Absorbing Soul Rings

Ye Junqing and Tang Yunqing stared at the blue-gold blade of grass in their son's hand and the six Soul Rings beneath his feet—five black and one red—and fell into deep thought.

Ye Junqing and Tang Yunqing: This son of ours was way too monstrous. Wouldn't his strength be heaven-defying?!

After composing himself, Ye Junqing spoke.

"Son, aren't all six of your Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Skills the same as Tang San's?"

"Other than the Sixth Soul Skill, they're all the same."

Ye Junqing nodded for Ye Lei to continue. Ye Lei withdrew the Blue Silver Emperor and summoned the Flame Lord.

The Flame Lord's appearance brought warmth to the previously frigid room.

Ye Junqing and Tang Yunqing stared at the Flame Lord behind Ye Lei and the three black Soul Rings beneath his feet, falling into thought once more.

"Oh, right, Dad, Mom. Your Soul Power Levels have both reached level 15, so you can absorb Soul Rings now. I have some in stock here—pick whichever ones you like!"

With that, Ye Lei directly dumped several hundred Soul Rings obtained from the previous beast tide out of the System Space.

Crash.

In an instant, hundreds of yellow and purple Soul Rings appeared out of thin air in the room as though by magic.

"Th-These... these are all yours, son? H-How did you get so many Soul Rings?"

Ye Junqing stared wide-eyed at the massive pile of Soul Rings before him. As a die-hard fan of Douluo just like Ye Lei, he naturally knew what these Soul Rings represented. While hunting hundred-year soul beasts was effortless for Ye Lei, and even thousand-year soul beasts were no exception, there was no way he could have obtained this many Soul Rings by the third day after the two worlds had merged.

"Dad, do you remember the soul beast tide that happened in our city yesterday?"

"I remember. A soul beast tide suddenly appeared near Taihe Plaza and injured countless people. Someone took photos—it was resolved by a young man..."

Before Ye Junqing could finish, he abruptly looked up at his son.

"Don't tell me that young man was you?"

Ye Lei smiled at Ye Junqing and nodded in confirmation.

"No wonder. Now I can rest easy."

After all, these were Soul Rings his son had obtained, so he could absorb them without worry. With that thought, Ye Junqing crouched down and began rummaging through the pile for a suitable Soul Ring.

As a die-hard fan of Douluo, Ye Junqing naturally knew how to choose a Soul Ring that suited him. Tang Yunqing, however, was different. Since she had never read Douluo, she had no idea which Soul Ring to choose from this pile.

Crouching on the ground, Tang Yunqing had no idea which one to pick. After looking for a long time, she finally reached for a yellow Soul Ring.

Ye Lei happened to glance over. When he saw the Soul Ring his mother was about to take, he hurriedly stopped her.

"Mom, absolutely not. That Soul Ring came from a Fire Attribute Flame Leopard, while your martial soul, the Ice Thorn Sawfish, is Ice Attribute. Their attributes clash! Wait a moment, Mom, I'll help you look... This one is good."

Ye Lei searched through the pile of Soul Rings for a while before finally fixing his gaze on a pale purple Soul Ring. He used Blue Silver Emperor Vines to bring it over.

"Mom, this Soul Ring came from a 1,200-year-old Frost Wind Phantom Dragon. Its attribute matches your martial soul, and it's the most suitable Soul Ring here for you—bar none."

With that, Ye Lei handed the Soul Ring to Tang Yunqing, then turned his gaze toward Ye Junqing.

By then, Father Ye had already taken a purple Soul Ring from the pile.

Ye Lei focused his eyes on it.

A Frost Snow Leopard, 1,200 years old. It was indeed suitable for his father's Nine-Tailed Profound Ice Wolf martial soul.
