"Xiaogang, which one are you going to choose? Both of them go against your theories!"
"I've eaten so much Whale Rubber. Absorbing a Soul Ring that exceeds the limit should be no problem for my physique."
"Still, I'd better play it safe and choose this one!" Yu Xiaogang didn't dare risk his life, but he was unwilling to absorb a conventional Soul Ring either.
According to the extreme age-limit theory he had summarized as part of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul...
The maximum age of Soul Rings a Soul Master could withstand was 423 years for the first ring, 764 years for the second, 1,760 years for the third, 5,000 years for the fourth, 12,000 years for the fifth, 20,000 years for the sixth, 50,000 years for the seventh, and over 50,000 years for the eighth.
