Fusion complete! Four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!

Several days later.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

As the last Soul Ring was completely fused, Xiao Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Call!"

Exhaling a long breath, Xiao Xuan's face immediately showed a satisfied smile.

It's done!

After several days of continuous hunting and fusion, he finally upgraded his first two Soul Ring to the ten-thousand-year level!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan immediately had an idea.

The next moment!

Buzz!

With a surge of Soul Power, four jet-black Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Black! Black! Black! Black!

Four Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring pulsed around his body, emanating a Soul Power fluctuation that sent chills down one's spine.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xuan's smile deepened even more.

"Four Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

"Mission accomplished!"

It's important to know that, across the entire Douluo Continent, the Fourth Soul Ring of a normal Soul Master is only at the thousand-year level.

But now, he already possesses a total of four ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Such a terrifying Soul Ring Configuration is probably far beyond what even the Titled Douluo could achieve in their youth.

Moreover, the benefits of this upgrade go far beyond that.

After this period of continuous integration, his first two Soul Skill have also undergone significant changes.

First and foremost is the First Soul Skill, Lone Bamboo Thrust!

As the age of the Soul Ring increases, the attack power of both flying spikes and ground spikes is greatly enhanced.

In addition, when fusing Soul Ring from Soul Beast of different attributes, Lone Bamboo Thrust also successively acquired several elemental attributes.

For example, the metallic properties can further enhance the sharpness of the Bamboo Spear.

The wood element can enhance the toughness of the Bamboo Spear.

As for the earth element, besides enhancing the sturdiness of the Bamboo Spear, it also provides a significant boost to attacks like ground spikes.

The fire attribute allows the Bamboo Spear to inflict a burning effect when attacking.

Even water attributes can be incorporated into Soul Skill, giving attacks additional water flow impact.

As a result, the Lone Bamboo Thrust, which originally only had two attack methods—flying spikes and ground spikes—is now not only much more powerful, but also has a much wider variety of attack methods.

As for the Second Soul Skill, Space-Rending Half-Moon Slash, it has also received a significant upgrade.

In addition to the significant increase in the power and attack range of the Soul Skill itself, these attributes can also be used to imbue the unleashed Moon Blade with different attack effects.

While these elemental attributes aren't enough to fundamentally change Soul Skill, they're already quite good for actual combat.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

However, he soon seemed to remember something, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

"What a pity..."

"After fusing so many Soul Ring, we only obtained the five basic attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

To be honest, Xiao Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied with this result.

After all, he has fused with quite a few Soul Ring during this period.

However, what you ultimately obtain are just some very common elemental properties.

As for those rarer, special attributes, none of them appeared.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

After all, he didn't use any precious auxiliary materials for this Soul Ring fusion.

To obtain these five basic attributes solely through the fusion of Soul Ring is already quite good.

As for those precious materials that can endow Soul Skill with special abilities, they are extremely rare and hard to come by.

I can't expect to encounter such a good thing every time I fuse Soul Ring.

not to mention...

Now that all four Soul Ring have been upgraded to the ten-thousand-year level, it's something that ordinary Soul Master wouldn't even dare to dream of.

One should never be too greedy.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile, putting his regret behind him.

However, how to further improve the Soul Ring is something that needs careful consideration.

After all, the opportunities for Soul Ring fusion and upgrade are not unlimited.

Based on the current fusion method, there are only about ten fusion opportunities left to upgrade from Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring to Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Each fusion represents an opportunity to acquire new attributes.

If we use up all these opportunities now, what will we do when we encounter rare auxiliary materials with special attributes later?

With this in mind, Xiao Xuan quickly made a decision.

"It seems there's no need to rush to upgrade the Soul Ring anymore."

"Anyway, with my current strength, four Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring are more than enough."

"It's better to save these fusion opportunities for now, and continue upgrading later when we have the chance to obtain those precious auxiliary materials!"

With that thought in mind, Xiao Xuan stopped worrying about it.

"We've been away for so many days, it's time to go back!"

Having said that, he slowly stood up.

After determining the direction, he started walking towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

It's been quite some time since I left Heaven Dou City.

Now that the goal of upgrading the Soul Ring has been achieved, there is naturally no need to stay here any longer.

at the same time.

The outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside a path that leads deep into the forest.

At this moment, dozens of figures were silently hidden in the dense forest on both sides of the road.

These people all exuded a calm and composed aura, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary Soul Master.

And the one leading them was none other than Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang!

She held a snake-head cane, her eyes fixed on the forest path ahead.

"Are you sure that kid Xiao Xuan will pass through here?"

Chao Tianxiang turned her head and looked at a middle-aged man beside her.

"Don't worry, Madam, it's absolutely right!"

The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and lowered his voice:

"For the past few days, our people have been secretly monitoring Xiao Xuan's movements."

"According to the scouts, that kid goes into the forest every day and doesn't return along this path until evening."

"Furthermore, I have confirmed this repeatedly; he was always alone, with no other Soul Master accompanying him!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Tianxiang nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good!"

"Pass down the order: everyone must conceal their presence. Without my command, no one is permitted to make any rash moves!"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man quickly accepted the order and withdrew.

However, Meng Yiran, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown.

She glanced at the hidden experts from the Meng Clan around her and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Grandma, there's something I don't understand."

"What's wrong?"

Chao Tianxiang turned to look at her granddaughter.

"That Xiao Xuan, in the end, is just a Soul Ancestor of level forty-something."

Meng Yiran lowered her voice and continued:

"Do we really need to make such a fuss?"

As she said this, she couldn't help but glance around.

"You know, we brought all the experts our family could muster this time to deal with him!"

"Besides you, the Soul Emperor, there are five Soul King and twelve Soul Ancestor!"

"Even Grandpa Gu, a peak Soul Saint of level seventy-nine, was invited by you!"

"With such a lineup, let alone dealing with a mere Soul Ancestor, even an ordinary Soul Saint would probably have no choice but to flee in defeat, right?"

Meng Yiran really couldn't understand it.

In her opinion, no matter how powerful Xiao Xuan was, he was just a Soul Ancestor of level 40-something.

With the current lineup the Meng Clan has mobilized, trying to deal with such a young man is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
