Chapter 118: Seven-ringed Spirit Saint, Mastery of the Time Element

I forgot to tell, Brother Zhongzi is (System)

"Ah???"

Li Yu was stunned as he looked at the prompt that flashed before him.

No way, guys!

Where's the Life Origin Pearl that originally belonged to someone else?

You just directly turned it into a soul bone like that?

And it even looked like a pretty high-quality external soul bone!

Well then…

Li Yu accepted reality.

He had initially planned to probe it a bit and then directly refine it using the [Spirit Ornament].

Given the elemental power contained within that Life Origin Pearl, absorbing it would undoubtedly bring a significant enhancement.

But now—

When he truly confirmed that he had gained control over the time element—

And recalling those hateful gacha experiences from his previous life—

This so-called twenty-five percent chance could actually be close to zero.

[Dark Demon Spirit Guardian]!The group wasn't quite organized, but it indeed granted Li Yu a soul bone.

"Time!"

So naturally, he was nervous.

[Years Freely Allocated: 31,000]

His gaze then fell on that slightly strange pitch-black soul ring.

[Spirit Schedule: 5/10]

Moreover, how could a single soul beast possibly produce two soul bones...

Evil, Darkness, Wind, Time.

Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu knew the background of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Li Yu was curious and instinctively pressed the button...

It was almost like a joke.

Now...

Neither of them had the mind to care about how the soul rings changed from "three purple and one black" to "three black and one red."

Fission, recombination...

So for him, the seventh soul ring had essentially become a one-in-four "gamble."

Soul bone...

There wasn't any elemental spirit, but an ancient-looking pocket watch appeared in Li Yu's hand.

[Level: 73]

At this moment, Li Yu didn't bother explaining anything.

What was different was that Li Yu could already sense a unique bond between himself and that pearl.

Just what were Li Yu actions really aiming for?

Time Element Control – Time Affinity +100%

Whoosh whoosh~

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu saw Li Yu beginning to absorb the soul ring, so despite having countless questions, they held them back and silently guarded him.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred...

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament—Li Yu was definitely going to participate!

They were growing ever more curious about Li Yu.

Seven soul rings glowing, and spirit power bursting at level 73.

His focus had already shifted to the new element control he'd gained, and the transformation upon becoming a Soul Saint...

But.

Among the four options, time was naturally the one that suited him best.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Li Yu.

But when hearing Zhu Zhuqing say that his soul power had increased this quickly because of Li Yu, she grew confused again.

One soul ring after another rose beneath Li Yu's feet. Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu pupils contracted again.

On the pocket watch was a button.

But the description of [Dark Demon Spirit Guardian] seemed to negate that possibility.

Regardless of the ring's color or the new elemental powers he could control, they were just what he'd hoped for.

Absorb the soul ring!

Or perhaps—just maybe—Tang San didn't experience the same transformation because he didn't have Li Yu's... fortuitous encounter!

He could feel something odd inside the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse!

[Seventh Soul Ring]100,000 years

Li Yu was such a strange person.

But thinking that the [Dark Demon Spirit Guardian] was modified by Brother Zhongzi, Li Yu was at ease and began absorbing the soul ring.

He had assumed that the Evil attribute didn't count as an elemental power.

And now that he'd become a Soul Saint?

…

He was about to reach the Soul Saint stage already?

Thus—

Within that darkness, white specks began to spread.

Xiao Wu's mind was racing, but she couldn't come up with a single answer.

To be honest, among the six attributes on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he had only mastered two: Space and Thunder.

It was as if it were a part of him.

This didn't appear in the original storyline!

Impatiently, he channeled soul power infused with the time element into the [Elemental Cube].

Before becoming a Soul Saint, Li Yu could already fight a Titled Douluo!

Black! Black! Black! Red! Red! Silver-gray! Translucent white!

In the blink of an eye, white spots overwhelmed the darkness and quickly turned crystal clear.

The scheduled task had progressed once again.

In fact—

Li Yu wasn't even aware that he was already looking forward to the changes he'd experience after absorbing this soul ring and advancing to Soul Saint.

At the same time—

She had higher expectations now for Li Yu's power after absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring.

This was not like the soul ring Tang San acquired in the original story.

The freely allocated years allowed the originally 70,000-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring to be directly enhanced to a 100,000-year level.

With a glance at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu approaching, Li Yu didn't immediately summon the Dark Demon Spirit.

They were both full of shock.

[Soul Ring]——

The Life Origin Pearl had been directly transformed into an external soul bone under Brother Zhongzi modification...

In front of the two oddly colored soul rings—

Or maybe it was purely due to his martial soul.

And only now did the two girls realize it!

At the same time—

That pitch-black soul ring contained traces of other faint colors.

The Evil attribute had not been suppressed by the 'Elemental Spirit Domain'.

And the aura it radiated was incomparably powerful—perhaps no less than that of a 100,000-year soul ring!

Especially considering Li Yu's age, and the establishment of Qianyu Academy, the two girls wore incredibly complex expressions.

It didn't even feel like a product of this era.

Naturally, he was thrilled.

Li Yu absorbed the soul ring!

They watched as that eerie, pitch-black soul ring now "nested" around Li Yu and completely merged with him.

Its appearance didn't change much—still pitch-black overall, radiating cyan and blue light.

He slowly investigated. After all, everything was within his domain—no need to rush.

And...

The process was extremely fast—unprecedentedly so.

He didn't wait for Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu to ask questions; his spirit had already touched upon the pitch-black soul ring birthed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

As things stood—

It wasn't pure!

By that time, everyone would likely be stunned, and this Soul Master Tournament could become an unmatched classic in history!

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu eyes narrowed as they looked toward Li Yu.

Time passed amidst their chaotic thoughts, and by the time Li Yu finished absorbing the soul ring, she finally came back to her senses.

Inside the pocket watch, there were no time markings—only two motionless hands, one long and one short.

That was most likely a soul bone!

Li Yu was extremely delighted.

And upon learning that Zhu Zhuqing also had the "Gate of Life" implanted in her, she had originally felt sorrow.

But now, whether it was the first five soul rings—'three black and two red'—or reaching spirit power level 73 immediately after breakthrough, none of it seemed so extraordinary anymore.

[Years Freely Allocated: 1,000]

Still, with a twenty-five percent chance, the hope wasn't that high.

The originally pitch-black soul ring had now become crystal clear and white!

It was as if he had no set stance. Even knowing she was a soul beast in human form and had once threatened her with "I want you dead," Li Yu had never truly shown her any hostility since.
