A Ten-Thousand-Year First Ring!

On a mountain outside Heaven Dou City on Douluo Continent, there was a hidden cave.

At that moment, Xiao Wujiu was continuously absorbing the Spirit Ring. The high Xuan-tier Crimson Flame Art within his body constantly absorbed the energy of the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, and his level steadily rose as a result!

Starting from three-star Dou Zhe, it continued to climb!

Five-star Dou Zhe... seven-star... nine-star. In mere moments, he reached the Dou Master realm!

But it was not over yet. How terrifying was the energy contained within a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring? Xiao Wujiu's Battle Qi level quickly surpassed the Dou Master realm and reached the peak of nine-star Da Dou Shi before finally stopping!

"Damn, I never expected this sixth-tier Magic Core obtained from that alchemist's inheritance to contain such terrifying energy!"

Xiao Wujiu slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

A genuine hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring had also appeared around him!

"Sure enough, although my body has adapted to the rules of the Douluo World through the Gate of Transmigration, my advancement in level won't be restricted because of it."

In his right hand was a cauldron. This was his Martial Soul, named—Creation!

"Now it's time to properly see this world. I have at least gained some ability to protect myself."

Sensing that the energy needed to return to Battle Through the Heavens was still one-tenth short of being full, he decided to take the initiative.

Yes, not only was he a transmigrator, but he was also someone who had transmigrated to Battle Through the Heavens before transmigrating a second time to Douluo Continent!

In Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Wujiu had transmigrated into the Xiao Clan just like Xiao Yan. Their talents were nearly equal, but ever since Old Yao began absorbing Xiao Yan's Battle Qi, Xiao Wujiu had become the Xiao Clan's number one genius—a fifteen-year-old three-star Dou Zhe!

Moreover, he had fortuitously obtained the inheritance of a fifth-grade alchemist, which was also why he possessed a sixth-tier Magic Core.

The gate that had brought him here only activated after he witnessed Xiao Yan's Battle Qi falling to the third stage, at which point it had finally accumulated enough energy for transmigration and brought him here.

For that reason, he had even brought along all his possessions. After all, he would have to wait until the energy accumulated again before he could transmigrate back next time.

Changing the plot and claiming a share of the world's weight could both speed up the accumulation of transmigration energy.

After leaving the cave, he spotted a massive city in the distance.

After thinking for a moment, he chose to head there and find out where he was on the timeline. What if Tang San had already taken all the Immortal Herbs?

After all, there were not many useful things on Douluo Continent for him. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one of the three great treasure troves, was one of them. Obtaining it would mean having a place where he could acquire medicinal herbs endlessly.

"I wonder what tier my current strength falls into on Douluo Continent."

As he traveled toward the city, Xiao Wujiu pondered this. After all, Douluo Continent's power system had always been called the floor tile of fantasy worlds. Its strength system definitely could not compare to Battle Through the Heavens.

"That said, Douluo Continent isn't without its merits. The soul skills granted by Spirit Rings should be similar to battle techniques. Some of them have powerful, heaven-defying effects. Even if they might not adapt perfectly in the Battle Through the Heavens world, they're still worth putting in some effort to acquire and play around with."

This absorption had granted him two soul skills. One was, as its name implied, Refining. Its effects needed no explanation. What made it valuable was that it could be used against enemies and strengthen his own refining ability, which would also be of some help in his future alchemy;

The other soul skill was called Soul Suppression. Within a certain range, it could forcibly suppress an enemy's soul. Those with weak soul power might even be directly suppressed to death!

"This is practically a hard counter against soul bodies!"

That was Xiao Wujiu's first impression. This was the wonder of Spirit Rings—they could directly grant abilities one had never possessed. In Battle Through the Heavens, such things would be extremely rare battle techniques!

"And it's not just Spirit Rings. Spirit Bones are also equivalent to soul skills. External Soul Bones, in particular, can grow alongside their owner. They're good stuff. I'll have to find a way to get a few later. Whether for myself or for trade, they'd be excellent."

Thinking this, Xiao Wujiu arrived at the gates of that city.

"Heaven Dou City? I actually came here?"

Looking at the three large characters above the city gate, an idea flashed through his mind. What he needed had come right to him.

At the city gate, he paid two gold coins and entered Heaven Dou City. Gold coins and Gold Soul Coins probably were not that different anyway; they were merely currency.

"Eh? Old Zhang, look at the pattern on the gold coins that kid handed over. Why is it different? The design doesn't look like a Gold Soul Coin either."

The middle-aged man who was called over was Old Zhang. After taking the gold coin and examining it, he found that its pattern and design truly did not resemble those of Gold Soul Coins.

"This isn't a Gold Soul Coin, at least not one we're familiar with. Instead, it looks more like... the style of old gold coins?"

Old Zhang speculated as wild guesses began forming in his mind. He was certain that this ancient style was not one he knew. Countless Gold Soul Coins passed through his hands every day. Even if there were older designs in circulation, they were still Gold Soul Coins issued by the Empire.

"But these two gold coins definitely aren't. Could that kid have dug up someone else's tomb?!"

"That must be it! And it must be a tomb that's been around for who knows how long! Damn it, report this immediately. It has to be reported! We must catch that kid! Of all things, he had to rob tombs!"

Old Zhang made a prompt decision, telling Little Li to continue collecting the entry fees while he immediately filed a report. If such an ancient tomb used gold coins as burial objects, who knew what other treasures had been buried within it?

Thus, the news was reported layer by layer and soon reached Crown Prince Qinghe, who was handling government affairs. As his abilities gradually came to light, Xue Ye had entrusted him with more matters, including those related to the city's defenses.

Inside the Crown Prince Palace.

Xue Qinghe, disguised by Qian Renxue, frowned slightly as she looked at the report submitted from below.

"A tomb robber? A type of Gold Soul Coin I've never seen before?"

She looked at the two Gold Soul Coins that had been sent along with the report. Sure enough, she had never seen them before. However, the patterns and some of the writing on them seemed different from anything she knew.

This made her keenly sense that something was wrong. Out of caution, Xue Qinghe immediately rose to leave, ordering, "Send word out. Search for this tomb robber with all your strength. I want to see this person within three hours!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

With that one command, all of Heaven Dou City sprang into action.

As for Xiao Wujiu, after asking around all the way, he arrived at Dugu Bo's residence in Heaven Dou City.
