Douluo V: I intercepted Xiao Wu at the start, and I tricked Tang San into becoming crippled.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the blue advanced card, Invulnerability to All Poisons."

Upon seeing the extra blue card in his system space, Xiao Chen's lips curled into a slight smile.

With this immunity to all poisons, even if Tang San suddenly becomes more perceptive and stops believing his tricks, and even turns against him, he won't be afraid.

He's not as good at fighting as I am, and he's not afraid of poisoning me.

In that case, what threat would Tang San pose to him?

Being invincible is so lonely!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining a blue low-level card, Soul Ring Disguise."

"Note: Soul Ring Disguise allows you to disguise your soul ring as any soul ring of a lower age than your own. The aura and appearance can be perfectly disguised without any flaws."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a purple low-level card and a random ten-thousand-year soul ring gift pack!"

"Note: The Random Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring Gift Pack can be opened to randomly obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring that perfectly matches your own, and it can be perfectly absorbed without any side effects or risks."

Disguised Soul Rings + Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings?

Perfect.

Now, even if his first spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, no one will covet it.

As for absorbing spirit rings?

Now is clearly not the best time.

After all, he hadn't left Notting Academy, so how could he have obtained a spirit ring? If he absorbed it, people would definitely be suspicious.

No rush, you can use it when you go to the Soul Hunting Forest later.

Thinking that his first spirit ring was ten thousand years, Xiao Chen's smile became even brighter.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu assumed he was happy that everyone could eat together, so she didn't pay any attention.

Her delicate body pressed against Xiao Chen, her head lowered, she took a bite of Xiao Chen's carrot and a bite of food from the second floor of the cafeteria, her face filled with happiness.

So excited, she gripped the sandwich too tightly, causing cream to splatter all over her face.

Xiao Wu wasn't embarrassed at all in this situation; instead, she looked innocent and giggled.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly.

"This is a nice sight. Perhaps one day in the future, the cream can be replaced with something else. Hmm, the future looks promising!"

……

same moment.

Inside a room at Notting College.

"Little San, when you get back, prepare well. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for your first soul ring."

Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

Being humiliated in front of so many people by a child who said his theory had not been tested in practice made him feel extremely frustrated.

So, in order to prove himself, he went to the Soul Hunter Forest ahead of schedule!

Anyway, he is strong enough that helping Tang San obtain his first spirit ring would be no problem at all, and going there early wouldn't cause any issues.

"Okay, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's face immediately lit up with excitement, completely forgetting the awkwardness they had shared in the cafeteria earlier.

But soon, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes were filled with worry.

"Teacher, after I get my first spirit ring, will I be able to defeat Xiao Chen? He just defeated a one-ring spirit master in the cafeteria, and it was a complete rout..."

"You think too much."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang gently shook his head and began to explain.

"You just finished class today, so you should know that after your soul power cultivation reaches level ten, you need to hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings to advance further."

"You have innate full soul power, level 10, so you can now absorb your first soul ring."

"The soul rings that soul beasts of different strengths can provide are also different, and can be roughly divided into five levels. Ten-year soul beasts can provide white soul rings, hundred-year soul beasts can provide yellow soul rings, thousand-year soul beasts can provide purple soul rings, ten-thousand-year soul beasts can provide black soul rings, and one hundred-thousand-year soul beasts can provide blood-red soul rings."

"The student who was defeated by Xiao Chen only had a ten-year spirit ring as his first spirit ring, which is the lowest level."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang stood up from his chair.

With his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding a book, he looked confident.

"But you're different. The spirit ring I found for you is a hundred-year spirit ring, dozens of times older than that person's!"

"Dozens of times!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's worries vanished instantly.

Once he obtains the hundred-year soul ring, how could Xiao Chen possibly be his opponent?

Indeed, his decision to become a disciple of the master was the right one.

Xiao Chen probably still doesn't realize what incredible opportunity he missed!

"Teacher, what is the maximum number of years a first spirit ring can withstand?"

"No more, no less, exactly 423 years!"

Yu Xiaogang placed his right hand in front of him, seemingly pondering for a moment, before calmly speaking, his face filled with determination and confidence.

"!"

Such confidence, and such precise numbers!

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's current appearance, Tang San's eyes were filled with admiration.

Yu Xiaogang naturally saw him like this, and his pride was immediately satisfied.

"Little San, the spirit ring I plan to prepare for you will be around four hundred years old, which will definitely be able to perfectly bring out your talent."

"It's getting late, go back and prepare properly."

But soon, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have thought of something, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

Then, he spoke again, calling out to Tang San, who was about to leave.

"Xiao San, you can also invite Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu along."

"Teacher, why did you bring Xiao Chen along?"

Tang San's face was full of doubt.

He had no objections to bringing Xiao Wu along; in fact, he was very happy.

That way he could be alone with Xiao Wu and then increase her affection for him through methods like rescuing her from a damsel in distress.

As for Xiao Chen, he had absolutely no intention of letting the other party follow him and gain the opportunity to acquire a soul ring.

Once he obtains a hundred-year spirit ring, he will definitely be able to crush Xiao Chen, who has not yet obtained a spirit ring!

"I know what you're worried about. You're afraid he'll get a spirit ring too, right?"

Yu Xiaogang said nonchalantly.

Tang San nodded.

"You're overthinking it. Soul beasts are powerful and ferocious; they're not so easy to kill."

"That's why I didn't let you go alone, because if the three of you went to hunt soul beasts, you'd either die or lose half your lives!"

"Bring Xiao Chen along. I'll help you obtain your first spirit ring first, and then you can immediately defeat him and prove yourself!"

That brat Xiao Chen dares to say in front of so many people that he hasn't practiced it?

He'll put it into practice and show the other person tomorrow!

"Is there any chance that he might get a hundred-year-old soul ring?"

Tang San tentatively asked.

"impossible."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang decisively rejected it.

"When hunting soul beasts, only the person who delivers the final blow can absorb the soul ring of that soul beast."

"In short, even if Xiao Chen is incredibly lucky, he would still have to encounter a severely injured hundred-year-old soul beast. However, even a severely injured hundred-year-old soul beast would only need one strike to kill Xiao Chen!"

"Even a ten-year-old soul beast might be difficult for Xiao Chen to defeat. If he's unlucky, he might even be killed by a higher-aged one. So, if he wants to obtain the number one soul ring of the century, he can only humbly beg us for help."

Once Xiao Chen backs down, he can pretend to be magnanimous, forgive Xiao Chen, and make his own demands.

They kidnapped Xiao Chen under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude, forcing him to become their disciple!

Xiao Chen, you can't escape my grasp.

You are destined to be the test subject for my theories for the rest of your life!
