Absorbing the Second Ring! Qian Renxue: I Can Level Up by Taking a Bath?

"Here, this is the Sword Horned Beast you wanted. Its cultivation has already reached six thousand years."

"Thank you for the trouble this time, Elder Gu Yue," Chu Ye said gratefully. Before coming here, he had actually had several precise targets in mind, and the Sword Horned Beast was one of them.

This was a large four-legged spirit beast, named for the horn on its head that resembled a sword.

"Oh, such a small matter isn't worth mentioning." Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand, then said, "Now, go absorb it. I'll protect you."

"Many thanks, Elder Gu Yue."

Chu Ye nodded. The Sword of Gods and Demons had already appeared in his hand, and with one strike, he ended the six-thousand-year Sword Horned Beast.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Second Spirit Ring.

As that six-thousand-year purple spirit ring was drawn out and attached itself to him, Chu Ye's body was instantly struck by a massive surge of spirit power energy!

The spirit ring gradually fused with him, and the spirit power within Chu Ye's body also began to soar rapidly.

Bang!

A moment later.

A wave of spirit power spread out!

Chu Ye's spirit power had broken through to level 21!

His spirit power was still surging. Very quickly, another wave of spirit power spread out—level 22!

It did not stop. It was still continuing!

Level 23!

Peak level 23! The restless spirit power around Chu Ye finally calmed down.

"Good heavens, Xiao Ye's spirit power actually rose three levels in a row!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was both shocked and delighted.

Chu Ye opened his eyes and felt the strength in his body at this moment. He clenched his fist slightly and said with a bit of surging emotion, "Peak level 23, huh? Just a little short again! Still, at most, I should be able to break through to level 24 in about ten days."

Chu Ye was fairly satisfied. Aside from stronger abilities, one major benefit of absorbing spirit rings above one's level was that it could quickly raise one's level.

Each time he absorbed a spirit ring, he could surge up several levels, saving several years of cultivation compared to others, or even ten or twenty years.

The gap in that was extremely large.

At just over seven years old, he was level 23. From awakening his martial spirit with Innate Full Soul Power at level 10 to cultivating to level 23 now, it had taken him less than a year and two months to rise thirteen levels!

This was a speed Chu Ye would never have dared imagine before.

Elsewhere, Qian Renxue, who had just finished bathing at home, was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly called through Mind Communication, "Chu Ye, have you already finished absorbing your spirit ring?"

Chu Ye replied, "How did you know?"

"My spirit power somehow broke through from level 36 to level 37! What a surprise! I thought about it, and it had to be because you absorbed a spirit ring."

Qian Renxue was very happy. She had never imagined that one day, she would level up right after taking a bath. She could even level up by bathing!

The Cultivation Sharing of the Contract of Life and Death did not only share improvements gained through cultivation. Spirit power that either party gained explosively through any means would be partially shared with the other.

And Qian Renxue's spirit power had already been cultivated close to the peak of level 36. Under Chu Ye's surge this time, she had therefore broken through directly.

Chu Ye smiled and said, "Heh, yes. After absorbing the spirit ring, my spirit power broke through to peak level 23."

As the two communicated through their minds, Chrysanthemum Douluo walked over and asked with great curiosity, "Xiao Ye, how is it? What kind of spirit ability did you obtain?"

"Elder Gu Yue, my Second Spirit Ability is a self-enhancement amplification type ability." Chu Ye did not explain in detail.

Chrysanthemum Douluo did not ask further either. "A self-enhancement amplification type spirit ability! Not bad. That's basically the type of ability every Assault System Soul Master will have."

"Yes." Chu Ye smiled. Among the spirit abilities of nine spirit rings, it was still necessary to take at least one amplification-type spirit ability. Regarding this, he was fairly satisfied.

This Second Spirit Ability was called Sword God Demon Body.

Strength, speed, and physical body—these three attributes were all amplified by one hundred percent. It also increased sword attack power by fifty percent, as well as the power of all sword-type spirit abilities by fifty percent.

It could be said to be very impressive. Sword God Demon Body was like a switch: release it first, and in that state, the power of all abilities would increase. Imagine if the Ninth Spirit Ability had its power amplified by fifty percent; how powerful the effect would be was easy to imagine.

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. We'll rest for the night and set off back tomorrow."

"Alright." That was exactly what Chu Ye wanted as well. Tonight, he intended to absorb the Fifty-Thousand-Year Phoenix Torso Bone.

Late at night.

At one or two in the morning, Chrysanthemum Douluo had already set up protective measures around them. At this depth, no spirit beast would dare approach, and the two of them could sleep at ease.

Looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was sound asleep, Chu Ye quietly got up and left. In the Star Dou Great Forest, he did not dare go too far. After reaching a suitable distance, he stopped, then took out the Phoenix Torso Bone.

"Come on. Soon, I'll be a Soul Master with a spirit bone too." Looking at the spirit bone before him that radiated fiery red light, Chu Ye could no longer wait. He immediately absorbed it.

A moment later, the absorption ended. This Fifty-Thousand-Year Phoenix Torso Bone officially fused with Chu Ye's body, becoming part of him.

Once a spirit bone was absorbed, it could not be removed. Basically, it would accompany one for life. Of course, after one's spirit power reached the realm of Title Douluo, it could be forcibly stripped away, but the price was cutting off the limb at the absorption site, and one's spirit power would directly drop by ten levels.

Therefore, absorbing a spirit bone was a very serious matter. However, the Phoenix Torso Bone could be upgraded infinitely, so there was no need to consider too much.

After Chu Ye finished absorbing it, his spirit power became even vaster, and his physical body also became much stronger.

What a spirit bone improved was not limited to its effects, special attributes, and spirit bone ability. In fact, it also improved the physical body and spirit power.

Spirit power did not mean an increase in Soul Power Level, but rather the capacity of spirit power. At the same level, someone with a spirit bone would have much greater spirit power.

"With my current strength, even if I face a Soul Ancestor-level expert, I won't fear them in the slightest. I wonder what would happen if I fought a Spirit King," Chu Ye analyzed.

After all, he had never truly fought one before, so he was not certain how many levels above himself he could challenge in an all-out battle.

Putting away his thoughts, he returned to Chrysanthemum Douluo's side.

When Chu Ye came back, he deliberately made a little noise. Chrysanthemum Douluo sensed the movement and woke up, asking, "Xiao Ye, where did you just go?"

"Oh, nowhere. I just walked around nearby."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is full of danger. With your current strength, you can't wander around carelessly!"

"I understand, I understand. Elder Gu Yue, no need to be so nervous." Chu Ye smiled.

Chrysanthemum Douluo had a serious expression, his face somewhat exaggerated as he said, "How could I not be nervous? If something happened to you while you were by my side, wouldn't Your Excellency the Pope kill me?"

Chu Ye said, "Relax, relax!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "I can't relax!"

Chu Ye smiled and walked over to sit down beside Chrysanthemum Douluo. Looking at the man beside him, whose appearance was somewhat enchanting, his impression of Chrysanthemum Douluo had actually already changed a great deal.

This man! He was not a good person, but he definitely could not be called an evil person either. In truth, good and evil were things that were difficult to explain clearly in many matters.

At least from Chu Ye's standpoint, Chrysanthemum Douluo was not bad.

He suddenly asked with a slightly meaningful tone, "Elder Gu Yue, I heard that for the past several decades, you have always been searching for a flower called Lovesick Heartbreak Red, right?"
