The First Soul Ring of a Millennium? Are You Playing with My Great-Grandson Like a Firecracker!

Qian Renheng shook his head slightly. Right now, he had not even obtained his first soul ring, so strictly speaking, he did not count as a true soul master.

He was not even a soul master yet, so why was he worrying about so much?

Whoosh—

Just then, within the originally noisy crowd, an extremely faint ripple of soul power suddenly spread.

Qian Daoliu walked with his hands behind his back, moving through the crowd at an unhurried pace as if no one else were there.

He had restrained his aura almost to the limit, his entire person seeming to merge with the surrounding environment.

Those soul masters, who usually lived with blood on their blades and their heads tied to their belts, with their vigilance cranked to the maximum, simply failed to notice Qian Daoliu walking past them.

"Oh?" Qian Wushuang raised his eyes slightly and teased Qian Daoliu, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot as he walked toward them.

"Isn't this that useless good-for-nothing son of mine? Why did you get here so slowly? Don't tell me you can't keep up?"

"..." Qian Daoliu was speechless and complained, "Dad, you're already so old. How can you break your promise?"

"We agreed to compete in speed, but look at you—you didn't even say a word before rushing off ahead. Is that any way to play?"

"That's called all's fair in war. What the hell do you know?" Qian Wushuang said with perfect confidence. "You're over a hundred years old already. How can you still be so naïve?"

"You don't even understand such a simple principle? From the looks of it, our Angel High Priest doesn't seem like much either. Leaving Spirit Hall to you might be a disaster!"

Hearing his old man twist logic so shamelessly, Qian Daoliu could only feel helpless. Who told him this was his father?

"All right, Dad, let's hurry and handle the serious business. We should get to Star Dou Forest quickly, find suitable soul rings for the siblings as soon as possible, then head back."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu's expression turned serious, and he began analyzing. "Xiao Xue's martial soul is the pure Six-Winged Angel martial soul."

"Her first soul ring should ideally possess the three attributes of sacredness, light, and flame. Only then can the potential of her martial soul be maximized!"

"Of course, soul beasts with all three of these attributes are extremely rare and can only be found by chance. If we truly can't find one..."

"Then we'll settle for the next best thing and look for a soul beast with both light and flame attributes, or one with a pure light attribute, as a replacement."

Regarding the arrangement for Qian Renxue's first soul ring, an old veteran expert like Qian Daoliu knew exactly what to choose even with his eyes closed.

"Mm, not bad." Hearing this, Qian Wushuang could not find anything wrong with it either. For an angel martial soul, the most compatible soul ring would naturally come from a soul beast that possessed all three attributes.

If they truly could not find one, then they would use a soul beast with both light and flame attributes as a replacement. If even that was unavailable, then a pure light-attribute soul beast would do.

After finishing the arrangement for Qian Renxue's soul ring, Qian Daoliu looked to the side at Qian Renheng, the boy who had made him grit his teeth in anger last night.

He frowned slightly. "Xiao Heng's Death Angel martial soul is somewhat special. It also has three attributes, but these attributes are even rarer!"

"Darkness, death, and destruction. It won't be easy to find a soul beast that possesses all three of these attributes!"

"Let's handle it the same way as Xiao Xue's. If we can find a soul beast with all three attributes, then we'll use one with all three!"

"If we really can't find one... then we'll use a pure darkness-attribute soul beast for his first soul ring."

Qian Daoliu gave a light nod, his tone grave.

Pure darkness-attribute soul beasts, like light-attribute soul beasts, were hard to find, but not impossibly so.

The real difficulty lay in the two attributes of death and destruction. They were on the same level as the sacred attribute and were extremely rare.

Moreover, soul beasts that possessed such attributes were not only more aggressive, but also extremely few in number and very powerful.

"Mm... For Xiao Heng's martial soul, a soul beast with all three attributes really won't be easy to find."

"How about this? When the time comes, we'll fully release our perception and move through the outer region of Star Dou Forest at the fastest speed. Maybe we'll be able to find one!"

"As long as we don't make too much noise and don't trigger a beast tide in Star Dou Forest, it'll be fine."

Qian Wushuang said this. Rare was rare, but it was not as if they did not exist. The two of them were peerless experts, and with such powerful perception, could they really fail to find one?!

"A soul beast with the three attributes of darkness, death, and destruction. If we can't find one, then we'll use a pure darkness-attribute soul beast as my first soul ring."

Qian Renheng thought to himself that his martial soul was a god-level martial soul, so its requirements for soul ring attributes were not that strict.

Of course, finding one would be best, but if they could not, it would not be a pity either.

After several rounds of discussion, Qian Wushuang and Qian Daoliu wasted no more time. They left Soul Hunting Town and brought Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue into Star Dou Forest.

The moment they stepped into Star Dou Forest, Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue felt as though they had passed through a barrier of space-time and returned to the distant ancient era.

Towering ancient trees surrounded them, their enormous crowns blotting out the sky, while thick vines coiled around one another like horned dragons.

The midday sun was scorching, yet it could not pierce this extremely dense primeval forest. It could only cast mottled light and shadow through the gaps between the leaves.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Two golden afterimages, each carrying one person in their arms, shuttled through the intricate forest.

Qian Wushuang and Qian Daoliu fully released their vast, smoke-like perception.

Like two precise radars, they conducted a carpet search of the surrounding area for soul beasts that met their needs.

About half an hour later, Qian Wushuang's brows furrowed as he watched Qian Daoliu turn and head toward the depths of the forest.

He could not help asking, "Liu'er, why are you flying toward the mixed region? Stop already!"

"Head into the mixed zone. That's where thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts live. Little Heng and Xiao Xue only need to find ones around four hundred years old."

"Searching in the outer perimeter is more than enough for us. If we enter the mixed zone, it might be even harder to find them!"

At that, Qian Daoliu did not stop. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. He was ready to give his old man a surprise!

You remnant of a bygone era, you old quail whose thinking has fallen behind the times—what do you know?

"Dad, doesn't this just show how ignorant and uninformed you are?" Qian Daoliu said smugly.

"Little Heng and Xiao Xue's talent is unprecedented. I plan to have them directly absorb thousand-year soul rings!"

"So, old man, we have to enter the mixed zone. Only there can we find soul beasts suitable for them."

"Thousand-year soul rings?"

"That's right, old man. Thousand-year soul rings. You're about to witness the birth of soul masters whose first soul ring is a thousand years old!"

When Qian Wushuang heard this, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. His originally calm eyes instantly went wide with fury.

His chest heaved violently, and an uncontrollable, savage rage erupted like a volcano.

In his understanding, no matter how astonishingly gifted someone was, the age limit they could withstand for their first soul ring would absolutely never exceed five hundred years!

For soul masters, absorbing soul rings was a gradual process, breaking through one's own limits step by step.

The first soul ring did not exceed five hundred years, the second soul ring did not exceed one thousand years... yellow, yellow, purple, purple...!

This was an ironclad rule countless predecessors had summarized through bloody lessons. No one could break it!

Qian Daoliu wanted these two six-year-old children, who had only just awakened their martial souls and had such delicate bodies, to forcibly absorb thousand-year soul rings right away?

And he even said he was ignorant and uninformed? This was clearly treating his two precious great-grandchildren like firecrackers to be tossed around! Damn you, Qian Daoliu!
