Chapter 123: Plague God Physique, Part 4
April 4, 2023 Author: Fu Hejun
Nine 100,000-year soul rings!!!
When Sun Zhongjing's soul rings lit up, not only was Dugu Bo stunned, but everyone in the Live Broadcast Room was also astonished.
[Nine 100,000-year soul rings?!]
[What's going on? Is he also a twin martial soul user?]
[Unbelievable!]
[Isn't his martial soul a tongue?]
[Could he have another martial soul we don't know about!?]
[Plague God Physique? Is this thing really...]
[No way...]
[Is this method really feasible?]
A flurry of bullet comments scrolled by; everyone was incredulous.
In the video, Dugu Bo pointed at the nine red halos radiating an endless, overwhelming pressure, too shocked to speak. Just watching it on video, without personally witnessing such legendary soul rings, made it impossible to truly imagine the sheer shock.
"...Are you a twin martial soul user?!" he finally managed to say.
"Heh heh, not at all."
Sun Zhongjing shook his head and, with a thought, retracted the nine soul rings around him.
"Actually, at first, this old man's soul rings weren't all 100,000-year soul rings; they were upgraded later..." Before he could finish, Dugu Bo excitedly interrupted him.
"Impossible! How can the age of a soul ring possibly be increased?!" His face was filled with disbelief. This truly challenged his common sense.
"Why can't it be increased?" Sun Zhongjing countered.
"This..." Dugu Bo was stumped. Did that question even need to be asked? The age of a soul ring, once acquired, cannot be increased—isn't that common knowledge?
"Heh heh, actually, most people don't know that the age of a Soul Master's soul rings can be increased through certain methods. Besides this old man's method of using demonic illnesses, there's a more common way: undergoing a god's trial. After passing the trial, there's a high probability of being rewarded with a god-bestowed soul ring, an increase in soul power level, or a random increase in the age of one of your soul rings," Sun Zhongjing said with a smile. He not only answered Dugu Bo's confusion but also that of everyone in the Live Broadcast Room.
[So... that's how it is?]
[Gods can bestow soul rings and even help people increase their age?]
[Although it feels like it defies common sense, if it's a god, it's not impossible.]
[Wait! In that case, this person can increase his soul ring's age on his own without relying on gods... Isn't that too incredible?]
[The Plague God Physique... truly marvelous!]
[Can inhaling viruses really increase the age of a soul ring?]
[Why do I feel like that's unreliable? Is he trying to trick us?]
[But how do you explain the nine 100,000-year soul rings on him?]
[They don't look fake...]
[Let's just watch the video and see if he explains further...]
A flurry of bullet comments slid by. Most people felt that Sun Zhongjing was deceiving them, with only a small number believing he might genuinely possess some special method.
In the video, Dugu Bo recovered from his astonishment, shook his head, and said, "I still find it hard to believe that the age of soul rings can be increased. If you said a god helped you, that would make sense. But for you to do it yourself... I can't understand how you could increase a soul ring's age."
"That's where the uniqueness of the Plague God Physique comes in." Sun Zhongjing didn't seem surprised by Dugu Bo's disbelief. After all, strictly speaking, such a matter defied common sense. It would be strange to believe such claims on words alone.
"Actually, the soul rings on my body are all condensed from my own soul power, not obtained from hunting soul beasts," he revealed an even more incredible fact.
"That's impossible!"
Dugu Bo refuted it without a second thought. He then gave him a strange look and said, "Unless you're a soul beast that has taken human form, I've never heard of any Soul Master who could condense their own soul rings."
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, if someone told you today that it's possible to poison people with sound waves, would you believe it?" Sun Zhongjing countered.
"This... but it doesn't make sense."
Dugu Bo was at a loss for words and instinctively retorted, "From ancient times until now, no one has ever heard of a Soul Master who could condense their own soul rings."
"No, it just means they haven't found the right method."
"After all, compared to exploring methods of condensing soul rings, isn't it simpler to just get them from soul beasts? Since soul rings are readily available, no one ever considered whether Soul Masters could condense their own. Naturally, no one has researched it."
"But if you trace it back to its roots, since gods can bestow soul rings upon humans and soul beasts can condense their own after taking human form, why is it that humans can't?" Sun Zhongjing refuted with examples, finally concluding, "Therefore, as long as one can discover the underlying principle, relying on oneself to condense soul rings is not strange at all."
"..."
Dugu Bo was so shocked by his words it was as if a door to a new world had been opened for him. He didn't know what to say.
"Before I turned sixty, I wasn't even a Soul Master. I was just a physician traveling the continent."
"Then, in my sixtieth year, on a sudden whim, I fused my soul power with various viruses and unexpectedly obtained the first soul ring of my life. From then on, I gradually figured out a method to condense my own soul rings without hunting soul beasts."
"Precisely because my soul rings are self-condensed, their age increases as my soul power grows."
"Initially, when I condensed my first soul ring, its age was a mere ten years. Later, as my rank increased, all the way to the peak of a rank ninety-nine Soul Master, the age of my soul rings finally grew to the hundred-thousand-year level," Sun Zhongjing slowly recounted his experiences.
[Oh my god!!]
[Such a method actually exists in this world!]
[So Soul Masters don't actually need soul beasts to get soul rings, they can condense their own!]
[What's more, these soul rings, condensed by the Soul Masters themselves, even improve as their cultivation progresses!]
[Too incredible!]
[If only we could know the method of naturally condensing soul rings...]
[Compared to soul rings from hunted soul beasts, the age of these ones automatically increases as the Soul Master's rank rises... It's truly unbelievable!]
[If this method could be popularized, perhaps everyone in the future could possess 100,000-year soul rings...]
[No, I don't think that's possible. There must be some kind of restriction.]
[Otherwise, if everyone could condense their own soul rings, I can't imagine the consequences... Condensing your own soul rings is definitely not as simple as he makes it sound!]
The bullet comments in the Live Broadcast Room buzzed with discussion. Many expressed astonishment and disbelief. Even more, however, voiced skepticism, believing that condensing one's own soul rings was absolutely not as simple as Sun Zhongjing made it sound. There had to be some limiting conditions.
Otherwise, if everyone could condense their own soul rings, wouldn't everyone in the future become a Soul Master with nine 100,000-year rings? No matter how you looked at it, that was just unrealistic.
