Chapter 48 The Secret of the Soul Ring
After taking the Dahuan Pill and regulating her breathing for about an hour, Qian Renxue's injuries were completely healed.

The medicinal effect of Dahuan Dan is indeed well-deserved.

Afterwards, Qian Renxue, Bu Jinghong and She Long continued to move forward, trying to find a suitable soul beast.

Qian Renxue is now undercover in Tiandou, and it is not easy for her to find an excuse to come out.

But fortunately, Bu Jinghong had good luck. Not long after, a huge lion that looked like it was made of gold, more than three meters long, 1.7 meters tall at the shoulder, and with two exposed fangs like two sharp swords appeared in front of them!

"Well, this is... the Ten Thousand Year Old Golden Sword Lion Beast!"

The Golden Sword Lion Beast was a mutation of the ordinary thousand-year soul beast Sword Lion Beast. Its attribute was light.

As Qian Renxue's fifth soul ring, it is just right.

Without saying anything, She Long stepped forward and revealed his soul rings: two yellow, three purple, and four black.

Bu Jinghong couldn't help but twitch his lips when seeing this soul ring configuration.

No wonder he was beaten so badly by a ten-thousand-year-old dark gold terrorclaw bear, which almost killed him instantly with just one claw.

Even his spirit rings are not in the best configuration. Even though his strength is stronger than Dugu Bo, it is not much stronger.

However, a Titled Douluo is a Titled Douluo after all. He was quickly defeated by an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast. He was beaten to death by it and was killed by Qian Renxue with one blow.

Then Bu Jinghong began to carefully observe the process of Qian Renxue absorbing the soul ring.

Because, in the entire Douluo series, there is a bug that he cares about the most, and that is lifespan.

In the first part of Douluo, the high priest Poseidon clearly said that once you break through to the Titled Douluo level, under normal circumstances, you can have a lifespan of two to three hundred times.

After that, every level you break through will increase your lifespan by a hundred years.

That is to say, theoretically speaking, a level 99 Ultimate Douluo can increase his lifespan by 900 years, plus his own lifespan, minus the time it takes to break through. In other words, the theoretical lifespan limit of a Titled Douluo should be around a thousand years.

However, Qian Daoliu, Poseidon and Tang Chen all died early due to various reasons, and none of them lived to see their death.

As for Mu Lao in Dou Er, he was already injured and his life span was shortened.

Another thing is that it is impossible for a person to not get hurt or get sick during his life, and both of these will naturally shorten his lifespan.

Just like Bu Jinghong's previous life, even for ordinary humans, the theoretical limit of their lifespan is one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty years old.

But in the whole world, how many people live to be over 100 years old?
After that, Huo Yuhao established the Soul Transferring Tower and created the soul system.

After that, the life span of all Titled Douluo on the continent basically stopped at two to three hundred years.

Now, Bu Jinghong finally knew the reason.

Before Huo Yuhao, soul masters had to kill soul beasts to obtain soul rings. After that, part of the soul beast's energy returned to the world, while the remaining essence, energy, and spirit, under the influence of the rules of heaven and earth, condensed into soul rings. Absorbing soul rings is equivalent to absorbing and plundering the remaining essence, energy, and spirit of the soul beast, or the essence of life. In this way, it will naturally enhance the essence of life of the soul master.

The lifespan of a soul beast is much longer than that of a soul master.

But the soul system is not like that. This thing was originally created with the help of Elder Alex. He signed a soul contract with a dying soul beast. After the soul beast died, all its power would be transformed into soul rings.

According to normal theoretical age, the first soul ring is 423 years, the second soul ring is 764 years, the third soul ring is more than 1,700 years, the fourth soul ring is 5,000 years, the fifth soul ring is 12,000 years, the sixth soul ring is 20,000 years, the seventh soul ring is 30,000 to 50,000 years, the eighth soul ring is more than 50,000 years and less than 100,000 years. The ninth soul ring is 100,000 years.

In other words, for an average soul master with the best configuration, the combined age of the first five soul rings is less than 20,000 years, so consuming a soul beast of about 20,000 years old is enough.

It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, Soul King is already the upper limit that an ordinary person can achieve, and most people actually stay at the second or third ring for their entire lives.

Just like Grandpa Matthew Nuo in the Notting City branch of the Spirit Hall in the Douluo world.

But by doing so, the soul beast's life essence will not be absorbed by the soul master, but will be completely retained in the soul ring.

Naturally, it is impossible to enhance the soul master's own essence, energy, spirit, or the source of life.

Originally, soul beasts could enhance their own cultivation by eating soul masters, and soul masters could also seize their essence by hunting soul beasts and absorbing soul rings, thus strengthening themselves and breaking through bottlenecks. Both sides were in a state of plundering each other.

Just like in the world of immortal heroes and mysterious creatures, monsters and demons eat humans to improve their intelligence and increase their strength, while humans kill monsters and demons, take their demon pills and magic cores to refine into pills, and use their fur, bones, flesh, scales, armor and other materials to refine into magic weapons.

The essence is the same: humans, demon beasts and monsters are in a state of mutual plunder and opposition.

However, in other worlds, killing monsters is not a necessity, but the soul ring system in the Douluo world determines that human soul masters must kill soul beasts if they want to improve their strength.

But under Huo Yuhao's spirit ring system, the relationship between the two sides changed from mutual plunder to a symbiotic one.

The advantage is that it greatly reduces the number of soul beasts that need to be killed, but at the same time, since the soul beasts will concentrate all their cultivation on their soul rings and will no longer return them to the world after death, the Douluo Continent will naturally become weaker.

At the same time, the soul beast turned into a soul, and all the cultivation in its previous life was condensed on the soul ring, and its consciousness was also preserved, which meant that the soul master himself, in addition to obtaining the soul ring and breaking through the bottleneck, would not absorb the remaining essence, energy, spirit or life source of the soul beast imperceptibly like ten thousand years ago.

The result is that the lifespan of a soul master will basically not be increased any further.

By using the Blood Wheel Demon Eye to observe Qian Renxue's process of absorbing the spirit rings, Bu Jinghong has basically confirmed that while the Titled Douluo's cultivation is improving, he is also completely refining the remaining spirit beast's essence, energy, and spirit in the nine spirit rings that he absorbed before, and turning them into his own use.

Therefore, the comprehension and application of the Titled Douluo's soul skills can be fully raised to a higher level. A brilliant person like Tang Chen can be inspired by them and create amazing skills such as the Nine Wonders of Haotian and the Great Sumeru Hammer.

During this process, the lifespan of the soul master will also be enhanced to a certain extent.

Compared with the soul system, these two can only be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

But there is no doubt that Bu Jinghong will not choose the soul system.

Bu Jinghong would not feel at ease using power that could not be fully controlled.
