New and Old, Grandmaster's Arrangements

Qian Renxue did not refute Blue Silver King's words.

As the future leader of the Spirit Hall, she naturally knew that from the perspective of a clan leader, the continuation of the clan was the most important thing. Since she was doomed to die anyway, she might as well make her death more meaningful.

The laws are cruel; there's nothing we can do about it. This is the Douluo Continent.

A sense of tragedy and sorrow appeared on the human-like face of the Blue Silver King. Finally, its body shone with blue light, and in an instant, its boundless life force erupted, turning the forest into a blue ocean!

Beside him, a smaller Blue Silver Grass began to grow vigorously.

Twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years, forty thousand years!

Forty-five thousand years!

The Blue Silver King bestowed all the life energy stored within his body, which he had used to reach the age of 100,000, upon this slightly younger 10,000-year-old Blue Silver Grass, which also contained the unique wisdom passed down by the clan leader.

This process lasted for about five minutes, during which Qian Renxue, Su He, and the others quietly witnessed the transition from the old to the new.

Finally, the blue light disappeared.

The ritual that the Blue Silver King had just performed has completely ended. It no longer possesses intelligence and spirituality as before, but only some instincts.

However, its 85,000-year lifespan is indeed real and very suitable for Ye Renxin.

The latter was not a combat-oriented Soul Master who focused on physical training, nor had he undergone any physical enhancement or training. His physical attributes were only at the level of an ordinary Soul Sage. Thus, an 85,000-year Soul Ring was more than enough to be the ninth Soul Ring for some Soul Master, and it was more than sufficient for Ye Renxin.

Even if his physical condition is not sufficient to absorb this Soul Ring, there is no need to worry. Sacrifice is an active process, and even a level 10 quasi- Soul Master can receive the sacrifice of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

As agreed, the Blue Silver King began its sacrifice. Red light emerged from its body, transforming into pure power that entered Ye Renxin's body. The immense life energy brought by its ten thousand years of cultivation formed a black Soul Ring, which slowly appeared on Ye Renxin's body.

The process was very short, lasting no more than ten minutes, and the sacrifice was completed. The dark Eighth Soul Ring that appeared on Ye Renxin's body proclaimed that he was already a powerful healing-type Soul Douluo, and currently the most powerful Healing System Spirit Master in the world (excluding Bi Ji).

After the sacrifice, the Blue Silver King transformed into a seed that was blue with a hint of silver, lying quietly on the ground. At the same time Head Soul Bone with a history of 85,000 years was faintly visible. Upon seeing this, Su He immediately took it into her possession.

He was still missing a Head Soul Bone to absorb. Although this 85,000-year-old Soul Bone wasn't very attractive to Su He, it could still be considered as an alternative.

The Blue Silver King stared silently at the seeds on the ground. Then, under the gaze of Su He and the others, it stretched out its vines and gently picked up the seeds.

Having finished their business, Su He and the others were about to leave when the Blue Silver King called them back.

"If the Emperor were to return, my Blue Silver Clan would not have fallen to such a state."

Su He turned around and said to it with a hint of regret.

"It is regrettable that your king has betrayed the Soul Beast Clan and chosen to become the partner of a human Soul Master."

"He even bore a child for that human Soul Master, and perhaps soon he will come to ask you for benefits."

"Haha, your Blue Silver Grass Clan truly has a king who is responsible for his people."

Su He laughed heartily and didn't linger in the forest any longer. Having achieved his purpose, he could now return to Spirit City in peace to prepare for the upcoming Spirit Master Tournament.

There was still quite some time before it was their Spirit Hall Team's turn to appear, so Su He could use this opportunity to figure out how to pass the Second Trial of Destruction.

Four days later, at the Shrek Academy.

"So, the Preliminary Selection participants are tentatively set as Mu Bai, Xiao Yu, Tai Long, Jing Ling, and the substitutes Zhu Qing, Jiang Zhu, and Oscar, making it seven of you."

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, holding a tactics board, gave instructions to the many Shrek Academy students.

"As for the Little San, Hongjun and Rong Rong, you three will be our secret weapons. Wait until we reach the finals before you step onto the stage."

"The team that the Spirit Hall Academy sent to their finals this year is, as far as I know, stronger than ever before. We need to conserve our strength for any eventuality."

Everyone nodded, having no objection to Yu Xiaogang's arrangement.

Oscar felt a little heavy-hearted. Ever since Tang San and the others came to the academy, Shrek seemed to have lost its former innocence.

First, Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji chose to resign and retire. Then, Li Yusong and Shao Xin also chose to settle in the Balak Kingdom and did not come to Shrek with the group.

Putting aside others, for Zhao Wuji alone, this was a rather wise choice.

During her time at Shrek, Su He got along fairly well with this Teacher Zhao. Although this didn't mean that the things he had caused could be wiped clean, Su He wouldn't bother him again if he didn't actively appear in front of Su He.

The Shrek of today has long lost its original purpose of educating monsters, and has instead become a tool for Tang San to reclaim his mother and for Grandmaster to prove his theories.

"Little San, come with me."

After arranging things for everyone, Yu Xiaogang led Tang San to his residence.

"Teacher, is there something you need?"

Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Little San, you're already Soul King of level 50+ now. Originally, I didn't want to tell you about this too soon."

"Little San, tell your Teacher, do you really want to win? Can you really make that decision?"

Yu Xiaogang asked somewhat seriously.

"Of course, Teacher."

"I will definitely win this Spirit Master Tournament, to vindicate my father and to prove the Clear Sky Hammer."

Tang San looked down at the Asura Demonic Arm in his hand and said resolutely.

"Good."

Yu Xiaogang nodded upon hearing this.

"In that case, take advantage of the Preliminary Round to equip your Blue Silver Grass with four ten-thousand-year-level Soul Ring."

"This way, your level can reach fifty-seven or fifty-eight, giving you an overwhelming advantage in the Spirit Master Tournament."

"I think that might be enough to guarantee winning this championship."

"Little San, you need to think this through."

Just then, the soul of Tang San's father within him also awakened and spoke in Tang San's mind.

"The Grandmaster is absolutely right. Adding Soul Ring to the Blue Silver Grass can greatly enhance your current strength, making you a top genius who surpasses all others on the Douluo Continent."

"But it will also damage the potential that the Twin Martial Souls should have!"
