Absorbing a Spirit Ring Above Your Level? Just Absorb the Spirit Ring of the Blue Silver Grass

"How is this possible? My second uncle clearly stated in his theoretical work, Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, that the absorption limit for a soul master's second soul ring is eight hundred and sixty-four years!"

Yu Tianheng whispered to himself, but who among those present wasn't a soul master? Once his words reached the ears of the crowd, a wave of sneers erupted all around.

Yu Tianheng's second uncle? Isn't that Yu Xiaogang, the man regarded as a theoretical fraud?

The affairs of his early years were hardly a secret to these noble descendants; his absurd exploits were even used by their elders as cautionary tales to warn them against empty talk.

As for that book, Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, it was usually nothing more than a joke for them to discuss over tea. Who would have thought Yu Tianheng actually believed in it?

After all, according to Yu Xiaogang's theory, the soul ring Tang San had just absorbed far exceeded the so-called "safety limit." Forget about successful absorption; the high probability was that he would have exploded and died on the spot.

Yet the reality was that Tang San had not only successfully completed the feat of absorbing a thousand-year second soul ring, but as the crowd regained their senses, they realized his first soul ring's age was likely far from the simple three or four hundred years they had assumed.

This question suddenly became exceptionally sharp.

Was Yu Xiaogang's theory wrong? Or was Tang San simply beyond the scope of any theoretical measurement?

Before the shock in everyone's hearts could subside, an untimely yet incredibly blunt voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Teacher Jiang, may I ask... how can one absorb soul rings beyond their limit?"

As the words fell, the previously noisy scene turned deathly silent, and almost everyone's gaze snapped toward the speaker.

Yu Tianheng?

No, although they were also dying to know, to just ask it so directly...?

Good grief, truly good grief.

Yu Tianheng felt quite helpless about asking this. Although he relied on the sect's influence to be known alongside Yu Tianxin of the Thunder Academy as the "Blue Lightning Twin Stars," and his talent was indeed slightly superior, the position of Young Sect Master was by no means secure.

The reason he had come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the first place was to pursue Dugu Yan, and through her, win over her grandfather, the Title Douluo Dugu Bo, for his sect.

But now, he hadn't won Dugu Yan over, and he had no leads on the secret of her Martial Soul Evolution and dragon transformation. Voices of dissatisfaction within the sect were already stirring in the shadows.

With the method to absorb soul rings beyond one's limit right before his eyes, how could he remain indifferent?

He wanted to improve too badly!

On the other side, hearing Yu Tianheng's question, a flash of purple erupted in Tang San's eyes.

Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul?

Isn't that the plagiarized theory of that trash Gangzi who tried to trick him into becoming his apprentice back in Nuoding City?

He had just been wondering why this youth before him exuded such a nauseating aura; it turned out he was a clansman of that trash Gangzi!

And now, this evil person had the audacity to ask for his master's secret to becoming stronger—he was simply asking for death!

'Little San, do not worry. If this group of trash wants the method to absorb soul rings beyond their limit, what harm is there in telling them?'

'Without that precious medicinal herb, if they dare to attempt it rashly, the only outcome awaiting them is to explode and die.'

'People who are overly greedy will only meet their own destruction.'

'I will resolve the origin of your soul rings for you, so that in the future, you may unleash your talent without any reservations.'

Tang San was deeply moved. His master really had considered everything for him. He also knew that since he now possessed a thousand-year second ring, reaching a ten-thousand-year fourth ring was only a matter of time.

However, it was inevitable that once his talent was exposed, it would bring endless trouble.

Now that his great master could temporarily dispel the wicked thoughts of these evil people, his heart was finally at ease.

"Sect Master Ning, I imagine you are also very curious, aren't you?"

Ning Fengzhi, suddenly called out, gave a sheepish smile. Isn't that a rhetorical question?

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never found a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Since conventional methods didn't work, what if they absorbed every soul ring beyond their limit, using the vast origin energy within the rings to stimulate it?

Moreover, a soul master's cultivation was a matter of being one step ahead, always ahead.

Who wouldn't want such a secret technique that could maximize the potential of a genius?

"Please, enlighten us, Mr. Jiang Li."

After speaking, Ning Fengzhi bowed respectfully toward Jiang Li, his outward display of courtesy reaching the absolute limit.

Jiang Li's face instantly took on a compassionate expression. "Sect Master Ning, and everyone present, there is one thing I must make clear: absorbing soul rings beyond one's limit carries inherent risks."

Qian Renxue and the others hurriedly chimed in, stating that if any problems arose, it would be those people's own bad luck and had nothing to do with Jiang Li.

"Sigh, very well."

Jiang Li sighed 'helplessly.' "As everyone knows, when a soul master absorbs a soul ring, it is related to their physique. Therefore, to achieve this so-called cross-level absorption, strengthening the soul master's body is the top priority."

The crowd nodded. Although Jiang Li's words were technically correct, why did it feel like he hadn't actually said anything?

Jiang Li ignored the strange expressions on their faces and continued, "I imagine you have all realized that the most effective way to improve a soul master's physical strength is through the absorption of soul bones."

"It is just a pity that I, as a master, lack the ability; otherwise, Little San's first soul ring could certainly have been a thousand-year ring."

Ning Fengzhi and the others hurriedly stepped forward. "Mr. Jiang Li, that is not so. For your disciple Tang San to possess such cultivation at his age is already an extremely rare feat."

Jiang Li shook his head slowly, as if he didn't care, and continued in a leisurely tone, "Little San being able to absorb two consecutive soul rings beyond his limit is partly due to his childhood physical training, but the most important factor lies in his choice of soul rings."

Hearing Jiang Li say this, Ning Fengzhi felt as if he had grasped something.

If the final result was only this, it would undoubtedly leave him deeply disappointed.

"Little San's martial soul is the same as mine, the Blue Silver Emperor. Naturally, his first two soul rings both came from Blue Silver Grass."

"Even when it comes to four-hundred-year spirit rings dropped by True Dragon-type spirit beasts and Blue Silver Grass spirit beasts, the difficulty of absorption for the same spirit master is different. I believe you all have already guessed as much."

Yu Tianheng was deeply disappointed after hearing the method Jiang Li described; it was obvious that such a way was truly unsuitable for him.

After all, his Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon martial soul couldn't possibly absorb a Blue Silver Grass spirit ring, could it?

Gangzi: What a genius-level hypothesis!!!
