Ye Lingling's Resolve

"Oh, what is the son-in-law's suggestion?"

After hearing Qing Mu's words, Ye Haitang asked with some curiosity.

Qing Mu said, "I think Lingling's Fourth Soul Ring could be at the ten-thousand-year level."

Upon hearing this, Ye Haitang frowned, but she knew that Qing Mu wasn't one to speak without reason, so she patiently asked:

"Why do I say that? You should know that for Support System Soul Master, being able to absorb a three-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring is already quite excellent. As for Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, only the Fifth Soul Ring is something they are qualified to absorb."

Although Yu Xiaogang's Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory is wrong, his numbers were not arbitrary.

Yu Xiaogang's explanation of the Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory is very simple; there are no complicated or obscure calculation formulas, it's just pure statistics.

The specific process should be that after reviewing a large amount of data, Yu Xiaogang discovered that among all those who successfully absorbed their First Soul Ring, the longest was 423 years, the Second Spirit Ring was 764 years, Third Soul Ring...

Following this logic, and integrating these historically documented highest records, we arrive at what Yu Xiaogang calls the absorption limit of the Spirit Master Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory.

But this also illustrates a point: the figure he gave is arguably the highest ever.

After all, if someone had successfully absorbed a 6,000-year- Soul Ring in their Fourth Soul Ring, then Yu Xiaogang would have written 6,000 years instead of 5,000 years when writing the absorption limit for the Fourth Soul Ring.

But Qing Mu actually suggested that Ye Lingling absorb a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Ring, which was far beyond common sense, so it's no wonder that Ye Haitang questioned it.

"That's how it's normally done."

Faced with Ye Haitang's doubts, Qing Mu first affirmed Ye Haitang's words, then changed the subject, saying, "However, Lingling's condition is not normal."

Seeing Ye Haitang's confusion, Qing Mu immediately explained, "The number of years Spirit Master can absorb Soul Ring is positively correlated with Spirit Master physical strength. This is why Assault System and Control System Spirit Master often absorb more Soul Ring than Support System Soul Masters."

Ye Haitang didn't react much to this, something that these major powers had already noticed, which is why they were consciously increasing the physical strength of their Spirit Master.

The next moment, Ye Haitang suddenly opened her eyes wide and said in shock, "Qing Mu, do you mean that Lingling's physical strength is now strong enough to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

"That's right. After being baptized by the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, Lingling's physical fitness is already higher than that of many Soul King. Theoretically, she can absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring," Qing Mu nodded.

"The only thing to worry about is the Soul Shock within the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but the Ye Family should have a way to temporarily increase the strength of their Spiritual Power, right?"

After Qing Mu finished speaking, Ye Haitang fell into deep thought. If what Qing Mu said was true, then Qing Mu's suggestion was indeed very Captivate.

The Fourth Soul Ring is ten thousand years, and no one has ever succeeded in this before. If successful, it means having an extra ten Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring compared to others.

Furthermore, the Soul Power feedback from the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring can save Ye Lingling a lot of cultivation time and increase her chances of becoming a Title Douluo.

But in the end, Ye Haitang did not make a decision on the spot. Instead, she said to Qing Mu and Ye Lingling:

"I need to think about this. You must be tired from your journey, go and rest first."

After saying that, Ye Haitang told someone to take Qing Mu to rest.

Upon hearing this, Qing Mu took Ye Lingling's hand and prepared to leave together, leaving Ye Haitang alone.

After all, this is a major event for the Ye Family, concerning the future of Ye Lingling, the heir. It's impossible for Ye Haitang to make a decision so easily based on just his words.

However, Ye Lingling shook her head at Qing Mu and said softly, "Qing Mu, you should go and rest first. I have some things to talk to my mother about."

Qing Mu glanced at Ye Lingling, and seeing her resolute expression, nodded and left under the guidance of the maid.

After Qing Mu left, Ye Lingling took a deep breath and faced her mother, saying, "Mom, I want to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as my Fourth Soul Ring!"

"Lingling, don't be stubborn!"

Hearing Ye Lingling's words, Ye Haitang patted Ye Lingling's head gently and said, "I need to discuss this matter with the elders and consider all factors before making a decision."

Although Qing Mu's suggestion was reasonable and tempting, Fourth Soul Ring that takes ten thousand years to form was still too shocking, and the consequences of failure should not be underestimated.

However, Ye Lingling remained unmoved and said, "No, I must absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as my Fourth Soul Ring. This is not a willful act, but a decision made after careful consideration!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Haitang fell silent, unable to understand why her daughter was so resolute.

Can you tell me your reason?

After a moment of silence, Ye Haitang asked.

Ye Lingling seemed to have prepared her answer in advance, and immediately blurted out. "First, I believe that my current state is sufficient to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

second..."

At this point, Ye Lingling paused, then continued, "I don't want to be left far behind by him!"

"... Are you really that confident?" Ye Haitang frowned as she looked at Ye Lingling.

"It was Qing Mu who gave me confidence!"

At this moment, a happy smile appeared on Ye Lingling's lips. "Mom, you don't know, long before I took the Immortal Herb, Qing Mu gave me a lot of Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly. The effect of this Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly is to greatly increase my physical fitness. At that time, my physical fitness was already comparable to many Assault System Soul Ancestor."

After that, my body was further baptized by the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Mom, you know how powerful this Immortal Herb is. If it were like this, I wouldn't even dare to challenge the Fourth Soul Ring after ten thousand years. Wouldn't that be a waste of what Qing Mu gave me?"

Looking at Ye Lingling's determined gaze, Ye Haitang couldn't help but sigh, rubbing her forehead in exasperation.

"I'm really impressed with you. Fine, I'll persuade the elders."

However, you are still too confident. Although your physical condition is sufficient, your current mental strength is still far from enough to cope with the Soul Shock of Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

"Come with me!"

Afterwards, Ye Lingling followed Ye Haitang to her room. To Ye Lingling's surprise, Ye Haitang casually pressed a few buttons, and the entrance to a secret room appeared in front of them.

Beneath the secret chamber lies a small room crafted from a special metal, and in the center of that room stand two glowing bones.

Upon seeing the two bones, Ye Lingling's previously calm expression was instantly shattered.

These are actually two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!
