Hundred Year Soul Ring, Thousand Year Soul Ring?

A Nine Hundred Year Soul Ring.

Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and felt that he had reached the limit of what he could absorb for his Second Soul Ring, so he had to absorb it.

He looked back at Xiao Yan and saw that she had not yet finished absorbing the One Hundred and Twenty Year Mandala Snake's Soul Ring, so he did not wait for her.

Once a Soul Ring appeared, it would vanish after an hour. It had to be absorbed in time.

However, before absorbing it, there was one more requirement: his Soul Power had to reach the next multiple of ten.

In other words, after absorbing the First Soul Ring, he had to reach Level Twenty before he could absorb a second Soul Ring.

Level Twenty—what level was he at now?

Wang Xiao did not know himself.

But that was fine.

Before coming here, he had spent a hefty sum to buy a Crystal Ball for testing Soul Power.

Wang Xiao quickly took it out of the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night, then circulated his Soul Power and placed his hand on the Crystal Ball to test himself.

The Crystal Ball immediately lit up.

Wang Xiao checked the reading. He was only Level Eighteen.

Level Eighteen. That meant that after absorbing his First Soul Ring, his level had leaped from Level Ten to Level Eighteen.

My level rose rather quickly!

Perhaps it was because of his Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart. Otherwise, even Tang San could not have possibly jumped eight levels at once.

But he was still two levels short of Level Twenty. What was he supposed to do?

Wang Xiao immediately got a headache. If he did not absorb it within an hour, this Nine Hundred Year Soul Ring would disappear.

Forget it. He would treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

He would cultivate for half an hour and hope to raise those two levels, reach Level Twenty, and successfully absorb his Second Soul Ring!

Wang Xiao immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began cultivating.

It would be even better if he could borrow the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart's Soul Power again and swiftly reach Level Twenty.

Twenty minutes later.

Wang Xiao finally opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

After twenty minutes of cultivation and drawing on the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart's Soul Power, he had finally made up those two levels of Soul Power and reached Level Twenty. He could now normally absorb his Second Soul Ring!

There is still half an hour before the Nine Hundred Year Mandala Snake's Soul Ring disappears. I need to hurry and absorb it.

Wang Xiao was overjoyed. Without resting, he sat down before the Soul Ring again.

Then, circulating his Soul Power, he released his Chicken Blood Vine martial soul, began meditating, and started absorbing his Second Soul Ring.

About half an hour later.

Xiao Yan finally finished absorbing her First Soul Ring.

A ring of light lit up beneath her feet. It was the Hundred Year Soul Ring she had just absorbed.

Then, the nine leaves of the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus began to grow rapidly, reaching roughly one meter and twenty centimeters in length.

A miracle occurred. A red flower bud grew from between the nine leaves.

The red bud shimmered with flowing light and swiftly bloomed into a complete red lotus flower.

The flower warmed both Xiao Yan's surroundings and her body.

That was the vitality abundant Soul Power brought to a martial soul.

The Nine-Leaf Red Lotus was also a Support Type Tool Spirit, which was why it possessed this healing ability.

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked around in every direction.

Only then did she spot Wang Xiao ten zhang away, also sitting there and absorbing a Soul Ring.

"Th-this... did Brother Xiao Xiao hunt another Soul Beast?"

She immediately jogged over, and sure enough, that was exactly what had happened.

Xiao Yan then looked at the Mandala Snake lying on the ground before him. It was over nine meters long, and she was shocked. "It's a Nine Hundred Year Soul Beast."

Brother Xiao Xiao was far too amazing!

He was a Level Ten... no, he should be a Level Twelve or Thirteen Soul Master.

He could actually hunt a Nine Hundred Year Mandala Snake. How had he done it?

And didn't one need to reach Level Twenty before absorbing a second Soul Ring?

Could Brother Xiao Xiao's level have already risen to Level Twenty?

Was there really such a fast method of cultivation?

Why had she never known of it or seen it before?

Although Xiao Yan was puzzled, she felt that it was better not to ask questions she should not ask, lest she make herself disliked.

So she stopped dwelling on it.

She immediately swept her gaze around and discovered many broken flowers and snapped branches.

Then she knew that she had missed an intense battle just now.

She could imagine how perilous Brother Xiao Xiao's battle against this Nine Hundred Year Mandala Snake must have been.

Yet he had ultimately managed to kill it. How had he done that?

Just then, a dazzling yellow ring of light rose from beneath Wang Xiao.

The Chicken Blood Vine behind him also rapidly grew and blossomed.

It continued growing until it reached nine hundred meters in length.

Only then did Wang Xiao open his eyes, his face slightly pale.

That was because he had just absorbed the Nine Hundred Year Soul Ring and expended too much stamina.

Looking again, after absorbing his second Nine Hundred Year Soul Ring, the Blood Chicken Vine had grown to over nine hundred meters long and become tougher and more powerful.

Wang Xiao was delighted. The power he could wield in controlling his martial soul had also increased considerably.

He felt that the effort had been worth it!

"Brother Xiao Xiao, congratulations on absorbing your second Nine Hundred Year Soul Ring," Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward to congratulate him.

Wang Xiao turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Yan.

It seemed she had successfully absorbed that Hundred Year Soul Ring. "Congratulations to you too."

Xiao Yan walked up to him and hugged him. "Thank you, Brother Xiao Xiao. Without you, I wouldn't have had the ability to obtain this Hundred Year Soul Ring."

"No need to be polite." Wang Xiao waved his hand. "By the way, Xiao Yan, since you've absorbed your Soul Ring, there's no need for you to stay here any longer. You should head back."

"What about you? Aren't you leaving with me?" Xiao Yan could tell from his words that he did not intend to return.

Wang Xiao shook his head. "No. Didn't I tell you earlier that I still need to absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

"Then... I'll go with you?"

"Don't. Thousand Year Soul Beasts can only be found in the central area of the Soul Hunting Forest. It's too dangerous for you to come along."

Xiao Yan bit her pearly teeth. How could she not understand? "But we came here together, so we should leave together. How can I abandon a teammate halfway through and leave by myself? What kind of person would that make me?"

Wang Xiao waved his hand. "Be good, Xiao Yan. I really don't need your help with this."

Then he took the last two Big Sausages from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.

He gave one to her. "Eat it and replenish some Soul Power so you can get out safely."

Xiao Yan did not say anything more and began eating.

Wang Xiao also finished the Big Sausage in his hand, bade Xiao Yan farewell, and walked deeper into the forest.

Only after his back could no longer be seen did Xiao Yan wave at him. She looked back every few steps before finally leaving reluctantly.

About ten li away.

Wang Xiao encountered an Eight Thousand Year Soul Beast, a Tri-colored Python.

Although this kind of snake was not venomous, the three sharp horns growing from its head were incomparably hard and could pierce anything.

Its constricting strength was also extremely formidable, far beyond that of a Mandala Snake.

Wang Xiao fought it for over a thousand exchanges before finally taking it down.

But he was only Level Twenty-Three.

He had no choice but to sit down and cultivate again. Only after his Soul Power reached the complete Level Thirty could he absorb his Third Soul Ring.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao succeeded once more. Within half an hour, he used the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart's Soul Power to raise his cultivation so quickly that his Soul Power reached Level Thirty.

Wang Xiao was overjoyed. Without this Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, how could I have cultivated to Level Thirty so quickly?

Wang Xiao checked the time. More than thirty minutes had already passed, and in another twenty-odd minutes, the Tri-colored Python's Soul Ring would disappear. He had to hurry and absorb it.

He immediately sat cross-legged, meditated, and began absorbing his Third Soul Ring.

A little over two hours later.

Wang Xiao finally opened his eyes. He had successfully absorbed this Eight Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The purple Soul Ring shining upon his body truly felt different.

Wang Xiao smiled happily, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

This meant he had completed two-thirds of the mission assigned by the system.

There was still one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring left to find.

Wang Xiao had been able to kill an Eight Thousand Year Soul Beast this time largely thanks to the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart's support.

It supplied him with a continuous stream of Soul Power, along with the healing effect of the Chicken Blood Vine martial soul.

Otherwise, he truly would not have been confident of victory against a Thousand Year Soul Beast.

Much less an Eight Thousand Year Soul Beast that was nearly Ten Thousand Years old.

He was hungry.

Wang Xiao went and caught a wild boar weighing roughly a hundred jin.

After preparing it, he built a fire and roasted the whole boar.

He ate more than ten jin in one go, then stored the rest in the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night to slowly eat at his next meal.

There was still a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

And a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to absorb.

Two life-and-death battles were unavoidable.

He had to replenish more stamina.

Holy Spirit Village.

Clang, clang, clang~

Tang San struck the iron several times, then put down the hammer. It had already been quite a few days since Wang Xiao had shown himself, and no one knew where he had gone.

In a little over a month, the Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy would begin classes. Would he go enroll?

A few days later.

Wang Xiao had more or less reached the center of the Soul Hunting Forest.

Along the way, he had encountered several scenes of Soul Masters fighting Soul Beasts.

But they were all Hundred Year or Thousand Year Soul Beasts.

He was looking for a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast now, so he lost interest.

He simply acted as a passerby and left after watching.

Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, teachers' dormitory building.

Xiao Gang stood on the balcony of his dormitory and gazed in the direction of the Soul Hunting Forest.

He muttered to himself, "Xiao Xiao has been gone for so many days and still hasn't returned. Nothing could have happened to him, right?"

Taoshan Village.

Xiao Wu stood at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance.

She was thinking of someone. When will Brother Xiao Xiao return?

But after looking for so long, she still did not see him returning. Her heart felt somewhat bitter.

"Brother Xiao Xiao, where did you go?"

Seven days later.

Wang Xiao arrived at the center of the Soul Hunting Forest. This was the most dangerous place in the entire forest.

It was also where high-level Soul Beasts gathered.

He had searched for half a month. He had found plenty of Hundred Year Soul Beasts and some Thousand Year Soul Beasts.

But he had not found a single Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

He was truly exhausted.

Having gone half a month without bathing, he was also filthy.

He planned to find a pool or lake and take a proper bath first.

Wang Xiao searched for a while longer before finally spotting a small lake amid the flat woodland ahead. He was overjoyed and shouted, "I can finally get in the water and clean myself properly!"
