After Xiao Wu condensed her soul ring, she became deeply affectionate and inseparable with Tang San.
Because this was once again a soul ring condensed beyond the usual limit, Xiao Wu's strength increased very rapidly.
At present, she had already reached level 53 — a powerful Soul King.
Even though the medicinal effect of the immortal herb Lovesick Heartbroken Red could no longer increase Xiao Wu's soul power, her level still completely crushed everyone else.
Perhaps even Yu Tianheng was no longer higher level than her.
On the other side, after seeing Xiao Wu improve so drastically, Tang San was sincerely happy for her from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he learned that Xiao Wu was a transformed 100,000-year Soft Bone Rabbit, his heart had always been tense like a tightly drawn string.
Although Xiao Wu had absorbed the Lovesick Heartbroken Red and her true body could no longer be detected…
On the Douluo Continent, there existed godly inheritances, so Tang San didn't fully trust the herb's concealment.
And Xiao Wu's improvement in strength was her greatest protection.
He wasn't 100% confident that he could protect Xiao Wu forever.
At this moment, Tang Ni looked at Xiao Wu and thought about her heaven-defying soul skills and absurdly high soul power level.
A strong sense of urgency rose within her.
Even that silly rabbit had surpassed her — how could she tolerate that?
Tang Ni quickly made a secret decision to double her training intensity. Moreover, she resolved that when she returned to Ditian, she would definitely ask him for some Essence of Life Gold to consume.
At this time, Xiao Lin was still recording the light-point sequence of the self-condensed soul ring.
Some sequences he had recorded incorrectly or messily were corrected under the guidance of the two Dragon Kings.
Of course, the two Dragon Kings certainly didn't fully remember the exact light-point sequence of Xiao Wu's self-condensed soul ring.
It was just that, given their vast experience and overwhelming strength, their instincts could sense when certain sequences were unreasonable.
Whether Xiao Lin would ultimately be able to recreate Xiao Wu's fifth soul skill remained unknown.
It could be a lower-grade version, or a soul skill of similar level but in a different direction, or perhaps even a strengthened version.
And of course, it was also possible that he would fail completely.
Programming a self-condensed soul ring like this was extremely difficult.
Xiao Lin was learning from scratch; he did not expect immediate success.
As long as he could get the soul ring to run, it didn't matter if there were bugs inside.
Just as Tang San and the others continued waiting for Xiao Lin to finish recording the self-condensed soul ring…
On the other side, at the entrance of Thunder Canyon—
A youth who somewhat resembled Yu Tianheng in appearance arrived at Thunder Canyon together with two companions.
This person was none other than Yu Tianxin of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and his companions were Leidong and Leitian from Thunder Academy.
Yu Tianxin had brought Leidong and Leitian here solely to help them obtain soul rings.
Unlike Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin was a member of Thunder Academy, walking the path of extreme thunder and lightning.
However, although Yu Tianxin pursued the path of ultimate lightning, he also had deep mastery of the dragon transformation secret arts.
Daring to personally bring two companions alone into Thunder Canyon to obtain soul rings was already a testament to his confidence in his own strength.
But the moment Yu Tianxin arrived at Thunder Canyon, his brows furrowed instantly.
"Captain, you said we're coming here to obtain high-quality thunder-attribute soul beast rings. Are you sure we don't need to call our teacher?"
Leidong looked at the constant bolts of thunder falling within Thunder Canyon, his mouth twitching.
Could they really come to such a place without the protection of a Soul Emperor-level expert?
Hearing Leidong's words, Leitian also nodded in agreement.
His martial soul was the Thunder Eagle, capable of flying in the skies.
But looking at the lightning hidden within the dark clouds above, he didn't dare fly upward.
That meant he couldn't obtain a flying-type soul beast ring fit for his martial soul.
He couldn't possibly risk his life by flying into the storm clouds to battle soul beasts, right?
Yu Tianxin ignored his two companions and frowned slightly.
He strode directly to an area lush with Blue Silver Grass and parted the grass.
Leidong and Leitian curiously followed behind him.
To their shock, they found members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's guards lying unconscious within.
Seeing this, Leidong and Leitian widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Isn't this place under the jurisdiction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Someone actually dared to attack them?"
"That's insane! So bold!"
The two cried out in surprise.
Then they nervously looked at Yu Tianxin — had something happened to the clan? Would their captain be affected?
Smack! Smack!
Yu Tianxin helped the two guards sit upright and patted their backs gently.
After a pulse of soul power surged through them, the two slowly regained consciousness.
"Uncles, what happened?"
Yu Tianxin supported them and asked softly.
Although he asked, Yu Tianxin had already deduced most of the situation from the surroundings.
It was likely someone wanted to enter Thunder Canyon to obtain a soul ring, was stopped by these two guards, and knocked them unconscious.
They were placed here in the concealing Blue Silver Grass so they wouldn't be eaten by soul beasts.
Since the attackers didn't intend to enrage the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianxin didn't feel overly angry.
Soon, after the two guards explained, Yu Tianxin instantly understood what had happened.
It turned out Xiao Lin and his group had come here.
Yu Tianxin narrowed his eyes slightly and began thinking about what to do next.
From the guards' descriptions and the distinctive Blue Silver Grass, Yu Tianxin was certain it was them.
Due to Yu Tianheng's change, Yu Tianxin had already taken note of Xiao Lin's group before.
However, according to his knowledge, Xiao Lin's group should have already obtained their fourth soul rings.
Coming here now to get rings—could that mean they had already reached level 50 and become Soul Kings?
At this thought, Yu Tianxin couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
His own speculation shocked him deeply.
If he remembered correctly, Xiao Lin and the others were only twelve years old.
Even if the new year was in two months, they'd only be thirteen by nominal age.
Terrifying. Truly terrifying!
Even Master Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to raise them to Soul Kings at twelve without involving soul bones.
Thinking of Yu Tianheng's changes, a dark thought emerged in Yu Tianxin's heart.
But he lacked confidence in defeating Xiao Lin's group.
Should he seek help from his grandfather and the others?
If they secretly kidnapped Xiao Lin's group, it would greatly benefit his martial soul and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
But would that offend Master Xiao Yan?
Yu Tianxin was torn, his expression showing clear struggle.
After some thought, Yu Tianxin decided to abandon the idea of capturing Xiao Lin and the others.
The reason was simple: ever since a paper exposing the Clan's medicinal baths had surfaced six years ago…
Many families and factions had come to collaborate with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
There were too many eyes watching. If anyone discovered such an incident, it would be disastrous.
Moreover, Yu Tianheng had said they must only befriend Xiao Lin's group — never antagonize them.
Although Xiao Lin appeared backed only by Master Xiao Yan…
In truth, the forces behind Xiao Lin included Dugu Bo, an unknown Titled Douluo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, the Heaven Dou Empire, and many others.
Those other forces would not allow the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to monopolize benefits.
Once he made up his mind, Yu Tianxin felt relieved.
He planned to befriend Xiao Lin's group and exchange benefits, perhaps gaining advantages similar to Yu Tianheng.
Soon, Yu Tianxin also stopped the two guards from reporting this to the clan.
Thank you all for your monthly passes, recommendation votes, and tips!
I suddenly realized that even when taking leave, drafts still need to be prepared in advance.
