Electrolux Is Gone—Brother Sky Dream, Do His Job for Him

Bullying Xiao Qiang? So far, across their three clashes, hadn't he been the one beaten up twice? Who was bullying whom, exactly?!

While Xiao Hongchen was at a loss for words, Meng Hongchen had already taken the medicine he had used when advancing to four rings from him.

"Take it, Junior Brother. If you need anything in the future, just tell your Senior Sister."

"Meng, you traitor who abandons her principles for a pretty face! Also, based on his relationship with Grandpa, technically, he should be our junior granduncle."

"But he's also a new student at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. What's wrong with having him call me Senior Sister?"

Meng Hongchen planted her hands on her hips as she spoke. "Besides, we can each address him however we like. You call him Junior Granduncle, and he calls me Senior Sister."

"Meng, you little brat."

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened. He seriously suspected that Meng Hongchen was not only abandoning her principles for a pretty face, but also taking the chance to take advantage of him.

"Thank you, Senior Meng." Xiao Qiang accepted it without ceremony, and Xiao Hongchen immediately bristled.

"That's my stuff! Why are you thanking her?!"

"Oh, and thank you too, Nephew."

Xiao Hongchen: "..."

"Just as expected of Xiao Hongchen's medicine. Not only is it effective, it doesn't even taste too bad."

After parting ways with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, Xiao Qiang returned and began taking the medicine Meng Hongchen had given him, which had come from Xiao Hongchen. With Brother Sky Dream helping Xiao Qiang refine the most essential parts of the medicine, Xiao Qiang's cultivation could practically be said to yield twice the result with half the effort.

"Not bad. Judging by medicine of this grade, you'll need at most half a year to reach level forty." After helping Xiao Qiang refine the medicinal power in his spiritual sea, Brother Sky Dream spoke.

"Half a year..." After cultivating, Xiao Qiang lay on his bed. With plenty of time now, he had the leisure to consider what he should do next.

"Brother Sky Dream, what exactly is the deal with spirit rings?"

"Huh?" Brother Sky Dream looked utterly baffled in the spiritual sea. He had not expected Xiao Qiang to suddenly ask such an inexplicable question.

"Why are you asking about that?"

"It's like this, Brother Sky Dream. As my One-Tomoe Sharingan evolved into the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, I've been able to vaguely see certain things. The Second Martial Soul you prepared for me seems to be an entirely jade-green scorpion, right?"

"Huh? You... how did you know?" Brother Sky Dream felt as though he had been seen through.

"I seem to remember telling you, Brother Sky Dream, that I can occasionally see things beneficial to me."

"Oh, right, right." Brother Sky Dream spoke guiltily, afraid that Xiao Qiang would see through his plans. Yet his poor attempt at concealing himself had clearly already revealed quite a lot.

"Brother Sky Dream, you..." Xiao Qiang frowned as he looked at Brother Sky Dream in the spiritual sea, but then he seemed to think of something. "Forget it. Anyway, I can sense that the outcome is good. Everything else isn't that important. Who in this world doesn't have a few private thoughts? As long as it doesn't harm me, it doesn't matter."

"Huh? You don't mind?"

"Does it harm me? If not, then I don't care. Who doesn't have some private thoughts of their own? Just don't dig a huge pit for me."

"Are you kidding? How could I possibly trick you? I'm still counting on you to attain immortality."

"Exactly. As long as it doesn't affect me, you can just tell me directly about anything you need."

"Xiao Qiang..."

"Brother Sky Dream, let's put the touching stuff aside for now. There's something serious I want to discuss with you."

"Something serious? What?"

"It's like this. I was thinking, with the two of us, plus the Second Martial Soul you prepared for me, with two top-tier martial souls, I have the greatest chance of becoming a god on the entire continent. But is there a way to add the power of some more spirit beasts and make that already-high possibility even greater?"

"Add the power of other spirit beasts? That's impossible. I was only able to become your Wisdom Spirit Ring because I had spent ten thousand years preparing beforehand. The Second Martial Soul I prepared for you also needs my preparations in order to preserve its consciousness within your spiritual sea. I have no way to stuff a third martial soul into you."

"Brother Sky Dream, hear me out first. I'm not asking you to stuff a third martial soul into me. It's like this—I started thinking about something when I saw spirit rings before. After humans kill spirit beasts, spirit rings emerge from the spirit beasts."

"Once a soul master's soul power reaches a whole-number level, they need to hunt spirit rings to raise their Soul Power Level. Normally, each whole-number rank has a fixed absorption limit. But spirit beasts seem to have a sacrificial method that allows soul masters to obtain higher-level spirit rings."

"Ten thousand years ago, Tang San used this method. He obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring as his sixth spirit ring. The foundation laid by that hundred-thousand-year spirit ring as his sixth spirit ring was the most important basis for him surpassing his peers by far. It was also that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring that later qualified him to become the Sea God."

"I imagine that, after seeing this, Brother Sky Dream, you wanted to become my Wisdom Spirit Ring and then help me acquire a top-tier Second Martial Soul and an initial spirit ring far beyond normal standards. You wanted me to crush everyone my age and replicate Tang San's path from ten thousand years ago on the road to godhood."

Brother Sky Dream nodded. "That's right. It was precisely because I saw him that I came up with the idea of creating a god. Come to think of it, this wasn't really my original creation either."

"Brother Sky Dream, you don't need to belittle yourself. There's nothing wrong with drawing on the experience of those before you and taking a route they've already proven can work. Who says that only the first person to walk that road is the most impressive?"

"Under circumstances where your innate limitations meant you could never walk that path yourself, you relied on that experience to blaze another trail—and the path you opened may even be more successful than that person's from ten thousand years ago. Brother Sky Dream, your ability is truly unparalleled."

"Th-that's not quite true." Brother Sky Dream waved his little hand. Though he said it wasn't quite true, the corners of his mouth simply would not come down.

"Not quite true? Brother Sky Dream, I haven't encountered any Inherited Godhood yet. What age is my third spirit ring?"

"One million years."

"Before he encountered Inherited Godhood, what age was his third spirit ring?"

"Two thousand years."

"How old was the first spirit ring of his Second Martial Soul?"

"By then, he had already encountered the matter of Inherited Godhood. His first spirit ring was one hundred thousand years old."

"Brother Sky Dream, how old is the first spirit ring of the Second Martial Soul you prepared for me?"

"Nearly 400,000 years."

"Brother Sky Dream, do you still think your plan is inferior to his?"

"It really isn't inferior to his. He only achieved it through Inherited Godhood, with all his spirit rings starting at one hundred thousand years. I can guarantee that at least eleven of your spirit rings will start at one hundred thousand years. But the other spirit rings..."

"Easy, Brother Sky Dream. If other Fierce Beasts can't become my third martial soul, then let's develop a Wisdom Spirit Ring system so that other Fierce Beasts can become my additional Wisdom Spirit Rings."
