The First Soul Ring, a Rule-Based Soul Skill!?

Luofan revealed his martial soul at once.

A nine-story Golden Exquisite Pagoda appeared!

At the same time, he released his level 10 soul power without holding anything back.

"Your Highness, I awakened my martial soul yesterday!"

"My martial soul is the Golden Exquisite Pagoda."

"And I have innate full soul power!" Luofan explained.

"A top-tier tool martial soul, and innate full soul power too!?"

Looking at the phantom martial soul behind Luofan and sensing the fluctuations of soul power radiating from him, Xue Qinghe confirmed that he was indeed level 10. Surprise and delight filled his heart.

Had I really just picked up a peerless genius by chance?

Behind Xue Qinghe, the two Titled Douluos, Pufferfish and Snake Lance, exchanged glances, their faces filled with amazement.

A top-tier martial soul and innate full soul power made someone a peerless genius anywhere.

And their young lord had simply picked one up by the roadside?

Was this the legendary saying that good deeds brought good rewards?

"All right, come with us. When it comes to pagoda martial souls, I do know a little about which soul rings to hunt!"

If his earlier willingness to take Luofan in had come purely from compassion...

Then now, Xue Qinghe already regarded Luofan as a peerless genius, and naturally placed even greater importance on him.

Traveling with Xue Qinghe, with two Titled Douluos accompanying them, was naturally as safe as could be!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not far from Heaven Dou City, and Sunset Forest was the most convenient place near the city to hunt for soul rings!

After entering the forest and searching for a day, they successfully found the soul ring Xue Qinghe needed: a ten-thousand-year soul beast with a light attribute!

Once Xue Qinghe absorbed his soul ring and broke through to the Soul King rank, their next task was to hunt for Luofan's soul ring!

After half a day of searching, Xue Qinghe successfully found a soul beast around four hundred years old for Luofan.

He explained that his teacher was the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and that this soul beast was therefore the best match for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.

"Your Highness, mine is the Golden Exquisite Pagoda. It isn't purely a support-type martial soul!" Although Luofan knew Xue Qinghe had made a good choice, he still corrected him.

After hearing this and discussing it, they found a Rock Mystic Tortoise around four hundred years old to serve as Luofan's soul ring instead.

Once Luofan delivered the finishing blow, a yellow soul ring emerged.

Luofan sat cross-legged and began absorbing it.

A four-hundred-year soul ring was close to the limit one could absorb as a first soul ring, so Luofan felt considerable strain while absorbing it!

Still, he could hold on.

Time ticked by. After a little over ten minutes, Luofan guided the yellow soul ring around his body, completing its absorption!

At the same time, Luofan's soul power level broke through as well!

Rather than merely advancing from level 10 to level 11, he skipped straight to level 12.

"Luofan, how do you feel?" Xue Qinghe asked expectantly after watching him finish absorbing it.

"Your Highness, I'm level 12 now. My soul skill is Suppression, a pretty good attack and control skill!" A smile spread across Luofan's face.

Whatever else, someone had helped him successfully obtain his first soul ring, and a powerful one that suited him well at that. Luofan felt quite grateful to Xue Qinghe.

"Oh? Why don't you show me?" Xue Qinghe asked eagerly.

Luofan nodded, swept his gaze around, and fixed it on a millstone-sized rock nearby!

He hurled the Exquisite Pagoda in his hand. At the same time, his yellow soul ring appeared, and the palm-sized Exquisite Pagoda rapidly expanded in midair into a golden pagoda a full two meters tall before crashing down!

With a bang, the millstone-sized rock shattered beneath it!

At the same time, Luofan explained, "The first part of my soul skill delivers a blunt-force attack. Then it lands on the target and suppresses them. Anyone whose soul power level is lower than mine can be suppressed for ten seconds. For anyone above my level, the suppression duration decreases by half a second for every level they have over me!"

"An attack combined with rule-based hard control? That's a top-tier soul skill!" Xue Qinghe looked amazed as he listened to Luofan's description. In other words, as long as someone was less than twenty levels above him, he could forcibly suppress them for a moment, couldn't he?

Among all soul skills, some could be classified as top-tier purely by their effects, such as percentage-based enhancement skills or certain skills with rule-based effects! Luofan's Suppression clearly belonged to the latter category!

According to his explanation, even though it was only his first soul skill, once he reached the Soul Douluo rank—or even the Soul Saint rank—wouldn't he be able to forcibly control a Titled Douluo?

With both Xue Qinghe and Luofan successfully obtaining their soul rings, their trip to Sunset Forest came to a perfect conclusion!

The group quickly headed back to Heaven Dou City!

"Little brother, with your top-tier martial soul and innate full soul power, you're one of the greatest geniuses on the entire continent. As long as your growth goes smoothly, you can look forward to becoming a Titled Douluo!" On the return journey, Xue Qinghe made no attempt to hide his praise for Luofan!

"Your Highness, please stop flattering me. You're a fifteen-year-old Five-Ring Soul King! If word of that got out, people would really be stunned!"

Trading compliments was simply a social courtesy, and Luofan understood that much.

"Luofan, once we return to Heaven Dou City, I hope you won't tell anyone that I'm a Five-Ring Soul King!" Although Luofan's words pleased Xue Qinghe, he still reminded him.

"All right!" Luofan nodded without hesitation.

"Aren't you going to ask why I want to hide it?" Seeing how readily Luofan agreed, Xue Qinghe found it rather strange.

"There's no need to ask. If you're telling me not to say anything, Your Highness, you must have your reasons!" Luofan's approach was to be good and obedient!

His answer made the corners of Xue Qinghe's mouth lift slightly. Clearly, he was very satisfied.

Their journey back to Heaven Dou City went smoothly!

Xue Qinghe had someone arrange for Luofan to stay at his residence!

"You two, go investigate Luofan's background!" After sending Luofan to rest in his room, Xue Qinghe instructed Pufferfish and Snake Lance.

"Yes, Young Lord!" The two Douluos nodded as a matter of course!

A prodigy with a top-tier martial soul and innate full soul power, simply picked up by the roadside?

It was a little too unbelievable!

Although they did not suspect that a child like Luofan had deliberately approached them with some hidden scheme...

Something this unusual still had to be thoroughly investigated before they could feel at ease.

Leaving aside what Xue Qinghe and the others were thinking...

Meanwhile, the residence's steward arranged a private courtyard for Luofan to live in, along with two maids and two servants!

These accommodations were even better than what Luofan had enjoyed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

After all, although he had people attending to him there, they primarily served his grandfather. As a child, he had merely benefited by association!

After waving everyone away, Luofan sat alone in his room and opened the golden entry system interface!

Having obtained his first soul ring, he had earned another chance to choose one of three golden entries.

What kind of golden entries would be generated for me to choose from this time?
