Tang San was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Su Ge in disbelief, as if he had never expected his attitude to change so quickly—or become so forceful!
"I know you respect your teacher, but if you want others to respect you as well, you shouldn't make them shut up. You should make them genuinely convinced."
"But do you expect someone who didn't even know about soul shock and still talks about the maximum absorption limit for soul rings to become my teacher?"
Su Ge could not help but laugh as he said this.
"Setting aside that specific number of years for now, how exactly did our Grandmaster verify this theory? Let's just discuss the theory itself."

Tang San looked at Su Ge, then recalled his terrifying purple-purple-black-black soul ring configuration from earlier, along with the soul shock of a ten-thousand-year soul ring. His teacher truly had never explained any of that...

"What about you? Who is willing to leave with me?"
"I'll go with you."
