The First Soul Ring That Bankrupted the Family

"Ding, the Soul Ring Shop has been opened as per the host's request."

Hearing the system's response, Lin Yi's lips curved slightly. He glanced at the first few pages of the Soul Ring Shop and pouted.

"These are all Lower-Grade Divine Soul Rings. How could they possibly suit me!"

"Does the host wish to enter the next tier of Divine Soul Ring shops?"

Lin Yi grunted, and the interface for Lower-Grade Divine Soul Rings quickly switched to Intermediate Divine Soul Rings. However, to Lin Yi's great surprise, although there was only one tier difference between lower and intermediate, the prices were worlds apart.

"Intermediate Divine Soul Rings are this expensive? Isn't this just robbing me blind?"

Lin Yi felt a bit helpless. He looked at the amount of money displayed by the system. Although the price of Intermediate Divine Soul Rings was somewhat hard to accept, with his current savings, buying ten or eight wouldn't even make a dent.

"Forget it, forget it. Just open the Top-Grade Divine Soul Ring interface directly."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, the system chimed and changed the interface to the purchase screen for Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings. However, none of the soul rings displayed had prices marked.

"No prices? Could it be that Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings are free?"

Lin Yi quickly dismissed this thought. When had the system ever been so kind as to let him get something for free? This was simply not displayed.

"I won't think about it anymore. No matter how expensive it is, buying three first shouldn't be a big problem!"

Lin Yi thought to himself as he examined the attributes listed for the Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings.

"Plant-Type Divine Soul Ring. Not suitable for me. Are there any Assault-Type ones?"

After browsing for a long time, he still couldn't find a Top-Grade Divine Soul Ring that he fancied. Just as Lin Yi was about to give up and go cultivate, a soul ring suddenly lit up, catching his eye.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi clicked on this soul ring, and the description made him extremely happy.

"Top-Grade Divine Soul Ring, left behind by the First Generation Dragon God before his death, suitable for Dragon-type Assault Divine Soul Masters."

"This is good. My martial soul is the Dragon God, so it will fit perfectly. System, I want to buy this soul ring."

"Ding, confirm purchase?"

"I confirm."

As Lin Yi spoke, the system automatically purchased the Divine Soul Ring and placed it in Lin Yi's backpack. However, to his great shock, his savings were completely wiped out.

"Damn it! Is this worthless thing this expensive! System, I want a refund!"

No matter how much he shouted, the system seemed to have fallen asleep, offering no response at all. Helpless, Lin Yi could only be frustrated. He opened his backpack and looked at the Divine Soul Ring inside, muttering to himself, "I hope you don't disappoint me. Buying you cost all my savings!"

Lin Yi chuckled wryly as he selected the Divine Soul Ring from his backpack. The soul ring disappeared and, with a swish, fused into his body. Lin Yi could clearly feel his Soul Power increase slightly, reaching level one hundred and thirty-seven.

"Level one hundred and thirty-seven? Absorbing this soul ring actually increased my Soul Power by one level? It seems this soul ring is much better than I imagined."

With that, Lin Yi exited the system and jumped off the bed. He couldn't wait to see what kind of power the soul ring he had bought with his entire fortune possessed.

However, Lin Yi was soon very disappointed. He had no idea what the function of this first Divine Soul Ring was. Even when he released his martial soul, there were no prompts.

"What's going on?" Lin Yi pondered for a long time, unable to figure out why. Finally, he walked out of the room, deciding to ask Tang San.

"Third Brother!"

Lin Yi arrived at the main hall of the Sea God Hall and saw Tang San sitting there, holding the Sea God Trident. Hearing his call, Tang San stood up and walked over to him.

"What is it? Weren't you cultivating your Divine Soul Ring?"

"Yes! My first soul ring has been cultivated."

"What?" Tang San looked at Lin Yi in surprise, unable to believe what he had heard.

"Release it, let me see!"

Lin Yi nodded and released his Dragon God Martial Soul. Behind him, a massive dragon phantom appeared, astonishing even Tang San.

"Third Brother, I have indeed cultivated my first soul ring, but why can't I feel its power?"

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Feel it after you use your Martial Soul True Body!"

Heeding his advice, Lin Yi didn't hesitate and directly activated his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body. He transformed into the Dragon God himself, and he could clearly feel that he was now countless times stronger than when he first arrived in the God Realm.

"Use your heart to release the Divine Soul Ring!"

Lin Yi grunted and felt the power the Dragon God brought him with his whole being. Soon, he discovered that in his Dantian, there was a seven-colored soul ring, which slowly began to appear on his body.

"This... this is actually a Top-Grade Divine Soul Ring!?" Tang San looked at the seven-colored light emanating from him in surprise and said, "You are the first person besides me to cultivate a Top-Grade Divine Soul Ring, and it's your first one!"

Lin Yi smiled helplessly and thought to himself, "This is a soul ring I bought with my entire fortune. If the quality is too poor, how can I go on living!"

Of course, Tang San would never know this. Lin Yi chuckled and said, "Perhaps my talent is the same as yours, Third Brother!"

"No, your talent has already surpassed mine. By the way, what about your second and third soul rings? Release them, let me see?"

"This..."

"What? Could it be that your second and third soul rings are also Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings?"

Tang San looked at Lin Yi in astonishment. Could it be that Lin Yi was like him? All the soul rings he cultivated were Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings? If that were the case, the ranking of the Dragon God in the God Realm would be on par with his Sea God.

"Not quite. It's just that I haven't cultivated my second and third soul rings yet!"

Lin Yi scratched his head awkwardly. He had gone bankrupt just buying his first soul ring, so how could he afford the second and third? Fortunately, the system hadn't cheated him. With Tang San's confirmation, the soul ring he had purchased was indeed top-grade.

"So that's how it is. But it's good. Cultivating your first Top-Grade Divine Soul Ring must have consumed a lot of Soul Power. It's fine to rest before cultivating the other two. Wait! You broke through again?"

Tang San then noticed that Lin Yi's Soul Power had stabilized at level one hundred and thirty-seven, an increase of one level from the morning. Although cultivating a Divine Soul Ring could indeed increase Soul Power, Tang San had never seen anyone like Lin Yi before.
