Chapitre 52: Chapter 52: Daily Life
After Qianjun Douluo and Qian Renxue finished discussing Li Luochen, he returned to Wuhun City.
Qian Renxue began thinking about how to truly win over Li Luochen. She already knew that Li Luochen's current strength had reached that of a high-level Soul Emperor.
Although Qian Renxue's talent allowed her to rival a Soul Emperor, she was currently only a Soul King—albeit one with a god-level martial soul. It would be a shame if she couldn't fight opponents of higher levels. *(Qian Xunji: 6)*
"Sure enough, he already has a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, but how did he do it? I have to find out more. I must also learn the method he's using to absorb spirit rings beyond the limit.
That woman has twin martial souls, both top-tier beast martial souls. Even though I have a god-level martial soul, my spirit ring configuration is inferior to hers.
It seems I need to delve deeper into this. My grandfather's generation of Ultimate Douluo, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, all had a ninth spirit ring of 100,000 years. I wonder if I could try for an eighth spirit ring of 100,000 years."
Qian Renxue pondered her own cultivation, focusing on how to acquire the super-limit spirit ring that Li Luochen had managed to obtain.

**Barak Kingdom, Soto City, Shrek Academy**
For the past few days, Li Luochen had been studying the staff techniques Qianjun Douluo had passed down to him, which greatly improved his understanding of staff combat.
"As expected from one of the top two staff masters in the current Douluo Soul Master world. The dragon-pattern staff technique is too simplistic. A staff differs from a hammer in that it's not as powerful but offers more versatility.
The staff allows for the strategy of using only three parts of strength for offense while keeping seven for defense. The key lies in actual combat and maintaining flexibility.
Its strength lies in aggressive offense while adapting to the situation. No wonder it's called the greatest of all weapons."
Over the next few days, Li Luochen practiced the Qianjun Staff Technique, while Dugu Yan enhanced his melee attack capabilities.
Two months later, Flender and the teachers returned with the students who had gone soul hunting.
Shrek Academy had grown stronger. Oscar absorbed a thousand-year spirit ring, gaining the "Swift Mushroom Sausage" spirit ability, which allows him to fly at the speed of a Spine-tailed Swift for a quarter of an hour. He can only produce five sausages at the moment, but his soul power level has reached twenty-six.
Ma Hongjun's soul power also reached twenty-two. He absorbed a thousand-year-old spirit ring, gaining the ability *Phoenix Wings Sky-Soaring,* which amplifies his fire-based attacks by 100% during flight. His strength has drastically improved.
Oscar, nearly nine years old, and Ma Hongjun, just six and a half, were progressing rapidly. Li Luochen speculated that both could reach the Soul Master level before they turned twelve, with Oscar potentially breaking the record set by Li Luochen himself. By the time Tang San and his group arrived at Shrek, Oscar and Ma Hongjun would likely be high-level soul masters.
Shao Xin, now level 73, had gained immense benefits from the Ninth-Grade Ginseng King, including his seventh spirit ring, which improved his soul power by one level. His seventh spirit ability, *Universal Sugar Bean*, increases all attributes by 50%—meaning someone like Flender could temporarily unleash 150% of his combat power.
During this time, Flender gifted Zhao Wuji the torso bone of the Earth Brown Bear, a spirit bone highly suited for him. Zhao Wuji's gratitude was almost overwhelming. After absorbing it, Zhao Wuji's soul power reached level 77. With time, he could achieve the level of Soul Douluo, giving Shrek Academy two Soul Douluo-level teachers. Meanwhile, Lu Qibin and Li Yusong were on track to become Soul Saints, ensuring Shrek's faculty would be extremely formidable.
The three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy—Meng Shenji (level 86 Soul Douluo), Bai Baoshan (level 85 Soul Douluo), and Zhilin (level 83 Soul Douluo)—were talented but lacked top-tier spirit ring configurations.
Still, they were highly respected figures in the Soul Master world, dedicating their lives to training the next generation. Li Luochen wondered if they could be recruited to Shrek Academy.
Though Flender was only at level 82, he was no weaker than Meng Shenji, having four spirit bones, including a 50,000-year-old right arm bone and a 15,000-year-old skull bone.
Zhao Wuji, with his new torso bone, would be an unstoppable force once he reached Contra level.
Shrek had absorbed all the thousand-year-old spirit bones Flender brought back. Shao Xin received a skull, Zhao Wuji a left arm bone, and Lu Qibin a right leg bone.
Li Yusong lucked out the most, obtaining a near-ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone from a golden python, a power-type sub-dragon spirit beast. This perfectly suited Li Yusong's abilities, pushing his soul power forward by half a level. He would soon break through to Soul Saint. Once that happened, Li Luochen planned to ask Dugu Bo to find a suitable 50,000-year-old spirit beast for Li Yusong to absorb as his eighth spirit ring, which could help him further down the line.
With peace restored to the academy, Li Luochen discussed Qianjun Douluo with Flender. Now that Flender had the strength to understand, it was crucial for him to be aware, especially for the next time Qianjun Douluo appeared.
"So, Qianjun Douluo has taken you as his apprentice? I see. These priests have eccentric personalities. Next time Dugu Bo returns, talk to him about it."
Flender, who had been proud of his recent strength improvements, now found himself humbled by the situation.
Currently, only Flender and Dugu Yan knew of Li Luochen's allegiance to a young master of the Spirit Hall. However, they were unconcerned, recognizing his genius. As long as he continued to hone his skills and take advantage of the resources around him, it would work in his favor.
Li Luochen was also contemplating a plan involving a rare light-attribute fairy herb, the Eight-Angled Sunflower, from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He considered exchanging it with Qian Renxue for a high-quality torso bone for Dugu Bo.
Given the wealth of the Worship Hall, obtaining even a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit bone seemed possible. Trading a herb that could enhance Qian Renxue's potential for a ninety-thousand-year-old sub-dragon torso bone didn't seem like too much of a stretch.
Despite Dugu Bo already being a level ninety-five Super Douluo with combat power comparable to a level ninety-six due to his Zhoutian Wuji Gong, Li Luochen still felt uneasy. He wasn't entirely sure if Qian Renxue was worth such an investment.
