Chapter 174: After modification: Chapter 139 Giant Divine Soldier Acknowledges Master, Terrifying Amplification, Lu Sheng’s Thoughts!

Listening to Du Bai’s words, Lu Sheng’s pupils slightly contracted. He suddenly looked at the silver ring, then raised his head, looking at Du Bai with confusion.

"Senior Brother Du Bai, this is..."

Lu Sheng never expected that Du Bai would hand over the control of the Giant Divine Soldier to him.

One must know that Du Bai spent thirty years, scrimping and saving, to build this Giant Divine Soldier.

Lu Sheng could even recall the scene when Du Bai hitched rides. Back then, though tattered, Du Bai’s eyes were filled with rays of hope.

And now...

Even though Du Bai’s clothes were much tidier, the faint aura emanating from him, and the somewhat dejected look...

were vastly different from before.

"Senior Brother, this is your hard work. If you give it to me, what about you?"

Lu Sheng spoke in a deep voice.

Earlier, when Du Bai returned, he sent a message saying he had a big gift for him. But Lu Sheng never expected the gift to be this huge!

"Without the Giant Divine Soldier... what will you do next?"

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but speak.

He still remembered when he first met Du Bai in the shelter. That was when Du Bai had just built the Giant Divine Soldier. Du Bai also shared his wish with Lu Sheng.

Du Bai... wanted to see the scenery of the sixth rank.

And without the Giant Divine Soldier, as a martial artist of the New Martial Sect, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult for Du Bai to reach the sixth rank on his own.

"I’m already crippled!"

Just as Lu Sheng wanted to continue speaking, Du Bai took a sip of white liquor and slowly began to speak.

Lu Sheng’s mind slightly shook, and he couldn’t help but look at Du Bai.

He heard Du Bai continue.

"Being entangled by the Space Soul Race, their attacks have damaged my Divine Soul. And you know, to break through from the fourth to the fifth rank, powerful vitality and a strong Divine Soul are essential."

"Now that my Divine Soul is damaged, it can’t improve further. In other words... my path to the fifth rank... has been cut off!"

Du Bai said expressionlessly, but Lu Sheng could see a hint of unwillingness in Du Bai’s eyes.

Divine Soul damaged, path to the fifth rank cut off.

Even Lu Sheng didn’t know what to say.

"Divine Soul damage should be recoverable with some precious materials."

Lu Sheng said softly.

But upon hearing these words, Du Bai revealed a bitter smile.

"That’s easier said than done. My Divine Soul has been severely damaged. The Space Soul Race’s attacks have destroyed at least half of my Divine Soul."

"For such a level of Divine Soul damage, without top-notch sixth rank soul-repairing treasures, there is no way to heal my Divine Soul injuries."

Lu Sheng’s lips moved, but no sound came out.

Top-notch sixth-rank soul-repairing treasures, how hard are those to come by?

Lu Sheng said nothing, but Du Bai started talking to himself: "Top-notch sixth-rank soul-repairing treasures are extremely precious, even to Senior Sister, Senior Brother Second, and Senior Brother Third. Any item from them would cost at least a million academic credits."

"Moreover, such treasures rarely appear on the market."

"Even if they exist, the factions prioritize providing them to sixth rank seniors. As for me..."

Du Bai smiled and took another sip of white liquor.

"There is no chance!"

Du Bai smiled, but his smile was filled with bitterness.

With a million academic credits, and the factions prioritizing sixth rank seniors, Du Bai had little hope left.

After all, Du Bai spent thirty years and thirty thousand credits to build the Giant Divine Soldier.

To gather a million credits would be nearly impossible in his lifetime. Not to mention, Du Bai’s strength had significantly declined.

This task became even harder.

Of course, as one of the top five research factions at Star River University, the Life Factions naturally had many top-notch sixth rank treasures.

However, the top-notch sixth rank treasures that could heal Divine Soul injuries were very few. The Life Factions may only have about a hundred such treasures per century. Besides, they prioritize providing to sixth rank students.

One could only obtain them by placing in the top hundred of the Life Factions’ grand competition.

But...

How difficult is it to break into the top hundred in the Life Factions’ grand competition?

The Life Factions have millions of students. While there may be only a handful of sixth ranks like Senior Sister, Senior Brother Second, and Senior Brother Third...

There are plenty of fifth-rank seniors.

Even in his prime, with the Giant Divine Soldier’s mid-stage tier-five combat strength, Du Bai would find it extremely difficult to break into the top hundred.

Let alone now.

Even if the Giant Divine Soldier remained intact, with Du Bai’s Divine Soul damaged and his strength reduced, he no longer had his prime combat strength.

The Giant Divine Soldier now hardly helped Du Bai.

One could say...

Du Bai no longer had any hope of obtaining such top-notch sixth rank Divine Soul treasures.

The path to the fifth rank... was cut off!

Lu Sheng remained silent. If Du Bai had any background, he might still have a chance to rely on such connections to obtain a top-notch sixth-rank Divine Soul treasure.
