The Third Spirit Ring, Three Thousand Year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

"I understand now. It must be his Martial Soul; when he first awakened, his Innate Soul Power was insufficient, meaning it didn't fully awaken."

"Later, he created a Guidance Method to strengthen his blood and qi, which indirectly improved the quality of his Martial Soul."

Yu Xiaogang spoke with great conviction, feeling that his reasoning was perfectly sound.

He truly was a genius.

The Live Broadcast Room offered him rare praise.

[Ye Tianyun's Human Emperor Banner is the most powerful Martial Soul in the world, bar none. It could instantly kill Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer; the issue was merely a lack of innate nourishment, preventing it from providing sufficient soul power.]

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction. He had finally guessed correctly—though, in truth, it was just a guess. The Grandmaster's theories were always a mix of blind luck and speculation.

Tang San, however, was dumbfounded.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept the Human Emperor Banner being the strongest Martial Soul.

But could they stop comparing it to his Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass? This was clearly a personal attack; he, Tang San, had his pride, too.

The Live Broadcast Room didn't care about Tang San at all and continued its explanation.

[After Ye Tianyun created the Guidance Method, his soul power, blood and qi, and physical constitution all improved, causing his Martial Soul quality to gradually rise until it reached the God-level.]

God Realm.

The God of Destruction listened and praised him sincerely:

"As expected of the successor I have set my sights on. He is perfectly capable of inheriting the God of Destruction position. Have you all noticed? His Martial Soul's temperament is a perfect match for mine."

The gods: "..."

They had never seen such a shameless person.

"Enough, what do you mean you two are a perfect match? There is clearly no connection at all."

"Indeed, his Martial Soul's attributes carry an aura of evil, making it very suitable for my God of Evil position."

"Pah, it clearly relates to life."

"No, it also relates to Goodness."

"Actually, it also has a connection to me, the Asura God."

The various God Kings were all competing in a display of shamelessness.

No God King was willing to give up such an outstanding successor.

The Live Broadcast Room continued.

[Ye Tianyun wandered around the Star Dou Forest twice but didn't encounter any decent Spirit Beasts. He looked down on those with low combat power, like the Soft Bone Rabbit.]

???

Xiao Wu grew anxious and cursed out loud:

"What's wrong with a Soft Bone Rabbit? Did a Soft Bone Rabbit eat his family's rice? Why look down on my bunny? My bunny is very cute!"

Yu Xiaogang rolled his eyes. The bunny was indeed cute, but its combat power was lacking.

If one were to choose, one would naturally choose a powerful Spirit Beast.

[On this very day, Ye Tianyun finally discovered a powerful Spirit Beast: a three-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.]

[It is hard to say whether Ye Tianyun was lucky or unlucky. Encountering a three-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a tall order; although it was only three thousand years old, no Spirit Beast under ten thousand years could be its match. It could slaughter a Soft Bone Rabbit with ease.]

???

Xiao Wu was so furious she wanted to throw hands. Could they stop using the Soft Bone Rabbit as a benchmark?

But the moment she heard it was a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, she instantly fell silent.

Back then, the three of them had failed to take down an eighty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Forest, which showed just how powerful the species was.

[Ye Tianyun himself was shocked. He had never expected to encounter a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. This is a Spirit Beast tainted by the power of the God of Evil, and the God of Evil is one of the five great God Kings, on par with the Asura God.]

God Realm.

The God of Evil was instantly overjoyed and boasted smugly:

"I told you it was fated for me! A third Spirit Ring being a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is simply too perfect for me. It should rightfully belong to me."

The Asura God and the God of Destruction were green with envy.

But if they truly encountered Ye Tianyun, they would never give up. Such an excellent successor deserved to inherit their divine positions.

[Ye Tianyun decided on the spot to take down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Although it was powerful, its age was still low, and he believed he could handle it.]

[After a grueling battle and paying a significant price, Ye Tianyun finally subdued the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.]

[Once finished, he couldn't help but sigh that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was far stronger than Tang San. Tang San was not even as good as a beast.]

Tang San's composure shattered instantly.

"Damn it, what is that supposed to mean? I'm not as good as a beast? It was only three thousand years old; if it were me, I could have killed it instantly too."

He had killed a two-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider back then and even obtained an External Soul Bone. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was only a thousand years older.

Xiao Wu wanted to say something but held back. She really wanted to tell Tang San that he might not have been able to beat a three-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, began to doubt once more:

"Ye Tianyun claims the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses the power of an Evil God King. Is that true? Could he be exaggerating just to show off his own strength?"

Besides my disciple Tang San, who else could possibly have a connection to the gods?

[Ye Tianyun quickly made his decision: he would absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Spirit Ring as his third Spirit Ring.]

Yu Xiaogang was the first to voice his skepticism again:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. According to my theory, the limit for a Spirit Master's third Spirit Ring should be 1,700 years, with very few reaching 2,000. How could he possibly break through 3,000?"

He had originally set the limit at 1,700 years, but since Tang San had created a miracle, he refused to believe that Ye Tianyun could do the same.

The Live Broadcast Room went all out.

[On the Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang published his thesis on Spirit Ring age limits, but in reality, it is incorrect.]

[His disciple, Tang San, had a third Spirit Ring that was 2,000 years old.]

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

So what if I was wrong? Can you stop bringing him up? Now the whole world is going to mock me, like the Soul Saint Brothers standing right next to me.

[Of course, one must never think of absorbing a 2,000-year ring lightly. Even Tang San, who possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill, paid a heavy price to absorb his 2,000-year Spirit Ring.]

The scene shifted, and Tang San appeared.

Everyone could see that in order to absorb the 2,000-year Man Faced Demon Spider Spirit Ring, blood was seeping from Tang San's veins, turning him into a blood-soaked mess.

Just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

"Forget it, let's just be sensible and absorb a standard thousand-year Spirit Ring."

"Indeed, a 2,000-year Spirit Ring is not something we can withstand; it's far too dangerous."

"I wouldn't say that. We all have the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Even if we can't reach 2,000, 1,700 or 1,800 years should be possible."

Tang San's face grew even darker.

The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was his, yet everyone here possessed it.

[The so-called Spirit Ring age limit is actually related to an individual's meridians, physical constitution, and mental strength.]

[As long as all three are sufficiently strong, one can absorb a Spirit Ring beyond the standard age limit. As it happens, Ye Tianyun's mental strength far exceeds that of an ordinary person, and his Guidance Method also possesses the ability to strengthen meridians and blood energy.]

[Therefore, when Ye Tianyun absorbed the 3,000-year Spirit Ring, he only felt a hint of pressure, completely lacking the gruesome sight of Tang San.]

Of the three images shown, two featured Tang San, who had already turned into a blood-soaked mess.

Only Ye Tianyun remained unscathed, with only a trace of pain on his face, clearly indicating a bit of pressure on his mental strength.

In every other aspect, he completely crushed Tang San.
