Give the Silver Dragon King My Regards

"Phew."

The young man exhaled a faint mist, slowly opening his eyes.

"Only ten thousand years?"

Su Chen clenched his fists, feeling the sudden surge of power within him. Looking at the black soul ring floating around his body, he smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Big brother, do you even know what you're saying? You're only a Soul Grandmaster. A ten-thousand-year ring is already ridiculously terrifying, okay?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's somewhat speechless complaint echoed in his mind.

Who knew what the hell his big brother's physical and mental strength even were? A first ring at a thousand years was already outrageous enough, yet he could actually withstand a second ring at ten thousand years!

Looking at this spiritual world that was practically indistinguishable from reality—a vast village rendered down to the finest detail—Tian Meng truly began to question its life.

Was this really the spiritual strength a Soul Grandmaster should possess?

Perhaps its big brother really was the reincarnation of some God?

It just did not know why there were four ugly statues carved into the cliff behind such a nice village.

Tian Meng was extremely curious about this place.

"You're right."

Su Chen laughed helplessly.

He had originally wanted to try twenty thousand years, but his physical strength simply was not enough. Ten thousand years was already the absolute limit.

But—

The silver-haired youth slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, they had become a pure jade white!

A brilliant azure gleam flashed through his lustrous white eyes. The suddenly sharpened scene before him left Su Chen slightly unaccustomed to it.

It was like going from 1080p to 2K. Both the range and depth of clarity of his Byakugan's vision had improved tremendously.

And that was not all.

The youth closed and opened his eyes once more. The white faded, replaced by an ominous blood-red.

The single tomoe that had once stood alone had become three tomoe!

Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

Under normal circumstances, this was the highest level an Uchiha's Sharingan could reach. No matter how ordinary someone was, possessing a Three-Tomoe Sharingan meant they had the strength of a Jonin!

Neural reactions, replication, copying—the power of every genjutsu cast through these eyes would be greatly enhanced!

"Just as expected."

Feeling his mind suddenly become dozens of times clearer, Su Chen's lips curled into a pleased smile.

The evolution of the Sharingan was nothing more than mental stimulation, but it did not necessarily have to be painful stimulation. As long as it caused intense emotional fluctuations, it could promote the Sharingan's evolution.

Of course, through his research, Su Chen had discovered an even simpler method: directly increasing one's mental strength.

Thus, after absorbing Tian Meng, a soul beast with exceptionally high mental strength, his Sharingan had naturally evolved into the Three Tomoe.

As for the higher-level Mangekyō Sharingan, it could not be awakened through mental strength alone. It required something far rarer.

"System, display the panel."

The youth muttered inwardly, and a screen visible only to him unfolded before his eyes.

His Life Energy and Mental Energy had nearly doubled!

His Sharingan had evolved into the Three Tomoe, while his Byakugan had been greatly strengthened!

It was no exaggeration to say that the current Su Chen could utterly crush the thousand-year wolf from before with ordinary taijutsu alone, even without activating Lin Dragon's Armor or the Eight Inner Gates.

As for dealing with that Soul Elder of an Iron Horned Mad Rhino, if the opponent was unprepared, he could even use the Sharingan to end the battle instantly!

Licking his slightly dry lips, the youth shifted his gaze to his soul skills, his heart beginning to race uncontrollably.

Spiritual Detection possessed powerful penetration and microscopic analytical abilities. It could make up for the final shortcoming of his Byakugan. From this point on, Su Chen could truly be said to have no weaknesses whatsoever when it came to reconnaissance.

Spiritual Sharing was similar to telepathic communication. If he wanted to establish a force in the future, this ability to transmit information instantly would be indispensable.

Spiritual Interference and Soul Impact, meanwhile, would become exceptionally terrifying when enhanced by the Sharingan!

Of course, what excited Su Chen the most was the newly acquired Soul Power attribute.

Water!

He could freely use Water Release ninjutsu!

There was no doubt about it. Every one of his deductions had been correct so far!

To use Five Elements Release, he first had to obtain a soul ring with the corresponding attribute.

As for why Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, an ice-attributed soul beast, could grant Water-attributed Chakra, it was because ice itself was formed from a combination of water and wind. At the time, he could freely choose to fuse with either water or wind.

However, compared to water, the wind attribute within Tian Meng was not as abundant, and his second soul ring being water had long since been decided.

The facts proved that he had succeeded!

"Phew. Calm down, calm down. Right now, I should first figure out how to deal with the situation in front of me."

Su Chen took a deep breath and calmed his excited emotions.

Within his senses, two incomparably terrifying fluctuations of Soul Power were rapidly approaching him.

The aura they emitted made his skin sting in waves even from a thousand meters away.

"Boom!!!"

In just three breaths, two figures that blotted out the sky crashed down amid a deafening explosion, smashing a massive crater dozens of meters wide into the ground.

Amid the rising smoke, several enormous blood-red beast eyes, each like a drum, stared fixedly at the tiny silver-haired youth.

Lord Bear and Scarlet King had arrived!!

"No wonder we couldn't find you. So Tian Meng, that traitorous bastard, was helping you."

A deep voice came from Lord Bear's hill-like body. Though he had been enraged moments ago, he now appeared exceptionally calm.

But only those familiar with him knew that this was a sign that Lord Bear's fury had reached its peak.

Within the Sea of Spirit, in Konoha Village, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm curled up in a corner, trembling from head to toe.

Lord Bear's terrifying presence made it recall the fear of the past.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Big brother—big brother said he has a way. Big brother said he has a way..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shuddered as it repeatedly comforted itself, too afraid to look at the outside world.

Yet from time to time, it still glanced toward that youth, who remained as composed as ever.

For some reason, the fear in its heart eased considerably.

"Stealing the supplement meant for Her Excellency would have been bad enough, but today, you even absorbed Tian Meng. Good. Very good. Very good indeed!!!"

Scarlet King's teeth ground together, and even its muscular body began to tremble without end.

Losing the supplement would at most earn it a scolding. But if Tian Meng was gone—

It could not imagine what punishment it would receive.

The moment it thought of those terrifying consequences, Scarlet King's aura abruptly became unstable. The killing intent in its six eyes was so intense it seemed almost tangible.

"Silver-haired brat, you deserve to die!!"

"Killing you a thousand times still wouldn't be enough!!"

The two ferocious beasts began closing in step by step. The pressure brought by their locked auras alone made Su Chen feel suffocated and dizzy. Had his Spiritual Power not increased so dramatically, he would have fainted already.

And perhaps because they believed Su Chen could no longer escape, neither beast released any pressure. Clearly, they feared killing him outright.

They wanted to tear him apart alive.

"The gap really isn't ordinary."

The silver-haired youth gently wiped the sweat from his brow. The slight swell of confidence brought by his explosive increase in strength swiftly vanished without a trace.

That was right. Whether it was a thousand years or ten thousand years, level ten or level twenty, there was no difference at all before these two.

Fortunately, he had never intended to rely on that to leave this place.

The youth smiled faintly and raised a hand.

"You two, I have something to say."

The two giant beasts stopped.

At this point, they would have been delighted to see this brat, who had remained calm all along, break down in tears and howl as he begged for mercy. It would ease their foul moods a little.

Yet the silver-haired boy still wore that irritating smile, exactly like the one he had worn when he attacked them before.

"I'll give you three seconds to leave your last words or beg for mercy. Then, perhaps, I'll let you die a little quicker."

Lord Bear said coldly.

"No, no, no. I only have one sentence to say."

Su Chen waved a hand and began walking toward the two giant beasts.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The sight made Sky Dream Ice Silkworm go limp within the Sea of Spirit, nearly fainting on the spot.

Finally, he stopped beneath the feet of the two beasts.

Lord Bear and Scarlet King both looked down at the tiny human with uncertainty. For some reason, they each had an ominous feeling.

"You two."

The silver-haired youth's lips curved upward, and a gleam flashed through his blood-red eyes.

"Please give the Silver Dragon King my regards."
