Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Innate Soul Evolution Art—Ring Condensing Method and Meridian Shaping Method



Gu Yuena and Lin Feng sat facing each other, surrounded by a lustrous, azure brilliance, as if they were in a mysterious world.

"I will first use my divine power to shape a soul ring. You comprehend it carefully."

"If you consume divine power, will it affect you? After all, you are still in the process of recovery. The injury brought by the Asura God has not yet been completely repaired."

Gu Yuena smiled lightly, very pleased with Lin Feng's concern. She slowly shook her head. "It won't contain the effect of giving birth to a soul skill. It will only have the foundation of a soul ring's formation."

"If you compare a soul ring to a river, the riverbed is the foundation of the laws, and the soul power is the water flow. I am just shaping an empty shell. It won't affect me."

As she spoke, a silver light began to shine in Gu Yuena's hand. Her fingers danced gently, as if drawing something in the air. Gradually, a vague shape of a soul ring began to condense in her hand.

Lin Feng watched this scene without blinking, his heart full of curiosity. He could feel the divine power fluctuation emanating from Gu Yuena's body, a power that seemed capable of shaking the heavens and the earth.

As time went on, the shape of the soul ring became clearer and clearer, and its color gradually became deeper. Finally, a complete soul ring appeared in Gu Yuena's hand. It emitted a faint white light, as if it had a life of its own.

"Is this the prototype of a soul ring?" Lin Feng said in amazement.

Gu Yuena smiled and nodded. "Yes. You can now carefully comprehend the structure and legal foundation of this soul ring. This will be of great help to you in condensing your own soul ring later."

Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately immersed himself in the comprehension of this soul ring. He could feel the power of the laws contained within it, as well as the strange feeling of merging with the heavens and the earth.

Ring interlocked with ring, round and as one. He seemed to see that every structure in the soul ring was closely connected, forming a perfect whole. And this whole, in turn, corresponded with the surrounding spiritual qi of heaven and earth, evolving into a harmonious and unified system.

Lin Feng was thoughtful. When it comes to this matter of foundation, what can compare to the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, the primordial and pure nature of "Qi," that power which is formless and without substance, yet can nurture all things? With a feeling in his heart, he immediately took action. With "Qi" as the foundation and the five-element soul power as the cornerstone, he began to construct the shape of a soul ring in his palm.

Ping—

A sound like shattering glass was heard. The unformed soul ring in Lin Feng's hand suddenly shattered.

"Pfft—"

Lin Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his gaze was even more brilliant, as if a fire were burning within. He was not discouraged by his failure, but instead, his conviction was strengthened.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly and guided the life force of the Life Gold to restore Lin Feng.

At a time like this, there was no need for Lin Feng to use his own Breath of Life. That would waste his soul power.

Lin Feng nodded, signaling Gu Yuena that no more action was needed. In his first attempt, Lin Feng had suddenly discovered that perhaps there was another path, a shortcut.

His Soul Veins themselves were shaped from soul rings. Within them was contained the basic law for constructing a soul ring. For him to release his five-element soul power and golden "Qi" and then condense a soul ring was, on the contrary, not making good use of the tools that already existed.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand, and the projection of the Innate Treasure Pearl was summoned. The next instant, his spiritual power firmly locked onto the Five Elements Soul Veins and the martial soul in his dantian.

The Innate Treasure Pearl in his hand, although it was a phantom, also contained the essence of his martial soul. He mobilized the soul power and "Qi" from his Five Elements Soul Veins and directly transported it from inside his body to the outside of the phantom, to construct the core of a new soul ring.

Thus, the laws, the origin of the martial soul, and the majestic soul power were all present!

Everything was falling into place. The process of the soul ring transforming into a Soul Vein had given him the cognition of a soul ring's structure. The subtle influence of the Soul Veins had deepened his understanding of the laws. The Soul Veins nourished a majestic soul power and even gave birth to the existence of "Qi." The martial soul projection provided the origin force.

Under Gu Yuena's shocked gaze, the soul ring on the phantom of the Innate Treasure Pearl in Lin Feng's hand gradually solidified, emitting a brilliant white light. As soul power and "Qi" were continuously injected, this new soul ring began to slowly float up and down, emitting a powerful energy fluctuation.

"You... you actually succeeded?" Gu Yuena said in astonishment. She clearly hadn't expected Lin Feng to be able to comprehend and successfully condense a new soul ring in such a short time.

Lin Feng smiled faintly and nodded. "Yes, I succeeded. This is also thanks to your guidance and help."

Gu Yuena stared at Lin Feng, the shock in her eyes gradually turning into appreciation and praise, as well as a deeply hidden desire.

"Very stable. Even more stable than I had imagined. Compared to a soul beast's self-condensed soul ring, it also has a kind of pure feeling. I have to say, you have given me another surprise, Xiao Feng."

Lin Feng noticed the change in how Gu Yuena addressed him, but he only gave a shallow smile and did not say much more.

"I plan to continue to fill it with energy until I reach the limit of balance I can control. All the 'Qi' should be used for this."

"You just go ahead and do it. Don't worry about the rest. If your soul power is not enough, I will supplement it."

Lin Feng agreed and began to supplement the newborn soul ring with energy. As time went on, the new soul ring in Lin Feng's hand became more and more solid, and its light became more and more brilliant. Gu Yuena quietly observed from the side. She could feel the powerful energy contained in this soul ring, as well as Lin Feng's precise control over it.

When Lin Feng felt that the soul ring had already reached the limit he could control, he stopped the injection of energy. At this time, the new soul ring was already stably floating in the air, emitting a dazzling black light. From the depth of its color, it was a soul ring of about fifty thousand years.

"It's done," Lin Feng took a deep breath, a satisfied smile on his face.

Gu Yuena carefully examined the soul ring. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she asked, "Are you going to absorb it directly?"

"No."

Lin Feng shook his head. "This was just an experiment. My purpose, from the very beginning, was not to self-condense a soul ring and then shape a Soul Vein."

"I want to skip this process. Inside my body, I will directly shape the Soul Vein!"

He continued, "The process from zero to one is the most difficult. But I have taken this step and successfully condensed a soul ring myself. What I need to do is to achieve a one-step leap, from the laws and soul power directly evolving into a Soul Vein. This process is very simple. What is needed is just my familiarity with the shaping of a soul ring."

"After all, the matter of a soul ring turning into a Soul Vein is something I have already done countless times. Therefore, in the time to come, I will continuously practice the condensation of soul rings. Finally, I will combine the two into one and achieve it in one step."

Gu Yuena nodded gently. Looking at the soul ring in Lin Feng's hand, she asked, "Then this soul ring, how do you plan to handle it? It can't be taken back."

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He pondered for a moment. "How about... we throw it out and blow it up?"

Gu Yuena blinked her eyes. "Where to throw it?"

"Xiong Jun's old nest. He snatched my and Ah Yin's roasted fish last time, and the time before that. Want to go together?" Lin Feng extended his hand.

Gu Yuena opened her mouth, clearly not expecting the place Lin Feng would suggest would be here. You have such a big grudge against Xiong Jun? For some reason, she felt a little excited. What's going on?

That fellow Xiong Jun, how could he have imagined that his own master would go to his place and blow up his nest?

Gu Yuena took the opportunity to take Lin Feng's hand. The two looked at each other and smiled. A spatial rift appeared. The next moment, in Xiong Jun's territory, that wide open flat land that looked like a nest, a clap of thunder sounded.

Boom!—

"Roar—Holy Crap!!"

The sleeping Xiong Jun was awakened by the sudden explosion. The huge sound and shockwave made him instantly sit up from his sleep. An angry roar echoed throughout the entire territory. He widened his eyes, looking around, wanting to find out which blind fool dared to cause trouble in his territory.

In Xiong Jun's territory, after the angry roar, Xiong Jun searched everywhere for the perpetrator but found nothing. Xiong Jun's eyes couldn't help but widen. Suddenly, a light flashed in his pupils.

Hey, can't find the culprit? I have a good idea! Can't find the criminal = everyone could be the perpetrator = I can have a friendly spar with everyone.

The next instant, he ran towards the direction of the good old man Chi Wang, whose territory was closest to his. "Roar! Chi Wang! You compensate me for my nest!"

Chi Wang: ??? If you want to fight, just say so!

And at this time, Lin Feng and Gu Yuena had already returned to their original place. Looking in the direction of Xiong Jun's territory, both couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This time it's letting him off easy. Just scaring him a little," Lin Feng said jokingly.

Gu Yuena also couldn't help but laugh. An occasional bit of impropriety seemed to make her mood more pleasant. "Next time we can think of a more interesting way to play."

The two looked at each other and smiled. The tacit understanding in their hearts deepened. This was just a small prank between them, but it made their relationship closer.

Subsequently, Lin Feng began to focus on his soul ring condensation. With Gu Yuena's guidance and help, his shaping of the soul ring became more and more proficient. Every attempt brought him closer to his goal.

Finally, after staying in the space below the Lake of Life for 7 days, Lin Feng finally began to carry out his own Soul Vein shaping.

He used all his body's soul power and "Qi" to carry out the newest Soul Vein condensation. And the position of this Soul Vein was chosen by Lin Feng to be on his left arm.

A long time ago, the positions of the remaining four Soul Veins had been determined by Lin Feng to be at the four extremities of the human body, that is, the four limbs.

From the five organs corresponding to the five elements, and then to tempering one's own four extremities, in Lin Feng's view, this had a major role in future battles and the use of soul skills. The Soul Veins themselves were constantly strengthening one's own physical fitness. With Soul Veins in the four limbs, just relying on pure strength would probably be enough to beat someone to death. A single swing of an arm with a hundred thousand jin of force would not be a dream.

Adding on the Soul Veins' subtle influence on the laws and the amplification of soul skill changes, in Lin Feng's vision, at that time, a casual movement of his would be a soul skill. In a battle, his soul skills would not even be repeated. A close-combat mage pro-max version, with tankiness, attack power, self-healing, and the number of skills being a question mark.

It was hard to imagine the shadow in the enemy's heart. They would probably just become autistic.

Lin Feng's heart was a sheet of tranquility. He sat cross-legged, the surrounding energy surging like the waves of the sea. He took a deep breath, mobilized all the soul power and "Qi" in his body, and began to condense his first Soul Vein.

On his left arm, a powerful energy began to gather, as if a giant dragon were swimming inside his arm. Lin Feng could clearly feel the power and activity of this energy. It continuously impacted the meridians of his left arm, trying to find a breakthrough point.

This time, he did not use the Innate Treasure Pearl. Relying on his own spiritual power's regulation, he directly began to shape this violent energy towards a Soul Vein.

He was calm and unperturbed, silently guiding this energy. Finally, with a roar, the Soul Vein on his left arm was completely condensed successfully. A powerful force burst out from Lin Feng's left arm, making the surrounding space tremble for it.

"Finally succeeded," Lin Feng let out a turbid breath and slowly stood up. His own body seemed to have become closer to the laws of the universe. With every move, he could stir the primordial qi of heaven and earth.

His soul power had broken through to level 62, and the strength of his first five Soul Veins was already at the ten-thousand-year level.

Gu Yuena looked at him quietly. "In these few days, you've been busy practicing the shaping of soul rings. Have you forgotten something?"

Lin Feng was stunned, then reacted, sending the "Qi" in his body into Gu Yuena's wound.

Gu Yuena shook her head. "Wrong. You deserve to be punished."

She stretched out her fair hand, and with a pinch in Lin Feng's direction, his body was instantly imprisoned between her two palms. The two were extremely close. Gu Yuena blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes brushing across Lin Feng's face. Her sandalwood mouth opened slightly. "I'm hungry."

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. As expected of the Silver Dragon King.

"Alright."

Lin Feng proactively wrapped his arms around Gu Yuena's waist. The thing that was even more aphrodisiac than whale gel quickly circulated between the two of them.

"Mmm—" Gu Yuena smiled wantonly, for the first time releasing the restraint on Lin Feng's hands.

She let him wander between her two peaks.

A long time later, Gu Yuena released the gasping Lin Feng, a trace of an unknown meaning in her eyes. "That's all for today. See you tomorrow?"

"Mmm, cough, see you tomorrow."

Lin Feng gave Gu Yuena a hug, then walked into the spatial rift and returned to the shore of the Lake of Life.

At the same time he appeared on the shore, a delicate body was in his arms. Ah Yin hugged him tightly. "Why were you gone for so long?"

Lin Feng gently patted Ah Yin's back and said softly, "The condensation of the Soul Vein this time was a bit special, so it delayed some time. But, am I not back now?"

Ah Yin raised her head, her eyes sparkling with concern. "Then are you injured? Did the Master make things difficult for you?"

Difficult? In a sense, it was indeed a bit difficult.

"Don't worry. She helped me a lot."

Ah Yin broke away from Lin Feng's embrace, a trace of gravity in her eyes. Just now when they were in contact, she had actually smelled the scent of the Master on Xiao Feng. Very not right!

She took Lin Feng's hand and walked towards the wooden house. Along the way, she glanced sideways, carefully observing every detail on Lin Feng's body, trying to find some clues. Finally, her gaze paused for a moment by Lin Feng's ear.

Although it was not obvious, Ah Yin always felt that by his earlobe was a tooth mark? No way...

This night, Ah Yin tossed and turned. Her own master, if she came to compete with them, then what were they playing at? For this one week's time, how could they have been studying all the time? Poor Xiao Feng. Even after he came back, he didn't tell me. The Master must have been tormenting him.

I've heard that those with high status and strength all have some strange quirks. Maybe Xiao Feng is being tormented by her, treated as a toy...

Ah Yin shook her head. No, I can't think like that. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. What kind of interaction could the Master have with Xiao Feng? But what was this unease in her heart?

I really want to eat Xiao Feng up quickly. I'm so afraid someone will get there first... No, I can't. Xue'er and Ling Yuan will blame me. Thinking this, Ah Yin fell into a state of conflict and sank into a deep sleep.

And Lin Feng, who had not yet rested, wrote two notes in his notebook.
