"I helped quite a few people along the way. Whenever I could lend a hand, I did."

Along the way, Xiao Changge had helped many people. Faced with countless choices, he had always chosen to help them whenever he could. He had finally gathered Xiao Yan's starting equipment.

While helping others, Xiao Changge had also cultivated bit by bit. With Electrolux's guidance, he had finally reached Level 10 and could obtain a Soul Ring.

He should originally have possessed Innate Full Soul Power at Level 30. Even Qian Renxue, the Angel God from ten thousand years ago, would have felt inferior to such talent. Qian Renxue possessed the bloodline of Qian Xunji, the direct heir of the Angel Family, while Bibi Dong, Douluo Continent's greatest female Titled Douluo prodigy and the Rakshasa God, had relied on herself to solve the problem of Twin Martial Souls absorbing Soul Rings.

She had even risen to become the Rakshasa God through her own strength alone. That alone proved how outstanding Bibi Dong's talent was, and the Qian Renxue she gave birth to also possessed the potential to become a god. Spirit Hall had possessed two god-level powerhouses back then. If the Asura God and Sea God Poseidon—one a God King, the other at the peak of First-Level God—had not forcibly given Tang San cheats, Tang San would have lost long ago.

Compared with people like Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Tang San, Xiao Changge's talent was even greater.

What he lacked, however, was sufficient luck and opportunity. In truth, he could have awakened his Martial Soul long ago, but he did not have enough money to hire a Soul Master to help him awaken it. After Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall, he never established a proper institution to help commoner Soul Masters awaken their Martial Souls.

As a result, commoners in the Douluo Three Kingdoms had no way to awaken Martial Souls at all, much less become Titled Douluo. Some people did not awaken their Martial Souls until they were eighteen.

An entire twelve years had been wasted. It was obvious just how inhumane the Douluo Three Kingdoms were. The Sun Moon Empire, on the other hand, allowed every ordinary child to awaken a Martial Soul. Even commoners and the poor could awaken Martial Souls.

The one who had helped Xiao Changge awaken his Martial Soul was a Soul Engineer from the Sun Moon Empire. The problem was that Xiao Changge still did not know that person's name.

That Soul Engineer from the Sun Moon Empire had been killed by Shrek's people before he could tell Xiao Changge his name.

That Soul Engineer uncle had been especially kind. He gave off a particularly sunny feeling, like a good man who enjoyed life and believed the world was full of light. Yet such a good man had died at Shrek's hands. It truly felt unjust.

The reason Shrek's people killed the Soul Engineer uncle who had shown Xiao Changge kindness was that they discovered Xiao Changge had awakened a Level 30 Innate Full Soul Power Vermilion Bird Martial Soul. It was a Divine Beast Martial Soul.

People of Douluo Continent did not understand the divine beast Vermilion Bird, but Innate Full Soul Power at Level 30 was enough to tell them it was a Divine Beast Martial Soul, a god-level Martial Soul.

Otherwise, how could he possibly have awakened Level 30 Innate Full Soul Power? Moreover, that Soul Engineer uncle had planned to take Xiao Changge to the Sun Moon Empire. How could Shrek possibly agree to that?

So they killed that uncle. Furthermore, because Xiao Changge had been so disobedient, and because Inner Court disciple Ma Xiaotao—the woman who had absorbed Xiao Changge's Soul Power—needed someone to help her due to her Evil Fire problem, they used Xiao Changge's Martial Soul to help Ma Xiaotao stabilize or overcome her Evil Fire, making her stronger.

Because of Xiao Changge's stubborn temperament, they understood that he would never choose to join Shrek, much less willingly submit to Shrek's brainwashing. So they chose to cripple Xiao Changge and make Ma Xiaotao stronger.

It could only be called utterly disgusting.

They also believed Xiao Changge was already crippled and could never grow stronger. Even if he spoke out, few would believe him. They were even willing to give him one hundred Gold Soul Coins to dismiss him, destroying someone's future merely to flaunt their hypocritical justice.

Shrek had to be destroyed. In Xiao Changge's heart, he would definitely take revenge.

"Shrek... honestly, it is a little like the Misty Cloud Sect. Just like when Xiao Yan faced the Misty Cloud Sect, Ma Xiaotao is like Nalan Yanran."

Xiao Changge said this.

Ma Xiaotao had absorbed Xiao Changge's Soul Power and the essence of his Martial Soul, crippling him. She had even mocked him. Afterward, Shrek gave him one hundred Gold Soul Coins and sent him away.

The relationship between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran was essentially one of enmity as well.

The hatred between them was different, however. Xiao Changge had not only been crippled, but his future and youth had also been destroyed. His benefactor had been murdered as well. Such hatred had to be repaid in blood, no matter what. Shrek's people had to repay this hatred with their blood and tragedy.

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran did not share such immense hatred. Nalan Yanran had simply decided on her own to break off the engagement. What happened then? She made the matter known to everyone, gave the Xiao Clan no respect at all, and publicly humiliated them.

Xiao Yan himself did not care much about the marriage. The problem was that Nalan Yanran should not have humiliated the Xiao Clan or insulted his father.

That was what led to the Three-Year Agreement. Later, because the brainless elders of the Misty Cloud Sect severely wounded Xiao Yan and caused enormous losses to the Xiao Clan, the Xiao Clan and the Misty Cloud Sect became locked in irreconcilable hatred.

"Changge, your Soul Power has already reached Level 10. You can go absorb a Soul Ring now, and that will let you raise your level further. I have looked into this world. When humans absorb Soul Beasts to form Soul Rings, they must consider what their Martial Souls, bodies, and spiritual power can endure.

Sea God Tang San of Shrek ten thousand years ago absorbed a ten-thousand-year spider-type Soul Beast when he was young, while he was only Level 40.

Your physical constitution is very strong. Ordinary people can only absorb a Soul Ring of around four hundred years for their first ring, but you can absorb one over a thousand years old at the very least. At present, I cannot determine whether absorbing one at your original Level 30 Innate Soul Power would have been the best timing. But now that your Soul Power Level has fallen, although your body has undergone training during this period, it is still not enough to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

To be honest, I really want you to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, but now is not the time."

Electrolux's words were truly earth-shattering. Without cheats, even protagonists would not dare casually absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as their first Soul Ring. Electrolux truly dared to think big.

"Then what should I do now? Should I directly absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

"With your current battle achievements, you can fight Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and even contend with some Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. But you still cannot kill a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. With my help, it would be different. I just do not know whether you dare to take a gamble."

At this moment, Electrolux's words clearly carried another meaning.
