"What?! A Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!"

"Tang San? He had a hundred-thousand-year ring by his sixth ring! Damn, what is going on here!"

As the answer was revealed on the Light Screen, everyone present, and indeed every living creature in the entire Douluo World, was shaken to the core at this moment.

On the Martial Soul Hall arena, the students from the other academies had only just finished their battle against Tang San.

This group certainly knew of Tang San's strength, having seen him obtain a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his fourth ring.

But they never expected it to get even more outrageous later on, with him actually obtaining the legendary hundred-thousand-year spirit ring for his sixth ring.

Dugu Yan and the others immediately began to discuss it.

"Good grief, is this Tang San trying to set a record?"

"I knew Tang San was terrifying, but who could have expected him to be this terrifying!"

"A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, and it's only his sixth ring! Could it be because he has Twin Martial Souls? This talent is invincible!"

"Fine, fine, fine. With an answer like this, you tell me, who could have gotten it right!"

"Wait, who the hell is that Song Ye? Why did he get it right? Does he know Tang San or does he know the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

Sounds of shock and horror erupted from the arena, making the heads of Tang San and the others buzz.

The Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang, the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Dugu Bo were all staring at Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang was incredibly astonished: "San?"

"I knew your talent was extraordinary, but I never expected you to set such a record!"

"Your sixth ring is a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring? Could it be that you really are the Child of Destiny!"

Dai Mubai and the others were also stunned: "That's right, San, a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!"

"Many Title Douluo don't even have one! I never expected you to have one by your sixth ring!"

"Sigh, we can't blame the Master for getting it wrong this time; who could have imagined you were this exaggerated? It's simply unbelievable."

"Third Brother! Once you make it big in the future, you must take us to the top with you!!"

These words were all spoken in flattery or shock.

After all, the three words "hundred-thousand-year" were enough to strike fear into anyone, anywhere.

However, while the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils were excited, Tang San and Xiao Wu both wore troubled expressions.

Tang San looked at the answer on the Light Screen and couldn't help but smile slightly: "I didn't expect that I would reach a hundred-thousand-year level by my sixth ring? That is truly..."

But in the next second, coming back to his senses, he immediately masked it with a look of grief.

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with some nervousness.

Xiao Wu also noticed Tang San's expression; although it was only a fleeting moment of joy, it was completely caught by her eyes.

She said with some heartache: "Brother, are you really that happy to obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?"

"No, no I'm not!"

Tang San immediately reacted; he now knew that Xiao Wu was a soul beast.

He had just realized that he shouldn't be happy, as the spirit ring he absorbed might have been Xiao Wu's.

He hadn't expected that his brief moment of joy would still be seen by her.

Tang San immediately said: "Xiao Wu, there must be some misunderstanding!"

"How could I kill a Soft Bone Rabbit to use as a spirit ring? Xiao Wu, don't believe it, the Light Screen is just talking nonsense!"

He was terrified that Xiao Wu would leave him; whether for the sake of his future spirit rings or for the sake of his woman, Tang San dared not admit it.

However, at this moment, Yu Xiaogang spoke up.

Gangzi hurriedly stated his position: "Eh, San, what are you afraid of?"

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, the Soft Bone Rabbit that San killed is a soul beast, not you."

"Your martial soul just happens to be a Soft Bone Rabbit, so don't empathize with those soul beasts."

"It is extremely rare for San to obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring for his sixth ring; you should be happy for your Third Brother."

"Happy?"

Xiao Wu looked at Yu Xiaogang's smug appearance and knew that Yu Xiaogang was only happy because of Tang San's excellence.

But if others didn't understand, did she not understand either?

This so-called hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit was her!

Recalling the trace of a smile on Tang San's face just now and listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, she suddenly fell into despair.

"It is... a spirit master, they are supposed to hunt soul beasts."

"What does it matter if it's a Soft Bone Rabbit? A Soft Bone Rabbit will still die at the hands of a spirit master. Whether it was that one back then, or this one now..."

"San..."

"Xiao Wu!"

"Don't listen to Teacher!" Tang San said, extremely nervous, and hurriedly explained, "I would never kill a Soft Bone Rabbit!"

He couldn't state it directly; after all, they were out in public. If he were to say outright that he wouldn't harm Xiao Wu, wouldn't others be able to guess that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast?

To protect Xiao Wu, this was the only way he could phrase it.

But to everyone else's ears, it carried a completely different meaning.

Not allowed to kill a Soft Bone Rabbit?

Wasn't Xiao Wu being a bit too overbearing? This was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, after all. Just because it shared the same type as her own martial soul, it couldn't be killed?

Yu Xiaogang could not allow his disciple's interests to be compromised, so he continued:

"San, what are you saying!"

"If a real opportunity arises, would you really let a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring slip through your fingers?"

"Xiao Wu, I must advise you: you cannot hinder San's future just because you possess a Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul."

"Soul Beasts and Spirit Masters are inherently at odds; it is either you die or I live!"

"You need to think clearly. You are a Spirit Master, not an actual rabbit! Furthermore, as San's sister, you should be happy that he can slay a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and you should even assist him!"

"That's right, Xiao Wu..." Dai Mubai added, trying to persuade her, "Isn't San just going to kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the future?"

"It has nothing to do with you, so why are you unhappy?"

"Xiao Wu, are you projecting yourself into this?" Ning Rongrong stepped forward, stroking Xiao Wu's back as she tried to reason with her:

"Brother San can kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and in the future, he will surely have our help."

"You might even be the one assisting him, so why are you opposing it now?"

"Don't you want Brother San to become stronger?"

"I..."

Hearing these words, Xiao Wu looked at the companions she spent every day with. As they discussed the slaughter of Soul Beasts, they all seemed filled with immense excitement and fervor.

Moreover, listening to Yu Xiaogang and the others, their words did sound logical, and they were expressing their heartfelt attitudes.

At this moment, Xiao Wu finally saw clearly...

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes involuntarily. She looked at them in great pain and murmured:

"Right, you are all right. Spirit Masters and Soul Beasts are natural enemies."

"Once, I also thought that this hatred might be erased, or at least that I could understand the difficulties of the other side..."

"But I never expected that when this question appeared, I would realize that I had been too naive, too simple."

"You are right..."

"I, I just feel a bit unwell. I want to go to our quarters to rest."

Xiao Wu's heart felt as if it were being sliced by a thousand knives.

Just as she had said, it was only at this moment that she realized what a wrong choice she had made.

In the future, she might even become the Spirit Ring of the person she loved most.

So, was what humans called love nothing but a lie?

Even Tang San, in the end, would not give up her precious Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone...
