Yu Xiaogang Was Stunned—Why Couldn't He Absorb Spirit Rings Anymore?

It must be because of how he offended me. I keep thinking about getting revenge on him.

Yes, that's it!

Having found the reason, Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt much more relaxed.

But when she saw Dai Mubai across from her sweep his gaze in her direction, Zhu Zhuqing grew irritated again.

Although she was deeply disappointed in Dai Mubai, she had stayed at Shrek Academy precisely to give him a chance, hoping that he would change because of her appearance.

Ever since recovering from his injuries, Dai Mubai had indeed changed somewhat and had stopped flirting with girls.

However, Zhu Zhuqing realized that after seeing Dai Mubai change as she had hoped, she did not feel happy at all. Or rather, she had never had any intention of forgiving him.

She should have been happy to see Dai Mubai change.

Buzz~

Soul Power trembled.

While Zhu Zhuqing was lost in wild thoughts, Yu Xiaogang finally finished meditating and opened his eyes.

It was not hard to see the excitement flashing in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

"Teacher?" Tang San hurried forward, asking doubtfully.

"Yes. Your teacher has finally broken through. My Soul Power has reached level 30!" Yu Xiaogang said excitedly, never expecting the bottleneck that had plagued him for half his life to be broken through just like that.

"Congratulations, Xiaogang."

"I'll help you hunt a suitable Spirit Beast right away and obtain the Spirit Ring you want!"

Dean Flender congratulated Yu Xiaogang happily as well.

"Good. This is the final step of the verification."

Yu Xiaogang nodded without refusing.

He was also impatient to complete the final step of the verification.

Yes, although he had successfully broken through to level 30 and become a Soul Elder, the verification was not yet fully complete.

He still needed to hunt a Spirit Beast and obtain a Spirit Ring before the verification could be considered complete.

Su Xing had no idea that because of his appearance, Yu Xiaogang had already used Ring Detonation to break through to level 30.

Nor did he know that Yu Xiaogang was already on his way to hunt a Spirit Beast and obtain a Spirit Ring.

At this time, led by Qin Ming, Su Xing and the others had arrived in Suotuo City with Yu Tianheng and the rest.

Having just arrived in Suotuo City, Su Xing and the others naturally would not immediately participate in duels at Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena.

Since some nobles of Suotuo City had invited them, they naturally treated Su Xing's group well.

After eating and drinking their fill, Su Xing returned to his room.

After completing his daily routine of Lightning Body Tempering for one hour and fifteen minutes, Su Xing stopped, feeling numb all over and incredibly refreshed.

Unfortunately, he could only use Lightning Body Tempering for one hour and fifteen minutes each day. Any longer, and his body would not be able to withstand it.

There was a limit to how long his body's cells could endure each day.

However, as Su Xing grew stronger, that time slowly increased as well.

Previously, he could only use Lightning Body Tempering for just under an hour each day. Now, he could last for one hour and fifteen minutes!

After finishing Lightning Body Tempering, it was time to cultivate Soul Power. Cultivating Soul Power was a slow, grinding process of continuously absorbing external energy and refining it into one's own Soul Power.

In this regard, one's talent played an extremely important role.

The higher one's Innate Soul Power, the faster one absorbed Soul Power. This was the most important factor in determining the speed of Soul Power cultivation.

Physical strength could also enhance one's Soul Power cultivation speed to a certain extent.

Many Spirit Masters had actually discovered this, including Yu Xiaogang. That was why Shrek Academy placed so much emphasis on physical training.

Unfortunately, they only knew how to train blindly. Once their levels became high enough, it no longer had much effect.

The reason Su Xing's Soul Power cultivation speed could keep up with Tang San and the others was the powerful physical strength he possessed after Lightning Body Tempering.

Of course, Su Xing's ability to keep pace with Tang San and the others in Soul Power advancement was also inseparable from his own hard work.

Compared to the massage-like enjoyment of Lightning Body Tempering, cultivating Soul Power was an extremely dull and tedious task.

Su Xing's solution was to stop and develop Spirit Skills whenever he truly could not endure it anymore.

By now, Su Xing had developed quite a few Lightning-related Spirit Skills, both strong and weak.

There was also a cool Spirit Skill that he was about to finish developing.

"Lightning Release, Chidori!"

Chirp chirp chirp chirp~~~

Lightning intertwined in Su Xing's right palm as he condensed a massive amount of Lightning there.

In the end, the seemingly Berserk Lightning gathered together and was completely controlled by Su Xing. Its power became relatively concentrated, no longer wildly spilling outward.

"It's done!"

Looking at the Chidori in his hand, Su Xing smiled smugly.

This Spirit Skill was less powerful than Railgun, yet more difficult to develop than Railgun.

Of course, that was only for Su Xing. Anyone else who did not understand the principles of Railgun simply could not develop it.

Su Xing treated Railgun as a trump card and did not intend to use it under normal circumstances. That was why he had developed Chidori.

With Chidori paired with Lightning Release Armor, his offensive power would become even stronger.

If he faced Yu Tianheng head-on again, Su Xing was confident that he could take him on!

Boom!

Just as Su Xing successfully developed Chidori, Yu Xiaogang, with Flender's help, had finally succeeded in hunting a thousand-year Spirit Beast that satisfied him.

A purple Spirit Ring emerged from the Spirit Beast's body, waiting for the one who killed it to absorb it.

"Alright, Xiaogang, are you sure this Spirit Beast's age does not exceed the limit of what you can withstand?"

After finishing the battle, Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang with some concern.

He could not determine this Spirit Beast's exact age. It seemed close to two thousand years, which would exceed Yu Xiaogang's theoretical limit.

"It won't. This Dragon-Horned Wolf is a little over 1,700 years old, but it has not exceeded 1,760 years. It is exactly within the limit I can withstand."

Yu Xiaogang stared at the fallen Dragon-Horned Wolf Spirit Beast with flickering eyes, his tone excited.

According to his theory, the limit for a third Spirit Ring was 1,760 years. This Spirit Beast was exactly right, absolutely perfect.

More importantly, this Spirit Beast possessed a trace of dragon bloodline, making it especially suitable for his Martial Soul to absorb.

"Then hurry up and absorb it!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's certainty, Flender no longer worried and hurriedly urged him to absorb the Spirit Ring.

If he did not absorb it soon, the Spirit Ring would dissipate on its own!

"Alright!"

Yu Xiaogang did not dare delay. He walked before the Dragon-Horned Wolf's corpse, sat down cross-legged, looked at the purple Spirit Ring before him, and prepared to absorb it.

Absorbing it was simple. The person who killed the Spirit Beast only needed a thought!

Yu Xiaogang had originally been full of confidence, but when he willed it, the Spirit Ring floating before him did not react at all.

Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately changed.

Unable to believe it, he tried to absorb the Spirit Ring again with a grave expression.

"This is impossible..."

Yet no matter how he tried to absorb it, the Spirit Ring floating before him, seemingly within reach, remained impossibly distant and gave no response whatsoever.

"Xiaogang, what's wrong?"

Flender immediately grew worried at the side.

"The thing I feared most has happened!"

"After detonating Spirit Rings, it is impossible to continue absorbing Spirit Rings."

"That kid Su Xing did not simply not want Spirit Rings. After detonating them, he is unable to absorb them!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with bitterness!
