Eighty-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, Rank 97 Super Douluo!

As Ye Cangming crushed the third God-Given Spirit Ring, dazzling light enveloped him. The Spirit Ring's color flashed directly from its initial white to the red of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

The Spirit Ring's age began soaring from one hundred thousand years—three hundred thousand, four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, six hundred thousand—yet this was still far from Ye Cangming's limit!

Seven-Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring... Eighty-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. In the end, the age of his fifth Spirit Ring settled at eighty hundred thousand years, failing to break past that limit and reach ninety hundred thousand years.

"Gasp..." Golden Crocodile Douluo stared at the fifth Spirit Ring beneath Ye Cangming's feet and felt the terrifying energy it radiated. He immediately sucked in a sharp breath.

"Eighty hundred thousand years... This is a Spirit Ring that has reached eighty hundred thousand years! I never expected Xiao Ye's limit to reach such an unimaginable eighty hundred thousand years!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke in shock. Ever since arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Ye had never stopped astonishing them.

As the God-Given Spirit Ring completely fused with his body, the surging Soul Power around Ye Cangming gradually calmed.

His already terrifying aura began rising steadily, until his Soul Power rank finally settled at Rank 97 Super Douluo.

"Rank 97 Super Douluo! Just as expected, just as expected! After absorbing the third God-Given Spirit Ring, Xiao Ye's Soul Power truly broke through to the realm of Rank 97 Super Douluo!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help sighing. "Xiao Ye's Soul Power rank has already caught up to the two of you!"

"He is only one rank away from this old man's Rank 98 Super Douluo! These God-Given Spirit Rings truly are terrifying!"

For ordinary Soul Masters with a single Martial Soul, every rank gained after reaching Super Douluo required an enormous accumulation of Soul Power. Yet that alone was not enough; they also needed an understanding of their own Martial Soul!

As for what they needed to comprehend, that depended on the individual. Every Martial Soul required a different insight, and even the same Martial Soul could demand vastly different understandings!

But Ye Cangming was different. With Twin Wuhun, he could directly raise the rank of his Second Martial Soul by absorbing high-age Spirit Rings in the most overbearing and primal manner.

The bottleneck of a Super Douluo? The massive accumulation of Soul Power and some particular insight? To Ye Cangming, they were practically nonexistent.

"Second Brother! Xiao Ye has absorbed five Spirit Rings, and his Soul Power rank has already reached Rank 97 Super Douluo."

"If he fills all four remaining Spirit Ring slots, and every one of them is a Spirit Ring above one hundred thousand years, wouldn't his Soul Power directly charge toward Rank 99?!" Cyan Luan Douluo said.

"It is very possible!" Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly and said with a smile, "His Second Martial Soul has already reached Rank 97 Super Douluo after absorbing five Spirit Rings. If he can fill the remaining four slots, Xiao Ye may truly break through to Rank 99 Peerless Douluo in one stroke!"

Although the difficulty of breaking through from Rank 98 Super Douluo to Rank 99 Peerless Douluo was unimaginable, perhaps Xiao Ye could do it. After all, he still had four Spirit Rings left to fill.

Ye Cangming slowly opened his eyes. Golden and black light flashed through their depths. "Rank 97 Super Douluo!"

He sighed with emotion. "Back when I first returned to Spirit Hall from the Heaven Dou Empire, I was only a Rank 78 high-level Soul Saint. How long has it even been? And I have already stepped into the realm of Rank 97 Super Douluo?!"

"Moreover, my Second Martial Soul, the Dark Holy Dragon, still has four empty Spirit Ring slots. As long as I fill those four slots, I can definitely directly charge toward Rank 99 Peerless Douluo!"

It had to be said that arranging Qian Renxue's fake death back then had absolutely been a wise choice. Otherwise, he would never have attained his current realm!

Grandfather Qian Daoliu had left Spirit City to slaughter freely, while he was responsible for harvesting Plot Points and converting them into cultivation.

Ye Cangming slowly rose to his feet, then retracted his aura and smiled at Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others. "Grandfathers, I have successfully broken through to Rank 97!"

"Thank you for your help, Grandfathers. Without your full support, I would not have been able to complete the God Trial so smoothly and obtain the reward of three God-Given Spirit Rings!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand with a smile. "We are family, Xiao Ye. Why be so polite?"

"Now that your God Trial is complete, do you have any other plans? Or will your next God Trial require our assistance as well? If there is nothing else, let us return to Spirit City."

Ye Cangming nodded slightly. "Grandfathers, the next part of the God Trial must be completed by me alone. I cannot borrow anyone else's strength. Let us return to Spirit City."

After saying that, Ye Cangming abruptly unleashed his Bright Holy Dragon Spirit. A dragon's roar resounded through heaven and earth as he leaped up and landed atop its head.

"Grandfathers, shall we go?"

"Let's go!" Golden Crocodile Douluo, Cyan Luan Douluo, and Xionglishi Douluo exchanged glances. Their figures flashed as they landed behind him.

The Bright Holy Dragon let out a resounding roar and transformed into a streak of golden light, carrying the four of them through the night sky toward Spirit City.

Not long after the four of them departed, a disturbance arose in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, in its most central and mysterious region.

A pair of enormous dragon eyes suddenly opened, gazing in the direction the four had left. "They have gone? He actually possesses God-Given Spirit Rings. It seems he is the heir of some god from the God Realm. This is becoming more and more interesting, but none of it has anything to do with me."

Having already hunted the Titan Giant Ape and Titan Blue Python, the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Ye Cangming and his group began returning to Spirit City.

As for Qian Daoliu, his revenge was far from over. Those who deserved to die were still alive!

After learning from Dugu Bo where Tang San's Tang Sect was hidden, Qian Daoliu transformed into a streak of golden light and flew straight for the Star Luo Empire.

With the speed of a Peerless Douluo, combined with his god-level Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, he soon arrived above the city where the Tang Sect was concealed.

"So this is the place?!"

The night wind howled, whipping Qian Daoliu's long hair about. He looked down upon the city below, a cruel smile curling across his lips.

"They hid quite well! If Dugu Bo had not told this old man about this place, finding them would truly have taken some effort!"

The Tang Sect had originally been established within Heaven Dou City. When they withdrew from Heaven Dou City, they had left with almost nothing and departed in great haste! After all, what Tang San had done was simply...

To avoid being dragged into the disaster, Tang San did not wish to see the Tang Sect he had founded destroyed by his own hands, so he ordered them to leave Heaven Dou City as quickly as possible.

After leaving Heaven Dou City, they came to the Star Luo Empire and settled in the city before them, laying down roots and rebuilding the Tang Sect here.
