Zhuqing's Third Soul Ring, Xiao Wu!? [4K]

Early the next morning.

As dawn broke, Tang Wulin had already left his room and gathered with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Good morning, Brother Tang.

"Wulin, good morning."

Upon seeing him, both men greeted him with smiles, but their demeanor was completely different from that of yesterday.

Ning Rongrong wore a beautiful smile, while Zhu Zhuqing's expression seemed somewhat unusual.

Good morning, Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what's wrong?"

However, as soon as he joined the two, Tang Wulin noticed Zhu Zhuqing's visibly cold expression and asked softly.

"It's nothing, Wulin."

"I was just thinking about some things."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly shook her head, clearly not wanting the other person to worry too much about her.

"Hmm... let's go out first."

"The three seniors should already be waiting."

Tang Wulin stepped forward and gently took her hand, smiling as he spoke.

"Okay! Let's go."

Holding hands with the other person, Zhu Zhuqing felt relaxed and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, who had previously felt like a third wheel, now had a smile on her face, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.

It seems that Zhu Zhuqing has taken my words to heart!

As long as Zhu Zhuqing listens to advice, becoming true sisters with her will be a natural progression, soon, very soon!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but skip and jump around a bit, which was not at all like what a single person should do.

When Tang Wulin and his two companions arrived at the hotel entrance, they saw two figures who seemed to have been waiting for quite some time.

It was none other than the Azure Douluo Dugu Bo and the Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

A level 95 Titled Douluo and a level 96 Titled Douluo —it's already rare to find even one of these level of powerhouses hunting Soul Beasts, let alone two.

"Your Highness, we should go."

Looking at Tang Wulin and the other two in front of him, Dugu Bo stepped forward with a friendly smile and said respectfully.

"Hasn't Senior Ye arrived yet?"

Seeing that one person was missing, Tang Wulin couldn't help but ask in confusion, as could Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong beside him.

"Your Highness, Patriarch Ye Family is hunting for his Eighth Soul Ring, which requires an age of over 70,000 years. It would be inconvenient to bring the three of you along, so the two of us plan to take you with us to hunt for Soul Rings first."

Dugu Bo and Gu Rong exchanged a glance and both smiled as they spoke.

Hunting for the Eighth Soul Ring is on a completely different level of danger compared to hunting for the third or Fifth Soul Ring, so they naturally wouldn't take the three of them to such a dangerous place.

Moreover, the importance of these three people is clearly not on the same level as that of Ye Lianci.

"Um...?"

"Alright."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin smiled and nodded. Indeed, as the two of them thought, taking them to the inner circle was indeed somewhat dangerous.

"But I want to hunt down the Soul Ring."

"And it won't be much more than Senior Ye's either."

For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"Hmm... that seems to be true."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong blinked, Dugu Bo beside him seemed to realize something, but neither of them said anything.

Can Ye Lianci compare to His Highness?

"Next... Your Highness, Miss Zhu Zhuqing, I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Dugu Bo quickly came to his senses. As he spoke, his Soul Power carried him, Tang Wulin, and Zhu Zhuqing towards the distant Star Dou Great Forest.

"Rongrong, let's go too."

Gu Rong, accompanied by her little princess, followed along, flashing past like a shooting star.

For those with powerful cultivation levels, even though this place is fifty kilometers away from the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, it won't take them long at all.

"Teacher Zhao, who was that person who just flew by?"

On land, the Shrek group, who had set off early for the Star Dou Great Forest, were still walking. Tang San glanced at the figure flying overhead and couldn't help but ask.

"Without wings, walking on air..."

"Xiao San, that's a genius from a powerful family hunting Soul Beasts. Only Titled Douluo can achieve that kind of speed."

Zhao Wuji also glanced at the departing figure, his face showing a visible sigh of emotion. When would he, Old Zhao, be able to become Titled Douluo?

Perhaps, I'll be able to achieve it in my lifetime!

"Titled Douluo..."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's throat bobbed slightly. He remembered that Tang Wulin's teacher was Titled Douluo, and that's probably how Tang Wulin usually acquired his Soul Rings.

But his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was just a...

Thinking of this, it would be a lie to say Tang San remained silent. After all, even when he obtained his First Soul Ring, he had witnessed his teacher's combat strength firsthand, finding it inferior even to the hidden sword...

"There's nothing to envy about being Xiao San mistress."

"Our Shrek monsters also possess top-tier talent in this world, and they too can become Titled Douluos in the future!"

Beside him, Dai Mubai put his arm around his shoulder.

"That is!"

"Our talent is by no means lacking."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun both spoke loudly.

"That's true."

"After returning from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, we'll prepare for the Soul Master Tournament over the next two years. We're sure to shine!"

Tang San smiled and responded firmly.

He still needs to prove himself to Xiao Wu and promote the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons in the Douluo Continent. He has a long way to go!

Tang Wulin, we'll see!

"It's Xiao Wu..."

When will I be able to see him?

A hint of melancholy flickered in Tang San's eyes as he couldn't help but speak.

He will definitely win Xiao Wu back!

"..."

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu was sitting on the shoulder of the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, preparing to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

She was undoubtedly in a good mood, with a beautiful smile on her face, but she suddenly sneezed.

"Ah-pee!"

"Um...?"

"Who's talking bad about me!"

A moment of blankness flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes, then her eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

First, we can rule out Wulin Wulin, as he only speaks well of himself. Next are Zhu Zhuqing and Rongrong, so it must be...

"It must be Tang San."

"He was so annoying back in Nuoding City, he must have been talking badly about me again."

"We must beat him to a pulp together with Wulin someday!"

Xiao Wu's face was puffed up with anger as she muttered to herself.

"Sister Xiao Wu, you and this good friend named Wulin are really close."

At this moment, as Er Ming moved forward, he couldn't help but mutter to himself in thought.

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded immediately, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and her smile became sweet.

She and Wulin are a perfect match...

No, why would she think of a perfect match! Suddenly, a blush appeared on Xiao Wu's face.

"I'd completely forgotten, but the night Sister Xiao Wu came back, she dreamt about Wulin several times."

"And they even said Wulin can't, did he do something to offend Sister Xiao Wu...?"

Titan Giant Ape Er Ming spoke in silence.

"What?"

"I don't remember this at all."

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say that she didn't remember having such a dream at all, wait...

But soon, something popped into her head, and her face flushed red.

"It really exists."

"Sister Xiao Wu also said something about Wulin being unacceptable, that Wulin was the worst... and some other things I didn't understand."

As soon as Er Ming finished speaking, Xiao Wu stomped hard on Er Ming's shoulder.

"Stop talking!!"

"Just take me with you! It's not safe to talk and walk at the same time!"

Her face flushed red, and she said, both embarrassed and annoyed.

That dream was just an accident, okay?

"Oh, why did Sister Xiao Wu tickle me?"

Xiao Wu: "?"

"..."

On the other side...

Within minutes, Tang Wulin and his group had already arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

As the tall trees come into view, the primal scent of the forest washes over you.

"Star Dou Great Forest, I've returned."

However, as soon as they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, the rich life energy and natural atmosphere had already swept over them from all directions, and Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh.

Even though it wasn't his first time here, he couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration as he was enveloped by this energy.

As the place with the most diverse and widely distributed groups of Soul Beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest is undoubtedly number one.

Moreover, his Second Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, which possesses top-tier life attributes, giving him a far greater ability to sense nature in the Star Dou Great Forest than ordinary people.

Afterwards, Dugu Bo and Gu Rong continued until they reached the inner part of the outer perimeter of the Star Dou, where they slowly descended with the others and stopped on the ground.

"This is the central part of the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Next, let's hunt for suitable Third Soul Rings for Rongrong and Miss Zhu Zhuqing."

Gu Rong and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance and spoke in unison.

After all, their cultivation levels were weaker, making it easier for them to find suitable Soul Beasts.

Tang Wulin naturally agreed with this, and his gaze had already turned to the two people beside him.

"My Third Soul Ring acquisition strategy focuses on Agility Attack System, thousand-year-old Soul Beasts like the Shadow Leopard and Wind Demon Wolf..."

"My Third Soul Ring will definitely be one that improves defensive attributes; something like the Thousand-Year-Old Blackwater Turtle would be fine."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong slowly spoke, revealing their goals that they had already considered. Their ideas for the Third Soul Ring were naturally already decided long ago.

However, there is now more room for improvement in terms of the age limit.

"Elder Venom, Senior Gu, let's search for these two types of Soul Beasts first, between 2,500 and 3,200 years ago."

At this moment, Tang Wulin also said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness..."

"Wait, how much?"

Dugu Bo and Gu Rong didn't understand, but soon, the latter frowned and couldn't help but speak up.

"From two thousand five hundred years to three thousand two hundred years!"

"Your Highness, apart from you, among the best Soul Ring combinations in the Soul Master World, the limit for the Third Soul Ring is only 1700 years, which is almost double!"

Gu Rong looked in Tang Wulin's direction and couldn't help but say.

Although he knew that His Highness Wulin's Soul Ring combination was unusual, it didn't mean that the two little girls could do the same.

"Rongrong, haven't you told Senior Bone yet?"

Tang Wulin was taken aback upon seeing this, then turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong's location and asked.

"Um..."

"I forgot."

Ning Rongrong nodded somewhat shyly.

Yesterday she was so focused on her relationship with Zhu Zhuqing that she didn't have a chance to tell him about this.

"Grandpa Bone, it's like this..."

Immediately, she spoke up and told the other party that she had taken Whale Rubber, and the latter's expression became even more astonished and shocked.

"Consuming Whale Rubber enhances physical strength, and can even increase the maximum age limit for absorbing Soul Rings..."

"This... Your Highness, is this true?!"

Gu Rong's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Senior Bone, my ability to absorb Soul Rings beyond my level isn't just due to my strong physical attributes; this is also a factor."

"Furthermore, Elder Venom's words are quite convincing."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly, then looked in the direction of Dugu Bo, who also smiled knowingly.

Elder Bone.

"My granddaughter's Fourth Soul Ring is also ten thousand years old."

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong was so shocked that he was at a loss for words. What horrified him most was that His Highness the Holy Son had told this to this elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School.

Is it simply because they are on good terms with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...?

What a grand vision!

At that moment, Gu Rong felt that even if Rongrong became the concubine, it might not be so bad...

"..."

For the rest of the time, everyone walked slowly through the Star Dou Great Forest, after all, finding a suitable Soul Beast was no easy task.

It's no joke that it can take a day or two.

"Miss Zhu Zhuqing."

"According to Your Highness, your Third Soul Ring can last for over 3,200 years, then..."

But soon, Dugu Bo's gaze sharpened, as if he had sensed some kind of Soul Beast, and he said with a chuckle.

"Hmm? Yes..."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, but before he could finish speaking, Dugu Bo rushed off like the wind, and the next moment, he had a leopard that had fainted firmly in his hand.

It was the Shadow Leopard, a thousand-year-old Soul Beast with a cultivation level exceeding three thousand years.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were both stunned.

So fast?

"Just over three thousand years ago..."

"I didn't expect to meet such a suitable person so soon after arriving."

Even Tang Wulin was taken aback. Looking at the Soul Beast before him, whose age was so suitable, he couldn't help but smile and say...

"So I can hunt for Soul Rings now?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened expectantly.

Break through level 30!

Her long-awaited dream of becoming Soul Elder has finally come true!

"Zhu Zhuqing, go quickly..."

Tang Wulin smiled gently and said softly.

"Okay!"

"Netherworld Slash!"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately responded with a smile, and then, without the slightest hesitation, instantly released her Martial Soul.

Soon after, as the claws robbed the Shadow Leopard of its life force, a purple Soul Ring suddenly appeared.

Zhu Zhuqing instantly sat cross-legged on the ground and began absorbing the Soul Ring in front of her.

"A three-thousand-year-old Soul Ring..."

Ning Rongrong looked on with a hint of envy. She hadn't expected that Zhu Zhuqing would not only catch up with Brother Tang so quickly, but also become Soul Elder so fast!

They haven't even been in the forest for an hour yet!

"This is all thanks to Elder Venom."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly. Judging from this, Dugu Bo deserves an extra chicken leg!

"Hehe, no, no..."

"It's quite a coincidence."

"This leopard was chasing a little girl, but I just happened to intercept it, hahaha."

Dugu Bo chuckled, his tail already wagging high from the prince's praise, but he still spoke modestly.

"Um?"

"A little girl...?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was immediately taken aback.

"What luck! I thought I'd be stuck with that leopard for a while, but I didn't expect..."

Just then, not far from the group, in the direction Dugu Bo had come from, Xiao Wu walked out with a smile on her face, muttering to herself.

"This is...?"

Upon seeing her appearance, Tang Wulin was stunned, and Ning Rongrong beside him also froze on the spot.

"Xiao Wu!"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but exclaim with delight.

"Um?..."

"Wulin!?"
