Four-Thousand-Year Second Soul Rings or Three-Thousand-Year Second Soul Rings—Choose for Yourselves!

Don't be fooled by how Qian Renheng's Spirit Bone skills did not seem particularly powerful right now. What was the greatest trait of an External Soul Bone?

It could evolve endlessly as the Soul Master grew. Once Qian Renheng became a Titled Douluo, all three of these Spirit Bone skills would become immensely powerful!

"Wow—"

Qian Renxue blinked her large sparkling eyes as she watched her brother showing off his skills, her eyes filled with envy.

Pouting, she dejectedly kicked at the gravel by her feet. "They were both thousand-year Soul Beasts, and even Soul Beasts from the same lineage."

"Why couldn't my Golden Crow Soul Ring come with an External Soul Bone too?!"

Seeing her brother's cool black six wings and those three powerful Spirit Bone skills, she would be lying if she said she was not envious as his little sister.

After displaying all his skills, Qian Renheng swiftly withdrew the Black Raven Six Wings back into his body.

A wave of weakness instantly crashed over him. His vision went black, and he dropped onto the ground.

"Releasing Soul Skills continuously already consumes a great deal of focus, not to mention that I don't have much Soul Power to begin with."

Qian Renheng panted heavily, looking rather exhausted.

"You, honestly. If you don't have much Soul Power, don't push yourself. Look at how drained you are." Qian Daoliu spoke irritably.

He walked over to Qian Renheng, raised his right hand, and pressed it against his shoulder. Pure, attribute-less Soul Power flowed into Qian Renheng's depleted meridians like a gentle spring rain.

With the boundless Soul Power of an Ultimate Douluo replenishing him without restraint, Qian Renheng's exhausted Soul Power rapidly began to recover, making him feel as though his entire body was filled with strength.

"Next, your Great-Grandfather and I will take the two of you to hunt the third and fourth Soul Beasts."

Qian Daoliu withdrew his hand, his expression gradually turning solemn as his piercing gaze swept over the two exquisitely adorable grandchildren.

"Absorbing your next Soul Rings will be more arduous and more dangerous!" As he spoke, he held up four fingers. "Based on estimates, after your bodies were strengthened by absorbing your first Soul Rings, the limit your second Soul Rings can withstand should be around four thousand years!"

"But that is only an estimate. The uncertainties involved are impossible to predict. Absorbing four-thousand-year Soul Rings as your second Soul Rings means facing Soul Power far more violent than what you encountered when absorbing your first Soul Rings."

"The burden on your bodies during the absorption process, as well as the dangers you may encounter while absorbing the Soul Rings—even I am not confident about it!"

At this point, Qian Daoliu's tone softened slightly. "Whether you risk absorbing four-thousand-year second Soul Rings or choose the safer three-thousand-year second Soul Rings, you can decide for yourselves."

"Is that even a choice?!" A glint of madness and ambition flashed through Qian Renheng's eyes. "Even if there really is danger, don't we have Grandfather and Great-Grandfather here?!"

"With the power of Ultimate Douluo, it shouldn't be difficult to interrupt my Soul Ring absorption, remove the Soul Ring, and minimize the damage to us, right?!"

"I've been soaking in precious body-tempering medicinal baths since childhood, and I've consumed large amounts of highly purified Whale Rubber to strengthen my body!"

"After absorbing my first Soul Ring, my physical condition improved even further. A mere four-thousand-year Soul Ring? Heh, I can handle it!"

Qian Renheng was extremely confident. There was no fear in his voice of failing to absorb the Soul Ring, only desire for a four-thousand-year second Soul Ring.

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renheng in surprise, then nodded slightly. "Xiao Heng, Grandfather is very pleased that you have such courage. As long as you successfully absorb a four-thousand-year second Soul Ring—"

"—and thoroughly solidify your foundation, then once your Soul Power reaches level thirty, you can begin preparing to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

A ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring... If absorbing thousand-year Soul Rings for the first two rings turned the optimal Soul Ring configuration into a joke—

Then a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring would shatter that optimal configuration completely and utterly crush that sacred saying!

And if those theory masters outside learned that someone could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as their third Soul Ring, it was hard to imagine how crazy they would become!

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renheng's thoughts could be said to align perfectly. Even if Qian Daoliu had not brought it up, Qian Renheng would have.

Since he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, and since he possessed such heaven-defying backing and power, if he still obediently followed the usual yellow, yellow, purple, purple Soul Ring configuration—

Then what difference would there be between him and the mediocre masses?

He was destined to become the future Pope. In the entire Soul Master world, who had a more formidable background than him? In terms of power, who would dare bare their fangs at Spirit Hall?!

As for the abundance of cultivation resources, Spirit Hall was absolutely among the very best on the entire continent!

As for having to withstand the soul impact formed from the resentment left behind after a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast died when absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, what was he supposed to do about that?

Heh, what kind of bullshit problem was that?

Spirit Hall's treasury contained countless herbs capable of increasing a Soul Master's Mental Power and stabilizing the soul.

By the time they needed to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, those herbs alone would be enough to pile their Mental Power up!

"Grandfather, me too!"

Seeing that her brother had already made his decision, Qian Renxue's gaze became resolute. Unwilling to fall behind, she puffed out her chest.

"I only have one Martial Soul, while Brother has two. It's simply impossible for me to surpass him!"

"So at the very least, I can't fall too far behind him. My Soul Ring configuration must be the same as Brother's!"

"A four-thousand-year second Soul Ring... Xiao Xue has the courage and confidence to absorb it successfully too!"

A blazing fire of unyielding fighting spirit burned in Qian Renxue's eyes. Her brother had confidence, so did she!

Seeing that both siblings had made their decisions and had both chosen four-thousand-year second Soul Rings—

The smile on Qian Daoliu's face grew increasingly radiant. If they successfully absorbed four-thousand-year second Soul Rings—

Then their future third Soul Rings would both be ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. Yellow Soul Rings? They were not even worthy of appearing!

As for failing to absorb the Soul Rings?! Even if they failed, he was confident that he could remove the Soul Rings they could not withstand!

He could minimize the damage to their bodies. But if they succeeded... they would solidify their foundations and prepare for Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

"Ten-thousand-year third Soul Rings... It seems Liu'er has grand plans. If they succeed, I truly can't imagine how fast these two siblings will grow!"

Hearing this, Qian Wushuang stood nearby with his arms crossed and said nothing. He was a Remnant of the Old Era; matters of the new era should be left to the younger generation.

With thousand-year first Soul Rings setting the precedent, and four-thousand-year second Soul Rings now planned, there was no reason their third Soul Rings could not be ten thousand years!

After all, in the past, thousand-year Soul Rings had been absorbed as a Soul Master's third Soul Ring, while four-thousand-year Soul Rings had been absorbed as a Soul Master's fourth Soul Ring.

These two siblings had directly abandoned yellow Soul Rings and absorbed purple Soul Rings. As for ten-thousand-year third Soul Rings... at least their physical condition would be fully capable of reaching that standard!

In his era, such a thing had been unimaginable. Ten-thousand-year third Soul Rings? If someone wanted to die, they could just say so!

The reason his own Soul Rings had reached the level of eight black and one red was because he had undergone Angel's Seven Trials.

Anyone who underwent the Angel trials would receive increases in Soul Power and Soul Ring age.

Such insignificant Whale Rubber actually has this kind of effect? If it had been discovered in my era... Qian Wushuang mused inwardly.

Who could have imagined that Whale Rubber possessed such an effect? It had directly created two monsters among monsters!
