[Increase Soul Ring Age Limit]: 10 Emotion Points/Year
"Sword Hardening": Increases the hardness of the Martial Soul Li Jing Long Sword by 50% for 5 seconds!
Slogan: Harder is stronger!
—————————
Although, if the enemy could crush the Martial Soul Li Jing Sword,
Then the 'catching a blade with bare hands' would be self-defeating.
But...
'System, what is the inherent hardness of the Martial Soul Li Jing Sword?'
[The Martial Soul Li Jing Sword is a God-level Martial Soul. Within 10 levels, it cannot be destroyed by God-level Martial Souls of the Attack-type. Within 20 levels, it cannot be destroyed by non-God-level Martial Souls of the Attack-type!]
Got it.
Qian Renxue would have to be 20 levels higher than him and use a strong attack-type soul skill to destroy the Martial Soul Li Jing Sword.
With the Soul Skill 'Sword Hardening' activated, Qian Renxue would have to be 30 levels higher.
As for ordinary Martial Souls...
If they're not 40 levels higher, they should kneel obediently.
'This is specifically designed for overcoming challenges beyond one's level.'
'I'm currently level 35, so one would need to be level 75 to damage the Li Jing Sword.'
'Awesome!'
10 Emotion Points/Year, is it?
I'll click, click, click!
[Consumed 10 Emotion Points, Soul Ring Age Limit increased to 101 years!]
[Consumed 10 Emotion Points, Soul Ring Age Limit increased to 1000 years!]
Let's look at the description again.
—————————
[Increase Soul Ring Age Limit]: 10 Emotion Points/Year
"Sword Hardening": Increases the hardness of the Martial Soul Li Jing Sword by 200% for 20 seconds!
——Unbreakable: During the duration of the soul skill, the sword body can be forcibly gathered to prevent shattering by consuming soul power!
Slogan: Harder is stronger!
—————————
Not bad!
Harder and more durable.
And it has an added 'Unbreakable' characteristic.
Worth it.
Looking at the cost to increase the Soul Ring Age Limit, it's still 10 Emotion Points/Year.
Zhuge Lan was a little surprised.
But after thinking about it carefully.
That makes sense.
The subsequent increase in age limit is tenfold. If the cost also increased accordingly, it would be exponentially more expensive.
The final number would be very exaggerated.
Unlocking this Thousand-Year Soul Ring cost a total of 10,000 Emotion Points.
There are still over 90,000 Emotion Points left, which can be used to increase it to ten thousand years.
But he still has four Soul Rings that haven't been activated yet. At the very least, they need to be raised to a thousand years, which would cost 40,000 Emotion Points.
'Let's unlock all the Soul Rings first.'
'Anyway, I can increase the age limit. The sooner I open them, the sooner I can enjoy them.'
As for how to explain it later?
Heh!
Let them withstand a strike from my sword first.
Zhuge Lan activated the third Soul Ring of the Li Jing Sword.
And continuously clicked to increase it to 1000 years.
—————————
[Increase Soul Ring Age Limit]: 10 Emotion Points/Year
"Sword Burn": Adds a burning effect to the Martial Soul Li Jing Sword, lasting for 20 seconds!
Slogan: A delight for barbecue lovers!
—————————
Zhuge Lan: "..."
He hadn't noticed it just now.
What's with this Soul Skill name?
Sword Hardening?
Sword Burn?
Looking at the first Soul Skill, 'Catching a blade with bare hands'.
The style is consistent, so it's fine.
Zhuge Lan scratched his head and activated the first Soul Ring for the Martial Soul Thorns Armor.
Looking at the newly emerged first Soul Skill, he smiled.
—————————
[Increase Soul Ring Age Limit]: 10 Emotion Points/Year
"Hatred Curse": After activating the Soul Skill and suffering an attack, curse the attacker with a harmless negative status, lasting for 1 second!
Slogan: If you want to hit me, you have to pay a small price first!
—————————
Like the Soul Skills of the Li Jing Sword, the style is extremely weird!
——It's simply tailor-made for farming Emotion Points.
But...
'System, what does harmless negative status refer to?'
[Nasal congestion, itching, eye dryness, difficulty breathing...]
Tens of thousands of statuses flashed before Zhuge Lan's eyes.
Although each one only makes people uncomfortable and doesn't affect combat.
But!
Can't this Soul Ring be upgraded in age limit?
Zhuge Lan, full of expectations, clicked his index finger again.
—————————
[Increase Soul Ring Age Limit]: 10 Emotion Points/Year
"Hatred Curse": After activating the Soul Skill and suffering an attack, perform a curse judgment on the attacker. They will inevitably gain a harmless negative status, or a small probability of suffering a minor negative status, lasting for 10 seconds!
Slogan: If you want to hit me, be careful of losing face~
—————————
It really changed!
'System, list the minor negative statuses.'
[Diarrhea, hemorrhoids, blindness, menstrual cramps, appendicitis, wisdom tooth inflammation, bone hyperplasia...]
"Hiss——"
Zhuge Lan leaned back tactically, afraid of getting contaminated by something unclean!
Any of the items in the list, during combat...
Someone throws a punch, and you get diarrhea?
Or hemorrhoids flare up, and you can only spread your legs and run?
A boy gets menstrual cramps and waddles with his legs clamped together?
And this appendicitis, can anyone really withstand it without cutting themselves open?
Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill!
It's too embarrassing!
In comparison, blindness, deafness, and muteness can only be considered moderate.
'Condolences to my future enemies.'
Zhuge Lan grinned and activated the second Soul Ring.
Unexpectedly, it was quite ordinary.
He directly upgraded to 1000 years.
—————————
[Increase Soul Ring Age Limit]: 10 Emotion Points/Year
"Light's Revenge": After activation, absorbs and stores 10% of the damage, which can be consumed at once to unleash up to two bolts of light-attribute lightning, attacking random weaknesses of any target!
Slogan: The harder you hit, the more vicious my revenge!
—————————
An ordinary defensive Soul Skill.
It's seriously out of sync with the other styles.
Just as he was pondering.
"Knock, knock, knock——"
A knock on the door rang out.
"Sir, your order has arrived, please open the door."
Zhuge Lan got up upon hearing this and casually unlocked the third Soul Ring.
Glancing at it.
His whole body froze!
Oops!
Another fun one came out!
Two days later, at the entrance of Shrek Academy.
Zhuge Lan, who had just finished a big meal, strolled over.
Application Teacher Li Yusong was examining the last applicant.
Zhuge Lan stopped and sized up this applicant.
Her face was cold, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, making her fair skin seem to glow.
But the most eye-catching thing was her full and fiery figure!
She was clearly only eleven or twelve years old, but she was more mature than a peach.
A cold temperament and a fiery figure.
Such an extreme contrast, of course, was Zhu Zhuqing.
'Such an amazing girl, wasted by that guy Dai Mubai.'
'System, any suggestions?'
[This system only provides exchange services and does not offer tips on pursuing girls!]
'Tch~' Zhuge Lan casually said in his heart: 'Then can you let me and Zhu Zhuqing also have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Something that surpasses Netherworld White Tiger.'
[1 million Emotion Points can unlock the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with "Martial Soul · Netherworld Cat"!]
Oops!
It really works?
It's just that these 1 million Emotion Points are definitely not available now.
'System, can I pay in installments?'
[20,000 Emotion Points can pre-unlock the resonance of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with "Martial Soul · Netherworld Cat." After that, each payment of 490,000 Emotion Points can unlock a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!]
It's still charged according to the Twin Martial Souls.
Zhuge Lan glanced at the system interface.
[Emotion Points: 25657]
——Previously, he spent 50,000 Emotion Points to increase the Hatred Curse to a 5,000-year limit, extending the duration of the negative status to 20 seconds.
Originally, there were just over 10,000 left.
But in the past two days, Xiao Wu and Tang San had been "mentioning" Zhuge Lan a lot.
Just enough to use.
However...
