Obtaining the First Soul Ring

Feng Tianxiang looked puzzled at his words.

He didn't understand why Su Changqing was inquiring about Xue Qinghe's age.

"His Highness should be sixteen this year."

Upon hearing his answer, Su Changqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In his memory, according to the original plot, Qian Renxue was ten years older than Tang San. This meant he was currently the same age as Tang San, and the timeline was correct!

His biggest worry was that his timeline would be after Tang San's!

After all, he didn't have the system that all transmigrators possessed. If he was younger than Tang San, he basically wouldn't be able to snatch any opportunities!

"Thank you, Patriarch."

Feng Tianxiang found Su Changqing a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He suppressed his doubts and didn't press further.

"Alright, get some rest. Tell me which Soul Beast you want for your first Soul Ring the day after tomorrow."

As he watched Feng Tianxiang leave, Su Changqing's mind began to race, contemplating the matter of his first Soul Ring and how to get ahead of the hypocritical Tang San to seize his opportunities.

Su Changqing leaned against the headboard, recalling Mirai's characteristics.

Mirai was still in its basic form now. To evolve into Mirai, and then into its final form, it would need to continuously grow stronger. His first Soul Ring absolutely had to be from a Soul Beast with a powerful light attribute.

Wait, light!

Su Changqing suddenly realized something!

Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue, and her Martial Soul was also of the ultimate light attribute. No wonder this woman was so interested in him!

With this thought, Su Changqing immediately considered leaving Heaven Dou City.

After all, Qian Renxue couldn't exactly be considered a good person, and he needed to be wary of her.

Fortunately, this matter shouldn't be too difficult for him. The most pressing issue now was to properly think about his first Soul Ring.

After clearing his thoughts, various light-attribute Soul Beasts began to surface in his mind.

The next day.

Su Changqing, along with Feng Tianxiang, boarded a carriage bound for the Star Dou Great Forest early in the morning.

For this expedition, two Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses from the Feng family had come out, along with five Soul Sages.

Adding Feng Tianxiang himself, who was already level eighty-nine, the group was incredibly strong.

To mobilize so many powerful individuals for a mere hundred-year Soul Ring was certainly a lavish treatment!

"Changqing, have you found a Soul Beast you fancy?" Feng Tianxiang asked in a calm tone inside the carriage.

"Yes."

Su Changqing replied, "I thought of several, and finally settled on three: the Blazing Sun Heavenly Horse, the Radiant Giant Lizard, and the Flowing Light Illusion Butterfly."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianxiang's brow furrowed slightly.

Aside from the Flowing Light Illusion Butterfly, the other two were incredibly powerful Soul Beasts. Their combat power, even at four to five hundred years old, was enough to rival thousand-year beasts!

And while the Flowing Light Illusion Butterfly wasn't as strong, it was an extremely rare existence. Without venturing deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, encountering it would be impossible!

Feng Tianxiang's frown wasn't due to the difficulty of Su Changqing's request, but rather because he wondered if Su Changqing's rabbit Martial Soul could withstand the power of such formidable Soul Beasts.

"Changqing, although you have Innate Full Soul Power, your Martial Soul is still just a rabbit. You might not be able to withstand the power of the strong Soul Beasts you mentioned. To be safe, I suggest choosing a Flowing Light Rabbit around four hundred and twenty years old for your first Soul Ring, how about that?"

Hearing the other's response, Su Changqing felt an urge to slap him!

He was the embodiment of light, representing the sun, how could he possibly not withstand it?

How could a mere rabbit compare to the might of Mirai?

"Patriarch, please believe me. You must find one of the three Soul Beasts I mentioned, and preferably one with a lifespan of five hundred years."

Su Changqing's gaze was exceptionally firm, making Feng Tianxiang almost feel compelled to believe him!

Feng Tianxiang was afraid Su Changqing was being reckless due to his youth.

After all, Xue Qinghe had specifically requested that he be cultivated with great care. If he were to die absorbing a Soul Ring, it would be difficult to explain!

But upon careful reflection, why would Xue Qinghe be so interested in what he perceived as a weak Martial Soul?

Could it be that Su Changqing's Martial Soul was not as simple as it seemed?

After a moment of thought, Feng Tianxiang decided to take a gamble.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. We will do our best to ensure your safety."

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Su Changqing's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Patriarch!"

A long time later, the group arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Su Changqing stood in the center, surrounded and protected by a group of powerhouses.

After all, this is the Star Dou Great Forest; one can never be too careful!

As they ventured deeper, an hour later they finally discovered a Radiant Giant Lizard around five hundred years old!

"Patriarch, a discovery! It's a Radiant Giant Lizard, and it's injured!!" a Soul Sage exclaimed.

Feng Tianxiang nodded, "Excellent, bring it here!"

As soon as he spoke, the injured Radiant Giant Lizard was knocked unconscious by the Soul Sage and then placed before Su Changqing.

Su Changqing released his Martial Soul, intending to end its life with a single punch.

"Hm?"

"What's wrong, Changqing?"

Feng Tianxiang was curious when he stopped.

"Something is approaching, with a very strong light attribute!"

The moment Su Changqing finished speaking, Feng Tianxiang and the others also sensed it. However, what they sensed wasn't the power of light, but a Soul Beast!

"Clang—"

In just a few seconds, a clear phoenix cry rang out, and then a phoenix with golden wings appeared in everyone's sight!

"This is... a Rainbow Plume Phoenix over five hundred years old! An ultimate breed among phoenix subspecies!"

Feng Tianxiang became instantly excited.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a powerful and rare Soul Beast!

"It seems this Radiant Giant Lizard was its food."

Su Changqing looked at it and said calmly, "Patriarch, I've changed my mind. I want it to be my first Soul Ring!"

"Such a rare Soul Beast coming to us willingly is your good fortune!"

With that, Feng Tianxiang released his eight Soul Rings.

The Rainbow Plume Phoenix reacted quickly. Upon sensing Feng Tianxiang's strength, it immediately turned to flee.

Seeing this, Su Changqing didn't hesitate. He leaped up, transforming into a golden light and jumping several meters away.

"Changqing!!!"

Feng Tianxiang panicked instantly!

That was a Rainbow Plume Phoenix! Even a hundred-year cultivation could instantly kill a Soul Elder!

However, the next moment, all of them froze in place!

"Stop for me!!!"

Su Changqing roared, and the light power around him erupted to its extreme, descending upon the world like a child of light!

"Clang—"

The fleeing Rainbow Plume Phoenix suddenly froze. It felt its bloodline surging within its body, as if it were being suppressed by something.

A few seconds later, it plummeted to the ground!

Feng Tianxiang and the others witnessed this scene, their faces filled with astonishment!

"Bloodline suppression? This child's Martial Soul..."

Only now did Feng Tianxiang understand why Xue Qinghe was so interested in Su Changqing!

It could even suppress the light attribute of a Rainbow Plume Phoenix; one could imagine how heaven-defying the strength of his Martial Soul was!
