Yu Xiaogang's Theory Began to Collapse

Qian Daoliu agreed.

Thus, the group went to capture a Thousand-Year Radiant Shield Beast.

For a Titled Douluo, catching a Thousand-Year Soul Beast was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken!

Before long, a Radiant Shield Beast that had just passed a thousand years of cultivation was brought before Qian Renxue.

Surrounded by a group of Titled Douluo, the Radiant Shield Beast trembled all over.

Even though only a six-year-old girl, a Level 20 Soul Master, stood before it, it did not dare bare its fangs.

Qian Renxue gripped a treasured sword and plunged it into the Radiant Shield Beast's throat.

Blood flowed, and the Radiant Shield Beast soon breathed its last.

A purple Thousand-Year Spirit Ring swiftly formed above it.

"How do you plan to do this?" Qian Daoliu looked at Lucifer.

Lucifer raised two fingers. "Two methods!"

"One is like last time: after Qian Renxue loses consciousness because she cannot endure it, I take over her body!"

"The other is for me to control her body throughout the entire process of absorbing the Spirit Ring!"

Qian Daoliu pressed, "What is the difference?"

"The result is the same. The difference is whether you are willing to let Qian Renxue suffer a little!"

Lucifer explained unhurriedly, "Based on the theoretical experience accumulated by Soul Masters across Douluo Continent..."

"Setting aside external factors such as Soul Beast compatibility, the upper limit of a Spirit Ring's age is mainly influenced by three aspects of a Soul Master's own qualities!"

"Physical Quality, Spiritual Power Intensity, and Spirit Quality."

Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Lucifer to know so much.

Lucifer continued, "Qian Renxue possesses Innate Full Soul Power Level 20, and her Spirit Quality is already maxed out!"

"Therefore, the upper limit of the Spirit Ring age she can absorb is mainly affected by her Physical Quality and Spiritual Power Intensity!"

Qian Daoliu nodded. "You are right!"

Qian Renxue's Physical Quality and Spiritual Power Intensity were already at the peak among children her age.

But she was only six years old, after all.

Her body had not yet developed, and she had never cultivated her Spiritual Power.

So even though she could absorb two Spirit Rings in succession as soon as her spirit awakened, she still could not break through the thousand-year threshold.

Nor could Qian Daoliu possibly make her wait another year or two to absorb her Spirit Rings.

Although other genius Soul Masters could not compare to the Six-winged Angel in Spirit Quality and did not possess Innate Full Soul Power Level 20—

by the time they reached Level 20, they were much older than Qian Renxue.

Their bodies had developed, and they had cultivated their Spiritual Power for several years.

When they absorbed their Second Spirit Ring, their theoretical age limits were somewhat lower, but not by much.

Lucifer continued, "When absorbing the Second Spirit Ring, I can maximize her Spiritual Power Intensity!"

"That will raise her Spirit Ring Year Limit considerably!"

"Even if the Spirit Ring slightly exceeds her Body Tolerance Limit, she can still force her way through it with powerful Spiritual Power!"

A sharp gleam burst from Qian Daoliu's eyes!

Misfortune and blessing truly went hand in hand!

If so, Qian Renxue's cultivation before becoming a Titled Douluo would proceed far more smoothly!

"So, which do you choose?" Lucifer asked.

"Xue'er!" Qian Daoliu signaled for Qian Renxue to decide for herself.

Qian Renxue did not hesitate. "I want to try it myself first!"

Her answer did not surprise Lucifer.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunjie nodded in satisfaction.

The several worshippers also secretly praised her.

Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the ground. Using Soul Power as a guide and her mind as a bridge, she began drawing in the Purple Spirit Ring.

The purple ring hovered above her head, its Soul Power winding like threads and seeping into her meridians.

Her brows furrowed slightly as she endured the impact of the surging energy and the Soul Beast's resentment.

After some time, Qian Renxue's entire body trembled, her meridians already stretched to their limit by the Soul Power!

Yet the Purple Spirit Ring continued pouring Soul Power into her without end!

She bit through her lip and forced herself to endure...

In the end, with a cry of pain, her mind reached its limit. It collapsed, and she fell unconscious!

Just like last time, Lucifer seamlessly took over her body.

This body was now wracked by excruciating pain, its meridians seeming ready to burst apart!

But Lucifer remained completely unfazed.

This bit of pain was nothing to him!

Relying on his powerful Spiritual Power, Lucifer forcibly controlled this body beyond its limits and continued absorbing the Spirit Ring!

The final stage of absorbing the Second Spirit Ring was completed smoothly!

A Purple Spirit Ring now pulsed and flickered above the first Yellow Spirit Ring!

At this sight, Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunjie, and the others all widened their eyes, their faces filled with excitement!

Qian Xunjie said, "Her Second Spirit Ring is a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!"

Qian Daoliu said, "Xue'er will surely become a powerhouse who surpasses every ancestor of the Qian Family!"

"..."

After this incident, Qian Daoliu and the others felt much more favorably toward Lucifer. The danger he brought was far away, while the benefits were right before their eyes!

Of course, Lucifer did not care about that.

He had no interest in pleasing others. He had always acted only according to his own wishes—whether tormenting people or helping them.

Lucifer left Qian Renxue's body.

He did not enjoy entering the Body Possession state now.

This body was like a set of shackles, restricting his strength.

If not for stirring up trouble before, he would not have been interested in seizing control of her body either.

"Xue'er!" Qian Daoliu immediately stepped forward, intending to wake Qian Renxue.

"You had better not wake her up right now!" Lucifer kindly reminded him.

Qian Daoliu stopped and turned his head. "Hm? Why?"

"The Soul Power of a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring exceeded her tolerance limit. I only managed to forcibly complete the Spirit Ring absorption through my powerful Spiritual Power!"

"Her meridians were nearly burst apart by the excessive Soul Power, and she is in tremendous pain right now!"

"If you want her to suffer less, wait for her body to recover for a while before waking her!"

After saying that, Lucifer dissipated.

Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Thank you!"

The group continued on their journey.

Qian Daoliu carried Qian Renxue as he flew ahead, while Qian Xunjie and the several worshippers followed behind.

They traveled swiftly and returned to Spirit City before long.

This disturbance caused by Lucifer could finally be considered settled.

Lucifer had also achieved his goal through it.

Upon learning that Qian Renxue had returned, Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately rushed to Bibi Dong's residence and informed her.

"Thank you both for making the trip, but I have no interest in this sort of matter!"

Bibi Dong's expression was calm, though she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet Yue Guan seemed not to hear her. "The Young Master successfully added two Spirit Rings! Among them..."

"The Second Spirit Ring is a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!"

Bibi Dong's expression turned grave as she stared intently at Yue Guan. "What? A Thousand-Year Second Spirit Ring?"

This had already exceeded the limits of her understanding!

According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, a Soul Master could only add a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as their third Spirit Ring.

As someone hopelessly devoted to Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong naturally knew his theories by heart and believed in them without question!

Instinctively, she was unwilling to believe something that did not conform to Yu Xiaogang's theory.

"That is impossible!"

"How could a Soul Master endure a Thousand-Year Second Spirit Ring?"

"The Qian Family has never produced such a case in all its generations!"
