The distance between Star Luo City and Gengxin City was neither particularly long nor particularly short, with several mountain ranges lying between them.
With nothing better to do, Danheng wandered through those mountains for a while, but the strongest Soul Beasts there were only around the thousand-year level.
While Danheng was making his way toward Gengxin City, a father and son sat around a campfire in the Star Dou Great Forest, both wearing exceptionally grave expressions.
"Little San, for your fourth Soul Ring, you should still choose one around three thousand years."
After a long while, Tang Hao spoke, breaking the oppressive silence.
The father and son had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Tang San's fourth Soul Ring. At first, Tang San had confidently declared that he wanted to absorb a five-thousand-year Soul Ring, the maximum age limit for a fourth Soul Ring.
But when Tang Hao captured a five-thousand-year Soul Beast for him, Tang San encountered a problem during the absorption process and nearly lost his life.
The root cause was Tang San's injuries.
Even after so much time had passed, Tang San was still plagued by his wounds. Naturally, problems arose when he tried to absorb a five-thousand-year Soul Ring.
Later, Tang San settled for the next best thing and attempted to absorb a four-thousand-year Soul Ring.
A weaker Soul Ring could be compensated for through other means, but if he died, then everything would be gone!
Yet Tang San still failed to absorb the four-thousand-year Soul Ring. With the tournament about to begin, Tang Hao could only suggest that Tang San absorb a three-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring.
"..."
Tang San stared blankly at the fire before him, showing no intention of responding to Tang Hao.
"Sigh..."
Tang Hao helplessly shook his head
