Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

The next moment, golden light flashed in Mu Yang's eyes, and an intangible, formless mental force surged forth, descending into the consciousness sea of the Ten-Thousand-Year Repelling Golden Bamboo.

In just an instant, the clash of mental forces occurred. Unable to resist Mu Yang on the spiritual level, the Ten-Thousand-Year Repelling Golden Bamboo's consciousness was dragged into a white, misty, unknown space.

Following this, several golden chains broke through the air, binding the bamboo in an 'I' shape, suspended in the white misty space.

Then, a radiant golden light flashed, and a dignified figure enveloped in purple lightning appeared in the sky, holding a small purple triangular flag.

"Failing to bow to me, your fate is sealed. I declare you guilty, and you shall be punished with the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"

As Mu Yang, transformed into the Thunder God, finished his declaration, the small triangular purple flag in his hand waved. Within the True Illusion, winds howled, clouds gathered, and lightning filled the air.

The Repelling Golden Bamboo: !!!

If it could speak human language, given it had just crossed the Ten-Thousand-Year mark, the True Illusion would undoubtedly echo with a flurry of expletive-filled protests.

"Boom—"

A deafening thunderclap rang out, and a purple lightning bolt, thick as a water barrel, descended with overwhelming divine might.

"Zzz—"

As the tribulation lightning struck, the area where the Repelling Golden Bamboo was located immediately turned into a small sea of lightning. Lightning surged, and its tall, golden-purple body trembled violently, becoming faintly transparent.

Within the True Illusion, both Mu Yang and the Repelling Golden Bamboo were soul consciousness entities rather than physical bodies.

Moreover, even though real attacks within the True Illusion were spiritual in nature and different from the physical and energy-based attacks of reality, unless there was an instantaneous kill, there wouldn't be any physical fragmentation.

However, when real attacks struck, the soul consciousness entity would grow more transparent. If subjected to excessive attacks, it would eventually fade away completely, signifying the annihilation of its soul.

Of course, the Thunder God transformation and the summoning of the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation were merely Mu Yang's dramatic flair. Despite the grand display, the actual attack strength wasn't extraordinarily high—it essentially manifested as spiritual shock disguised as tribulation lightning.

"Boom—" "Boom—" "Boom—"

The thunder rolled incessantly, echoing loudly.

Unable to withstand even a fraction of the 81 strikes of tribulation lightning, the Repelling Golden Bamboo's soul consciousness entity grew exceedingly faint after enduring just ten bolts. When the eleventh bolt descended, it completely dissipated within the True Illusion.

Simultaneously, in the outside world, the Evil-Banishing Golden Bamboo's soul was obliterated, and its massive body began to emit dense golden light particles.

Countless golden particles danced in the air before gradually condensing into a black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"Gasp—"

Seeing this, Shui Yanyu, who stood beside Mu Yang, couldn't help but inhale sharply, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at him.

Although her Soul Power suppression had rendered the Ten-Thousand-Year Evil-Banishing Golden Bamboo essentially powerless, Mu Yang had used spiritual methods to kill it. Her Soul Power suppression couldn't aid him on the mental level.

This meant that even without her presence, Mu Yang could have defeated the Ten-Thousand-Year Repelling Golden Bamboo.

If someone had told her a Rank-30 quasi-Soul Elder could single-handedly hunt a Ten-Thousand-Year soul beast, Shui Yanyu wouldn't have believed it. The power disparity was simply too great.

While a Ten-Thousand-Year soul beast's level might correspond to that of a Five-Ring Soul King, typical Five-Ring Soul Kings couldn't defeat it, much less a Rank-30 quasi-Soul Elder.

But the undeniable reality unfolded before her eyes.

The appearance of the Soul Ring proved that the Ten-Thousand-Year Repelling Golden Bamboo was truly dead.

No wonder Mu Yang was confident in attaching a Ten-Thousand-Year Third Soul Ring. This feat alone demonstrated his extraordinary spiritual prowess.

Gazing at the Soul Ring emitted by the Ten-Thousand-Year Repelling Golden Bamboo, Mu Yang nodded in satisfaction. With a flash of Soul Power, he released his Ice Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul.

Guided by the Martial Soul, the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring slowly floated toward Mu Yang.

Soon, the Soul Ring reached above Mu Yang's head, shrinking quickly before transforming into a black ring about the size of a bowl, attaching itself to the Ice Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul in his right palm.

At that moment, Mu Yang felt a surging wave of Soul Ring energy flowing madly into his body through the Ice Fire Jade Immortal Ginseng Martial Soul.

Without hesitation, Mu Yang immediately activated the Ice Flame Meditation Technique, transforming the Soul Ring's energy into Ice and Fire fusion attribute Soul Power.

Meanwhile, Shui Yanyu glanced at the corpse of the Ten-Thousand-Year Evil-Banishing Golden Bamboo and, noticing no Soul Bone had emerged, picked up the meditating Mu Yang. Her Ice Sparrow wings spread wide, carrying them out of the bamboo forest and back to the mountain cliff above.

With the "Bamboo King" slain, the other Repelling Golden Bamboos in the forest remained inert. They weren't indifferent but were completely suppressed by Shui Yanyu's Soul Power, unable to move a muscle.

Since Mu Yang couldn't complete his breakthrough quickly, it wasn't suitable for him to stay in the bamboo forest while refining his Soul Ring.

Time passed swiftly. The sun set, and the moon rose, and before long, it was midnight.

On the mountain cliff, Mu Yang opened his eyes after refining the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and successfully advancing to become a Rank-30 Soul Elder. His body had also developed further.

"Rank-33?"

Feeling the qualitative change in his Soul Power, Mu Yang raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

It was unexpected yet reasonable. The Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, which had just surpassed ten thousand years, increased his Soul Power by three ranks.

Interestingly, during the refinement of the Soul Ring, Mu Yang encountered no remnant soul thought typically present in Soul Rings of Ten-Thousand-Year or higher levels.

It made sense—the Repelling Golden Bamboo had been killed through spiritual annihilation. With its soul obliterated, there was no remnant thought left to form.

Even if remnant thoughts had lingered, Mu Yang wouldn't have feared them. He had destroyed the creature's complete soul, so why would he worry about remnants?

Glancing at the newly-formed Ten-Thousand-Year Third Soul Ring, Mu Yang's gaze fell on his Ice and Fire Jade Ginseng Martial Soul.

After attaching the Third Soul Ring, his Martial Soul underwent subtle changes.

The ginseng leaves remained one red and one blue, and the ginseng body still seemed jade-like. However, beneath the red and orange rings, a new yellow ring appeared.

"Is it really following the sequence of rainbow colors?"

Mu Yang mused inwardly.

What color would come after red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple?

"Mu Yang, stand up and take a look."

At this moment, Shui Bing'er, seeing that Mu Yang had completed his breakthrough, walked up and said.

"What's the matter?"

Retracting his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, Mu Yang stood up and asked.

Without saying anything, Shui Bing'er pulled Mu Yang and compared their heights.

Placing her hand at the top of his head and moving it level to herself, she found it had reached her brow. Satisfied, she nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. Mu Yang, you're about 165 cm tall now. By next year, we should be the same height."

That is, when she wore high heels.

In the original novel, Shui Bing'er's height was about 165 cm, and given her age, there wasn't much room for growth.

To be honest, a height of 165 cm was somewhat short for a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, even for a girl.

Take a certain transformed rabbit, for example—her physical age was twelve, yet she already stood at 170 cm.

But that was the original story. Shui Bing'er now wasn't short.

With the all-around enhancement from Yearning Heartbroken Red and Mu Yang's constant supervision of her diet, 14-year-old Shui Bing'er had already reached a height of 165 cm.

Of course, since girls matured earlier, her attached Soul Rings also boosted her development. This preempted some of her potential, so her future maximum height wouldn't be shocking. However, her height would definitely exceed 170 cm.

A height above 170 cm, combined with shoes, would be more than sufficient.

"Growing taller is good. My growth means we're getting closer to the time when we can truly be together."

Wrapping his arms around the girl's waist, Mu Yang whispered in her ear.

Hearing this, Shui Bing'er blushed and lowered her head shyly.

"Hey~ You two are enough! Can't you consider my feelings?"

Seeing the pair showing affection as if no one else were around, Shui Yanyu couldn't help but complain.

The headmistress of Sky Water Academy, Shui Yanyu, was a single, unmarried woman.

Interestingly, compared to female graduates from other advanced Soul Master academies, Sky Water Academy's graduates had a higher likelihood of remaining single.

The main reason for this phenomenon was Sky Water Academy's policy of only admitting female students.

Being admitted to Sky Water Academy meant having at least decent talent. By graduation, their age was generally no less than 20.

Male peers of similar age with good talent already had girlfriends, while those with poor talent weren't appealing to them. Picky choices often led to missed opportunities, leaving them single.

"Well, Aunt, you could find someone for us to call Uncle."

Shui Bing'er earnestly suggested.

Shui Yanyu: "..."

How hurtful! My darling niece has become less adorable!

"Cough cough~ Xiao Yang, release your third soul skill and let me see."

To ease the awkwardness, Shui Yanyu cleared her throat and changed the subject.

Nodding slightly, Mu Yang released his Ice Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng martial soul again.

"Essence of heaven and earth, Yellow Jade!"

Chanting the soul incantation, Mu Yang's third soul ring, a ten thousand-year ring, shone brightly. As his soul power surged, a three-inch-long soul power ginseng, seemingly carved from yellow jade, materialized.

Third soul skill, Yellow Jade Detox Ginseng, when consumed, can eliminate abnormal states, including poisoning. It is effective for ten days after being made.

It must be said that the ten-day shelf life of the Yellow Jade Detox Ginseng alone proves that a ten thousand-year soul skill is incomparable to a hundred-year or thousand-year soul skill.

After all, the hundred-year Red Jade Revival Ginseng only lasts for three days, and the thousand-year Orange Jade Blood-boosting Ginseng is only effective for five days.
