Qian Renxue Has Gone Crazy?!

After sensing the aura of the Desolate Ancient Beast's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast ring, Chu Bai was taken aback. As a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, its aura seemed far too weak, about the same as that of some ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

"Is this thing really a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Or is it because it just went through a great tribulation and was poisoned by Bibi Dong and Dugu Bo, leaving it weakened to this extent?"

Chu Bai thought to himself. No matter what, it could only benefit him.

This would greatly increase his chances of absorbing this Spirit Ring.

Two days later.

"The Soul Power fluctuations around the Holy Son are growing stronger and stronger. It seems his fusion with this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring has reached its final stage." Yue Guan smiled as he sensed the surging aura around them.

"However... Your Holiness, why not have the Holy Son attach this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring to his Second Martial Soul? You've seen it too—his Second Martial Soul is immensely terrifying. If it gained another hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, it would benefit him even more."

Gui Mei hesitated for a moment before asking doubtfully.

Dugu Bo agreed. "Yes, his Second Martial Soul could become even stronger."

Bibi Dong looked rather helpless at that.

"It's not as though I didn't mention it to him, but he refused. He said the Spirit Rings for his Second Martial Soul should be decided by himself."

After hearing Bibi Dong's explanation, the others simply stopped asking.

After waiting a while longer, the Soul Power in the surroundings suddenly gathered around Chu Bai's body, transforming into a surging pillar of light that shot into the sky.

"Success!"

The group was overjoyed.

They had thought absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring would involve some difficulties. They had not expected it to be so easy.

As the five Spirit Rings beneath Chu Bai's feet emerged, the outermost, eye-catching red hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring filled Dugu Bo and the other two with envy. Even at their age, they had never possessed a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

Yet Chu Bai already had two at his age!

Three purple, one black, and one red—this was Chu Bai's current Spirit Ring configuration for the Pangu Axe. However, his Soul Power had not risen much and remained only at level fifty-two.

"It worked."

Chu Bai took a deep breath. In front of him, a glowing soul bone slowly floated in the air.

From its appearance, it seemed to be an arm soul bone.

"I'll take this soul bone too." Chu Bai smiled faintly and continued absorbing the soul bone before him.

The process of absorbing the soul bone lasted several more days. When Chu Bai opened his eyes again, his aura had risen to its peak. Even the Pangu Axe seemed to be wreathed in a strange desolate aura, making it appear exceptionally mysterious.

"How did it go?" Bibi Dong stepped forward and asked with concern.

Chu Bai smiled. "It worked. My Soul Power remains at level fifty-two, and I also absorbed a right arm bone."

"Haha, it seems the Holy Son gained quite a lot from this trip!"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily.

"As long as it succeeded, that's what matters. Let's leave first. As for the skills from your hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and soul bone, you can comprehend them after we return to Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong spoke, and everyone agreed with her. Chu Bai then released the Chaos Aura, enveloped everyone within it, and left the Desolate Land.

Over the past few days, the other women who had been waiting for Chu Bai's diary to update felt as though something was missing from their lives. They did not know whether it was because Chu Bai's snark had suddenly disappeared, or because they could no longer learn about things that would happen in the future through him.

"That damned Chu Bai actually dropped the novel?!"

"I hate authors who abandon their stories the most!!!"

Qian Renxue grumbled.

But then, she suddenly saw the diary begin updating. One moment she had been complaining, and the next, she had picked up the diary and begun reading it with great interest.

[Absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring feels amazing. Now I feel like I have the power to beat Qian Renxue into submission. Hasagi!!!]

All the women: "..."

What kind of insane statement was that?!

Qian Renxue in particular could barely restrain the Angel Holy Sword in her hand. She wished she could immediately give Chu Bai a taste of his own medicine!

"What does this guy take me for? A unit of measurement for combat strength? If I hadn't failed to react last time, how could I possibly have been defeated by you?"

"But this guy obtained another hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring? Has he already become a Spirit King? That cultivation speed really is terrifying."

Ning Rongrong, who was in Spirit Hall, was equally shocked. Chu Bai had not told her why he was leaving. Who would have thought he had gone to absorb a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring? Were hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings so cheap these days?

[When we meet next time, I definitely have to trick Qian Renxue into fighting me again. The loser... calls the winner Dad!]

"Pfft!!"

Qian Renxue spat out a mouthful of water and could no longer hold herself back. She immediately summoned her Six-Winged Angel spirit and was about to rush out, only to be grabbed by the suddenly appearing Snake Lance Douluo as soon as she stepped outside.

"Young Mistress, what's... wrong...?"

Snake Lance was at his wit's end.

Qian Renxue had looked depressed these past few days, but tonight she had suddenly become energetic. She was muttering to herself, crying and throwing a tantrum. Could the pressure of infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire have driven her mad?!

"Young Mistress, you absolutely mustn't go crazy! Endure for now and all will be calm. Your identity cannot be exposed!"

Snake Lance earnestly tried to persuade her.

Only then did Qian Renxue calm down. Her figure flashed, and she hurried back into her room.

"Damn you, Chu Bai! I'm going to stomp that thing of yours into paste!"

Fortunately, Chu Bai was not there.

Otherwise, he would definitely have asked, "Why are you rewarding me?!"

[This goddamn Douluo Continent actually has things like heavenly tribulations too. And it's a heavenly tribulation brought about by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, occurring once every fifty years. You must've done something seriously wrong. This Desolate Ancient Beast doesn't seem to be a creature of Douluo Continent—could it have come from another world?]

[But gaining two Spirit Ring skills and two soul bone skills all at once feels so damn good. Once I finish preparing the Spirit Hall Team, I'll go spar with Qian Renxue. Hehehe...]

[We'll happen to pass through the Heaven Dou Empire on the way back, so Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, this mother-and-daughter pair, can have a proper talk. We can pick up Dugu Yan too. Then the Spirit Hall Team will finally be complete.]

Perhaps because he was traveling, this diary entry ended very quickly.

Qian Renxue's gaze lingered on the three words "hehehe," and her face darkened. She could not understand how she had offended Chu Bai enough for him to keep mocking her in every possible way.
