Soul Ring Pavilion Opens for Business

As for Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, he knew full well how rare and powerful they were, so he decided to keep them secret for the time being.

He would first use special methods to fuse several lower-year Soul Rings into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, then sell those Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

The reason he planned to sell Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings in a few days was precisely because of Zhao Yun and Dugu Bo. With the two of them present, Soul Ring Pavilion's security was guaranteed.

Time flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the preceding days, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had fully utilized its vast intelligence network to spread news of Soul Ring Pavilion's opening throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

The eyes of the entire Douluo Continent were fixed on Soul Ring Pavilion, located in the Core Area of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Soul Ring Pavilion had not yet opened, but it was already surrounded so tightly that not even water could pass through.

The crowd bustled with people. There were ordinary soul masters, filled with curiosity and anticipation, who had come to see what it was all about.

There were also spies dispatched by the various top forces, closely watching every movement around them, ready to report every detail here back to their respective factions.

The appearance of Soul Ring Pavilion might change the existing balance of power across the Douluo Continent.

At last, amid everyone's eager anticipation, the auspicious hour arrived.

Ling Feng led Zhao Yun out of Soul Ring Pavilion at a leisurely pace.

"Welcome, everyone, to Soul Ring Pavilion's grand opening. I believe you have all heard that Soul Ring Pavilion sells Soul Rings extracted from living soul beasts..."

Standing at the entrance, Ling Feng's voice was loud and clear, ringing through the surroundings like a great bell.

He began to introduce Soul Ring Pavilion's unique features to everyone in detail.

Before he could finish speaking, whispers immediately rose from the crowd.

This entirely new kind of Soul Ring was simply too shocking for the soul masters of the Douluo Continent.

Traditional beliefs had long been deeply ingrained. Soul masters had always believed that only by personally hunting a soul beast could they obtain a compatible Soul Ring.

Yet now, Soul Ring Pavilion claimed that a soul master could absorb a Soul Ring with nothing more than a token. How could that not leave people stunned and skeptical?

"To absorb a Soul Ring, a soul master must personally hunt a soul beast. Can Soul Ring Pavilion really do it with just a token?"

A burly man in the crowd was the first to raise an objection. He folded his arms across his chest, his eyes full of distrust.

Like a spark to dry tinder, his question instantly ignited the doubts in everyone's hearts.

For a time, discussions erupted one after another, and the entire scene became noisy.

Ling Feng had anticipated this. He raised his chin slightly, a faint smile curling across his lips as he declared, "I know you don't believe it. Next, I'll choose one of you to absorb a Soul Ring before everyone's eyes. It'll be free of charge."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd like lightning before finally settling on a middle-aged man.

"You!"

The middle-aged man looked utterly ordinary. He wore plain cloth garments, and his face carried a simple, honest air.

He had merely heard that Soul Ring Pavilion was opening and come out of curiosity to join the excitement. He had never expected to be chosen.

At that moment, his eyes were filled with both delight and apprehension. His body trembled slightly, as if he could not believe this sudden stroke of luck.

"Thank you!"

He stammered, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.

Ling Feng slowly took out a wooden token from his robes. Its texture was smooth and warm, giving off a faint sheen.

With a casual wave, he injected a stream of soul power into it. On the front of the token, a Void Mark shimmering with mysterious light appeared.

This Void Mark was the key medium that allowed a soul master to absorb a Soul Ring.

The Void Mark could remain within the token for several months.

That way, soul masters who purchased Soul Rings from Soul Ring Pavilion in the future would only need to take this token with them.

Ling Feng would not need to personally cast a Void Mark for every soul master.

Ling Feng handed the token to the middle-aged man. At the same time, light flashed in his hand, and a Hundred-Year Soul Ring emitting a gentle glow appeared in his palm.

The soul power fluctuations of this Hundred-Year Soul Ring were clearly perceptible, drawing envious gazes from everyone around them.

"Take this token and the Soul Ring, then absorb it according to the method I tell you."

Ling Feng patiently explained it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man carefully accepted the token and Soul Ring as if they were priceless treasures.

He took a deep breath and did his best to calm himself. Then, following Ling Feng's instructions, he began attempting to absorb the Soul Ring.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the scene. The entire venue fell silent, and all of them held their breaths as they stared fixedly at the middle-aged man.

They wanted to witness with their own eyes whether this unprecedented miracle could truly happen.

In a relatively secluded corner, Qian Renxue stood silently, her gaze locked tightly on Ling Feng.

Is he Soul Ring Pavilion's Pavilion Master?

Qian Renxue pondered inwardly.

She was deeply curious about Soul Ring Pavilion's method of allowing soul masters to absorb Soul Rings through a token.

However, what concerned her even more was the person who had created this method.

After several days of secret investigation, she had already confirmed that everything Soul Ring Pavilion claimed was not empty talk. This only made her more curious about Ling Feng.

She carefully scrutinized Ling Feng, trying to find something extraordinary about him. Yet what puzzled her was that Ling Feng looked completely unremarkable.

Even stranger, she circulated her soul power with all her might, yet she still could not discern the depth of Ling Feng's strength.

"Snake Spear Elder, can you see through this man?"

Qian Renxue turned toward Snake Spear Elder beside her and asked in a low voice.

Snake Spear Elder frowned slightly and slowly shook his head. With a grave expression, he said, "I can't. It's as though a layer of mist surrounds him, completely concealing his Soul Power Level."

"This boy's depth cannot be fathomed. He is certainly no ordinary person."

Snake Lance Douluo nodded inwardly. His gaze then inadvertently landed on the young man standing beside Ling Feng.

The young man was handsome and carried an extraordinary bearing, but for some reason, the instant Snake Lance Douluo saw him, a powerful sense of wariness rose in his heart.

For that brief moment, he seemed to sense from the young man a pressure similar to that of the Grand Elder.

It was an aura that belonged to an absolute powerhouse, one that inspired awe.

"What is it?"

Qian Renxue noticed Snake Spear Elder's unusual reaction and asked softly.

"Nothing."

Snake Lance Douluo quickly came back to his senses and gently shook his head, dismissing his previous thought.

He quietly reassured himself that perhaps he had been too tense lately and had imagined it.

After all, that young man looked so young. How could he possibly possess such formidable strength, enough to rival the Grand Elder?

Before Soul Ring Pavilion, the middle-aged man slowly closed his eyes under everyone's watchful gazes and focused as he began absorbing the Soul Ring.

The token in his hand trembled slightly. The light radiating from the Void Mark grew increasingly intense, echoing with the Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

The Hundred-Year Soul Ring began to rotate slowly, releasing wave after wave of gentle soul power that gradually merged into the middle-aged man's body.

A faint halo appeared around the middle-aged man. His expression was slightly pained, yet there was also a hint of resolve.

As time passed, the Soul Ring merged faster and faster, while the middle-aged man's aura continuously grew stronger.

Finally, after a slight ripple of soul power, the Hundred-Year Soul Ring completely merged into the middle-aged man's body.

The middle-aged man abruptly opened his eyes, surprise and excitement flashing through them.

He could clearly feel that his strength had improved considerably. This method of obtaining a Soul Ring without hunting a soul beast filled him with gratitude and reverence for Soul Ring Pavilion.

"It worked! It really worked!"

Someone in the crowd could not help crying out.

Everyone had witnessed the miraculous process firsthand. Their former doubts and skepticism gradually faded, replaced by astonishment and curiosity.

They realized that Soul Ring Pavilion's appearance would completely change the way soul masters of the Douluo Continent obtained Soul Rings.
