Absorbing a God-Given Soul Ring

Jiang Li quietly returned to his room, his mind filled with countless thoughts as he began preparing for the upcoming first auction.

His body had been transported directly to the Douluo Continent, and he had brought nothing with him.

Now, the items for the first auction could only rely on the ten items he had just drawn from the system.

Under the soft lighting, Jiang Li carefully examined these precious items.

A 30,000-Year Mental Attribute External Spirit Bone.

An Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit—the Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon.

A bottle of Intermediate Healing Potion, capable of healing all injuries below the Soul Emperor rank.

The corpse of a 20,000-year Netherworld Direwolf Soul Beast.

An approximately 50,000-year Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb.

Five God-Given Soul Rings.

And a Level 5 Soul Tool Blueprint.

Jiang Li knew that the star of this auction was undoubtedly the Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit—the Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon.

Although this Martial Soul was astonishingly powerful, his own Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul also contained the Ultimate Fire attribute.

If he used it as his second Martial Soul, it would inevitably take up one precious Martial Soul slot.

Jiang Li looked forward to obtaining another powerful and unique Martial Soul through the System Lottery in the future, thereby enhancing his strength in every aspect.

Once all the auction items had been prepared, Jiang Li slowly rose to his feet. After careful consideration, he decided to have Lei Yao personally deliver the invitations.

In this world where strength reigned supreme, only this could draw sufficient attention from others.

Otherwise, when people heard that an Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit was being auctioned, their first reaction would undoubtedly be disbelief.

Such a fantastical matter was unimaginable even to top Titled Douluo Experts.

Jiang Li intended to use this auction to thoroughly establish the prestige of the Starry Sky Auction House.

"Lei Yao, I need you to handle an important matter."

Jiang Li's voice was steady and powerful as he handed more than ten invitations to Lei Yao, speaking in a serious tone.

"Deliver these invitations in turn to places such as Shrek Academy, the Star Luo Empire, and Mingde Hall."

"If you encounter powerful Soul Masters along the way, you may give them invitations as well, but make sure they sense the mystery and strength of this auction."

"Understood, Pavilion Master. Rest assured, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Lei Yao's lips curved slightly into a confident smile.

He accepted the invitations. A brilliant flash of lightning flickered, and Lei Yao's figure instantly tore through space and vanished without a trace.

Jiang Li had complete confidence in Lei Yao's abilities.

After all, a Limit Douluo personally delivering invitations would certainly let the recipients feel the strength of the Starry Sky Auction House.

These invitations were for Soul Masters of great strength and considerable influence across the Douluo Continent.

As for the other seats in the Auction Pavilion, Jiang Li planned to allow others to enter once the auction began, giving more people the chance to witness this grand event.

The auction price of an Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit would certainly be outrageously high. Only true powerhouses and immensely wealthy factions could afford it.

After settling the preliminary matters of the auction, Jiang Li turned his attention to his own cultivation.

He planned to attach Soul Rings to his powerful Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul.

The Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul had granted him thirty levels of Innate Soul Power.

With the five God-Given Soul Rings he had just obtained from the System Lottery, he no longer needed to hunt Soul Beasts for Soul Rings.

The unique aspect of God-Given Soul Rings was that they could automatically grant Soul Skills most suited to one's Martial Soul.

This not only greatly saved him the time of searching for Soul Beasts, but also spared him the dangers he might face while fighting powerful Soul Beasts.

On the current Douluo Continent, Soul Beasts possessing Ultimate Attributes were already rare. Finding one with a suitable age and matching attribute was even harder than reaching the heavens.

"Ling Yun, please assist me. I'm going to absorb the God-Given Soul Rings."

Jiang Li's voice carried a trace of caution.

He knew that his body had crossed over with him and was relatively weak.

Even with the support of the Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul, absorbing a high-age Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring was nearly impossible.

He needed Ling Yun's powerful Life Force to assist him.

If he could not hold on during the absorption process, Ling Yun's Life Force could also heal the damage caused within his body by absorbing the Soul Rings, raising his absorption limit.

"No problem, Pavilion Master. Absorb them without worry. With me here, you won't suffer any harm."

Ling Yun's voice was as lovely as heavenly music. A gentle smile blossomed on her exquisite face, and her eyes were filled with concern.

Jiang Li solemnly nodded and slowly spread open his palm.

In an instant, the Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul bloomed with dazzling radiance. Lights of various colors intertwined and flickered through the air, releasing a mysterious aura that made one's heart tremble.

Jiang Li took three golden spheres from his chest. These were the precious God-Given Soul Rings; with a light crush, they would automatically condense into Soul Rings.

Bang!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Li picked up one of the God-Given Soul Rings and fiercely exerted force with his right hand, crushing it.

Golden motes scattered through the air like shooting stars. Immediately afterward, a golden Soul Ring slowly emerged around Jiang Li's body.

The moment this Soul Ring was crushed, its color abruptly changed from pure white to bright yellow, and the color gradually deepened.

As time passed.

When the Soul Ring Age was about to reach one thousand years, Jiang Li's body began trembling uncontrollably, and unbearable heat flooded his entire body.

He knew that he had reached the limit of this Soul Ring.

"Light of Life!"

Ling Yun had been closely watching Jiang Li's condition. Seeing this, she acted without hesitation.

With a light wave of her right hand, a soft green radiance instantly spread through the air, forming a massive and warm green ring above Jiang Li.

A ceaseless stream of Life Force poured into Jiang Li's body like a babbling brook.

Jiang Li, who had nearly been unable to endure any longer, felt this powerful and warm Life Force and let out a long breath.

Even at this crucial, tense moment of absorbing Soul Rings, Jiang Li could not help but marvel inwardly.

This is the power of the Ultimate Life Attribute. It's truly terrifying!

He had nearly failed to hold on just now, yet after absorbing only a little Life Force, he had regained his vitality, as though filled with limitless strength.

Several hours passed.

With Ling Yun's assistance, Jiang Li finally successfully absorbed all three Soul Rings.

He let out a long breath and opened his eyes. Three Soul Rings of different colors floated around him: deep purple, purple, and black.

With the support of Ling Yun's powerful Life Force, the age of Jiang Li's third Soul Ring had directly reached the astonishing level of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

"Whew, I finally absorbed them successfully."

Jiang Li looked at the Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul in his hand, which emitted a gentle glow, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
