As everyone knew, soul rings on the Douluo Continent came in only five colors: white for ten years, yellow for a hundred years, purple for a thousand years, black for ten thousand years, and red for a hundred thousand years.

There were still no records of the legendary million-year soul rings.

Yet no one would believe that a million-year soul ring could be cyan, white, orange, or even multicolored!

Were those really soul rings from the Douluo Continent?

The men in black from the Star Luo Empire were all dumbfounded. They stared unblinkingly at the six soul rings in the courtyard, only snapping out of it after a long while.

"W-What kind of joke is this? Does he have some soul skill similar to mimicry? Otherwise, how could this be possible...?"

"The aura he's giving off terrifies me even from here. Do you really think it's fake? What Soul Emperor could possibly be as terrifying as him?"

"But... what's with the cyan soul rings?"

The men in black rubbed their eyes several times, still not daring to believe what they saw.

They were even less willing to act rashly now. This man was far too strange!

"Still, according to our investigation, he isn't an evil person. The Third Prince Consort has taken him as her master, so... she shouldn't be in any danger, right?"

"That's right, that's right. We only need to guard her from the sidelines!"

"We'll wait until someone from the Zhu Family arrives before discussing anything else!"

The men in black quickly reached a consensus.

In another patch of shadow, smack!

The three sleazebags each slapped one another across the face.

All three of their cheeks swelled on one side.

"Was that fucking real?"

"There are actually cyan soul rings in this world? Isn't that too ridiculous?"

"Damn it, Bu Le, you've gotten us into huge trouble!"

The three whispered in alarm.

Even setting the soul rings aside, the pressure radiating from the Azure Dragon Head above Dan Heng's head alone was enough to make them tremble.

Tian Ya and E Kao had both begun blaming Bu Le.

They believed that Bu Le's reckless lead had caused them to provoke such a powerful expert.

They no longer had the slightest thought of resisting.

Run?

They didn't want to die!

Bu Le wore a miserable expression as he stammered, "I... I didn't expect this either. Forget it. Let's obediently go over this afternoon..."

The three sleazebags fled in panic.

In the courtyard.

Dan Heng glanced in the direction of the two groups. Since they weren't affecting his life, he couldn't be bothered to drive them away.

He raised his head and looked at the lifelike Azure Dragon Head. Its eyes seemed to be looking back at him.

A ripple stirred in his heart. He had actually seen "Dan Feng" more than once.

Those urging, stern words had made him feel as though thorns were pressing against his back.

Many people believed, and insisted, that he was Dan Feng, the Vidya-dhara Dragon Lord. But he had never thought so.

He was Dan Heng, a new individual. That might have been his past, but it absolutely could not be treated as the same.

He let out a soft breath. The Azure Dragon Head above him turned into watery mist and dispersed, and the six soul rings vanished as well.

Only then did Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing come back to their senses.

Gu Yuena sat up and grabbed Dan Heng's arm. Her eyes shone brightly, as if they held a sea of stars, as she asked curiously, "Husband, what was going on with those soul rings?"

She could understand the red hundred-thousand-year soul ring, but what were those other colors?

Possessing the Dragon God's wisdom also gave her an intense curiosity.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dan Heng with the same curiosity. That overwhelmingly powerful martial soul had completely conquered her heart, while the six soul rings possessed an even more alluring mystery.

Dan Heng put down his book. With Gu Yuena shaking his arm like that, he could barely read.

"They were some of my explorations into soul rings. Cyan was a soul ring from an ancient exotic beast. White was a soul ring I generated myself. Orange was a soul ring I upgraded to the level of seven hundred thousand years. Multicolored was a soul ring jointly produced by a group of soul beasts."

Dan Heng explained briefly, without going into detail.

He would not slaughter weak soul beasts merely for his own strength, but if soul beasts took the initiative to attack him, that was another matter.

Gu Yuena did not care about any of that. Her little mouth hung open as she stared at Dan Heng in shock.

"What... are you even talking about?"

Even with Gu Yuena's intelligence, she was a little confused. Soul masters had always obtained soul rings by hunting a single soul beast. Where had Dan Heng come up with all these strange tricks?

The corner of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth twitched slightly. She wanted to complain as well.

But recalling the pressure released by those four soul rings just now, aside from the white one, every other soul ring had been stronger than a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

In other words, Teacher Dan Heng's experiment had succeeded!

Dan Heng looked at their astonished expressions and shook his head slightly.

Although he had been a guard on the Express, he had also been responsible for the databank. Because he was accustomed to reading and had learned by exposure, he might not have been as outstanding in research as others, but on the Douluo Continent...

He could perhaps call himself a Master as well.

He was merely making some attempts. It was not as though it was anything particularly difficult.

"Husband, you're amazing!" Gu Yuena suddenly pounced on Dan Heng, half her body pressing down on him.

The rocking chair nearly tipped backward under the weight.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing hurried behind it and held it steady.

Gu Yuena's graceful body pressed against Dan Heng's chest, making his face heat slightly. He was not accustomed to such intimate contact.

He changed the subject and handed the book to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Practice meditation according to this now."

Dan Heng stood up and placed Gu Yuena, who was clinging to him like a koala, back onto her original recliner.

Gu Yuena looked at him with her bright, beautiful eyes, a hint of slyness flashing within them.

Zhu Zhuqing examined the contents of the book, paying no attention to the flirtation between her master and Master's Wife.

When she saw that the Meditation Technique had been altered beyond recognition, Zhu Zhuqing felt anxious. But after circulating it as instructed, delight appeared on her face. She looked up at Dan Heng, opening her mouth as though she wanted to speak.

Gu Yuena glanced at it. After seeing the contents of the book, she shot Dan Heng a reproachful look.

"Honestly, you've completely ruined Zhu Zhuqing's Meditation Technique."

Gu Yuena turned back to Zhu Zhuqing and said smugly, "Don't worry, Zhu Zhuqing. Once Master's Wife revises it for you, it'll be fine. Your master isn't reliable, but Master's Wife is very capable!"

"No, that's not it!"

Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red as she said excitedly, "The Meditation Technique Master revised for me is... is three times faster than before!"

Zhu Zhuqing could no longer hold herself back. The Zhu Family's Meditation Technique had been passed down for over a thousand years, a foundation they had always been proud of.

Yet in less than a day, Teacher had altered it into this.

Compared to him, the Zhu Family's figures throughout the past thousand years seemed like fools!

With this Meditation Technique, her cultivation would definitely become much faster!

"Three times? And it's only been how long?" Gu Yuena could not believe it. Even with her intelligence, she could not accomplish such a thing. How could her husband possibly be more capable than she was?

Gu Yuena took the book and looked at the Meditation Technique written inside, her face reddening slightly.

If it had been her, she absolutely could not have done it.

She had even doubted Dan Heng earlier and thought she would need to cover for him. Looking back on it now, it was utterly ridiculous!

"I'm going to cook!"

Gu Yuena stuffed the book back into Zhu Zhuqing's hands, lowered her head, and hurried into the kitchen.
