"Don't get so worked up. I only leveled up a little. That's perfectly normal, isn't it?"
Seeing everyone from Notting Academy standing there dumbfounded, Qin He sighed softly and spoke.
He did not want to reveal Level 20 strength the moment he obtained a soul ring, but circumstances did not allow it!
With his invincible strength, being able to suppress it to this level after obtaining a soul ring was already quite difficult.
In fact, in order to maintain the appearance of being Level 20 and avoid breaking the Soul Power Tester, Qin He had worked very hard!
"This is what you call leveling up a little?"
Headmaster Zhao Chong's eyes widened, and he dearly wished he could tear this show-off in front of him to pieces!
Was that even human speech?
Level 20 at six years old—this rate of advancement had already broken Notting Academy's limits!
Even across the Douluo Continent, such cases were exceedingly rare!
More importantly, Qin He had not achieved such a high level through diligent cultivation.
This guy slept at the academy all day. Put nicely, he was deliberately suppressing his Soul Power and hiding his true abilities. Put bluntly, he was lazy and neglected proper work!
"Boss really is amazing! His Soul Power had been suppressed for two months, so what's strange about reaching Level 20 once it erupted?"
Xiao Chenyu looked proud. "But at Level 20, doesn't that mean he can obtain his second soul ring?"
Xiao Chenyu had only said it casually. He had never imagined that a soul master could obtain two soul rings in a single day.
What a joke!
Soul Power cultivation had to progress step by step. After obtaining your first soul ring, how could your Soul Power possibly surge to the point where you could immediately obtain a second one?
Wait, a second soul ring?
While Zhao Chong was still stunned, Qin He's demonic hand reached toward the second, larger purple soul ring.
"Headmaster, there's a five-thousand-year soul ring here. It would be a waste to leave it unabsorbed!"
"Besides, it's too troublesome to come back to the Soul Hunting Forest next time. I might as well absorb it while I'm at it!"
Before Headmaster Zhao Chong could react, Qin He's hand landed on the second soul ring once more!
Qin He truly meant it.
To a Level 1000 Qin He, soul rings were merely decorations for appearances. Whether he absorbed them or not seemed to have no effect on his strength.
However, people on the Douluo Continent seemed to value soul rings greatly, so Qin He could only reluctantly put on a show.
Besides, suppressing Soul Power was exhausting.
Pretending to be Level 30 was surely easier than pretending to be Level 20, right?
With a ready-made soul ring right in front of him, and no need to run all over the place, why not make use of it quickly?
What was more, the conditions in this lousy Soul Hunting Forest were truly terrible. He could not even sleep peacefully.
Qin He did not want to be forced by the headmaster to come to the Soul Hunting Forest again after some time, only to endure another stretch of such miserable days!
Since that was the case, he might as well do it all at once and absorb both soul rings!
"Holy shit!"
"This is insane! Young Lord Qin He has gone mad!"
"He just absorbed a thousand-year soul ring, and now he's about to absorb a second five-thousand-year soul ring!"
"Those are soul rings! The foundation of a soul master! They're not hula hoops!"
"Why isn't anyone stopping him?"
"Who can stop him? Absorbing a soul ring cannot be interrupted carelessly, or the consequences will be impossible to predict!"
For a moment, whether they were students or teachers from Notting Academy, everyone present felt their scalps go numb at the sight.
"Damn it, what do you mean it's too troublesome? What do you mean it would be a waste to leave the soul ring there? Absorb them together? Qin He, fuck your grandfather!"
The veins on Headmaster Zhao Chong's forehead bulged. Qin He's maneuver had clearly left his scalp numb as well!
To soul masters of the Douluo Continent, Qin He's actions were practically a death wish!
Absorbing two soul rings in succession—looking through all of history, no idiot soul master had ever done something so insane!
"Boss Qin He is going to absorb a second soul ring? Damn, doesn't that mean Boss's soul master level is about to surpass mine?"
At the side, Xiao Chenyu stared blankly at the scene before him and muttered to himself.
He, Xiao Chenyu, had only managed to obtain a hundred-year soul ring in the Soul Hunting Forest and become a two-ring, Level 21 Great Soul Master.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Boss Qin He had absorbed two soul rings in a row. His Soul Power level was actually about to catch up?
As expected of Boss!
Although Xiao Chenyu knew that Boss cultivated quickly and would catch up to him sooner or later, they had only been in the Soul Hunting Forest for a few days, and Boss was already about to catch up. That was a little too ridiculous!
"Xiao Chenyu, you idiot! Is this about whether he can catch up or not?"
After hearing Xiao Chenyu's words, Headmaster Zhao Chong's face darkened like the bottom of a pot.
Xiao Chenyu suddenly understood. "Headmaster, are you saying that Young Lord Qin He absorbing a second soul ring is about making full use of soul beast resources, protecting the environment, and preserving soul beast resources?"
That was right. So Young Lord Qin He's actions carried such profound meaning.
There were not actually that many soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.
For a soul beast to grow to a hundred years old, it had to face capture by soul masters and attacks from other soul beasts in the forest. Growing up was far from easy.
Meanwhile, when soul masters searched the forests for suitable soul rings, they likely killed enough soul beasts to pile into mountains.
Soul masters slaughtered recklessly, and the number of soul beasts dwindled more and more. After a while, the soul beasts in the forests would probably go extinct!
Without soul beasts, would the profession of soul master not disappear as well?
Therefore, although Young Lord Qin He absorbing a second five-thousand-year soul ring was only a small step toward protecting soul beast resources, it carried immensely far-reaching significance!
"Get lost!"
Headmaster Zhao Chong cursed with a stern face, unwilling to say another word.
What the hell did protecting the environment have to do with anything?
Even if what you said made sense, what did environmental protection have to do with me?
Aren't you worried that Qin He will suddenly die from absorbing too many soul rings?
"Pfft!"
Zhao He spat out a mouthful of blood. His injuries from fighting the Mandala Snake seemed to worsen slightly after witnessing Qin He's stunt!
At the same time, on Qin He's side, when his hand touched the second soul ring, the phantom of the Mandala Snake faintly stirred above it.
A larger purple ring rose above Qin He's head. Without giving him any chance to react, the purple ring suddenly contracted and slipped around Qin He's neck once again!
There was not the slightest sense of rejection!
There was not the slightest discomfort!
The two purple soul rings radiated dazzling light, as though they intended to illuminate the entire pitch-black Soul Hunting Forest!
Qin He's expression was calm as still water, as though this were only natural.
"Did he succeed? How is that possible? He succeeded that easily?"
Headmaster Zhao Chong held his breath, even suspecting that his eyes had gone wrong.
