"Exhilarating?" Qi Ling thought about it carefully, then clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Yes! Sister, your description is so apt! Fighting with a sword is great in every way, but it's definitely not exhilarating enough!"
"Of course! I'm your older sister. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice!" Bibi Dong said proudly.
"Hmm, you have pretty strong tastes, sister," Qi Ling said quipped.
"Shut up!" Bibi Dong scolded angrily, "The use of weapons is closely related to a person's personality. Swords are meant to be used to win through skill, not for brute force. But you, my friend, are the type who love to charge ahead, so this is naturally not the right time for you."
"Then tell me, sister, what weapon is most suitable for me?" Qi Ling asked. "Is it also a spear?"
"I can't say for sure," Bibi Dong said. "There are countless weapons in this world; who knows which one is best for you?" "Perhaps, when the time is right, you will naturally know."
"But before that, you might as well try it out and see if there's a weapon you like the most."
After listening to Bibi Dong's advice, Qi Ling went to Dragon's Glory's armory, which housed almost every type of weapon. Although they weren't exactly divine weapons, they were all made of fine iron.
To suit his personality, since the sword didn't work, Qi Ling's first thought was a knife. So he picked up a hundred-refined steel knife and tried it out in the air, but it didn't feel like he had imagined at all.
Afterwards, Qi Ling tried more than ten kinds of weapons, long and short, big and small, but none of them were satisfactory.
"Sigh, do I have to wreak havoc in the Dragon Palace like Sun Wukong before I can find the right weapon for myself?" Qi Ling sighed helplessly. "It seems that, as my sister said, the time is not yet ripe."
"Fine, what's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced. I feel pretty good hitting people with my own fists."
Afterwards, Qi Ling stopped dwelling on the matter and instead used the system to check on the situation of everyone inside the Starry Sky Barrier.
Although it was called "observation," Qi Ling couldn't directly see their actual condition. Instead, she could sense whether they were in good condition, whether their mental state was stable, and their cultivation progress.
Even if time flows at one percent of normal speed within the Starry Sky Barrier, it still takes at least three and a half days to equal a year.
According to Qi Ling's estimate, everyone's condition can last at least two years, which is seven days. Beyond that, it depends on the individual, since the pressure they need to endure at that time will be quite astonishing.
Given everyone's aptitude, two years in such a spiritually rich environment should be enough for them to raise their Soul Power by at least four levels, or even more.
More importantly, although they may have spent several years inside, their physical age actually only increased by a few days!
One can imagine how enormous the benefits they would gain would be, no less than obtaining a Immortal Herb. It's as if Qi Ling forcibly helped them gain a cheat code, and a super-fast one at that.
Because this opportunity was so precious, Qi Ling repeatedly warned everyone before they entered that they must not come out until they reached their limit, otherwise they would really miss this chance!
In fact, Qi Ling was quite relieved by everyone's situation. Seven days had passed and no one had come out, which proved that everyone had withstood the enormous pressure and was challenging their limits.
In seven days, everyone's Soul Power Level has improved significantly, and the person who has made the most significant progress is surprisingly the Qi Ling Yu Tianyi!
This girl is not only the youngest, but also seems to have exceptional talent. While the others' Soul Power generally increased by about four levels, and some outstanding individuals increased by five levels, she is the only one whose Soul Power increased by six levels!
This is enough to show that Yu Tianyi is indeed the most outstanding successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Qi Ling couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her talent. It seems that taking this disciple was a worthwhile decision.
On the ninth day, the first person finally emerged. Feng Xiaotian, unable to withstand the immense pressure, chose to withdraw.
When he came out and discovered that he was the first one to quit, he said with a hint of disappointment, "Huh? Really? I thought that even if I didn't make it to the end, I wouldn't be the first one out, would I?"
"What do you think? Feng Xiaotian, you've set a great example for me!" Qi Ling said viciously. "What level is your Soul Power? If you're not level 70, I'll skin you alive!"
"No, no, no, Boss Qi, I've met the requirement, I've met the requirement!" Feng Xiaotian hurriedly said, "I only came out when my Soul Power reached level 70 and I really couldn't hold on any longer."
"Hmm, that's alright," Qi Ling said. "Then let's wait together. By the way, don't try to acquire your Seventh Soul Ring casually; I have other plans."
"What? Boss Qi, you mean you've even prepared our Seventh Soul Ring?" Feng Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise. "My god! Boss Qi, if I were a woman, I'd marry you right now!"
"Get lost, go cool off somewhere else," Qi Ling said helplessly. "I've prepared the Soul Ring for you, but whether you can get them depends on your own fate! If you're unlucky, there's no use blaming anyone."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian asked in bewilderment, " Boss Qi, isn't a Soul Ring supposed to belong to whoever kills the Soul Beast? How come it depends on fate? Does a Soul Ring choose its own master?"
"Yes, you're absolutely right. The Soul Ring I've prepared for you will choose their own masters!" Qi Ling laughed. "Not only that, the Soul Ring I'm giving you will be the easiest to obtain."
"These Soul Ring not only eliminate the need for you to Soul Hunting beasts, but also do not produce any stress or side effects during absorption. They are even comparable to the effect of Soul Beast sacrifice!"
"More importantly, the Soul Ring I'm preparing for all of you will all be over 100,000 years old! That means, if you're lucky, each of you can obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian was completely shocked by Qi Ling's words, because it meant that Qi Ling would need to prepare at least ten or more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. But where was he supposed to find ten or more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Did Boss Qi pack up all the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on the entire continent?
"My God, Boss Qi, are you really a god? This is completely beyond my comprehension!" Feng Xiaotian said. " Boss Qi, can you tell me first where our Soul Ring are?"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Don't worry, I will take you there once everyone has finished their seclusion," Qi Ling said.
