Liu Erlong took another two days to finish absorbing her Soul Ring. During those two days, Su Ling and Hu Liena shared two intimate interactions, earning him a Purple Chest and a Black Chest.
"Su Ling, I did it!"
Nine Soul Rings lit up: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. By the Douluo Continent's current standards, this was the ideal configuration for a Titled Douluo.
"Sister Liu, what level has your Soul Power reached now?" Su Ling asked. Hu Liena also looked at Liu Erlong curiously.
"Level 95. I thought I might reach level 96," Liu Erlong said with some regret.
Advancing from level 95 to level 96 was extremely difficult, requiring far more energy than previous increases.
Although Liu Erlong had absorbed two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, she had started at level 88.
The energy contained in the first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring had raised her from level 88 to level 90, though the ring should have contained more energy than that.
Only when Liu Erlong absorbed her second Soul Ring had she fully absorbed all the energy from both rings. Thus, her Soul Power had only risen to level 95 at most.
This had been Su Ling's estimate as well: either level 94 or level 95. Level 96 had seemed rather unlikely.
"Sister Liu, reaching level 95 is already incredible," Hu Liena said. In truth, she was quite astonished herself.
How long had it been? Almost exactly a year, perhaps. Liu Erlong had started at level 86, yet she had reached level 95 in the blink of an eye.
Who on the continent would not be stunned by such rapid advancement?
And the driving force behind it all was Su Ling, who stood beside her.
The same held true for Hu Liena herself.
