Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: Absorbing the God-Given Spirit Ring

Bo Saixi was at least over a hundred years old, yet she allowed Li Qing, a teenager, to call her 'Little Xi.' How could she possibly say that? There's no way to show respect like that.

Dugu Bo and the others stared at her, dumbfounded, especially Sea Dragon Douluo.

Who was Bo Saixi?

The High Priest of Sea God Island, a Level 99 super Douluo, actually showing such reverence to a mere child. Was there anything more outrageous than this?

Li Qing: "Senior, there's no need to be so polite. Just treat me as a normal person."

He knew her respect must stem from the Sea God. Although he didn't know what the Sea God had told her, Li Qing couldn't really treat her as a junior, could he?

Bo Saixi nodded.

Li Qing looked at Dugu Yan and the others and said, "You all go to the city with Sea Dragon Douluo first. I have something I need to discuss with Senior Bo Saixi. I'll come find you when I'm done."

"Okay!"

Dugu Yan and the others readily agreed.

With a wave of Sea Dragon Douluo's hand, light emerged, and the seawater on one side of the Sea within a Sea surged, condensing into a bridge in the air leading deeper into Sea God Island.

"Everyone, please!"

Ye Lengleng and the others widened their eyes at this strange sight but didn't ask further, following Sea Dragon Douluo onto the bridge.

"Is he—is he doing well?"

As soon as Dugu Bo and the others left, Bo Saixi couldn't help but ask, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Li Qing shook his head and said, "His status is similar to yours, but you are still you, while he is no longer himself. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is now a puppet without self-awareness."

Bo Saixi's pupils gradually widened, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Li Qing continued, "Don't even think about trying to save him. In the place he is, any Spirit Master who enters will have their spirit power sealed. If you go in, you might even get yourself trapped."

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi's expression dimmed.

Even if she wanted to save him, she couldn't, because as the High Priest of Sea God Island, her mission was to remain on Sea God Island and guard the Sea God's legacy.

As Li Qing's spirit power surged, black wings unfolded, and seven spirit rings, five black and two red, appeared.

The Mark of Reincarnation also appeared on his brow.

Seeing this, Bo Saixi's heart churned. The other party looked at most twenty years old, yet his spirit power level had already surpassed Level 70.

And he even had two 100,000-year spirit rings.

Even as a devotee of the Sea God, this was somewhat beyond her comprehension, as she, who had undergone the Sea God's Eight Trials, only had one 100,000-year spirit ring.

Li Qing: "As you can see, my speed of becoming a god will definitely be faster than Leng Leng's."

"I hope you will properly preside over her God's Trial. When I become a god, you may not need to sacrifice yourself. At that time, I can also arrange for you to meet Tang Chen."

Bo Saixi's heart tightened. The other party was warning her.

Indeed, her little schemes couldn't even hide from a teenager of fifteen or twenty, so how could they possibly hide from the omnipotent Lord Sea God?

"Don't worry, even if you didn't say so, I would still do it."

She had some small thoughts before, but from the moment the Sea God issued the divine decree, she no longer dared to have any small thoughts, so Li Qing's warning was superfluous.

Li Qing nodded: "I won't stay on Sea God Island for long, so I'll trouble you with them."

His third trial was completed the moment Ye Lengleng and all of them began their God's Trial, and the fourth trial had nothing to do with Sea God Island or Ye Lengleng and the others.

He needed to return to the mainland.

Bo Saixi hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Is he still salvageable?"

"Hard to say."

Li Qing shook his head. It might not be difficult to save Tang Chen after he became a god, but why he should save him and whether the other party was worth saving was another matter.

Bo Saixi wanted to speak but stopped, finally swallowing the words that had reached her lips.

She didn't know Tang Chen's current exact state, so she couldn't deduce whether Li Qing's words were true or false. The key was that he had no obligation to save him.

Saying more would be a bit tactless.

The only way to save Tang Chen was to try to please Li Qing as much as possible, so that he would voluntarily help, rather than merely begging or threatening him.

That would only backfire.

The two chatted briefly, and then Bo Saixi personally led Li Qing to a city, finding Ye Lengleng and the others who had already settled down.

After Bo Saixi left, Li Qing found a room, preparing to receive his rewards and absorb spirit rings.

The reward for the third trial was an increase of 10,000 years to his spirit ring age, plus a 10% progress, and after the progress reached 30%,

It finally triggered a special reward.

However, the specific special reward was not stated; he would only know it after going to Death Canyon.

After receiving the spirit ring year increase, Li Qing's seven spirit rings, the lowest aged, had already reached over 46,000 years, and the highest had reached 150,000 years.

He wondered if subsequent rewards could push all his spirit rings to over 100,000 years.

Composing himself, Li Qing took out a god-bestowed spirit ring, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. He really wanted to know where his current limit of endurance was.

"Come on!"

Li Qing crushed the god-bestowed spirit ring, and golden mist permeated the air. The golden light mist, with its hazy colors, gradually enveloped his body until he was completely covered.

In an instant, circles of light began to appear around Li Qing's body.

Li Qing immediately went all out, Spirit possessed, Death Qi surging, all his Spirit Bones lit up, and the golden light mist surrounding his body gradually changed.

The golden mist disappeared, replaced by circles of golden threads constantly weaving around his body.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden energy surrounding him changed again. Circles of golden threads began to condense, transforming into circles of golden halos.

They continuously expanded and contracted, impacting Li Qing's body again and again.

Each impact exerted a certain pressure on Li Qing's body, but this pressure was not exaggerated for now, completely within his tolerance.

However, as time continued to pass, that pressure gradually intensified.

Even with Li Qing's extraordinary physique, he gradually began to struggle. Under the terrifying pressure, tiny drops of blood were slowly squeezed out from his pores.

Soon, blood soaked his body.

If Ye Lengleng and the others saw Li Qing at this moment, they would surely scream, because he had completely turned into a blood man.

Li Qing persisted, gritting his teeth, and with strong willpower, he withstood the pressure again and again.

If it were just an ordinary 100,000-year spirit ring, it would naturally not be any pressure for him, but his goal was not just 100,000 years. He wanted to see where his limit was.

He also wanted to see the limit of the god-bestowed spirit ring.
