The Fourth Soul Ring

Lu Yuan was an exceptional case at the Shrek Academy because Flender and the others couldn't teach him anything, so they let him do as he pleased. His cultivation plan and everything else were all arranged by Lu Yuan himself.

After all, with Lu Yuan's combat strength, he can be considered the third strongest in Shrek. Apart from Flender and Zhao Wuji, the other teachers, such as Li Yusong and Lu Qibin, are no match for Lu Yuan.

As for why he said that, it was Lu Yuan's combat prowess over the past year that proved it.

Both Li Yusong and Lu Qibin were defeated by him.

As for Flender, Lu Yuan had never fought him. He could fly and dodge around, which Lu Yuan didn't like. He preferred a strength-type Soul Master like Zhao Wuji.

There's no need for any nonsense when it comes to fighting; it's all about charging in. Every punch feels real and satisfying.

Over the past year, Lu Yuan has frequently fought with Zhao Wuji, and their relationship has grown closer through these battles.

Zhao Wuji is also a battle maniac. Haven't you heard his nickname is Immovable Wisdom King? It's actually very simple to be friends with someone like that. Just fight a few rounds, and then get together to drink and eat barbecue whenever you have free time.

Over the past year, Lu Yuan and Zhao Wuji have gotten along quite well.

At least regarding Zhao Wuji, Lu Yuan was confident that if he and Tang San fell out in the future, Zhao Wuji would definitely help him.

At worst, we won't help each other!

As for Flender, Lu Yuan wasn't very confident, because his relationship with Grandmaster was too close, and it would be difficult to break it.

However, if handled properly, it's not impossible to prevent Flender from helping Tang San, but it's a bit troublesome, and Lu Yuan is too lazy to put in that much effort.

Aside from Liu Erlong, Flender's most valued possession in his life was Shrek Academy. If we start from this aspect, it's not impossible to keep Flender neutral.

Without the support of the Shrek Academy, Tang San is truly not far from being all alone!

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt a little happy.

He just wanted to see Tang San betrayed and abandoned by his followers.

Upon entering the college, it was completely empty!

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered that Dai Mubai should be at the Great Spirit Arena Soul Fighting Ma Hongjun at this time. Anyway, besides running, that's all that Shrek Academy trains do.

As for the battles between students, Ma Hongjun is clearly no match for Dai Mubai. After all, Ma Hongjun is currently level 28 while Dai Mubai is level 37, which is quite a big difference.

Although Lu Yuan and Dai Mubai are at the same level, Dai Mubai dares not fight Lu Yuan. With Lu Yuan's current strength, he doesn't even need his Martial Soul to deal with him; a single punch would be enough to kill him half to death. The difference in strength is too great.

Therefore, if they want to hone their combat skills, they can only go to the Great Soul Arena.

Of course, Lu Yuan had also been to the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City over the past year, but he either participated in one-on-seven battles against Soul King teams or one-on-two Battle Soul Emperor and Soul Ancestor. He had no interest in those.

Only this kind of fighting is truly exciting!

Although every victory is hard-won, especially at the beginning, it is extremely difficult and requires a variety of tactics to win.

Later on, winning became easier; at least, he hadn't lost a single game that year.

The original Purple-Gold Badge has been replaced with Sapphire Badge.

There was no way around it; the score for challenging opponents of higher ranks was too high, especially since Lu Yuan was challenging opponents two or even three ranks higher, and he was fighting against many opponents single-handedly. The score was even higher. Even though Lu Yuan didn't participate many times, the score still earned him the Sapphire Badge.

Lu Yuan is the first person in the history of the Great Spirit Arena to obtain the Sapphire Badge with a Soul Power of Level 40. This does not refer to the Soto Great Soul Arena, but to all the Great Soul Arena on the entire continent.

It can be said that this has made history!

With no one else in the academy, Lu Yuan went straight back to his small house.

First, he washed himself, since he was covered in sweat. Although he was handsome, his sweat still smelled bad.

After taking a cold shower, Lu Yuan felt much more refreshed and prepared to begin absorbing his fourth Soul Ring.

He had suppressed his cultivation level for too long in a year. Too much of a good thing can be bad; suppressing it for too long is not a good thing.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Yuan secretly contacted the system: "System, extract the Soul Ring!"

According to the system rules, treasure chest rewards are only kept for three days and must be opened within three days, otherwise they will expire.

However, once activated, it can be stored for a long time even if it is not used. This Soul Ring is also ordinary, as it is a reward that is directly given. Although Lu Yuan did not use it, it has been stored in the system.

As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, a black Soul Ring appeared above his head, and streams of energy surged from the Lu Yuan on the top of his head into Lu Yuan body.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and began circulating the Qingqi Sutra.

The Soul Ring produced by the absorption system have one advantage over Soul Ring from hunting Soul Beast: they contain no resentment, let alone Soul Ring Soul Shock; they only contain pure energy.

In other words, this time absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring does not require a high level of mental strength; rather, it depends entirely on how far Lu Yuan's physical body can withstand it.

This Soul Ring is Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring with no upper limit, reaching a maximum of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years. It is somewhat similar to God-Given Soul Ring. Although it cannot reach the level of one hundred thousand years or more like God-Given Soul Ring, it is actually the same in terms of being suitable for oneself.

After all, for Lu Yuan at present, this unlimited Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is almost the same as God-Given Soul Ring, because Lu Yuan's tolerance limit is far from reaching the Soul Ring's absorption limit.

The black Soul Ring emitted a deep, eerie light. As Lu Yuan continued to absorb it, the black Soul Ring above his head seemed to grow even darker, indicating that the age of Lu Yuan's Soul Ring Lifespan was increasing.

At least for now, it's already much darker than Lu Yuan's Second Soul Ring.

The powerful Soul Ring energy flowed through Lu Yuan's body. Lu Yuan's Qingqi Sutra and Soul Power surged wildly towards this Soul Ring energy like sharks smelling blood, and began to refine it rapidly.

The Golden Dragon Spirit emitted a loud dragon roar, and the entire cabin was completely covered by golden light. Amidst the endless golden light, the black Soul Ring emitted a ghostly glow!

One hour later!

Sweat dripped from Lu Yuan's forehead, his face flushed red, and veins bulged on his neck—signs that he was nearing his limit and on the verge of collapse.

"I've reached my true limit, I can't afford to be reckless anymore!" Lu Yuan sighed inwardly. Although his physical body was strong, if he continued to push for even higher lifespans, he was very likely to explode.

He immediately stopped trying to increase his age and instead focused on refining the energy of the Soul Ring. The sweat on his forehead and the bulging veins on his neck gradually subsided, and his flushed face returned to normal. The absorption of the Soul Ring was back on track.
