Chapter 25 None of you outsiders understand me!
"That works too!?" Dugu Yan was surprised when she realized what was being said.
"I can guarantee that it's feasible," Jing Tianming nodded.
"Have you tried it?" Dugu Yan blurted out.
"I haven't tried it myself, but others have," Jing Tianming said dismissively. "It's said that amplification-type soul skills also work."
"However, it's best not to try it recklessly. Only in cases like Miss Lingling's, where the martial soul and soul ring attributes are highly compatible, the age difference is not much, and the soul ring energy is relatively mild, can it be a temporary solution."
"Otherwise, it might backfire."
"After all, whether it's a healing-type soul skill or an amplification-type soul skill, it inherently increases the burden on the soul master's body."
"The former essentially consumes soul power to enhance the body's self-healing ability, while the latter temporarily stimulates the body's potential to a certain extent. Both are a form of wear and tear on the body."
"Too much of a good thing is bad," Dugu Bo nodded. "This method is ingenious, but if not handled carefully, it could lead to an even faster self-destruction!"
Follow up with comments.
"It can only be said that its scope of application is very narrow."
"Plant-based spirit rings, which absorb energy more gently, are worth trying, but animal-based ones... well, I think we should forget about them."
"It's not worth risking your life just to have a spirit ring that's decades older than others."
"After all, it's just a few decades more, not a qualitative change like turning a hundred-year soul ring into a thousand-year soul ring."
"That's absolutely right!" Jing Tianming nodded. He said all this because he didn't want these people to think that absorbing a soul ring beyond their level was too easy. It was enough to just use Ye Lingling as a front; he didn't want anyone to actually discover anything, especially Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
A business that loses money is definitely not something you can do.
"That makes sense!" Dugu Yan nodded in agreement, saying seriously, "It's not worth risking your life for such a small improvement."
After saying that, she turned around with a grin and said, "But Lingling, you're in luck, this method is perfect for you."
"One spirit ring adds several decades to your life, and with multiple spirit rings combined, it's a decent improvement for you."
"The key is that there's hardly any risk involved."
"Hehe, if it really works out later, you'll have to thank them properly!"
At this point, a playful thought suddenly struck her, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease, "How about you repay me with your body?"
Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed red instantly.
Zhu Zhuqing instantly became alert, her delicate body involuntarily stiffening, her large eyes brightening like a meerkats on alert, her peripheral vision instinctively glancing at Jing Tianming.
But seeing that Jing Tianming's expression was normal and he didn't take it to heart at all, I relaxed.
"Sister Yan, stop fooling around!"
Ye Lingling, who was not good at speaking but had a meticulous mind, noticed Zhu Zhuqing's reaction out of the corner of her eye and quickly said.
"Yanzi, don't be silly. You can't joke like that." Qin Ming quickly reprimanded her with a stern face.
"Okay, okay, I know, I was wrong, alright?" Dugu Yan pouted, feeling utterly bored.
Surrounded by serious people, there's not a single person I can joke with. This life is truly utterly boring!
Thinking of this, she sighed to herself, looking dejected as if life had lost its meaning.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo, who cherished his granddaughter, shook his head, feeling utterly helpless. His granddaughter had lost both parents at a young age and had been raised by him alone. While she seemed spoiled and carefree, she was actually tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Due to a long period of lack of companionship, she valued emotions highly and craved them greatly. Her tendency to interrupt was actually a way of seeking more attention.
Thinking of this, a pang of self-reproach and heartache rose in his heart, and he sighed, "Young friend, I'm sorry. My granddaughter is just like that, so carefree and easygoing."
"However, I'm not a bad person. I'm just a bit bored from the journey and want to chat with someone."
While the theory the young man had just presented might not be of much value to him and his granddaughter, it was still a rare and useful resource for a compatible Soul Master. Other sects or factions would likely have kept it to themselves, but this child had chosen to speak it out publicly.
This shows his character, so he personally quite likes this kid.
"It's alright," Jing Tianming said with a smile, showing his tolerance. "This junior knows that Miss Dugu was joking."
"The Sunset Forest is densely vegetated and has a dark surface environment. Walking in it for a long time can easily make you feel depressed and want to vent. I'll be honest with you all, I feel the same way. Fortunately, I have companions and elders with me, so I don't feel bored and annoyed."
"I think Miss Dugu's current situation is probably similar to mine."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan felt as if she had met a kindred spirit. Her clear eyes instantly brightened, and she looked around at her teammates, pouting as she complained.
"Hmph, look at them, none of you understand me as well as a stranger!"
"We've walked for so long, and you're all like silent gourds, not uttering a single word for ages. Don't you get bored?"
"With my grandfather around, what do you have to worry about? Are you afraid that a spirit beast will suddenly jump out and eat you?"
"It's precisely because your grandfather is here that we dare not speak carelessly..." Yu Feng said with an awkward smile, feeling utterly helpless.
Yu Tianheng was the same; he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Even he, who came from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, dared not speak, let alone the other team members.
For a moment, all the boys burst into awkward laughter.
As for Ye Lingling, she was not good at talking, and with strangers around and having just been teased by her best friend, she had only just recovered and didn't know how to comfort her. Her face turned as red as a teapot, and she couldn't utter a sound for a long time.
"Fine, I'm too lazy to leave you all!" Seeing that no one was saying anything, Dugu Yan felt even more annoyed and simply turned her head away, out of sight, out of mind.
"Ahem..." Qin Ming quickly spoke up to smooth things over, turning his gaze to Jing Tianming and changing the subject.
"Brother Jing, since this method is feasible, we'll trouble you to take us there later."
As for Ye Lingling, her reaction just now showed that she was willing, not to mention that even Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, approved of this method. In this way, the team members could become stronger, and there was little risk involved, so as the team leader, he was naturally happy to do so.
After all, he still wanted to lead his team to compete in the upcoming Soul Master Tournament!
As the only healing-type Soul Master in the team, the stronger Ye Lingling's Martial Soul healing ability, the greater their chances of winning.
"Jing, thank you for your help!" With her mentor Qin Ming speaking first, Ye Lingling broke her silence and quickly replied politely, "Whatever reward you want, just name it. As long as it's within my ability, I will do my best."
"No need for that," Jing Tianming replied readily. "It's just helping out, nothing serious."
"If Miss Lingling feels bad about it, just consider it a favor you owe me. Who knows, I might need your help someday."
"As Soul Masters, we are bound to fight in the future. Who can guarantee that we won't get injured?"
"It is my good fortune to befriend such an outstanding healing soul master as Miss Lingling."
Upon hearing that she was being valued so highly, and that no one had ever said before that it was lucky to befriend her, Ye Lingling suddenly felt a little shy. Her pretty face flushed again, and instead of being calm and serene, she became somewhat reserved, responding in a muffled voice.
"Alright, if you need treatment in the future, you can come to the academy to find me anytime."
"Then it's settled." Jing Tianming nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Ming smiled and made the decision, "Then let's rest here for another 15 minutes, and then we'll set off."
"Okay!" Jing Tianming readily agreed.
Such conversation... This kid is no ordinary person... Dugu Bo glanced at the three of them again out of the corner of his eye, finally focusing on Jing Tianming, thinking to himself.
As if suddenly remembering something, he stroked his chin, smiled, and started a new topic, "Young friend, your surname is Jing."
"That reminds me of someone. Judging by their age, they should be about your age now."
