The Plan for a Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Spirit Ring

The next day, Luo Yan slowly woke up from his bed.

Because they had gone to sleep early last night, the sun was just rising by the time they got up.

After Zhu Zhuqing woke up and saw that she was once again hugging Luo Yan, her little face turned incredibly red.

However, she was clearly much more accustomed to it than last time and did not jump out of bed immediately.

"Alright, get up early. I already instructed Da Ming and Er Ming yesterday to take you to hunt for a soul ring, so don't keep them waiting too long!"

Luo Yan could already sense the presence of Da Ming and Er Ming outside the door.

It was clear they were already waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to wake up.

"Mm."

Regarding Luo Yan's arrangements, Zhu Zhuqing did not say anything, simply getting out of bed obediently.

After Luo Yan woke up Xiao Wu, he broke free from her embrace and got up as well.

Only Xiao Wu remained in bed, sleeping in.

After tidying up briefly, Luo Yan took Zhu Zhuqing out of the room.

"Big Brother!"

Seeing Luo Yan come out, Da Ming and Er Ming hurriedly greeted him.

Luo Yan nodded in response.

He then continued to instruct them:

"Da Ming, when the time comes, help Zhuqing hunt for a soul ring of about three thousand years; any attribute related to speed will do."

"After refining my essence blood, Zhuqing should be able to handle it."

"If Zhuqing's soul power breaks through to level forty after absorbing the soul ring, help her hunt for a ten-thousand-year soul ring as well, but try to keep the age as low as possible."

This was an arrangement he had carefully considered last night.

According to the original plot, theoretically, the limit for a third soul ring is around seventeen hundred years.

Before absorbing immortal herbs, Tang San had broken his limits to absorb a Man Faced Demon Spider of over two thousand years.

With Zhu Zhuqing's current physique, absorbing a soul ring over a thousand years should be no problem.

One must know that refining the Jiaolong Essence Blood primarily enhances Zhuqing's physique, followed by her soul power and cultivation speed.

Although Zhu Zhuqing does not possess the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the boost this drop of Jiaolong Essence Blood gave her physique is likely many times greater than what Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill could provide.

Luo Yan had examined Zhu Zhuqing's physical condition last night; a three-thousand-year soul ring should be perfectly fine.

Combined with the physical enhancement after absorbing the third soul ring, there would be no issue with absorbing a ten-thousand-year ring for her fourth; the key lay in the third soul ring.

Hearing Luo Yan's words, Da Ming nodded.

These matters were not a problem for him.

Seeing Da Ming nod, Luo Yan turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and asked with a smile, "Zhuqing, do you have confidence in yourself?"

"Mm, as long as it's what you say, I believe it!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a firm gaze, and after finishing, she added, "I won't let you down!"

"Don't push yourself too hard. You still have me behind you; if you can't beat Dai Mubai when the time comes, I'll crush him for you with one hand!"

Luo Yan did not want Zhu Zhuqing to be under too much pressure, so he patted her on the shoulder.

"Wait for my return!"

Zhu Zhuqing did not respond to that topic.

Looking at the determination in her eyes, Luo Yan did not say anything more.

After all, even though his arrangements were somewhat adventurous for Zhu Zhuqing, they would absolutely not put her life in danger.

Luo Yan then led them out of the city.

"Luo Yan..."

Looking at Da Ming, who had transformed into his true form, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes held some hesitation.

Furthermore, hearing Luo Yan say they would fly there, she felt quite fearful of flying, having never been in the sky before.

"Don't worry, Da Ming will protect you well!"

Luo Yan saw her concern and comforted her with a hug.

In the end, encouraged by Luo Yan, she followed Er Ming onto Da Ming's back.

Da Ming carried the two of them into the sky and then vanished into the horizon.

Luo Yan glanced at the direction in which Da Ming had disappeared, then returned to the hotel.

With the contract in place, Luo Yan was not worried that Da Ming or Er Ming would harm Zhu Zhuqing.

After returning to the hotel, Luo Yan took a nap with Xiao Wu before finally taking her back out on the road toward the Great Soul Fighting Arena.

Just arriving at the Great Soul Fighting Arena in Suotuo City.

Luo Yan noticed that there were even more people today than yesterday, and the strength of most of the soul masters who had come was clearly a level higher.

It was likely that the news of the bounty challenge had spread, drawing them here.

One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins were still worth the trip.

What's more, as long as they could force Luo Yan or Xiao Wu to use their martial souls, they could earn ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

This temptation was simply too great.

Just like yesterday, You Chunping was already waiting at the main entrance.

Seeing Luo Yan and Xiao Wu, she led them directly toward the arena.

Today, the arena had been expanded to twice its original size by the officials of the Great Soul Fighting Arena, and the spectator stands had been enlarged accordingly, so even more people had come to watch.

Although ninety-nine point nine percent of them would never step onto the stage themselves.

They still wanted to observe the battles between the strong.

"My two lords, the lowest cultivation level among those who wish to challenge you today is a Soul Saint, and there is even one who has just broken through to become a Soul Douluo!"

Arriving at the side of the arena, You Chunping began to introduce the day's challengers to Luo Yan.

Although Luo Yan had said that anyone who wanted to fight could do so at any time, the Great Soul Fighting Arena still required those who wanted to challenge them to sign up first.

This was to avoid wasting time.

In a corner of the spectator stands.

Dai Mubai, whose face was still somewhat pale, stood beside Flender and Ma Hongjun.

Seeing Luo Yan and Xiao Wu walk directly onto the arena stage, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

He remembered Luo Yan's face clearly.

Although he had been severely injured by Luo Yan's aura that day, Dai Mubai had never imagined that Luo Yan, who looked to be the same age as him, would be the champion of this challenge.

He had heard from Ma Hongjun that a Soul Saint had been defeated by Xiao Wu yesterday.

And it was a crushing defeat at that.

Anyone could see that Luo Yan's strength was definitely greater than Xiao Wu's.

In other words, Luo Yan possessed at least the strength of a Soul Douluo.

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai's already pale face turned even paler.

"Boss Dai, what's wrong? Your injuries haven't flared up again, have they?"

As Dai Mubai's lackey, Ma Hongjun was good at reading expressions and immediately noticed Dai Mubai's odd behavior.

"It's nothing, I just saw an enemy."

After calming his emotions, Dai Mubai slowly shook his head.

"Is it the person who injured you?" Flender was also curious at this moment.

Dai Mubai pointed at Luo Yan on the stage and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, it's them!"

Hearing this, Flender frowned.

If the person who injured Dai Mubai was Luo Yan, he really had no way to help Dai Mubai take revenge.

After all, Xiao Wu had already displayed strength above a Soul Saint yesterday, and with Luo Yan added to the mix, he—a Soul Saint—along with the other teachers from Shrek Academy, would be no match for them at all.

Let alone seeking revenge.

"Mubai, don't be impulsive for now; we'll talk about your situation later!"

Thinking of this, he could only soothe Dai Mubai first.

If Dai Mubai were to impulsively do something irreversible, they might find it very difficult to leave this Great Soul Fighting Arena.

However, Flender had not given up on the idea of entering the arena.

He felt that although Luo Yan had seen Dai Mubai, he certainly had not seen him.
