More than half a month later, Wang Teng saw his parents return and quickly went up to them to ask,
"Mother, did you obtain your eighth spirit ring?"
"I was lucky. In the Star Dou Great Forest, I happened to encounter a light-attribute spirit beast that was over 80,000 years old."
Wang Teng nodded. Although a spirit master's eighth spirit ring, according to the optimal spirit ring combination, can absorb any spirit beast under 100,000 years old,
most spirit masters' eighth spirit rings are less than 80,000 or 90,000 years old, let alone one that matches their own attribute. Don't be fooled by the fact that it was an 80,000-year-old spirit beast. If it weren't for his mother's assistance, Wang Teng estimated that his father would definitely not be a match for an 80,000-year-old spirit beast in a one-on-one fight.
In terms of actual combat power, an 80,000-year-old spirit beast, even without a Title Douluo, would probably be a match for a spirit beast of that age in a one-on-one fight on the Douluo Continent.
Of course, most spirit masters obtain spirit rings in groups and rarely engage in one-on-one battles. Moreover, an eighth spirit ring with an age of 80,000 years is considered high-standard, after all, Dugu Bo's ninth spirit ring only had an age of over 70,000 years!
Dugu Bo, like the Serpent Spear Douluo among the "Two Generals" beside Qian Renxue, is an anomaly among Title Douluos.
One has a ninth spirit ring with an age of 70,000 years, and the other has a purple fifth spirit ring, seriously lowering the lower limit of the age of spirit rings for Title Douluos in the Douluo Continent.
Wang Teng felt that he had an inescapable responsibility for this. In the future, he would be needed to raise the average level of the age of spirit rings for Title Douluos in the Douluo Continent.
...
Time flies, and nearly nine months have passed since Wang Teng last collected 100,000 Lord Origin.
Dungeon - Deep in the Dark Forest.
The situation in the dungeon is still the same, but after Wang Teng killed the Lord - Dark Curse Cat Demon, the warm current of 'experience' he gained directly raised his spirit power level to level 20.
"Finally leveled up!"
Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief. He had felt he was close to breaking through in the past few days, but unexpectedly, he leveled up directly thanks to the 'experience' gained from the dungeon.
Moreover, his Lord's Origin had also accumulated to 100,000 in the past two days, allowing him to buy Magic Boxes from the shop again.
He had only slightly postponed opening the Magic Boxes because he knew he was about to break through. After leaving the dungeon, the much-anticipated box-opening activity was about to begin.
He opened the system shop and bought Magic Boxes. The action was swift and decisive. Soon, after bathing and changing, Wang Teng went to the small courtyard outside his room and set up a set of feudal superstitious props.
Following a specially designed procedure, he opened the precious Magic Boxes.
Prompt: Obtained—The Arbiter.
Prompt: Obtained—Inheritance: Sacred Aurora Elf Jewelry Set.
Prompt: Obtained—Inheritance: Sacred Earth Goddess Crimson Iron Plate Armor Set.
Three items again, but this time they all seem to be equipment? And they appear to be high-level items. Wang Teng thought silently, stroking his chin. Immediately, Wang Teng took out three pieces of equipment from his inventory.
First was the Arbiter, a rifle. Wang Teng noticed it was different from the equipment sold in the system shop; it seemed to have no rank restriction, meaning he could equip it immediately.
Furthermore, the Arbiter rifle was quite effective, suitable for Soul Masters of any level, and compared to ordinary rifles, it could increase attack power by 30%. Clearly, this rankless Arbiter rifle was somewhat of a waste for Wang Teng.
After all, in the hands of a Title Douluo, it would be a tenth-rank Soul Tool, increasing the power of Soul Power bullets by 30%, while in Wang Teng's hands, it was currently only a second-rank Soul Tool. Even when Wang Teng was about to advance to a Great Soul Master, it would only be a third-rank Soul Tool, priced at 300 gold Soul Coins in the system shop.
Compared to an ordinary rifle, it only increased the power of Soul Power bullets by 30%. Of course, Wang Teng didn't mind; on the contrary, he happily equipped it to himself.
The "Inheritance: Sacred Aurora Elf" jewelry set consists of three parts: the "Inheritance: Sacred Aurora Elf" bracers, the "Inheritance: Sacred Aurora Elf" ring, and the "Inheritance: Sacred Aurora Elf" pendant. Its effects are impressive, increasing soul skill defense by 100% and boosting mental power by 100%. Aside from the 100% soul skill defense boost common to ordinary jewelry, the 100% mental power boost alone is phenomenal.
It's important to understand that soul beasts that have reached ten thousand years of age possess remnants of their soul within their soul rings. When a soul master absorbs these remnants, it causes a soul shock, and if their mental power isn't strong enough, they can easily become mentally impaired.
With the "Inheritance: Sacred Aurora Elf" jewelry set, mental power is no longer a concern. When Wang Teng acquires his fourth soul ring, as long as his physical strength is sufficient, he can attempt to absorb the black ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Furthermore, this inheritance set, like the previously acquired Arbiter's Rifle, has no level restrictions. This means that even if Wang Teng advances to a higher level, the boosting effect will not be diminished.
The remaining inheritance: the Sacred Earth Goddess Crimson Iron Plate Armor Set, is divided into five parts. These are: Sacred Earth Goddess Crimson Iron Breastplate, Sacred Earth Goddess Crimson Iron Leggings, Sacred Earth Goddess Crimson Iron Shoulder Pads, Sacred Earth Goddess Crimson Iron Belt, and Sacred Earth Goddess Crimson Iron Boots.
The effects are similar to the previous inheritance jewelry set, increasing physical defense by 100%, attack power by 100%, and additionally increasing physical attributes by 100%.
Compared to ordinary armor, it provides additional boosts to attack power and physical attributes.
It can be said that with these two sets, the boost to Wang Teng is enormous; obtaining a ten-thousand-year-old fourth spirit ring will be a breeze.
However, Wang Teng possesses the heaven-defying Lord's Origin, so he doesn't need to absorb spirit rings beyond the limit. If he wanted to, his first spirit ring could be upgraded to ten thousand years in less than a month.
Therefore, absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit is meaningless for Wang Teng. Moreover, the cunning and calculating Wang Teng has no intention of acting ostentatiously.
"Develop cautiously, don't be reckless!" This saying resonated deeply with Wang Teng, becoming his motto.
After all, Wang Teng was about to acquire his second spirit ring, and based on his previous physical abilities, he estimated that his second spirit ring could withstand a spirit ring just over 1000 years old.
And with the boost from the Inheritance Set, it would be even more unstoppable.
