She looked at the enormous corpse of the Purple Spirit Wolf with a hint of regret, and sighed softly, "Alas, what a pity for this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. None of us were able to absorb its soul ring."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ranyu was somewhat confused and asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't you say you were level 40?" "Yes! Exactly level 40."

"Then it should be able to absorb this 13,000-year-old Purple Spirit Wolf, right?"

"what?"

His words were like a thunderclap, causing an uproar among the crowd, but Luo Ranyu remained calm.

Ye Wuqing exclaimed in disbelief, "That's impossible! My fourth spirit ring is over eight thousand years old, and it's extremely difficult to absorb. Who absorbs a ten-thousand-year spirit ring with their second spirit ring? Kid, tell me your spirit power level first, and how many years old is your first spirit ring?"

In Ye Wuqing's opinion, Luo Ranyu must be completely ignorant of the common knowledge about soul ring absorption to say such uninformed things.

Luo Ranyu was also puzzled. It was just a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, so why couldn't they absorb it as their fourth spirit ring?

But then he thought, if they don't want it, wouldn't that be a good deal for him?

Thinking of this, he naturally spread his hands, activated his soul power, and the three elements of fire, ice, and lightning lit up behind him. There were also three elements swirling around in his palms, and a purple-black soul ring rose from the soles of his feet. It was a purple 8000-year soul ring.

The purple aura instantly shocked everyone! Furthermore, the depth of the soul ring's color indicated that it must be over 5000 years old.

Ye Wuqing was speechless, his gaze blank, and he was greatly alarmed:

"His first spirit ring is a purple thousand-year spirit ring? How is that possible? No one on the Douluo Continent has ever absorbed a thousand-year spirit ring as their first spirit ring, let alone one that is clearly over five thousand years old!"

"Is this his martial soul? Flame, ice, lightning—is it three martial souls or just one?"

Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Luo Ranyu didn't explain anything. She simply retracted her spirit ring, then shifted her gaze to Yu Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei, and said softly:

"Sister Mengdi, my current soul power level is level 20, and I need my second soul ring. If you don't need this Purple Spirit Wolf's soul ring, could you give it to me? The absorption process won't take you too long."

At this moment, Yu Mengdi recovered from her shock, but she was still somewhat worried:

"Ranyu, are you sure you want to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring directly? It would be very dangerous if your body couldn't handle it!"

Luo Ranyu nodded firmly, a confident smile playing on her lips, her eyes bright and clear: "Yes! Of course!"

After the ambush and killing of the Purple Spirit Wolf, and after witnessing the boy's martial spirit and spirit rings, everyone suddenly felt a bit more favorably disposed towards him and became curious about him. Luo Ranyu persuaded them to believe that she was able to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Half an hour later, he stood up from his meditation, took a deep breath to stabilize his breathing, and Luo Ranyu absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring into her three-element martial soul as her second soul ring.

"Wow, it's absorbed it all so quickly?" Yang Bufan's eyes widened in disbelief.

He subconsciously turned to look at Ye Wuqing and teased, "Captain, how long did it take you to absorb your fourth spirit ring last time?"

Ye Wuqing's lips twitched slightly, and she glared at him fiercely: "Uh... get lost!"

Deep in the dense forest, within the thick canopy of trees, a shadow trembled slightly. A young girl emerged from the darkness, her exquisite face framed by golden hair that cascaded down her black cloak. The cloak's edges were embroidered with dark gold patterns that shimmered faintly in the dim light.

The hood of her cloak hung low, but it couldn't conceal her stunning beauty; only her brows held a hint of age and solemnity that seemed out of place for her.

Her purplish-red pupils contracted slightly as she gazed intently at the boy focused on absorbing the soul ring from afar, her expression complex.

"Damn it, I'm still a step too late." The girl's gaze swept over the academy students who were standing by in ambush. She thought to herself, "These people should just be a group of academy students. They're probably kind-hearted enough not to hurt him."

As she pondered, her gaze returned to the boy, her eyes softening with a mixture of tenderness and unwavering determination.

"Xiao Ran... Ten thousand years have passed, and you are still so astonishing, so dazzling."

"In my past life, you protected me for my entire life."

"In this life, let your older sister protect you."

"No matter how many thorns or dangers lie ahead, your sister will stand in front of you and clear away all obstacles for you."

The girl's figure slowly retreated, disappearing back into the dense shadows as if she had never existed.

After Luo Ranyu absorbed the spirit ring, the group continued forward, but dared not venture too deep. Finally, after three days of searching, Yu Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei both obtained their fourth spirit rings and returned to the Heavenly Soul Empire, arriving at Zhengtian Academy.

Before the wide gates of the academy, Yan'er bent down gently and suddenly asked, "Little Ranyu, do you really not remember where you're from?"

Luo Ranyu shook her head and said, "I really can't remember anything, but even though I have amnesia, at least I still remember my martial spirit."

Yan'er said playfully, "Hehe, I think you have good talent and get along well with us. Why don't you come and stay at our Zhengtian Academy for now, and we can talk about other things later?"

Luo Ranyu lowered her head and pondered for a moment. There really wasn't a good place for her to go at the moment, so she said, "I'm homeless now, so thank you all for taking me in." Subsequently, with the recommendation of Yu Mengdi and others, Luo Ranyu entered the first year of the outer academy of Zhengtian Academy.

In the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1 at Zhengtian Academy, a slender woman in a white shirt and black skirt adjusted her glasses and swept her sharp gaze across the class. "Classmates, we have a transfer student in our class today. Let's welcome her!" Then she looked at Luo Ranyu standing at the door. "Come in."

All eyes turned to her, but Luo Ranyu wasn't intimidated. She walked to the podium and began to introduce herself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Luo Ranyu. I hope to learn and grow together with you in the days to come."

He then gave a friendly smile. But suddenly, a snicker came from the back row. A blond boy, legs crossed, was rolling his textbook into a tube and tapping it on the table.

"Oh ho! Another one who got in through connections?" He deliberately dragged out his words, which drew snickers from the people around him.

Someone next to him asked, "Hey, kid, aren't you going to introduce your martial spirit and level? Hahaha!"

Luo Ranyu's heart tightened, and she said calmly, "Everyone has come here to learn, and for now, we're all learning theoretical knowledge. There's no need for us to get to know each other about our martial spirits, right? We'll naturally meet in the future when the opportunity arises."
