Reentering Star Dou, Qian Duoduo Is Shocked: You're Asking to Die?! A Two Thousand Year Second Ring?!

"Mm, I just broke through, but I'm stuck at a bottleneck."

Dai Yu nodded, looking completely calm:

"So I wanted to ask Grandpa Qian for a favor and have you take me to hunt a Soul Ring.

I want to get a good one. I don't trust those teachers at the academy. Grandpa Qian, you're the most reliable."

"Hahaha!

Good!

Good kid!"

Qian Duoduo excitedly patted Dai Yu on the shoulder, grinning from ear to ear:

"This talent is simply incredible!

No problem!

Leave it to Grandpa!

We'll leave right now and head to the Star Dou Great Forest. Grandpa will catch you a top-quality thousand-year Soul Beast!"

When it came to the request of this "grandson," Qian Duoduo had always been willing to fulfill it.

Especially when it involved something as important as hunting a Soul Ring.

"Wait, Grandpa Qian. Don't rush."

Dai Yu held back Qian Duoduo, who was preparing to leave immediately, and moved aside to reveal Huo Yuhao behind him:

"Besides hunting a Soul Ring, I also brought you a treasure this time."

"A treasure?"

Qian Duoduo looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion.

The boy was simply dressed and looked thin and frail,

with only a little over ten ranks of Soul Power. There was truly nothing special about him at a glance.

"This kid... is he your friend?"

Qian Duoduo was somewhat disappointed, but for Dai Yu's sake, his tone remained fairly gentle.

"His name is Huo Yuhao. He's my brother."

Dai Yu patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, signaling for him not to be nervous. Then he leaned close to Qian Duoduo's ear and lowered his voice:

"Grandpa Qian, haven't you always complained that the Soul Tool Department lacks talented people?

Especially geniuses with powerful Spiritual Power who can perform precise operations."

Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up:

"What? This kid..."

"His Martial Soul is the Spiritual Eye, a Body Martial Soul with a Mental Attribute."

The corners of Dai Yu's lips curved upward as he dropped a bombshell:

"And his First Soul Skill is Spiritual Detection Share.

It can detect everything around him in all directions, leaving no blind spots, and share it with his teammates.

Just imagine—if this ability were used to inscribe a Core Magic Array or operate a fixed-mounted Soul Cannon..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's entire body jolted violently, and his eyes nearly bulged out.

He grabbed Huo Yuhao's wrist, his beard trembling with excitement:

"Spiritual Detection?

It can even be shared?

Kid, hurry! Hurry and demonstrate it for this old man!"

Qian Duoduo's enthusiasm startled Huo Yuhao, and he instinctively looked toward Dai Yu.

Only after seeing Dai Yu nod encouragingly did he take a deep breath. A flash of golden light appeared in his eyes.

The First Soul Ring lit up.

Spiritual Detection Share, activate!

In an instant, an incredibly clear, three-dimensional image appeared in Qian Duoduo's mind.

Every detail around them, even the tiny specks of dust floating in the air, was displayed with perfect clarity.

That feeling of having seemingly opened a "god's-eye view" made even Qian Duoduo, a Rank 8 Soul Engineer, suck in a sharp breath.

"A divine skill... This is simply a divine skill born for Soul Tools!"

Qian Duoduo's face flushed with excitement. He looked at Huo Yuhao as though he were an absolutely priceless rare metal.

"I struck treasure!

I really struck treasure this time!"

He abruptly turned toward Dai Yu and gave him a thumbs-up:

"Good grandson! Your eye for talent is incredible!

I want this kid!

From now on, he's a core disciple of my Soul Tool Department!

Anyone who dares to snatch him from me will have me to answer to!"

Watching this scene, Dai Yu laughed inwardly.

As expected, once Huo Yuhao's value was laid bare, a technology fanatic like Qian Duoduo simply couldn't refuse.

"Yuhao, hurry up and call him Dean."

Dai Yu reminded him.

Huo Yuhao also came to his senses. A warm current surged through his heart.

He knew that Yu Ge was paving the way for him.

The Soul Tool Department—that was a place countless students dreamed of joining!

"Greetings, Dean!"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Good, good, good!"

Qian Duoduo burst into hearty laughter and waved his hand grandly:

"Let's go! Today is a good day!

Grandpa will take you two little fellows to the Star Dou Great Forest!

Dai Yu's Soul Ring and Yuhao's meeting gift—I'll cover everything!"

Looking at Qian Duoduo's bold, striding back, the corners of Dai Yu's lips curled into a triumphant smile.

The Soul Ring was secured.

Huo Yuhao's path into the Soul Tool Department had also been paved.

This time, he had made another huge profit.

"Let's go, Yuhao."

Dai Yu put an arm around Huo Yuhao and followed after him.

"Our era is about to begin."

Qian Duoduo had always acted swiftly and decisively.

After leaving the Soul Tool Department building, he directly produced a shuttle-shaped Flying Soul Tool from his Storage Soul Tool.

The thing was silver-white all over, and its streamlined design was filled with a sense of technology. It was clearly a high-end model.

"Get on!

Grandpa will let you experience what 'speed and passion' really mean!"

Qian Duoduo waved his hand grandly. Soul Power surged, and the Flying Soul Tool instantly expanded until it was large enough to hold three people.

Huo Yuhao had never seen such a scene before. He carefully climbed aboard, not even knowing where to put his hands.

Dai Yu, however, was familiar with it. He pulled Huo Yuhao into a steady seat and casually said:

"Yuhao, hold on tight. The Vice Dean's flying skills are... well, rather wild."

Before he could finish speaking,

"Whoosh—!"

A powerful force slammed them back into their seats. The scenery around them instantly turned into blurry streaks flying backward.

Huo Yuhao's face went pale, and he nearly threw up. Fortunately, Dai Yu pressed one hand against his back and transferred a trace of Soul Power into him, helping stabilize his body.

Looking at the mountains and rivers rapidly sweeping past below, the shock in Huo Yuhao's eyes was beyond words.

Was this the power of Soul Tools?

If I could also create something like this...

A seed called "Soul Tool Technology" quietly took root in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Star Dou Great Forest.

As the most famous gathering place of Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent, this place was filled with danger and opportunity.

But with a Titled Douluo leading them, the outer region was practically no different from one's own backyard.

After landing, Qian Duoduo put away the Flying Soul Tool and glanced at Dai Yu:

"Good grandson, your Martial Soul is a White Tiger. In theory, we should look for a Gold Element or strength-type Soul Beast.

But that Strange Eye you activated just now... it's Fire Attribute, right?

And its quality is extremely high."

Although Qian Duoduo looked rough and imposing, his mind was exceptionally meticulous. He had spotted the changes in Dai Yu at a glance.

Dai Yu nodded, and the Red Mark between his brows became faintly visible:

"That's right, Grandpa Qian.

My mutation awakened Extreme Fire.

So I want to find a tiger-type Soul Beast with both Gold and Fire Attributes, or one with pure, high-burst Fire Attribute.

As for the age... around two thousand years would be best."

"Two thousand years?!"

Qian Duoduo's eyes widened:

"Nonsense! You're only getting your Second Soul Ring!

The limit for an ordinary Soul Master's Second Soul Ring is just over seven hundred years.

Even the geniuses from those great clans can only manage a thousand years at most.

And you want two thousand years?

Are you tired of living?"

Dai Yu smiled confidently and clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking:

"Grandpa Qian, do I look like an ordinary person to you?

My physique has been tempered and is already far beyond that of ordinary people.

A thousand years is too weak. It isn't worthy of me.

Only two thousand years would barely be acceptable."
