Mist Forest, in the thousand-year soul beast region!
"Xiao San, this soul beast is already over forty-eight hundred years old. It's more than enough for your fourth soul ring. Why are you still insisting on a ten-thousand-year one?"
Yu Xiaogang scolded Tang San, who stood before him.
The soul beast before them was over forty-eight hundred years old, already close to the theoretical limit he had established for a fourth soul ring, yet Tang San still wasn't satisfied.
"Teacher, Su Ling obtained a soul ring over ten thousand years old for his fourth soul ring. I can do it too. I'm no worse than him," Tang San said confidently.
Even as he watched the forty-eight-hundred-year soul beast slip away, Tang San stood by his decision.
"Xiao San, you can't compare yourself to Su Ling. He... ah, forget it. Since you've decided on a ten-thousand-year soul beast, we'll find one. But it absolutely cannot be older than twelve thousand years," Yu Xiaogang said helplessly.
"Thank you, Teacher! I understand." Tang San looked delighted. He felt that only by absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring could he avoid falling too far behind Su Ling.
"Let's go. We'll head into the ten-thousand-year soul beast region," Yu Xiaogang said.
"It's a shame we haven't encountered a suitable soul beast for Xiao Wu along the way," Tang San said regretfully.
"Brother, it's fine. Let's find your soul ring first. Mine can wait," Xiao Wu quickly replied.
Xiao Wu was actually relieved that they hadn't encountered a suitable soul beast for her. If they really killed one for her to absorb its soul ring, she would be in trouble.
"Grandmaster, you're really letting Tang San absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? And as his fourth one, at that?" Situ Lie Feng asked in bewilderment.
