Shock! Had Luofan's First Soul Ring Really Become a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?!

Back when he went to hunt for his second Soul Ring, his first Soul Ring had already grown to around four or five thousand years!

He had spent more time traveling to the Star Dou Great Forest, then entered the forest and found a suitable Soul Beast.

By the time he absorbed his second Soul Ring, his first was roughly five thousand years old.

And his second Soul Ring had been around three thousand years old!

Looking at the two Soul Rings on his Martial Soul, Luofan saw that his first had now grown on its own to the level of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

That meant his second Soul Ring had grown to around eight thousand years old too!

At this rate, would his second Soul Ring reach the ten-thousand-year level in about three months?

Luofan shook his head and set the thought aside for now.

More than a year had passed since his Martial Soul awakened, and he had devoted almost all his attention to raising his Soul Power Level. At last, he qualified to obtain his third Soul Ring!

So he had better go hunt for it soon!

That would give him another Soul Ring whose age could grow on its own. More importantly, he would get to draw another Golden Entry!

Peerless Prodigy, Soul Ring Growth, and Rule Addition!

Luofan was delighted with all three Golden Entries!

He wondered what his fourth Golden Entry would be.

He could hardly wait.

With his mind made up, Luofan went straight to find Xue Qinghe!

Sniffle, sniffle...

But just as Luofan reached Xue Qinghe's room, he heard quiet sobbing from inside.

"Luofan, if it's nothing important, you'd better leave for now!" Snake Lance Douluo stood guard outside the door and kindly warned him in a low voice.

Luofan's heart sank at the warning.

What had made Xue Qinghe cry last time?

Right. His Dream of the Red Chamber had reached the part where Lin Daiyu buried the flowers, and it had struck a chord with him.

And the latest installment? It had reached Lin Daiyu's death, hadn't it?

Oh no...

Remembering how heartbreaking that part was, Luofan drew a sharp breath. He gave Snake Lance Douluo a grateful look and turned to leave!

He wanted to get his third Soul Ring as soon as possible.

But when he thought about it, what difference would a day or two make? Or even three to five days?

After working hard for over a year, he could treat himself to a few days off, couldn't he?

"Luofan!!!"

But just as Luofan turned to slip away, Xue Qinghe's door was yanked open, and Xue Qinghe shouted after him!

Xue Qinghe usually called him "Little Brother Fan" so warmly. Today, he had used his full name?

"Uh, Brother Xue, I just remembered something important! I won't bother you!"

At Xue Qinghe's shout, Luofan switched from tiptoeing to an all-out sprint, calling back as he fled!

"Uncle She, bring him back!"

Xue Qinghe watched Luofan race away and gave the order with a cold expression.

A moment later, Snake Lance Douluo hauled Luofan back before Xue Qinghe!

"Uncle She, I misjudged you!" Luofan complained, looking at him.

He had secretly urged Luofan to run, then caught him the very next moment?

"Luofan, you! What a wonderful story you've written!"

Xue Qinghe's face was dark as ink, and every word he spoke sounded as though it had come straight from the depths of winter.

"Dream of the Red Chamber has so many readers, and Newspaper sales are doing so well. Yet you turned around and had Jia Baoyu marry someone else—and killed off Lin Daiyu?"

"Are Newspaper sales too good for your liking?"

"Bidding for the third round of Newspaper advertising is about to start! Are you trying to turn down Gold Soul Coins?"

With his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Xue Qinghe ought to have seemed holy and radiant!

But looking at him now, Luofan honestly wondered whether his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had mutated into a Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

He looked every bit like some terrifying villain.

"Brother Xue, are you sure it's only the Newspaper sales that make this plot development so hard for you to accept?"

Faced with Xue Qinghe's righteous talk about the bigger picture, Luofan couldn't resist asking.

"You're still making excuses!" Enraged, Xue Qinghe raised his fist and swung at Luofan.

Luofan spun around and ran!

"Stop running! Get back here!" Xue Qinghe chased after him.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

How could Luofan outrun a Five-Ring Soul King?

Within moments, Xue Qinghe had landed several punches, each one measured but solid!

They weren't enough to injure him, but they certainly hurt!

"Luofan, rewrite Lin Daiyu's death!"

"No!"

"It's for the Newspaper's sales!"

"I can't! I want Dream of the Red Chamber to become a masterpiece for the ages. Changing it would ruin everything!"

The two circled the mansion courtyard, one chasing and the other fleeing!

"My, the Young Master and Luofan really are close," Porcupinefish Douluo said as he arrived and watched them tussle.

"That's a good thing. Luofan's talent aside, the Young Master is living undercover in Heaven Dou and has to watch his every step. But he's still only sixteen. Now he has someone he can open up to and relax around," Snake Lance Douluo said.

"Luofan really was asking for a beating. Good!" Porcupinefish Douluo looked at Luofan with a trace of resentment in his eyes.

"What, the latest installment of Dream of the Red Chamber in the Newspaper got to you too?"

Snake Lance Douluo glanced at him and was surprised to find that Porcupinefish Douluo's eyes were red!

Seriously?

Was Luofan's Dream of the Red Chamber really that devastating?

The Young Master was, after all, a girl at a tender age, with delicate feelings. It was understandable that the story might move her!

But Porcupinefish Douluo was no spring chicken. Had it brought tears to his eyes too?

Had he hidden away and cried for a while himself?

"You wouldn't understand. You haven't read it!" Porcupinefish Douluo shot him an irritated glance.

While the two Titled Douluo talked off to the side, the chase went on!

By the time Luofan had fled for a while, he had taken seven or eight punches.

"Brother Xue, that's enough! Keep this up and I'll fight back!" Luofan shouted.

As he spoke, he raised a hand, and the Exquisite Pagoda appeared in his palm!

His two Soul Rings, one black and one purple, appeared with it!

A black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!?

Xue Qinghe's expression changed. So did those of the two Titled Douluo watching nearby when they saw that Luofan's First Soul Ring had turned black!
