Sixth Soul Ring, Sun Ray

One year later, the final academic year for Tang San was drawing to a close.

His assessment had also reached the critical juncture of the fourth major exam.

Yet for some reason, the Jinx had not yet issued the relevant requirements.

By now, his cultivation had reached level 38, and the rewards from multiple assessments had allowed his Third Soul Ring, "Blue Silver Bamboo Dragonfly," to reach the century level.

It allowed him to fly at the speed of a mosquito within a low altitude of ten meters for ten minutes.

In contrast, Yu Xiaogang, who had reached the threshold of his third major exam, was still at level 32.

Time had essentially left no mark on his cultivation level.

According to the original agreement with Flender, Tang San was to head to Suotuo City to enroll in Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Wu, have you finished packing?"

Perhaps considering that the Little Rabbit was also a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, Gangzi had also extended an invitation to her as graduation approached.

Thinking of how she could finally part ways with the God of Misfortune and the Fart Immortal, Xiao Wu couldn't help but suppress a smile; naturally, she had no intention of going to that so-called Shrek Academy.

But for some reason, whenever she was about to voice her refusal, she could feel a hidden, piercing gaze boring deep into her soul.

It was as if something terrible would happen the moment she refused.

In the end, Xiao Wu could only reluctantly and unwillingly agree to head to Shrek Academy together.

Tang San and his master, oblivious to the truth, immediately wore expressions of gratification.

It is worth mentioning that with Tang San's cultivation level rising significantly, the Little Rabbit seemed to have been stimulated as well.

Her cultivation had now reached level 34; although there was still a gap compared to Tang San, one had to remember this was without the help of any divine trials.

This was also the reason Gangzi had so desperately invited her to enroll in Shrek.

"What's the rush? I'll be ready in a second!"

Since she wasn't going to Suotuo City of her own volition, the Little Rabbit naturally dragged her feet as much as she could.

At the same time, she was secretly pondering how to make her escape.

The owner of that hidden gaze clearly had discovered her identity, and the fact that they hadn't made a move yet meant they must be coveting her hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Though she didn't know who the person was, she was certain it had something to do with Tang San and his master.

Nothing good ever comes from knowing these two losers; now, even my life is at stake.

Procrastination could not change the status quo, and in the end, Xiao Wu set off on the road to Suotuo City with Tang San.

On the other side, within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong looked at the scenery in the garden with a worried face, having no heart to appreciate it at all.

"What is going on? Half a year has passed, why hasn't this twentieth trial been released yet?"

"This young lady is still waiting for the major exam rewards!"

Having completed nineteen assessments, Ning Rongrong had no clue and could only cultivate step-by-step while completing her physical training.

Fortunately, completing the assessments had significantly improved her cultivation, and she was now a level 33 Soul Elder.

"Forget it, staying in the sect isn't doing any good."

"This young lady will go out for a stroll; maybe that will trigger the assessment."

Judging by the previous Red Leaf Parasol Tree and the Rock-Crushing Turtle, the Battle God seemed to draw from his immediate surroundings to issue trials; perhaps the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect no longer met the conditions to trigger them.

Taking advantage of the night, Ning Rongrong snuck out of the sect.

Little did she know that her every move was under the watchful eye of Ning Fengzhi.

"This girl..."

"Fengzhi, do you need me to follow her?"

"No need, Uncle Sword. Perhaps this girl's idea is correct; after all, there hasn't been any movement in the assessments for half a year."

"I will just send two deacons to follow her in secret."

"Very well. Besides, with Rongrong's current strength, battle soul masters of the same level are no match for her; she shouldn't suffer any losses."

The two groups of people rushing toward Suotuo City did not affect Lu Xian's plans.

Within one year, thanks to the efforts of several Destined Workers, he had successfully advanced to a quasi-Soul Emperor.

His existing five soul rings had all evolved into thousand-year soul rings.

By now, Xiao Qing had transformed into a giant python nearly four meters long, with her venom and constriction abilities greatly enhanced.

Xiong Da's height was now nearly two meters, and he possessed strength rivaling a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

That pair of golden claws could tear through the bluestone road as if it were child's play.

Taking out the super-large magnifying glass he had customized long ago, Lu Xian installed it directly in the open space of his courtyard.

Today, the sunlight was abundant, making it the perfect time for him to test whether he could bind the sunlight system as his sixth soul ring.

A massive concave mirror gathered the sunlight, casting a five-centimeter-wide orb of light onto the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Xian slowly released his Martial Soul, bringing his hand close to the concentrated sunlight.

Under his expectant gaze, the Silver Light Orb gradually transformed into gold, and a ten-year Soul Ring quietly appeared behind the five he already possessed.

The level 60 bottleneck loosened quietly at this very moment.

Lu Xian successfully advanced to become a Soul Emperor-ranked powerhouse.

Releasing his sixth soul skill, that golden orb of light appeared exceptionally dazzling.

It seems that crafting a sun by hand is not an impossible task.

Little Angel, you had better not disappoint me!

With his sixth soul ring secured, the next step was naturally to head to Heaven Dou City to seek out his target for this trip, Qian Renxue.

Compared to his previous missions, this target presented layers of difficulties.

The presence of two Title Douluo, Snake Lance and Pufferfish, by her side meant that anyone of unknown origin would be immediately detected upon approaching.

Therefore, it would certainly require significant effort to get close to her.

Locking the door of his house, he closed the Broom Shop.

Lu Xian once again set foot on the road to Heaven Dou City, this trip undertaken solely to secure his Angel Investor.

Mounting his broom, it took Lu Xian only one day to arrive once more at the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, upon reaching his destination, Lu Xian found himself in a dilemma.

Heading directly to the Crown Prince Mansion was certainly not an option; he reckoned he would be executed by the Heng and Ha Generals as a suspicious person before he even got close.

But having no understanding of Qian Renxue's habits, he could not find an opening to approach her.

He couldn't just wander around Heaven Dou City day and night, could he?

Fortunately, hard work pays off; after several investigations, a gorgeously decorated teahouse caught his eye.

This teahouse collected and sold precious teas from across the continent, catering to the nobility.

According to the owner, the Crown Prince and other high-ranking officials were regular customers of the shop.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Lu Xian entered the shop and ordered a cup of Far North Snow Lotus Tea to sample.

The tea was scalding hot, yet it left a cooling sensation upon entering his mouth, with a hint of sweetness amidst the bitterness, forcing Lu Xian to sigh that the only drawback to expensive things is that they are expensive.

Selling just this one cup of tea for 10 Gold Soul Coins would make even the wealthy elites of his past life weep.

Fortunately, Lu Xian, who activated his Luck Domain from time to time, was not short on money.

With a cup of tea down, an idea suddenly struck him.

The teahouse was located in the southern part of the central commercial street of Heaven Dou City, with a row of neat storefronts directly opposite.

After some haggling, Lu Xian finally persuaded the owner of the antique shop opposite the teahouse to transfer the storefront to him.

Most of the owner's collection consisted of imitations, but due to their location in Heaven Dou City, there was no shortage of buyers for these items.

Relying on the owner's silver tongue, business was actually quite booming.

After all, the one thing Heaven Dou City never lacked was the foolish sons of wealthy landlords.

Lu Xian had once offered a price of 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, yet the owner had been unwilling to give up this storefront of less than ten square meters.

But when Lu Xian took a knight's longsword out of his Soul Tool, the owner could no longer tear his eyes away.
