Likewise, after forming a contract with the Imperial Golden Tiger, Jin Chen, Dai Yunze gained another two soul rings. His cultivation broke through level fifty, and he entered the ranks of soul kings before he was even thirteen.
Jin Chen had originally been an Imperial Golden Tiger with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation, approaching three hundred thousand. Ten thousand years ago, when he first met Tang Liu, his third heavenly tribulation had already been close at hand. With Tang Liu's help, however, he had not only survived it and become a three-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but also made another leap in cultivation when he formed his contract with Dai Yunze, reaching the four-hundred-thousand-year level.
With four hundred thousand years of cultivation and the ultimate strength attribute, the Imperial Golden Tiger was now fully on par with the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. Both soul rings he bestowed upon Dai Yunze were also at the four-hundred-thousand-year level.
After completing the contract with Dai Yunze, Jin Chen hurried off with Tang Liu to undergo his tribulation. Dai Yunze did not know why Tang Liu needed to accompany Jin Chen, but considering his unfathomable abilities, he presumably had some means of influencing the heavenly tribulation's power, ensuring Jin Chen would survive it.

For Dai Yunze himself, their power remained at the ten-thousand-year level. After all, his physical constitution simply could not withstand four hundred-thousand-year soul rings. He had fully absorbed his first soul ring, but that had required Tang Liu's help,
