Chapter 91 Absorbing Soul Rings (Part Two)

"Then what about your spirit ring, brother?" Daglas asked again.

“The spirit rings we both absorbed were specially made. Yours were made of negative energy, while mine were made of positive energy, in order to ensure that the spirit rings were the most suitable for us.”

“I understand, brother,” Daglas nodded obediently.

“You absorb it with Grandpa,” Miguel said again.

After Miguel finished speaking, Daglas and the old man crushed the bead and began absorbing the spirit ring. Miguel thought that when Daglas awakened his spirit, his spirit power increased significantly, and he had already reached level 20, which was impossible to break through. Therefore, Miguel also needed to absorb the spirit ring, otherwise his cultivation would be stuck at level 20.

Suddenly, Miguel realized that if he absorbed a spirit ring, he would directly level up, which would mean he wouldn't be able to experience the process of breaking through from level 20 to level 21, contrary to his original intention. So he asked, "System, I want to ask, if absorbing a spirit ring would prevent me from breaking through multiple levels on my own, what should I do?"

"Ding, host, both your and Daglas's spirit rings are specially made. After absorbing the spirit rings, they will not provide you with any spirit skills or even spirit power, in order to ensure that your spirit power comes 100% from your own cultivation."

Upon hearing the system's words, Miguel's face fell. He knew that in the later stages, cultivating even a single level of soul power required a long time, and the thought of giving it up completely was something he was truly reluctant to do. Miguel struggled with this internal conflict for a long time, but ultimately suppressed his greed. Losing that level of soul power was one thing, but his foundation was paramount, and he didn't want to have to constantly work to rebuild it later.

"Is Daglas like me too?"

"Ding, yes, host."

"So, do you think I should let him absorb one spirit ring or two?"

"Ding, absorbing one or two soul power won't make any difference to Daglas. After all, his soul power level will still be level 20."

"I see."

After thinking it over, Miguel decided to do the same as him and not let him absorb a second spirit ring yet. After all, it would be no good to increase his strength too quickly. He would suppress it with the spirit ring law and wait until he had control over his spirit power before talking about breaking through. At least this way, he could ensure that his foundation was stable.

“Father Luke, please help protect the law.”

"I understand, Your Highness."

After hearing Father Luke's reply, Miguel took out his own spirit ring, then crushed the bead and began to absorb it.

At first, Miguel didn't feel any pressure because the age of the spirit rings was low. However, as the age of the spirit rings increased rapidly, they soon reached a hundred years. As time passed, the age of Miguel's spirit rings became higher and higher. Gradually, Miguel felt the pressure, and gradually, the pressure became greater and greater. Miguel felt that he could hardly bear it, but he didn't want to lose face as a transmigrator, so he continued to persevere.

When the spirit ring's age reached seven hundred years, Miguel's bones were somewhat deformed, but he still didn't give up and continued to persevere. When the spirit ring's age reached nine hundred years, Miguel's entire body began to bleed. Gradually, like porcelain, cracks appeared on Miguel's body. When the spirit ring's age reached nine hundred and ninety-nine years, Miguel could no longer hold on and completely reached his limit.

Although his spirit ring was only one year away from becoming a thousand-year spirit ring, Miguel felt that if he recklessly tried to skip that year and break through to become a thousand-year spirit ring, his fate would be dire, and he would most likely explode. Therefore, Miguel did not continue.
