The anger he had been bottling up for a month erupted at that moment.
Tang San could not do anything to Xiao Wu or Qingling, but that did not mean just any stray cat or dog could bully him.
Especially someone like Wang Sheng.
Was he even worthy of speaking to him?
"You..." Wang Sheng pointed at Tang San with one finger, yet could not think of a word to describe him.
"You what? Wang Sheng, I've put up with you for a long time. You'd better watch yourself when you see me from now on. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from beating someone up."
Wang Sheng immediately shut up. He was no match for Tang San, and if he kept talking, he might get severely beaten.
Still, that did not stop him from cursing inwardly.
Tang San was clearly the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
He did not dare lay a hand on Sister Xiao Wu or Sister Qingling, so he could only bully those weaker than himself.
Xiao Wu frowned. "Tang San, you only know how to vent your anger on others. You're disgusting."
"Let's go."
With that, Xiao Wu took Chen Qingling's hand and strode out of the Dormitory, with Wang Sheng following closely behind.
He had no choice. He was afraid Tang San would come after him later.
Before long, they arrived at the venue for the annual Soul Master Duel.
At a glance, all they could see were the heads of spectators and participating students. The place was packed.
Fortunately, thanks to Chen Qingling's aura, they did not need to squeeze through the crowd and easily made it to the front.
At that moment, two senior students were displaying their skills on the Soul Master Duel stage.
The two sides fought with style, neither able to gain the upper hand.
The students below cheered for them, their faces full of smiles.
Only Chen Qingling could not feel happy at all, because the Soul Rings of the two senior students on the stage were slightly better than hers.
Her First Soul Ring was only three hundred years old, while theirs were either several decades older or a full hundred years older.
Xiao Wu noticed Chen Qingling's low spirits and felt bad as well.
"Sister Qingling, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
"Nothing is bothering me. I'm just troubled by how low the age of my First Soul Ring is. It would be nice if it were just a little higher."
"Unfortunately, that's impossible."
Chen Qingling regretted being so casual when she obtained her First Soul Ring.
Ding! Detected that cultivation target Chen Qingling is feeling low due to the age of her First Soul Ring being too low! Would you like to spend 1,000 Points to exchange for a Low-Level Soul Ring Enhancement Pill? Low-Level Soul Ring Enhancement Pill: Can increase a Soul Ring's age by five hundred years!
"Exchange it."
As long as his daughter could be happy, Chen Shenge felt anything was worth exchanging for.
Not to mention that this could increase her Soul Ring's age, which would also help improve her strength.
Just after he sent it to his daughter, Chen Qingling noticed something in her pocket, and a smile appeared on her face.
Hehehe!
Father really had not forgotten about her!
Her Father was the greatest person in the whole world. There was nothing he could not do!
With that thought, Chen Qingling took the pill out of her pocket.
"Sister Qingling, what kind of pill is that in your hand?"
"This... I don't know either." Chen Qingling herself did not know what the pill in her hand did.
Even though she did not know its effects, that did not stop Chen Qingling from swallowing it whole.
Father had given it to her, so there definitely could not be any problem with it.
In an instant, the pill turned into surging soul power that flowed through Chen Qingling and entered her First Soul Ring, raising it from three hundred years to eight hundred years.
Chen Qingling seemed to sense something, and a dark yellow Soul Ring swirled around her body.
Her eyes widened in shock. "My..."
"The age of my First Soul Ring increased! And by so much! It increased by a full five hundred years!"
Not only had her Soul Ring's age increased, but Qingling's Soul Power Level had also advanced another step, rising by one level!
The more Chen Qingling learned about Soul Masters, the more she understood that a Soul Ring's age was fixed and absolutely could not be changed.
Yet the truth before her left her no choice but to believe it.
The age of her First Soul Ring had truly increased!
Xiao Wu's pupils dilated, and her mouth hung slightly open.
As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she understood better than humans that the age of a Soul Ring was set in stone. Killing a Soul Beast of however many years would yield a Soul Ring of that same age.
A Soul Ring's age absolutely could not be increased, yet Chen Qingling's Soul Ring had broken convention and truly increased in age!
By a full five hundred years!
It might have only increased by five hundred years, but that was enough to grant her more soul power. More importantly, her First Soul Skill would become stronger as well.
The cause of this change was obvious. It was inseparable from the pill Chen Qingling had swallowed.
Wang Sheng was completely dumbfounded.
Tang San, meanwhile, had practically gone mad. What had he just seen?
A Soul Ring's age had increased!
How... how was that possible?!
This completely violated the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul!
"Sister Qingling, where did you get that pill? What does it do?"
"Uh... can I say that I only just found out too?"
"What?!"
Xiao Wu was utterly bewildered.
Sister Qingling had only just found out too? Then how had she suddenly taken it out?
"Xiao Wu, I know you want to ask where the pill came from. All I can say is that Father did it."
"Whatever I lack, he can send it to me. This time, I was envious that other people's First Soul Rings were older than mine, so Father sent me a pill that could increase a Soul Ring's age."
"What?!"
Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
Xiao Wu gave Chen Qingling a thumbs-up. "Sister Qingling, your Father is amazing."
"He can even produce something this unbelievable."
If word got out, who knew how many people would fight tooth and nail for a single pill.
Five hundred years was not much, but it was enough. It was better than nothing!
Wang Sheng smacked his lips. "Sister Qingling, I really envy you. I wish I had a Father as amazing as yours."
Wang Sheng was not the only one who was envious. Tang San envied Chen Qingling as well, envying her for having such a good Father.
Then he thought of his own father.
He was nothing more than a hopeless drunkard, unable to help him in the slightest.
Compared side by side, Tang San's mood immediately worsened.
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
Tang Hao: 666, what a great filial son I have!
The commotion caused by Chen Qingling's group was not small, but the people around them only glanced over a few times before losing interest.
After all, they had never seen Chen Qingling's original Soul Ring, so they naturally had no idea that in just that brief moment—
Chen Qingling's Soul Ring had increased in age by five hundred years!
If word spread, countless people would likely fight tooth and nail for a single pill.
Hearing Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng praise her Father made Chen Qingling happy as well.
"Hehehe, once the Soul Master Duel is over, I'll have to prepare for my Second Soul Ring."
Wang Sheng was extremely envious. He thought of how he had cultivated so hard for so many years, yet he still could not compare to Chen Qingling, who had cultivated for only a month.
The sense of disparity was far too great.
The talent of Innate Full Soul Power really was incredible.
What he did not know was that Innate Full Soul Power was merely the limit of the Soul Power Measuring Orb, not the limit of Chen Qingling's talent.
Her talent was no weaker than Qian Renxue's Innate Level Twenty, perhaps even greater.
