Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black! Six spirit rings flashed in sequence with captivating colors.

The two yellow spirit rings were bright and dazzling, the two purple spirit rings noble and mysterious, and the two black spirit rings as dark as ink. They officially proclaimed that Qian Renxue had reached the realm of a Soul Emperor!

With the boost from her sixth spirit ring, Qian Renxue's Soul Power had reached level 63—a clear testament to the immense energy contained within the Sixty Thousand Year Radiant White Tiger spirit ring.

Normally, an ordinary Soul Emperor would reach level 62 at most after absorbing their sixth spirit ring. However, Qian Renxue's spirit ring had vastly exceeded the theoretical limit of twenty-five thousand years for a sixth spirit ring, so the three full levels of Soul Power it provided were still within reason.

Moreover, attaching a spirit ring also improved a soul master's physical constitution. For instance, all four spirit rings Su He had absorbed came from strength-type Soul Beasts, causing his physique to improve further with every spirit ring he absorbed.

Qian Renxue's sixth spirit ring had come from a Radiant White Tiger, which was clearly also a strength-type Soul Beast. It made her muscle lines even more graceful, giving her a distinctly healthy beauty from afar.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Qian Renxue briefly introduced her sixth spirit skill to the other four present.

In the Original Work, Qian Renxue's sixth spirit skill was called Angel's Roar. It was a wide-range, group-targeting spiritual attack. If an opponent's Spiritual Power was less than half of her own, it would directly destroy their mind. It was already an exceptionally formidable spirit skill.

However, the spirit skill Qian Renxue gained from absorbing a Sixty Thousand Year sixth spirit ring was called Angel's Might, and its effect was equivalent to an enhanced version of the sixth spirit skill from the Original Work.

Angel's Might not only possessed the first-stage group spiritual attack, an immensely powerful battlefield-clearing AOE spirit skill that could devastate the minds of opponents whose Spiritual Power was one-third or less of her own, but also had an even more powerful second-stage skill: Radiant Cannon.

The Radiant Cannon, formed by condensing the immense sacred power of a Six-Winged Angel soul master, had a diameter of roughly five meters. Its searing heat could melt iron and reduce ordinary flesh to ashes in an instant. It was practically unstoppable in battle, especially suited for large-scale group battles between soul masters.

Even Chrysanthemum Douluo's Eighth Spirit Skill, Flowing Light Myriad Zhaos, might not be able to match the power of Radiant Cannon in a direct clash.

However, the only drawback of this sixth spirit skill was its rather high Soul Power consumption, along with its excessive destructive power. It truly could not be used casually outside.

If Angel's Might were unleashed once within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, then even without using its second-stage spirit skill, Radiant Cannon, roughly ninety percent of the people there would become idiots in an instant.

There was no helping the excessive Soul Power consumption. This was the sole drawback brought about by Cross-Level Spirit Ring Absorption. A sixty-thousand-year cultivation was enough to serve as the eighth or even ninth spirit ring for some more ordinary Titled Douluo. Across the entire continent, looking through all of history, Qian Renxue was the only one who had successfully absorbed a Sixty Thousand Year sixth spirit ring as a Soul Emperor.

It could be said that none had come before her. As for those who came after, that would have to wait until Su He reached level sixty.

Qian Renxue was also extremely satisfied with her sixth spirit skill. Perhaps she truly could challenge a Hundred Thousand Year Seventh Spirit Ring now.

The age of a soul master's seventh spirit ring directly affected the effects of their Martial Soul Avatar. If a Martial Soul Avatar was boosted by a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, there was no need to even think about it—the result would certainly be unimaginably formidable.

Su He and the three elders were equally astonished after hearing about Qian Renxue's spirit skill, deeply impressed by the overwhelming strength of her sixth spirit skill.

Just as the five of them began gathering the corpses of the two giant tigers and prepared to leave, an even more pleasant surprise arrived.

Near the Radiant White Tiger's left leg, a strange object slowly emitted a warm pale-yellow glow. If Su He had not looked carefully, none of the five would have noticed that the Radiant White Tiger had produced a soul bone.

After their initial delight, everyone turned their gazes toward Dugu Bo and Ci Xue.

This Sixty Thousand Year soul bone had been obtained through the joint efforts of the two Titled Douluo elders, so the two of them naturally had the right to decide its disposition.

Seeing Su He and Qian Renxue looking at himself and Elder Ci Xue, Dugu Bo chuckled. "What are you looking at this old man for? That old fellow was the one who put in the most effort during the battle just now. He should handle it."

As he spoke, he pointed at Stingray Douluo beside him, signaling for the latter to decide.

Dugu Bo was indeed a man of temperament. He simply gave up a Sixty Thousand Year soul bone without hesitation.

In his eyes, the Sixty Thousand Year Radiant White Tiger had been slain by Stingray Douluo's final strike, so the latter had the right to decide what happened to the soul bone.

"This old man would like the soul bone, but unfortunately, it's a left leg bone." Stingray Douluo chuckled, then raised his left leg. Something within seemed to be gleaming.

"Let the Second Worship decide its disposition." With that, Ci Xue looked toward Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Only then did everyone realize that Stingray Douluo already possessed a left leg soul bone. He was indeed fortunate. Some Titled Douluo went their entire lives without obtaining even one high-grade soul bone, such as Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

It was precisely because of such a gap that he had been effortlessly crushed and beaten by Tang Hao, despite being of the same rank. Tang Hao possessed six powerful soul bones, after all. With such a disparity, Tang Hao's strength naturally far surpassed that of Titled Douluo of the same rank.

"You all know that Little Xue still has the Angel Soul Bone Set to absorb. This Sixty Thousand Year soul bone is useless to her."

Golden Crocodile Douluo first glanced at Qian Renxue. She nodded firmly, then secretly glanced at Su He.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was old and shrewd, so he naturally understood what Qian Renxue meant. She wanted Su He to absorb this soul bone.

As the second-in-command of the Worship Hall, a level 99 Limit Douluo, and Su He's Teacher, Golden Crocodile Douluo naturally would not compete with his own disciple for a soul bone.

Golden Crocodile Douluo could not have wished more for Su He to grow stronger. That would bring honor to him as his Teacher as well.

"Then this old man shall make the decision. We will give this soul bone to my disciple, Su He. What do you all think?" Golden Crocodile Douluo swept his gaze over the crowd and asked.

"The Second Worship is right!" Stingray Douluo and Dugu Bo both nodded in agreement, while a satisfied smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.

Su He alone was still somewhat dazed. He had never even considered this soul bone, yet through a twist of fate, it had fallen into his hands. Still, he did not refuse. Everyone present was among Spirit Hall's upper echelon, aside from Dugu Bo, the newly recruited elder. The rest could all be said to have served Spirit Hall loyally and diligently, so Su He naturally accepted their gift gladly.

Including the External Soul Bone, Radiant Crystal Wings, and the Thirty Thousand Year Dreadclaw Bear soul bone he had yet to absorb, Su He already possessed three powerful soul bones. He planned to complete the absorption of the soul bones during the Soul Ancestor stage.

This would undoubtedly bring another tremendous increase to his strength.

I forgot to post this at noon! Making up for it now!
