Chapter 60: "System Version" God-bestowed Soul Ring — Attempting Ten Thousand Years Ring
Across the continent,
After reading Lin Chen's diary entry, those with limited knowledge were utterly shaken.
They had always believed that the strongest soul beasts in existence were merely 100,000-year soul beasts. Yet now, they learned that there were fierce beasts cultivated for several hundred thousand years.
And in the vast ocean, there even existed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a cultivation of one million years.
This revelation completely broadened their horizons.
So many secrets were hidden within the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, they had previously read in Lin Chen's diary that, within the present-day Star Dou Forest, slumbered the Silver Dragon King, a true divine beast.
Chat Group
[I Am a Little Princess: So there are this many fierce beasts in the world… Compared to that, 100,000-year soul beasts suddenly don't seem like much.]
[Green Grass: I feel offended.]
[Carrot Lover: Sister Ah Yin, 100,000-year soul beasts are still very powerful and rare. Don't belittle yourself.]
[Green Grass: I know. I just didn't realize our soul beast world had so many hidden powerhouses. No wonder Lin Chen once said that in this era, soul beasts are stronger than humans.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Soul beasts are strong, sure, but our soul masters' peak combat power is terrifying too.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: According to Lin Chen, Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen would be top-tier in any era. That's incredible.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Speaking of which, are the peerless Douluo of our era really that monstrous? I thought future generations' peak experts would be stronger than ours.]
[Pope of Spirit Hall: Liu Erlong, your knowledge is truly shallow.]
[Pope of Spirit Hall: Though I dislike the Qian family, I must admit Qian Daoliu is the strongest soul master I've ever seen. If I faced him now, I likely wouldn't survive even a single move.]
[Pope of Spirit Hall: As for Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, I haven't met them, but since they're on par with Qian Daoliu, their strength must be terrifying as well.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: I admire that Ultimate Douluo named Bo Saixi the most—the only woman standing at the pinnacle of the soul master world. I wonder what kind of person she is.]
[Sea God's Spokesperson: Ahem… I think she's probably not that different from you all.]
[Sea God's Spokesperson: The only difference between you and her is that your soul power levels are a bit lower.]
[Sea God's Spokesperson: Don't belittle yourselves. With the diary copy, your future achievements will absolutely not fall short of hers.]
Sea God Island
A breathtakingly beautiful and mature woman watched the admiration directed toward her in the chat group, secretly pleased.
What did it feel like to sit in the chat group and watch others admire you?
Bo Saixi's answer: extremely satisfying.
After joining the chat group, she had gradually begun to regard its members as friends and companions walking the same path.
Naturally, being admired by friends brought her joy.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
After finishing the second week's diary entry, Lin Chen closed his black diary and prepared to claim his weekly reward.
In the next moment, mechanical system notifications echoed in his mind:
[Congratulations to the host for completing two consecutive weeks of diary entries. Reward: Two God-bestowed Soul Rings.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen jumped to his feet in excitement.
"System, you're truly my beloved. If you had a physical form, I'd kiss you on the spot!"
[Ding. Host is warned against verbally harassing this system. Any further offense will result in the immediate withdrawal of rewards.]
Lin Chen swallowed the rest of his praise.
He had no intention of getting his reward revoked.
Suddenly,
A streak of flowing light shot down from the void, plunging into Lin Chen's body. Immediately afterward, a soul ring appeared above his head.
A God-bestowed Soul Ring generates the most suitable soul ring for a soul master based on physical constitution, spiritual power, and martial soul characteristics.
Its preciousness is in no way inferior to a 100,000-year soul ring. If one's physical and spiritual strength reach the level of a Titled Douluo, the ring can even grant two extraordinarily suitable soul skills.
The soul ring floating above Lin Chen's head began as white.
It gradually deepened into yellow… then dark yellow.
But it did not stop there.
After absorbing the medicinal power of three immortal herbs and dozens of thousand-year spiritual herbs, every aspect of Lin Chen's attributes had risen dramatically.
The soul ring's color shifted from dark yellow to purple.
A purple soul ring—a thousand-year soul ring—was something only a Soul Elder would normally qualify to absorb.
Yet Lin Chen was absorbing one as his second ring.
In this era, he was the first Soul Grandmaster to accomplish such a feat.
Once the soul ring reached the thousand-year threshold, Lin Chen began to feel pressure.
1,500 years… 2,000 years… 3,000 years…
It continued climbing until finally stopping at 5,000 years.
"Hu."
Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and released both of his soul rings.
"First ring: thousand-year. The second ring: five thousand years old. Not bad."
Looking at the two purple soul rings orbiting him, Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction.
The first thousand-year ring had been a previous system reward. Even if his physical body hadn't been strong enough, he could still absorb it.
But this second five-thousand-year ring had been fully endured through his own physical constitution.
He then examined his soul power level.
Without question, it had reached Rank 30.
"Perhaps the third ring can attempt ten thousand years."
Feeling the strength surging through his body, ambition ignited within him.
He wanted his third soul ring to directly reach the ten-thousand-year level.
But he knew that, at present, he was not yet capable.
To absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, one must possess both a formidable physical constitution and spiritual power that has reached the Spirit Sea Realm.
Neither could be lacking.
As for physical strength—
After gaining ten levels of soul power and absorbing a five-thousand-year God-bestowed Soul Ring, his body had undergone two massive refinements.
Now, Lin Chen was confident that his physical strength was no weaker than an ordinary Soul King. It was sufficient to withstand the energy impact of a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
But the soul shock of a ten-thousand-year soul ring?
That was another matter entirely.
"I'll need to refine another pill that enhances spiritual power."
Lin Chen's gaze shifted toward a seemingly inconspicuous herb growing within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The herb was entirely emerald green. At its center were three snow-white leaves, and within the center of those leaves rested a few droplets of liquid, like morning dew, clinging delicately to their surface.
