Chapter 103: Battle of Heaven and Earth
A thousand-year-old Whale Glue, boosting endurance by two thousand years—exaggerated? Outrageous?
Exaggerated!
Outrageous!
So, after Twin Sun Qi enjoyed his nutritious meal, his six other entities agreed that Whale Glue wasn't to be consumed casually, but rather absorbed as a nutritious meal.
Ju Douluo's nutritious meal was primarily based on Whale Glue, but it wasn't Whale Glue itself. The gelatin only accounted for less than one-tenth of the medicinal power, with the remainder composed of various spiritual herbs. The balance of their medicinal properties allowed the Whale Glue to enhance physical fitness while also perfectly absorbing the other medicinal benefits.
The key to achieving this was once again the masterstroke of yin and yang. This harmonious yin and yang energy was the key to this complex blend of medicinal properties.
"I'm about five thousand years old here too. I can try to leapfrog another five hundred years," Twin Sun Qi offered his final assessment.
He didn't think this age limit was too low.
During the second awakening of the original martial spirit, the Spirit Ring could mutate, causing a qualitative change in the age of the Spirit Ring.
With a Spirit Ring foundation that already exceeded the optimal pairing, the situation was already perfect.
"Do you want to apply for a soul hunt?"
Ghost Douluo received Twin Sun Qi's application and responded immediately.
"Xie Yue and Yan have already broken through to level 40. You both have thousand-year Spirit Rings, so you can hunt souls together. Na'er has been stuck at level 39 for a long time. The nutritious meal must have stimulated her, and she should be very close to level 40 now."
Ghost Douluo recounted the situation of the other three to Twin Sun Qi.
Hu Liena would soon break through.
Twin Sun Qi frowned.
Should we wait for Hu Liena to break through?
After Ghost Douluo left, Twin Sun Qi waited patiently.
The next day, Ghost Douluo approached again.
"The Pope has granted permission for the four of you to go soul hunting together. Hu Liena hasn't broken through yet, but she's not far off. I'll try not to intervene during the soul hunting process. The four of you will divide the battles, while also putting as much pressure as possible on Na'er to see if she can seize the opportunity to break through."
Even for Twin Sun Qi, the required Spirit Rings are over five thousand years old. Soul hunting won't be fast, taking at least four months.
There's a high chance Hu Liena will break through along the way.
In the Star Dou Great Forest.
"What do you think of this Fighting Ape?"
Gu Rong pointed to a massive ape up ahead and asked Stone Monkey Sun Qi for his opinion.
Stone Monkey Sun Qi nodded.
"Yes, this Fighting Ape's cultivation should be over eight thousand years old."
Gu Rong turned back to confirm.
"It's indeed been more than eight thousand years. Can you bear it?"
"Don't worry, senior. When I was on my first Soul Ring, I also absorbed slightly more than I could bear. Xiao Sun can help me bear a lot of pressure."
"That's good."
Gu Rong said nothing and started to capture the Fighting Ape in front of him.
The Fighting Ape stared at Xiao Sun beside Stone Monkey Sun Qi, then looked at Gu Rong, struggling frantically.
Gu Rong now transformed into a bone dragon and pressed the Fighting Ape hard to the ground. The Soul Power burst out from the dragon claws, directly knocking the Fighting Ape unconscious.
"Kill him."
Stone Monkey Sun Qi sighed and drew his sword to cut it off.
This is the real soul hunting. Three hours later, Stone Monkey Sun Qi stood up, shook off the blood on his body, and under his feet, one yellow and two purple Soul Rings moved up and down rhythmically.
"How is the Soul Skill?" Gu Rong asked as usual.
"The third Soul Skill, Battle of Heaven and Earth, is full of fighting spirit, reduces the impact of physical pain, and increases all attributes by 100%."
There were no fancy features, just pure amplification.
"This value..."
Gu Rong reluctantly accepted it.
One hundred percent was a bit exaggerated, but it was actually average for Stone Monkey Sun Qi's Spirit Ring.
This was the third Spirit Ring, a Spirit Ring skill that had been around for over eight thousand years.
A value of two hundred percent was understandable.
"Senior, the improvement here is achieved through battle will, not an overloaded burst of Soul Power. This means my Soul Power consumption rate won't be accelerated by the burst," Stone Monkey Sun Qi said.
Gu Rong was surprised.
"In that case, this Soul Skill is quite good."
Filling oneself with battle will, is this the fusion of mental power into Soul Power?
The most significant feature of this amplification is that it can be stacked with other amplifications.
Later, any Spirit Skills that wield pure bursts of Soul Power will have their effects stacked.
"Let's go! We still need Rongrong's Spirit Ring."
Ning Rongrong's Spirit Rings were much easier to find.
According to the tradition of obtaining Spirit Rings for the direct descendants of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the third Spirit Ring is for amplifying Soul Power.
While other support-type Soul Masters might have to carefully select Spirit Beasts to acquire this skill, a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master only needs a rough guide.
Three days later, the group found a 4,800-year-old Star Tree in a slightly outlying area and used it as Ning Rongrong's third Spirit Ring.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is known as the continent's premier support-type martial spirit. This is fundamentally due to the fact that their Spirit Skills are amplified in seven fixed areas.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda has a default 10% amplification, and with each additional Spirit Ring, the amplification effect of all Spirit Skills increases by 10%.
This total possible percentage increase, seven types of amplification, solidifies the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's unrivaled status.
Even with a limit of seven Spirit Rings, a seven-ring Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Sage could still multiply all of their amplifications by 80%.
This was an incredibly impressive increase for any Soul Master.
"Now it's confirmed that the improvement a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master receives from absorbing Spirit Rings above their level is reduced Soul Power consumption," Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise. "My second-ring Soul Master absorbed a millennium Spirit Ring above their level, and while the amplification rate for my second Spirit Skill was the same, the amplification cost was a full half of that of other disciples in the sect. My third Spirit Ring will cost even less this time, only 30% of the cost of an average Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master's third Spirit Skill."
The average Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master she was referring to was also a millennium Spirit Ring, not a century-old third Spirit Skill.
A 30% cost means she can simultaneously amplify the Soul Power of three people with her normal amplification cost.
"Absorbing Spirit Rings above their level is truly significant to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Sect," Gu Rong said.
If Ning Fengzhi had absorbed Spirit Rings from a higher level, he could simultaneously amplify Gu Rong and Chen Xin's seven Spirit Skills, making the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect even more formidable.
A month later.
In Tiandou City, Stone Monkey Sun Qi separated from Gu Rong and the others and headed straight for the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in Sunset Forest.
Returning to the Yin-Yang Eye, he was surprised to see Dugu Yan.
"Xiao Qi?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise. "So you've been training here all this time?"
Stone Monkey Sun Qi hadn't been back to Tiandou Imperial Academy for a long time. She had assumed he was training within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Sister Yan, what are you doing?"
Stone Monkey Sun Qi asked, his gaze fixed on the nutritious meal in front of Dugu Yan.
