[The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls]
This was something Yu Xiaogang had once proposed after relying on his connections with Bibi Dong to pore over the records in Spirit Hall and synthesize many written accounts.
After being promoted for a long time, it had also won the recognition of the various academies, sects, and clans in the Soul Master World.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang was extremely confident in the theories it contained.
There was no way anyone could break them.
"When Ning Xuan awakened his Martial Soul at the age of six, he had Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty. His First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring were five hundred and over a thousand years old, respectively."
Liu Erlong said, her tone complicated.
"The years of his subsequent Soul Rings were much the same: four thousand, four thousand, eleven thousand, thirty-five thousand, and fifty-five thousand for his Seventh Soul Ring."
Yu Xiaogang instantly stood there dumbfounded.
If things were really as Liu Erlong had said, then Ning Xuan had already started overturning his understanding from the moment he gained his First Soul Ring.
"How is that possible?"
Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, his expression grim.
"But even if his Seventh Soul Ring is an unreasonable fifty thousand years old, it's absolutely impossible for his Eighth Soul Ring to leap across the fifty-thousand-year mark and go straight to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring."
Soul Masters' requirements for the age of their Soul Rings
weren't something where they could simply choose whatever age they wanted. They had to take the Soul Master's own constitution into account.
If a Soul Ring's age exceeded the Soul Master's limits, failing to absorb it would be the least of their worries. There was a very high chance their body would simply burst apart.
"But he really did it."
Liu Erlong's feelings grew even more complicated.
In the Meeting Hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Ning Xuan's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring had left a deep impression on her.
She had even begun to doubt
whether her decision had really been the right one.
Seeing how certain Liu Erlong was, Yu Xiaogang suddenly fell silent too. He looked down at the tips of his shoes, his expression gloomy.
Only when Liu Erlong brought up the Immortal Herb again did he react.
"Xiaogang, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's proposal to break off the engagement came with another demand: we have to return all the betrothal gifts, including the Immortal Herb I gave you."
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed at once.
"Erlong, what do you mean? Are you asking me to return the Immortal Herb?"
After learning about the Immortal Herb's heaven-defying effects, he had already started thinking of it as his own.
The only reason he still hadn't taken it
was that he wanted to wait for Liu Erlong to come back and protect him while he did.
Why not have Flender protect him? Why insist on waiting for Liu Erlong?
To put it bluntly, the Immortal Herb was too tempting.
Yu Xiaogang didn't trust Flender. He could only trust Liu Erlong, the one who had given him the Immortal Herb.
But now, after hearing what Liu Erlong had said,
was she asking him to return the Immortal Herb to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
"Of course not."
Liu Erlong quickly shook her head.
"Xiaogang, that's why I called you here. Hurry back and pack your things. We'll leave tonight and go somewhere nobody knows us."
Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Okay, Erlong. Let's leave right now."
But before he had taken two steps, he stopped and turned back to ask,
"Should we bring Flender with us?"
The reason the Golden Iron Triangle was called the Golden Iron Triangle
was naturally that the three of them had to be together to unleash their powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Not one of them could be missing!!!
At the mention of Flender, Liu Erlong hesitated too.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and said,
"Let's not."
Liu Erlong knew perfectly well how Flender felt about her.
Bringing him along would certainly make them safer, but what would that even mean?
Was she really supposed to serve two husbands?
"Okay."
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Erlong, I have another way to keep the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect too busy to come after us for a while."
At this, Liu Erlong asked eagerly,
"Xiaogang, what do you have in mind?"
It would naturally be best if they could delay the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's search for them. That way, they would have time to disappear completely.
"Don't they want the Immortal Herb?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression turned fierce.
"Then we'll spread the word that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has an Immortal Herb. Someone will surely go looking for them tomorrow."
Liu Erlong's eyes immediately lit up.
Young people always seemed to have boundless stamina.
Though Tang Yuehua was a mature beauty, she was still new to intimacy. Before long, she was repeatedly begging for mercy under his assault.
After working hard for the entire night,
Ning Xuan felt refreshed. He put on his robe and was about to leave.
"Young Sect Master."
But suddenly, Tang Yuehua called out to him from behind.
Tang Yuehua was lying across the long rectangular table in the reception hall. She looked utterly exhausted, but her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were like silk.
Ning Xuan turned to look at her, smiling.
"Lady Yue, you taste good."
"Don't say that again."
Tang Yuehua couldn't help giving him a coquettish scold.
Only then did she ask,
"Where are you going?"
"Back to rest, of course."
Ning Xuan was taken aback, then smiled again.
"Of course, if Lady Yue doesn't mind the people below finding out that we spent the entire night alone together, I can stay here tonight too."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft."
Tang Yuehua propped up her limp body and sat up, speaking crossly.
"Men really are all rotten."
"Yuehua thought the Young Sect Master was an upright person. I never imagined you'd be so full of dirty thoughts."
"But didn't Lady Yue enjoy it too?"
Ning Xuan made no attempt to deny it.
"Your voice was very loud just now, too. If the reception hall weren't soundproofed, the whole Marketplace might have heard you."
Tang Yuehua's pretty face grew even redder.
She rubbed her aching arm, then spoke again.
"During the day, if the Young Sect Master has nothing else to do, you can come to Moonlight Pavilion and take stock of the assets. After all, Moonlight Pavilion is already your private property."
"Let's leave it for a while."
Ning Xuan said.
"Is something going on?"
Tang Yuehua asked, puzzled.
"Mm."
"There's nothing to hide."
Ning Xuan said,
"Since you know about Immortal Herbs, you should also know that when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sent betrothal gifts to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of them was an Immortal Herb."
"Now that the engagement has been called off, we'll definitely have to take that Immortal Herb back."
Tang Yuehua's body trembled slightly.
"Are you going to Blue Tyrant Academy tomorrow to demand the Immortal Herb?"
"Mm."
Ning Xuan said.
But when he saw Tang Yuehua looking as if she wanted to speak but hesitated, he frowned.
"What is it? Do you know something?"
Tang Yuehua drew a deep breath and said solemnly,
"I can tell you where the Immortal Herb is, but you can't let Erlong know I told you."
"Do you think that, given my relationship with her now, we'll have anything more to do with each other?"
Ning Xuan became a little interested in what she had to say.
How did Tang Yuehua know where Liu Erlong had put the Immortal Herb?
Were the two sisters really that close?
After a brief silence, Tang Yuehua finally said,
"There's a man named Yu Xiaogang at Blue Tyrant Academy. He's her cousin. Erlong gave the Immortal Herb to him."
"I just don't know whether, after all these days..."
"The Immortal Herb is still with him."
Yu Xiaogang?
Liu Erlong had given the Immortal Herb to Yu Xiaogang?
Ning Xuan's expression instantly darkened. His fists clenched unconsciously, and anger flared in his heart.
He had thought he could already view Liu Erlong's actions with a level head.
But he hadn't expected...
She'd still managed to pull a real doozy on him.
Just then, someone knocked on the reception room door, and the Marketplace Manager's voice came from outside.
"Young Sect Master, you asked me to keep an eye on Blue Tyrant Academy. We just received some news."
