Douluo: My Custom Achievement System
After all, every major power has to buy Bloodline Attribute Ore, and since all the ores have been controlled by the Shrek Academy, these major powers have no choice but to accept the high prices.
Therefore, a profit margin of 40% is already a terrifying figure.
Fifteen million gold coins is indeed very expensive, but for the Martial Soul Research Institute, it's not a major blow.
Today, the Martial Soul Research Institute has expanded into many businesses.
For example, providing guidance services on Soul Ring fusion to some large families of Soul Master.
After all, the theory was published by Jiang Yi, the chief researcher of the Martial Soul Research Institute, so he must be a member of the Martial Soul Research Institute and would be most knowledgeable about how to use the theory for cultivation.
After this business started, it became very popular among Soul Master across the continent, and the number of researchers at the Martial Soul Research Institute was insufficient.
The funds that can be generated can also greatly supplement the Martial Soul Research Institute.
So spending some money won't cause any problems for Jiang Yi, since all the money in the Martial Soul Research Institute ultimately comes from his earnings.
Without his theories, the Martial Soul Research Institute would not be able to operate.
The Life's Fury Right Arm Bone was placed in a completely sealed box, which, according to the people at the auction house, was to prevent the Soul Bone from devouring Life Force.
On the way back to the Star Emperor Hotel, Lin Yu once again instructed him to be absolutely certain before absorbing the Soul Bone.
Jiang Yi nodded seriously, but he didn't actually need to make any preparations.
In a sense, this Soul Bone was tailor-made for him.
There are two difficulties in fusing with this Soul Bone: one is the violent Life Force within it, and the other is the rage of living beings contained within it, which is essentially a mental attack.
He can easily solve both of these problems.
He was completely unafraid of the violent Life Force, for he possessed the achievement of the Fate's Sole Foundation, giving him infinite capacity and stability to bear life energy.
Even with Soul Bone that's only 70,000 years old, no matter how violent its Life Force is, it can't break him.
As for mental attacks, there's even less to worry about; his Spiritual Power is already strong, and he also has Electrolux's presence.
What kind of psychological attacks cannot be easily resolved?
Now, the obstacle preventing him from fusing with the Soul Bone is time, because the elimination rounds are tomorrow, and at this critical juncture, he definitely cannot fuse with it.
The next day, early morning, at Star Luo Plaza.
The Shrek Academy students arrived at the rest area early, followed by the other representative teams.
As the knockout stage began, the audience's enthusiasm grew even higher, and the Star Luo Empire seemed to have allowed even more spectators in, creating a dense, dark atmosphere all around.
The situation on the other side has become much quieter, with only sixteen teams remaining.
Each team represents a powerful Soul Master Academy across the entire Douluo Continent.
There will be four matches in the knockout stage today, with the Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy both playing.
As the sun rose higher, its rays bathed the entire Star Luo Plaza. After a period of waiting, the competition was finally ready to begin.
"The first match of the round of 16 is between the Shrek Academy and the Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Both teams have entered the waiting area to prepare for the match."
The audience erupted in cheers, Shrek Academy also sent out their team members for the battle.
Jiang Yi, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochеn, Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Sanshi are the seven people.
This is the strongest lineup they can field right now.
"Both teams, take your places!" the referee shouted again.
Seven students from the Shrek Academy, led by Ma Xiaotao, stepped onto the fighting stage.
On the other side, the Dou Ling Royal Academy also came up on the stage to face Shrek Academy, and everyone's eyes met.
Sparks seemed to fill the air. Although Shrek Academy displayed unprecedented strength, every team participating in the competition wanted to win.
Those who make it to the top 16 are naturally not afraid of strong opponents.
The captain of the Dou Ling Royal Academy was a young man with a large frame, who looked thin and bony, but had bright, piercing eyes.
"It's an honor to face Shrek Academy," the young man said.
"Your name seems to be Gu Zhujian, right?" Dai Yueheng suddenly said at this moment.
Gu Zhujian was also taken aback, then asked curiously, "Have we met before? You seem somewhat familiar."
"I was a member of the Shrek Academy's reserve team last year," Dai Yueheng said with a faint smile.
"I see." Gu Zhujian didn't say anything more and walked back to the group.
At the referee's instruction, both fighters moved to the edge of the ring.
Jiang Yi gazed at the Dou Ling Royal Academy opposite him, recalling the information he had gained from watching their match earlier.
Captain Gu Zhujian, a level 57 Power Attack System Battle Soul King, Martial Soul is called Purple Imperial Bamboo, is extremely powerful in combat.
Vice Captain Qian Yuan possesses Soul Power level of 53 and a top-tier Martial Soul, the Terrorclaw Bear, which excels in both offense and defense; his strength should not be underestimated.
Their core member is Xiao Feng, who possesses the Mystery Pearl, Mental Attribute Martial Soul that can strongly influence the environment and has considerable control over it.
The other two Soul King are Chi Hengyu, a level 52 Defense System Battle Soul King, and Han Ling'er, a level 51 Agility Attack System Battle Soul King.
The remaining two Soul Ancestor are Tang Niuniu, a Auxiliary System Master, and Qing Feng, Control System Soul Master.
The team has a very deep roster.
"The match begins!" the referee announced.
Both reacted at the same time, and Jiang Nannan vanished in a streak of light.
Chi Hengyu, standing at the forefront of the Dou Ling Royal Academy, unleashed his massive Vajra Shield Martial Soul.
He slammed the Vajra Shield into the ground, unleashing a burst of intense light; he had actually used his Fifth Soul Skill.
Instantly, the light from the Vajra Shield began to spread outwards.
The enormous Vajra Shield expanded instantly, splitting into two, then four, and finally eight.
It transformed into a vast shield wall, completely blocking everything in front of it.
At this moment, Tang Niuniu and Qing Feng also began to move behind the shield wall.
One buffed all team members, while the other unleashed Soul Skill to create a massive earthen wall, further reinforcing their defenses.
This is where Xu Sanshi's role becomes apparent.
A wicked smile appeared on his face. With the assistance of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, he directly located the position of the Gu Zhujian.
Xu Sanshi's body disappeared, Gu Zhujian appeared before Jiang Yi and the others with a look of astonishment.
He reacted quickly and tried to take out his Defensive Soul Tool.
At this moment, dark golden Blue Silver Vines surged up wildly, binding his hands and feet, leaving him unable to move.
Dai Yueheng revealed a cruel smile and launched a direct attack on the Gu Zhujian.
A layer of golden light burst forth from the Gu Zhujian, forming a protective shield.
"Invincible Barrier! He's Soul King, he can only hold out for three seconds at most!" Huo Yuhao immediately reminded him.
Within the Dou Ling Team formation, Xu Sanshi directly activated the Xuanming Quake.
After Jiang Yi finished doing all this, a flash of blue light appeared in his eyes, and he directly constructed Life Domain.
At this moment, the entire Dou Ling Team was completely stunned by Xu Sanshi's sudden appearance.
Thick, blue chains instantly immobilized everyone from the Dou Ling Royal Academy.
At that moment, a flash of silver light appeared, Jiang Nannan had already appeared high in the sky.
At the same time, her Third Soul Ring lit up, and moonlight condensed in her palm, instantly transforming into a huge Full Moon.
Jiang Nannan slammed the Full Moon down on the Dou Ling Royal Team below.
Having just recovered from the Xuanming Quake, the Dou Ling Royal Team, seeing the attacks closing in on them, instinctively wanted to dodge.
But the chains had already bound them firmly; how could they possibly break free so easily?
At this point, they could only release their Martial Soul, hoping to reduce some of the damage with their Soul Power, since they no longer had time to unleash their Soul Skill.
The Moon Blade erupted among them, but Qian Yuan had already transformed into a giant Terrorclaw Bear, using his massive body to block most of the damage.
However, Tang Niuniu, who was a support Soul Master, was still injured by the Moon Blade, and her body was covered in wounds, with blood flowing out continuously.
Xiao Feng and Qing Feng were also seriously injured at this time, while only Chi Hengyu and Qian Yuan were in relatively good condition.
Gu Zhujian, who was being besieged by Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao, had already fallen to the ground and lost his ability to fight.
"Roar!" Qian Yuan roared to the sky.
Their original plans have been completely disrupted, and they can only rely on their own strength to fight.
He immediately turned his attention to Xu Sanshi, and swung his huge bear paw directly at Xu Sanshi.
The black light around Xu Sanshi flashed again, and he vanished completely, replaced by Ma Xiaotao, who had just finished dealing with Gu Zhujian.
"Whoosh!" Phoenix Flame suddenly burst forth, engulfing the entire arena.
Qian Yuan was engulfed in flames, his fur singed. The others, who were already burned, suffered even worse injuries in the face of these golden-red flames.
Dark golden vines surged forth, merging into the Phoenix Flame and becoming even more powerful.
Those from the Dou Ling Royal Academy who had lost their fighting ability were thrown directly outside the fighting arena.
Qian Yuan, on the other hand, was bound and wrapped in dark golden vines that were burning with flames.
"Roar!" Qian Yuan was in a sorry state, his body covered in burn marks and damage from the Moon Blade, and his Soul Power was still being absorbed.
He struggled frantically, trying to break free from the Blue Silver Vines, but his severe injuries and the omnipresent Phoenix Flame had weakened him to the extreme.
After letting out a roar of defiance, he finally collapsed to the ground.
The battle ended very easily; the Shrek Academy members didn't even need to use many powerful Soul Skill.
The people from the Dou Ling Royal Academy initially wanted to assemble powerful Soul Tool, but after their plan was thwarted, they failed to launch any effective attacks.
Most of the team members were defeated without even performing to their full potential.
The match was so fast that the audience didn't even have time to react.
The enthusiastic cheers only began after the referee announced Shrek Academy's victory.
After their match, the round of 16 continued steadily.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy easily defeated his opponent, and Jiang Yi immediately returned to the hotel after the match.
Now that he had the Soul Bone in hand, he naturally wanted to fuse with it as quickly as possible to enhance his strength.
As for individual battles, we can leave that to Ma Xiaotao and the others.
Inside the room, Jiang Yi took out the sealed box and opened it directly.
The Life's Fury Right Arm Bone appeared before his eyes, and an incomparably terrifying rage immediately rushed towards him. Jiang Yi's eyes lit up with blue light, blocking its attack.
"To be attacked like this for just one glance, how many creatures exist in an entire forest, and how much rage could they possibly unleash?"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but think the same thing.
As the Soul Bone was taken out of the box, the Life Force of the surrounding microorganisms was continuously devoured.
Jiang Yi, who held the Soul Bone, felt his Life Force being pulled away by a tremendous force.
However, given his control over Life Force, he cannot easily devour a single Soul Bone.
With a thought, he directly used his life force to envelop the Soul Bone, preventing it from devouring the surrounding Life Force.
"Next, we'll begin the fusion process."
After Jiang Yi was ready, he directly attached the Soul Bone to his right hand, and his Soul Power enveloped the Soul Bone.
After the Soul Bone established a connection with him, a terrifying red light suddenly burst forth from the red patterns that resembled plant veins.
Completely enveloping him, Jiang Yi felt a jolt of energy.
Chapter 149 Life Deflagration, Evolvable Soul Bone
A frenzied red light, carrying the rage of living beings, surged wildly into his Sea of Consciousness.
Suddenly, he felt himself being pulled into an incredibly dense forest.
Originally, this was a peaceful little forest, inhabited by a considerable number of hundred-year and Ten-Year Soul Beast, as well as many trees that had lived long enough to become Soul Beast themselves. Everything was so serene.
