Iron Douluo. Advancing from Silver Douluo to Gold Douluo requires five thousand points."

After the staff member finished explaining, Gu Rong asked Mu Yu to try a match. While waiting in the lounge, Bone Douluo instructed Mu Yu on some basic requirements for soul battling. "Xiao Yu, unless your life is in danger, you cannot use your Nightmare Beast Martial Soul, understand?" Mu Yu nodded, then realized something. "Teacher, Thousand Silk Puppet is a support-type Martial Soul."

"I know, but the Thousand Silk Puppet can also cultivate control-type skills, which proves it has offensive and defensive capabilities." Mu Yu agreed; Gu Rong was right. The Thousand Silk Puppet was indeed a quite versatile Martial Soul.

During the wait, many Soul Masters of the same rank cast appraising glances at Mu Yu, but it didn't last long. After all, everyone had their own energy to focus on, and most people were resting or meditating.

Soon, it was Mu Yu's turn. She walked onto the soul battling stage under Bone Douluo's watchful gaze. Standing opposite her was a young man in ornate clothing, appearing about three or four years older than her.

At this moment, a man in a tailcoat appeared above the soul battling stage. "Welcome, everyone, to today's soul battle! I am your host for today! The two contestants today are Soul Grand Master Wang Jie, who has achieved 9 consecutive wins in the Great Soul Arena, and his Martial Soul is the Ghost Tiger!" Mu Yu pondered the Ghost Tiger Martial Soul. This type of Martial Soul should primarily focus on speed, similar to the Hell Spirit Cat. Her first Soul Skill, a slowing effect, would be perfect for suppressing the opponent. "And the other contestant is Soul Grand Master Mu Yu, participating in her first soul battle, and her Martial Soul is the rare Thousand Silk Puppet!"

After introducing both sides, a group in the audience began questioning Mu Yu. "She's so young, maybe she just awakened her Martial Soul. How can she already be a Soul Grand Master?" Mu Yu's opponent also showed a confident smile. "Little sister, I don't want to hurt you. Why don't you just step down yourself?"

Mu Yu ignored him. As soon as the host announced the start, she immediately activated her Martial Soul. Of course, she didn't reveal her Soul Rings, merely letting the Puppet appear behind her.

Wang Jie was furious that Mu Yu ignored him. In his eyes, he had already been generous by offering her an easy way out. How dare she ignore him! As soon as the soul battle began, he immediately charged straight at Mu Yu. "First Soul Skill! Shadow Strike!" The surrounding audience held their breath for her, but Mu Yu remained unfazed. "First Soul Skill, Parasite."

After she used her first Soul Skill, Wang Jie's speed noticeably decreased again. Even Wang Jie was a bit incredulous. Mu Yu had already moved out of his lock-on range. Enraged, he shouted, "You little brat! I'll kill you! Second Soul Skill! Shadow Claw!" As he spoke, his speed suddenly increased, making even Mu Yu's slowing effect from her first skill barely noticeable.

"Second Soul Skill! Burst!" The Puppet behind Mu Yu instantly moved in front of her, blocking Wang Jie's attack. Mu Yu quietly shifted to the side, green leg bones appearing on her legs. Wind Blades suddenly flew towards Wang Jie, knocking him to the ground. Everyone watching was stunned. A Soul Bone at such a young age! Even Gu Rong was dumbfounded; he didn't even know his disciple had a Soul Bone!

Wang Jie was injured, and the host announced the end. Mu Yu easily won the match.

After receiving her reward, Mu Yu walked towards the exit of the soul arena, where Gu Rong was waiting for her. But before she could leave, she was blocked by a group of people, Wang Jie among them. Seeing Mu Yu, he yelled at a middle-aged man beside him, "Dad! It's her!" Mu Yu was taken aback, but adhering to her principle of watching a good show, she wanted to see what the man would say.

"Brat, you're the one who injured my son!" The man's voice was so loud it hurt Mu Yu's ears. "Yes, it was me. So what?" Seeing Mu Yu's arrogant expression, the man sneered, "Brat, do you know who I am? Now, you have two options. One, we kill you and take your Soul Bone. Two..." The man smiled sinisterly, "Play with me and my son."

The onlookers around them scorned the man, but none of them stepped forward. After all... the Wang family had a Soul Sage. They couldn't afford to offend them.

Seeing that Mu Yu remained silent, the man assumed she was scared and lecherously approached her, completely oblivious to the murderous aura emanating from Gu Rong behind him.

Just as the man was about to reach Mu Yu, a powerful force struck him from behind. The man impatiently turned his head, only to meet Gu Rong's gaze.

"Bone Douluo!" the man exclaimed in shock. "What are you doing here!" Bone Douluo's reputation was known to almost everyone. Gu Rong's aura turned icy. "Mr. Wang, weren't you planning to kill my disciple and take her bone? Weren't you planning to have my disciple play with you? Heh, how about I play with you instead?" Hearing the word "disciple," Wang Qiang stiffened. He pointed at Mu Yu. "She's your disciple..." His voice trembled. Seeing Gu Rong nod, he felt doomed. He felt like he wouldn't see tomorrow's sun...

Wang Qiang and Wang Jie were beaten half to death by Gu Rong. Everyone around marveled at Bone Douluo taking a disciple.

When this incident reached Qian Renxue that night, she immediately ordered Snake Lance Douluo and Sting-Fish Douluo to eliminate the Wang family and their associates overnight. The Wang family had grown to the size of a small sect. Their annihilation in a single day drew considerable attention. Naturally, the public assumed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had wiped out the Wang family to avenge Mu Yu. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and others, who were being unfairly blamed, knew it must have been people from the Martial Soul Hall and silently bore the burden.

Following yesterday's events, Mu Yu's reputation spread like wildfire. Everyone knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doted on this disciple of Bone Douluo. Since Ning Rongrong was still young, Mu Yu was essentially the only junior in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and a genius who had reached Soul Grand Master at the age of six. Therefore, no one had any objections.

Within a month, Mu Yu visited the Great Soul Arena almost every day, and her strength gradually improved. Although the progress was slow, only leveling up once a month, with the assessment still half a year away, Mu Yu wasn't in a hurry. After an unknown period, there were no more opponents for Mu Yu in the Great Soul Arena, and she had nowhere else to go... She resumed being sparred by the Sword Bone Douluo couple. Sometimes, Ning Fengzhi would also offer some guidance. Finally! With only a month left until the assessment, Mu Yu reached level thirty.

Upon reaching level thirty, a voice echoed in Mu Yu's mind. "You have indeed lived up to my expectations!" The God of Space said excitedly. He was one step closer to retirement. "Tell me, what is the second trial?"

But she quickly regretted asking so soon. The God of Space revealed an evil smile. "The content of the second trial is! Participate in the Sea God's Black-level Four Trials!" Mu Yu was shocked. "What did you say?!" The God of Space paused. "I've even lowered the difficulty for you. It's only four trials; normally, it should be six."

Mu Yu was petrified. Just as she was about to protest, the God of Space added, "Here's a benefit for you. How about a God-Bestowed Soul Ring?" Mu Yu's eyes widened. A God-Bestowed Soul Ring was excellent! Her expression immediately changed. "Okay, okay! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" With the God of Space's satisfied smile, Mu Yu withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness. After exiting, she discovered her Nightmare Beast had gained a second Soul Ring, and it was red. The God-Bestowed Soul Ring was the highest level she could withstand.

She was a bit confused. God-Bestowed Soul Rings were on God-Bestowed Martial Souls. Wait, that didn't seem wrong. Well, she would still need to hunt for the Thousand Silk Puppet's third Soul Ring. But the Nightmare Beast directly jumping from level sixteen to twenty and gaining a Soul Ring was quite worth it!
