Chapter 81: Absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring
"Huh."
Lin Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief. In order to prevent the Golden Tortoise from attacking or escaping—and to take care of Huo Yutong and Wang Dong'er—he had almost opened fire.
But the ending was very gratifying. The Golden Tortoise was killed by him without much resistance, which made Lin Qinghan have a more accurate assessment of his own strength.
He hadn't even used his strongest attack soul skill, Bioelectric Deprivation. Although it was due to the carelessness of the Golden Tortoise, Lin Qinghan estimated that if he was at full strength now, there should be no opponent under the Super Douluo.
"Qinghan, are you really less than level 60? Why do I feel that you are more powerful than ordinary Titled Douluo?"
Wang Dong'er, seeing the crisis resolved, quietly approached Lin Qinghan. Looking at the 100,000-year soul ring on the soul beast's corpse that exuded a captivating pressure, she swallowed her saliva and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although she had always known that Lin Qinghan was unreasonable, it still felt a little unreal to see her boyfriend kill a 100,000-year soul beast so cleanly.
"This 100,000-year soul beast is at most as powerful as a 60,000-year soul beast. I probably can't deal with a real 100,000-year soul beast."
Facing Wang Dong'er's shock, Lin Qinghan explained. But this was only a conservative estimate for a head-on battle. If it were a real fight, he wouldn't choose a direct confrontation—his strong concealment ability meant sneak attacks could maximize his damage.
"That's also amazing, okay? We're obviously about the same age, but why do I feel like even a hundred of me aren't your opponent?"
Wang Dong'er got close to Lin Qinghan and hugged his neck. The shock on her face slowly faded, and she started to act coquettishly toward him.
"Don't make trouble yet—we need to move to a safe place first. I want to absorb this 100,000-year soul ring."
Lin Qinghan pushed Wang Dong'er away, and before she could react, he engulfed her with his spiritual stance, quickly leaving the area with Huo Yutong—who was still absorbing her soul ring—and the soul ring of the 100,000-year soul beast.
Lin Qinghan didn't care about the danger of flying in the Star Dou Great Forest. He activated the concealment of his mental projection and flew at full speed, ensuring that Huo Yutong could absorb her soul ring normally. He soon reached the outskirts of the forest and found a cave.
"Dong'er, it looks like you'll have to wait a day for your spirit ring. I want to absorb this soul ring now. I guess Huo Yutong will wake up first."
Lin Qinghan killed the spirit beast that originally lived in the cave, cleaned it using his mental stance, and gave some instructions to Wang Dong'er beside him. At the same time, he set up camouflage at the cave entrance.
Wang Dong'er would likely be the only one awake soon, but as a quasi-spirit master, she could still play a certain role as a guardian.
Lin Qinghan had already decided to attach the soul ring of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle to his Brainwave martial soul. Although this 100,000-year attribute didn't match him very well, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was a top-level spirit beast with golden blood and strong mental power.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle had once escaped from Emperor Tian, so its innate soul skills must be very powerful.
Moreover, Lin Qinghan was currently level 59. After absorbing this soul ring, he would definitely reach the level 60 bottleneck, saving him at least four months of time.
"Aren't you only level 59? Do you also have twin martial spirits?"
Wang Dong'er didn't doubt Lin Qinghan's ability to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, but if she remembered correctly, he was still only level 59, right?
If he could still absorb soul rings, didn't that mean Lin Qinghan had more than one martial spirit? That made him a peerless evildoer—twin martial spirits meant he was practically in a league of his own.
Facing her question, Lin Qinghan just nodded vaguely. Then, he walked to the side of the Golden Tortoise's corpse, ready to start absorbing the soul ring.
Lin Qinghan's breath suddenly sank, and he became calm. A golden spirit ring appeared on his body. He closed his eyes, then pulled the red spirit ring over himself.
Although it was his first time absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, his fifth soul ring of his Bioelectric spirit was already 90,000 years. His strength had greatly increased compared to before, and he had also condensed his soul core. It was naturally not a problem to absorb a slightly weakened 100,000-year soul ring.
Wang Dong'er crouched beside him, watching Lin Qinghan absorb the ring. She felt happy and proud of her boyfriend—but also a little downhearted. Her emotions were complicated.
Lin Qinghan was her boyfriend: talented and powerful. Of course she was happy for him. But she didn't want to be left behind, always being protected. And yet, with her current strength, catching up to Lin Qinghan—or even fighting alongside him—seemed impossible.
Still, Wang Dong'er wouldn't give up. She knew herself well. She was already a rare genius on the Douluo Continent. Now she just seemed weak in comparison to a monster like Lin Qinghan.
Three hours later, on the other side of the cave, Huo Yutong had finished absorbing her second soul ring. Her body had been strengthened by the Gold of Life. Even if she absorbed a ring close to her physical limit, it was still faster than that of ordinary spirit masters.
Huo Yutong opened her eyes. A flash of joy passed through them. She had already learned her second soul skill: Copying. It could copy the soul skills of other soul masters, though only one at a time—but it could be replaced freely. A very practical skill.
And with Lin Qinghan by her side, a master of incredible soul skills, copying even one could boost her combat power significantly.
But when she noticed the drastically changed environment—and especially when she saw Lin Qinghan absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring—a bit of doubt appeared on her pretty face.
"Yutong, you absorbed your soul ring so fast! What's your soul skill?"
Wang Dong'er saw Huo Yutong finish and came over. For the past three hours, she'd done nothing but help guard Lin Qinghan, and now she was a bit bored.
"One is the innate soul skill of the Silver Ying Beast—it can copy other soul masters' soul skills. By the way, why is Brother Qinghan absorbing a soul ring now? And it's even a 100,000-year one?"
Huo Yutong told Wang Dong'er about her skill directly. They would be sisters in the future, and there was no need to hide. However, Lin Qinghan's current situation made her a bit curious.
During the time she had been absorbing her ring, it seemed like a lot had happened. A 100,000-year soul beast had even appeared—but she wasn't disturbed at all during the process?
"What a powerful soul skill! Can you copy Qinghan's soul skill?"
Wang Dong'er was envious after learning about Huo Yutong's new skill, but she quickly moved on and told her everything that had happened.
