Old Acquaintances Arrive, A Year Passes
Inside the carriage heading to Heaven Dou City.
Having unexpectedly found a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the three of them were in very good spirits.
"Sister Xue'er, your Seventh Spirit Ring has been secured." Su He smiled and congratulated her.
"Although we don't know what kind of Soul Beast Transformation, the Seventh Spirit Ring focuses more on the age of the Soul Ring than the type of Soul Beast, so it's quite suitable."
"This little girl's true form is a Soft Bone Rabbit," the Golden Crocodile interjected, picking up where Su He off.
"Although it's not exactly a powerful Soul Beast, Xiao He is right. For the Seventh Spirit Ring, you only need to look at Soul Ring age. This Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring must make the Angel True Body extremely powerful."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's lips curled up slightly, clearly in a very good mood.
In this way, not only will Qian Renxue have a 100,000-year seventh ring, Su He will also be able to acquire a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Given the relationship between Qian Renxue and Su He, the former would not necessarily give the 100,000-year-old Soul Bone to Su He without needing it.
Don't underestimate the Soul Bone of this 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit. The skills it produces, whether it's Teleportation or Invincible Golden Body, are extremely powerful and have endless uses in battle.
However, Su He hoped that the Soul Bone Skill of this Soul Bone would be the Invincible Golden Body, so that he would have another trump card to save his life.
As for the method of attaching Soul Ring, Su He plans to force Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself.
Sacrifice allows the power of Soul Beast to be bestowed upon the Soul Master without any waste, and it can also pinpoint the location of the Soul Bone. This is most beneficial to Su He and Qian Renxue.
Xiao Wu is inherently foolish and naive; as long as her weakness is exploited and she is threatened in the slightest, she will compromise. Forcing her to sacrifice herself would be no difficulty for Su He.
As for where to find weaknesses, there are too many to list.
Titan Giant Ape, Sky Azure Bull Python, and even Tang San can all be considered her weaknesses.
Three days later, in the secret underground chamber of the Crown Prince's Palace.
Qian Renxue had already ordered the construction of an iron cage to imprison Xiao Wu.
"Who are you? What do you want?!" At this moment, Xiao Wu was being held by Su He and was struggling desperately, still trying to light up her First Soul Ring to attack Su He.
"I advise you not to engage in these meaningless acts of resistance," said Golden Crocodile Douluo, staring at Xiao Wu.
As he finished speaking, the Golden Dragon Crocodile Emperor's Martial Soul had completed its possession, and nine Soul Ring— yellow, purple, black, black, black, and red—emerged one after another beneath his feet.
Xiao Wu stared blankly at the red Soul Ring.
"Titled Douluo..." Xiao Wu murmured, seemingly resigned to her fate. "My mother's Soul Ring are red too..."
Xiao Wu's eyes were empty, and she stopped struggling. She had naturally heard her mother say that Titled Douluo among the human powerhouses could see through the disguise of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in its infancy.
She was clearly captured after being exposed by Golden Crocodile Douluo. With such tight security here, he probably wouldn't be able to escape with his current level 14 Soul Power.
Su He sighed upon hearing this.
About two years ago, Bibi Dong took Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to the Star Dou Great Forest. It is estimated that it was around that time that Xiao Wu's mother became her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Xiao Wu will become Qian Renxue's Soul Ring and Su He's Soul Bone.
Su He wasn't a reflection of Xiao Wu's tragic fate, but rather a lament about the dog-eat-dog world.
In the Original Work, Xiao Wu's coming to the human world before reaching maturity was a suicidal act, and she even absurdly went to Spirit City, where Titled Douluo gathered, to participate in the finals of the Spirit Master Tournament.
Isn't this like an old man eating poison, tired of living?
Furthermore, Xiao Wu can be considered one of the least memorable female leads, whose only role is to drive the plot forward and to act as the trigger for Tang San's sudden outburst of power.
After properly imprisoning Xiao Wu and awaiting her sacrifice, Su He planned to enter seclusion.
At that moment, a figure that Su He hadn't expected was standing Crown Prince's Palace, requesting an audience with him.
Upon seeing the visitor, Su He walked out with great interest.
"What brings you here?" Su He asked with a smile.
"A breeze from the Holy Dragon Sect." The man lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice. Judging from his appearance, who else could it be but Fang Xing, the Crimson Dragon who had fought Su He in the Soul Fighting Arena?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Su He asked.
"No one visits a temple without a reason. Fang Xing hasn't come to see him for so long, so his sudden visit today must mean he's encountered some trouble."
"I have already taken the spiritual herb you gave me." Fang Xing did not choose to answer Su He's question, but suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed to Su He.
"From this day forward, I shall serve you as you see fit!"
"Tell me what happened," Su He asked, frowning as she helped him up.
"The Holy Dragon Sect has sent people to find me again. This time, their attitude is quite firm; they insist that I return to the sect," Fang Xing sighed and said slowly.
"I refused to comply no matter what, but I never expected that my father and my uncle would come in person to force me to acknowledge my ancestors and return to the family line. They even made a five-year agreement with me."
"If I can defeat my uncle in five years, then I will be the future sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect," Fang Xing said with a bitter face.
"And if I am defeated, then I must be wholeheartedly loyal to the sect and completely obey its orders." His eyes gleamed with an unusual light.
"I must win this battle!"
"I should call you Tuoba Xing now." Su He didn't show much emotion after hearing this. "In just seven months, you've broken through from level 48 to level 54. That's truly remarkable."
"It's far from enough," Tuoba Xing said, taking a deep drag on his cigarette. His expression revealed that he lacked confidence in the battle five years from now.
From her conversation with Tuoba Xing, Su He learned that the Soul Master she was to fight was Tuoba Xing's uncle, Tuoba Ting. The latter was 38 years old this year and was already a level 64 Battle Spirit Emperor.
During the conversation, Tuoba Xing also made Martial Soul Oath to show his loyalty, vowing to follow Su He's lead in the future.
Su He didn't think the five-year agreement was difficult at all, as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could greatly improve Soul Master's talent. Since Tuoba Xing had joined him, he would support him to become the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect in the future.
The gift of a rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Tuoba Xing was merely a spur-of-the-moment gesture to forge a good relationship; unexpectedly, it led to the complete loyalty of a genius.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Tuoba Xing was simply assigned a supervisory post in the Crown Prince's Palace, responsible for the Crown Prince's Palace's security. Su He then transplanted the Blue Silver Emperor seedling from her Spatial Soul Tool into a potted plant by the window and entered a state of cultivation.
Golden Crocodile Douluo had given him a strict order: he was not to leave seclusion until he reached the Soul King stage, and Su He dared not disobey his orders.
After their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Su He and Qian Renxue did indeed become somewhat arrogant and complacent. A flawed state of mind can lead to many serious problems, so Su He urgently needs to temper her mind through quiet cultivation.
He still has a lot to cultivate. He has reached a critical stage in his cultivation of both Adamant Qi and the Evil God Orb. His Indestructible Golden Body is stuck at the Great Completion stage and cannot make any progress. There is still a lot of medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his body that has not been fully refined.
After greeting Golden Crocodile and Qian Renxue, Su He entered the secret chamber and went into seclusion, where she remained for a full year.
