Lord of Souls

Space ring.

A shiny space ring.

At this moment, Xia Lin's eyes curved into the shape of a money obsessed person.

Liesha's space ring, Xiao Hua's space ring, the other four city-states and five legendary space rings, and even some king-level soul masters also have space rings.

Like a little girl picking mushrooms...

Not long after, Xia Lin picked up an arm full of "mushrooms".

Look around again.

Tian Qingqing was still sobbing with her head down, showing her weakness.

In addition, the corpses of legendary soul beasts all over the ground also made Xia Lin breathless - because to him, these were treasures!

"hope!"

With a loud shout from his mouth, Hope ran to Xia Lin's side with a small step.

Xia Lin raised his hand and pointed at the corpse of the legendary soul beast: "The corpse has no blood, can you still eat it?"

"Wuwu (no problem)~~"

Devourers are never picky eaters.

He ran to the corpse of the Ancient Brontosaurus in a hurry, hoping to open his mouthparts and start eating.

[Devourer (passive ability) (Proficiency: Perfect): All food will turn into my power! The Devourer has a huge appetite and can devour any living thing, some non-living energy, flesh and blood, and even everything! When the Devourer eats, it will recover its injuries, physical strength, energy reserves, etc. very quickly! When the Devourer eats the flesh of high-level creatures, it will store evolutionary energy! Once the stored evolutionary energy reaches the peak, the Devourer will evolve according to the dominant attributes of the stored energy into: Flame Devourer (mid-level king level), Ice Devourer (medium-level king level), Storm...Thunder...Earth ...The Devourer of All Things (low legendary level), the Devourer of Worlds (mid legendary level). 】

Xia Lin never thought that one day he would be able to use the Devourer's ability as he owned the Soul Palace.

But looking at Hope's devouring food, Xia Lin couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Eat everything and don't let go of all the resources to grow and become stronger.

Hope, the most diligent and thrifty person...

Suddenly there was a sound, coming from the border of Gulong Mountain Range.

Xia Lin turned to look at the source of the sound.

Then he saw fifteen young men emerging from the forest with confused faces.

They looked at the completely destroyed Ancestral Dragon City, and then looked at Xia Lin, who was holding a pocket full of space rings.

For a time, various expressions such as fear, despair, greed, and coldness appeared on the faces of these teenagers.

This made Xia Lin sigh softly.

"Senior, senior? Someone wants to steal our baby!"

Tian Qingqing remained silent, her whole body seemed to be numb...

This made Xia Lin curl her lips.

"That's offending."

Walking to Tian Qingqing's side, a blow of the hand knife made Tian Qingqing fall into a deep dream. Then looking at the competition team of Gulong City State in front, Xia Lin narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Get out of here now, I can really pretend that I didn't see anything."

However, money and silk can move people's hearts.

The piles of space rings in Xia Lin's arms were the best reason to kill.

Gold and silver soul lights flashed past.

Xia Lin shook his head slightly, but slowly closed his eyes.

…

My thoughts wandered to the Soul Palace.

Sitting on the soul master's throne, Xia Lin was not in a hurry to deal with the external problems. Instead, he carefully touched the space ring in his hand.

The casting principle of space rings has been mentioned before.

It is nothing more than a tiny secret realm created by a king-level soul master using powerful power and special materials.

Space rings come in different sizes.

But the characteristics are almost the same - that is, with the death of the owner, the space ring will become ownerless, any soul master can open it, and any soul master can take the internal resources.

What is worth mentioning is that almost any soul master who owns a space ring will put most of his wealth in the space ring - there is no safer safe than this.

Open the space ring of a king-level soul master.

A large number of soul crystals and spiritual material resources fell into view.

Pour the things out and summon Jue, Bubai, Qingmang...

Qingmang and Bubai stared wide-eyed, as if they didn't quite understand the concept of "property".

Therefore, only Xia Lin and Jue were left to take stock of their harvest.

Soul crystals and low-level spiritual objects are put aside.

Jue picked up a dark stone and said with a smile: "King-level spiritual object, Jiang Chenshi."

There is only this kind of king-level spiritual object in this space ring.

Then open other space rings.

More supplies came into view.

…

Inventory is ongoing.

Open the space ring left by the king first.

Open the legendary space ring again.

Divide everything into two, one part is his own, and the other part is Tian Qingqing's - Xia Lin is indeed suspected of taking advantage, but whoever sees it has his own share, I think Tian Qingqing and Bai Tianyu probably won't mind this...

Xia Lin's share was placed in a space ring with the largest space.

A large number of soul crystals and low-level spiritual objects.

And three legendary spiritual objects!

Crystal of the moon!

Void Golden Lotus!

And the Essence Fire Sun Stone!

There are thirteen types of king-level spiritual creatures!

Jiangchen stone, thunder apricot fruit, yellow bud tree twigs, flame jujube...

For a moment, the space ring filled with colorful treasures soared into the sky!

"Upgrade! Must upgrade!!"

If you have resources, you have to use them, otherwise it will be like these legends of kings. People die and the money is not spent. How frustrating?

——Of course, Xia Lin's growth method is different from others. For ordinary people, spiritual resources are not easy to use. They need special means to process and match attributes in order to become a soul master or soul pet.

Xia Lin didn't use this method, he just went to the Soul Palace and was done.

Come to the stone monument.

Thinking of the fifteen competing members of the Ancient Dragon City State waiting for him outside, Xia Lin spoke.

"stable."

"Absolutely, stability is my first requirement."

"How do you think we can strengthen them so that we can defeat them steadily?"

Jue Feng Qingyun said calmly: "I don't need to strengthen, I can defeat them now."

It starts again...

Jue started to act this cool and indifferent again.

But Xia Lin likes it.

After thinking about it, Xia Lin decided to add a layer of insurance - if the problem can be solved easily, don't make it thrilling and make it scary for who to see?

[Current strength points: 1044.4w. 】

"Upgrade your strength. Diamond period!"

After Xia Lin finished speaking, his own light flashed from the stone tablet of strength!

The light fell on Xia Lin, and Xia Lin felt that her body was hot! There seemed to be a stream of heat rushing straight to my head, and it felt extremely warm and comfortable!

The soul light bloomed from the body involuntarily.

The golden soul light slowly turned into diamond light!

Spend money.

Become stronger.

Simple and crude!

In the blink of an eye, Xia Lin’s diamond phase has been achieved!

Consumes strength points, 500w.

The remaining strength points are 544.4w!

"Promote the second soul, Lord Black Death Sword, Jue, to the diamond stage!"

The light shines again.

The breath of Jue suddenly rose.

In just the blink of an eye, the upgrade has been completed!

Xia Lin and Jue, both diamonds!

Turning to look at Jue again, Xia Lin smiled and said, "I am really stable this time."

Jue shrugged and said nothing.

It was actually stable just now, but if you want to upgrade, just upgrade, your boss has the final say.

Then he saw Xia Lin lowering his head again and looking at the space ring he had just obtained.

"Then how should the remaining resources be used?"

All diamonds?

It's not impossible, but Xia Lin always feels that he actually has a better choice.

No more opinions will be given until the end.

"Declaration of undefeated victory."

Xia Lin was stunned and turned to look at Xiao Bubai, who was playing with Qingmang's tail.

Jue's smiling voice sounded again.

"Complete limit-breaking skills are actually very rare and have very high potential."

"Although the victory declaration is relatively weak now, the undefeated strength can't keep up with the pace. But things like skills will undergo transformation after reaching the level of superb proficiency. If Xia Lin, you don't have the idea of ​​changing your pet, I think Declare victory as soon as possible and raise your proficiency to a superb level, and you will definitely not lose money."

The words "changing pets" seemed to stimulate Bubai.

It turned to look at Xia Lin, with a hint of grievance and worry in its big eyes.

This made Xia Lin hugged Bubai with a smile.

"I have no idea of ​​changing my pet..."

With the Soul Palace in hand, I can train even a wasteland dog into a divine beast for you!

That's absolutely right.

Bubai's current strength is indeed a bit of a hindrance - during the battle with Gu Yunfeng, Bubai had already shown signs of decline against soul pets in their prime period, and Xia Lin has not had much time to achieve Bubai's victory. declare.

Jue's words at this moment gave Xia Lin a goal.

He came to the skill stone tablet with Bubai in his arms.

[Current skill points: 63w. 】

These points cannot increase the proficiency of the holy skill of Declaration of Victory.

"So, spend the money."

He spent his own resources in the Soul Palace... This was his first experience...

…

"Ascend, declare victory, mastery - perfection!"

[Spend 5 million skill points. 】

expensive,

Too expensive!

But the money must be spent.

250 high-level soul crystals were put into the skill stone tablet and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

——The soul master will not get any points refund for using resources to improve, but the consumption will be halved. If you exchange points with spiritual objects at the stone tablet, you will get the full amount of points returned.

Victory declared, skillful-perfect, done!

The victory of perfect proficiency is declared, and the skill description has not changed, which is natural.

Skill proficiency, entry-to-perfection, will not change the effect of the skill, the difference is only in the strength of the skill effect.

But as Jue said.

Skills with superb proficiency will inevitably lead to qualitative changes.

"Ascension, victory declared, perfection - sublime!"

No resources were invested in advance. As a soul master, Xia Lin had the authority to know in advance the resources needed for promotion.

The majestic mechanical sound of the Soul Palace gave Xia Lin the answer.

[Holy level skill proficiency upgrade. Perfect - superb. 】

[Skill points consumed: 1000w, original rule points: 3! 】

The consumption is very high!

The consumption of points alone can allow Xia Lin to upgrade Hope and Qingmang to the diamond stage!

Hesitantly, he turned to look at Jue, and saw Jue's calm expression, and nodded slightly.

"It won't be a loss."

This made Xia Lin sigh.

Take out Jiang Chenshi and put it into the [Skill Tablet].

As soon as the hard Jiangchen Stone submerged into the stone monument, it was immediately crushed by the power of the gray mist inside the stone monument!

A large amount of energy emerged from Jiang Chenshi, and the soul power was purified again! Even more colorful brilliance flashed away!

[Skill points obtained: 50w. 】

[Original rule points obtained: 3.8! 】

(The Soul Palace has not drawn any commission)

Xia Lin frowned.

"The points given are too few."

Originally it was just a complaint, but I didn't expect Soul Palace to actually respond.

[Extracting the power of the original rules consumes a lot of money. The third level of spiritual objects can only produce a small amount of ordinary points. 】

Therefore, when Senior Tian Qingqing raises the Extremely Strong White Phoenix, she needs additional Flower Soul Crystals.

The main reason is that the third-level spiritual objects only provide original rule points instead of ordinary points.

There is a difference in logic.

Xia Lin nodded slightly and didn't care.

[Current skill points: 113w. 】

[Original rule points: 4.1. 】

After investing a large amount of soul crystals, the upgrade conditions are met.

In this way, victory is declared, perfect - superb, upgrade successful!

…

The moment when the faintly colorful light shrouded Bubai's body.

Bubai was suddenly shocked.

The weird seven-colored light flowed from Bubai's eyes for a moment before dissipating.

Bubai jumped out of Xia Lin's arms and stood on the ground waving his fists and feet.

But its power has not actually changed...

This left Bubai at a loss.

Because it can detect that something in its body has changed faintly, but it cannot find the source of the change.

It was Xia Lin who opened the undefeated message.

After seeing the explanation of victory declaration (passive ability) (superb), Xia Lin slowly widened his eyes!

…

[Victory Declaration (Passive Ability) (Superb): Victory is my only pursuit! Those who possess this skill will gain a certain level of physical fitness after defeating powerful enemies! 】

[Note: Physical fitness is different from race level and strength level. Victory declaration will not directly improve the host’s race level and strength level, but will improve the host’s strength, agility, physical strength, injury recovery speed, etc.! 】

[Note: Only by defeating an enemy stronger than yourself can your physical fitness be improved. 】

[Note: The evaluation criteria for enemies that are stronger than oneself are: the race level or strength level is higher than the opponent of the host. If any one of the criteria is met, it will be deemed as "stronger than oneself". 】

[Note: The host can only gain one promotion from an enemy, and repeated defeats will be invalid. 】

[Note: There is no limit to the increase in victory declaration! 】

Change, only one sentence.

But just because of this sentence, the logic of the entire skill has changed its nature!

The new evaluation standard is no longer based on true combat power, but on racial level or strength level as the criterion!

As long as either strength level or race level is stronger than Invincible, it will be considered a strong enemy in the judgment criteria of skills! !

Such a change is nothing short of earth-shaking!

Because Invincible is just a low-level transformation level, a "junk soul pet" in the probationary period...

Xia Lin was confused when he heard Jue's voice ringing in his ears.

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

good?

"Of course not bad!"

A soul beast above the low transformation level? A soul beast above the apprenticeship period? Isn’t that a big handful? ?

Suddenly, Xia Lin recalled Tian Tianyu's power just now.

An inexplicable feeling emerged from the bottom of my heart.

"Jue?"

"Um."

"I always feel that the increase in combat power brought by later skills is far greater than race level or strength level?"

"Of course."

Jue nodded directly, confirming Xia Lin's guess.

After thinking about it, it smiled and said: "In fact, the Soul Palace has given you the answer to this logic."

An undefeated declaration of victory, a holy level skill.

The proficiency ranges from perfect to superb, and you can cultivate two diamond-level soul pets at a cost.

And the Soul Palace has always had a principle - to pay in return and to exchange of equal value.

In the Soul Palace's judging criteria, skills are the bulk of the cost, which also means that skills have a greater impact on the later stage than race and strength!

Bai Tianyu's Blood God is an excellent portrayal.

Even if his strength is low, his magical skills are enough to change everything and influence everything!

Xia Lin scratched his head: "So in the future, contracted soul pets will not only look at the race level, but also the skills and moves... But Jue, didn't you say that the skills and moves of the same race are almost the same for non-different species? "

To Xia Lin, a novice's question, Jue responded softly: "That's why soul masters are needed..."

"Aren't the soul-splitting and soul-melting skills you learned the soul master's skills that can bring new skills to your soul pets?"

Xia Lin understood instantly.

The soul beast is the foundation.

After two soul masters contracted the same kind of soul beast, the foundation of the soul beast was almost identical.

However, depending on the subsequent training plans and opportunities, the development paths of the two soul beasts will be completely different.

The soul master's own resources determine the soul beast's growth rate and upper limit. A powerful soul master can find better resources and better abilities for his soul pet. The soul pet will naturally be stronger and his moves will be more terrifying.

Jue said with emotion: "So, the relationship between the soul master and the soul pet is like this. The soul master dominates everything, and the soul pet is the soul master's armor and blade. The stronger the soul pet is, the stronger the soul master will be, and the stronger the soul master, This will enable the soul pet to be better cultivated and achieve better development."

"And the ability of a soul master depends on resources on the one hand - for example, people with good family backgrounds will grow faster than people with bad family backgrounds. This needs no further discussion."

"On the one hand, look at opportunities. There are many secret places in the soul world. If you are not afraid of death and try it, you will always gain something. This is a good way to change your life."

"On the one hand, it depends on talent. The chosen ones are superior to ordinary soul masters. In addition, talent also determines the soul master's meditation speed. Soul masters with better talent will practice faster under the same resource conditions. The faster you go, the easier it is to advance.”

"For example, Yongxuan, just one month after he became a soul master, he was upgraded to the bronze stage. On the one hand, he is talented, but on the other hand, his family's resources are sufficient."

"Another example is the competitors from Gulong City State that we will face soon."

"I guess their talents should be better than Yongxuan... Because the rules of the two worlds are different, the soul masters here are more talented than the soul masters of Blue Star. It is also easier for them to obtain resources. And because the two worlds have different rules, the soul masters here are more talented than the soul masters of Blue Star. The rules of the worlds are different, even if there are soul masters with the same talent, if one is practicing in the soul world and the other is practicing in the Blue Star, there will be a huge difference in the speed of cultivation."

"That's why Blue Star isn't very popular here...it's too barren and has no use except for its strategic value."

"That's why the soul masters here of the same age can even upgrade faster than the two believers Anton and Tian Qingqing. They have high talents, many resources, and the soul world is more suitable for cultivation. In the early stage, these conditions are indeed It can make up for the advantages of the Soul Palace. But in the later stages, such as starting from the golden period, it cannot compare with the Soul Palace."

Jue talked a lot, and Xia Lin nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it.

Then he turned to look at the stone tablet.

"There are still resources, Jue, can you give me another suggestion? Should I increase my level, my race, or my skills?"

Jue was silent for a moment and said softly: "I have a request."

Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

There was no need to speak again, Xia Lin had already said loudly.

"Upgrade, second soul, diamond stage, Black Death Sword Lord, unique skills. Reincarnation of life and death!"

After the voice fell, Jue suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Lin.

For a moment, it slowly lowered its head and made an imperceptible murmur.

"Thanks……"

…

Saint-level skills, the cycle of life and death.

Proficiency, mastery-mastery, 20w.

Proficient-skilled, 1 million.

Skillful - perfect, 500w!

And when the skill proficiency reaches perfection, the conditions for Jue's second reincarnation have been reduced to the median king level!

Xia Lin stopped.

It can't be upgraded any more. If you move up one level, Zetsu, who is a low-ranking king, will immediately start the cycle of life and death. Now that there are enemies outside, upgrading seems inappropriate.

When he opened his mouth, Xia Lin explained: "When it's safe, you can reincarnate directly."

Jue smiled and nodded, and his hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword.

Xia Lin, be righteous.

This soul master made the right choice.

Therefore, I definitely feel that it’s time for me to show off.

As for Xia Lin's wave, he still didn't feel any better.

Simply take stock of the resources on hand.

Legendary spiritual objects, three pieces.

King-level spiritual objects, twelve pieces.

Super soul crystals, 100 pieces - obtained from the legendary space ring.

There are thousands of high-level soul crystals left.

There are relatively few low-level soul crystals and low-level spiritual objects. Masters with space rings don't care much about these low-level things.

13 free space rings - if you sell these, you will definitely get a lot of money.

And these are just Xia Lin's part and Tian Qingqing's part. Xia Lin is not prepared to be greedy and cannot be greedy...

Tian Tianyu is just gone, not dead. If he knew that Xia Lin was fooling Tian Qingqing here, Xia Lin would be in trouble.

Anyway, Xia Lin is still a little afraid of Lao Bai.

After severing relations with the Hua Kingdom, Bai Tianyu massacred the city just as he said, his ruthlessness was unmistakable.

If he knew that he dared to bully Tian Qingqing...it's hard to say what would happen.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore...add more, add more!"

The resources at hand are too abundant.

Xia Lin didn't take action, I'm really sorry for myself.

But in a moment.

There is a strange feeling flowing into the heart through the Soul Palace.

Xia Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the sculpture behind the Soul Lord's throne.

It can be seen that [Soul Believer: 6/10] changes slowly.

Becomes, [Soul Believer: 5/10].

"A believer died..."

The feedback from the statue made Xia Lin silent for a moment and sighed softly.

"It's a ruffian."
