"All right, no need to be so nervous. Leave quickly."

Innate Full Soul Power was indeed rare, but Feng Xiaotian's martial soul was incompatible with hers, so he wasn't worth taking as a disciple.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord."

The group nodded repeatedly in delight and quickly left the area.

Qian Renxin said nothing more.

Feng Xiaotian's talent was decent, but not enough for Qian Renxin to actively recruit him.

Perhaps if he voluntarily pledged allegiance someday, Qian Renxin could reluctantly accept him.

He raised the God-Demon Giant Sword and struck several times before finally beheading the Swift Wind Wolf King.

A deep-purple spirit ring appeared above the corpse, countless tiny motes of light rippling within it.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately sat down and began absorbing it.

Elsewhere, the group from Godwind Academy had fled over a thousand meters before they dared to stop.

The middle-aged Spirit King said indignantly, "One Titled Douluo and one child—what use would they have for a six-thousand-year spirit ring? They're going too far..."

Feng Lingtian said calmly, "Say less of that."

Having wandered the Soul Master World for so long, he understood that there was only one principle there: strength.

If you lacked strength, it was useless no matter how eloquently you spoke.

When absolute strength crushed you, Ling Yuan and Qian Renxin had already been quite restrained. At least they had not coveted their wealth or lives.

At that moment, Feng Xiaotian, who had remained silent all along, asked, "Uncle Tian, could it be that the young man wanted to absorb the spirit ring himself?"

The question drew soft laughter from the others.

Feng Lingtian was also rather helpless. Stroking Feng Xiaotian's head, he explained:

"There is a limit to the spirit rings human soul masters can absorb. At that boy's age, absorbing a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast ring would already be extraordinary, let alone one that's six thousand years old. That is an age limit that at least a Spirit King can absorb."

Feng Xiaotian fell silent afterward.

While they had been fleeing, he had secretly glanced back.

He had only seen Qian Renxin raise his giant sword and behead the Swift Wind Wolf King; he had not seen the moment he absorbed the spirit ring.

But if it was not for absorbing the spirit ring, then why had Qian Renxin seized the spirit beast and personally beheaded it...?

Countless doubts surfaced in his heart.

Searching for the Third Spirit Ring, the Appearance of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

Qian Renxin sat cross-legged on the spot.

Very quickly, he completely absorbed the spirit ring of the more than six-thousand-year-old Swift Wind Wolf King.

Two purple spirit rings circled around his body.

Information about his second spirit skill, Wind Howling Sword Qi, also surfaced in his mind.

It could condense wind-attribute power onto the blade. Not only could it increase the giant sword's attack speed and sharpness, but it could also be controlled to unleash sword qi. It could be used in both close combat and ranged combat.

In God Form, he could swing out circular holy-light sword qi with a killing range of roughly thirty meters.

In Demon Form, wind-attribute power would enhance his sword-light attacks and attack speed, making his attacks even more lethal.

This spirit ring provided considerable enhancement to all three of his martial souls.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Qian Renxin and Ling Yuan returned to the camp and reunited with Yue Guan.

"Congratulations to Young Master on obtaining your second spirit ring."

Yue Guan bent at the waist as he offered his congratulations.

Finding spirit beasts had always been troublesome. He had not expected Qian Renxin to gain such a great harvest simply by going out for a stroll.

Qian Renxin was in a good mood as well. Looking toward the tent, he asked, "How is Elder Gui's spirit bone absorption progressing?"

"Almost done. It should be finished in another two or three days," Yue Guan replied.

Qian Renxin nodded and did not rush to search for his third spirit ring just yet.

He wanted to try challenging a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

A ten-thousand-year spirit ring and a thousand-year spirit ring could be said to mark a dividing line.

Not only did absorbing one bring Soul Impact, but its spirit skill's power would also rise dramatically.

And if he wanted to hunt a spirit ring as quickly as possible, he could only venture deep into the core region.

The spirit beasts in the core region were generally stronger. Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were fewer in number, while the chances of encountering ten-thousand-year spirit beasts were greater.

They had even heard reports of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast being spotted there.

To be safe, Qian Renxin decided to wait until Gui Mei had finished absorbing the soul bone before setting out for the core region.

He took out an Adamant Body-Tempering Vine from his Spatial Soul Tool.

This spiritual herb was only around ten thousand years old, and its effects were not much different from those of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

For the time being, Qian Renxin did not need a medicinal herb with effects that were too powerful. He only needed to raise his physical condition by another level so that he could steadily bear a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

He held the herb in his hand and began refining it.

His physical condition had become increasingly terrifying, and the amount of Soul Power his body could contain had grown even more astonishing. He estimated it was at least three times that of Soul Masters at the same level.

Yet that was far from his goal.

Soul Masters with ultimate martial souls had always been far stronger than ordinary Soul Masters, but their cultivation speed was correspondingly slower.

This was not a drawback of ultimate martial souls.

Rather, cultivating ultimate power required a stronger physique to withstand it, so Soul Masters with ultimate martial souls had to spend more time tempering their bodies.

And Qian Renxin's martial soul could temper several kinds of ultimate power.

For example, Ultimate Light, Ultimate Darkness, Extreme Fire, Extreme Ice...

The powerful physique required would naturally far surpass that of his peers.

Fortunately, with factors such as spiritual herbs and Innate Level Thirty supporting him, his cultivation speed would definitely not be slow.

Three days later, Gui Mei came to report after absorbing the soul bone, a trace of excitement on his face.

He walked up to Qian Renxin and bowed.

"Young Master, the soul bone has been completely absorbed."

"Mm. Then let's head for the core region now."

Qian Renxin nodded and hurried deeper into the Star Dou Forest.

"Young Master, what kind of Soul Beast do you need for your third soul ring? And roughly what age?"

Yue Guan hurriedly asked.

Gui Mei and Ling Yuan had already shown their skills, helping the Young Master obtain his first and second soul rings.

As for him, despite benefiting the most from the spiritual herbs, he had not been able to offer much help in the search for soul rings. It was truly rather embarrassing.

"Mm... one that possesses both Light and Dark Attributes."

Qian Renxin thought for a moment before answering seriously, "As for its age, above ten thousand years but below twelve thousand."

The corner of Yue Guan's mouth twitched.

Light and darkness alone were not particularly rare attributes.

But possessing both attributes at once was exceedingly rare.

No wonder the Young Master had personally entered the sparsely populated core region just to find a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. They could only try their luck there.

After entering the core region, the vegetation became even denser. Without any man-made paths, they could only weave through the grass, as though they had entered an untouched primeval forest to explore.

Qian Renxin's group searched the area for over a month.

Yet they found no ten-thousand-year Soul Beast that possessed both Light and Dark Attributes.

Just as Qian Renxin was about to give up and switch his target to another type of Soul Beast, a dark-black tiger suddenly sprang out. Its golden eyes were brilliant and profound, while the two fangs jutting from its mouth resembled Death's scythes.

Its tail was made of countless bone segments, with a huge barbed hook at the tip that gleamed with a cold, eerie light.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were the first to sense that something was wrong, stepping sideways to shield Qian Renxin.

"This is... a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"

Qian Renxin frowned. He had not expected to encounter one.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was certainly powerful, but a sixty-thousand-year soul ring was not something he could handle yet.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had suddenly appeared did not attack. Instead, it stared fixedly at Qian Renxin.

"Ling Yuan, once Old Gui and I use the Two Extremes Stillness Domain, take the Young Master and leave first. We'll catch up afterward."

Yue Guan spoke solemnly, shedding his usual frivolous demeanor.

Judging by its age, the tiger was at most sixty thousand years old.

But its strength was definitely far beyond that, to the point that it even gave him a faint sense of pressure.

To be safe, they first had to ensure the Young Master's safety.

"Understood."

Ling Yuan spread her wings and crouched down. "Young Master, get on quickly."

"Wait."

Qian Renxin seemed to have noticed something unusual and did not rush to flee.

The ferocious Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lay prone on the ground, then rolled over to expose its belly, like a pet cat waiting for its owner to soothe it.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood frozen in place.

They could not understand why that terrifying soul beast was suddenly acting cute.

Qian Renxin became interested.

A soul beast's temperament was not much different from that of ordinary animals. Taking the initiative to expose its belly represented trust and submission.

Thinking back to the original work's introduction of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

It had originally been a supremely kind white tiger.

In the end, it had become an entirely new soul beast due to the arrival of the God of Evil.

And there was no need to say anything about his own identity. He was precisely the inheritor of the Evil God King.

He tentatively activated the Evil Origin.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger rolled back onto its feet and nodded with remarkable human-like understanding. Then, it too released its own supremely evil power.

"Looks like it means no harm..."

Qian Renxin's guess was confirmed.

But just in case, he did not approach the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and continued to maintain a safe distance.

"Do you know where I can find a soul beast with both Light and Dark Attributes?"

Qian Renxin thought for a moment, then added, "Around ten thousand years old."
