Chapter 274: Million-Year Soul Rings Across the Body, the Second Item of the God Test
"Is that so? Do you want me to go get that thing with you?"
Xiao Xiao nodded obediently and then nestled into Lin Qinghan's arms.
As for the many rumors currently circulating across Douluo Continent—some even claiming Lin Qinghan harbored ambitions to take over the entire continent—Xiao Xiao didn't question him about any of it.
She believed she understood Lin Qinghan's personality well. It was simple to describe: a ruthless devil to his enemies, but incredibly kind to those around him.
So even if Lin Qinghan did something shocking, Xiao Xiao wouldn't be surprised.
"What I need now is the ring fusion technique. You know it, don't you?"
"Alright. Do you want me to tell you now?"
Xiao Xiao didn't learn this secret method in Shrek Academy, but she didn't hesitate to share it with Lin Qinghan. Right in front of him, she wrote down the method for ring fusion.
After receiving the technique, Lin Qinghan didn't leave right away. He spent the whole day in Xiao Xiao's dorm before using space power to leave.
·········
Because of his powerful soul, Lin Qinghan's comprehension ability was extremely high. It didn't take long before he completely mastered the ring fusion technique—and even improved it multiple times.
With his modifications, the technique could now be applied to soul rings over 10,000 years old. In fact, he developed a way to fully fuse soul rings.
However, this required extremely high spiritual strength. To fuse high-level soul rings, one needed tangible and qualitative spiritual power—something that even most Extreme Douluo lacked.
In the current Douluo Continent, this technique could only be used by soul masters with rare innate talent.
After solving the problem, Lin Qinghan entered deep seclusion once again.
Time flew by—over four months passed.
Thanks to the cabinet system led by Juzi in the Douluo Federation, there was no internal turmoil. Even the citizens had begun accepting their new national identity.
At this time, inside the Dimension Tower—
Lin Qinghan opened his eyes after more than half a month of meditation. A tricolor glow radiated from his body, and eight golden soul rings emerged around him.
Over the past four months, Lin Qinghan had used the modified ring fusion technique to fuse all the elemental martial soul's rings into the Ice Emperor's ring. He also infused it with a massive amount of his own spiritual power, turning it into a 1.7 million-year soul ring.
In fact, due to the spiritual consciousness involved, the Ice Emperor's ring had even developed divine ring-like properties. Unfortunately, Lin Qinghan didn't possess divine power, so he couldn't imprint a divine seal on it. Despite being comparable to a divine ring, it remained a powerful mortal-level ring.
Thanks to the ring fusion method, which preserved all original soul skills during fusion, Lin Qinghan lost no abilities in the process.
On the contrary, the Ice Emperor's strength soared—she now had combat ability close to a second-level god. She could also use all the soul skills that were merged into her ring.
Even the Skydream Ice Silkworm, who had awakened once during this period, was extremely envious.
Though the Skydream Ice Silkworm had become a salted fish after giving up on chasing the Ice Emperor, it was mainly because he had no offensive abilities. But now, if Lin Qinghan merged more soul rings into his, he could gain powerful combat skills too. How could he not be tempted?
Unfortunately, aside from the Skydream Ice Silkworm's ring, Lin Qinghan's Divine Martial Soul had only one other ring—a 100,000-year-old golden hat soul ring.
When Lin Qinghan performed the ring fusion, the Skydream Ice Silkworm hadn't yet awakened. Since the method could only be used once per ring, his soul ring now only provided two abilities: Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation.
Still, Lin Qinghan didn't treat him unfairly. During the fusion intervals, he continuously infused the Skydream Ice Silkworm with divine consciousness.
Since the Skydream was a spiritual-type soul beast, his soul body had now grown to the size of a second-level god.
However, aside from the basic Spiritual Shock, he still had no true offensive means.
Now with god-level power but nothing to do, the Skydream Ice Silkworm couldn't sleep. Every day, he just wiggled around in the spiritual world, watching Lin Qinghan cultivate.
"Almost done."
A golden light flashed in Lin Qinghan's eyes as he examined the soul skills granted by his rings.
The results were very satisfying. In addition to his original soul skills, he had acquired numerous amplification abilities. Since they were all million-year soul rings, using them at full power would boost Lin Qinghan's combat strength by at least ten times.
But the consumption of energy couldn't be ignored.
Mental energy wasn't a problem—his reserves were virtually limitless. But the elemental amplification required soul power, and even though he could push the ice and lightning elements to God King level, he could only sustain that state for a few minutes.
Still, Lin Qinghan was pleased. This entire project was a self-investment. That it yielded such gains was already a huge win.
With a thought, Lin Qinghan summoned the God Test panel, which he hadn't checked for six months.
It was time for the second trial of his God Test.
A glowing panel appeared in his vision. Lin Qinghan silently acknowledged it, and his consciousness was drawn into the second floor of the Dimension Tower.
> "Second Item of the God Test:
The inheritor must defeat ten enemies that are five levels above their current level in order to pass.
Rewards:
• 30% increase in spiritual power
• 10% divine affinity
• For each additional enemy of the same level defeated, gain +1% divine affinity and +1% spiritual power."
A deep voice echoed in Lin Qinghan's mind, and his expression turned serious.
> "The test has been activated. The trial will begin in ten seconds. Prepare yourself, inheritor."
Exactly ten seconds later, ten powerful auras—all of Super Douluo level—suddenly emerged before Lin Qinghan!
