A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

It was an existence countless soul masters could only dream of!

Even though she was the young mistress of the Martial Soul Hall, it was still fraught with difficulties.

There were only a few places where Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts existed.

The Star Dou Forest, the Far North, and the ocean.

Moreover, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts weren't foolish; they huddled together for warmth.

To kill one alone

was equivalent to making an enemy of the entire soul beast gathering place, the difficulty of which was imaginable.

In the past nearly hundred years, the only ones fortunate enough to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring were Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect and her mother, Bibi Dong.

Even the great enshriners of the Martial Soul Hall had not enjoyed this honor.

Tang Hao's situation was special.

And she knew better than anyone the tragic price the Martial Soul Hall paid back then to help Bibi Dong obtain that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"But teacher, even if you can get me a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring... I won't be able to absorb it, right?"

Qian Renxue suppressed her excitement as she spoke.

She certainly didn't doubt Ling Xiao's abilities; after all, he had even helped her Angel Martial Soul evolve.

But absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring at level sixty, this was simply too contrary to common sense.

Even that theoretical master Yu Xiaogang, who spouted nonsense, probably wouldn't say something like this, right?

"You don't need to worry about this matter; your teacher has his own plans."

Ling Xiao said calmly.

If it weren't for the rules of this world regarding martial souls and soul rings, and the bottleneck one would face without a soul ring, he wouldn't care about any soul rings!

"How is it? Does it still feel difficult now?" Ling Xiao stared at Qian Renxue with a smile in his eyes.

"Teacher... you this..."

Qian Renxue hesitated and struggled for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and nodding.

"I'll try my best."

"It's not about trying."

Ling Xiao's tone suddenly became stern.

"This is a test for you!"

"If you can't even pass this, then you should just remain the Crown Prince and inherit your Martial Soul Hall!"

"I'll pretend I never took you as a disciple!"

"Your disciple will absolutely not fail to live up to teacher's expectations!"

Provoked by Ling Xiao, and with the temptation of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring dangling before her, Qian Renxue immediately said with firm conviction, determined to make Ling Xiao look at her with new eyes.

As expected, with the wager of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins hanging over them, and no lower limit set for the wager amount, an opponent was quickly matched.

"Ladies and gentlemen—"

The young host wearing glasses stood on the main stage, his voice filled with passion.

"This next match can be said to be the highlight of tonight's event!"

"The wager amount is as high as—"

"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!!!!"

"And the one who proposed the wager is a brand-new contestant who has never competed before—!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Soul Fighting Arena erupted.

"Holy crap! One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins! Even selling me wouldn't fetch that much!"

A spectator at the Soul King level exclaimed.

Indeed, one Gold Soul Coin was enough for an ordinary family of three to live for a month.

One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, that was the entire fortune of most Soul Saints, Of course, the paupers like Zhao Wuji and Flender didn't count.

"What kind of deep-seated hatred is this? Why not a Death Match?"

"What hatred?

I heard in the waiting area just now that for a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin wager, there's no limit on the amount for the participants, anyone can join the Wager Match!"

A well-informed young Soul Master squeezed over, full of regret, "Probably some young master with too much money to spend, right?"

"Is that true? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"I'm a Soul Elder too!"

His companion next to him stared at the information of the two combatants on the screen, slapping his thigh so hard it almost broke.

"Now, please welcome—"

"Heaven-Treading Demon Goat and the newcomer Fei Xue!"

"To the stage!"

The atmosphere was sufficiently built up, and the host shouted, Two large spotlights instantly illuminated the preparation areas on either side of the stage.

All eyes were drawn to them.

On one side stood a youth in white, form-fitting attire, wearing a half-winged mask, his posture upright, Exuding an indescribable handsomeness.

On the other side was a young man with a white cloth wrapped around his head, who kept kicking his legs, His entire being radiating volatility.

"That's Demon Goat!

I've seen his matches, five wins and three losses, his strength is quite good!

It's too cheap for him!"

"Huh? Is that the newcomer Fei Xue? As expected, a pretty boy, might not even last one round."

Seeing Qian Renxue's delicate appearance, the audience booed.

Qian Renxue had no time to pay attention to the noisy sounds.

Her entire focus was on her opponent, and she was giving it her all.

"Fei Xue, level thirty-nine Battle Soul Elder, Martial Soul: Flying Snow Goose."

"Heaven-Treading Demon Goat, level thirty-six Battle Soul Elder, Martial Soul: Black Mountain Ram."

Heaven-Treading Demon Goat stated his information in a formulaic manner, but his face was filled with undisguised hatred and contempt, "A pretty boy dares to come to the Soul Fighting Arena? One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins?"

"I hate you people the most, you noble scions who only bully the common folk and are insatiably greedy.

Let's start quickly, I'll show you that

combat isn't the child's play you imagine."

"Heh, I'm looking forward to it too."

Facing the opponent's provocation, Qian Renxue coldly replied.

"The match begins!"

As the referee gave the order, Heaven-Treading Demon Goat instantly underwent Martial Soul Possession

His eyes turned blood red, The white cloth wrapped around his head suddenly burst open, A pair of huge, black, winding goat horns emerged from the cloth, exuding a strange aura.

And his entire person became ferocious.

Due to Ling Xiao's restrictions, Qian Renxue did not summon her Martial Soul.

She directly drew a giant sword, half her height, from her storage Soul Tool and blocked in front of her.

The sword was inlaid with gold and silver gems, dazzlingly luxurious, There weren't many rule restrictions in Death Matches and Wager Matches, so Demon Goat wasn't surprised by Qian Renxue using a weapon.

But her action of not summoning her Martial Soul deeply wounded his pride.

He saw it as contempt and provocation!

"Arrogant brat, you're seeking death!"

"First Spirit Skill—Ram Charge!"

The white spirit ring hovering around his body flashed, and he shot forward like a sharp sword.

Although his first spirit skill was less than a century old, it could provide him with an instantaneous fifty percent speed boost, as well as a ten percent physical enhancement.

If his opponent remained this arrogant, he would surely teach her an unforgettable lesson.

Facing the Demon Goat's furious charge, Qian Renxue gripped her sword tightly, making no rash moves.

The moment he lunged forward—

She executed a horizontal slash, instantly disrupting his offensive rhythm, then stepped sideways, cleverly dodging the strike.

"That brat got lucky, he actually dodged it!"

"This Demon Goat is useless, how could he be so careless?"

"Arrogant fool! Heaven-Treading Demon Goat, hurry up and teach him a lesson!"

Qian Renxue's exquisite dodge

did not win any cheers; instead, it drew even more scorn and curses.

This was because, in the eyes of many, spirit masters were symbols of nobility who guarded their honor, possessing a certain sense of chivalry.

In their view, Qian Renxue's actions were crude, rude, and arrogant.

Coupled with her earlier display of throwing money around, she instantly found herself standing against everyone.

"Aren't you arrogant? If you have the guts, stop dodging!"

Having had his attack evaded by Qian Renxue, the Goat-Horned Youth lost face and roared in anger.
