"This...this is unscientific!
How can there be such an exaggerated soul ring ratio?"
Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in disbelief.
"He's even more talented than Xiao San! Oh no...Xiao San is trash compared to him!"
Qian Renshang's power shattered Yu Xiaogang's long-held, proud theory.
Tang San's lips twitched, looking at his teacher speechlessly.
What did he mean by saying I'm trash compared to that guy?
Damn it!
Even though there was no real conflict with that guy, Tang San hated Qian Renshang intensely.
Meanwhile, Flander was no longer thinking about anything; he only felt a surge of anger.
Someone dared to cause trouble at the Shrek Academy gate, injuring teachers and students.
No matter how talented that person was, they had to pay the price!
He knew that Dai Mubai's account might be slightly inaccurate, but Flander didn't care.
He, the four-eyed owl, was extremely greedy; what was wrong with swindling these commoners out of ten gold soul coins?
He hadn't killed them, but having that money taken back was worse than killing him, Flander.
"That kid shouldn't have gone too far, Zhao Wuji… Find that kid, I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget!"
Flander glanced at the burly man beside him, who smiled contemptuously.
"Yes, Dean… just a five-ring Soul King, teaching him a lesson is like swatting an ant."
Zhao Wuji was full of confidence; after all, he was a seven-ring Soul Saint!
After saying goodbye to Flander, Zhao Wuji immediately chased after him.
Flander continued shouting, a fake smile on his face.
"Registration continues… Anyone wanting to join Shrek Academy, continue paying for the test, no cheating!"
"Those were all accidents!"
Anyway!
The news that a young five-ring Soul King had defeated a six-ring Soul Emperor head-on at the gates of Shrek Academy spread rapidly!
This astonishing information even attracted the attention of the Spirit Hall.
…
And on the other side!
Qian Renshang gave Chen Feng the extra gold soul coins he had taken from Shrek Academy.
These coins were enough to ensure Chen Feng's livelihood for the next few years.
He then told Chen Feng it would be best to go to another city and join another soul master academy to avoid retaliation from Shrek Academy.
Chen Feng nodded in agreement, then asked curiously,
"But, Brother Qian... where are you going again?"
"I..."
Qian Renshang scratched his head, looking confused again.
"I don't know, I'll just take it one step at a time... experience the different scenery, and then cultivate."
Qian Renshang had two main purposes for leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.
One was to learn about the Douluo Continent so that he could take Gu Yuena to experience its customs and culture after she woke up.
The other was to become a god, but his current strength was not enough, so this plan could not be implemented for the time being.
After bidding farewell to Chen Feng, Qian Renshang left directly.
"I also need to cultivate hard... to be as strong as Brother Qian."
Chen Feng murmured to himself, watching Qian Renshang's departing figure, and regained his confidence.
After leaving Soto City.
Qian Renshang quickly found a secluded spot to stop!
He looked excited, because the recent battle had allowed him to break through the level 59 Soul Power barrier, directly reaching level 60!
Level 60 Soul Power meant that Qian Renshang could now be considered a Soul Emperor, needing only to absorb one more Soul Ring.
"I didn't expect to break through to level 60...I'll take this opportunity to break through directly."
Qian Renshang said, taking out an object radiating golden light.
This was none other than the Divine Soul Ring that the system had previously rewarded him with!
The Soul Rings he had absorbed before were all prepared for him by Di Tian and the others, so this Divine Soul Ring had remained unused...now it was finally going to come in handy.
However, looking at this Divine Soul Ring, Qian Renshang suddenly had a bold idea.
"Theoretically, a Divine Soul Ring can absorb the maximum Soul Ring age that one can withstand...I must make good use of this Divine Soul Ring, and eventually obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring!"
A 100,000-year Soul Ring!
That's on a completely different level from a ten-thousand-year soul ring, because it allows you to gain two soul skills at once.
"My current soul power is only level sixty, theoretically I should only be able to withstand soul rings of thirty thousand years or more, but I have the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and my physique is much stronger than that of ordinary soul masters."
"But even so, I feel I can only absorb soul rings of around seventy or eighty thousand years, only when I reach the seventh-ring Soul Saint... will I have absolute confidence in absorbing a one hundred thousand-year soul ring."
Qian Renshang began to analyze his current situation.
Absorbing a one hundred thousand-year soul ring now was indeed a bit risky.
However...
fortune favors the bold!
A golden light flashed in Qian Renshang's eyes.
He was destined to become a god in the future, how could he shrink back because of something like this?
"I'll risk it all!!"
Qian Renshang's eyes grew even more determined.
He quickly took out the ten-thousand-year-old green vine, from which he took out several emerald green spiritual fruits, as well as the Fountain of Life given to him by Bi Ji.
These two things can greatly enhance his vitality, which should be very helpful for fusing with the spirit ring.
With everything ready,
Qian Renshang sat cross-legged and began fusing with the divinely bestowed spirit ring, his expression solemn and resolute.
Before him, the divinely bestowed spirit ring, shining with dazzling light, slowly floated, radiating a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Qian Renshang took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and began to guide the divinely bestowed spirit ring closer to him.
The moment the spirit ring touched his body, a violent force surged into his meridians, his body trembled violently, and his face instantly filled with pain.
He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, sweat pouring down his face.
Every inch of his skin felt like it was being scorched by flames, every bone felt like it was being struck by a heavy hammer.
"It hurts so much…"
Qian Renshang's expression was terrible, but he still persevered.
The surrounding (heaven and earth energy) surged wildly into his body, colliding and intertwining with the power of the divinely bestowed spirit ring.
Qian Renshang's body swelled and contracted intermittently, as if it might explode at any moment.
But his eyes showed no sign of retreat, only endless determination and resolve.
He endured the excruciating pain, constantly adjusting his soul power, striving to adapt to and integrate with this powerful and violent force.
As time passed, Qian Renshang's body was on the verge of collapse, and his consciousness began to blur.
However, at this critical moment, a powerful will to survive and a thirst for power erupted from the depths of his heart.
"I want to become a god… I want… to be with her!!"
With this belief, he rallied his spirits once more, fully guiding his soul power to merge with the power of the divinely bestowed soul ring.
Finally, in a dazzling light, the divinely bestowed soul ring successfully merged into his body, transforming into a brilliant 100,000-year soul ring.
Qian Renshang slowly opened his eyes, a powerful aura emanating from him; he had successfully broken through to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor realm.
