Gu Rong and Chen Xin stood up, and Ning Rongrong immediately flew into Chen Xin's arms, while Gu Xuan slowly walked to Gu Rong's side.

"Grandpa, I've broken through to level 30." Gu Xuan glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was acting coquettishly with Chen Xin, and said helplessly to Gu Rong.

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Gu Rong was not surprised, but rather delighted.

A Soul Master at the age of twelve, or even just one week after turning twelve, is a record that is extremely rare on the entire continent.

Although Gu Rong had long been accustomed to his precious grandson's extraordinary talent, he was still excited every time Gu Xuan made a breakthrough, because each breakthrough meant breaking a record—a record within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Even Chen Xin and he didn't achieve this much when Gu Xuan was that age.

This doesn't even include Gu Xuan's mature-beyond-his-years mentality and his passion for learning.

"Good, good, good!" Gu Rong said three times, then continued, "Xuan'er, I have found your third spirit ring, and it is currently locked up in the arena."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan smiled. This was the advantage of having power and connections; he didn't need to spend time and energy painstakingly searching for suitable soul rings.

Gu Xuan only needs to make a request, and someone will arrange everything. In the end, he can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

It is precisely because of this that most commoner Soul Masters find it difficult to start from scratch, while the Soul Master forces become stronger and stronger over time.

Chen Xin, who was standing to the side, patted Ning Rongrong's little head and said to Gu Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, are you sure there's no problem with your third soul ring absorbing a three-thousand-year-level soul ring? Although I know your foundation, there are still some risks involved."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan smiled at Chen Xin and said, "Second Master, please rest assured. When have you ever seen me do anything without being sure of success?"

After a pause, Gu Xuan looked at Gu Rong again and continued, "I value my life very much. I need to save this little life for my grandfather and for you to take care of yourselves in your old age."

Hearing Gu Xuan's confident answer, Chen Xin immediately stopped trying to dissuade him, because Gu Xuan was right about one thing: this kid wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't sure of winning.

However, Chen Xin was just worried and confused. After all, Gu Xuan's second soul ring was a 600-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was comparable to a thousand-year-old soul beast. Even a soul master's third soul ring would be better than that of a 600-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Three thousand years is a conservative estimate, made to avoid worrying Gu Rong, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi.

Of course, the soul beasts that Gu Xuan selected were all top-tier bloodlines. Their three-thousand-year level was comparable to that of ordinary soul beasts, and their quality was at least at the six-thousand-year level.

Gu Xuan always strives for perfection when it comes to choosing spirit rings. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste not to use the great resource of his grandfather, a super fighter?

"Since you're confident, let's go," Gu Rong suggested with a wave of his hand.

Gu Xuan had naturally intended to do so for a long time. He wanted to absorb his third soul ring as soon as possible and then head to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where great opportunities awaited him. If he went too late, his home might be robbed.

Following Gu Rong and Chen Xin, Gu Xuan held Ning Rongrong's small hand and walked behind them, occasionally whispering to Ning Rongrong and answering Gu Rong and Chen Xin's questions.

Soon, the group arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's arena.

The arena was built in the same area as the martial arts arena of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The purpose of the arena was to use the ferocity of soul beasts to hone the disciples of the sect who were used to being pampered within the sect.

Although there are occasional sparring matches, they are different from actually fighting spirit beasts.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is a large and powerful family, so it's impossible for them to support idle people. Therefore, the arena is a very important place.

The steward in charge of the arena is named Na Yuan. He is over sixty years old, an 85th-level Soul Douluo, and an elder of the sect. He grew up in the sect since childhood.

Seeing that Chen Xin and Gu Rong had arrived at the arena at the same time, Na Yuan immediately went down to greet them personally.

"Elder Jian, Elder Gu, why have you two come in person? Do you perhaps wish to check on the disciples' training?" Na Yuan said respectfully, cupping his hands in greeting.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin and Gu Rong glanced at Gu Xuan, and then Gu Rong said, "Then, steward, you should still remember the three-thousand-year-old spine sword dragon that I put in the arena before, right?"

Na Yuan nodded upon hearing this, then glanced at Gu Xuan and guessed, "Could it be that Young Master Xuan has broken through?"

Gu Xuan nodded and replied, "Then the steward guessed correctly. That spine-spine sword dragon is the soul ring that my grandfather prepared for me."

However, after Gu Xuan confirmed it, Yuan frowned again. Although the spine sword dragon was only a little over three thousand years old, its quality was more than enough for a Soul Master's fourth Soul Ring.

However, although Gu Xuan is exceptionally talented, he was only around level 20 when I last saw him, and now he has at most broken through level 30. Could it be that his third soul ring is a three-thousand-year soul ring in each hand and head?

Na Yuan had many doubts, but he didn't say much. The fact that he could sit in this position proved that he was also a shrewd person. He understood the principle of not asking questions that shouldn't be asked.

Na Yuan suppressed these doubts in his heart and walked ahead to lead the way for the group: "Elder Jian, Elder Gu, this way please."

Chen Xin and Gu Rong nodded and followed, while Gu Xuan pulled Ning Rongrong along behind them.

As they walked, Ning Rongrong whispered to Gu Xuan, "Brother Gu Xuan, are you going to absorb a three-thousand-year-level spirit ring for your third spirit ring?"

Gu Xuan nodded and replied, "That's right, otherwise Grandpa wouldn't have brought me here."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong frowned slightly and whispered, "Brother Gu Xuan, are you crazy? Your second spirit ring is only six hundred years old, and the limit for your third spirit ring is seventeen hundred years. What if you break the limit like this and something dangerous happens?"

Although Ning Rongrong didn't like cultivation, she still had a lot to learn, and she had no choice but to do so, after all, she was a young lady from a prominent family.

Ning Rongrong knew all the basic knowledge about Soul Masters, such as the theory of the limits of Soul Rings.

The limit of the third spirit ring is only a little over 1,700 years, but Gu Xuan wants to absorb a spirit ring of 3,000 years. Isn't that courting death?

She had heard that many people forcibly absorbed soul rings because they couldn't discern the specific age of the soul beast, and in the end, they all died from their bodies exploding. The best outcome was that their meridians were severed, and they would never be able to cultivate again.

Ning Rongrong didn't want her Gu Xuan brother to become like that, so the worry on her little face was already showing.

Hearing Ning Rongrong's concern, Gu Xuan couldn't help but pat her head and gently explain, "I know Rongrong is worried about me, but don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do."

"But..." Ning Rongrong wanted to say something more.

Gu Xuan affectionately pinched her little cheek and said, "How about this, I'll personally defeat that spine dragon later. If I can defeat it, won't I have the strength to absorb a soul ring?"

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Ning Rongrong tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Okay, I'll cheer for Brother Gu Xuan!"
