Soul Saint Ling Yi
Three days later.
"Senior Chen Xin, how is your father...?"
On the way to ' Spirit City ', Ling Yi rode his Treading Snow Xue and asked Chen Xin, who was also riding beside him.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's question, Chen Xin did not answer immediately. Instead, she subconsciously turned her head and looked at the luxurious carriage dozens of meters behind her.
Chen Jianjun is currently in that carriage... well, in seclusion for cultivation.
Or rather, comprehending the way of the sword?
Anyway, ever since he sparred with "Erlang" three days ago and the group set off, his father, Chen Jianjun, has been in the carriage and hasn't come out since.
It neither eats nor drinks, and makes no other movement.
Although Chen Xin knew that after breaking through to the Titled Douluo, people at their level could sustain their bodies by absorbing external energy for a period of time, thus eliminating the need for excretion, it still felt a bit strange to keep holding it in.
Chen Xin understood perfectly well why his father was hiding inside the carriage and refusing to come out.
He was familiar with this experience.
He had done the same thing before when he was being suppressed by "Erlang". Now the roles are reversed. It is now that his father, Chen Jianjun, has gone into seclusion and is not coming out. Chen Xin the one who is staying outside.
"It's nothing~" Chen Xin turned around, looked up at the ever-changing clouds in the distance, and said with a wistful expression, "One day, he will get used to it."
Ling Yi: "..."
It's only because he has a strong enough mentality that Ling Yi almost couldn't hold back just now.
"If only I had held back a little longer!"
Thinking this way, Ling Yi didn't reflect on it too much. After all, at his level of strength, it was rare to encounter an opponent with whom he could go his own way. When they started fighting, it was easy to get carried away and accidentally use too much force, causing the opponent to become depressed.
Of course, the reason why I "accidentally" Chen Jianjun too much force when fighting with "Erlang" was because I heard Chen Jianjun say that he wanted to challenge "Wudi in the Sky" Qian Daoliu and see what the Level 99 realm was like.
In order to prevent Qian Daoliu from getting carried away and being unable to stop, Ling Yi had no choice but to reluctantly let "Erlang" strike hard first, so that Chen Jianjun could see the level he wanted to see in advance, so as not to affect the friendly relations between Lingyun City and Qian Daoliu Spirit Hall due to the battle between Chen Jianjun and Qian Daoliu.
Regardless of how arrogant and disdainful Qian Xunji, the current Pope, may be, given the network of connections Ling Yi has cultivated within the Spirit Hall, it's not an exaggeration to say that the two sides have a friendly relationship!
"By the way, Ah Yi, you didn't tell me that you actually broke through to level 70 before that girl Ah Yin!"
Chen Xin clearly didn't want to continue discussing the previous topic, so she changed the subject and steered the conversation towards Ling Yi.
That's right, Ling Yi is now a Soul Saint at Level 71!
Yes, that's true on the surface. His actual Soul Power should be 88% of level 72, but Ling Yi reported one level less to appease those around him.
Anyway, he doesn't rely on level one or two Soul Power to make a living.
Just kidding! The second spirit, "Erlang," just barely managed to thoroughly humiliate the level 97 Super Douluo Chen Jianjun with its five black and one red super spirit rings, leaving him utterly demoralized!
If he were to show his true colors, Erlang wouldn't even need to fight. Just revealing his seven fully red Soul Ring would probably make Chen Jianjun question his very existence!
Others may not know that Erlang's "Qi and Blood Soul Ring" was formed by absorbing millions of "Qi and Blood Blue Silver Grass" that were over ten years old.
They would only think that "Erlang" killed seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and hunted down seven Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
It's important to know that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast not only means Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but also guarantees the appearance of Soul Bone — Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
Some experienced Soul Master know that the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone dropped after a Soul Beast that has been hunted for more than 100,000 years must be a part that the killer does not have, unless the killer already has all six Soul Bone, or the Soul Beast has special circumstances that can only produce Soul Bone of a specific part.
Seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast mean that "Erlang" possesses a complete set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, with one still remaining!
Of course, the truth is that Erlang doesn't have a single Soul Bone on him.
Not to mention Erlang, even Ling Yi has only handled three Soul Bone so far.
They merely handled it; they did not truly take it over.
However, although he does not have Soul Bone, it does not mean that in terms of equipment, "Erlang" is inferior to high-end Soul Master such as Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Tang Hao who have a full set of Soul Bone.
The "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade," the Spirit Refinement soul weapon that Ling Yi crafted after becoming Divine Craftsman, is several levels superior to the "Azure Nether Divine Sword" that Tang Yuehua casually forged! The raw materials used in it are all legendary treasures of the Douluo Continent, such as "Deep Sea Sunken Silver Silver Mother," "Cold Heart Iron Essence," "Volcanic Copper Marrow," and "Thunderous Purple Gold Stone," and even the craftsmanship is beyond its time.
After being refined into Martial Soul, as Erlang's strength grew, to give a very intuitive figure, the normal weight of the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" in Erlang's hand when he was at level 68 had already reached 10,800 jin!
Now, with Ling Yi's sudden enlightenment and entry into the state of Fetal Breathing Sitting in Forgetfulness, his entire body and mind have been cleansed by heaven and earth. Erlang's Soul Power has also reached level 72 or above after condensing the Seventh Soul Ring of 100,000 years!
Consequently, the standard weight of the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" has also skyrocketed to 18,000 catties!
It weighs the same as the "Clear Sky Hammer" in Tang Chen's hand at Level 99.
As for the divine armor of the three newly born gods in the original timeline, it's hard to say about Tang San's "Sea God Divine Raiment". After all, even without considering the External Soul Bone "Eight Spider Lances", the torso bone provided by the "Deep Sea Demon Whale King" alone, which is almost a million years old, is at the ceiling level of Douluo Star.
However, Qian Renxue's "Angel God Raiment" was originally just six Soul Bone that were 99,999 years old. When they were put together, it was just a set of six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Compared to the "Angel God Raiment," Ling Yi had more confidence in the "Armor of Divine Sealing" that he had personally crafted! Whether it was its defensive capabilities or the boost it provided to his combat power!
As for the various Soul Skill that Soul Bone can bring, for Ling Yi and "Erlang", they can only be considered icing on the cake. If they have them, they can study them; if they don't, it doesn't matter, as it won't affect their combat power.
Even a near-bug-like rule-based Soul Skill like ' Invincible Golden Body ' isn't something Ling Yi should take seriously right now.
All he knew was that when he could style the Douluo Star beneath his feet into a middle part, the so-called "Invincible Golden Body" that could withstand attacks below the god level for three seconds could be easily destroyed!
As for abilities like Gui Mei that allow them to Intangibility shadows, Ling Yi can still use his mental power to erase them from the spiritual level!
Another type of ability is control, such as the so-called strongest control skill in the Divine Realm, the first halberd of the "Golden Thirteen Halberds" - Unfixed Storm, which is said to be the strongest restrictive skill. No matter how strong the opponent is, it can restrict them from moving for three to eight seconds.
Ling Yi had never seen this move before and could not give a definite answer, but he knew one thing: all control methods could not escape two aspects.
That is, mind and body!
No matter how flawed this "Unfixed Storm" is, it either targets the physical body or the mind of the target; at most, it works from both aspects simultaneously.
Thoughts surged in his mind. Ling Yi raised his hand and gently stroked the void in front of him. His fingertips touched the surface of water as if touching the water. Ripples of space were reflected in his eyes. He chuckled and responded to Chen Xin, saying, "I suddenly had a little enlightenment a few days ago. After taking a nap, my Soul Power naturally increased. I was quite surprised."
Chen Xin ()!!!
"Um... I'll go check in the back. I wonder what that kid Li Zhishu has prepared for lunch..."
Not wanting to speak to Ling Yi anymore, Chen Xin gave a tactical cough, then pulled on the reins, turned her horse around, and galloped towards the back of the group.
"Hehe—!" *4
Several suppressed laughs came from not far away. Ling Yi turned around and saw Yang Shelly, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, Ah Rou gathered together, covering their mouths and laughing as they looked at him and Chen Xin.
Yang Shelly rode Hongjun, dressed in light black armor, looking like a female general in the army. She looked heroic and full of momentum!
Liu Erlong was dressed in red and black leather armor, but what she rode was a sub-dragon beast with crimson scales all over its body, resembling an enlarged version of a velociraptor—"One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast"!
In terms of cultivation, this "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" is only a little over five hundred years old, but its dragon might is so great that if members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the White Armored Earth Dragon Sect were here, they would be surprised to find that it is no less powerful than a dragon beast with ten thousand years of cultivation!
In comparison, the "Wind Shadow Leopard" that Ah Yin and Ah Rou were riding together seemed rather ordinary. If it weren't for its light steps and the faint wind element surrounding it as it moved, it would look no different from an ordinary leopard with mottled blue fur. At most, it was just a bit larger.
Listening to the silvery laughter of the two real aunties on his back, Wind Shadow tried his best to make his journey smooth without any bumps. At the same time, he restrained his cultivation aura, which had reached 1,600 years, and obediently learned from Ling Yi's Treading Snow and Yang Shelly's Lie Gale to be a qualified mount.
As for the large, clumsy creature beside him, Wind Shadow's crystal-yellow vertical pupils secretly glanced at the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" next to him, a hint of mockery in his eyes: 'So arrogant, don't go back and get slaughtered, scales for armor, flesh for food...'
Seemingly sensing Wind Shadow's gaze, the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast," named "Yi" by Liu Erlong, turned its neck ninety degrees to look at the "Wind Shadow Leopard" beside it, releasing a thought through its eyes:
"What are you looking at?!"
Despite the fact that the other party's cultivation level is much higher than his own, Yi is confident that if they were to really fight, he and his master would be able to have an extra meal tonight—a whole roasted leopard!
Faced with Yi's provocation, Wind Shadow rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Seeing that Wind Shadow did not respond, Yi was about to grin and show a victor's smile when he suddenly saw two beautiful figures on Wind Shadow's back, turning their gaze towards him.
Yi could swear that, as a sub-dragon with the bloodline of a "Fire Dragon," it had never felt what cold was. Except for the time it followed its master into that strange pool valley, where it curiously moved closer to the white pool.
But now, Yi suddenly realized that under the gaze of these two eyes, his body seemed even colder than when he entered the white pool of water!
"Smack—!"
A crisp sound, accompanied by a slight stinging sensation on his head, pulled Yi back to reality, as if he had fallen into a frozen wasteland.
At the same time, the master's scolding voice rang in Yi's ears. "Walk properly, or I'll kill you and eat you!"
It was clear that Liu Erlong, as the owner of the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" Yi, was not in a very good mood at the moment.
She had made ample preparations, but in recent days, one thing after another has happened, causing her plans to be postponed again and again, and she has not yet taken the second step.
This made Liu Erlong's mood feel like a volcano about to erupt. Although she could still chat and laugh with Yang Shelly and other women on the surface, she could vent her anger over the slightest thing.
"Phew—" Liu Erlong breathed a long sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes glancing at Ling Yi not far away. She silently told herself, "No rush, no rush, there will always be a chance!"
Noticing Liu Erlong's gaze and the change in his expression, Yang Shelly, who was riding alongside, and Ah Yin on the back of "Wind Shadow Leopard" exchanged a smile but said nothing more.
Ah Rou, who was holding Ah Yin's slender waist, saw all of this. Her red crystal eyes revealed a thoughtful look, as well as a hint of eagerness.
The next day, around noon.
After nearly four days of travel, Ling Yi and his group finally arrived outside ' Spirit City '.
Before even entering the city, the Spirit Hall, having received the news first, sent a rather impressive team to meet them a few miles outside the city.
Ling Yi understood that the importance and respect conveyed by this display of force were not directed at him, but rather at Chen Xin and Chen Jianjun within the group.
Titled Douluo, truly the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, a figure standing atop the mountain.
Even if he were all alone, he could still stand on equal footing with the emperors of the two great empires!
In comparison, Ling Yi, who has just broken through to the Seven-Ring Soul Sage realm, is still not taken seriously by a super power like the Spirit Hall, even though the power of his Lingyun City is growing rapidly and its wealth has surpassed that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, making him the richest man in the world.
Especially the current Pope, the man named Qian Xunji.
