“What? Great Elder, what did you just say?
A Grand Soul Master with two ten-thousand-year soul rings? That’s impossible! We’ve known each other for so many years—don’t joke with us like this!”
The Golden Crocodile was breathing heavily, his eyes wide as he stared at Qian Daoliu. His powerful voice echoed throughout the Hall of Offerings. It was clear how shocked he was by what he had just heard—so shocked that he could hardly believe his own ears.
The other Elders also showed different expressions as they all looked at Qian Daoliu.
Ten-thousand-year soul rings alone were not shocking to them.
But a Grand Soul Master, with the first soul ring at ten thousand years and the second soul ring also at ten thousand years—this was completely unbelievable.
Seeing the reactions of his old brothers, Qian Daoliu smiled. On the way back, he had already imagined this scene several times. But even now, watching their stunned faces, he still couldn’t help but smile proudly.
“I said it clearly,” Qian Daoliu said firmly.
“Feng’er has two ten-thousand-year soul rings.”
Golden Crocodile blinked, looked at Qian Daoliu, then at Lin Feng, and shook his head.
“Impossible. This is absolutely impossible. No one can absorb two ten-thousand-year soul rings at the Grand Soul Master stage. If you said they were thousand-year rings, we might believe it. That has happened before.”
“Yes,” Guang Ling added, shaking his head.
“Ten-thousand-year soul rings cause soul shock. Even if Feng’er is talented, his body couldn’t handle it. This simply can’t happen.”
Lin Feng scratched his head awkwardly.
“But… Grandpas, my soul rings really are ten thousand years old.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two dark-black soul rings slowly appeared beneath his feet. The deep black glow spread throughout the Hall of Offerings.
Golden Crocodile and the others opened their mouths, completely speechless.
The truth was right in front of them.
No matter how hard they tried to deny it—those were two real ten-thousand-year soul rings.
“This… this… this…” Golden Crocodile stammered, unable to finish his sentence.
“They really are ten-thousand-year rings…” Qing Luan said in a daze.
“This aura doesn’t lie. The Great Elder wasn’t joking with us.”
“How did you do it?” Lion Douluo asked excitedly, his body trembling.
“What method did you use? Feng’er, can you tell us? If our Spirit Hall had this method, we would reach a whole new level!”
If Spirit Hall could master this method, then all of their soul masters could have ten-thousand-year soul rings. While others were still chasing the so-called ‘best soul ring setup,’ Spirit Hall would already be far ahead.
Just as Lin Feng was about to explain, Qian Daoliu spoke.
“Don’t even think about it. Only Feng’er can do this.”
“His soul rings are God-bestowed soul rings, and they are growth-type. As his strength increases, the age of his soul rings increases as well.”
Even if they broke their heads thinking about it, they would never guess the truth. The God of Order had gone this far for his successor—and this was before the divine trial had even begun.
Qian Daoliu couldn’t imagine what rewards Lin Feng would receive once the divine trial truly started.
“The God of Order… to do so much for Feng’er…” Golden Crocodile said bitterly.
“Although there’s no method to absorb ten-thousand-year rings as the first or second soul ring,” Qian Daoliu continued,
“there is a safe method to absorb thousand-year soul rings as the first ring—without any danger.”
His words hit the hall like a bomb.
They all had a rich experience. Absorbing a thousand-year soul ring as the first ring was possible, but extremely dangerous and dependent on physical strength. Even Spirit Hall’s Six-Winged Angel soul masters would not dare try it lightly.
“Great Elder, is this true?” Qing Luan asked.
“Absolutely true,” Qian Daoliu said with a smile.
“The God of Order told Feng’er, and Feng’er passed it on to me.”
“Please explain!” Golden Crocodile said excitedly.
Even without ten-thousand-year rings, safely absorbing a thousand-year ring as the first soul ring was already shocking enough.
“The God of Order said that on this continent, there is something that can strengthen a soul master’s body if taken long-term.”
“With it, a soul master can safely absorb a thousand-year soul ring as their first ring.”
“What is it?”
“Does such a thing really exist?”
Everyone voiced their doubts. If it really existed, how could they not know about it?
“It exists,” Qian Daoliu said calmly.
“And it’s something you’re all very familiar with.”
“What is it?”
“Whale gelatin.”
“Whale gelatin?!” the Elders exclaimed together.
They all knew whale gelatin. It was known mainly for aphrodisiac effects and improving stamina in that area. It was popular among nobles.
Who would have thought it could strengthen a soul master’s body?
“This is what the God of Order told Feng’er,” Qian Daoliu said.
“If whale gelatin is taken in small amounts, it has no negative effects. If taken long-term during childhood, it strengthens the body enough to absorb a thousand-year soul ring at awakening.”
“If that’s true,” Golden Crocodile said seriously,
“then Spirit Hall must purchase large amounts of it—and also find our own way to obtain it.”
If it were only for pleasure, whale gelatin was useless to soul masters. But if it could strengthen the body and allow thousand-year first soul rings, its value was completely different.
“I agree,” Qian Daoliu nodded.
“Before others discover its true use, Spirit Hall must stockpile it and research better ways to use it.”
“We thought we already understood this continent completely,” Qian Jun said with emotion.
“But now it seems we’ve only uncovered the tip of the iceberg.”
While the Elders were still deeply discussing whale gelatin in the Hall of Offerings…
The one responsible for everything—Lin Feng—had already returned to his room.
He lay down on his soft bed.
On the way back from Star Dou Forest, he had slept on Qian Daoliu’s leg. It was hard and uncomfortable.
Now, there was only one thing he wanted to do—
Sleep properly on a soft bed. 😴
