"I am Heavenly Wrath, the sharp sword hanging over the heads of the four."

As the majestic voice rang out again, Su Ze pressed his left hand down.

Instantly, a golden-white lightning bolt struck Dugu Yan, who had just landed.

The violent lightning instantly destroyed the green scales attached to Dugu Yan's body.

Dugu Yan felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and she was completely stunned.

She had lost, and lost even faster than last time.

What's more, this time Su Ze hadn't even used his Soul Rings. Relying solely on his Martial Soul Avatar state, he had completely overpowered her.

Looking at the figure in the sky that resembled the Thunder God, Ye Qingxian's eyes were filled with disbelief.

She had seen the state of Martial Soul Avatar with a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul like the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon.

Even the dragon transformation of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon was nothing compared to the phenomenon of Su Ze's Martial Soul Avatar.

The gap was like the difference between a beast and a god.

Her disciple truly seemed to have the potential to become a god!

Meanwhile, Ye Lengleng, standing beside Ye Qingshan, looked at Su Ze in the sky, who was like the Thunder God.

Only one thought echoed in her mind.

No wonder Junior Brother could defeat Yu Tianheng.

His strength is so immense.

And more importantly, Junior Brother in his Martial Soul Avatar state is even more handsome than usual.

As for Dugu Bo, the strongest person present, he looked at Su Ze in mid-air, resembling the Thunder God, and his eyes became fervent.

He now shared the same thought as Ye Qingxian.

This kid Su Ze has the potential to become a god!

As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo had seen many people's Martial Soul Avatars, and quite a few of them could even change the weather.

But those people were either powerhouses among Titled Douluo, or level 98, level 99 Super Douluo.

This kid Su Ze hadn't even obtained his third Soul Ring yet.

A kid who wasn't even a Soul Elder could achieve what only Titled Douluo could.

If he were to become a Titled Douluo in the future, who knew what he would be capable of.

As he thought of this, a complex emotion of jealousy and relief surged within Dugu Bo.

He was jealous that such a talented Genius existed in the world!

He was relieved that this Genius was a benefactor to their Dugu Family.

The future glory and wealth of their Dugu Family was now assured.

In mid-air, watching Dugu Yan on the ground completely lose her ability to resist.

Su Ze slowly dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar and landed beside Dugu Yan.

Looking at Dugu Yan, whose eyes were red before him, Su Ze sighed.

Women were troublesome.

He completely failed to understand why Dugu Yan, who should have been happy after her Martial Soul Evolution.

Suddenly became so angry.

And insisted on dueling him.

However, Su Ze was a soft-hearted person, so he decided to comfort Dugu Yan.

"Alright, Senior Dugu, alright, Senior Dugu, I concede this fight!"

"Don't be angry!"

Hearing Su Ze specifically come over to comfort her.

Dugu Yan, who was originally very angry, felt much better for some reason.

"Hmph, who wants your pity?"

"Su Ze, wait until I get familiar with my Martial Soul, and then we'll fight again. I definitely won't lose next time."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan's mood improved, and a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing Dugu Yan smile again, Su Ze shook his head helplessly.

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; he didn't know why she was angry, nor why she became happy.

Putting aside these irrelevant thoughts, Su Ze walked towards his master, Ye Qingxian.

He had to admit that bringing Ye Qingxian this time was an incredibly correct choice.

Her knowledge of Immortal Herbs was far more comprehensive than Su Ze's, who only knew the original story.

For example, the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, which could enhance spiritual power, was something Su Ze had forgotten.

It was Ye Qingxian who scanned the surroundings and discovered it.

One must know that absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring requires not only physical strength but also mental power.

After all, it requires powerful mental power to obliterate the residual spirits of the soul beasts within the Soul Ring.

"Senior Dugu, I still need to consume a few more Immortal Herbs. Could I trouble you to guard me again?"

Su Ze turned to Dugu Bo and said earnestly.

"You brat, you still want to keep absorbing Immortal Herbs? Even if the Immortal Herbs have extraordinary effects, too much of a good thing can be bad."

"Why not wait a few more days?"

Upon hearing Su Ze's words, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious.

Dugu Bo had expectations for Su Ze.

With the latter's talent, as long as he followed the established path, becoming a Super Douluo would certainly not be difficult.

Therefore, Dugu Bo believed that the most important thing for Su Ze now was to be grounded and proceed step by step.

For a Genius like Su Ze, absorbing Immortal Herbs would increase his power too quickly, easily leading to an unstable foundation.

This would not be beneficial for his future cultivation.

"Don't worry, Senior Dugu. The Immortal Herbs Su Ze is about to consume are all for enhancing mental power."

"They won't increase his Soul Power. And after consuming these mental power-enhancing herbs, I will instruct him to consolidate for a few days and not consume anything else."

As a master of medicine, Ye Qingxian also understood the importance of a solid foundation.

After speaking with Dugu Bo, Ye Qingxian's gaze turned to Su Ze, particularly at the two Soul Bones in his hands.

"Su Ze, after you absorb the mental power-enhancing herbs, do not absorb those two Soul Bones for a while."

"Let yourself digest them first. Otherwise, the rapid increase in your realm will not be conducive to your future growth."

Hearing his master Ye Qingxian's words, Su Ze nodded in agreement.

Indeed, his progress today had been too much.

Too rapid.

He was like a stuffed fatty right now. If he were to absorb the Ice Fire Dragon King's Divine Bone as well.

It would be better to digest what he had first.

"Alright, Master, after absorbing these spirit-enhancing Immortal Herbs, I'll wait a while before absorbing the spirit bones."

With that, Su Ze took the three spirit-enhancing herbs Ye Qingshan had given him.

They were the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, Aromatic Silk Beauty, and Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

As the three spirit-enhancing Immortal Herbs entered his belly, a cool sensation immediately rose from Su Ze's head.

The feeling was incredibly intoxicating.

As his spirit power increased, even with his eyes closed, Su Ze began to gradually perceive the world around him.

After the energy of the first Wangchuan Qiushui Dew was fully absorbed.

Su Ze's spiritual perception of his surroundings was clearer than what he could see with his naked eyes.

But it wasn't over yet. As the second and third Immortal Herbs were also absorbed.

Su Ze began to see something different. His spirit started to communicate with the elements in the air.

The elements he communicated with most smoothly were the storm and the Lightning Element in the air.

As Su Ze's eyes opened, an invisible spiritual force spread out from them.

According to the original story, Su Ze's spirit power had now reached the Mustard Seed Realm.

The protagonist of Douluo 2, Huo Yuhao, was level 61 when he broke through to this realm.

Su Ze had reached it at only level 29.

The moment Su Ze opened his eyes, Dugu Bo sensed it most clearly. He detected a powerful spiritual force emanating from Su Ze.

That spiritual force felt comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

"This kid Su Ze is truly lucky. His physique is also incredibly strong."

Dugu Bo said with emotion. Absorbing Immortal Herbs to enhance spirit power also required specific physical traits.

Su Ze's strong Body Strength allowed him to withstand consuming three spirit-enhancing Immortal Herbs at once.

An ordinary person would fall into danger after consuming just one.

This was why Dugu Bo hadn't considered letting his granddaughter consume them.

If the user couldn't withstand the spirit-enhancing Immortal Herbs, they would be backlashed.

They would directly become an idiot.

So, while marveling at Su Ze's increased spirit power, Dugu Bo gained a new understanding of Su Ze's Body Strength.

"Alright, Su Ze, your physique is special, but don't take any more Spirit Immortal Herbs for now. Let's take a break," Ye Qingxian said, breathing a sigh of relief after watching Su Ze finish.

When they were collecting these three Spirit Immortal Herbs, Ye Qingxian had initially advised Su Ze to take it slow. However, after sensing his body, Su Ze confidently stated that he could definitely handle them. Unable to dissuade him, Ye Qingxian had reluctantly agreed. Now, seeing that Su Ze had safely absorbed them all, her heart finally settled.

Su Ze opened his eyes and immediately sensed his physical condition. He nodded in satisfaction upon detecting the breakthroughs in his Spirit Power and Physique. He realized that after consuming the Spirit Immortal Herbs, he had discovered another function of his Sikong Zhen Martial Soul: its ability to detect whether his body could withstand the effects. He had only consumed these three Spirit Immortal Herbs after communicating with his Sikong Zhen Martial Soul and confirming his body's capacity!

As Su Ze opened his eyes, his gaze became even brighter, his eyes sparkling with vitality. Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng, who had been watching Su Ze intently, felt an urge to lose themselves just by looking into his eyes.

"Thank you, Senior Dugu, for guarding me."

"Next, please help me obtain my third Soul Ring, Senior Dugu."

"I want a Ten Thousand Year one this time."

As Su Ze mentioned the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, his thoughts drifted to Yu Tianheng. By the time he obtained his third Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Yu Tianheng should have also broken through to the Soul Elder realm. At that point, after defeating him, he could go to the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Family's private Hunting Ground to hunt monsters. This time, with Titled Douluo Dugu Bo as his backer, and with the bet with Yu Tianheng in place, his fourth Soul Ring could be a precious Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Family. Thinking of this, Su Ze felt a sense of anticipation for the upcoming Soul Dou battle with Yu Tianheng.

As Su Ze spoke, the expressions in everyone's eyes changed.

Especially Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian, they both have high cultivation realms and have met many people.

But for someone like Su Ze, to have a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his third one, it's something that would be hard to find even a few instances of throughout the entire history of Soul Masters.

"Brat, are you sure you want to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

"Even though you absorbed an Immortal Herb, a normal Soul Master's third Soul Ring is usually only a Thousand Year."

"Ten Thousand Year is ten times stronger."

Dugu Bo's tone held some worry at this moment.

On the Soul Master Continent, the third Soul Ring for ordinary Soul Masters is at most over seventeen hundred years.

Even if Su Ze's Body Strength had reached the Soul King level.

But the limit for most Soul Kings to absorb was only around ten thousand years.

And those who absorbed ten thousand years were geniuses among Soul Kings.

Although Su Ze was a Genius, Dugu Bo was still very worried given his current strength.

Ye Qingxian beside him also advised, "That's right, Su Ze, you're still young, there's no need to take such a risk."

"With your body and this level, even with a Soul King's Body Strength, capturing an eight or nine thousand year old one would be the most you could handle."

"Ten Thousand Year is still too risky."

Facing the persuasion from Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo, Su Ze smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, seniors, I have this confidence."

"Moreover, I'm absorbing a Lightning Attribute spirit beast, and my Martial Soul can suppress them. Coupled with my improved mental strength and physical strength, I can completely absorb a Ten Thousand Year one."

Su Ze knew that Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo's advice came from good intentions.

But he had his confidence. Firstly, he was absorbing a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul, and he had now awakened the Storm Dragon King.

The original Sikong Zhen already had an extremely strong suppressive power over ordinary Lightning Attribute Martial Souls.

The Storm Dragon King was the master of the Storm Dragon King, recognized by the two legendary Level One Gods, the Ice Fire Dragon King.

The suppression this level of Martial Soul had on lightning attribute spirit beasts was extremely powerful.

Combined with the mental strength from the Mustard Realm that Su Ze had just improved.

The most significant obstacle to absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, the spiritual will left behind by the spirit beast after death, was nothing in front of him.

Furthermore, Su Ze had absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, and his Body Strength had also reached the Soul King level.

His body could definitely handle it.

Thinking this, Su Ze walked up to Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian and directly extended his hands.

"If you don't believe me, Teacher and Senior Dugu, Senior Dugu, you can examine my body!"

"See if it can withstand a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo didn't waste any words and directly began their examination. After the examination.

Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian were both shocked.

Su Ze's body had been continuously tempered by the lightning of the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul.

These past few days, he had taken Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber and combined it with Immortal Herbs to strengthen his body. His entire meridians' strength and resilience had long surpassed that of an ordinary Soul King.

Even Ye Qingxian felt that in terms of body strength, Su Ze was almost comparable to her, a Soul Emperor.

"Kid, your body strength is even more terrifying than I sensed before. Your body strength is almost on par with a top-tier Soul King."

"How did you achieve this? Is the effect of the Immortal Herb so significant? Why didn't we feel anything?"

Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with confusion. They were all undergoing Martial Soul Evolution, so why was Su Ze's improvement so much greater than his, a Titled Douluo?

Ye Qingxian also cast a questioning gaze his way.

Su Ze naturally couldn't explain his special Martial Soul Evolution to Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian. After some thought, he explained the effects of the whale rubber.

After all, from now on, they were all family.

"My strong body strength is mainly because I've been taking whale rubber since I was young. I read about this in ancient texts."

"Besides its benefits in the bedroom, whale rubber also has the properties of strengthening the body and improving a Soul Master's physique."

"I've been taking it since I was young, and combined with the Immortal Herb's boost, it has achieved this effect."

"In the future, Senior and Teacher can let Senior Sister and Senior Dugu Yan take some."

Hearing Su Ze's words, Dugu Bo immediately remembered Su Ze taking the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber in the dormitory before.

At that time, he had guessed that the whale rubber had the effect of improving the body. Now that Su Ze had confirmed it, he immediately spoke.

"Good, I will collect some whale rubber with the Ye Family Head next, and give it to Yan Yan and Ye Girl to take."

"As for your third soul ring, Su Ze, I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Although the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou Imperial City was also a gathering place for large soul beasts.

It was still difficult to find a ten-thousand-year soul beast with a Lightning Attribute suitable for Su Ze.

Since that was the case, it was better to go directly to the forbidden zone of humans, the Star Dou Great Forest, the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.

There would definitely be better choices there.
