After successfully condensing her Soul Ring, Xiao Wu and Tang San were inseparable, overflowing with deep affection and tenderness for one another. Because she had once again condensed a Soul Ring that exceeded her normal limits, Xiao Wu's strength had skyrocketed.
She was now already a Rank 53 Soul King powerhouse. Even though the medicinal efficacy of the immortal herb, the Yearning Heartbroken Red, could no longer directly increase Xiao Wu's soul power, her cultivation level still utterly crushed everyone else.
In all likelihood, even Yu Tianheng was no longer as high-ranked as her. On the other side, seeing Xiao Wu make such massive progress, Tang San was genuinely happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since he found out that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form, a string in his heart had always been pulled tight with tension.
Although Xiao Wu had consumed the Yearning Heartbroken Red and could no longer be perceived in her true form under normal circumstances, the Douluo Continent possessed God Inheritances after all.
He would never place absolute, blind faith in the effects of an immortal herb alone. An increase in Xiao Wu's own strength was the best protection she could give herself. He could not guarantee he would be able to protect her one hundred percent of the time.
At this moment, Tang Ni gazed at Xiao Wu.
As she thought about Xiao Wu's heaven-defying soul skill and her exaggerated soul power rank, a sudden sense of urgency sprouted within her heart. Even this silly rabbit had become stronger than her; how could she possibly tolerate this?
Tang Ni quickly made a silent resolution to double her cultivation intensity. Furthermore, she decided that once she returned to Di Tian's side, she would absolutely demand some Life Gold from him to consume.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lin was still busy recording the arrangement of the light specks from the self-condensed Soul Ring. Some of the misplaced and chaotic sequences he had misremembered were being corrected one by one under the reminders of the two Great Dragon Kings.
Of course, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings definitely hadn't memorized the precise arrangement of the light specks from Xiao Wu's self-condensation.
It was simply because the two Dragon Kings were incredibly knowledgeable and immensely powerful, allowing them to instinctively perceive that certain sequences were logically flawed.
Whether Xiao Lin would ultimately be able to replicate Xiao Wu's fifth soul skill in the future remained an unknown. It could turn out to be a low-tier copy, a same-level skill that diverged into an entirely different direction, or perhaps even an enhanced version.
Naturally, it was also entirely possible that it would end in a complete failure.
Programming a self-condensed Soul Ring from scratch was simply too difficult.
This was a ground-zero learning experience for Xiao Lin, and he did not expect to achieve success on his very first try. As long as he could get this Soul Ring "code" to run, it didn't matter if it was riddled with bugs.
While Tang San and the others were still waiting for Xiao Lin to finish recording the process, a different scene was unfolding elsewhere.
At the entrance of the Thunder Gorge...
A youth whose appearance bore a striking resemblance to Yu Tianheng had arrived at the entrance of the Thunder Gorge, accompanied by two companions.
This person was none other than Yu Tianxin of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His two companions were Lei Dong and Lei Tian from Thunder Academy.
Yu Tianxin had brought Lei Dong and Lei Tian here for no other reason than to help his teammates obtain their Soul Rings. Unlike Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin belonged to Thunder Academy, and the path he walked was one of extreme lightning cultivation.
However, even though Yu Tianxin pursued the path of extreme lightning, his mastery over the Dragon Transformation secret technique was also exceptionally profound.
Daring to enter the Thunder Gorge to hunt for Soul Rings with only two companions was, in itself, a testament to his confidence in his own strength. Yet, the moment Yu Tianxin arrived at the Thunder Gorge, his brows instantly furrowed.
"Captain, you said you wanted us to come to the Thunder Gorge to obtain high-quality lightning-attribute soul beast Soul Rings, but are you sure we really don't need to call an academy teacher?"
Lei Dong watched the continuous bolts of thunder crashing down inside the Thunder Gorge, his lips twitching slightly. Could they really enter a place like this without a Soul Emperor powerhouse protecting them?
Hearing Lei Dong's words, Lei Tian also nodded in agreement. His Martial Soul was the Thunder Hawk, which allowed him to fly in the sky. But looking at the lightning lurking within those dark clouds, he wouldn't dare fly into the air here.
If he couldn't fly, he wouldn't be able to obtain a flying-type soul beast Soul Ring suited for his Martial Soul. He couldn't possibly disregard his own life just to fly into the sky and battle those soul beasts, right?
Yu Tianxin did not pay attention to his two companions' complaints. Frowning slightly, he walked straight over to a patch of lush Blue Silver Grass and parted the leaves to look inside.
Lei Dong and Lei Tian followed curiously behind Yu Tianxin. To their shock, the guards of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were actually lying unconscious right inside the grass.
Seeing this sight, Lei Dong and Lei Tian's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Isn't this place under the jurisdiction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Someone actually dared to beat up people from our clan!"
"Holy cow! Impressive, truly impressive."
Lei Dong and Lei Tian could not help but cry out in amazement.
Immediately afterward, the two of them looked nervously at Yu Tianxin. Had something happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Would their captain be in danger?
Clap! Clap!
Yu Tianxin propped the two guards up into a proper sitting position and tapped them lightly on their backs. Following a brief surge of soul power, the two guards gradually woke up.
"Uncles, what happened to you?" Yu Tianxin asked softly as he helped them up.
Though Yu Tianxin asked the question, he had already deduced most of what had happened from the surrounding environment. It was nothing more than someone wanting to enter the Thunder Gorge to obtain a Soul Ring.
When stopped by his two clan uncles, they had knocked them unconscious. Placing them inside this patch of Blue Silver Grass, which possessed a concealment ability, was clearly done to prevent the two uncles from being eaten by soul beasts.
Since the perpetrator's actions showed they didn't want to genuinely infuriate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianxin wasn't particularly angry. Soon, with the explanation from the two guards, Yu Tianxin instantly understood the whole story.
As it turned out, Xiao Lin and his group had come here.
Yu Tianxin narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind racing as he contemplated his next move.
Based on his two uncles' descriptions of the group's appearances and the unique Blue Silver Grass, Yu Tianxin was completely certain that it was Xiao Lin's group. Due to the massive changes in Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin had previously paid close attention to Xiao Lin and his friends.
However, according to the intelligence Yu Tianxin possessed, Xiao Lin and the others should have obtained their fourth Soul Rings a long time ago. Coming here to obtain a Soul Ring now... could it mean they had already reached Rank 50 and become Soul Kings?
Thinking up to this point, Yu Tianxin could not help but gasp sharply.
He was deeply shaken by his own speculation. If he remembered correctly, Xiao Lin and the others were only twelve years old, right? Even if a new year was just two months away, they would at most be thirteen by nominal age.
Simply terrifying! Truly terrifying!
Leaving soul bones aside, even a master like Grandmaster Xiao Yan couldn't possibly enable them to become Soul Kings at the age of twelve. Recalling Yu Tianheng's transformation once more, a dark and sinister thought suddenly sprouted within Yu Tianxin's mind.
However, he did not have the confidence to defeat Xiao Lin's group. Should he go ask his grandfather and the others for help?
If they secretly captured Xiao Lin and his group, the benefits to his own Martial Soul and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would far outweigh the disadvantages. But would doing so offend Grandmaster Xiao Yan?
Yu Tianxin was caught in a fierce internal dilemma, a conflicted expression twisting across his face. After a short while, Yu Tianxin ultimately chose to abandon the idea of capturing Xiao Lin and the others.
The reason was simple.
Ever since a research paper exposed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's medicinal bath six years ago, numerous clans and factions had approached the clan for cooperation. With so many people around, eyes and ears were everywhere.
If those outsiders found out, it would be the end of them.
Furthermore, Yu Tianheng had also mentioned that they should only form good relations with Xiao Lin and the others, and never make things difficult for them. Don't just assume Xiao Lin only had Grandmaster Xiao Yan backing him up.
In reality, the factions standing behind Xiao Lin included Dugu Bo, an unknown Titled Douluo powerhouse, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, the Heaven Dou Empire, and various other forces.
Those other factions would never sit idly by and let the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan monopolize the benefits. Having made his decision, Yu Tianxin no longer felt any psychological burden. He prepared to establish good terms with Xiao Lin and the others.
By exchanging mutual benefits, he might be able to obtain the same advantages Yu Tianheng did.
A moment later, Yu Tianxin stopped his two clan uncles from reporting the incident to the clan.
