After Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen had completely absorbed all six Soul Bones, Jialing assessed them and said, "Not bad. With your current foundation, even if you only obtain a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, you will be able to reach Rank 94 after advancing to Title Douluo. As for whether you can break through Rank 95, that will depend on the age of your ninth Soul Ring."
Tuoba Xi said firmly, "Your Holiness, once I return, I will gather the entire sect and hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. I will not disappoint your efforts in nurturing me."
Huyan Zhen also said, "I will definitely strive for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, then beat the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into a pile of shit during the Upper Three Sects competition."
Qian Xunyi shook his head and said, "Obtaining Soul Rings is too troublesome. Besides, after investing so much, getting only one Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring would be too wasteful."
Qian Xunyi gave Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi a Soul Pearl each, saying, "Absorb these. These Soul Pearls can form the Soul Rings best suited to you. How many years you gain will depend on your perseverance."
The two did not hesitate any longer and directly absorbed the Soul Pearls.
White Soul Rings appeared around the outermost edges of their existing Soul Rings, then gradually darkened. They changed from white to yellow, then purple, and finally black in one smooth progression.
The Soul Rings remained black for a long while before turning red. For Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi, this process did not last very long.
Dugu Bo, an elder of Spirit Hall, clicked his tongue when he saw this, feeling somewhat regretful. If only I hadn't absorbed that Jade-Scale Serpent Emperor back then. At least I would have had a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
