but!
What is the iron law of Douluo Continent that has lasted for tens of millions of years? Once the soul ring is absorbed, it will be fixed for life! Unchangeable! Cannot be promoted! This is common sense in the soul master world, and it is a more unbreakable truth than the sun rising in the east and setting in the west!
But now, this truth, right in front of their eyes, was broken by something like broken glass that a six-year-old child opened out of a broken wooden box...? !
Even if it is only an insignificant ten years, even if it is still far away from the true hundred-year soul ring...but what does it mean? This means that the soul ring is not absolutely unchangeable! This means that a new, subversive possibility has been opened!
This is no longer a shortcut to avoid hard work! This is simply...a miracle that changes fate against the will of heaven!
The dead silence lasted only a short moment.
The next second, it was like a volcano that had been building up for thousands of years exploded!
Brother! No! Boss Ling Ye! Please leave one for me tomorrow! "
"Go away! Boss Ling Ye! I'll give you ten gold soul coins! No! Twenty! Give me one! Please!"
"Ling Ye! Look at me! I will be yours from now on! You can do anything! Give me a chance!"
Crazy roars, incoherent begging, desperate pushing... the crowd was completely plunged into hysterical frenzy! Countless hands stretched out towards Ling Ye, and countless scorching eyes that almost ate him alive were focused on him! The scene instantly spiraled out of control, becoming ten or a hundred times more chaotic than yesterday evening!
Li Tie was still immersed in the great ecstasy and confusion about the increase in the life of his soul ring, when he was overwhelmed by the surging crowd.
"Today's blind boxes are sold out." He raised his voice, trying to drown out the noise around him, but the childish voice was like a gnat in the frenzied noise.
It seemed that the crowd was about to completely drown him.
「Quiet!!!」
A roar that contained terrifying soul power, like thunder from the sky, exploded over the square! The powerful pressure was like a physical mountain, suddenly pressing down! In an instant, all the noise, pushing, and crazy roars were forcibly suppressed by this terrifying force! Hundreds of students who were caught in a frenzy were like ducks that had their necks strangled. The blood on their faces faded and their bodies became stiff. Those with weaker cultivation levels even had their legs weaken and collapsed directly to the ground!
I saw three figures appearing in front of Ling Ye's stall like ghosts. The leader was a tall man with a stern face. He was the intermediate college instructor who had appeared yesterday evening and scolded Ling Ye! At this moment, his face was ashen, and his eyes were full of shock, anger and disbelief! Behind him, on both sides, were two old men with white beards and hair, wearing robes with dark gold patterns exclusive to the Elder Hall of Wuhun Hall! The auras of the two old men were as deep as the sea, and their gazes were like physical searchlights, instantly locking on Ling Ye.
One of the old men seemed to shake slightly on the spot, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Li Tie as if teleporting! The speed is faster than anyone can visually capture!
"You!" Elder Qinghui's voice was low and cold, with an unquestionable tone of command, "Release your first spirit ring!"
Li Tie was so frightened by this sudden and terrifying existence that his legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees. Under the gaze of those falcon-like eyes, he could not even think of resisting, and almost instinctively activated his soul power tremblingly.
Buzz!
A yellow soul ring rose from Li Tie's feet.
"The age...has really increased..." Elder Qinghui's voice was extremely dry. He suddenly retracted his fingers and suddenly turned his head to look at the little figure sitting on the pony - Ling Ye!
· All the students in the square, including the college instructor, were stunned by Elder Qinghui’s dry but thunderous words!
The elder... confirmed it personally!
The life span of the soul ring... has really increased!
It’s not an illusion! It’s not a cover-up! It’s an ironclad fact!
This news is more devastating than Li Tie’s roar just now! It was like the most violent hurricane, instantly destroying everyone's last remaining doubt, leaving only boundless shock and a tremor that touched the taboo!
"Clear the square!" The simple-faced elder on the right finally spoke. His voice was like a bell, with irresistible majesty, which instantly suppressed the turmoil in everyone's hearts. "All students, return to their respective areas immediately! No discussion without permission! No spreading! Violators will be severely punished!"
The last word fell, like a cold iron law imprinted on everyone's mind!
"Yes! I will obey the elder's order!" As if he had received an amnesty, the college instructor immediately straightened his back and shouted sternly at the silent students around him: "Did you all hear that? Leave the square immediately! Go back to the dormitory! No one is allowed to stay and discuss! Hurry!"
Soon, the huge square became empty and silent, leaving only the rustle of fallen leaves in the morning breeze.
Elder Qinghuo’s gaze was still like a red-hot iron, nailing Ling Ye’s body. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
At this moment, an extremely weak but unique rhythm of soul power fluctuations, like invisible threads, quietly penetrated the space and fell on the ears of the two elders and the mentor respectively. The fluctuation is extremely obscure, but it carries an unquestionable will that originates from the highest level of Wuhun Palace!
The expressions of the two elders changed slightly at the same time. The crazy exploration and greed in Elder Qinghui's eyes instantly subsided. He took a deep look at Ling Ye, as if he wanted to carve this little figure into his mind, but in the end he just let out a light hum of unknown meaning from his nose.
The simple elder on the right nodded very slightly towards a certain direction in the void.
"Student Ling Ye," the academy instructor received the instruction and immediately stepped forward and said to Ling Ye. His tone was completely different from yesterday's reprimand, and even contained a hint of politeness that even he himself had not noticed. "That's it for today. You...return to your dormitory immediately and are not allowed to go out. As for your martial soul ability, blind boxes are not allowed to be sold publicly in the academy until there is a conclusion."
He paused, his voice lowered, with a warning tone: "His Majesty the Pope, you are aware of everything. You can take care of yourself, practice with peace of mind, and don't cause trouble again."
"Yes, mentor." Ling Ye responded calmly, with no emotion on his face. He struggled to carry the cloth bag containing three empty boxes and several gold soul coins, and picked up the small horse. His small figure looked a little thin in the empty square.
It wasn't until Ling Ye's figure disappeared around the corner of the dormitory building on the edge of the square that Elder Qinghui slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at his colleagues beside him with complicated eyes. His voice was as low as a whisper: "Ghost Leopard, do you feel it? The increase in the life of the soul ring... although it is weak, the power of the rules... has been touched. Moved! "
The simple elder known as "Ghost Leopard", with a serious face, nodded slowly: "Qianjun, you can't go wrong. It is a kind of... almost "gifted" power. This child's martial spirit... is probably more... terrifying than we imagined. "
The two titled Douluo looked at each other, and both saw an indescribable excitement in each other's eyes. They stopped talking, and their figures were like ink stains blending into the water, disappearing silently, as if they had never appeared. Only the intermediate college tutor was left standing alone in the middle of the empty square, feeling the coolness of the morning breeze, only to find that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Go to the window and gently lift a corner of the curtain. On the path leading to the dormitory building downstairs, at some point, two figures appeared silently. They were wearing the black attire common to the deacons of Wuhun Hall, with ordinary faces and reserved auras. They were like two lifeless stone sculptures, standing quietly in the shadows on both sides of the entrance to the dormitory building.
Protection? Or surveillance?
Ling Ye lowered the curtains and raised an almost undetectable arc at the corner of his mouth. Pope Bibi Dong... indeed knew. It seems that the changes in Hu Liena's and Li Tie's soul rings yesterday and today's soul ring have clearly fallen into the eyes of the pope.
This is fine, since I am also a hero of Wuhun Palace, I think there will be no danger.
Ling Ye walked to the center of the room and sat cross-legged on the simple futon on the floor. He closed his eyes, his mind sank into his Dantian, and began to absorb the ten-year soul ring.
When the last ray of the setting sun sinks completely into the horizon and darkness envelopes the earth.
Hum——!
Ling Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, felt his body shake violently!
Level eleven! Soul master!
At the same moment when Ling Ye broke through.
deep inside the papal palace, in the huge dark study.
On the obsidian desk, the huge crystal ball is emitting a soft light. Inside the sphere, a simple dormitory room was clearly reflected - Ling Ye's figure sitting cross-legged, and the shadow of the blind box that had just condensed and disappeared in his palm.
Beside the crystal ball, a slender white hand with clear joints was resting on the table casually, and the fingertips were tapping the cold table top every time.
Da...dah...dah...
Regular knocking sounds echoed in the silent study.
The light of the crystal ball reflected the beautiful and indifferent side face behind the desk. Bibi Dong's deep purple eyes seemed to contain an entire nebula, so deep that they couldn't even see the bottom. Her eyes penetrated the crystal ball and landed on Ling Ye's childish but overly calm face, as if she was examining something... extremely interesting, but also containing unknown risks.
When he saw the blind box in Ling Ye's palm condensing and dissipating, and sensed the moment when his soul power fluctuation exceeded the tenth level, the corner of Bibi Dong's lips, which looked like they had been frozen for ten thousand years, moved upwards very slightly, evoking a cold and playful arc.
"Have you reached level 11..." Her low voice sounded like a cold spring flowing in the empty study room, with a hint of indifference to control everything, "Little guy, your journey... has just begun. Don't let me...disappoint you."
Send the order. "Bibi Dong's voice suddenly turned cold, like a cold blade being unsheathed, "From now on, Ling Ye is not allowed to sell blind boxes publicly in the academy.
"Tell Nana," Bibi Dong's voice carried a hint of elusive playfulness, "Let her bring Xie Yue and Yan, and she must open all three blind boxes every day."
“Yes.” An extremely slight response came from the void, like a gnat, and then disappeared completely.
The huge study room returned to dead silence, with only the crystal ball emitting a constant glimmer. Bibi Dong leaned back on the large seat, her long dark purple hair flowing with a satin-like luster in the darkness. She closed her eyes, and the corners of her lips curved in a cold and absolute arc.
"Let me see how many surprises your blind box...can bring out."
