The Third Soul Ring, Forty Thousand Years!

Qian Renxue closed her eyes to sense it, then opened them again, sounding somewhat uncertain.

"Was that... an Eight-Winged Angel? But... it seems it hasn't completely evolved?"

Qian Daoliu stepped forward, placed a hand on Qian Renxue's head, and closed his eyes to sense it.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said slowly, "It has indeed evolved, but not completely."

"The Eight-Winged Angel is still only in its embryonic form. Once Xue'er's cultivation rises in the future, the eight wings will gradually become complete and ultimately fully take shape."

"That's already incredible!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo burst into laughter. "An Eight-Winged Angel! This is the first evolution in the history of the Angel Martial Soul! Xue'er's future is limitless!"

Qian Renxue blinked, then looked at Ling Feng with a sweet smile.

"Xiao Feng, thank you."

Ling Feng smiled as well and reached out to rub her head. "You're welcome. By the way, what about your Soul Power? What level are you at now?"

Qian Renxue closed her eyes to sense it, then opened them in surprise. "Level twenty-eight? I was originally level twenty-six, so I only gained two levels?"

"As expected."

Qian Daoliu nodded. "Just like Jin Chen, the vast majority of the Immortal Herb's energy was used for Martial Soul Evolution. Gaining two levels is already an unexpected delight."

Ling Feng nodded, though he secretly sighed inwardly.

Jin Chen had gone from level eighteen to level twenty, while Qian Renxue had gone from level twenty-six to level twenty-eight. Both had gained two levels.

But one had evolved from a top-tier Martial Soul into a super Martial Soul, while the other had evolved from a god-tier Martial Soul into one of an even higher rank. The difference between them could not be compared.

"Good!" Golden Crocodile Douluo slapped his thigh. "Today brings double joy! No, triple joy!"

"This old man has broken through to the absolute peak, Xiaoye has broken through to Titled Douluo, every Worship Hall elder has broken through their bottleneck, and the two children's Martial Souls have evolved! Tonight, we must hold a grand feast and celebrate properly!"

Qian Daoliu rarely showed a smile. "That works. Since everyone is here, we'll have a proper reunion dinner at the Worship Hall tonight."

Everyone responded with a roar of agreement.

Tuoba Yue'er walked over, took Qian Renxue's hand, and looked her up and down, her eyes filled with affection.

"Xue'er is so amazing. You'll definitely become a great beauty in the future."

Qian Renxue lowered her head shyly, but she could not hide the smile at the corners of her lips.

Jin Chen sidled up to Ling Feng and whispered, "Boss, my grandpa said he's throwing a grand feast. Does that mean there'll be lots of delicious food?"

Ling Feng could not help laughing. "All you know is eating."

"Of course!"

Jin Chen answered righteously, "Martial Soul Evolution consumes so much. Shouldn't I replenish myself properly?"

Ling Feng was speechless, but he did not argue.

Golden Crocodile Douluo heard him from the side and laughingly cursed, "Brat," though the indulgence in his eyes could not be concealed.

Dugu Yan ran over, grabbed Jin Chen and Qian Renxue's hands, and chattered away as she asked them all sorts of questions.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and the other children also gathered around, congratulating them all at once.

For a time, the Worship Hall was filled with the children's laughter.

Ling Feng stood to one side, watching the scene with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

In this life, with him here, Spirit Hall's ending would never be like it had been in the original story.

That damned Tang San could just obediently remain a blacksmith's son in this life.

Ling Feng had no intention of killing Tang San, at least not before he possessed enough strength.

Tang San's arrival in Douluo Continent was the handiwork of the Asura God.

Before he had a trump card capable of opposing him, Ling Feng would not deal Tang San a lethal blow.

But not killing him did not mean he would watch Tang San grow unchecked. Qiangu Xiaoye was about to break through to Titled Douluo.

After breaking through, with the overwhelming might of the Coiling Dragon Staff, even if Tang Hao received Ah Yin's sacrifice and fully unleashed the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques, he would most likely be unable to crush him.

Moreover, Ling Feng had also prepared a Ten Thousand Year spiritual medicine for Qian Xunji. Raising Qian Xunji by one level would not be a problem.

Most importantly, there was Yue Guan's transformation. Yue Guan at level ninety-five and Gui Mei at level ninety-two could jointly unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Even if Tang Hao cheated again, he would not be able to break free.

Furthermore, Ling Feng would prepare a Ten Thousand Year spiritual medicine for Gui Mei, Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, and the others as well.

Right now, he lacked everything except Ten Thousand Year spiritual medicines. After all, they could be found everywhere within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Tang Hao, a newly advanced Titled Douluo, could at most escape successfully with the Asura God's intervention. As for trying to kill someone in return, that would require the Asura God to act personally.

And the God King of Destruction had always been watching the Asura God, so the chance of him intervening directly was very small.

A grand banquet had already been laid out within the Worship Hall. Half an hour later, Qian Xunji arrived with Spirit Hall's Grand Elder and Third Elder Gui Mei to attend the feast.

"Today, with all the seniors gathered here, I, Dugu Bo, have received Spirit Hall's esteem. Such immense kindness cannot be repaid, so I can only offer this broken body in return. If none of you disdain me, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to join Spirit Hall."

Dugu Bo rose to his feet and bowed toward the Worship Hall elders.

Dugu Bo was already level ninety-three and had hopes of reaching above level ninety-five in this lifetime, so Spirit Hall naturally would not refuse his request.

Moreover, he was the only Titled Douluo skilled in using poison. With him around in the future, one person alone could rival a great sect.

After all, he might not be able to defeat the opposing Titled Douluo, but he could leave the other side with only that Titled Douluo standing.

Every powerhouse had many forces backing them. No one was willing to completely fall out with Dugu Bo.

"Good, good, good. It is naturally Spirit Hall's honor that Senior Dugu is willing to join us."

"However, you are currently level ninety-three, so by rights you should be Spirit Hall's Third Elder. But Elder Gui Mei has made many contributions to Spirit Hall..."

Qian Xunji looked somewhat troubled.

"Your Holiness the Pope worries too much. I, Dugu Bo, am not someone who craves vanity. The position of Fourth Elder is already quite good."

"Very well, then we shall proceed as Elder Dugu says."

After the banquet, Ling Feng returned home and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

Jin Chen, Qian Renxue, and Ling Feng had all reached a bottleneck in their cultivation and needed new Soul Rings.

Because their Soul Power had been raised by Immortal Herbs, there was no sense of instability at all. They could all directly obtain Soul Rings.

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Qian Daoliu arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, where the three little ones had already been waiting for some time.

This time, Qian Daoliu personally brought the three children to obtain their Soul Rings.

After examining them, he found that the Soul Rings they required were all extremely rare. Rather than searching blindly, it would be better to visit the Star Dou Great Forest and meet that king among Soul Beasts.

Since they were going to cooperate, it was only reasonable to equip them with the best Soul Rings.

"Grandpa Qian, my physical strength has already improved greatly through the tempering of Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining, and my spiritual power has reached the level of a high-rank Soul Emperor after being enhanced by the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Immortal Herb."

"The Soul Ring I want this time should be around forty thousand years. Are we still going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"That's right, Xiao Feng. You cannot be careless in choosing your Soul Ring. Ordinary sub-dragon Soul Beasts are simply unworthy of becoming your Soul Ring."

"Besides, the Soul Rings Xiaoxue and Jin Chen need will not be easy to find either. This old man will take you to meet that king among Soul Beasts and have him provide Soul Rings for you."

Ling Feng was somewhat surprised. Qian Daoliu truly did not hold back, squeezing Di Tian for everything he was worth.

Ling Feng naturally wanted to meet that absolute king among Soul Beasts as well, to see whether he could extort a batch of Soul Bones from him.

Not necessarily hundred-thousand-year ones, but at the very least, he needed to get some Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.
