Yu Xiaogang's Ten-Year Old Sow Spirit Ring

Yu Xiaogang was extremely curious about how Xiao Wu had obtained her Spirit Ring. Her luck had simply been far too good.

But seeing that Xiao Wu had no intention of explaining, he could not be bothered to ask. No matter how strong Xiao Wu was, could she possibly surpass his disciple with Twin Martial Souls?

Besides, his injuries were the most pressing matter right now. Although this was the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest, it was still quite dangerous.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly called Tang San over to pack their things and prepare to return to Nuoding Academy.

On the way back to Nuoding Academy, Yu Xiaogang was gouged by the carriage driver once again. He groaned inwardly and swore that once he became a high-level Soul Master, the first thing he would do was destroy this Carriage House in Nuoding City.

"A bunch of blind fools! How dare you cheat Master Yu Xiaogang out of his money!"

"Ding-dong! Respected Master Yu Xiaogang, you have completed the quest. Your Soul Power has been raised to level 30. Keep up the good work."

At Nuoding Academy, Yu Xiaogang, who had been sleeping in his dormitory, was suddenly startled awake by the voice in his mind. He immediately realized that he had broken through to level 30.

"Level 30, level 30!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Yu Xiaogang laughed loudly.

Level 30 was a dividing line among Soul Masters. Only after passing level 30 could he be considered a moderately strong expert.

Feeling the surging Soul Power within him, Yu Xiaogang was probably only this happy when he held hands with Bibi Dong.

Yu Xiaogang asked in his mind, "System, System, since I've broken through level 30, does that mean I can obtain a Spirit Ring now?"

"System, give me some advice!"

"Warning, warning. Host, please be aware that this system is not your nanny. Watch your language."

Yu Xiaogang immediately dared not speak further. He knew this system had a bad temper. If it got angry, it might lower him from the level 30 he had just reached.

Not even bothering to sleep anymore, he hurriedly rolled out of bed and ran to the bookshelf to search for books on choosing Spirit Rings.

This time, he was choosing a Spirit Ring for himself. He could not be as casual as he had been when choosing one for Tang San.

He, Yu Xiaogang, had to choose a Soul Beast that was both powerful and old enough.

That bullshit theory he had told Tang San could be listened to, but Yu Xiaogang would not be stupid enough to fool himself with it.

"Should I choose the White Armored Dragon, the Golden Snake, or the Black Iron Crocodile?"

"Sigh, choosing a Soul Elder's Spirit Ring really is difficult!"

Yu Xiaogang smugly muttered to himself at his desk.

Though his words were full of worry, there was not the slightest sign of it on his face. He was clearly showing off while pretending to complain.

But would Li Chen let him have such an easy time? Of course not!

"Ding-dong!"

"This system has detected that the host is strongly displaying the behavior of showing off while pretending to complain. Such behavior is extremely contemptible. By this system's decision, your third Spirit Ring will be changed into a Restricted Spirit Ring."

"A Restricted Spirit Ring? What does that mean?"

Yu Xiaogang had a bad feeling in his heart. His instincts had always been accurate.

"It means that the host may only choose a specific Soul Beast. This system will select the species of that Soul Beast, and you may not choose a Soul Beast freely."

Yu Xiaogang asked tremblingly, "Respected System, may I ask if you can tell me what Soul Beast I can choose for my Spirit Ring?"

"A ten-year Scented Pig!"

Yu Xiaogang sucked in a breath. He was far too familiar with Little Scented Pigs. Every day, he ate minced meat noodles, and what made those noodles expensive was partly the broth and partly the minced topping made from Little Scented Pig meat!

But while this thing was delicious, it did not seem to have any offensive power. It was on par with the Sky Star Grass Tang San had absorbed.

"Lord System, could you perhaps have made a mistake? How can a Little Scented Pig serve as a Spirit Ring? Little Scented Pigs are usually slaughtered for meat after just two years. How could there possibly be a Little Scented Pig that lived for ten years?"

"Host, do not question this system's decision. Of course, Little Scented Pigs do not live for ten years."

"But I said Scented Pig. If there are no ten-year Little Scented Pigs, you can find an Old Scented Pig!"

Meanwhile, Li Chen and Xiao Wu were enjoying a celebratory feast at the Rose Restaurant, celebrating Xiao Wu officially becoming a Soul Master!

Yu Xiaogang had completed his quest, and his level had risen to 18. As long as he cultivated two more levels on his own, he could obtain his second Spirit Ring.

"This speed probably isn't slow among transmigrators, right?"

"Li Chen, don't forget your Main Quest. Messing with Tang San is only secondary. Your main goal is to unify the continent, then drastically raise its technological level!"

Li Chen looked at the little ball in his mind. "Tangyuan, it's not like I've found the opportunity yet. Nuoding City is just too small."

"I've looked all around and haven't found anyone suitable to work for me. Let's talk about it once we get to Suotuo City. There are lots of people there, and they're all rather foolish."

Little Tangyuan puffed up her cheeks angrily. "Li Chen, I knew you were a chronic procrastinator. Back in Holy Spirit Village, you said you'd start after arriving in Nuoding City. Once you got to Nuoding City, you said you'd start after arriving in Suotuo City."

"I want to see what excuse you'll find once you get to Suotuo City. Hmph!"

Outside Nuoding City, at the Sow Breeding Center.

A plump middle-aged woman looked at Yu Xiaogang with a face full of suspicion.

"Lord Soul Master, what do you want a ten-year-old sow for? If you want to eat pork, piglets are best. Their meat is tender!"

Yu Xiaogang kept a straight face and said nothing, thoroughly frightening the woman.

After quite a while, Yu Xiaogang finally said slowly, "I'm using it for an experiment. As for what experiment, you needn't concern yourself with that."

"Ten Gold Soul Coins, Lord Soul Master. That's already the lowest price."

"No problem. Take it."

Yu Xiaogang was exceptionally decisive this time. As for why he had not bought a ten-year Little Scented Pig and had instead come here to buy an Old Sow—

He did not want to talk about it. The more he said, the more tears there would be.

Yu Xiaogang had originally been excitedly preparing to choose his third Spirit Ring, only to be dealt a crushing blow. Fine, a Little Scented Pig it was, but what made him miserable was that he had searched all over Nuoding City and still could not find a single Little Scented Pig older than three years.

He could not possibly directly absorb a two- or three-year Spirit Ring, could he?

That damn system had mercifully granted him a little authority, allowing him to choose an ordinary pig if he truly could not find a Little Scented Pig.

After a difficult internal struggle, Yu Xiaogang finally chose a ten-year Old Sow as his third Spirit Ring. In his view, the age was more important.

Besides, the breeds of those two things were not all that different anyway.

Yu Xiaogang did not bring the ten-year-old sow back to his dormitory. Instead, he casually found a small grove.

Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the unusually transparent Spirit Ring, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

"That's right. An ordinary sow isn't a Soul Beast, so the Soul Power in its body is pitifully scarce."
