Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

This did not last long. A moment later, Jiang Nannan's body trembled.

The Yellow Soul Ring above her head, which had long since turned insubstantial, vanished completely.

Jiang Nannan opened her eyes, a flash of silver light in them.

"Brother Jiang Yi, I've finished absorbing it!" Jiang Nannan jumped up excitedly and threw herself into Jiang Yi's arms.

As Jiang Nannan hugged him, Jiang Yi felt a strange sensation. He realized his head was resting against her neck.

"She grew taller after absorbing the Soul Ring," Jiang Yi immediately realized.

The two had originally been about the same height. Because of the difference in their Soul Power, he had been a little shorter than Jiang Nannan, but now he was nearly half a head shorter.

A Soul Ring brought changes to a Soul Master in every respect. Both height and bodily functions improved significantly.

"Alas, in my situation, who knows how long it'll be before I can obtain my First Soul Ring," Jiang Yi could not help lamenting.

"So, what Soul Skill did you get after absorbing the Soul Ring?"

Jiang Nannan held Jiang Yi for a while before letting him go, and he immediately asked the question.

So many strange phenomena had appeared around her during the absorption that the Soul Skill she had obtained was bound to be extraordinary.

A mysterious smile appeared on Jiang Nannan's face, and a yellow Soul Ring rose behind her.

The Soul Ring flashed, and Jiang Nannan's figure vanished from beneath the moonlight in an instant.

A streak of silver light followed an eerie, elusive path and reached Jiang Yi's back in an instant, before he could even react.

"Hehe, what do you think?" Jiang Nannan patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder.

"This..." Feeling the warm palm on his shoulder, Jiang Yi was momentarily dazed.

"Did you get a teleportation skill?"

Li Lingyu, standing nearby, also looked surprised. There was no denying how powerful this skill was.

Although it left a visible trace when activated, its trajectory was difficult to predict.

She could draw an enemy's attention, then teleport behind them to deliver a fatal blow.

The changing expressions on Jiang Yi and Li Lingyu's faces made Jiang Nannan lift her head proudly.

She then explained her Soul Skill to them. The skill she had just used was called Moon's Instant.

After activating it, she could turn into a streak of silver light and teleport, confusing her enemies with an unpredictable trajectory.

During the process, her presence became extremely faint, allowing her to evade an enemy's mental lock.

She could teleport within a radius of about fifty meters, and with her current Soul Power, she could teleport twice in a short period.

Another point worth mentioning was that under moonlight, the Soul Power she consumed when using the skill dropped considerably.

This Soul Skill was undoubtedly extremely powerful. Two teleports greatly increased Jiang Nannan's mobility.

Teleporting behind an enemy saved an agility-type Soul Master the trouble of closing in on them, and it was also a powerful means of self-preservation.

After learning about Jiang Nannan's Soul Skill, the three of them immediately pitched their tents there.

It was already late, and Jiang Nannan had exhausted herself absorbing the Soul Ring, so it was better to rest up before returning to Spirit Mountain City.

In the dim forest, a pheasant covered in black feathers, with colorful tail feathers on its rear, was eating Blue Silver Grass with its head down.

Suddenly, the Blue Silver Grass the pheasant was eating sprang up and wrapped around its feet.

"Cluck, cluck!" The pheasant shrieked in terror.

It pecked fiercely at the Blue Silver Grass with its sharp beak, trying to break free.

Just as it was about to peck the Blue Silver Grass, the grass suddenly released a burst of blue light.

The fragile Blue Silver Grass became incredibly tough and immensely strong. It yanked hard, and the pheasant immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Falling onto the ground covered in Blue Silver Grass had sealed the pheasant's fate.

Under the Grass-Headed Emperor's control, all the Blue Silver Grass swarmed forward, completely wrapping and binding the pheasant's body.

Unable to breathe, the pheasant wrapped in Blue Silver Grass soon died on the spot.

Jiang Yi stepped out of the darkness and picked up the dead pheasant.

"Grass Trip really is an extraordinary skill."

Now that he had obtained the skill, he naturally wanted to try it out whenever he had the chance.

He took the pheasant to the campfire in front of the tents and began roasting it, drawing on his cooking experience from his previous life.

As time passed, the aroma of roast chicken soon wafted out.

"It smells so good." Jiang Nannan gazed at the golden-brown roast chicken with shining eyes, looking ready to drool.

"Hehe, it's ready to eat." Jiang Yi tore off a drumstick and handed it to Jiang Nannan.

He then gave Li Lingyu a portion as well. After eating the roast chicken, Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan went into the tent to rest.

Li Lingyu kept watch outside. The night passed without incident, and early the next morning, they boarded the carriage and headed for Spirit Mountain City.

Two days later, the three returned to Spirit Mountain City and resumed their usual cultivation.

Not long after their return, She Fei and Lin Ye also returned to Spirit Mountain City.

Both looked rather pale, their lips almost bloodless. They seemed to have suffered significant injuries.

They had rushed to the front lines because another conflict had broken out between Dou Ling and the Heavenly Soul Empire.

As border guards, they naturally had to go and provide support at once.

Alas, without an external threat, internal conflicts become more frequent, She Fei lamented to himself.

In his view, Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling had originally been one, so why should they turn their blades on their own kin?

But he did not dare say such a thing aloud, and even if he did, it would be useless.

Back then, even when the Sun Moon Empire had nearly unified the Douluo Continent, it had not brought about a merger between Dou Ling and the Heavenly Soul Empire. How could he possibly influence it?

After returning to the barracks, She Fei did not rush to handle military affairs. Instead, he summoned one of his subordinates.

"How did Jiang Nannan's cultivation progress while I was away? She should have broken through to rank ten by now, right?"

He had originally planned to send someone to help Jiang Nannan hunt for a Soul Ring once she reached rank ten, but the sudden trouble at the border had caught him off guard.

"That's right, Jiang Nannan has reached rank ten, but she seems to have gone with someone else to hunt for a Soul Ring."

"She's probably obtained her First Soul Ring by now," the subordinate said.

Chapter 20: She Fei's shock, breaking through to rank one

Hearing his subordinate's words, She Fei immediately frowned.

According to his earlier investigation, Jiang Nannan and the others had a small circle of acquaintances, none of whom were Soul Masters.

Even if Jiang Nannan had paid to hire a Soul Master to help him hunt for a Soul Ring, she could not have afforded it.

After all, he was funding most of their expenses these days.

"Could she have been tricked into hunting a Ten-Year Soul Beast in the Soul Beast Forest?"

The possibility immediately filled She Fei with anger.

After all, he still intended to nurture Jiang Nannan, so that she would become a Titled Douluo one day and repay him for helping her.

If she had absorbed a Ten-Year Soul Ring as her First Soul Ring, everything was ruined.

He also felt some regret. If he had been here at the time, this would never have happened.

"Why didn't you stop her?" She Fei immediately demanded of his subordinate.

"Please forgive me, sir. Jiang Nannan and the others left too quickly. Even we only learned she had gone after discovering she was no longer at the academy."

The subordinate explained himself fearfully.

She Fei's face darkened as he listened to the explanation, but there was no point in saying anything more now. He could only pray that Jiang Nannan had not absorbed a Ten-Year Soul Ring, as he feared.

"I have to go see for myself." She Fei made a snap decision, leaving the barracks at once and heading for Lingshan Junior Academy.

After leaving the barracks, She Fei turned into an afterimage. About a minute later, he reached the gates of Lingshan Junior Academy.

"Let me in." She Fei took out a token and spoke to the two guards at the gate.

When the guards saw the token, they did not dare delay. They opened the gates immediately and let She Fei in.

When She Fei arrived at Lingshan Junior Academy, on the mountain behind the academy...

Jiang Yi was sitting cross-legged among a patch of Blue Silver Grass with his eyes closed, cultivating through photosynthesis.

Not far away, Li Lingyu was teaching Jiang Nannan about selecting Soul Rings to add.

The strange phenomena that had appeared when Jiang Nannan absorbed the Silver Moon Fox's Soul Ring had also sparked his interest in her.

He could test his theory on Jiang Nannan first.

In any case, absorbing a Soul Ring from the same source as one's Martial Soul was certainly beneficial and harmless to a Soul Master.

As for the subsequent extreme training, if Jiang Nannan could not endure it, he naturally would not force her.

Li Lingyu had been concentrating on his lesson when he seemed to sense something and looked up.

"Are you Teacher Li Lingyu?" She Fei asked somewhat cautiously from in front of him.

As soon as he arrived at Lingshan Junior Academy, he had asked someone where Jiang Nannan was.

He learned that a teacher had taken her to cultivate on the mountain behind the academy, so he had hurried over at once.

This teacher is no ordinary person. How could Lingshan Junior Academy have a teacher like him? She Fei wondered inwardly.

At first glance, he had felt a sense of pressure from Li Lingyu. This man was definitely stronger than him.

"Uncle She!" Jiang Nannan exclaimed in surprise when she saw who had come.

"Are you She Fei?" Li Lingyu asked calmly.

"That's right. May I ask where you're from? With such strength, why are you teaching at a small place like Lingshan Junior Academy?"

"I'm here to teach my disciple, of course," Li Lingyu answered calmly.

"Disciple?" She Fei looked at Jiang Nannan in surprise.

"Have you taken Nannan as your disciple?"

"No." Li Lingyu shook his head.

The denial left She Fei at a loss. At Lingshan Junior Academy, apart from Jiang Nannan, a genius with rank eight Innate Soul Power...

Who else could catch Li Lingyu's eye?

"Uncle She, you're back?" Just then, Jiang Yi, who had been cultivating among the Blue Silver Grass, heard the commotion and came over.

"He is my disciple." Li Lingyu pointed at the newly arrived Jiang Yi.

"What?" She Fei could not help exclaiming in shock.

Li Lingyu's tone was calm and firm, and he did not seem to be pretending at all. But how could She Fei believe it?

Jiang Yi's Innate Soul Power was only rank 0.1. He could be said to have broken the record for the lowest Innate Soul Power of any Soul Master on the Douluo Continent.

Yet a Soul Master like him had caught the eye of a powerful expert like Li Lingyu.

Seeing She Fei's shocked expression, Li Lingyu could not be bothered to explain. How could She Fei possibly know how outstanding Jiang Yi's talent was?

If their research succeeded, Beast Martial Soul Masters across the entire Douluo Continent would treat them as honored guests.

"Officer She Fei, if there's nothing else, please leave. Don't hold up my teaching." Li Lingyu told him to leave.

Li Lingyu's blunt words did not make She Fei leave immediately.

She Fei looked at Jiang Nannan and forced a smile. "Nannan, how many years old is your First Soul Ring?"

"My First Soul Ring is three hundred and ninety years old." To prove it, Jiang Nannan used Martial Soul Possession and released her Soul Ring as she spoke.

"Good." A smile appeared on She Fei's face when he saw the Yellow Soul Ring.

Three hundred and ninety years was already close to the limit for a First Soul Ring.

Absorbing a First Soul Ring like that would undoubtedly be of enormous help to Jiang Nannan's future development.
