"Wu Lin."
"Miss Ouyang's Fifth Soul Ring will soon be fully condensed."
On the other side, Tree Elder looked at Tang Wulin, who was standing guard in front of Ouyang Zixin, and smiled kindly.
"Yes, Tree Elder."
"Thank you. Zi Xin's improvement this time..."
"It's truly enormous."
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin gazed at Ouyang Zixin, whose aura was gradually stabilizing, unable to hide the joy on his face.
Over this period, with Tree Elder's assistance, Zi Xin had undergone tremendous improvements in every aspect.
Her current cultivation had reached the bottleneck of level 50, which went without saying, but the quality of her Martial Soul had also advanced far beyond the formerly weak Blue Silver Grass, becoming incomparably stronger.
All that remained was for the Soul Ring formed by Tree Elder's energy to fully manifest, marking the complete end of this energy absorption.
I wonder what level Zi Xin's Fifth Soul Ring will reach... Could it possibly be a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?
"No need for thanks."
"Helping you brings me joy as well."
Tree Elder shook his head with a smile. Though the young man before him was Tang San's son, he was also the sworn brother who had grown up with Lord Luo Chuan. Even if they weren't related by blood...
The bond between them was something no one could change.
By aiding Lord Luo Chuan's younger brother, not only might he receive far greater benefits in the future, but at the very least, the other party would surely safeguard the future of the Douluo Plane...
That alone was the best outcome.
"Tree Elder, Zi Xin's Soul Ring..."
However, as he slowly observed the Soul Ring materializing around Ouyang Zixin, Tang Wulin couldn't help but freeze momentarily.
Black, black, black, black!
These four Soul Rings were Ouyang Zixin's original configuration—perfectly normal.
But now, above the fourth black Soul Ring, a faintly glowing green Soul Ring had quietly appeared...
"A green Soul Ring..."
"What kind of Soul Ring is this?"
Tang Wulin widened his eyes, unable to hold back his question.
He had heard of Tang San from twenty thousand years ago, who once possessed a red-gold Soul Ring, and Dai Yuhao, Tang San's son-in-law who left his mark in history ten thousand years ago, who even wielded a white-gold Soul Ring...
But a green Soul Ring...
What in the world was this?
"Well..."
Tree Elder was about to explain when Ouyang Zixin, who had been meditating for an entire month, finally slowly opened her eyes.
"Wu Lin!"
The moment she opened her eyes, Ouyang Zixin saw Tang Wulin standing right in front of her and instantly exclaimed in delight, immediately throwing herself into his arms.
After absorbing energy for so long, waking up to see her beloved waiting for her—how could she not be overjoyed?
"Zi Xin..."
"How do you feel?"
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Tang Wulin hugged her back gently, his voice tender.
"Hah, Wu Lin..."
"My Martial Soul has evolved! It's no longer Blue Silver Grass but the true Blue Silver King Martial Soul, possessing top-tier vitality. Look..."
Hearing this, Ouyang Zixin reluctantly pulled away slightly and released her Martial Soul.
In an instant, strands of Blue Silver Grass brimming with dense life energy materialized, radiating a brilliant glow.
"Not just that, Tree Elder's energy was so powerful that it even granted me a Fifth Soul Ring—one that feels incredibly warm too..."
"Huh?"
Ouyang Zixin spoke as she willed her Soul Power, and five Soul Rings instantly appeared—black, black, black, black… green?
"Ah?"
"This is my Fifth Soul Ring?"
Staring at the Soul Ring, Ouyang Zixin widened her eyes in bewilderment and exclaimed in surprise.
"Tree Elder, this Fifth Soul Ring..."
"What exactly is going on here?"
Tang Wulin was equally confused and asked.
"This? It's a Soul Ring formed from the Life energy based on my abundant vitality. Naturally, it's quite different from the Soul Rings brought by conventional Soul Beasts or Soul Spirits..."
Tree Elder chuckled and shook his head, explaining softly. He had used Life energy as the medium to bestow this Fifth Soul Ring upon her, making it unique.
"So..."
"That's how it is."
Tang Wulin nodded thoughtfully, speaking slowly.
"Exactly."
"When Wu Lin breaks through to seven rings, the Soul Ring I bring you will also be of this caliber..."
Tree Elder laughed heartily before continuing.
The energy of the Soul Rings he provided had no specific age limit, but he dared to guarantee that not even the wife of the God of the Realm on the entire Douluo Continent...
Could bring forth such a Soul Ring!
"Then I'll thank Tree Elder in advance."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up.
Life-based energy!
This couldn't be better. His main Martial Soul was the Golden Dragon King, representing slaughter and vitality—its strength was beyond question, but its healing abilities...
Heh, who wouldn't want even greater power?
Fighting while recovering...
Would be a great approach in the future!
"Tree Elder, since Zi Xin has finished absorbing it, we won't disturb you any longer."
"We'll take our leave now."
Tang Wulin quickly regained his composure and, after a brief exchange, spoke respectfully.
"Alright, you two go ahead."
Tree Elder gave him a knowing look. A month without communication must have been tough for the young couple.
"Goodbye, Tree Elder."
Tang Wulin took Ouyang Zixin's hand, bowed to Tree Elder, and then quickly headed toward the outer academy.
"Zi Xin, you wouldn't believe it..."
On the way back, he eagerly shared with her about how his Brother was the Child of Nature.
"Eh?"
"Brother is the Child of Nature too?"
Ouyang Zixin was stunned, sighing in amazement.
Child of Nature...
It sounded incredibly powerful, perfectly matching her impression of Wu Lin's Brother—that genius.
"Yeah, isn't it amazing?"
Tang Wulin grinned and said earnestly.
"Hmm..."
"That's true, but in my eyes, you're the most incredible."
Ouyang Zixin shook her head gently and spoke bluntly.
"Eh? Eh? Eh..."
"Zi Xin! I... I'm not that amazing!"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin froze, his face flushing as he stumbled over his words.
"I'm just telling the truth..."
"In my eyes, you're the best."
Ouyang Zixin hummed lightly and giggled.
As she spoke, under his flustered gaze, she lightly kissed his cheek.
Being with Wu Lin...
Was the happiest thing in her life.
And in her heart, there would never be anyone better than Wu Lin!
"Who would have thought..."
"Tang San really raised a fine son."
Tree Elder watched the two figures depart, especially noting the other's simple and shy demeanor, and couldn't help but smile.
This Tang Wulin...
Truly a Tang family member unlike any other in the Tang family!
