The Second Inheritance Is Complete

Liu Yuan couldn't help feeling a little anticipation.

After all, he had once been no more than an ant in the eyes of Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others. Yet in the blink of an eye, he had already left them far behind when it came to his First Soul Ring. If they really met again someday, who knew what that scene would be like?

He immediately examined the abilities of his First Soul Ring.

The ring shimmered, and its effects soon became clear.

A moment later, a faint aura of Death Qi quickly welled up from within Liu Yuan and spread over the Great Scythe in his hand.

Liu Yuan had no idea what his First Soul Skill did, but the God of Death knew very well. After all, he was the one who had passed this First Soul Ring on to Liu Yuan, so he explained its effects to him at once.

"This is the ability of your First Soul Ring. It's called Death Qi Surround."

"When you use this ability, Death Qi will well up from your Soul Ring and cover your Scythe."

"After that, all your attacks will carry Death Qi."

"In battle, anything struck by your Death Qi will have its life force stripped away on the spot. Weapons and the like are less of a concern, since they aren't alive to begin with. But if a living creature is struck by your Scythe, even a slight graze will let the Death Qi seep through the wound and into its body, eventually draining away all its life force."

"A living creature whose life force has been stripped away might not have any visible wounds, but there will be no life left in its body. It will be surrounded by Death Qi, worse than dead, and reduced to a living corpse."

The God of Death patiently explained the First Soul Ring's abilities to Liu Yuan in detail.

"That powerful?"

Liu Yuan couldn't help staring in surprise after hearing what it could do.

After listening to the God of Death's explanation, he had already realized that it was an offensive Soul Skill.

What surprised him was that this offensive Soul Skill was completely different from the others on the Douluo Continent.

Most of the other offensive Soul Skills on the Douluo Continent

simply unleashed a special attack, boosting its power by several dozen percent compared to normal.

But attacks of that kind could still be blocked.

If they encountered a powerful defensive Soul Master, even the strongest attack couldn't break through their armor.

Liu Yuan's First Soul Skill was different.

It completely ignored defenses.

As long as it hit an enemy, and that enemy was alive,

then, with the help of Death Qi, Liu Yuan could turn them into a corpse.

Once he understood just how powerful his Soul Skill was, Liu Yuan couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.

His First Soul Skill was incredible!

He soon began accepting the God of Death's next inheritance.

Although Liu Yuan was overjoyed at how much stronger he had become after gaining his First Soul Ring,

he also knew that he needed to complete the entire inheritance before he could leave this place.

So he still had to keep working hard!

Otherwise, he would have all this strength but no way to get out and take revenge on Tang San. It would all be for nothing!

He needed to complete the inheritance as quickly as possible.

That way, when he emerged again, he could repay Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others a hundredfold for all the pain they had caused him!

So he soon settled down once more to focus on accepting the inheritance.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye,

several more months passed.

During that time, Liu Yuan's strength kept growing.

Meanwhile, Tang San and the others weren't falling behind either.

Not long after joining Shrek Academy, Tang San and his companions set out under Zhao Wuji's guidance.

By then, they had all reached a bottleneck, so they went straight to Star Dou Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and find Soul Rings.

In the end, nearly everyone got the Soul Ring they wanted.

Tang San, in particular, had made a huge haul this time.

Using his Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, he killed a Man Faced Demon Spider and obtained a thousand-year purple Soul Ring.

And it wasn't one of those Soul Rings that had only just reached a thousand years.

Normally, a Soul Master's third Soul Ring could only be one that had barely reached a thousand years. But Tang San had gotten one that was eighteen hundred years old.

One Soul Ring of his was worth two of anyone else's!

Tang San was feeling extremely pleased with himself, and the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils who had accompanied him were full of admiration and cheers.

"As expected of Third Brother! Your third Soul Ring is already eighteen hundred years old. I bet no one on the Douluo Continent has ever had a Soul Ring of that age in their third slot."

"You bet! My Third Brother is a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. Who on the Douluo Continent could surpass him?"

"And he even got a Soul Bone! We don't know what this thing is, but it must be incredibly powerful."

"Of course! Third Brother's Soul Bone has to be the strongest!"

One after another, the Shrek Seven Devils showered Tang San with praise.

Tang San was more than happy to soak it all in.

After hearing them sing his praises, the smug look on his face grew even more pronounced.

He couldn't help thinking of Liu Yuan, whom he had buried alive a few months ago. At the thought, his grin grew more brazen. "What good is being gifted? Staying alive is what matters!"

"Idiot! I'm still alive, and you're dead! That makes me the greatest genius on the Douluo Continent!"

Tang San laughed to himself.

Meanwhile,

after all his efforts over the past few months, Liu Yuan had finally completed his second inheritance.

The first few inheritances had actually been fairly easy, since Liu Yuan hadn't been able to withstand much divine power at the beginning.

So this second inheritance had taken him only a few months to complete.

Liu Yuan had been sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened them, then sprang to his feet like a rabbit.

His eyes shone with excitement. He knew that he had just completed his second inheritance.

"Lord God of Death, what's the reward for my second inheritance?"

Liu Yuan couldn't help asking the God of Death.

"Another Soul Ring."

The God of Death smiled faintly.

But he didn't say any more. If he did, it wouldn't be much of a surprise.

Liu Yuan didn't ask anything else.

He immediately summoned his Martial Soul.

He still remembered clearly how, when he had received his first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, the God of Death had said it was just for fun, and that something even more powerful would come later.

Now the promised reward had arrived. Just how powerful would it be?

At the thought, Liu Yuan immediately summoned his Martial Soul.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sure enough, a strange sound rang out.

Then Liu Yuan saw the two new Soul Rings behind him and froze on the spot!
