Ning Rongrong's Advancement, Pei An's Eye for Talent

Pei An raised an eyebrow. He was somewhat interested in Shui Binger.

"Not bad. Rongrong's physique differs from that of ordinary soul masters. She can absorb a Soul Ring of around seven hundred years as her First Soul Ring."

Naturally, Pei An would never gamble with his student's life.

The reason he dared to do this was because he was confident.

Not only had Ning Rongrong consumed the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, but when she was four, Pei An had specifically asked Chrysanthemum Douluo to prepare numerous herbs to strengthen her foundation and enhance her physique.

Given Ning Rongrong's current condition, a thousand-year First Soul Ring might be somewhat risky, but a seven-hundred-year First Soul Ring was absolutely guaranteed.

"The so-called Limit Soul Ring Theory, huh." Pei An said no more, merely giving a disdainful laugh.

At this, Shui Binger's large eyes immediately lit up.

This amazing Big Brother thought the same way she did!

Compared to Shui Binger, however, Shui Qianrou, who knew Pei An's identity, was even more overwhelmed.

If an ordinary person had done this, she would certainly have dismissed it with contempt, believing they were treating someone else's life as a joke.

But when the Pope of Spirit Hall said it, the meaning was entirely different.

Could it be that the so-called Limit Soul Ring Theory had long since been overturned within Spirit Hall?

Shui Qianrou felt that, upon returning, it was necessary to report this matter to the academy.

The academy's teaching had to keep pace with progress; it could not remain stagnant.

"Rongrong, do it."

Part of the Golden Chains of rules slowly withdrew, exposing the Scarlet Agate Rhinoceros's head and neck.

Pei An handed Ning Rongrong a jeweled sword.

The short sword was no divine weapon, but it was more than enough to break through the defenses of a century-old Scarlet Agate Rhinoceros that could not resist at all.

Ning Rongrong accepted the short sword, her little hand trembling slightly.

After all, she was only six years old. Pei An had never made her kill anything before, so it was normal for her to hesitate.

If she truly remained utterly unfazed, then she was either a transmigrator or naturally somewhat emotionally detached.

Pei An did not urge her.

For something like this, Ning Rongrong needed sufficient time to prepare herself mentally.

Forcing her to act under pressure might leave Ning Rongrong with psychological trauma.

To ease Ning Rongrong's mental burden, Pei An deliberately used a chain to cover the Scarlet Agate Rhinoceros's eyes.

For beings incapable of communication, the eyes were the place most likely to affect one's resolve.

Pei An remembered how, in his previous life, the eyes of the experimental rabbits had troubled him for a long time during clinical animal experiments.

As a soul master, this was a path she had to walk. All Pei An could do for Ning Rongrong was reduce the obstacles as much as possible.

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong was not the overly delicate sort.

She bit her Red Lips and shakily raised her little hand.

The sword fell.

The Scarlet Agate Rhinoceros's life force slowly dissipated, and the Golden Chains binding it withdrew.

Its enormous body crashed to the ground, while a faint yellow ring emerged from its massive corpse.

Ning Rongrong sat cross-legged and used her Soul Power to draw in the yellow Soul Ring.

She had already learned everything regarding Soul Ring absorption, so Pei An did not need to explain it when the time came.

The process went smoothly.

There was no apparent pain on Ning Rongrong's little face throughout.

While waiting, Pei An took out a portable stool from his Soul Tool and sat down to stand guard. He also gave several stools to Shui Qianrou and the other two.

With his strength, once he spread out his Mental Power, he could fully observe every movement within a hundred li of the area, so there was no need for him to remain overly vigilant.

Like a curious child, Shui Binger asked Pei An many questions that ordinary soul masters rarely considered.

Standing guard was boring anyway, so Pei An chatted with her and shared some of his thoughts.

Shui Yue'er stayed at the side, her eyes seeming to turn into little bean-like dots.

What were her sister and Big Brother talking about? Why could she not understand a single word?

As she spoke with Pei An, the stars in Shui Binger's eyes grew more numerous, and her admiration for Big Brother deepened.

About half an hour later, there was finally movement from Ning Rongrong's side.

The Soul Power on her body began to surge wildly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

A pale yellow Soul Ring circled around her.

Level 11, Level 12, Level 13...

The rate at which Ning Rongrong's Soul Power aura increased was like a rocket taking off.

Pei An had been right. The Soul Power enhancement brought by Aromatic Silk Beauty would feed back to Ning Rongrong after she broke through.

Shui Binger's eyes shone brightly.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a situation.

Logically speaking, even if one absorbed a Soul Ring beyond the so-called Soul Ring age limit, it should not result in such a massive increase.

Shui Binger was certain that Ning Rongrong had encountered some other opportunity. That opportunity might even be related to why Big Brother believed she could absorb a seven-hundred-year Soul Ring.

Shui Binger did not care about that opportunity, but this scene of Soul Power rising in a way she had never seen before excited her immensely.

Shui Binger did not have overly complicated thoughts.

She did not aspire to put forward some theoretical viewpoint and satisfy her vanity through the recognition and admiration of others.

Her excitement stemmed purely from encountering new knowledge.

Ning Rongrong slowly opened her Beautiful Eyes.

Her aura ultimately stopped at Level 20.

Not bad. Just as Pei An had expected, the medicinal effects of Aromatic Silk Beauty had given Ning Rongrong a pseudo-Qian Renxue version of innate Level 20 Soul Power.

This...

Shui Qianrou, standing nearby, was already shocked beyond measure.

It was the first time she had seen someone reach the threshold for absorbing their Second Soul Ring immediately after absorbing their First Soul Ring.

It should be a special case...

Shui Qianrou could not help thinking to herself.

If Spirit Hall possessed the ability to mass-produce such a phenomenon, then the entire Soul Master World would probably be thrown into chaos.

"Teacher!" Ning Rongrong's little face was filled with excitement as she threw herself into Pei An's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

Pei An gently pinched her little cheek. "Very good. Rest for a while. We'll deal with your Second Soul Ring later as well."

Second Soul Ring?

Shui Binger was startled. She could only sense the changes in Ning Rongrong's aura, but she did not know the exact extent of those changes.

Big Brother's words...

"Big Brother, Rongrong is already Level 20?!" Shui Binger felt as though her worldview had been shaken.

She had obtained her First Soul Ring some time ago, yet she was still a long way from Level 20.

And now she was seeing someone leap straight to the point of absorbing a Second Soul Ring after obtaining her First Soul Ring?!

"Rongrong has encountered some opportunities. When cultivating, you still need to keep your feet on the ground," Pei An reminded her.

He had a favorable impression of Shui Binger. If possible, he did not want her to become overly ambitious after seeing Ning Rongrong's sudden leap in strength.

"Big Brother, I understand. Everyone has their own opportunities, and they cannot be forced. Improving oneself steadily is the true path."

Shui Binger's insight made Pei An look at her anew.

He truly wanted more and more to take this promising talent under his wing.

Pei An felt that, with Shui Binger's talent and temperament, combined with the cultivation of suitable Immortal Herbs, there was a high chance she could become a god!
