I Transmigrated into Douluo and Split into Five People

Tang Yin chose one that was over four hundred years old and prepared to absorb it. Tang Tai stopped him.

"What kind of Spirit Beast is this? Explain it to me first."

Tang Yin gave a brief explanation. Tang Tai instantly pulled back his hand and subconsciously took two steps back.

"You've got guts, kid!"

Since it was also a "strength-type" Spirit Beast, he could not be bothered to interfere further.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Yin thought to himself, Whether I'm lucky or cursed depends on this one shot.

Absorb.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes with a grave expression.

Could the Spirit Skill be bad?

Afraid of hurting Tang Yin's fragile heart, Tang Tai asked softly.

"How was it?"

With a long sigh, Tang Yin shook his head.

"Not great. It can increase my strength by fourteen percent, and wherever my hammer lands, it creates air pressure that restricts the target."

And the area of that air pressure was shaped exactly like a Dung Beetle's dung ball.

It made sense. Spirit Beasts and humans were different species, after all. How could he possibly obtain their innate traits completely? Perhaps it would have been possible if there had been a Spirit Bone.

Tang Yin rummaged through several Dung Beetle carcasses but found no Spirit Bones.

"It's already quite good." Tang Tai consoled him. "A single Spirit Skill that both enhances you and restrains targets is already excellent."

Each Person's First Spirit Ring 2

Tang Yin stared speechlessly at the sky. The effect was decent, but it fell far too short of his expectations.

The enhancement ratio was a little too low.

If he could somehow benefit from the Sea God Assessment and raise its age limit... perhaps...

If the others could not add new Spirit Rings to overwrite them, then his second Spirit Ring would have to be absorbed beyond his limits with Whale Rubber!

Only then could he make up for the gap created by his first Spirit Ring.

The others were also absorbing Spirit Rings.

Yu Tianrui absorbed the six-hundred-year Spirit Ring of a Plant-type Spirit Beast, the Thunderclap Tree. Thunderclap Trees could absorb energy from nature, convert it into lightning, store it in their crowns, and use it for offense or defense.

Originally, he had not wanted to stir up trouble while hunting Spirit Beasts with disciples of the same generation from the sect. However, he seemed to have had no luck and had not encountered any Lightning Attribute Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts, so he chose this one instead.

His clan uncle was extremely dissatisfied. It was merely a Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast. For the sake of the future, could he not have spent a little more time searching? He was not some ordinary commoner Spirit Master who could only choose whatever Spirit Beast he happened to encounter.

Now...

It was a plant Spirit Beast. Even if it possessed the Lightning Attribute, where was the racial enhancement? How could it possibly enhance the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul more than the bloodline of a Sub-Dragon Species?

Choosing Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts to stabilize the bloodline was a fundamental policy established by the sect master, a Title Douluo. Ignoring it so completely was simply a refusal to acknowledge the sect's orthodox lineage.

He had heard that this brat's Martial Soul had originally been only a snake, and that he had possessed only Innate Level Two Spirit Power. Who knew what absurd luck had caused it to mutate back into a dragon...

Sure enough, he was a mixed-blood outsider with an impure lineage—impetuous, impatient for quick success, shortsighted, and utterly useless.

Heh. Trash.

Without a Sub-Dragon Spirit Ring, let's see how you use Dragon Transformation in the future.

Yu Tianrui thought his situation was quite good, but he actually had no clear sense of his family's circumstances. His parents had concealed everything perfectly and had not allowed Yu Tianrui to notice anything unusual.

After the absorption ended, Yu Tianrui gained a Discharge ability. He could release Soul Power, convert it into lightning, and attack. He could also charge it up; the longer he charged, the greater the damage. That was not important. What mattered was that it had an ability similar to an Energy Gathering Ring. With this Spirit Skill active, he could actively absorb the ambient energy of nature to assist his cultivation.

Upon seeing this Spirit Skill, his clan uncle became even more disdainful.

Discharge?

What kind of nonsense was that?

Was that not an ability the Martial Soul already possessed? It was nowhere near the orthodox Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's First Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw, which could be attached to the arm to increase close-range attack damage or fired through the air for long-range attacks.

He did not even wait for Yu Tianrui to finish explaining the Spirit Skill's effects. The moment he heard "Discharge," he impatiently said that he understood.

Yu Tianrui was utterly confused and could not understand why his attitude had suddenly become so hostile.

In comparison, Ning Yulin and An Lan were doing much better.

"None of you move. Let him handle it himself!"

Holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Yulin faced a Variegated Fierce Tiger alone. Ning Yuxuan stopped the two people who had been about to act, both of whom were his trusted subordinates.

One was an assault-type Spirit Master, and the other a control-type Spirit Master. Both were Spirit Kings. They had merely come to help Ning Yulin obtain his first Spirit Ring, so there was no need for excessively powerful guards. To ensure absolute safety, Ning Yuxuan had originally intended to assign two stronger guards, but Ning Yulin had refused. For now, he did not want Ning Fengzhi to know.

Seeing Ning Yuxuan's actions, the two exchanged glances and gasped.

They had not expected the eldest young master to be so ruthless.

Sixth Young Master was so young, yet he could not even tolerate him.

What were the two of them supposed to do? If the sect master found out, then...

"Eldest Young Master, you..."

"No need to say more. I have my own plans."

The two were truly caught in a difficult position. Should they listen to Ning Yuxuan?

They had just witnessed him seemingly trying to harm his own younger brother. From now on, they would likely be completely unable to leave Ning Yuxuan's camp.

Or should they ignore him and directly save Ning Yulin?

That was not a good choice either. They still had to make a living in the Seven Treasures Sect. Would they really openly oppose the eldest young master? Did they still want to survive there? Although he had not been formally named as the sect master's heir, Ning Yuxuan's status within the sect was not low.

They were caught between two impossible choices.

While the two hesitated and Ning Yuxuan anxiously waited, Ning Yulin had already achieved his goal. He sent the Glazed Pagoda beneath the Spirit Beast's paw. His Martial Soul shattered, and without making a sound, he fell backward.

"Quick! Bring my sixth brother back!"

Before the Spirit Beast could bite off Ning Yulin's lower body, Ning Yuxuan hurriedly gave the order for the two to rescue him. He was extremely nervous. After learning that this younger brother of the same bloodline, who had inexplicably possessed Innate Level Two Spirit Power, could restore his Martial Soul into a normal seven-story Glazed Pagoda, he was certain that his brother was no ordinary person. Not to mention that he had heard from him about the terrifying idea of shattering one's Martial Soul and absorbing a Spirit Ring.

In Ning Yuxuan's view, this younger brother would definitely accomplish what he had failed to do: become the sect master's heir!

The mere hundred-year-old tiger was kicked away, and Ning Yulin was brought before Ning Yuxuan. The two guards wore strange expressions.

What exactly was going on with the eldest young master?

If he had not meant to harm him, why did he need to save him now?

Had his conscience suddenly awakened? Or was he simply wavering?

Ning Yuxuan hurriedly treated him. He summoned his Martial Soul, a Short Sword of the same color and material as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

It projected a pale green glow that fell upon Ning Yulin and continued for several minutes. When he saw his sixth brother struggle to lift his eyelids, Ning Yuxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are you?"

Barely breathing, Ning Yulin had already tried his best to overestimate the pain Zhou Xuefeng had described, but it still far exceeded his psychological limit. In that instant, his self-protection mechanism had directly activated, leaving him unable to feel anything. Only now had he been awakened.

Only now did he feel how excruciating it was. It was as though his brain had been placed on a millstone and ground back and forth, while countless needles continuously pierced in and out of his body.

In his haze, he felt as though he had seen the God of Death.

How had Zhou Xuefeng managed to keep his consciousness clear through an experience like this?!

After quite a while, Ning Yulin barely regained some strength. He opened his mouth slightly, speaking in broken fragments.

"Big... brother... we... water... turtle..."

What turtle?

Ning Yuxuan did not understand and asked tentatively.

"Do you mean a Mystic Crystal Tortoise?"

A Water Attribute turtle-type Spirit Beast whose shell resembled crystal. It could freely manipulate water elements for defense or attack. Earlier, he had settled on two choices. One was this little turtle, and the other was Blue Silver Grass.

The feeling of being "crushed to pulp" made him suffer beyond endurance. Ning Yuxuan feared that he would not last much longer. If Ning Yuxuan treated him again and his Martial Soul recovered by more than half, adding the Spirit Ring might not produce the same effect as Zhou Xuefeng's experiment.

He had to hurry.

The little turtle was closer.

"Eldest Young Master, this Spirit Beast's age..."

Before the two could finish speaking, Ning Yulin had already acted. With the little mental strength he could barely muster, he had already discerned that this turtle was around five hundred years old. His physical constitution should have improved after consuming Whale Rubber, allowing him to absorb an even older Spirit Ring, but Ning Yulin did not dare gamble on whether his current physical state could still withstand an absorption beyond the limit. Five hundred years was just right.

The result was acceptable. His luck was not bad. The information he received described the Spirit Skill's effect as Water Element Attachment. Ning Yulin did not test it in front of the three others and decided to wait until he returned.

He only summoned his Martial Soul to inspect its condition. The cracks were still there, but it had recovered much better than Zhou Xuefeng had demonstrated.

Seeing that his sixth brother had finished absorbing it, Ning Yuxuan wanted to ask whether it had succeeded as planned and what effect it had, but when he saw that Ning Yulin had not explained it directly, he realized that he might not trust the two guards. Thus, he did not ask further.

The four returned.

The two guards could not understand what the brothers had gone through all that trouble for.

An Lan's Spirit Beast hunt proceeded smoothly from beginning to end. No one in the group disliked one another or secretly criticized each other, nor were they as burdened with worries as the Seven Treasures Sect guards, fretting over this and that.

Once they encountered a suitable Spirit Beast, the teacher acted, the student stepped forward to deliver the finishing blow, and then absorbed the Spirit Ring.

The only regret was that they never encountered an avian Spirit Beast that possessed both sun and fire attributes, so An Lan could only settle for the next best option.

He chose a Sun Flower, also called a Sunflower.

It was also around five hundred years old.

As expected, he gained a self-enhancement Spirit Skill. An Lan named it Blazing Divine Radiance. After spreading his wings, he could cast a fiery halo that increased his own flame intensity by twenty percent and his speed by twenty percent. Unexpectedly, this Spirit Skill could also be applied to others, though Spirit Masters without a fire attribute could not benefit from the attribute enhancement. An Lan could not help muttering, Could it be that my Martial Soul is actually a support type?

Meeting

After each of them obtained a Spirit Ring.

Inside the space, a new round of discussions began among the five.

Zhou Xuefeng had been waiting for a long time. He was the only one who had not officially hunted and added a Spirit Ring yet. He had been waiting for Ning Yulin's result: after sharing their Martial Souls again after obtaining Spirit Rings, could the others still take advantage of the rapid increase in Soul Power Level provided by multiple Spirit Rings?

Ning Yulin appeared and, without wasting words, immediately shared. He selected only Zhou Xuefeng, rather than choosing the other three at the same time.

Once the sharing ended, Zhou Xuefeng immediately left the space to examine the results.

He informed the other four of his conclusion.

First, he asked a question.

"What are all your Soul Power Levels now?"

An Lan, Tang Yin, and Yu Tianrui: Level Thirteen.

Ning Yulin: Level Twelve.

Zhou Xuefeng nodded.

"After I added a Spirit Ring to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, my Soul Power was a little above Level Eleven. Now I'm also at Level Twelve. There was an increase, but not much, and none of the pressure I felt when absorbing a Spirit Ring before. So my conclusion is this: after obtaining Spirit Rings, sharing again definitely does not produce the kind of improvement Yu Xiaogang and the others imagined, where one could directly add a high-quality Spirit Ring to a second Martial Soul. Although it does not directly raise our levels, the advantage is that we can use the other four Martial Souls after they have gained Spirit Rings without any pressure."

The four indicated their understanding, their expressions calm. In truth, each of them had already roughly guessed this. The facts merely confirmed their speculation.

Resting his chin on his hand, An Lan suddenly had an idea.

"Do you think this would work..."

"First, we choose one Martial Soul and add a high-age Spirit Ring as its first Spirit Ring. Then we overwrite and share it with the others. After that, the others can use the advantage of that high-age Spirit Ring to add high-age Spirit Rings to their own Martial Souls. If we repeat the cycle, could our Martial Souls basically all have black Spirit Rings?"

For example, one of the five could add a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring as the first ring of their Martial Soul, then overwrite and share the Martial Souls that the others had already added Spirit Rings to. Everyone could then begin adding Spirit Rings anew. Since their Soul Power Levels would remain, supplementing Spirit Rings would be quick.

That way, they could all achieve full black Spirit Rings, and there would be enhancement benefits as well.

The other four carefully considered it. It seemed... very reasonable?
