Your cheat isn't as powerful as mine

The facts were right before him, yet Yu Xiaogang simply could not accept them.

The theory he had upheld for so many years had been shattered so ruthlessly.

The first Soul Ring was supposedly limited to 423 years at most, yet here was a six-year-old child who had absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring.

Tang San was deeply shaken, his gaze shifting back and forth between Bai Ye and Yu Xiaogang.

His little head filled with question marks.

"Impossible? You saw it with your own eyes, yet you still say it's impossible? Stop lying to yourself." Bai Ye looked at Yu Xiaogang and smiled.

A six-year-old's smile should have been adorable, but in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, it only felt as though he had been slapped across the face again and again.

He was furious, but the facts were right in front of him. As Bai Ye had said, he might be able to deceive himself, but could he deceive everyone present?

Besides, he certainly could not deceive the disciple he regarded as a son.

Having figured that out, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly asked Bai Ye what his first soul skill was.

"Are you really a Master?" Bai Ye looked suspicious. "Even a child like me knows there's a major taboo among Soul Masters: you can't casually ask others about their soul skills. We're neither family nor friends, yet you're asking me that. Are you trying to do something improper to me?"

As soon as those words came out, Yu Xiaogang's face turned livid.

Before he could speak, Yuri and the others were already glaring coldly at Yu Xiaogang.

That token represented a lofty status, but Bai Ye, with his Millennium First Ring, would achieve even greater things in the future. They could still tell which mattered more.

"You!" Seeing everyone's reactions, Yu Xiaogang felt utterly miserable. I was only asking. Why are you treating me like this?

"To put it nicely, you're a Master. To put it bluntly, you're nothing more than a plagiarist," Bai Ye continued.

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion. He did not understand why Bai Ye would say such a thing.

"Bullshit!" Yu Xiaogang shouted after noticing Tang San's gaze, then immediately began explaining himself.

No one cared at all, though they did not wish to keep pressuring the Master either.

"Enough." Ronas spoke up. "Master, he's only a child. I understand how you feel, but you can't seriously argue with a child. Besides, you were indeed in the wrong here."

"We also want to know what this child's first soul skill is, but we can't just ask because he's young and knows little. Fortunately, he knows the rules. Otherwise, he might really have told you."

Yu Xiaogang's expression kept changing. Then he snorted and changed the subject, asking everyone to help find a hundred-year Soul Beast suitable for Tang San to absorb.

However, the moment he finished speaking, Tang San's voice rang out.

"Teacher, I don't want to absorb a hundred-year Soul Beast. I want a Millennium First Ring too." Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with determination.

"No! How could that be allowed?" Yu Xiaogang refused outright. He did not know why Bai Ye had successfully absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, but he knew Tang San could not.

"Why not? He can absorb one, so can I." Tang San wanted to save face. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Bai Ye surpass him with his very first Soul Ring.

"Do you want to die?"

"But how did he..."

Yu Xiaogang fell silent.

Because your cheat isn't as powerful as mine, Bai Ye thought.

"He is an exception." Yu Xiaogang glanced at Bai Ye before speaking to Tang San.

"Can't I be an exception too?" Tang San felt that he was exceptional as well. After all, he was a transmigrator with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eyes, Tang Sect hidden weapons, and more.

Yu Xiaogang was about to persuade him further when Yuri spoke up.

"Tang San, the reason Bai Ye can absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring is because his body is no weaker than that of a Soul Grandmaster above level thirty who has not absorbed a third Soul Ring. So..."

Yuri explained the reason. If possible, he naturally wanted Tang San to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as well.

"Hall Master Ronas, please help test him." Yuri looked toward Ronas.

"Alright." Ronas nodded. He was also happy to forge another good relationship.

However, the test results showed that Tang San could not absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"But I still want to try." Tang San was unwilling to accept it.

"No! I'm doing this for your own good!" Yu Xiaogang firmly refused.

"Is losing to me really that shameful?" Bai Ye looked at Tang San and said blandly, "You should know that even if you could absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, even if I gave you time to catch up, you still wouldn't even see my back."

Tang San froze. The scenes of Bai Ye brutally beating him twice surfaced uncontrollably in his mind. His entire body began trembling as his competitive spirit reached its peak.

He had to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

He had the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Why couldn't he absorb one?

Suddenly, a Thousand-Year Datura Snake appeared before everyone.

Everyone was instantly stunned, and so was the Datura Snake.

I was sleeping. Why are there so many people when I open my eyes?

Just saying, is it too late for me to leave now?

"Have you decided?" The Master immediately understood that this was Tang Hao's doing. As Tang San's teacher, he was extremely unwilling to let Tang San take such a risk, but Tang San's father had already made his stance clear. What else could he do?

At the same time, Bai Ye also realized this was Tang Hao's handiwork.

But if he remembered correctly, Tang San had nearly died when he absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider as his third Soul Ring. Tang San was only a level-ten Soul Warrior now; wanting a Millennium First Ring was simply impossible.

"Move!" Ronas was the first to recover, organizing everyone to hunt the Thousand-Year Datura Snake.

Bai Ye also summoned the Apocalypse Hammer and unleashed his first soul skill, Honor Blessing.

A halo appeared and instantly enveloped Ronas.

A one-hundred-percent increase to all attributes!

Bai Ye could actually have cast Honor Blessing on everyone, but he chose not to in order to hide his strength.

Besides, for this battle, buffing Ronas alone was enough.

Although Honor Blessing only lasted ten minutes, it consumed only around one percent of his Soul Power, an amount that could be completely ignored.

And he could simply cast it again before the effect ended.

"Why do I feel like my whole body is brimming with strength?"

"Is this the support effect of a Millennium First Ring?"

"Terrifying!"

Ronas was uncomfortable at first, but gradually, he began enjoying it completely. He had everyone else retreat and fought the Thousand-Year Datura Snake one-on-one.

Bai Ye deliberately put on a weakened appearance amid the crowd, and Yuri hurriedly picked him up.

Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, stared fixedly at Ronas. He could tell that Bai Ye's soul skill had an excellent support effect, but he did not know just how powerful it was.

He only understood that it seemed to boost strength and speed.

As for the extent of the increase, only Bai Ye and Ronas knew.

After all, Yu Xiaogang did not dare guess that it was one hundred percent.

Thus, Ronas put on a performance for nearly ten minutes before beating the Thousand-Year Datura Snake to the brink of death.

"Refreshing! It's been so long since I've fought this freely!" Ronas laughed loudly. The next moment, Honor Blessing's effect vanished, and he closed his eyes in lingering reluctance.

When he opened his eyes again and looked at the weakened Bai Ye, his eyes were filled with shock.

"Little San, go." Yu Xiaogang spoke, handing Tang San a treasured sword.

Tang San took it and immediately stepped forward to deliver the finishing blow.

Watching the purple Soul Ring slowly rise, Tang San was overwhelmed with excitement.

"I have a Millennium First Ring too!"

At that moment, Yuri spoke. "Are you insane? You actually let him absorb the Soul Ring of a beast-type Soul Beast!"

"I'm not insane." Yu Xiaogang said calmly. "Who says a plant martial soul must absorb Soul Rings from plant Soul Beasts? A plant martial soul can absorb Soul Rings from beast martial souls as well."

"How do you know?" Bai Ye asked weakly. "Have you ever seen anyone absorb one like that?"

"No." Yu Xiaogang answered smoothly, then realized something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.

"If you've never seen it, how can you be sure it works? You're treating Tang San as an experiment!" Yuri shouted, fury in his eyes. "Tang San, don't absorb it!"

"Teacher..." Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, only to find his expression stiff and without rebuttal. Clearly, Yu Xiaogang really had been treating him as a tool.

For a moment, he felt deeply bitter.

I treated you like a father, and you treated me like a fool.

You have earned a death sentence!
