Second Soul Ring

Qin Heng had previously used the cheat-like Targeted Mind Voice to deliberately bring up the Half-Plane and the Soul Spirit Method in front of Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong.

To put it plainly, Qin Heng had been "taking out loans" on all of this. Ever since his Martial Soul had evolved into the Asura Armor, he had felt that he could use the Asura Armor's ability to travel through time and space.

It was just that, at the time, he did not know how to activate that ability or whether it had any restrictions.

Now, after completing Armor Fusion, Qin Heng understood that once he reached level 70 and obtained his Martial Soul Avatar, he would unlock all the functions of the Asura Armor. At that point, he could travel to the Douluo II timeline, snatch Electrolux away, then use Spirit Hall's influence to naturally introduce the Soul Spirit Method.

The Soul Spirit Method could do far more than reduce human casualties when obtaining Soul Rings. It could also reduce the deaths of Soul Beasts. The only concern was whether humanity, after growing stronger overall, would begin raising Soul Beasts in captivity.

But that was something to consider later. As long as the Soul Spirit Method was successfully introduced, Qin Heng could easily gain immense faith from both humans and Soul Beasts, use that faith to condense a Divine Position, and ultimately become a god.

Given the strength of the Asura Armor, once he became a god, he would at the very least obtain a God King Divine Position. Then he would have to settle with the Asura God who was the original and who was the counterfeit.

Thinking of this, Qin Heng was in high spirits. After getting excited for a while, he finally remembered to examine his First Soul Skill.

The effect of Qin Heng's First Soul Skill was simple and brutal: it increased his strength by 100%. There was no time limit on the amplification; as long as he had Soul Power, he could keep it active indefinitely.

Qin Heng then told Qian Daoliu about his First Soul Skill. Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised, not by the 100% increase in strength, but by the fact that the amplification had no time limit.

According to records kept by the Qian Family over the years, the Holy Light Ape's Strength Amplification Soul Skill ranged from a 50% to 100% boost. Yet whether it was a 50% strength increase or a 100% increase, both had time limits, generally lasting from twenty minutes to half an hour.

But Qin Heng's amplification duration was directly tied to his Soul Power.

"Xiao Heng, how much does your First Soul Skill consume?" Qian Daoliu pressed.

Qin Heng immediately activated his First Soul Skill, Strength Amplification. After sensing it for a moment, he said, "Grandpa Qian, the consumption of my First Soul Skill isn't high. With my current Soul Power, I can keep it activated for an hour."

"You can actually sustain it for an hour? Once your Soul Power Level rises later on, its duration should increase further. This is an extremely powerful amplification Soul Skill."

"That's right. I'm very satisfied with this Soul Skill. Thank you, Grandpa Qian."

Qian Daoliu smiled and waved his hand. "No need to be so polite. Let's strike while the iron is hot and find a suitable Second Soul Skill for you."

With that, Qian Daoliu grabbed Qin Heng and leaped into the air, flying toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qin Heng's First Soul Ring had been a 2,200-year one, and he had absorbed it with great ease. His Second Soul Ring would certainly be aimed at the 5,000-year range.

The Soul Beasts raised by the Qian Family were at most a little over 3,000 years old, so they naturally had to seek suitable Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

For his second Soul Ring, Qin Heng wanted a Soul Skill that enhanced speed or agility. Soul Beasts with such skills were mostly avian Soul Beasts.

Feline, rodent, and rabbit-type Soul Beasts also had a chance of producing Soul Skills related to speed and agility, but the odds were not as high as with avian Soul Beasts.

Thus, Qian Daoliu directly brought Qin Heng to an area where avian Soul Beasts gathered. After sensing the birds around them, he summoned his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and, with lightning speed, captured three Soul Beasts.

The first was a Soul Beast called a Gale Bird. Its most famous Soul Skill was Rapid Dash, a skill that wrapped the entire body in Wind Attribute Soul Power to achieve a swift charge. Killing a Gale Bird gave a high chance of obtaining a speed-enhancement Soul Skill.

The second was a Sharp-Tailed Swift. The Sharp-Tailed Swift was the inherited Martial Soul of the White Family, one of the Four Single-Attribute Clans affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect. As a Martial Soul, it represented extreme flying speed, and it was the same as a Soul Beast. It possessed the fastest flight speed among avian Soul Beasts of the same level, and killing it also gave a high chance of obtaining a speed-enhancement Soul Skill.

The last was a Thunder Dragon Cat. As its name suggested, this Soul Beast possessed a trace of Dragon Clan bloodline. While running, it could use lightning to stimulate the cells within its body, granting it equally unparalleled speed. It liked hunting avian Soul Beasts for food, and both the Gale Bird and Sharp-Tailed Swift were on its menu.

These three Soul Beasts were all around 5,000 years old. Qian Daoliu placed them before Qin Heng, introduced the characteristics of all three, then left the choice to him.

After thinking it over, Qin Heng ultimately chose the Thunder Dragon Cat. The reason was simple: both the Gale Bird and Sharp-Tailed Swift were on the Thunder Dragon Cat's menu, which meant that the Thunder Dragon Cat was capable of preying on them.

Since that was the case, he would naturally choose the Thunder Dragon Cat.

Thus, Qin Heng repeated the process, killing the roughly 5,000-year-old Thunder Dragon Cat and absorbing its Soul Ring.

This time, while absorbing the Soul Ring, Qin Heng clearly felt waves of piercing pain in his meridians. The immense Soul Power made his flesh feel as if it were being torn apart, and bloody marks even appeared across his skin. Clearly, this Soul Ring had reached the limit of what he could absorb.

Qin Heng clenched his teeth and forcibly endured the Soul Power impact from the Soul Ring.

Two hours later, the violent energy within the Soul Ring had calmed down, and Qin Heng's aura had steadied considerably. Another hour passed before the Second Soul Ring was finally fully absorbed.

Two purple Soul Rings emerged beneath Qin Heng's feet, deep and beautiful.

Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, Qin Heng was the only one whose first two Soul Rings were Millennium Soul Rings.

"Xiao Heng, what is your Second Soul Skill?" Qian Daoliu asked after sighing in amazement.

"Grandpa Qian, my Second Soul Skill is called Thunder Surge. It uses Thunder Attribute Soul Power to stimulate my cells, increasing my overall agility by 100% for half an hour."

"A 100% increase in overall agility? That amplification ratio is quite impressive!"

"It really is. If my third Soul Ring can grant another amplification that enhances all attributes, then when fighting an enemy, using my first three Soul Skills would be equivalent to unleashing a miniature Martial Soul Avatar. I imagine even Soul Kings with ordinary Martial Soul quality would not be my match."

Listening to Qin Heng, Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction. It truly was an excellent idea.

"Now that both Soul Rings have been added, Xiao Heng, let's test your Soul Power Level!" As he spoke, Qian Daoliu flipped his right hand, and a Crystal Ball appeared in his palm.

Qin Heng stepped forward and placed his hand on the Crystal Ball. Its light rose steadily, and when it finally stopped, Qian Daoliu could not help crying out, "You actually have level 27 Soul Power!"
