Absorbing a Soul Ring Beyond One's Level

"Did he truly like Xiao Wu, or was he after her soul ring and soul bone?" Ah Rou was not entirely sure.

Tang San's father was a Title Douluo.

Before a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation reached maturity, any expert above Spirit Douluo could discern its identity.

Xiao Wu had not been transformed for long. She still had a very long way to go before reaching maturity.

At the very least, she would need to cultivate to Soul Saint before she could conceal the aura of a spirit beast. Even if she appeared before experts above Spirit Douluo, they would not discover her spirit beast identity.

But Xiao Wu had appeared before a Title Douluo from the very beginning.

Perhaps her identity as a spirit beast had not been exposed at first, but after she returned to Holy Spirit Village with Tang San and entered Tang Hao's field of attention, Tang Hao had certainly seen through her identity as a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation.

Ah Rou did not want to think in such a dark direction.

But conspiracy theories were so popular precisely because they were more compelling.

Ah Rou suspected that Tang Hao had seen through Xiao Wu's identity. He had not acted yet, but that might only be because he intended to leave her for his son, Tang San.

Perhaps he even wanted Tang San to trick Xiao Wu into sacrificing herself for him...

Just as the Blue Silver Emperor had sacrificed herself for Tang Hao.

Viewed through the lens of conspiracy theories, Tang Hao and Ah Yin's love story was not so simple either.

Ah Yin: Why am I getting dragged into this? I already fled to the Blue Silver Forest. I won't leave until I become a Title Douluo. Surely I can survive until the end now, right?

Lin Xianyu: As long as you hide carefully enough, surviving until the end won't be a problem!

Xiao Wu looked at the worried Ah Rou and said speechlessly, "You're worrying over nothing again. The Sky Screen is showing the future decades from now. As long as we're here, do we need to worry about Xiao Wu being deceived?"

"Besides, our Xiao Wu is smart as a whip. There's no way she'd fall for a scam."

As he spoke, Xiao Wu reached out and patted Xiao Wu's head.

Not bad. It was fluffy and felt really nice to touch.

Xiao Wu tilted her head up and declared proudly, "That's right. I'm not stupid. I'm not that easy to fool."

Seeing the identical expressions on the father and daughter, Ah Rou let out a helpless sigh.

Two fools.

One big fool and one little fool.

Without her, this family would fall apart.

The Peerless Dragon Snake left with their granddaughter, Meng Yiran.

Their luck today had truly been terrible.

They had found a spirit beast suitable for their granddaughter, only for it to escape, and its soul ring had gone to someone else.

Then they had found another spirit beast suitable for their granddaughter, only for it to escape as well, and in the end, its soul ring had become someone else's too.

Things never happened three times.

When they went looking for a suitable spirit beast for their granddaughter for the third time, surely no one would steal it from them again, right?

"Little Ao, give me a Recovery Sausage." Tang San was somewhat weak, but he needed to adjust his condition, absorb the soul ring dropped by the Man Faced Demon Spider, and then go look for Xiao Wu.

Oscar decisively gave Tang San a Recovery Sausage.

Tang San ate the Recovery Sausage Oscar had made and began adjusting his condition.

Once he had recovered, he immediately began absorbing the soul ring dropped by the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Zhao Wuji had wanted to persuade Tang San to choose another spirit beast for his third soul ring.

But Tang San refused. He was short on time and in no mood to search for another suitable spirit beast for his third soul ring.

Seeing that he could not persuade Tang San, Zhao Wuji simply stopped trying.

Tang San's absorption of the soul ring dropped by the Man Faced Demon Spider went smoothly at first, but problems arose later.

This Man Faced Demon Spider was quite powerful, with cultivation nearing two thousand years. It far exceeded the limit of the third soul ring Tang San could absorb.

If he failed to absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider's third soul ring, Tang San would very likely be burst apart by the soul ring's energy.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"He should be able to absorb this Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring, right?" Madam Ning said uncertainly.

Normally, the limit for a third soul ring was a little over seventeen hundred years.

Beyond that limit, soul masters could easily explode and die while absorbing a soul ring.

But Tang San was different.

He was the protagonist of the story being shown on the Sky Screen.

What protagonist died so suddenly?

Therefore, he would surely absorb this soul ring beyond the limit and create an incredible miracle.

"If he succeeds in absorbing it, I think someone will definitely study how to absorb soul rings beyond the limit," Ning Fengzhi said.

"If he succeeds, how will he have done it?" Madam Ning asked curiously.

"If I knew how he did it, I would have already become famous throughout the world," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

It was not easy to become a theoretical master.

The soul master world was currently focused on how to increase strength, while very few people conducted research.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did conduct research.

But their research standards were too poor, and they had not produced anything worthwhile.

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's secret technique, Heart Separation Control, had been developed long ago.

"You can take a guess at how he did it," Madam Ning said.

"If I had to guess, then if he succeeds, it will definitely be because of the secret manual he cultivated, the 'Mysterious Heaven Skill,'" Ning Fengzhi said.

"Uh... the 'Mysterious Heaven Skill' he cultivated should be a Soul Power cultivation method. Even those special Spirit Abilities merely enhance combat strength..." Madam Ning had thought about it as well.

"I suspect the 'Mysterious Heaven Skill' he cultivated can improve physical fitness," Ning Fengzhi said. "With a powerful physique, one can naturally absorb soul rings beyond one's level."

"According to you, absorbing soul rings beyond one's level is related to a soul master's physical fitness. Has no one used that as a basis for research?" Madam Ning asked curiously.

"Someone must have researched it, but the fact that it was never widely adopted means there is a problem," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Huh, why did the Sky Screen change scenes?" Madam Ning had continued watching the Sky Screen. She had expected to see the result of Tang San absorbing a soul ring beyond his level, but the Sky Screen suddenly shifted and switched to Tang Hao, the Title Douluo.

Clear Sky Sect.

Seeing the middle-aged old-man version of his younger brother appear on the Sky Screen, Tang Xiao was left speechless.

He looked at his young younger brother standing beside him, then at the middle-aged old-man version of him on the Sky Screen, and could not help sighing. "Time truly is a butcher's knife. Little brother, you actually turned into that after growing up..."

Tang Hao said gloomily, "I won't repeat those mistakes."

He did not want to become that old man on the Sky Screen.

He had lost his wife, been expelled from his sect, and been left with nothing. Even if he had a child, that child was not entirely his.

He suddenly felt as though the whole world had abandoned him.

Tang Hao felt like crying.

His future absolutely could not become so miserable!

"Don't worry, Brother Hao. With me here, I won't let you become that old man on the Sky Screen," Tang Xiao said, patting Tang Hao's shoulder as he promised him.

"Big Brother, thanks a lot." Tang Hao rolled his eyes and looked up at the Sky Screen.

Tang Hao was still quite curious about that old-man version of himself in the future.

He truly did not know what choices he had made to end up in such a miserable state.
