Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Shocking the Entire Audience!

"I choose three."

Lin Xi murmured inwardly.

Without the slightest hesitation, without a moment's doubt.

The instant that thought settled, a terrifying energy beyond words suddenly awakened within her like a starry behemoth that had slumbered for billions of years!

Boom!!!

Her limbs, bones, and meridians were instantly washed over and remade by an immeasurable sacred aura! Her originally mere Level 2 Soul Power shot up crazily at an inconceivable speed, as though strapped to a rocket!

Level 3!

Level 5!

Level 8!

A bottleneck? It didn't exist!

Her Soul Power shattered the shackles of Level 10, reaching the realm of a Soul Master, yet it showed no sign of stopping!

Level 11... Level 15... Level 18...

In the end, without anyone noticing, that vast Soul Power steadily settled at the peak of Level 20!

God-Bestowed Full Soul Power, Level 20!

At the same time, the unremarkable silver needle in her palm underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

Buzz!

A soft hum rang out.

The plain silver-white needle suddenly burst forth with radiant divine light! Profound golden Divine Marks flowed and spread across its body, like the oldest imprints of law from the dawn of creation. At its tail, an exquisite twelve-petaled lotus pedestal quietly bloomed, emanating a terrifying aura capable of suppressing the souls of all heavens!

[Mysterious Sky Soul Suppressing Needle]!

Martial Soul Evolution complete!

At that moment, Lin Xi's temperament changed completely. She was still herself, yet she seemed no longer to be herself. A faint divine radiance enveloped her body; her skin was lustrous and pale as jade, her eyes cold as frost. She resembled an immortal banished from the Ninth Heavens into the mortal realm, untouched by worldly dust.

"Stop putting on an act!"

Lin Xi's unfamiliar gaze made Suo Tuo's heart skip a beat, but it was swiftly replaced by even greater fury. A lowborn girl with a Waste Spirit dared look at him like that?

"You think you're all that?!" he roared. His First Soul Ring lit up.

A white Soul Ring representing ten years shone forth. His hand transformed into a wolf claw, tearing toward Lin Xi's face viciously with a foul wind!

He wanted to slash apart that face which both stirred his heart and enraged him!

"Lin Xi, watch out!" Xiao Wu and Tang San cried out at the same time.

Yet Lin Xi merely stood quietly where she was, not even lifting an eyelid.

Just before those sharp wolf claws could touch her skin.

She moved.

There was no elaborate motion, no glow of a soul skill. She simply raised her right hand and flicked a finger casually.

A streak of silver light, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, flashed from her fingertips.

Slap!!!

An incomparably crisp and resounding slap suddenly rang across the entire square!

Time seemed to freeze at that instant.

Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before them.

Suo Tuo, who had been so aggressive a moment ago, now looked as if he had been struck head-on by a charging Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. His entire body flew backward in an utterly pathetic posture!

He spun seven hundred and twenty degrees through the air, scattering several bloodied teeth, before finally crashing into a stone pillar more than ten meters away with a bang. He then slid down like mud, his fate unknown.

On his fairly handsome face, a distinct red handprint swelled at a visible rate, instantly turning his face into a pig's head.

The entire venue fell dead silent.

A needle could have been heard dropping.

Every student who had mocked Lin Xi looked like ducks with their throats clutched. Their mouths hung open, their eyes bulged wide, and their faces were filled with endless shock and disbelief.

What had happened?

What... had just happened?!

They had not even seen how Lin Xi attacked!

Suo Tuo, a Soul Master with Level 6 Innate Soul Power and a ten-year Soul Ring, had just been... instantly defeated in one move?

And he had been defeated by a "piece of trash" who had just awakened Level 2 Soul Power and a Waste Spirit silver needle?

Was this fucking a dream?!

The teacher in charge of the awakening was equally stunned, the crystal ball in his hand nearly falling to the ground. He rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

"You..." He pointed at Lin Xi, his lips trembling. For a long while, he could not utter a complete sentence.

Xiao Wu's little mouth fell open into an "O." She looked at Suo Tuo, who was sprawled on the ground and unable to rise, then at the calm and composed Lin Xi. Her mind had completely crashed.

"Lin... Lin Xi... you... you..."

Of everyone present, Tang San was undoubtedly the most shocked!

Others had not seen clearly, but with the Purple Demon Eye he had cultivated for years, he had caught a faint trace of its trajectory!

In that instant, what Lin Xi had flicked out was a needle condensed from Soul Power, as thin as a cow's hair...

The needle's speed, force, and the terrifying penetrating power contained within it had far exceeded his understanding of Soul Power in this world!

This technique... this skill... had an uncanny resemblance to the Tang Sect hidden weapons from his previous life, yet it seemed... even more advanced!

Just who was she?!

While everyone was still trapped in their overwhelming shock, unable to pull themselves free, something even more world-shattering happened.

Lin Xi slowly raised her right hand.

With a shift of her will.

Bzzzz!!

A hum that seemed to originate from the ancient primordial era resounded through the heavens!

A ring of light slowly rose from beneath her feet.

The color of that ring was...

Red!

As bewitching as blood! As blazing as fire!

It was a color that made everyone's hearts stop and their souls tremble!

The red Soul Ring spiraled upward from beneath her feet to above her head, then slowly descended again, repeating in an endless cycle. An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended like a towering divine mountain, enveloping the entire awakening plaza!

Thud!

Thud!

The weaker students' legs gave out beneath that pressure, and they fell directly to their knees, trembling uncontrollably!

Even the awakening teacher, a Soul Grandmaster, had gone deathly pale. His legs shook, cold sweat soaked his back, and it felt as though he had been targeted by an unparalleled ferocious beast. Even breathing had become difficult!

"R-red... a red... Soul Ring..."

One student used every ounce of strength in his body to force out those trembling words.

"What is that... Why is it red?"

"I... I saw it in a book... In the legends... a Soul Ring that surpasses ten thousand years... it's... it's..."

"Hundred Thousand Years!!! It's a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!!!"

No one knew who screamed out the answer at the top of their lungs.

Hundred Thousand Years!

Those three words exploded in everyone's minds like countless bolts of thunder!

At that moment, everyone's thoughts went completely blank!

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! It was something that existed only in legends! A supreme treasure even Titled Douluo dreamed of obtaining! A divine artifact capable of igniting war across the entire continent!

Yet now, it had appeared so openly on a little girl who was only six years old and had just awakened her martial soul!

This was no longer mere talent!

This was a miracle!

A monster!

Suo Tuo, lying unconscious on the ground, was jolted awake by the pressure. He struggled to open his swollen eyes, and when he saw the dazzling red ring around Lin Xi, the resentment and fury in his eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by boundless terror that seeped deep into his bones!

He... just now... had actually wanted to attack a monster with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?!

At the thought, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from fright once again.

Amid the deathly silence of the plaza, Lin Xi slowly withdrew her martial soul and Soul Ring.

That terrifying might, enough to crush heaven and earth, vanished abruptly.

She began walking. Under the awed, terrified, and worshipful gazes of everyone present, she took one step after another until she stood before Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Looking at the two of them standing there frozen in shock, a faint smile finally appeared on her exquisite face, like ice and snow beginning to melt.

"Brother San, Xiao Wu, let's go eat."

"I'm hungry."
