Chapter 110: Chapter 111: Nine Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings? Experimenting with Spirit Skills
Still unwilling to admit defeat?
Seeing the Blood Bat stubbornly charge at him again, even after activating its Spirit Avatar and unleashing spirit abilities, Lin Ye's brows furrowed.
"Fine, I'll show you the gap between us clearly!"
A cold smile appeared on Lin Ye's lips. He channeled the Nine Yang True Qi into his right hand, clenching it into a fist.
As the Blood Bat, in its Spirit Avatar state, slashed at him with its claw, Lin Ye met the attack head-on. He let out a low roar in his heart and threw a heavy punch forward.
"Boom!"
The claw, brimming with malevolent spirit power, collided violently with Lin Ye's fist, which was enveloped in the pure and overwhelming Nine Yang True Qi.
Instantly, a thunderous roar erupted, unleashing a terrifying energy wave that surged outward in all directions. Along with it, powerful gusts swept through the surroundings, scattering fragments of stone and clumps of dirt everywhere.
However, against Lin Ye—who had activated the Titled Douluo Experience Card, elevating his cultivation to rank 99—the Blood Bat, merely a Spirit Sage, stood no chance.
Even with its Spirit Avatar and every ounce of its strength poured into its techniques, it couldn't hope to rival Lin Ye.
The moment the claw and fist collided, the clash of spirit power and true qi quickly revealed the victor.
The Blood Bat's spirit power, tainted with sinister and bloodthirsty energy, melted away under the scorching force of Lin Ye's Nine Yang True Qi, as snow would under the blazing sun.
Lin Ye's fist, encased in robust Nine Yang True Qi, shattered the spirit energy coating on the Blood Bat's claws within mere moments. His punch continued forward, striking the claw directly.
"Crack!"
A sharp, brittle sound rang out as the Blood Bat's claw was utterly pulverized under Lin Ye's strike. Its frail right arm shattered completely, and Lin Ye's unstoppable punch drove further, caving in the Blood Bat's chest with a sickening crunch.
"Pfft!"
Blood sprayed from the Blood Bat's mouth as its eyes bulged in agony. The creature was sent hurtling backward, slamming into the rocky cliffside with a piercing howl.
---
Lin Ye, however, didn't stop there. His figure blurred as he lunged forward. Reaching into the hole where the Blood Bat had crashed, his hand clamped firmly around its neck. With a single motion, he yanked the battered figure out of the wall.
"Do you understand the gap between us now?"
Lin Ye's cold voice echoed as his right hand tightened around the Blood Bat's throat. His entire body radiated the blazing Nine Yang True Qi, forming a protective aura that shimmered like an indomitable shield.
The Blood Bat struggled feebly, coughing up blood mixed with fragments of its shattered organs. Its voice was hoarse but filled with disbelief.
"Who... who are you? How is it possible that even after I used my Spirit Avatar, I can't match someone who hasn't even summoned their spirit?!"
"Who am I?"
Hearing the indignation in the Blood Bat's voice, Lin Ye smirked. Without answering directly, he activated his Martial Soul Possession.
This time, Lin Ye called forth the Devouring Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul. A martial soul of such ferocious power required a solid foundation, and only now could Lin Ye unleash its full potential.
A deep dragon's roar echoed as a sleek black dragon shadow emerged from Lin Ye's body.
As the shadow appeared, an ocean-like pressure surged from the Devouring Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul, filling the air with a dominating dragon's might.
"A dragon... martial soul?!"
The Blood Bat froze in terror. Its Bloodthirsty Demon Bat martial soul—an entity that feared nothing—now trembled uncontrollably under the crushing might of the dragon.
Under the overwhelming pressure, the Blood Bat found its spirit power faltering, its flow sluggish and obstructed.
Before its eyes, the black dragon shadow merged back into Lin Ye's body. Black scales streaked with golden patterns sprouted across Lin Ye's skin. His stature grew taller, his hands transformed into sharp claws, horns emerged from his forehead, and his eyes turned into gleaming golden slits.
However, what terrified the Blood Bat most was not Lin Ye's transformation—it was the crimson spirit rings rising from his feet.
One after another, nine vivid red rings appeared, swirling around Lin Ye in a mesmerizing yet suffocating display.
"N-Nine ten-thousand-year spirit rings? Y-You're a Titled Douluo?!"
The Blood Bat's shriek was filled with unprecedented fear.
A mere youth stood before it as a Titled Douluo, adorned with nine ten-thousand-year spirit rings? Surely this was a joke!
Nine ten-thousand-year spirit rings—impossible! No soul master could withstand absorbing such rings without their body exploding. And yet, Lin Ye had them.
Lin Ye, too, was taken aback.
"So, the Titled Douluo Experience Card grants spirit rings in addition to cultivation? Interesting. But what kind of abilities do these rings have? Let's find out."
With curiosity gleaming in his eyes, Lin Ye focused on the Blood Bat in his grasp. Activating the ability of the first spirit ring, a terrifying devouring force surged from his hand.
The Blood Bat, already pale with fear, screamed hysterically.
"What is this?! No! Stop it!"
Under the devouring force, its already frail body shriveled further, as though its essence—its life force, spirit power, and mental energy—were being drained completely.
Realizing the Blood Bat still had some use, Lin Ye quickly stopped the first spirit ring's ability. Summoning the Nine Spirit Celestial Mandala Martial Soul, he restored the Blood Bat. Its recovery, enhanced by the Titled Douluo state, was swift and thorough.
Yet, as soon as the Blood Bat was healed, it became Lin Ye's experimental subject once more. Time and again, its energy was drained and restored as Lin Ye tested the spirit skills of the Devouring Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul.
After numerous trials, Lin Ye confirmed his findings:
While the nine spirit rings granted by the Titled Douluo Experience Card amplified the martial soul's innate abilities, they didn't come with unique spirit skills. They served purely as a boost to the martial soul's power.
By the end of the experiments, the Blood Bat was reduced to a husk of its former self—a trembling, skeletal figure with its life force almost entirely drained.
Lin Ye, however, showed no pity.
This wasn't cruelty but justice. To him, evil spirit masters like the Blood Bat deserved no mercy.
