Chapter 79: Increasing the Absorption Time of Soul Rings? The Fourth Ring: Ten Thousand Years?
Dugu Bo broke the silence first, looking at Ye Liuyun whose aura was stable at level forty, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes:
"Now that things are settled, I won't waste any more words. You're already level 40, when do you plan to hunt for spirit rings? Although Sunset Forest doesn't have as many types of spirit beasts as Star Dou Forest, I can catch any that are under 10,000 years old for you."
He paused, then lowered his voice, his tone becoming somewhat subtle:
"Or... do you need to 'absorb' a spirit ring?"
Even Dugu Bo, who knew Ye Liuyun's true identity, was unsure whether a soul beast should absorb a soul ring upon transforming into human form.
Normally, the essence stored when a soul beast transforms into human form can be directly transformed into a soul ring, without the need to hunt soul beasts.
That's exactly what Xiao Wu did.
However, Ye Liuyun did not have any special feelings for soul beasts.
The first three spirit rings were of low age, so it didn't matter. Starting with the fourth spirit ring, he planned to obtain them by hunting spirit beasts.
There's no need to waste the essence of the soul beast, which is meant to be a trump card.
Looking at the churning waters of the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes, he said slowly:
No rush.
"The generation and absorption of spirit rings are not the same as you imagine. As long as your physical strength is strong enough, the absorption period of a spirit ring is not fixed."
"I plan to directly absorb a ten-thousand-year-level spirit ring for my fourth spirit ring. Therefore, I need to hone my physique here during this period."
"Ten thousand years?!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, looking at Ye Liuyun as if he were a madman:
"The limit for the fourth spirit ring is usually around five thousand years. You actually want to exceed that level by more than double? That will cause you to explode and die!"
Dugu Bo's face also darkened:
"Kid, even though you have a strong foundation, the soul shock brought by a ten-thousand-year soul ring is no joke. Are you sure you want to play this big?"
Ye Liuyun ignored their questions, coldly looked at Dugu Bo, and directly asked for the items:
Do you have whale glue? A lot, I need it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the herb garden fell into an eerie silence for a second.
Dugu Bo, the seasoned poison master who had seen it all, had an extremely interesting expression on his face.
He was stunned at first, then a deep contempt appeared in his eyes, and a mocking smile of worldly wisdom even appeared on his lips.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, as the pride of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, had naturally heard of this "special tonic" that was widely circulated in noble circles.
Her fair face flushed instantly, and she subconsciously took half a step back, looking at Ye Liuyun as if he were a hopelessly lecherous man.
"You..."
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, her tone full of disdain:
"I misjudged you! You're so young, not even level 40 yet, and you already... need to use that kind of filthy stuff? Just how weak are you?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and lectured him in the manner of an elder:
"Young man, although I've agreed to help you, you must maintain your integrity. If you're truly interested, once Yan Yan is cured, I'll find you ten or eight in Heaven Dou City..."
"Shut up."
Ye Liuyun's originally cold and stern face was now as black as the bottom of a pot.
He looked at the grandfather and granddaughter, whose thought processes seemed completely off, his forehead veins throbbing, and said, word by word:
"What nonsense are you thinking? When whale glue is heated to extremely high temperatures, it can soften meridians and strengthen bones and muscles."
He took a deep breath, his tone icy and chilling:
"That's a treasure for enhancing physical strength and absorbing spirit rings beyond one's age limit, not the kind of trashy use you're thinking of!"
"What?"
Dugu Bo's expression froze instantly, and even his hand trembled slightly.
"Strengthen physique? Surpass age limits?"
Ignoring his embarrassment, he strode up to Ye Liuyun, his voice shrill with excitement:
"You mean... that kind of trash that's only sold as an aphrodisiac by nobles can allow a Soul Master to break through the limits of their Soul Rings? How is that possible! No one in the Soul Master world has ever discovered this in ten thousand years!"
Dugu Yan's mouth dropped open, and she stood there dumbfounded.
If what Ye Liuyun said is true, then this is not only a folk remedy, but also a nuclear bomb that is enough to overturn the entire Soul Master world's understanding!
Believe it or not, it's up to you.
Ye Liuyun sat back down on the bluestone, his expression returning to its usual aloofness.
"You just need to collect some high-quality whale glue for me, and this message will be your reward or compensation for the delayed treatment."
Dugu Bo took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.
Looking at Ye Liuyun's completely confident demeanor, he suddenly realized that the knowledge this kid possessed was probably even more terrifying than his own, a titled Douluo.
Is this the true potential of a transformed soul beast?
Living a long life certainly brings a lot of knowledge.
"Yes! I have plenty of connections in Heaven Dou City. How much do you need? I'll get it for you!"
Dugu Bo's eyes burned with passion.
If this method really works, then not only Ye Liuyun, but also Dugu Yan's strength will be able to reach a higher level.
Blue Tyrant Academy, early morning.
Sunlight filtered through the lush foliage, dappling the playground.
Several Shrek Academy students gradually arrived.
Tang San, as the current captain, stood at the very front of the team, his back straight and his eyes calm.
The spot that originally belonged to Ye Liuyun was now empty.
With his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang's face, as stiff as granite, was brewing a storm.
Liu Erlong sat on the swing beside him, her gaze never leaving Yu Xiaogang's back, her eyes filled with infatuation and tenderness.
Flander squatted on the stone steps with his arms crossed, looked at Yu Xiaogang's appearance, sighed softly, but said nothing.
"Is everyone here?"
Yu Xiaogang spoke coldly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority.
Tang San stepped forward and bowed slightly:
"Teacher, everyone has arrived except for Ye Liuyun."
"Ye Liuyun?"
Yu Xiaogang sneered, a deep disappointment and sharpness flashing in his eyes.
"Does he still see me as his teacher? Does he still care about the Shrek Academy team?"
He abruptly turned around and began a righteous and awe-inspiring lecture to the students before him:
"I have always emphasized that a Soul Master's power comes from the team. There are no perfect individuals, only perfect teams! Ye Liuyun's talent is indeed excellent, but he is too arrogant. This arrogance is destroying him, and it is also destroying your cooperation!"
Yu Xiaogang became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had grasped Ye Liuyun's Achilles' heel.
"As the captain, Tang San leads you in training every day before dawn. But what about Ye Liuyun? He's disorganized and undisciplined. He's still lazing around in the dorm, it's ridiculous! No matter how strong he is, he's just a soulless fighting machine and won't go far!"
Ma Hongjun, standing to the side, pursed his lips and muttered to Oscar beside him:
"The master is right. That guy always acts cool and doesn't even bother to say a word to us. He has absolutely no team spirit."
Oscar shrugged helplessly and replied in a low voice:
"Who can blame them for being so strong? But strong as they are, standing up the whole team so early in the morning is really going too far. It must be tough being the captain, Xiao San, we have to cover for him."
Tang San did not like Ye Liuyun, but he had known him for many years and had never seen him arrive late before, so he helped explain.
"Perhaps he's reached a critical juncture in his cultivation!"
After all, the Oscars have also experienced this situation before.
"Excuses!"
Yu Xiaogang waved his sleeve, interrupting Tang San.
"If cultivation is done without regard to the occasion or the group, that's called going into demonic possession! I think he's just relying on his talent and doesn't respect the academy's rules. Erlong, Flander, we need to have a serious talk about Ye Liuyun's punishment later."
Amidst the outcry against Ye Liuyun, Xiao Wu remained unusually quiet.
With her head slightly lowered, she nervously fiddled with the ends of her hair.
Ye Liuyun had secretly told her about his temporary departure when they were at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy yesterday, but she didn't know how long he would be gone.
It feels like a friend who came out to work with me suddenly left.
This made her feel a little panicked, fearing that the other person might never return.
Xiao Wu hadn't felt it before, but now that he was gone, she suddenly felt a deep longing for Ye Liuyun
