Chapter 287 Tang Shenwang's First Soul Ring in Ten Years

"Well, it seems like there's nothing good today. Let's come back another time."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was speaking to the steward.

"Heh~"

Upon hearing this, the deacon merely gave a mocking laugh.

"If you don't have money, just say so. And you don't even have good stuff. Why weren't you so generous when you had good stuff before?"

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened.

The steward shook his head, as if he had already anticipated that Yu Xiaogang wouldn't spend any money today. He then walked away on his own, signaling that Yu Xiaogang and Tang San could leave. As he walked, he muttered to himself intentionally or unintentionally.

"Good stuff. Speaking of this makes me angry... I don't know which damned person it was, but when I was taking inventory last night, I found that those two top-grade hundred-year-old soul ring inner cores, which were practically the store's treasures, were stolen. As a result, all the high-quality soul ring inner cores in the store have been removed from the shelves today, and we are preparing to do a major inventory."

Behind the steward, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, having overheard this, both showed a slightly different expression. Tang San was deep in thought, while Yu Xiaogang's expression was quite complex.

A moment later, the two left the Spirit Branch Hall and returned to Notting Academy without stopping. Yu Xiaogang then led Tang San back to her dormitory.

"Teacher, you seemed hesitant to say something the whole way here, is something wrong?"

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had walked behind the wooden table, and asked.

Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San a deep look before saying, "Little San, actually, your first spirit ring has already been secured."

"Oh?"

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Tang San's face.

"Didn't the Spirit Hall not put any high-quality spirit rings or inner cores on sale today? Could it be that, teacher, you...?"

"Of course, your teacher won't let you just absorb some ordinary stuff, or force your future to be realized for the sake of short-term pleasure. Your teacher won't do that."

After all, you are one of the hopes for clearing the teacher's name...

Yu Xiaogang shook her head.

"I won't hide it from you, your first spirit ring actually arrived last night. But this morning I wanted to take you to see if there was a more suitable one. It... came from a powerful expert. Anyway, you'll know the details later."

Upon hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Tang San's face again. Combining this with his experience in the Spirit Hall just now, he instantly thought of a certain possibility.

Although he didn't draw a conclusion directly, when Yu Xiaogang slowly took out a box from under the wooden table, and when he keenly noticed that the hidden compartment of the box Yu Xiaogang took out seemed to reveal the corner of another box, he became even more certain of his thoughts.

Perhaps, the two top-grade hundred-year soul ring inner cores that were stolen from the Martial Soul Branch Hall are now in Yu Xiaogang's hands!

Regarding the "strong person" mentioned by Yu Xiaogang, Tang San thought for a moment. His first guess was someone like Flander, but he quickly dismissed it. After all, he had just become Yu Xiaogang's disciple yesterday, and besides, Soto City was not close to Notting City.

So, could it be that...

Tang San finally pictured his father in his mind. That domineering figure did not collapse because of the current situation; instead, it made Tang San feel an even stronger sense of "love".

Afterwards, Yu Xiaogang explained the "top-grade 400-year-old soul ring inner core" in his hand to Tang San. Tang San listened and nodded. In his opinion, as long as this inner core was really no different from a soul beast soul ring and could support his breakthrough of the Xuan Tian Gong, then it should be better than the Mandala Snake soul ring that he absorbed in his previous life.

That should be enough for now... right?

Tang San suddenly recalled the information about Wang Zhao that Yu Xiaogang had told him yesterday.

That guy's first spirit ring was normal, and his second spirit ring, although a bit outrageous, was still acceptable. But when he got to the third and fourth spirit rings, they started to get outrageous. After all, in his previous life, Tang San only managed to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring ahead of time in his fourth spirit ring after consuming three great immortal herbs.

Not to mention Wang Zhao's astonishing 100,000-year fifth spirit ring... In Tang San's view, there was no other possibility than that it came from a 100,000-year spirit beast offering itself up.

But there are only a handful of 100,000-year-old soul beasts on the continent. What's going on with that guy?

Tang San was completely baffled.

While pondering, Tang San had already taken the soul ring inner core handed over by Yu Xiaogang. He looked at the slightly mysterious color on it, paused for a moment, and then swallowed it.

Then, Tang San closed his eyes slightly and immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot. Yu Xiaogang moved a chair and sat next to him to protect him and observe Tang San's changes in the future. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

At this moment, in the ethereal and elusive void, Wang Zhao's lips curled slightly.

"The show is about to begin."

On the other side, Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in Yu Xiaogang's dormitory, had already felt a little warm energy gradually emerging in his body. He then started to circulate the Xuan Tian Gong to prepare to deal with and digest the "mad energy" that he was about to face.

In his previous life, he felt somewhat uncomfortable when he first absorbed the Mandala Serpent Soul Ring. Although he expected that the Xuan Tian Gong power stored in his body was much stronger than in his previous life, he still needed to be careful with the energy of this Soul Ring's inner core.

Of course, while absorbing and digesting the energy in his body, Tang San also prepared to explore the truth about this soul ring and inner core. He thought that as the former Great God King Tang, there was no reason why he wouldn't understand something that the so-called Angel God could issue.

If we can thoroughly study the inner core of the spirit ring, it will be another sharp sword against the Spirit Hall in the future!

Tang San pondered his own little scheme and soon sensed that something was amiss.

The energy within him seems...

A bit docile?

Tang San paused for a moment, thinking that this might be the difference between an inner core spirit ring and a spirit beast spirit ring. In his previous life, the energy of the Mandragora Serpent spirit ring he absorbed was extremely wild and turbulent.

However, Tang San's heart soon sank completely.

Because at this moment, he realized that the energy of the inner core soul ring he had absorbed was not just as docile as it seemed.

Its internal energy is simply...

少！

A pitifully small number!

According to Yu Xiaogang, isn't this a top-grade soul ring inner core that's over four hundred years old? How can it contain so little energy?!

Tang San was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but once the process of absorbing and condensing the spirit ring began, it was impossible to stop unless a Title Douluo-level expert was present and could keenly sense the abnormality within his body and forcibly interrupt it.

Otherwise, even he, who was once the king of gods, would not have been able to stop!

That Yu Xiaogang guy, that wretched piece of trash, how can he be so unreliable?

A hint of resentment welled up in Tang San's heart, and with a feeling of unease, he finally completed the task...

Absorption of the "Ten Years" Soul Ring Inner Core.
