Meng Yiran told Snake Grandma everything that had happened over the past few days during their conversation, leaving Snake Grandma astonished. She had never expected Zhao Zilong, a mere youth, to possess such great ability that he could help Dugu Bo detoxify himself.
A few days later, Zhao Zilong and his group arrived at Thunder Gorge.
"Zilong, you want a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring?" Upon hearing Zhao Zilong's request, Dragon Duke Meng Shu immediately refused. "No. Fourth Spirit Rings are usually around five thousand years. A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring is far too old. Only once Soul Power reaches level fifty can one withstand a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring."
"That applies only to ordinary Soul Masters." Zhao Zilong explained, "I obtained an excellent Immortal Herb from Dugu Bo's medicinal garden. It strengthened my physique, and I believe I can absorb a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring now. Please, Senior Dragon Duke."
Seeing Zhao Zilong persist so firmly, Meng Yiran worriedly said, "Zilong, even my grandmother only absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring after reaching level sixty. No one has ever heard of someone absorbing one at level forty! And didn't that Master say the limit for the Fourth Spirit Ring was around fifty-five hundred years?"
Zhao Zilong rolled his eyes at that. "What Yu Xiaogang said only applies to the vast majority of Soul Masters. That doesn't mean every Soul Master has to absorb Spirit Rings according to his framework, does it?"
"Don't worry. I would never say this if I weren't certain. I never do anything I'm not sure of." Zhao Zilong patted Meng Yiran's shoulder and smiled. "If you believe me, then support me."
"But..." Meng Yiran wanted to say more, but when she saw the confidence in Zhao Zilong's eyes, she said nothing
