Tang San's Second Soul Ring, Ten Years Seems Too Much, Let's Change the Year

After Ye Ying finished modifying herself, it was time to modify Tang San.

Tang San absorbed the soul ring very slowly, and it looked extremely difficult.

Because the Blue Silver Weasel was no longer moaning happily, but crying out in pain, "Pain, pain, pain!"

"Ease up!"

"I can't take it anymore!"

"Ahhh!"

Tang San's face was twisted in agony, her body trembling nonstop.

Ye Ying was afraid Tang San would die outright while absorbing the Second Soul Ring.

Tang San felt as if she were surrounded by raging flames, continuously being scorched, making absorption incredibly difficult.

Her First Soul Ring had only been ten years old, while this Second Soul Ring was already over six hundred years old. Absorbing it was extremely difficult.

It was sheer torment.

Although it was nowhere near as painful as absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider in the original plot, it was still agonizing.

Perhaps because the protagonist's halo was upon her, she finally began to feel some relief, and the Blue Silver Weasel's cries also began to turn pleasurable, "Hehehe, thrilling!"

"Faster!"

"Can you even do it?!"

[Tang San had finally successfully absorbed a 638-year Ghost Vine soul ring.]

"Change 'ghost' to 'grass,'"

"And as for the duration, change 'years' to 'days.'"

[Spent 200 Points to exchange for two minor restriction-reduction modification attempts.]

[Modification successful. Ghost changed to grass; years changed to days.]

[Tang San had finally successfully absorbed a 638-day Grass Vine soul ring.]

[Plot Modification successful. Tang San absorbed a 638-day Grass Vine soul ring. Her strength and future development have been greatly reduced.]

[Reward: 3,000 Points.]

[Current Points: 6,771]

When Ye Ying heard the reward, she was still startled.

It was actually worth as much as 3,000 Points.

She now had more than 6,000 Points on hand.

If she worked a little harder, she could easily raise the Second Soul Ring's age to ten thousand years.

But there was no rush now.

The Points might be useful later, so there was no need to spend them yet. There was no battle to fight anyway.

Just as Tang San was greedily absorbing the power from the soul ring, she suddenly realized she could no longer absorb it.

It would not let her continue absorbing.

What was going on?

Then, in the very next second, the energy that had originally been inside her body began to dissipate for no reason.

What was happening?!

Tang San was instantly shocked and tried to seize that power back, but how could she possibly contend with the system's rules?

Only when the power of the 638-day soul ring remained did it finally stop.

Finally, Tang San finished absorbing the soul ring.

A translucent soul ring slowly appeared beneath Tang San's feet, marking her advancement to the level of a Soul Grandmaster.

Tang San could also clearly feel that her Mysterious Heaven Skill had broken through once more.

Unfortunately, she still did not have a single Hidden Weapon.

Whenever she wanted to learn forging, some sort of accident would occur.

Her luck was terrible.

The Blue Silver Weasel, whose strength had been drained, also found it extremely strange.

She felt as though she could barely breathe.

Breathing was incredibly difficult, as if she were about to suffocate.

Only when her consciousness was on the verge of fading did she finally recover.

The Blue Silver Weasel looked at the soul ring beneath Tang San's feet.

Her eyes blinked again and again.

She rubbed them repeatedly, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"No, why is your soul ring white?"

"Shouldn't it be a yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring?"

"How did it become a white Ten-Year Soul Ring?"

"No, it's even translucent. Could it be less than ten years old?"

"A one-year soul ring?"

Tang San also noticed the problem with her soul ring, but she had no idea what was wrong and could only scratch her head in confusion.

Suddenly, the Blue Silver Weasel noticed something else was wrong.

Why was the Hundred-Year Soul Ring beneath Ye Ying's feet constantly giving off a purple glow?

"Why is yours a Thousand Year Soul Ring?!"

She stared wide-eyed as she questioned Ye Ying.

Only then did Tang San notice

that there were two purple soul rings beneath Ye Ying's feet.

"Did both your soul rings and mine mutate at the same time?"

Ye Ying also looked at the soul rings beneath his feet, putting on an act as though he understood absolutely nothing.

He had long since become a supreme grandmaster of acting.

He could act as anything he wanted.

With a complete set of flawless Soul Master theories at his disposal, wasn't it perfectly reasonable for him to know how to act?

"Eh!"

"Why are they purple?"

"I don't know."

"Why are mine Thousand Year Soul Rings?"

"Could it be that my Second Soul Ring is so yellow that it turned purple?"

He turned to look at the phantom of his Snow King martial soul.

"My first soul ring turned purple, and now my Second Soul Ring has turned purple too."

"Or is there something wrong with my martial soul?"

"Maybe there's something wrong with both our martial souls. Yours changed, and mine changed too."

Who could possibly explain this?

Sigma merely smiled and nodded at Ye Ying.

"No matter what, it doesn't have the power of a Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Overall, it isn't a bad thing."

"Most people have white soul rings or yellow soul rings."

"Your purple soul rings look incredibly intimidating."

"If they turned into red soul rings, that would be even more shocking."

At that moment, Ye Ying suddenly thought of something.

That was the Soul Ring simulation ability in the system shop.

Couldn't he derive the ability to simulate Soul Rings himself based on his flawless, comprehensive theory of Soul Masters?

He felt that was entirely possible.

His strength might not change much, but it would definitely be interesting.

Tang San, however, looked rather troubled at the moment.

She had nearly ended up with two white Soul Rings, and her second Soul Ring even seemed slightly worse than a white one.

They had both undergone mutations after absorbing Soul Rings, so why had one mutated in a good direction while the other had gone bad?

Were Soul Rings playing favorites too?

After Ye Ying and Tang San finished absorbing their Soul Rings, Sigma quickly led the group, along with Yu Xiaogang, out of the Soul Hunting Forest.

After all, it was never as safe inside as it was outside.

Half a day later, the four of them had left the boundaries of the Soul Hunting Forest.

Perhaps they had simply been lucky.

Less than a day after entering, both of them had already obtained Soul Rings.

Or perhaps all the bad luck had fallen upon Yu Xiaogang.

After so long, he still showed no reaction at all.

It was not until they returned to Yu Xiaogang's dormitory

that some color finally returned to Yu Xiaogang's face.

Another week later, Yu Xiaogang finally regained consciousness.

He had truly come close to dying.

However, Yu Xiaogang still had no strength in his body.

It would take a long time for him to fully recover.

Ye Ying immediately went to visit Yu Xiaogang in delight, but he did not dare say much at all, lest he provoke Yu Xiaogang into truly breathing his last.

It was fine for him to suffer endless disasters, but dying was out of the question.

Not because Ye Ying pitied Yu Xiaogang, but because if he died, how could he continue suffering?

If Yu Xiaogang and Tang San did not suffer, what would he have left to watch?
