In Front of These Two Little Monsters, I'm Practically Just an Ordinary Person!

Thus, there was only one end to forcibly absorbing a thousand-year soul ring: all the meridians would snap, and the body would explode in death!

Yet these two lively little fellows before him had actually boasted shamelessly that their first two soul rings were thousand-year soul rings. How was that possible?!

Looking at Qian Wuji's face, which seemed to have "I don't believe it, you're bluffing" written all over it...

Qian Renxue wasted no words. She was ready to give this old relic from the previous era a huge shock, and directly prove everything she had said with action!

The little girl immediately willed it, and the vast soul power inside her began to circulate.

"Buzz—"

Along with a crisp hum, ring after ring of purple soul rings radiating dazzling halos slowly rose from beneath her feet.

Purple!

Purple!

Two genuine thousand-year soul rings pulsed rhythmically and brazenly beneath Qian Renxue's feet.

Seeing this from the side, Qian Renheng smiled helplessly. If the old relic did not believe it, then they would give him a little shock.

"Buzz—"

The same scene played out once more. Two brilliant, dazzling thousand-year soul rings, even carrying a faintly eerie purple glow, likewise rose from beneath Qian Renheng's feet.

Qian Wuji stared fixedly at the thousand-year soul rings pulsing beneath their feet, and felt his breathing stop!

It was not an illusion. This was not an illusion. These were not hundred-year yellow soul rings. These were genuine purple thousand-year soul rings.

This scene that overturned common sense had appeared before him so easily, shattering the understanding he had always been proud of.

"You..." Qian Wuji's breathing grew rapid. He drew in a deep breath of cold air, forcibly suppressing the storm of shock churning in his heart.

His voice was dry as he asked, "How exactly did you do it?! This simply violates all common sense!"

"Thousand-year first and second soul rings? How did you successfully absorb them? Even after seeing the soul rings, I still almost can't believe it. Someone actually managed to do it?!"

Qian Wushuang, who had been watching from the side, walked over and said, "Little brother, you might not believe this if I say it."

He patted Qian Wuji on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The old era that belonged to us has already passed."

"In this new era, a heaven-defying substance has appeared that can greatly improve a soul master's physique!"

"A substance that can improve a soul master's physical condition?" Qian Wuji looked at his elder brother in astonishment.

"Big Brother, what kind of heavenly treasure is it? Why did I never hear of such a miraculous thing even after roaming the continent for many years while I was alive?!"

"Could it be a new treasure that was only just unearthed in this era?!"

Hearing this, Qian Wushuang shook his head and explained with a smile, "Calling it newly discovered isn't entirely right."

"This thing has existed on this continent for thousands upon thousands of years. It's just that in the past, no soul master ever truly unearthed the real effect hidden beneath its surface."

"Big Brother, stop keeping me in suspense. What exactly is it? Say it!" Qian Wuji pressed anxiously.

"Whale Glue!" Qian Wushuang spat out two words.

"Whale Glue?!" Hearing those two words, Qian Wuji first froze, then his eyes widened like bronze bells, his expression becoming extremely strange.

How could he possibly not know what Whale Glue was?

But could that stuff really improve a soul master's physical condition, thereby greatly increasing the age limit of soul rings they could absorb?

Clearly, he did not quite believe it.

"Big Brother, you're not joking, are you? Isn't that stuff specifically used in places of pleasure, a shameful, low-class thing for arousal and entertainment?!"

Qian Wuji said with a face full of absurdity, "And if I remember correctly, if a soul master takes that stuff over the long term..."

"Not only will it affect their cultivation, it will also severely damage their foundation!"

"And now you're telling me that this thing, which is no different from poison to a soul master, can improve a soul master's physical condition and then raise the age limit for absorbing soul rings? Are you messing with me?!"

Qian Wuji looked as if he had seen a ghost. Although he had never used the stuff, he knew the harm it caused.

Seeing his father's worldview shatter, Qian Wushuang was delighted inside, though his face remained calm and composed.

"That's right. It's exactly that thing!"

Thinking back to a few days ago, when he had just been resurrected and first heard about this matter, he too had worn a look of disbelief.

"In the past, no one ever imagined that after taking this stuff, it could improve... mm, that one's physical condition could also become stronger."

"In reality, as long as Whale Glue undergoes high-temperature processing and is highly purified..."

"Once the impurities and toxicity inside it are removed, it will undergo a complete transformation and become a supreme treasure of great benefit to a soul master's body!"

As Qian Wushuang spoke, his extremely proud gaze fell on Qian Renheng, and he sighed with endless emotion. "No one had ever discovered this thing's true effect."

"That our Spirit Hall could be the first to discover it was, speaking of which, because this kid, Renheng, was messing around in the Library Hall and happened upon it by chance."

"After research and experiments from many sides in our Spirit Hall, we have confirmed that once highly purified, it causes no harm whatsoever to soul masters. It has now been officially put into use, and Renheng and Xiao Xue's thousand-year first and second soul rings are the best proof!"

"Hiss—"

After listening, Qian Wuji felt his head swell. He looked at Qian Renheng, his eyes filled with shock.

"This... this kid really has brought me far too many shocks that ordinary people can't understand."

"Not only did he possess a god-tier martial soul ability that could reverse yin and yang and revive the dead, he had also stumbled upon a treasure like this that could raise the age limit of soul rings a soul master could absorb!"

Qian Wuji murmured to himself. Right now, he was like an old man who knew nothing, completely out of touch with the times.

People really had to admit when they were getting old. Back in their day, how could they have had conditions like these?

"By improving their constitution, they could absorb thousand-year soul rings at the first and second soul ring stages."

"And if we keep extrapolating like that..."

Qian Wuji's mind raced. Then he abruptly raised his head and looked at his elder brother with suspicion written all over his face, asking tentatively, "Brother, since Xiao Heng and Xiao Xue have such monstrous foundations..."

"Does that mean that when their soul power reaches rank thirty or forty, they'll be able to absorb ten-thousand-year soul rings?!"

"Correct. Your deduction is entirely right, but, little brother, why not be a little bolder?"

"Xiao Heng and Xiao Xue's first soul rings were eleven hundred years old, and their second soul rings were four thousand years old."

"Their third soul rings actually already meet the conditions for absorbing ten-thousand-year soul rings," Qian Wushuang said, giving him a definite answer.

When Qian Wuji heard that, he looked at the two little fellows with an indescribable envy.

If he had been born in this era, perhaps he could have relied on his own strength to break through that shackle and become the first person in ten thousand years to surpass rank ninety-nine!
