Mortal Epic of Douluo

The bright yellow soul ring floating in the air finally found its home. When Atreus pulled it to his martial soul, he pounced on it as if he had consciousness, and the soul power contained in it was like a sponge absorbing water.

The same flow poured into Atreus's body.

Spears and shields hung on both sides, greedily absorbing this soul power.

Suddenly, a blue starlight lit up from Atreus's chest and slowly rose to the top of his head. Oscar exclaimed in a low voice. He leaned closer to see the starlight clearly.

"Isn't this... the relic of Kratos' brother?" Oscar saw clearly that the starlight was the one that the restaurant owner who was beholden to Kratos gave to Atre before they left Borno.

That stone.

A stone engraved with a mountain peak and a strange ring pattern emitted bright starlight, enveloping Atreus in it, making it difficult for people to see his figure clearly.

The boys and girls were all surprised at the changes in Atreus. They all looked towards Ennid, but they saw Ennid stroking his beard and smiling, and they felt relieved.

As the person involved, Atreus felt that his thoughts had entered a strange world. He saw an extremely high mountain peak, a peak that could not be seen even from thousands of miles away.

He tried to control his thoughts and look for the top of the mountain, but he came directly to the foot of the mountain, and then entered the body of a soldier dressed very much like his brother Kratos.

This soldier didn't seem to be very talented, but he was somewhat similar to himself. There was a highly talented recruit of his own generation in his team, and they fought and trained with each other.

The soldier was knocked down time and time again, and was thrown on the stone surface countless times, but he stood up strong again and again. His unyielding tenacity made his companions look at him with admiration. The blood they shed on the training ground formed a

True brotherhood.

Later, for some unknown reason, they began to pack their luggage and climb the extremely high mountain above their heads.

In the face of a sudden snowstorm, they wrapped themselves in wool blankets and cuddled up to each other; in the face of vertical and towering cliffs, they used their thick shoulders to drag their companions to climb; in the face of the moody dragon, they used their wisdom and courage to avoid and tease.

After climbing for countless days and nights, climbing over countless boulders, and experiencing many dangers, they finally reached the top of the mountain.

But the soldier's companion had actually exhausted his life before reaching the peak. At the moment he climbed to the top, his life was like a candle in the wind, and finally disappeared with a slight shudder.

Finally, the soldier stood on the top of the mountain. He stared at the vast sky. He heard the wind whistling by his ears, felt the bodies of his companions behind him, and saw a dazzling star flying towards him.

The fluctuating soul power of the Star Lost Giant Scorpion's soul ring is not very powerful. Although Oscar measured it with a ruler and estimated that the Star Lost Giant Scorpion has reached the age of four hundred and ten years, the Star Lost Giant Scorpion is not that powerful.

As a soul beast, it stands to reason that the soul ring would be absorbed very quickly.

But Fraser and Liu Yan had already completed a meditation, and with Oscar's recovery sausage, all the previously consumed soul power was restored. They continued to observe for a long time, until after midnight, it was already long before Atreus began to absorb the soul ring.

Four hours passed, and Atreus still showed no sign of waking up.

The three boys and girls have all absorbed soul rings, witnessed and heard about others absorbing soul rings, but this was the first time they encountered such a situation. They were puzzled and looked at Ennid again.

Laennid said solemnly: "There are many reasons that affect the speed of soul ring absorption. The lower the quality of the soul ring, the less soul power contained in it, and the faster it is absorbed. With your current physical condition, you can absorb an ordinary soul ring."

The ten-year soul ring probably only takes more than ten minutes."

"In addition to its age, the quality of a soul ring is also related to the strength of the soul beast itself. For example, if there are two identical century-old soul rings, one is produced from the spotted bird spider and the other is produced from the human-faced demon spider, then naturally it is the latter.

The quality of the soul ring is higher, so it is more difficult to absorb. In addition..."

"What? Come on, Master Ennide, please stop showing off at this time!"

"Teacher, what else?"

Fraser and Oscar asked anxiously, but Ennide just shook his head and comforted: "Don't worry, all the signs on him are good. It may not be a bad thing if it takes longer to absorb. Okay,

Everyone, please rest, I will keep watch tonight, so you can have a good sleep."

Liu Yan was the calmest, he could also be happy, angry, and scared, but now that Ennid had spoken, he didn't think there was anything to worry about, so he just closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning against a tree trunk.

Oscar stayed by the fire and observed Atreus for a while. His eyelids gradually became unbearable. He walked to Liu Yan's side and fell asleep leaning against him.

Fraser kept his head down and said nothing, fiddling with the fire, seeming to be thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?"

Fraser's thoughts were awakened by Ennid's voice. She looked up and saw that the old man known for his wisdom was looking at her kindly. She turned her head to look at Atreus and murmured: "

I'm thinking...Come to Grandpa Ennide, why is it that he is so popular even though he is not very talented or handsome?"

Ennid smiled softly and said, "Who does he like? You?"

"Me? How is it possible! Who said I liked him?" As if he realized that his reaction was a bit fierce, and at the same time was afraid of waking up Oscar and Liu Yan, Fraser softened slightly and said in a positive tone:

"I don't like him, I just want him to be my knight. You have watched me grow up, and you should know that although I am the Earl of Frazeia, I don't have a knight of my own."

"Your mother must have told you many stories about knights, but she should also have told you that real knights are not so easy to find." Ennid added to the fire little by little.

Firewood, make this night warmer.

"I know, mother said, real knights need to use their sincerity in exchange for their loyalty." Frazier caressed the rose ring in his hand and sighed, "But how can I make him feel my sincerity?"

Woolen cloth?"

"Use your actions."

"action?"

"Yes, action." Ennid pointed at Atreus, who was absorbing the soul ring, "This little guy and Oscar are both from the Borno countryside in the north. He is an orphan, and Oscar's parents adopted him.

.In the land where they live, there is a count named Ogunode."

"Ogunode? I know that the people in their family are the most hypocritical. Moreover, their family was also involved in the incident seventeen years ago."

"That thing..." Ennide paused, and did not change the topic to 'that thing', but continued the previous topic:

"On January 1 last year, the king issued a decree based on the deliberations of the Parliament of Nobles. This decree caused Oscar's father to bear a fine that he should not have to bear. In order to raise the fine, his parents had no choice but to risk

Feng Xue went into the mountains to hunt and was attacked by a spirit beast..."

Enned said a lot, and Fraser seemed to understand something: "So what you are saying is that because I am a noble, he will not be willing to be my knight?"

But Ennide shook his head and asked: "There are so many noble students in the college, does he hate every one of them?"

Frazier thought for a while and shook his head, "It seems that some noble students who have not targeted him still behave normally."

"Then does he treat all the work-study students like friends?"

"No, he hates a few work-study students. He calls them lackeys of the nobility and is ashamed to associate with them."

"Hahahaha," Enned stroked his beard and smiled, "So, as long as he sincerely makes friends with him, he will treat him with courtesy. Frasier, there are some things that you can't understand at your current age.

But remember, the reason why your mother was able to make your father her knight and let your father risk his life to protect her is because——"

"From the beginning, your mother did not treat him as a pariah as your grandfather called him, but treated him as an equal to her, and treated him as a friend."

"Equality, friend..." This was not the first time Fraser heard these two words, but when they were spoken by Grandpa Ennid today, they seemed to be different from what she had understood in the past.
