Chapter 123: The Plague God's Physique (Part 4)

Nine hundred thousand year spirit rings!!!

As soon as Sun Zhongjing revealed his rings, not only was Dugu Bo completely stunned, but the entire livestream audience was left in absolute shock.

[Nine hundred thousand year rings?!]

[What's going on? Is he a twin martial soul user?!]

[Impossible!]

[Wasn't his martial soul just a tongue?!]

[Does he have another martial soul we don't know about?!]

[The Plague God's Physique… is this actually real?!]

[No way…]

[Is this method truly feasible?]

The chat was flooded with disbelief.

In the video:

"You... YOU!"

Dugu Bo pointed at the nine terrifying crimson spirit rings surrounding Sun Zhongjing, completely at a loss for words.

No matter how much the audience had heard about these legendary spirit rings, it was impossible to truly understand their impact without seeing them firsthand.

"...Are you a twin martial soul user?!" he finally blurted out.

"Heh, no."

Sun Zhongjing shook his head, and with a single thought, the nine hundred thousand year rings vanished.

"Actually, my spirit rings weren't always like this. I improved them later on "

Before he could finish, Dugu Bo interrupted him, clearly agitated.

"Impossible! Spirit rings cannot be improved!" His face was full of disbelief. This completely violated his understanding of soul cultivation.

"Why not?" Sun Zhongjing asked calmly.

"This..."

Dugu Bo was stumped. This should have been common sense spirit ring ages were fixed at the time of absorption!

"Heh, most people simply don't realize that spirit rings can be improved." Sun Zhongjing chuckled. "Besides my own method of using Plague Magic, there's actually another common way to improve spirit rings by receiving a divine inheritance. When a spirit master undergoes a god's trials, they often receive a divine reward, which could be: a divine spirit ring, an increase in spirit power, or even a random upgrade to an existing ring."

His words not only answered Dugu Bo's doubts but also left the livestream audience in awe.

[Wait… so gods can bestow spirit rings?]

[And even increase their age?!]

[I always thought spirit rings were fixed… but if it's from a god, I guess that makes sense.]

[Hold on! That means this guy increased his spirit rings WITHOUT a god's help?!]

[That's insane!]

[The Plague God's Physique… is it truly that miraculous?!]

[Does it really work just by absorbing viruses? That sounds too good to be true.]

[But those nine hundred thousand year rings… how do you explain them?]

[I doubt it's fake… let's see if he explains further.]

The chat was still full of skepticism.

Back in the video:

Dugu Bo, still recovering from the shock, shook his head.

"I still find it hard to believe that spirit rings can be improved," he admitted. "If you said a god helped you, I'd believe it. But self improvement? I don't see how that's possible."

"That's because you don't yet understand the unique properties of the Plague God's Physique."

Sun Zhongjing didn't seem surprised by Dugu Bo's skepticism. After all, this completely went against conventional wisdom.

"If I simply told you my spirit rings weren't obtained from killing spirit beasts, but rather were formed purely from my own spirit power, would you believe me?"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened.

"That's impossible!"

He immediately denied it.

Unless…

"Are you a spirit beast turned human?!"

That would be the only explanation, right?

"I assure you, I am not."

Sun Zhongjing smiled slightly.

"But that's absurd!" Dugu Bo was still trying to rationalize it. "No human spirit master has ever been able to create their own spirit rings!"

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's impossible."

Sun Zhongjing chuckled.

"Would you have believed earlier today that one could use sound waves to poison someone?"

"This…"

Dugu Bo was left speechless.

"But it still doesn't make sense!" he insisted. "For thousands of years, no one has ever naturally formed their own spirit rings!"

"That's simply because no one bothered to try."

Sun Zhongjing smirked.

"Think about it why would anyone try to create their own rings when hunting spirit beasts is easier? The conventional method already works, so no one ever thought to question it."

"But if you think about it logically gods can grant spirit rings, and spirit beasts can naturally generate their own rings when they transform into humans. So why, exactly, should humans be the only ones unable to do it?"

His argument was undeniable.

Dugu Bo was completely shaken.

It was as if he had just glimpsed a whole new world one that he never considered before.

"I was not born a spirit master," Sun Zhongjing continued.

"Until I was sixty years old, I was nothing more than a wandering doctor."

"Then, one day, I had an idea to merge my spirit power with thousands of viruses."

"That moment, I created my first spirit ring."

"From that day forward, I began to study how to naturally form spirit rings without killing spirit beasts."

"Since my rings were created from my own power, they have continued to grow stronger over time."

"At first, my rings were only ten years old."

"But as my cultivation progressed, they grew alongside me."

"Now, at rank 99, all of my rings have reached the hundred thousand year level."

The livestream exploded.

[This is insane!!!]

[So it's actually possible to generate your own spirit rings?!]

[And they GROW stronger over time?!]

[This is revolutionary!]

[If this knowledge spreads, spirit masters wouldn't need to kill spirit beasts anymore!]

[Wait, no… there must be a limitation. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be a rank 99 Titled Douluo with ten red rings?!]

[Exactly! There has to be a catch. Otherwise, this would change the entire spirit master world.]

The livestream was filled with speculation and disbelief.

Indeed, if everyone could generate their own spirit rings, then why hadn't this become common knowledge?

There had to be some kind of restriction.
