"But that doesn't make sense. Wasn't your First Soul Ring Hundred-Year Soul Ring? How did it suddenly become Thousand-Year Soul Ring?" Oscar asked, puzzled.
Qi Ling had already prepared an excuse for this, so she said, "Because the Golden Sacred Dragon's Soul Power is simply too strong, my body cannot absorb it at all."
"Perhaps it was this extra Soul Power that my Soul Ring absorbed, causing it to evolve."
Hearing Qi Ling's explanation, the others were no longer surprised. After all, too many inexplicable things had happened to Qi Ling, and they had become numb to it.
If things continue like this, it's likely that no one would be surprised if Qi Ling Heavenly Thrust became Titled Douluo the next day.
Qi Ling chose to possess the Divine Dragon Emperor because she wanted to use the Divine Dragon Emperor's Soul Skill to save Tang San.
" First Soul Skill: Nine Heavens Dragon Roar!" The purple First Soul Ring lit up, and Qi Ling's evolved Soul Skill was revealed to everyone for the first time.
The original Nine Heavens Dragon Roar only had one effect: forced stun. However, after the upgrade, Nine Heavens Dragon Roar can now be used on friendly teammates.
When used on an ally, the dragon's roar can bring the ally back to their senses, dispel all hallucinations and mental ailments, and keep them clear-headed.
Tang San, who was struggling against the evil thoughts of the Man Faced Demon Spider, suddenly heard his elder brother's familiar dragon roar in his ear.
Unlike before, this dragon's roar did not make him feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, it cleared his mind and made him much more lucid.
The evil thought that had been relentlessly tormenting him began to struggle painfully after the magnificent dragon's roar resounded, as if it were enduring immense suffering.
"A good opportunity!" Tang San seized the chance. With the help of the dragon's roar and his strong willpower, he managed to expel the evil thought from his mind.
All the onlookers saw was that, amidst Qi Ling's dragon roar, Tang San's complexion gradually improved, and the black aura Entanglement around him slowly receded downwards, eventually dissipating into nothingness in the air.
More importantly, the vitality within Tang San began to reappear, indicating that he had regained control, completed the absorption of the Soul Ring, and begun to circulate his power.
What followed seemed to unfold perfectly naturally. Eight Spider Lances sprouted from Tang San's back, suspending him high in the air. At the same time, a large amount of Blue Silver Grass grew, enveloping him like a cocoon.
"Alright, the most dangerous period for Xiao San is over. Now all we need to do is wait for him to finish absorbing the Soul Ring and emerge from his cocoon." Qi Ling found a tree to lean against and sat down. Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Hearing Qi Ling say that, everyone immediately felt relieved. Xiao Wu happily hugged Qi Ling's face and kissed him, saying, "Yay! I knew you were the best, Brother Qi!"
" Boss Qi is truly Boss Qi! Nothing can stump you!" Ma Hongjun said at this moment. "By the way, Boss Qi, how did you obtain this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? Tell us about it."
"Yeah, and what happened when you went after Xiao Wu? We're curious too. Did you really defeat that Titan Giant Ape?" Oscar boldly guessed.
" Xiao Ao, you're joking. An opponent of Titan Giant Ape's level is beyond my ability to handle," Qi Ling said. "Since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you."
Qi Ling then recounted the events that had occurred, highlighting the key points while omitting the details of Xiao Wu's identity.
When everyone heard that Qi Ling had actually teamed up with a Soul Douluo to defeat a giant dragon, they gasped in astonishment. It was like something out of a fairy tale; it was simply unbelievable.
The crowd listened as if to a story, and after Qi Ling finished recounting his experiences, they began to wait for Tang San to emerge from his cocoon. This wait lasted for a whole day and night.
The next day, Tang San, reborn, finally appeared before everyone, carrying eight Spider Spear on his back, making him look even more mysterious.
"Haha, Xiao San, how come you've grown eight spider legs? Are you going to turn into a giant spider in the future?" Ma Hongjun said, curiously reaching out to touch Tang San's Spider Spear.
"Careful!" "Don't touch it!" The voices of warning came from Qi Ling and Tang San at the same time, but unfortunately it was too late. Ma Hongjun's eyes glazed over once again, and he collapsed to the ground, poisoned.
"Sigh, really, when will you ever learn your lesson, you fatso!" Qi Ling said helplessly.
" Xiao San, use your spider legs to sting Fatty and suck out the toxins from his body! Otherwise, he's really going to die this time."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Tang San laboriously moved the Spider Spear on his back to detoxify Ma Hongjun, but he wondered why his elder brother seemed to know more about the Spider Spear than he did.
After celebrating Tang San's safety, everyone prepared to return to the hotel in town. Since everyone had gotten what they wanted, there was no need for them to stay any longer.
Just as Qi Ling was about to set off, she suddenly said to the others, "Oh, right, I still have something to take care of. You all go to the hotel in town and wait for me. I'll be right back."
Meng Yiran, who was searching for a suitable Soul Ring on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, casually kicked away a Jade Frog, looking uneasy.
Seeing his granddaughter like this, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, being someone who had been through it all, couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Yan Yi, don't worry, that boy will definitely be alright."
"Who, who said I was worried about him! I wasn't!" Meng Yiran said, but then added worriedly, " The Titan Giant Ape is so powerful, will he be alright?"
"Hehe, don't worry. Although Qi Ling seems reckless, he's actually quite shrewd. He won't act without being sure of the consequences," Meng Shu said with a smile.
"Hmph! This little thief still owes me a Soul Ring! I can't just let him get away with this," Meng Yiran said.
"Am I really that untrustworthy in your eyes? That really hurts my feelings." Just then, Qi Ling's voice came from above Meng Yiran's head, startling her.
Meng Yiran looked up and saw Qi Ling sitting on a tree branch, smiling brightly and sunnyly, looking down at Meng Yiran, while holding an unknown snake in his hand.
"What are you doing here? Where's that Titan Giant Ape?" Meng Yiran asked happily when she saw that Qi Ling was safe and sound.
"Hehe, it got away; I almost caught it," Qi Ling laughed.
"Hmph! Bullshit!" Meng Yiran said, skeptical.
"Don't believe me? Fine! This is the Soul Ring I promised to find for you. I'm not someone who goes back on their word." Qi Ling said, jumping down from the tree and placing the snake in her hand in front of Meng Yiran.
