A Leap in Levels, Bountiful Rewards

The instant the fourth spirit ring was successfully attached, the rule restriction preventing Su He from advancing vanished in an instant.

Then, the medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that had accumulated within Su He, along with the enormous energy contained in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's spirit ring, all poured into his Soul Power Level, causing it to undergo a tremendous leap.

Yes, Su He's level had shot from Level 40 to Level 45, gaining a full five levels of soul power.

Su He estimated that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's medicinal power had raised his soul power by roughly three levels. The remaining two levels came from the foundation he had built up during the Soul Elder stage, as well as the power granted by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's spirit ring.

Because Su He had consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum while at a bottleneck, it was equivalent to forcefully using the advancement rules to condense the Immortal Herb's medicinal power.

As a result, the soul power increase brought by the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was all exceptionally pure, high-quality soul power. Although Su He had gained many levels, his soul power showed no signs of becoming unstable.

Even so, Su He still intended to follow his usual habit after absorbing a spirit ring and prioritize consolidating his newly gained soul power levels.

Su He's Fourth Spirit Skill was called Dark Demon Sky Wrath, an exceptionally powerful super-buff spirit skill.

Its effect increased the user's attack power and speed by 150 percent for twenty minutes. Furthermore, while the skill remained active, the user could wield the power of space in a rudimentary manner, and all attacks released would carry powerful Dark Demon Evil Lightning.

Judging from its effects, Dark Demon Sky Wrath had inherited the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's formidable physical qualities, as well as three of its Six Great Attributes: space, evil, and lightning. With such a powerful spirit skill, Su He's frontal combat ability had risen another level.

Having personally experienced the power of Dark Demon Evil Lightning, he knew full well how terrifying it was. Even the slightest contact could leave someone trapped in a troublesome state of paralysis. The evil energy attached to the lightning would also continuously erode the opponent's body like maggots clinging to bone.

Yet this powerful spirit skill was not Su He's greatest gain this time. The Origin Evil God Orb he had obtained from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was that beast's most precious treasure.

This Evil God Orb contained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's origin attributes of evil, lightning, wind, space, time, and more. Once it was completely refined, one could inherit the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's formidable abilities.

It was worth mentioning that even Tang San, the protagonist of the Original Work, had never obtained such a treasure. When that Sixty Thousand Year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had been on the brink of death, it had exhausted the last of its soul power to send the Origin Evil God Orb into another plane.

Perhaps because Su He had killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger so thoroughly within the Life-and-Death Arena, leaving its soul no room whatsoever to retaliate, this Origin Evil God Orb had fallen into Su He's hands by a twist of fate. It was simply luck.

Su He had carefully stored away this orb, which contained all of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's origin attributes, intending to study it slowly after returning to the Heaven Dou Empire.

This journey had truly been bountiful. Su He had not only obtained a powerful spirit skill, but also acquired the precious Origin Evil God Orb.

His only regret was that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had not produced a spirit bone. Su He had originally thought that its unwillingness before death might cause it to drop a suitable spirit bone.

Still, Su He was not a greedy man. Opportunities were fortunate when gained and fate when lost.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue had yet to finish absorbing her spirit ring.

The Sixty Thousand Year Radiant White Tiger spirit ring was an immense challenge for Qian Renxue as well. Moreover, before its death, this Radiant White Tiger had not only suffered the crushing grief of losing its child, but had also been besieged and killed by two Titled Douluo. Its resentment was undoubtedly immense, and there was even a strong chance that it would produce a spirit bone.

However, if Qian Renxue successfully absorbed it, she would possess the highest-age sixth spirit ring on the entire continent and become the continent's youngest Soul Emperor.

Reaching the Soul Emperor realm at eighteen—this was a true genius spirit master of Spirit Hall, the very pinnacle among talent-based prodigies.

Compared to that, Qin Ming's so-called title as the continent's second-youngest Soul Emperor from the Original Work now seemed nothing more than a joke.

Speaking of Qin Ming made Su He think once more of the Shrek group. Shrek Academy was not only Qin Ming's alma mater, but also the alma mater of the protagonists' group in the Original Work. If a suitable opportunity arose in the future, he wanted to visit Shrek Academy.

He could treat it as a sightseeing stop during his travels. If he had the chance, he could also use his foreknowledge to sabotage Tang San's opportunities.

One of Tang San's greatest assets later in the Original Work was the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances. Su He had no intention of letting him obtain the Eight Spider Lances as he had in the Original Work.

It would be even better if he could lure Tang Hao out. Then he could simply use Golden Crocodile Douluo's hand to kill Tang Hao outright, saving himself the trouble of Tang Hao causing complications during the Elite Spirit Master Tournament.

After all, the system had issued a Side Quest targeting Tang Hao. Although Su He had no idea what the Refreshing Universal Elixir was, since it came from the system—and judging by Three Thousand Lightning Movements—it certainly would not be some cheap imitation. It was bound to be a top-tier treasure.

Seeing that Su He had successfully absorbed the spirit ring and risen to his feet, the two elders and Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly came over to ask about his spirit skill.

Su He immediately told them the effects of his Fourth Spirit Skill truthfully. All three were astonished, especially Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had witnessed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Dark Demon Evil Lightning firsthand. It was no exaggeration to say that if this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had reached the hundred-thousand-year level, then even with Golden Crocodile Douluo's Peerless Douluo-level strength, dealing with it would have been no easy task.

After all, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was famous among Soul Beasts for its extraordinary talent. With merely ten-thousand-year cultivation, it could challenge Soul Beasts at the hundred-thousand-year level.

Its elusive spatial abilities and irresistible Dark Demon Evil Lightning were troublesome even for a Peerless Douluo. If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were truly driven into a corner and forced to activate the Life-and-Death Arena, then even a Level 99 Limit Douluo might die on the spot if caught unprepared.

Such a powerful and exceptionally intelligent Soul Beast had actually died at Su He's hands and become his spirit ring. The three Douluo powerhouses could not help but sigh in amazement, while also marveling at Su He's great fortune.

As for the Primordial Evil God Orb, Su He did not mention it. It was not because he distrusted these three elders. Golden Crocodile Douluo and Elder Ci Xue were both utterly loyal to Spirit Hall, while although Dugu Bo's conduct was eccentric, Su He fully trusted his character.

He simply wished to protect his trump card and had no desire to reveal his deepest secret to anyone else.

Seeing that Qian Renxue was still absorbing her spirit ring, Su He did not waste any time. Instead, he sat cross-legged and began consolidating the five levels of soul power he had gained today. After meditating for roughly two hours, movement finally came from Qian Renxue's side.

The noble and beautiful Six-Winged Angel martial soul behind her spread its wings. In an instant, dazzling Angel Holy Light erupted forth, and the soul power around Qian Renxue surged violently as a powerful aura rushed toward them.

A pitch-black spirit ring slowly descended into the sixth spirit ring position of the Six-Winged Angel. The Sixty Thousand Year Radiant White Tiger spirit ring had been successfully absorbed!
