Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

"Furthermore, this triangular rhinoceros seems a bit off; it looks like it's in very poor condition, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with..."

"Damn it, I'm not reconciled!"

In other words, the triangular rhinoceros is very clumsy and seems to be not very bright, only knowing how to charge forward; otherwise, Chen Luo's situation would have been much worse.

It's already quite an achievement that Luo Sanpao's Thunderclap Cannon could break through the defense; to kill him, there's still a long way to go.

If Chen Luo had enough soul power, he would definitely have tried again, but the key is that his soul power is already insufficient.

This is the result after Luo Sanpao evolved; if it were before the evolution, it would probably have been finished long ago.

"One more shot, then we're ready to run. We can't win this fight!" Chen Luo took a deep breath, preparing for a final gamble.

Just then, Tang San, who had been silently watching from the back, suddenly spoke up: "Teacher, I have a way to help you kill the Triangular Rhinoceros, but you have to keep it a secret for me."

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback, then immediately nodded: "Give it a try, this is your last chance. Whether you succeed or fail, I will definitely keep your secret!"

In fact, Chen Luo had been waiting for Tang San to make a move, but according to the plot of the book, Tang San would never make a move unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, Chen Luo clearly remembered that after Tang San used hidden weapons and Tang Clan's secret techniques in the book, he even considered whether to kill Yu Xiaogang to silence him.

What a fine apprentice!

Now we can only rely on this good apprentice.

Tang San nodded with a solemn expression. After waiting for a moment, he suddenly raised his left hand, and a black light shot out silently.

"Pfft!"

A hidden dart struck the wound on the triangular rhinoceros's head with pinpoint accuracy, instantly plunging into its skull.

The triangular rhinoceros's vitality is also incredibly amazing. It didn't die immediately, but instead let out a painful roar before charging again.

Upon seeing this, Chen Luo immediately ordered Luo Sanpao: "Lei Zhenpao, fire!"

"boom!!!"

The golden gas, carrying a powerful impact, slammed into the triangular rhinoceros, causing its head to explode and ending its life.

"thump!"

Before the triangular rhinoceros could fall, Chen Luo collapsed to the ground. With the final blow completed, his remaining soul power was completely drained, leaving him somewhat exhausted.

After completing his attack, Luo Sanpao appeared rather dejected, lying on the ground panting heavily.

"That's it, the kill is done?"

Although he was sitting on the ground, Chen Luo's gaze remained fixed on the fallen carcass of the triangular rhinoceros. He saw purple light slowly condense, and then a purple halo slowly rose up.

If Chen Luo hadn't seen the purple millennium soul ring, he wouldn't have believed that the triangular rhinoceros had died just like that.

This kill... wasn't it a little too easy?

Tang San was also surprised and stood there stunned for a while before stepping forward to put away his hidden arrow and coming to Chen Luo's side, saying, "Teacher, I hope you can keep this a secret."

Chen Luo nodded: "Don't worry..."

Then he immediately began cultivating to restore his soul power.

I must recover my condition as soon as possible and then absorb the soul ring to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Upon seeing this, Tang San took the initiative to survey the surroundings, while Luo Sanpao struggled to his feet and also began his own survey.

After looking around, Tang San's gaze fell on Chen Luo, and he felt quite guilty.

"I'm such a jerk! My teacher was so good to me, and I actually had murderous thoughts towards her!"

"Marrow Cleansing Pill, Moonlit Night over the Twenty-Four Bridges..."

"They risked their lives to help me hunt spirit beasts and obtain spirit rings, but when they hunted spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings themselves, they worried about my safety..."

"They give me the best of everything and think of me in everything. Where can I find such a good teacher?"

"To survive in this world, hidden weapons will inevitably be revealed, and the Tang Sect's secret techniques I possess will be used without warning. How laughable! How utterly despicable! I actually wanted to kill my teacher to silence him for this so-called secret!!!"

"Once I have enough materials, I'll have to make a set of hidden weapons specifically for my teacher!"

About half an hour later, Chen Luo recovered and immediately went forward to absorb the soul ring.

The process of guiding the energy from the spirit ring into oneself went relatively smoothly.

This is the first spirit ring Chen Luo has acquired since coming into this world. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang had sufficient prior knowledge and practical experience, so there were no technical problems.

At first, everything went very smoothly.

However, as time went on, Chen Luo gradually noticed something was wrong.

The energy of this thousand-year-old soul ring exceeded his expectations. Could it be that this soul ring is not from around sixteen hundred years ago?

In Yu Xiaogang's memory, the limit for a Soul Master to absorb a third Soul Ring is about 1,700 years. After his body was strengthened, he should have been able to absorb a Soul Ring of 1,600 years very easily.

So, it's only been a short time, and they're already struggling? Won't they just explode and die later on?

What the heck? Did they misjudge the age of the soul beast?

However, in Yu Xiaogang's memory, the records about the triangular rhinoceros were based on the red rings on its largest horn. One ring was said to be three hundred years old, five rings would be one thousand five hundred years old, and the last ring, which was only a small part, would be about one thousand six hundred years old.

That's right. This spirit ring is always a little bit away from the limit, but it has obviously exceeded the limit. Otherwise, I wouldn't have this feeling.

As more and more energy was injected into his body, Chen Luo's expression gradually became painful.

He felt like his body was about to burst, and the process was never going to end.

Just as he was in so much pain that he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly saw a scene.

A strong triangular rhinoceros is pursuing a mate, but a rival intervenes, leading to a major battle between the two.

In the end, the strong triangular rhinoceros actually lost and suffered a severe head injury.

Triangular rhinoceroses have a decent ability to recover, but this time only the skin has recovered; the real wounds have not healed, and its skull is almost shattered.

Chen Luo could also clearly see the red rings on the triangular rhinoceros; there were actually six and a half rings!

Because the skin thickens as the wound heals, the red ring around the wound is covered up...

Chen Luo immediately understood everything. No wonder the triangular rhinoceros was so easy to deal with, and no wonder the soul ring was so difficult to absorb.

It turns out this was a 1,900-year-old injured triangular rhinoceros!

It was precisely because he was injured that he was able to kill him so easily.

It is precisely because its age is over 1,900 years, exceeding the limit for a Soul Master to absorb a third Soul Ring, that the absorption process is so difficult!

What was supposed to be a sure thing has turned into a disaster...

Chapter 11 The Soul Skill of a Six-Thousand-Year Soul Ring: Rampage and Charge!

The pain continued unabated, and after an unknown amount of time, a system notification suddenly sounded in Chen Luo's mind—

[Successfully devoured the beast soul - the Triangular Rhinoceros; the Divine Dragon Soul has been enhanced, and the Martial Soul level has been increased!]

The pain vanished instantly, replaced by unparalleled comfort, but unfortunately, this comfort didn't last long before it disappeared.

Immediately afterward, another system notification sounded in Chen Luo's mind—

[The age of your newly acquired spirit ring has been increased; the current age of your spirit ring is 6,000 years!]

As the notification sounded, Chen Luo clearly felt a powerful force suddenly emanating from within his body, helping him to become even stronger.

The feeling of becoming stronger was so exhilarating that Chen Luo forgot all his previous pain. In this moment, it seemed that all the previous suffering was worthwhile.

Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Luo realized that it was just dawn, indicating that it had taken him a long time to absorb the spirit ring.

With his gaze fixed on what was in front of him, Chen Luo saw a purple halo above two yellow halos. Its color was so deep and so beautiful.

"I've finally obtained this thousand-year soul ring, and my current soul power level has reached level thirty-three."

Chen Luo felt refreshed and full of energy.

The events that occurred when he absorbed the spirit ring replayed in his mind like a movie, allowing him to review them.

The reason why we can see the memories of the triangular rhinoceros is because of the existence of the Dragon Soul.

The Dragon Soul, from the Book of Dragon Inheritance, helped him strengthen his body and also helped Luo Sanpao complete his evolution.

Chen Luo had previously thought that as long as his soul power level increased, his body would be further strengthened, and Luo Sanpao would be able to evolve again.

Only now do we realize that he can only become stronger by absorbing a new soul ring and relying on the Dragon Soul.

The Dragon Soul can devour the souls of soul beasts to gain power, and incidentally also obtain a portion of the soul beast's memories.

The final increase in the age limit of Chen Luo's third spirit ring came from the reward he received for helping Tang San obtain the Mandragora Serpent spirit ring.

The Mandala Serpent Soul Ring has a lifespan of 410 years, and a tenfold return of 4100 years can be obtained by teaching a disciple.

This also confirms that the spirit ring of the triangular rhinoceros that Chen Luo absorbed truly exceeded the limit that ordinary spirit masters could withstand, and was 1,900 years old.

It was the absorption of the spirit ring beyond the limit that allowed Chen Luo's spirit power level to directly increase by three levels. Of course, this was also related to Yu Xiaogang's previous accumulation of spirit power level, which had remained at level twenty-nine.

"Teacher, you're finally awake!"

Tang San's voice came from ahead. Chen Luo looked up and saw Tang San and Luo Sanpao walking towards him.

Chen Luo got up and stretched. Even with just a simple movement, he could hear a series of cracking sounds from his joints.

When Tang San and Luo Sanpao came to stand in front of him, Chen Luo could clearly see the fatigue on Tang San's face, but even more so, an excited smile.

"Congratulations, teacher, on successfully absorbing the thousand-year soul ring!" Tang San congratulated him from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Luo smiled and nodded, then asked, "How many days has it been since you started absorbing the spirit ring?"

Tang San immediately replied, "It's been three days, teacher."

Chen Luo sighed, "It's been three days already, and we've finally succeeded..."

Tang San nodded vigorously: "Teacher, the process of absorbing the spirit ring must have been extremely difficult. I saw that you had an extremely painful expression for a long time. At the most dangerous time, the blood vessels in your body bulged, as if they were about to burst at any moment."

Chen Luo said, "Yes, I almost lost my life. From now on, I must be extremely careful to determine the age of the soul beast before absorbing a soul ring. The age of the triangular rhinoceros I absorbed was not the 1,600 years I judged, but 1,900 years!"

As he spoke, Chen Luo approached the carcass of the triangular rhinoceros, with the largest horn from its blown-open head right next to the body.

Chen Luo held out his hand to Tang San: "Short sword."

Tang San immediately handed over the short sword. After Chen Luo took the short sword, he scraped hard on the rhinoceros horn. A very thick layer of black substance was scraped away, revealing the red ring pattern underneath, which was covered by a ring and a half.
