The soul ring arrived above Qin Tian's head, and a massive surge of energy poured down, threatening to shatter his body.

Having already gone through the absorption process once, Qin Tian was well-prepared, circulating his soul power at full capacity to refine the energy of the soul ring entering his body.

The energy contained within a 9,500-year soul ring was terrifying; the Diamond Tiger was no ordinary soul beast, and its extraordinary bloodline meant the energy produced by its soul ring after death was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.

Qin Tian possessed a powerful physique, but even he had to grit his teeth and hold on under the impact of such dense energy.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar echoed within his Divine Sea.

Qin Tian's brows furrowed, his expression turning quite grim; he had not expected the soul ring produced by the Diamond Tiger to contain a soul shock, and he had nearly suffered a major setback due to his lack of preparation.

Fortunately, having transmigrated, the overlapping souls of two lifetimes had granted him mental strength far beyond that of an ordinary person, and having absorbed a soul ring once before, his mental strength had been further bolstered.

Looking inward at his Divine Sea and seeing the Diamond Tiger that had appeared within, he did not hesitate in the slightest, manifesting his own martial soul, the Holy Light Tiger King.

Even in death, you won't rest in peace. I could kill you once while you were alive, so why would I fear your remnant soul now that you're dead?

Qin Tian did not care about the Diamond Tiger's remnant soul at all. Do not forget, his martial soul was the Holy Light Tiger King, a super beast martial soul possessing both holy and light attributes—how could the Diamond Tiger possibly compare?

As both were tiger-type soul beasts, his martial soul could easily suppress any tiger-type soul beast. Furthermore, the Divine Sea was his home turf, and since the Diamond Tiger was merely a remnant soul, it stood no chance against him.

Moreover, the Diamond Tiger's soul power was not actually that strong; it was only because it hadn't truly reached the ten-thousand-year mark that it had managed to leave a soul remnant in the ring, a phenomenon caused by two factors.

The first was the age of the Diamond Tiger: 9,500 years, just a few hundred years shy of being a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

The second was the bloodline power within the Diamond Tiger, which showed that this beast had possessed significant potential.

A moment later, Qin Tian watched as the Diamond Tiger's remnant soul dissipated, its power transforming into points of light that strengthened his mental sea.

Snake Lance Douluo watched as Qin Tian's brows relaxed, finally letting out a sigh of relief as his hanging heart settled.

The mental shock had been safely weathered; now, all that remained was to refine the soul ring's energy. Given Qin Tian's physique, refining the energy was merely a matter of time.

After annihilating the Diamond Tiger's remnant soul, Qin Tian looked inward again, simultaneously refining the soul ring's energy and mobilizing his vast soul power to clear his blocked meridians.

Time slipped away quietly, and before he knew it, three hours had passed.

When they arrived, the sun had been high in the sky, but now the stars were shining brightly.

Rustling sounds echoed incessantly in the surroundings, and the roars of beasts were constant.

Qin Tian opened his eyes and let out a long, heavy breath, his eyes filled with excitement.

A second soul ring, 9,500 years old—he had succeeded. Although the process had been somewhat tortuous, the final result was gratifying.

A 9,500-year soul ring far exceeded the fourth soul ring of an ordinary Soul Ancestor, even doubling the age of many, while the fifth soul ring of an ordinary Soul King was only eight or nine thousand years.

"Xiao Tian, there weren't any accidents, were there?"

Hearing Snake Lance Douluo's words, Qin Tian shook his head slightly, and with his movement, his body emitted a series of cracking sounds.

After refining the soul ring, his height had changed once again, and he now stood at about 1.6 meters.

With his sudden growth spurt, his clothes had become too small again, and he felt quite helpless as he looked at his sleeves.

"Xiao Tian, we should head back. If we don't return soon, the Young Master will likely be worried."

Hearing this, Qin Tian looked up at the sky and immediately stood up.

"Elder Snake Lance, we should go back. Sister Xue is still waiting for us!"

Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, Snake Lance Douluo immediately took him and flew toward Heaven Dou City.

The aura of a Title Douluo caused the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest to steer clear from afar, and they did not encounter any crises along the way.

After returning to the Crown Prince Palace, Qin Tian went to the main hall and saw Qian Renxue sitting there, a smile appearing on his face.

"Sister Xue, I'm back."

Qian Renxue, who had been deep in thought, withdrew her focus at the sound of Qin Tian's voice and turned to look at him.

"Xiao Tian, are you satisfied with the harvest from this trip?"

Qin Tian nodded. "Sister Xue, let me tell you, I didn't just obtain one soul ring this time—I obtained two."

Qian Renxue's brows furrowed upon hearing this, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

"Two soul rings?"

"Xiao Tian, come with me."

Seeming to recall something, Qian Renxue walked toward the study with a somber expression.

Seeing this, Qin Tian followed immediately.

After the two arrived in the study, Qian Renxue opened the secret passage and walked straight inside.

Seeing this, Qin Tian glanced around before stepping in after her.

Once in the secret chamber, Qian Renxue looked at Qin Tian and spoke in a low voice.

"Xiao Tian, did you attach a soul ring to your second martial soul?"

Qin Tian was slightly stunned by this, then shook his head.

"Sister Xue, I didn't attach a soul ring to my second martial soul. After I attached my first soul ring, my soul power reached level 20, so I had Elder Snake Lance find a suitable soul beast for me to attach a second soul ring."

Qian Renxue's expression shifted slightly as she listened to Qin Tian, and she let out a heavy sigh.

"Good, it's a relief you haven't attached a soul ring to your second martial soul yet."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Tian immediately began to explain.

"Sister Xue, have you forgotten? I previously refined quite a bit of Whale Rubber, and the energy from that Whale Rubber has been accumulating in my body. Later, I fused with a fifty-thousand-year left leg bone, and combined with the energy from my first soul ring, it's not impossible for my level to have reached twenty."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly as she listened to Qin Tian's explanation.

"Hmm, the energy in Whale Rubber is indeed substantial; even after I refined it, I went up two levels."

"Little Tian, what is the age of your first soul ring? And what about your second?"

Hearing this question, the corners of Qin Tian's mouth curled up, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe!"

"Sister Xue, my first soul ring came from a Golden Light Tiger and is over four thousand five hundred years old, while my second soul ring came from a Diamond Tiger and is over nine thousand five hundred years old."

As he finished speaking, Qin Tian directly summoned his martial soul and initiated Martial Soul Possession.

Qian Renxue looked at Qin Tian after his Martial Soul Possession and gazed at the two soul rings beneath his feet; even though she had been mentally prepared, she could not remain calm.

His first soul ring was a thousand-year purple ring, and it wasn't a pale purple, but a pure, deep violet.

His second soul ring was black with a hint of purple, rather than purple with a hint of black.

With these two soul rings, anyone could tell the difference in their age at a single glance.

"Little Tian, how are your two soul skills?"

"Sister Xue, both of my soul skills are percentage-based augmentation skills. I've named my first soul skill White Tiger Battle Body; it increases attack, defense, strength, and speed by one hundred and fifty percent, boosts resistance to abnormal status effects, and allows me to ignore one control skill from an enemy."

"My second soul skill, I've named White Tiger Diamond Transformation; it increases my own attack, defense, and strength by two hundred percent, and provides an additional one hundred percent boost to soul power."

"The most important thing is that my second soul skill can stack with my first."

When he said this, Qian Renxue was already stunned.

She knew about augmentation skills, and she knew about percentage-based boosts, but she had never seen such massive increases before.

Whose first soul skill increased stats by one hundred and fifty percent, and whose second soul skill increased them by two hundred percent? Furthermore, these were all-around enhancements—attack, defense, speed, and strength were all raised, and even soul power was increased.

It even improved resistance to abnormal status effects and ignored an enemy's control skill.

This wasn't just an augmentation skill; it was simply...
