Douluo Jueshi: I can only explode the ring, all I can do is operate

Holding a two-meter-long ant in his hand, Zhang Can asked Ning Wuque in front of him.

Looking at the dark gold soldier ant in Zhang Can's hand, Ning Wuque took a deep breath and nodded heavily:

"Okay grandpa!"

"Well, let's get started. I'll be watching over you. Just relax and absorb it."

After saying that, Zhang Can threw the dark gold soldier ant to Ning Wuque's feet. There was a dagger stuck in its head. He only needed to stab it down hard to kill it!

At the same time, Zhang Can subconsciously touched the storage soul guide on his waist. Just in case, he brought a lot of healing medicines.

In front of him, Ning Wuque squatted down, gripped the dagger tightly, and stabbed it hard into the head of the Dark Gold Soldier Ant!

Soon, a circle of purple soul ring appeared on its body.

Ning Wuque's heartbeat quickened slightly as he saw the brilliant purple reflected in his pupils. He then sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to receive and absorb the soul ring.

"Defy the will of heaven... and change your fate!"

His heart trembled, and he suddenly felt endless pressure rushing through his body, rushing through his meridians and blood vessels. At the same time, his heart felt as if it was being held by someone's hand, and he felt extremely suffocated.

The first wave of the Millennium Spirit Ring's impact was so sudden that Ning Wuque almost lost control! His face instantly turned pale as if he had lost too much blood, and his breathing became more outgoing than incoming.

But, he can bear it! He can still bear it!

His well-tempered body came into play at this moment. The sweat and hard work of the past seemed to be responding to him, "This will definitely work." It helped his body begin to adapt to the energy impact and began to stabilize at a slow pace.

"Coffee~"

A loud roar sounded from the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

Ning Wuque saw that his martial spirit, the Black Gold Ant, was undergoing a transformation, experiencing this difficult time together with its master!

Its mouthparts are like vices, its six legs are like sharp blades, its torso is like a wolf spider, and its aura is like an angry bear!

Evolution! The spirit is evolving!

Just as Ning Wuque expected, the Millennium Dark Gold Soldier Ant Soul Ring allowed his martial soul to directly evolve to a higher level!

.........

Time passed bit by bit.

Zhang Can guarded Ning Wuque for a full day, two nights, and an entire afternoon. It was not until dawn on the third day that Ning Wuque finally came out of the soul ring absorption state.

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

Ning Wuque's martial spirit possessed him, his hands changed into ant claws, tentacles grew on his head, and his body shape also changed to a certain extent.

A circle of purple soul ring rose from under his feet, so dazzling and bright as the rising sun!

"If Heaven has not granted me the mandate to be a prince, I will enter the city and take it myself!

The earth has peaks and the sea has abysses. How difficult is it to defy fate and change your destiny?"

"I can do anything now!!!"

I forgot the timer, luckily I took a look, huh~

Chapter 12: Soul bones will only defile my tempered body!

"I can do anything now!"

Ning Wuque raised his hands high and roared, his face showing uncontrollable excitement, excitement and joy!

Beside him, Zhang Can, who had been guarding Ning Wuque for a long time, also smiled. He happily touched Ning Wuque's head with his hand, and was happy for his grandson from the bottom of his heart.

Ning Wuque had suffered for more than two years for this day. He felt distressed by his usual training methods and daily routine that were almost self-harming. Every time he heard the sound of him falling to the ground because his body reached its limit, his heart would tremble.

How much he wished Ning Wuque didn't have such big ambitions and just stayed by his side to take care of him in his old age.

In this huge sect, as long as Ning Wuque can endure the loneliness, Zhang will definitely ensure that he will enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of his life.

But Ning Wuque did not choose so. He turned his obsession with strength into endless motivation and turned his dream of climbing to the top into reality.

Now, he has proven that a person's innate soul power and martial spirit mean nothing at all. Outstanding talent and rock-hard perseverance can also lead him to overcome countless difficulties and obstacles!

"Wait a minute, Wuque, look at this!"

Suddenly, after relaxing, Zhang Can noticed a different light in his perspective.

He was so focused that he was exhausted both physically and mentally in order to ensure Ning Wuque's absolute safety. He also had to be ready to interrupt and treat Ning Wuque who might not be able to absorb the damaged soul, so he didn't notice the unusual color on the thousand-year-old dark gold soldier ant at all.

"What's wrong, Grandpa?"

Ning Wuque was puzzled, and then he saw Zhang Can flash to the ant corpse beside him, reach out and break its shell, and take out a piece of dark gold-colored bones.

Soul bone!

Ning Wuque widened his eyes. He felt that he was extremely lucky today, as if God was pitying his talent and praising his efforts.

A thousand-year soul bone, a rare thing that is even rarer than a ten-thousand-year soul bone. Although it is a piece of junk that is only better than a hundred-year soul bone among soul bones, it is still a treasure of the Blood River!

A thing worth hundreds of thousands or even millions! Tens or even millions of gold soul coins!!!

"Soul bone!"

"It's a right arm bone, perfect. Quickly absorb it! This soul bone will definitely help you!"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Can handed the soul bone directly to Ning Wuque, his kind old face filled with joy.

Although he didn't have any soul bone at this age, he still gave it to his grandson Ning Wuque without hesitation.

Zhang Can clearly knew that he didn't have many years left to live. Maybe thirty years? Or even less.

Instead of wasting it on myself, it would be better to let Ning Wuque absorb it directly and help him realize his dream of becoming a strong man!

But to Zhang Can's great surprise, Ning Wuque shook his head and said firmly:

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I can't absorb this soul bone. You should know that I'm preparing to formally practice the Nine-Layered Hell Gate, right?"

"I know, but what does that have to do with this?"

Zhang Can was extremely confused. He knew that Ning Wuque had trained his body in this way in order to be able to withstand the impact of the exploding ring in order to practice his own creation, "Nine-Layered Hell Gate".

But he had no idea what this had to do with whether or not to absorb the soul bone. However, he did not take a tough attitude. Instead, he first put the soul bone into the storage soul guide device just in case, and then signaled Ning Wuque to continue with his eyes.

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Ning Wuque sat down cross-legged on the spot, and then took out the reason from the storage soul guide.

It was a book. He handed it to Zhang Can and said:

"Grandpa, please take a look at this first and then I'll tell you. It's not that I don't want to absorb the soul bone, but I can't!"

"cannot?"

Now Zhang Can was even more confused. He also sat cross-legged in front of Ning Wuque, took the book and started to read it.

There is no table of contents. Starting from the first page are all of Ning Wuque's notes from the time he began researching "Nine-Layered Hell Gate" to the present.

On a page of paper, various theories and hypotheses were written, interspersed with some diagrams of the human body's meridians, as well as some diagrams of the human body's meridians that had changed after various beast spirit masters possessed a body.

Until Zhang Can saw the key:

[Note 32: The impact of a beast spirit soul master's spirit on the human body after the spirit possesses the soul.

According to relevant records and diagrams, the more powerful the beast spirit is, the more changes it will cause to the human body after possessing it. Similarly, the higher the level of the soul master, the deeper the degree of the spirit possession, making the soul master's body closer to the beastman state.

For example, a powerful dragon martial soul master, after reaching the seventh ring, can already be called a "dragon man". Forty percent of the meridians, blood vessels, internal organs and other internal organs in the body are in a very different position from those of a normal person!

Even spirit masters with dragon spirits like fire dragons and ice dragons will generate new organs in their bodies after possessing a spirit at around the seventh ring!

[Note 33: The impact of the soul power shock on the human meridians after the ring explodes.

According to the theory [Note 13], the basic core theory of "Nine-Layered Hell Gate" is to rely on the energy provided by the explosive ring to supply it all to the soul master himself, allowing the soul master's body to bear the part of the energy that the martial soul cannot bear.

This requires the soul master himself to adapt to the flow of this energy, control it to form a reflux-like structure in his body, and absorb and utilize this violent energy to the greatest extent!

This method can also withstand the energy impact caused by the ring explosion to the maximum extent, and create a circuit inside itself specifically for it to flow!

Therefore, perhaps any changes to the body itself will make the soul skill "Nine-Layered Gate of Hell" fail, and may even cause the phenomenon of internal energy flow, conflict and explosion!

Note: This type of situation will only occur when the energy level completely exceeds its original upper limit, that is, when any soul master explodes the fourth soul ring [Note 26]!

【Note 34: The Concept of the Unity of Human Soul

In order to deal with the situations mentioned in [Note 33] and [Note 32], it is necessary to ensure that the beast martial spirit is completely detached from the body surface after possessing the body, that is, in a completely human state!

Therefore, the concept of the unity of man and soul was proposed, allowing the beast martial spirit to deeply possess the body, no longer affecting the soul master himself, while retaining the original blessing of about 50% to 70%.

………]

"Genius! Wuque, I...I almost hurt you!"

After seeing all this, Zhang Can understood why the other party couldn't absorb the soul bone without even Ning Wuque's explanation.

Although Ning Wuque's original manuscript did not mention any impact of soul bones, could he gamble?

Can’t gamble! Can’t afford to gamble!

It's easy for a soul master to absorb soul bones, but the price of taking them out is absolutely terrible! They may even lose a part of their body permanently!

Such a blow would undoubtedly be devastating for a pure physical cultivator like Ning Wuque! Everything he had worked so hard to build up would be wiped out!

"It's okay, Grandpa. You're doing this for my own good, right?"

Shaking his head, Ning Wuque didn't care about it at all, because Zhang Can's starting point was really to make him better!

I used the comics to express the beast spirit possession. If I remember correctly, the anime seemed to have changed it to a phantom in order to save money on modeling?

Chapter 13: First Soul Skill: Draw Blood to Resurrect

Ning Wuque has conducted an extremely thorough study of the soul skill "Nine-Layered Gate of Hell", as it concerns his future!

Therefore, from the very beginning, he used continuous reasoning to identify any possible accidents and defects!

From the fifteen days at the beginning of the research to the supplementary research during the relaxing days every month, he made hundreds of notes on the manuscript!

Now the latest record point has come to [Record 136].

But this was written two months ago. After that, he read it again and again and pondered it for a long time, but there was no room for improvement.

Perhaps we need to wait until he successfully explodes the ring and opens the "first level" before we can deduce new concerns.

"Fortunately, you're smart enough, Wuque. Take this soul bone. When you return to the sect, go to the steward of the sect's treasury and exchange it for other treasures that may be useful to you!"

Although Ning Wuque was unable to absorb the soul bone, Zhang Can still took out the soul bone and stuffed it into Ning Wuque's arms together with the closed manuscript.

It's okay if you don't need a soul bone, you can trade it for something you do need! You can't just leave it there and collect dust, right?

What a waste!

Zhang Can knew Ning Wuque's current consumption. Just the nutrition needed to maintain his exercise every day cost two gold soul coins.

Even though there were discounts on buying nutritious meals within the sect, only 1 sect contribution a day was enough, but that was only in the past.

Now that Ning Wuque has absorbed his first soul ring and his martial soul has evolved, his physical fitness is completely different from before, having improved by at least 30%, which is a significant change.

This number will only get bigger in the future!

So, money is never enough!

"Well, thank you grandpa!"

Ning Wuque did not act pretentiously, but directly put the soul bone and his manuscript that Zhang Can handed over again into his storage soul guide.

He had made up his mind long ago after Zhang Can built a set of forced soul guide training equipment for him. He would take care of Zhang Can in his old age, see him to his death, and hold memorial services for him. He already regarded Zhang Can as his own grandfather.

"Alright, alright, Lai Wuque, quickly demonstrate your first soul skill to Grandpa. It's the first ring of a thousand years. I've never seen anything as amazing as this in my life. Throughout history, only the third leader of the Body Sect has achieved this!"

Zhang Can said this, his eyes flashing with anticipation, but he didn't know what this first ring of the millennium would be like.

I think it should be pretty good. After all, this soul ring comes from the Dark Gold Soldier Ant, a soul beast that has the same origin as Ning Wuque's martial soul.

Ning Wuque did not hesitate to this. He immediately stood up and his martial spirit possessed him. The purple spirit ring lit up, and some golden lines appeared on his body. At the same time, he began to explain to Zhang Can:

"This is my first soul skill, [Blood Draw and Revitalize], which is similar to the fighting and carrying postures of the Black Gold Ants and Dark Gold Soldier Ants. By strongly activating the blood in my body, I gain greater strength and physical fitness."

Ning Wuque was undoubtedly extremely satisfied with this soul skill!

He was even more satisfied than the percentage-added soul skills! Because this soul skill directly affected him, it meant that he only needed to use the soul skill once and could maintain it until the end of the battle by continuously outputting soul power!

What is this concept?
