Tang San Questions Gangzi: Didn't You Say the Limit for the First Soul Ring Was 423 Years?

Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall!

The current crown prince, Xue Qinghe, removed her usual disguise and became a young, golden-haired beauty.

Even at only twelve years old, her stunning looks already marked her as a budding beauty.

Having spent years undercover, posing as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she could only remove her disguise and relax a little when she was at Spirit Hall.

Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo stood behind Qian Renxue like her left and right guardians.

"Bishop Salas, the Whale Rubber you recently provided can help Soul Masters increase their Soul Power. This is extremely important. Well done. My physique has improved considerably as well!" Qian Renxue said to Salas, the Platinum Bishop before her.

"Young Mistress, this is what I should do!" Salas lowered his head respectfully.

"By the way, I heard that this method was contributed by a child named Luo Fan from that remote place, Notting City?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Yes, Young Mistress. I have already rewarded both Su Yuntao, the Soul Master from the Spirit Hall Branch, and that child with one thousand Gold Soul Coins each!" Salas nodded.

"For such a contribution, wouldn't giving that child only one thousand Gold Soul Coins be a little too little?"

Though Qian Renxue was only twelve years old, the slight furrow of her delicate brows still made Salas feel tremendous pressure.

"Young Mistress, he is only a child from a remote rural area. With one thousand Gold Soul Coins, no one would risk offending Spirit Hall!"

"But if we gave him more, someone might take desperate risks!"

"At that point, the so-called reward would only harm that child!"

"Besides, I also gave that child the qualification to come here for further study!" Salas replied.

"Mm, you have considered it quite thoroughly."

After all, she was only a twelve-year-old girl. Hearing Salas's reasoning, Qian Renxue nodded.

Rustle, rustle!

Just as Qian Renxue and Salas were chatting, the sound of flapping wings suddenly approached from afar.

A low-level bird-type soul beast flew over.

This was a low-level soul beast raised by Spirit Hall to transmit information over long distances!

Salas raised his hand, and the bird-type soul beast landed on his arm. He then took a piece of intelligence from the bamboo tube tied to its leg!

As he read the information recorded on it, surprise appeared on Salas's face.

"Young Mistress!" Salas then looked toward Qian Renxue.

"Is there some important intelligence?" Qian Renxue asked casually.

"Young Mistress, that child named Luo Fan found Su Yuntao and had him help hunt his first soul ring!" Salas answered.

"Mm, I remember that although the child possesses a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, he has Innate Full Soul Power, correct?" Qian Renxue nodded slightly.

It was perfectly normal for someone with Innate Full Soul Power to hunt their first soul ring. What was worth specifically reporting to her about that?

"Young Mistress, it says here that the soul ring Su Yuntao helped him hunt came from a Twin-Bloom Lotus. It was a thousand-year soul beast!" Salas continued.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's pretty face did not change. "You mean that Luo Fan's first soul ring was a thousand-year one? And he succeeded?"

Salas nodded. "Yes, Young Mistress. The first soul ring Luo Fan successfully absorbed was a thousand-year soul ring!"

Qian Renxue's expression grew much more serious.

Even she had only been able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring for her third soul ring!

Yet this Luo Fan had successfully absorbed a thousand-year soul ring as his very first one?

How had he done it?

Could a physique enhanced solely through Whale Rubber really reach such a level?

Likewise, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo exchanged glances, astonishment written across their faces.

"What a pity. His martial soul is only a useless one like Blue Silver Grass!"

"How about this: if he truly comes to Heaven Dou City to conduct theoretical research, report it to me again!"

"Also..."

After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue shook her head somewhat disappointedly.

But after pausing slightly, she continued, "Have the Spirit Hall Branch in Notting City pay closer attention to him. If he can obtain his second soul ring before graduating from Notting Academy, then he can be cultivated as a talented Soul Master!"

Qian Renxue's thoughts were simple. When it came to martial soul research, Luo Fan was a talent!

But if Luo Fan did not want to pursue theoretical research and instead wished to become a powerful Soul Master, then given that his first soul ring was a thousand-year one, he would be worth cultivating as long as he could rise above level twenty within six years!

After all, the greatest characteristic of a useless martial soul was that Soul Power increased extremely slowly.

Many people could not break through level thirty in their entire lives, or even level twenty!

Leaving aside the discussions in Heaven Dou City about Luo Fan!

Meanwhile, in Notting City, after Tang San challenged Luo Fan to a duel and revealed his martial soul, many passersby within the academy were drawn over.

Were they about to fight?

Seeing so many people watching, and even approaching, Yu Xiaogang was rather pleased.

Let them all see that his theoretical knowledge was no empty castle in the air. After taking him as his master, Tang San's strength would definitely make them look at him in a new light!

Sure enough, as Yu Xiaogang watched the students gathering around them, along with even two teachers, he soon saw the shock in their eyes.

Yu Xiaogang secretly rejoiced. Well? Blinded by it, weren't you?

This was the disciple of Yu Xiaogang!

"A purple soul ring? His first soul ring has already reached the thousand-year level?"

"H-How is that possible?"

"My first soul ring is only a white, ten-year soul ring, while his is already purple and thousand-year? Why is the gap between people sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs?"

Yu Xiaogang then heard the shocked discussions from the surrounding crowd.

What purple thousand-year soul ring?

Yu Xiaogang froze slightly upon hearing that.

Wasn't Tang San's soul ring yellow, at the hundred-year level?

Yu Xiaogang swiftly turned his head. Then, as if drawn by a magnet, his gaze locked onto the soul ring appearing over Luo Fan's Blue Silver Grass, and he could not look away no matter what!

A purple, thousand-year first soul ring!?

T-That was absolutely impossible!

Tang San raised his hand, displaying the yellow, hundred-year soul ring over his own Blue Silver Grass. The smug expression on his face froze.

Then he stared at Luo Fan in disbelief!

The purple, thousand-year soul ring nearly blinded him!

"Tang San, according to the results of my theoretical research and analysis, the maximum age limit for a first soul ring is 423 years!"

At that moment, Tang San suddenly recalled what his teacher had previously told him!

Tang San then turned toward him, doubt—and even a trace of accusation—in his eyes. "Teacher, why can Luo Fan's first soul ring be a thousand-year soul ring?"

"Didn't you tell me that the limit for a first soul ring was 423 years?"
