Ring Detonation as a Test! Soul Rings Have No Upper Limit! (Please Keep Reading)

The people of Douluo Star, freshly dragged out of the Virtual World Exchange Forum, could not help marveling when they saw Confucius.

But as their exclamations piled up, Confucius's appearance began to frighten them.

This man was a master of Martial Soul Theory research? The foremost expert on Huaxia Star?

Now they were curious to hear what theory Confucius would put forward!

And it was not just them. Yu Xiaogang had barely left the Virtual World Exchange Forum when he saw Confucius and froze in shock!

Inside the Virtual World Exchange Forum, the people of Huaxia Star had already begun singing Confucius's praises.

[Thank goodness, Councilor Frightening Confucius is here!]

[I knew Mr. Frightening Confucius was Huaxia Star's foremost Martial Soul Theory researcher! Now go and crush Yu Xiaogang!]

The people of Huaxia Star had utter confidence in Confucius. One after another, they hurled out challenges without a hint of fear, outdoing even Yu Xiaogang's earlier swagger.

Yu Xiaogang could not stomach their arrogance.

He wanted to see just who this so-called Confucius was and what brilliant insights he had to offer.

Yu Xiaogang looked up from the forum, caught sight of Confucius's physique—nothing like his own—and went rigid.

Wait. This man is a Martial Soul research master?

Those muscles could take on ten of me!

No, even a hundred of me wouldn't stand a chance!

The look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes rivaled the one he had worn when Bibi Dong abandoned him!

His mouth hung open. He could not get a word out!

Seeing him like this, the other Shrek members struggled not to laugh!

Amid the laughter, Ning Rongrong stepped forward first.

"Teacher, I'd be careful if I were you. This Mr. Frightening Confucius from Huaxia Star looks like someone to reckon with."

"He does. One look at those muscles tells me he's extraordinary," Ma Hongjun added, patting his own belly as he spoke.

Comparing the two, Ma Hongjun felt Frightening Confucius was simply too formidable!

Yu Xiaogang, however, refused to concede. He kept arguing.

"So what? He has muscles. That just makes him a brute."

"I rely on my brains. I refuse to believe a mere brute has any wisdom."

Still carrying himself like a Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang looked down on everyone.

Even after Frightening Confucius revealed muscles beyond anything he could match, Yu Xiaogang still sneered!

Muscles had never frightened Yu Xiaogang. Ning Rongrong, though, tried to warn him.

"Teacher, you'd better not speak too soon. Don't forget what just happened. Nothing from Huaxia Star can be judged by ordinary standards!"

Many of the Shrek members felt the same way!

"Exactly. Grandmaster, you'd better not get too cocky, or you'll get put in your place again," Dai Mubai said, coming to his senses.

Zhu Zhuqing watched the Sky Screen intently, curiosity and a hunger for answers written across her face.

At the same time,

outside the Federal Council hall on Huaxia Star,

Frightening Confucius, dressed in tight-fitting clothes that showed off every muscle, saw himself appear on the Sky Screen and smiled gently.

Paired with that physique, the smile looked particularly inscrutable!

"An apt pupil indeed. You haven't let me down!"

"If you hadn't ranked me first, I would have made a fuss."

Frightening Confucius spoke without the slightest reverence for the Sky Screen.

Beside him, Shen Nong chuckled. Then, resting his chin on his hand, he turned serious.

"As I recall, you came to me for help with every one of your experiments, Frightening Confucius. Lucky I was there. Otherwise, you'd have died more times than you could count."

At Shen Nong's words, the other councilors quickly chimed in.

"True. Everyone knows Frightening Confucius's experiments are the boldest. Every single one seems to put his life at risk!"

"The fact that he's still alive is a blessing for Huaxia Star."

Frightening Confucius was about to object, but the Sky Screen gave him no chance!

[Key point of Frightening Confucius's research theory: there is no age limit on the Soul Rings one can absorb!]

The very first point overturned Yu Xiaogang's conclusion.

Across the continent of Douluo Star, excitement swept through the crowd.

"Here it comes! He's opening with the big one!"

"There's really no limit on Soul Ring age?"

"Now that's a shock!"

As the crowds buzzed with excitement, they took to the Virtual World Exchange Forum to discuss it.

The people of Huaxia Star, however, knew this was only the beginning.

[You call that impressive? Just wait until you see what Frightening Confucius can do!]

[Exactly! Councilor Frightening Confucius never fails to stun everyone!]

[He even tested this theory on himself!]

That last remark made no sense to the people of Douluo Star.

Then the Sky Screen changed, revealing the experiment through which Frightening Confucius had proven his theory!

[For a research fanatic, even a theorist can test a method on himself and use his own body as the specimen!]

The moment the Sky Screen's voice sounded, the members of the Shrek Seven Devils turned awkward looks on Yu Xiaogang.

Having realized they were the specimens, they were at a loss for words.

Look at Frightening Confucius—he tested his theories on himself. They, meanwhile, had become Yu Xiaogang's lab rats!

Yu Xiaogang remained as stubborn as a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, his eyes fixed on the Sky Screen.

A retort echoed in his mind. Let's see how you plan to test it!

With that, the scene appeared on the Sky Screen.

Frightening Confucius's striking figure stood inside a laboratory.

At the same time, his recorded voice rang out!

[Experiment one hundred and eight! Beginning absorption of my First Soul Ring!]

With that, Frightening Confucius began absorbing the Yellow Soul Ring before him.

The freshly formed Soul Ring was still warm. It took him just ten minutes to absorb it, after which he made a record.

[Five-hundred-year Soul Ring absorbed successfully! Next: a five-hundred-and-fifty-year Soul Ring!]

Even after hearing that record, the onlookers could only marvel without quite understanding what they had seen!

But the next moment, Frightening Confucius took control of the Soul Ring he had just absorbed and used Ring Detonation!

Boom!

Amid the blast, Frightening Confucius stood there in his bodybuilder's pose, completely unharmed!

As though nothing had happened, he went right on absorbing Soul Rings to test his theory!

Over and over, he absorbed Soul Rings, then detonated them...

Frightening Confucius remained perfectly calm. Beneath the Sky Screen, however,

the people of Douluo Star—including Yu Xiaogang—could no longer contain their agitation!

"Wait—is he even human?"
