……

The spectator area below the stage was now in an uproar.

Chen Mu suddenly turned to look at Chen Xiaojun and asked excitedly, "Sixth Brother, Xiao Yi... Xiao Yi has a 100,000-year soul ring, you... you didn't know before?"

Chen Xiaojun did not answer immediately.

He looked at the seated figure in the room, remained silent for a moment, and his face showed neither the joy nor shock that others had expected, but rather a deep contemplation.

He first turned around subconsciously, his gaze passing through the crowd to the imposing figure at the entrance of the contestants' passage—Chen Hong.

Then, he looked up at the VIP box in the audience, specifically the one belonging to the Chen family (box number 22), as if confirming something or weighing something.

There was no fanaticism in those eyes, only an incredibly clear solemnity.

……

Above the arena, the blood ring hangs in the air, slender willow branches hold the world-shaking giant hammer in place, and the verdant new vine stands quietly amidst the surging waves, exuding a contradictory ancient charm.

This extraordinary scene, like an invisible giant hand, silenced the deafening roar. After the extreme excitement, the vast arena fell into an eerie, oppressive silence, like the calm before a storm.

Deep inside the contestant passage, Yang Jingxue's oval face showed an even more solemn expression. Without turning her head, a subtle yet clear fluctuation of soul power directly reached Chen Hong's ears beside her: "Brother Hong, what exactly is the reason for this?"

On Chen Hong's resolute face, the muscles in his cheeks twitched almost imperceptibly as he replied, "The soul ring is fake."

Yang Jingxue said knowingly, "Fake? Sure enough, in the surprise attack a few days ago, Xiaoyi was clearly level 59, where would she get a sixth spirit ring? Not to mention this blood-red ten thousand years that shocked the world..."

Chen Hong's eyes were calm and deep as he explained, "That soul ring is real, but it's not a 100,000-year one."

Yang Jingxue pondered for a moment, her eyes flashing rapidly, and then asked, "So... Xiaoyi really does have twin martial souls? And this strange willow vine is her second martial soul?"

If someone is level 59 and has six rings, then one of them must come from their second martial soul.

After all, as Xiao Yi's godmother and one of her mentors, she was mentally prepared for the fact that the five derivative vines were branches of the Evergreen Vine Martial Soul. After all, it was no coincidence that Xiao Yi's first five soul skills corresponded to the five vines.

However, at this moment, a seventh willow vine with a completely different shape appeared.

Chen Hong slightly moved his chin, glanced at the ordinary green willow, and affirmed, "Indeed, the second martial soul is called the Void Willow Vine."

"As for the blood-red color that has lasted for 100,000 years, it was just created by his second soul skill - simulation."

Yang Jingxue's mind raced, and she leaned against the wall of the passage behind her: "The image of a 100,000-year soul ring... the implications of this matter are immeasurable. Now, how should we end this?"

Chen Hong's face twitched, and he said in a muffled voice, "What do you want me to do? Should I just tell all these hundreds of thousands of people that she possesses the secret of twin martial souls?"

"Should we make it clear to the world that although this ring appears to be 100,000 years old, its essence is only an extremely rare 79999-year ultimate soul ring, infinitely close to the 80,000-year Saint King level?"

Yang Jingxue was taken aback: "This child only has a 79999-year-old Limit Soul Ring?"

Chen Hong seemed to sigh: "With the power of the spacetime attribute, it would take me a lot of effort to break through 79999 years, but it would be more than enough to withstand that final combination attack."

"Her Void Willow Spirit is very special. This first spirit ring is inherent to her martial soul and is a true innate spirit skill with the potential for growth."

"It used to be 7.8 years, but after obtaining the second spirit ring, it slowly grew to 79999 years."

"It should be nurturing reserves for a breakthrough. As long as he acquires one more soul ring, he can break through to the Saint King level."

Yang Jingxue's eyes widened in shock: "It's so amazing! Does that mean she can break through 100,000 years?!" Then, as if she had thought of something, she wondered, "What if someone finds out she's level 59?"

Chen Hong scoffed: "Who could tell that Xue Jiqing is still the Ghost King? If I didn't know the details, I wouldn't be able to tell either."

"Besides, she is already level 71. People at level 59 would only think that her seal was not completely broken before."

Yang Jingxue said with a hint of realization, "I see. However, this is indeed a difficult situation to resolve."

Chen Hong paused for a moment, his voice growing deeper, "Yes, even if we deny it, what's the difference between 100,000 years for a sixth-ring and 100,000 years for a seventh-ring?"

"The world will only remember that blinding crimson color and her astonishing reputation for possessing a '100,000-year soul ring' even before she was given a title."

Yang Jingxue remained silent for a moment, then transmitted her voice: "Yes... While a 100,000-year soul ring is indeed astonishing throughout history, what truly makes people's hearts tremble and is enough to overturn generations' understanding is this inconceivable act of 'six rings and 100,000 years'..."

The implication was crystal clear: a 100,000-year spirit ring is extremely rare and is one of the symbols of a top-tier expert; yet a girl who is only at the Soul Emperor level possesses such a thing, which directly shatters the established understanding formed over thousands of years in the Martial Soul world—that is, the best spirit ring ratio is nine rings and a 100,000-year spirit ring!
This is not just about being powerful; it's a revolutionary challenge to the established hierarchy of the Soul Master system.

If the Sixth Ring Road already has a "ten thousand years" scene, what will the Seventh Ring Road, the Eighth Ring Road, and even the final Ninth Ring Road look like?

Thinking hard.

……

Inside the exclusive VIP room of the Chen family, number 22.

Chen Menglin leaned back in his soft chair, his gaze passing through the massive floor-to-ceiling crystal curtain wall and landing on Chen Xiaojun's back below. He murmured, "Ah Zhang, did you see that? Xiaojun... I've already guessed this was your doing."

Chen Zhang stood to the side, his face bearing a complex expression that mixed helplessness with a hint of a bitter smile.

He said, "It's not hard to guess. The elders who can let Xiaoyi do whatever she wants are none other than your eldest uncle, your third uncle, or me. Among them, I am indeed the most suspicious."

He shook his head helplessly: "Today, I did tell Xiaoyi that we could do something big in this battle, but I didn't expect her to pull off such a world-shaking move as a 100,000-year soul ring."

Chen Menglin's voice was calm but went straight to the point: "You are after fame and fortune, but she is like a dragon soaring in the sky, smashing a hole in the heavens."

Chen Zhang's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "She is different from my mother and sister-in-law. If she wants to become the matriarch of the Chen family, she needs to establish her own domain. But..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room, which was now deathly silent with shock, and continued in a deep voice, "We all underestimated her magnanimity and vision."

"Listen, the entire place is becoming increasingly deathly silent..."

He looked at Chen Menglin, his words carrying a penetrating force: "She wants to... use today's magnificent divine power to plant an indelible shadow of despair in the hearts of countless so-called geniuses present, both now and in the future!"

“My mother once told her: ‘The emperor shines like the blazing sun.’”

“In the past few days, she has displayed one amazing inheritance after another, each one different and completely open and unreserved. What is the meaning of this?”

"This is a clear and open declaration to the world: she is not afraid of others' research and analysis, and she has no need to hide her talents!"

"She will ascend the ladder to heaven, looking down upon all living beings; she is the queen, reigning supreme for an entire generation!"

Finally, Chen Zhang's lips curled into an indescribable, playful smile as he glanced down at Chen Xiaojun: "I'm just curious now... how does our young master, who has ambitions for the world, feel now and in the future, being 'suppressed' by such a... radiant and ambitious 'wife'?"

Chen Menglin's lips also subtly curved into a smile, with a mischievous glint in them: "Isn't that just another one of your fathers?"

Chen Zhang: "..."
