Yu Xiaogang Becomes a Clown, Theory Utterly Wrong!

This series of battles unfolded in the blink of an eye.

Hu Liena stood not far away, completely stunned.

She covered her mouth with both hands, her large golden eyes filled with shock and fanatical worship.

Too strong!

Without any soul skills, not even a soul ring, he had used only his physical body and that eerie domain to slaughter a 1,400-year-old soul beast with his bare hands!

Is this the Big Brother she had chosen to follow?

He is simply a monster!

Bibi Dong hid in the tree canopy, her chest heaving violently as her breathing became incredibly ragged.

She watched the six-year-old boy standing before the corpse of the demon fox, his body wreathed in a black phantom, and her mind roared with thunder.

The moment that black phantom appeared, even her own martial soul—as a nine-ringed Titled Douluo—had felt an intense sense of trembling.

That absolute suppression of bloodline left her feeling terrified.

"What kind of martial soul is this? That aura of despair and ferocity does not belong to this world at all!"

"Not only that, he hasn't even absorbed a soul ring, yet he can slaughter a 1,400-year-old soul beast on the ground using only physical strength and an innate domain."

"If he were to awaken his first soul skill, his second soul skill... to what extent would his strength skyrocket?"

Bibi Dong dared not even imagine it.

She had lived for so many years and seen countless so-called geniuses, but in front of Lin Yuan, they all paled into mediocrity.

Lin Yuan retracted his domain and the Nine Nether Beast bloodline phantom, and the surrounding pressure finally dissipated.

He turned around and beckoned to the still-dazed Hu Liena.

"Don't just stand there, come over."

"This demon fox is 1,400 years old, and its attributes are a perfect match for your martial soul; it is absolutely top-tier. Absorb it now."

Hu Liena snapped out of her trance, startled for a moment.

"1,400 years? Can... can I absorb that?"

Although Hu Liena was not very experienced, she had heard the instructors at Martial Soul Hall mention that the limit for a first soul ring was around 400 years.

"If I say you can, you can." Lin Yuan's tone was calm but carried absolute confidence.

After Hu Liena delivered the finishing blow, she closed her eyes, released her Demon Fox Martial Soul, and used her soul power to guide the purple thousand-year soul ring toward herself.

The moment the purple ring touched her body, a violent surge of energy instantly rushed into her meridians.

Hu Liena let out a muffled groan, her small face turning deathly pale as her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The lingering resentment and massive energy left behind by a thousand-year soul beast were simply not something a level-ten soul master could withstand.

Bibi Dong, hiding in the shadows, was horrified to see this.

However, just as Bibi Dong prepared to intervene.

Lin Yuan walked in front of Hu Liena and once again expanded his Nine-Nether Slaughter God's Domain.

The incredibly pure power of the domain instantly enveloped Hu Liena.

At the same time, Lin Yuan mobilized the trace of Nine Nether Beast bloodline pressure within his body, directly suppressing the rampaging purple soul ring.

The previously manic power of the thousand-year soul ring, upon touching the Nine Nether Beast bloodline, became as docile as a rabbit encountering its natural predator.

The resentment of the demon fox remaining in the soul ring was crushed into nothingness by that fierce bloodline aura.

Under the guidance of the domain, the massive, violent soul power transformed into a gentle energy, flowing slowly along Hu Liena's meridians into her dantian.

Hu Liena's tightly furrowed brows smoothed out instantly, and the color returned to her pale face.

The soul power fluctuations around her became extremely stable, and the purple soul ring settled firmly onto her Demon Fox Martial Soul, beginning a perfect fusion.

This scene was witnessed in its entirety by Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong remained completely frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

Her eyes were filled with extreme shock, and her breathing even stalled.

"She succeeded? She actually succeeded in absorbing a 1,400-year-old first soul ring? Without any signs of her body exploding, or even a hint of pain?"

Bibi Dong's mind spun, and her inherent understanding of the world collapsed in that moment.

The research theories that Yu Xiaogang had spent his entire life perfecting, which he touted as the absolute truth of the soul master world, had become a complete joke under the actions of this six-year-old child!

"Yu Xiaogang's theories... could they have been wrong all along?"

Bibi Dong looked at the back turned toward her below, a stormy sea raging in her heart.

Hu Liena had successfully absorbed the thousand-year soul ring, her small face filled with excitement and thrill.

She waved her fist, feeling the surging power within her, and her worship of Lin Yuan reached an incomparable peak.

Lin Yuan glanced at her stable soul power fluctuations and did not linger.

"Let's go. The border between the outer and inner circles is still quite spacious; let's go look around elsewhere."

Lin Yuan kept his hands in his pockets, his expression incredibly relaxed, as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

Hu Liena immediately followed him like a little shadow, sticking close behind Lin Yuan as the two headed toward another direction in the forest.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Soul Hunting Forest.

Two figures, one tall and one short, were weaving through the dense woods.

Walking in front was a thin, tall old man.

He had long, ink-green hair, and his eyes shimmered with a ghostly green light, his entire being radiating a gloomy aura that warned others to keep their distance.

This old man was none other than the world-renowned Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

Beside Dugu Bo followed a little girl who looked like she had been carved out of jade.

The little girl had beautiful short hair and large eyes that revealed a hint of cleverness and arrogance; she was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

A few steps behind the two followed a middle-aged man with a stiff expression and a buzz cut.

This man wore a washed-out gray robe with his hands clasped behind his back; it was Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang had been wandering around the vicinity of the Soul Hunting Forest lately.

Having heard that many young geniuses with decent aptitude had entered the area, he had come under the guise of offering guidance, hoping to scout a few talented disciples to validate the theory he had been mocked for all these years.

After circling around, he had happened to run into Dugu Bo, who was bringing his granddaughter to obtain her first soul ring.

Although Yu Xiaogang's reputation in the soul master world was poor, he was still a somewhat well-known figure who held the title of "Grandmaster."

Dugu Bo was knowledgeable and experienced, so he had naturally heard of Yu Xiaogang.

Considering that his granddaughter's first soul ring was of vital importance, Dugu Bo thought it wouldn't hurt to have an extra person to consult, so he made an exception and allowed this Soul Grand Master, whose strength was only at level twenty-nine, to follow behind.

Following in the rear, Yu Xiaogang saw that Dugu Bo had remained silent, so he immediately put on an inscrutable, profound air.

He coughed twice and began his long-winded lecture with a solemn expression.

"Senior Poison, regarding the matter of your granddaughter obtaining her first soul ring, you must not be careless."

"I have clearly stated in my published Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that the most important aspect of a soul master absorbing a soul ring is the compatibility between the martial soul and the ring."

"Many mediocre people blindly pursue the age of the soul ring, believing that the higher the age, the stronger the soul skill. This is complete nonsense!"
