Yue Guan and Gui Mei Were Shocked: A 600-Year Soul Ring?!

Gui Mei's background was the most miserable among the three brothers.

Even Chrysanthemum Douluo had it better than him.

When Gui Mei was young, his Martial Soul had not been the current Gui Mei Martial Soul, but the Ghost Fire Martial Soul. However, he was despised by his relatives and suffered countless cold stares and isolation. Back then, he was loathed even by dogs and bullied by everyone.

He was set up and forced to jump into a lake. At the brink of death, his Martial Soul and soul mutated, becoming the Gui Mei Martial Soul he possessed now.

From then on, Gui Mei never showed his true face to others. He always wore a mask, withdrawn and lonely.

Fortunately, Xu Xiao had arrived. His appearance had changed many things. Gui Mei and Yue Guan met ahead of time, and Xu Xiao was gradually changing their personalities as well.

As for Yue Guan, he had it somewhat better than Gui Mei, though not by much.

Still, the three brothers were now gathered together, so it was not entirely a bad thing.

With Xu Xiao's foresight, the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo of this life would not repeat the same mistakes. Perhaps they could even make a name for themselves in the God Realm.

At this moment, the three of them had already made up their minds. They had to have this python.

Xu Xiao's Spirit Pagoda Martial Soul had no attribute restrictions. More precisely, it was attribute-less, so it did not have particularly demanding requirements for Soul Rings.

In any case, it only had one soul skill. Put simply, he just needed to obtain a Soul Ring with the highest possible age.

Only then could he bring out the greatest use of this Martial Soul.

Now that a 600-year Wild Fallen Earth Python had appeared, there was no reason for Xu Xiao not to take it.

The three held their breath and cautiously watched the enormous python before them.

This snake was far more formidable than the Mandala Snake Tang San had encountered. Its teeth were sharp, its scales were tough, and its venom was several times more potent than the Mandala Snake's.

And its venom was its most important means of attack at this age.

"Brothers, be careful of its venom. If it touches us, all three of us will die!" Xu Xiao hurriedly warned them.

The three of them only had Soul Power at level 10. If they wanted to defeat this snake, they could only rely on wits. Otherwise, they would truly perish together.

Gui Mei nodded lightly and immediately used Martial Soul Possession. Although he had no soul skills, he could still bring out some of his Martial Soul's abilities.

A chrysanthemum appeared in Yue Guan's hand. It was resplendent, giving off a faint golden glow.

The immortal-grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

Xu Xiao did not summon his Martial Soul. Instead, he removed a flexible sword from his waist.

He had found someone to forge it for him. As for the money, he had naturally scammed it from his two good brothers.

He had originally wanted to make some repeating crossbows and the like, but even after drawing the blueprints, he gave up. Spears were too difficult to carry, and he did not have a storage Soul Tool.

Daggers were too small, and longswords were inconvenient to carry. A flexible sword, on the other hand, could be worn around his waist and used for sneak attacks.

Of course, the main reason was that Xu Xiao did not know the blueprints for those hidden weapons. Otherwise, who would use a flexible sword?

Gui Mei darted aside, drew his dagger from his waist, and used his speed to charge at the massive python first.

The python swung its tail. With a clang, the dagger struck its scales and produced a crisp sound.

Gui Mei was instantly sent flying backward. So hard.

Xu Xiao and Yue Guan stepped forward at the same time.

Yue Guan's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum did not have much power yet, but it was tough enough and could also emit light.

Yue Guan threw out his Martial Soul and infused it with Soul Power. Terrifying golden light erupted at once, instantly blinding the Wild Fallen Earth Python.

Xu Xiao thrust his flexible sword straight into the python's mouth. Relying on its instinctive sense of danger, the giant python reflexively bit down.

With a duang, Xu Xiao's flexible sword shattered.

In that instant, Gui Mei rushed forward and plunged his dagger into the python's eye.

The three quickly retreated. Their first attack had achieved excellent results.

Even so, the giant python became even more violent. It swung its tail and charged at them, its blood-soaked eye incomparably terrifying.

Its gaping maw lunged toward Xu Xiao. Naturally, Xu Xiao was not as fast as the giant snake.

Realizing something was wrong, Xu Xiao immediately summoned his little tower. He stuffed the white tower directly into the giant python's mouth and fell to the ground.

Looking at the giant python whose mouth had been wedged open, Xu Xiao realized that his Spirit Pagoda was incomparably sturdy. He immediately stirred his Soul Power and controlled his Spirit Pagoda to expand.

With a boom, the Spirit Pagoda directly burst the giant python apart.

With a thud, the giant python crashed heavily to the ground.

"Big Brother, are you all right?!"

The two hurried over and asked anxiously.

Xu Xiao shook his head. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Hurry, hurry! Did it drop a soul bone? What if we got lucky?"

Gui Mei hurriedly went over to feel around, then shook his head in the end. There was none.

Xu Xiao did not mind. It was normal not to have one. How could soul bones be so easy to obtain?

Having a Martial Soul like this was already an enormous blessing. Obtaining a soul bone would probably not be easy.

"Big Brother, hurry! Absorb the Soul Ring quickly, or it'll dissipate."

Yue Guan excitedly pointed at the yellow Soul Ring that had already floated out, happier than he had ever been.

Although Gui Mei did not speak, it was obvious that he was excited as well.

Xu Xiao nodded, withdrew his Martial Soul, and walked toward the Soul Ring glowing with yellow light.

Xu Xiao reached out and touched it. It seemed to be nothing more than a mass of energy, without any particular changes. "So this is a Soul Ring?"

Xu Xiao was greatly amazed. Although this was a low-tier fantasy world, it was still fantasy. He was just as curious as when he had awakened his Martial Soul.

After sensing it for a moment, Xu Xiao began absorbing the Soul Ring.

After his training, absorbing this Soul Ring was not as painful as he had imagined. Xu Xiao could endure that kind of pain.

Half an hour later, Xu Xiao finished absorbing it, and his Soul Power successfully reached level 14.

Seeing how energetic Xu Xiao looked, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both happy for him.

"Big Brother, your first Soul Ring is 600 years old. Even if word got out, the major powers would all try to recruit you."

Yue Guan chuckled and teased him.

"That's right, Big Brother. As far as I know, even the most talented geniuses have Soul Rings that are, at most, a little over 400 years old."

"Your 600-year Soul Ring has already surpassed theirs. You might even be the first on the continent."

Gui Mei added.

It truly was the first time the two had seen a first Soul Ring that was 600 years old. If not for Xu Xiao's ability to add 6,000-year Soul Rings to them, they would have wanted 600-year Soul Rings themselves.

Hearing their envious words, Xu Xiao laughed as well.

The two were not yet the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo from the original story, so they naturally had not seen as much. Seeing a 600-year Soul Ring still excited them.

Xu Xiao said, "Second Brother, Third Brother."

"As far as I know, there is more than one person whose first Soul Ring exceeded a thousand years."

"My mere 600 years would not even be worth mentioning before them."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were instantly shocked.

Impossible. Not everyone had a Martial Soul like Big Brother's, capable of attaching a thousand-year Soul Ring to their first soul skill.

Neither of them believed it.
