Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring

Skysharp Golden Eagles were Soul Beasts of an exceptionally noble bloodline, rarely seen nowadays. With dual light-and-fire attributes, combined with their innate sharpness, they were dream Soul Beasts coveted by many weapon Martial Soul Masters who used blades and swords!

But these Soul Beasts were exceedingly troublesome. Their usual diet consisted of fiercely powerful Soul Beasts like Man Faced Demon Spiders. Combined with the terrifying speed granted by their wings, hunting one was only slightly less difficult than hunting a top-tier Soul Beast such as a Titan Giant Ape.

"What a beautiful golden eagle! Only a Soul Beast like this is worthy of becoming my fourth Soul Ring!"

Su Sanjia licked his lips. Golden light flickered at his fingertips as Soul Power began to gather. At the same time, his third Soul Ring lit up, and eight Su Sanjias gradually surrounded the Skysharp Golden Eagle.

Golden eagles were proud. In its eyes, a human brat with only three Soul Rings actually dared to attack it first! This was simply unforgivable! Its dignity had been challenged, and in its rage, it could only dive down. It moved so fast that it left behind nothing but an afterimage. Relying on Observation Haki, Su Sanjia barely caught the golden eagle's flight path. The next moment, eight beams shot out, forming a dense net between heaven and earth. The golden eagle had nowhere to dodge!

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out. Three Laser Beams struck the golden eagle's body, but a ripple passed over its feathers. A metallic gleam spread from its head to its tail. Faced with Su Sanjia's attack, one that could instantly kill a thousand-year Soul Beast, the golden eagle's body merely swayed slightly. Its wings were somewhat scorched, and that was all!

"As expected of the sky's overlord, said to have no weaknesses!"

Su Sanjia's pupils contracted slightly. The golden eagle had now shifted its target from the Man Faced Demon Spider to him. It let out a shriek in the sky, its broad wings like two guillotine blades. Its dive gave it immense momentum, and its wings glinted coldly as it prepared to cleave Su Sanjia in two!

"Here it comes! The Skysharp Golden Eagle's innate ability—Infinite Sharpening!"

Su Sanjia faced a great enemy. In his current state, he could not possibly defeat this Skysharp Golden Eagle. Yet he was not panicked in the slightest. He was not alone. Zhao Wuji and the others were rushing over at full speed. With the power of Oscar's third Soul Skill, they were probably almost here. All he needed to do now was hold this Soul Beast back!

"Armament: Hardening! Iron Body!"

With a low shout, Su Sanjia's entire upper body seemed to turn into an iron man forged from black steel! Empowered by techniques from another world, his flesh gained the hardness of steel! His hands, covered in Armament Haki, thrust forward as he actually intended to withstand the Skysharp Golden Eagle's attack head-on!

However, Su Sanjia had still underestimated it...

The moment they collided, Su Sanjia was sent flying without the slightest ability to resist! His body shot straight toward an enormous ancient tree. Just before impact, Su Sanjia's body turned into light, avoiding a second injury.

"What a terrifying Soul Beast!"

A trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth, but Su Sanjia was delighted.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Star Luo Chessboard!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Heaven and Earth as the Board!"

A powerful wave of Soul Power erupted from the forest nearby. Two beams rapidly spread outward until they covered an area a thousand meters wide! Lines crisscrossed, and heaven and earth became a prison. The Skysharp Golden Eagle let out a terrified cry. The confinement of heaven and earth made a flying Soul Beast like it particularly uneasy. It instinctively tried to flee—what? Pride? Could that be eaten?

But it was already too late!

A Skysharp Golden Eagle that had only just entered the ten-thousand-year level trying to break free from the full-force fifth and sixth Soul Skills of Lu Xingbin, a veteran Soul Emperor, was nothing but a fool's dream!

"Fifth Soul Skill, Skyward Throw!"

A thick Dragon-Patterned Staff flew toward the Skysharp Golden Eagle with the roar of dragons and tigers, smashing heavily into one of its wings. The Skysharp Golden Eagle lost its balance and nearly crashed to the ground.

"Third Soul Skill, Gravity Enhancement! Fifth Soul Skill, Gravity Compression! Sixth Soul Skill, Great Vajra Roar!"

The three Soul Skills struck at once, leaving the Skysharp Golden Eagle with no possibility of resistance! Its enormous, beautiful body crashed onto the ground, its gorgeous feathers stained with dust. It could not help letting out a mournful cry.

"You finally made it! That was perfect timing, teachers!"

Su Sanjia let out a breath of relief and turned to see Zhao Wuji's group emerge from the dense forest.

"You little brat, how did you end up fighting such a vicious Soul Beast? Where's Tang San?"

Zhao Wuji was in terrible condition. He had only just recovered somewhat before using three Soul Skills in succession, and his face was now pale as paper.

"He's over there. That kid got himself an opportunity too. He's hiding over there, absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring!"

"A Man Faced Demon Spider? That Soul Beast may be vicious, but its Soul Ring is excellent too. It'll be a fine enhancement for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass!"

With the two students safe, Zhao Wuji finally relaxed. Xiao Wu had already been taken away. If anything happened to Su Sanjia and Tang San as well, he truly would have no face left to return and see Flender!

"You little brat, you've got good fortune. Skysharp Golden Eagles are incredibly rare! Go on. Leave the guarding to us!"

Zhao Wuji naturally understood the meaning in Su Sanjia's eyes. Su Sanjia did not stand on ceremony. After cupping his hands toward the three of them, he eagerly walked over to the Skysharp Golden Eagle.

The proud golden eagle had been reduced to lying prostrate on the ground, forced to raise its head and look upon a human's face. The fury in its heart had accumulated to an indescribable limit!

"What can you do, even if you're unwilling? Overlord of the skies, become part of my strength!"

Su Sanjia had considered the Skysharp Golden Eagle before. There was a great chance that its Soul Ring would grant him a powerful single-target offensive Soul Skill, and that was exactly what Su Sanjia currently lacked.

"Then, Gana!"

His finger became like a spear, plunging viciously into the Skysharp Golden Eagle's eye. The Shrek group witnessing this all sucked in cold breaths. Zhao Wuji and the other two were fine, having seen much of the world, but Shrek students such as Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong were different.

A large amount of Soul Power dissipated from the Skysharp Golden Eagle's corpse, gradually forming a pitch-black Soul Ring above it.

It was impossible not to be excited. Su Sanjia swiftly sat cross-legged, drawing it in with his Soul Power. The Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring settled around his body, and an unprecedentedly domineering force surged madly into him. Su Sanjia circulated his Soul Power and began frantically absorbing this astonishing Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"His second Soul Ring was a thousand-year one, and his fourth is a ten-thousand-year one. I've lived all these years, and I've never heard of anyone with such a terrifying Soul Ring configuration!"

Zhao Wuji's face was pale, but he looked immensely proud.

"Indeed. A Skysharp Golden Eagle, such a rare Soul Beast! Even if it only had a cultivation of ten thousand years, I'd be willing to absorb it as my seventh Soul Ring!"

Li Yusong's face was filled with envy. He only had one Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, a sixth Soul Ring that had only just surpassed ten thousand years. But that was a Skysharp Golden Eagle! It ranked among the top five Soul Rings most desired by weapon Martial Soul Masters.

"A ten-thousand-year fourth ring... can Su Sanjia really do it?"

Ning Rongrong swallowed, her heart roiling with towering waves. Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes shone with a strange light as she seemed to be considering something. Oscar stepped forward at the right moment and answered with complete confidence.

"If it were someone else, I really wouldn't be sure. But this is Brother Sanjia! Since he dares to absorb it, he'll definitely succeed!"

"Damn it! He already has a fourth Soul Ring, and it's even ten thousand years old! He's only two years older than me, yet I'm still just a Soul Grandmaster!"

Ma Hongjun spoke with envy all over his face. Little did he know that every word became a blade stabbing into Dai Mubai's heart. Dai Mubai had suffered the greatest blow. At fifteen years old, being a level thirty-seven Soul Elder was already quite good, but Su Sanjia was a fourteen-year-old four-ring Soul Ancestor, with a Soul Ring configuration beyond all reason...

If I could be like Su Sanjia too, then Dai Weisi wouldn't be so frightening, would he?

Dai Mubai was proud and arrogant, but he was not stupid. He knew full well how great the gap between himself and Dai Weisi was. Age? No one in the Star Luo Empire had ever valued such things! With the current strength of himself and Zhu Zhuqing, encountering Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun would leave them with absolutely no chance of survival. Therefore, he could only consider external aid.

For example, a group of extraordinarily talented companions who would surely become Title Douluo in the future!
