Xiao Wu's Shock!

"Of course I was human."

Tang San smiled helplessly, gathered his thoughts, and explained, "My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass—you know that. But what you don't know is that my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It was inherited from my mother. It is the emperor among Plant System Martial Souls: the Blue Silver Emperor."

"What?!"

"Your Martial Soul is actually the Blue Silver Emperor?!"

"Your mother was a Blue Silver Emperor?!"

Xiao Wu cried out in shock. As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she had naturally heard the legends of top-tier Plant Soul Beasts. The name Blue Silver Emperor was especially renowned.

"Mm."

Tang San nodded, a trace of reminiscence and gentleness flashing through his eyes. "My previous appearance was because my bloodline hadn't awakened yet, along with some seals. This time, I left Nuoding City to complete my bloodline awakening. Now, the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within me has fully awakened, which is why my appearance and Aura have become what you see now."

He paused before continuing, "This long hair and eye color are external manifestations of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. As for this Life Aura... the Blue Silver Emperor is the symbol of life itself. After awakening, my affinity with and control over life power have both reached a new level."

Xiao Wu stood dumbfounded, trying to process this enormous amount of information.

She looked at Tang San, whose bearing was now noble and extraordinary, then recalled her previously "ordinary-looking" companion. The immense contrast left her somewhat dazed.

"So... your previous appearance was an act?" Xiao Wu blinked and asked.

"More or less. It was a secret technique for concealing my Aura," Tang San admitted. "After all, this appearance of mine is too conspicuous. In a place like Nuoding City, it could easily bring unnecessary trouble. Now that we've left and arrived somewhere new, there's no need to deliberately hide anymore."

"Wow! The Blue Silver Emperor! It sounds so amazing!"

"Does that mean you've become super powerful now?"

"Your Soul Power... I feel like it's gotten much stronger too!"

Xiao Wu finally recovered from her shock, replaced by intense curiosity and excitement. She circled Tang San twice more, as though admiring a priceless treasure.

"My bloodline awakening directly pushed my Soul Power to Level Thirty," Tang San said with a nod, with no intention of hiding it.

There was no point in hiding it now, since she would discover it later anyway.

"Holy crap, you're already Level Thirty at this age?"

"If I remember correctly, you're only Seven Years Old this year, right?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Could a bloodline awakening actually directly raise one's Soul Power Level?

She had heard of such things before, but had never encountered one herself.

Today, she had finally seen a living example right before her eyes.

"Mm, I won't be eight for a few more months." Tang San nodded.

"Then have you decided what Soul Beast you want to hunt for your Third Soul Ring?" Xiao Wu asked.

"No need. After my bloodline awakened, I condensed a Soul Ring myself. It suits me perfectly, and its Year Limit isn't low—it has reached the Ten Thousand Year level. My Soul Power has already reached Level Thirty-Three, so what I should be considering is my Fourth Soul Ring."

Tang San spoke calmly.

This awakening of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had not only granted him an Eighty-Six Thousand Year Emperor Ring, but had also pushed his Physical Body Strength and spiritual power to the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor in one stroke.

Therefore, he needed to consider the acquisition of his Fourth Soul Ring much more carefully. He could not be careless.

Naturally, his first choice would be a Plant Soul Beast with an extremely high Year Limit and pure Life Force. If that proved impossible, he would consider other options.

As he spoke, three purple-black Soul Rings had already risen beneath Tang San's feet.

The moment the Third Soul Ring appeared, even Xiao Wu, a shapeshifted Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, felt a palpitation in her heart.

"What a pity. I didn't get to see the process."

"But this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring that condensed on its own from your bloodline awakening is terrifying."

"Its Life Force is so pure—and so frightening. Its Year Limit must be very high, right?"

"How many years is it? Can you tell me?"

"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Xiao Wu swallowed, lowering her voice as she asked with a face full of curiosity.

Although she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year rabbit who had shapeshifted, she truly could not accurately judge the precise Year Limit of Soul Rings.

Moreover, the Year Limit she had judged was a little too high. Even she did not dare believe it.

Her own estimate was that Tang San's Third Soul Ring exceeded Fifty Thousand Years.

It was simply unprecedented.

Tang San's Second Soul Ring had only been Ten Thousand Years. Even if the Third Soul Ring had been condensed through a bloodline awakening, it should not have been this outrageous, right?

In her view, at most, it should have been twenty or thirty thousand years.

After all, once a Soul Ring reached the Ten Thousand Year level, every additional ten thousand years made an enormous difference.

Even though she knew Tang San's physical body and spiritual power were exceptionally strong, they should not have been strong to such an absurd extent.

Even if it was a Plant Soul Beast with no offensive ability whatsoever.

Its Soul Power impact and the backlash of its spiritual resentment were no joke either.

Seeing the curiosity and faint disbelief in Xiao Wu's eyes, Tang San pondered slightly.

Xiao Wu was his ally, and one of the few people in this world whom he could trust. There was no harm in telling her the truth. Besides, the origin of this Soul Ring was inherently special and impossible for others to replicate.

Moreover, Xiao Wu would be following him from now on, so he did not need to fear that she would leak the secret.

As long as they did not follow the same old path as the Original Work, everything would be safe.

As long as they stayed away from those places from the Original Work and avoided that group of people, the world was so vast. With Tang Hao, a Level 95 Titled Douluo, secretly protecting them, where could they not roam freely and live happily?

Once they became gods, who could threaten them?

Without the trivial troubles of the Original Work this time, his growth speed and ultimate achievements would be unprecedentedly fast and powerful!

"This Soul Ring's Year Limit is indeed somewhat special."

Tang San slowly spoke, his gaze falling on the black Soul Ring that was deep and restrained, faintly veined with golden-red patterns. "It was not condensed solely from the power of my bloodline. During the awakening ceremony, the Billions of citizens of the Blue Silver Forest offered a portion of their Life Energy. My mother's remains provided the most fundamental Emperor's power, while Senior Blue Silver King, who had protected the Blue Silver Clan for tens of thousands of years, sacrificed a thread of his own Core origin. Only then did they jointly forge this Soul Ring."

He paused, meeting Xiao Wu's increasingly shocked gaze, and revealed a Year Limit that would drive any Soul Master mad. "Its exact Year Limit is... Eighty-Six Thousand Years."

"Holy crap!"

"Ei... Eighty-Six Thousand Years?!"

"Third Soul Ring?! Eighty-Six Thousand Years?! Little San, you... you're not joking, are you?! How is that possible?! Even a Titled Douluo's Ninth Soul Ring might not reach that Year Limit!"

Xiao Wu cried out in shock. Her pink Rabbit Ears stood rigid from the overwhelming impact. She unconsciously took half a step back, pointing at the Soul Ring as even her voice changed pitch.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she understood far too well what a Soul Ring's Year Limit represented.

For ordinary Soul Masters, the limit for a Third Soul Ring was only a little over a thousand years. A Genius might perhaps reach the threshold of two thousand years.

Tang San's previous absorption of a Ten Thousand Year Second Soul Ring had already been a miraculous feat that overturned all common sense.

But now, this Third Soul Ring had directly soared to Eighty-Six Thousand Years!

This had completely surpassed the realm of a "miracle." It was practically a divine miracle!

Even the Soul Ring she condensed herself could not possibly reach such a terrifying level!

Terrifying!

It was simply too terrifying!
