At these words, both grandfather and granddaughter looked at Su Ye with some surprise.
Dugu Yan, in particular, had not forgotten how Su Ye had lambasted Yu Xiaogang earlier.
Didn't you say that the choice of a soul ring is extremely important and must be perfectly compatible?
How is it that the requirements are suddenly low when it comes to you?
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Su Ye knew exactly what they were thinking, so he paused to explain.
Perhaps due to his transmigration, he was somewhat different from the native soul masters of the Douluo Continent; his Martial Soul possessed immense compatibility.
For instance, he did not need to specifically hunt for space-attribute soul beasts.
If he hunted a support-type soul beast, the resulting soul skill would be a spatial enhancement.
If it were an attack-type soul beast, it would be a spatial strangulation, spatial cutting, or some other offensive soul skill.
The same applied to defensive attributes.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Dugu Bo nodded in realization, feeling a weight lift from his heart.
Su Ye had shown great kindness to their family, and he was the grandson-in-law he favored.
He was certainly going to take full responsibility for the young man's future soul rings.
He had been worried about it; while it was fine for now, what would he do once Su Ye's soul power increased? Where would he find high-year space-attribute soul beasts?
Furthermore, due to the unique nature of those attributes, even if he found one, he feared it would be difficult to successfully hunt.
Now that he heard Su Ye say this, he felt completely at ease.
As long as it wasn't restricted to space attributes, he had the confidence to secure even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for him.
Indeed, this fellow had started getting cocky again.
After his Martial Soul Evolution, Dugu Bo felt terrifyingly strong; let alone his old nemesis, the "Old Chrysanthemum," he didn't even hold that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect in high regard anymore.
Besides, it would be many years before Su Ye could absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring; in that time, his own strength would likely climb even higher.
So, in a sense, this fellow wasn't just blindly confident—he truly possessed the strength to back it up.
"Then what year-limit are you planning to absorb?"
"Given Yan Yan's current condition, she might even be able to attempt a ten-thousand-year soul ring. As for you, it should be significantly higher than that."
As a beneficiary of the Nirvana Creation Pill, Dugu Bo was naturally aware of its power and the all-encompassing transformation it provided.
At the same time, he understood that the standard for a soul master absorbing a soul ring depended on the individual's own condition.
If one's physical constitution and mental strength were up to par, what was wrong with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring?
He was not some "Grandmaster" who only knew how to cling to textbook knowledge.
Su Ye felt a sense of emotion at these words and silently grumbled in his diary.
[Look at that. Anyone with actual insight knows there is no concrete standard for a soul master absorbing a soul ring; it all depends on individual conditions.]
[That fellow Yu Xiaogang is something else, only knowing how to obsess over theories copied from Martial Soul Hall. He even came up with a "limit" data set, claiming that exceeding it would inevitably lead to death by explosion—it's simply laughable.]
[What's even more ridiculous is that this guy was precise down to the single digit, claiming it was a theory he researched himself.]
[No, seriously, how did he arrive at the figure of 423 years? And really, if you exceed it, you explode?]
[What about 424 years? 425 years?]
[The key is, how would one even distinguish such a thing? Which family's soul hunting process is that precise!]
[And yet, with such nonsensical theories, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong never questioned him once. Instead, they fell for it hook, line, and sinker, thinking Yu Xiaogang was a genius. It's truly absurd.]
The women across the continent saw the diary update and immediately opened it to inspect the contents.
When they saw Su Ye complaining about Yu Xiaogang again, they were left speechless.
It wasn't that they were speechless at Su Ye, but rather they realized this Yu Xiaogang was truly a master of nonsense.
423 years? A limit soul ring?
Damn it, it's obviously fake at a glance.
Just as Su Ye said, who could be that precise?
Even if they could, is that something a Soul Grand Master could achieve?
How did he even research that?
At this moment, the women's recognition of the title "Blind Douluo" rose even higher.
To believe such an outrageous theory—Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong were truly worthy of being the members of the group Su Ye had singled out; their "gold content" was off the charts.
At this moment, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong both put on masks of agony.
They were powerless to refute it, and at the same time, they felt speechless about their past selves.
Yes, why were they so foolish back then, believing everything Yu Xiaogang said?
Looking back now, there were bugs everywhere.
After a silent grumble, Su Ye did not immediately answer Dugu Bo's question, but instead took out a bracelet and put it on.
"What are you..."
Dugu Bo looked puzzled. No, old man, I asked you how many years of spirit ring you can absorb, what are you doing?
Dugu Yan's pretty face was also etched with confusion; she didn't understand what kind of act Su Ye was putting on.
"Senior, you asked how many years of spirit ring I can absorb. To be honest, I don't have a clear idea myself, but it doesn't matter. Why not just test it and find out?"
"Test? How..."
Dugu Bo couldn't keep up with Su Ye's rhythm for a moment and was about to ask again.
But then he saw Su Ye tap the bracelet, and a light screen suddenly appeared before the three of them.
[Ding! Test results are as follows!] [Synthesizing the target's physical fitness, mental power, and martial soul strength, the conclusion is that the target can withstand a spirit ring of up to 31,045 years.]
"This..."
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both stunned. What the hell? Is this black technology?
Just by tapping it twice, you can get all this information?
Is it for real?
Dugu Yan's eyes twitched. She had just finished complaining about Yu Xiaogang, and now you're playing with precision too?
And making it look so professional—what for? Are you trying to steal Yu Xiaogang's job?
"You can think of it as a Soul Tool. Rest assured, the data on it is absolutely accurate," Su Ye said.
This was the reward he had received this morning.
For him, having already achieved great success and preparing to start leveling up like crazy, it was indeed a timely rain—safe and efficient.
Come to think of it, Su Ye felt a bit of regret.
If this thing had come sooner, his first three spirit rings wouldn't have been just a standard configuration.
Dugu Bo was dazed for a moment, then collected his thoughts and nodded, "This thing is quite practical, especially for you and Yan Yan."
He didn't doubt it; it was a Soul Tool, after all. Although he hadn't seen this kind before, he could still understand it.
As for Dugu Yan, there was no need to mention her. Although she hadn't known Su Ye for long, Su Ye was so handsome and had helped her evolve her martial soul, not to mention she had seen him completely bare not long ago.
Her heart was already fluttering. With her "love-struck" brain acting up, she believed whatever Su Ye said.
After helping Dugu Yan test her own limit data, the three continued to search for a suitable spirit beast.
Because the spirit beast Su Ye needed required a higher age, they had to go deeper, so their first goal was to make arrangements for Dugu Yan.
Although the Sunset Forest couldn't compare to the Extreme North, it wasn't devoid of ice-attribute spirit beasts with top-tier martial souls.
The three moved quickly, and before long, they arrived near a cold pool deep within the forest.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but as soon as the three approached, they saw a spirit beast rush out from within.
This spirit beast was covered in pale cyan ice-jade armor, the patterns on the scales resembling natural frost, with a row of sharp ice ridges running from the top of its head to the tip of its tail.
Its limbs were thick, its hooves coated in white frost, its eyes were ice-blue, and it exhaled cold air from its nostrils. Its body was a size larger than an ordinary rhinoceros, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground wherever it moved.
Seeing the three of them, the spirit beast seemed a bit confused.
It hadn't expected that it would just want to go out for a meal and end up being blocked at its own door by three people who appeared out of nowhere.
Could it endure this?
The spirit beast let out a roar, and a tyrannical aura spread out, its power no weaker than a high-level Spirit Emperor.
Dugu Bo had his aura restrained, so the beast sensed danger. After a moment of hesitation, it charged straight at the three of them.
Dugu Bo's gaze was indifferent. He slowly withdrew one hand from behind his back, intending to strike and show off in front of his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
However, at that very moment, the surrounding space suddenly twisted.
Above the void, a gigantic energy palm condensed out of thin air. The five fingers were distinct, the lines like vigorous ancient seals, carrying the momentum to suppress everything.
The palm was not a physical entity, yet it was as solid as crystal, glowing with a faint spirit power and runes, crashing down from mid-air.
Before the palm wind even touched the ground, the surrounding vegetation was bent by the pressure, and the earth slightly collapsed.
"Boom!"
