Chapter 5: System, Save Me!

With a mixture of disbelief and anticipation, Zhou Chen opened his personal attribute screen:

- **Name:** Zhou Chen

- **Profession:** Plane Transmigrator

- **Race:** Human

- **Trait:** Handsome

- **Martial Spirit:** Emperor Xuanyuan

- **Strength:** Pinnacle of Qi Refining (Level 30 Soul Power)

- **Cultivation Technique:** The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor

"It's really Emperor Xuanyuan!!"

Confirming his personal attribute panel, Zhou Chen could hardly contain his excitement, feeling his blood rush with enthusiasm!

With such a supreme martial spirit assisting him, who could possibly stand in his way on the Douluo Continent?

Who else?

After a while, Zhou Chen barely managed to calm himself, and his gaze swept over the attribute screen once more, immediately noticing another earth-shattering change:

"Is this... Level 30 Soul Power?"

Although Zhou Chen knew his innate level was extraordinarily high, far exceeding level 10, he never expected his soul power would be at level 30!

To know, even legendary God-bestowed martial spirits, directly inherited from first-level deities like the Angel God and Sea God, only had an innate soul power level of 20!

And his martial spirit had an innate soul power level 10 levels higher than God-bestowed martial spirits!

While Zhou Chen was reveling in his innate soul power's greatness, the system suddenly spoke:

"Ding... Host's martial spirit has fully awakened. Considering our cooperative relationship, the system has decided to match the host with a first soul ring for free!"

"What?"

Stunned by this announcement, Zhou Chen felt puzzled. In Douluo Continent, soul rings usually required hunting soul beasts to obtain. What did "match" mean?

Why not just rank them?

Crack!

Before Zhou Chen could finish his thoughts, a massive golden lightning bolt descended from the sky at lightning speed, striking him and turning him into a radiant figure.

"Ding... Beginning soul ring matching, energy gathering in progress..."

As the system announced, a white ring of light slowly emerged from beneath his feet!

"Is this... a soul ring?"

Zhou Chen speculated as he watched the white ring oscillate around him.

In Douluo Continent, soul ring levels are divided by color: White, Yellow, Purple, Black, and Red, representing ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year soul rings, respectively.

If the ring around him was indeed a soul ring, then white... was clearly the lowest level, a ten-year soul ring!

System, I'm a paying player; not giving me a soul ring is one thing, but matching me with a ten-year soul ring is an insult to the power of spending!

As if hearing Zhou Chen's thoughts, the next second, the white soul ring turned yellow, then purple, from purple it turned black, then red... until it became a pure and dazzling golden color!

"Red is a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, gold... seems to be a god-level soul ring?"

With his transmigrator's strong mentality, Zhou Chen suppressed his excitement and thought calmly. In his impression, only direct divine inheritance or hunting million-year-old soul beasts could grant a god-level soul ring!

For example, in the Douluo sequel "Peerless Tang Sect," the protagonist Huo Yuhao, blessed by the protagonist's halo, was favored by the million-year-old soul beast Skydream Iceworm, acquiring a god-level soul ring as his first!

No wonder it's a spending system; it even provides soul rings essential for protagonists!

Dog system, I'll never dare curse you again.

"Ding... Soul ring matching successful."

"Ding... Danger! Danger! Host, please focus and resist the soul power impact!"

"Impact?"

Zhou Chen was first puzzled, then froze, his expression changing dramatically!

Soul rings, unique constructs of the Douluo plane, contain soul power, and the older the soul ring, the more soul power it holds!

Thus, soul masters often increase their soul power levels by absorbing soul rings. For instance, Tang San, in the original storyline, when acquiring his first soul ring, his soul power leaped from level 10 to 13 due to the ring's age nearing the 432-year limit.

But extremes lead to danger; absorbing a soul ring that's too old can result in an overload of soul power, causing the soul master to explode! According to the theory proposed by Master Yu Xiaogang in the original story, soul masters below level 30 can only absorb purple soul rings up to 1700 years old!

Yet now, Zhou Chen was absorbing a million-year god-level soul ring! Even a Titled Douluo would face certain death by recklessly absorbing a god-level soul ring!

Realizing this, Zhou Chen turned pale.

Boom!

Along with the incessant surging within, the massive soul power from the soul ring instantly filled Zhou Chen's body, threatening to make him explode any second!

"System, save me!"

Terrified, Zhou Chen abandoned all dignity, pleading with the system for help.

"Ding... Host, please remain calm. The system is guiding the excess soul power for orderly external release!"

Before the words were finished, Zhou Chen felt the boundless energy within him being forcibly guided by the system, suddenly erupting in a concentrated beam of light from his head!

This light, concentrated with the soul power of a million-year god-level soul ring, was so powerful that it reversed the previous golden pillar, blasting back into the sky, piercing through the clouds, and spreading, turning the sky within a ten-thousand-mile radius entirely golden!

Such a phenomenon was visible across nearly half of the Douluo Continent!!
