I Want Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

Unlike Dugu Bo's shock, Jiang He was seriously sensing the changes within his body.

That overwhelming sense of power was something he had never gained no matter how hard he trained before.

Even after consuming immortal herbs, he had never felt this way.

He felt terrifyingly powerful.

He even felt like he could rend Dugu Bo apart in front of him.

For a moment, the look he gave Dugu Bo became intensely aggressive.

"Hmph!"

Dugu Bo sensed the aggression in Jiang He's gaze. With a cold snort, he released his aura, instantly clearing Jiang He's mind.

"Teacher, I..."

Jiang He wanted to explain, but Dugu Bo interrupted him. "No matter. When this old man first awakened his Martial Soul, his behavior was much like yours. A powerful Martial Soul brings extraordinary benefits to a Soul Master. The fact that you became immersed in that sensation of power only proves that your Martial Soul is excellent. This is a good thing."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Jiang He nodded.

He then withdrew his Martial Soul and stood before Dugu Bo once more.

However, because of the Martial Soul Possession just now, Jiang He's clothes had become tattered again.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo directly tossed Jiang He a set of clothes.

"Put them on. With your current build, wearing this old man's clothes shouldn't be a problem. Besides, these clothes are woven from the silk of Century Snow Silkworms. They're highly resilient, so you should be able to keep them on even during Martial Soul Possession."

Jiang He took the clothes, but before he could change, Dugu Bo tossed him another ring.

"This is a Storage Soul Tool. The space isn't large; this old man generally uses it to store clothes. You can have it from now on. As this old man's disciple, you shouldn't look too shabby. There are also several unworn sets of clothes inside. Take those as well."

Jiang He froze as he looked at the ring in his hand.

After probing it with his Soul Power just now, he had clearly seen that it contained ten cubic meters of space.

Damn, and he called this not large?

In the original story, Tang San only had twenty-four cubic meters, and it was divided up—each individual compartment was only one cubic meter.

Yet the one Dugu Bo had given Jiang He was a single ten-cubic-meter space.

In terms of quality, it completely crushed Tang San's.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you changing? Showing this old man what you've got?!"

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang He with a teasing expression.

Jiang He blinked.

What a joke. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. They were both men—it wasn't as though they had never been naked in a public bathhouse before.

He changed directly in front of Dugu Bo.

After moving around to get used to the clothes, he found that they fit perfectly. As expected of clothes worn by a Title Douluo—the elasticity was truly excellent.

Once Jiang He had mostly adjusted, Dugu Bo said, "Since we're already in Sunset Forest, we might as well obtain your first two Soul Rings. Sunset Forest may not be as vast as Star Dou Forest, but finding two hundred-year power-type Soul Beasts will be easy enough."

"Teacher." Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Jiang He could not help interrupting him. "My Soul Rings may be somewhat different from other people's."

"Hmm?"

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang He with some confusion and asked, "What, are you planning to add plant-type Soul Rings to your Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? While quite a few plant-type Soul Beasts are indeed highly aggressive and suit your Martial Soul's claws, you are ultimately a beast Martial Soul. Adding Soul Rings of the same type would benefit you more."

"Teacher, that's not what I mean."

Jiang He looked at Dugu Bo with an expression of hesitation.

Dugu Bo's brows furrowed slightly. "Speak plainly. This old man hates beating around the bush."

Hearing that, Jiang He scratched his head and said, "I want two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings."

"What?!"

Dugu Bo stared at Jiang He in shock.

He simply could not understand why Jiang He would say that.

Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Jiang He felt somewhat uneasy as well.

Wanting to directly absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as his First Soul Ring was still far too shocking for the natives of Douluo Continent.

But he had no choice.

Because the system panel stated it clearly.

[First Soul Ring: None (current physical strength can accommodate power impacts below thirteen thousand years; Spiritual Power can withstand Soul Shock from Soul Beasts below twelve thousand years)]

He had begun cultivating a Spiritual Power technique two years ago.

It had even been specially customized for him by the system.

Not only could it strengthen his Spiritual Power to the greatest extent possible, it was also extremely compatible with this world's rules for Spiritual Power cultivation.

Thus, after consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Jiang He's Spiritual Power had soared directly to roughly the level of an ordinary Soul King.

Spiritual Power at this level could naturally withstand the impact of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Originally, Jiang He had been somewhat dissatisfied with the increase in his Spiritual Power.

After all, in his previous life, he had seen analyses from certain extreme fans claiming that after Tang San consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, he could see through Xiao Wu's true form. His Spiritual Power should have been at least comparable to a Soul Douluo's, or even a Title Douluo's.

Yet after Jiang He consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, he had only reached roughly the level of a Soul King. It was hard not to feel some disappointment.

But on further thought, if Tang San truly had Spiritual Power that strong, he would not have needed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to withstand the Soul Shock of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast while obtaining his Fourth Soul Ring.

Therefore, Tang San's Spiritual Power after absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew should have been inferior to Jiang He's current Spiritual Power.

His Spiritual Power cultivation technique should have been far worse than Jiang He's.

Or rather, it was less compatible with this world than Jiang He's technique.

As for his body... Jiang He had used the methods provided by the system to relentlessly temper it since childhood.

Even his cultivation techniques leaned toward physical training, and he had consumed two immortal herbs that enhanced physical strength.

The remaining Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid was mainly used to consolidate one's foundation and nourish one's essence, but it also provided a certain boost to the body.

After so many enhancements, saying that his physical body rivaled a Soul King's might have been an exaggeration, but it was absolutely enough to withstand a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast's Soul Ring!

By then, Dugu Bo had already recovered from his shock.

Looking at Jiang He, he frowned and said, "Jiang He, I know you are somewhat obsessed with growing stronger, but this old man has never heard of a First Soul Ring being ten thousand years old.

In the world of Soul Masters, the limit for a First Soul Ring, tested through generations of lives, is only four hundred and twenty-three years. The limit for a Second Soul Ring is only seven hundred and sixty-four years. If you exceed that limit, your body may very well be unable to endure it and..."

Dugu Bo suddenly stopped before he could finish.

Because he saw Jiang He's build.

Even without Martial Soul Possession, Jiang He's sturdy physique made it impossible to associate him with a six-year-old child.

More importantly, Dugu Bo remembered that Jiang He had previously consumed two immortal herbs specifically meant to enhance physical strength, along with another immortal herb meant to consolidate his foundation and nourish his essence.

So he changed his words. "Even if your body can withstand the impact of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, what you do not know is that after ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts die, their Soul Rings produce a kind of Soul Shock. If your Spiritual Power is insufficient, then..."

This time, Dugu Bo fell silent on his own again.

He remembered once more.

Jiang He had consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

According to the Secret Treasure Record, that thing was specifically meant to enhance Spiritual Power, and the improvement it provided was enormous.

The description alone was exaggerated: consuming it allowed one to cultivate Fiery Eyes of Truth!

Thus, he could no longer accurately judge Jiang He's Spiritual Power.
