However, Wang Teng wasn't particularly interested. A mere thousand or eight hundred Lord's Origin Points was just a matter of spending an extra day farming them when he reached a higher level; there was no need to be so high-profile.
Besides, if Wang Teng told his father that he wanted a thousand-year-old Soul Ring for his second Soul Ring, he was certain his father would absolutely forbid it. After all, no Soul Master in the Douluo Continent had ever had a thousand-year-old Soul Ring as their second, unless they possessed twin Martial Souls or had passed the Divine Trial.
Looking at the two Inherited Sets in his inventory, Wang Teng immediately changed out of his old equipment and donned the higher-grade gear.
A set of plate armor weighed over 30 jin (approximately 15 kg), and with the weight of his jewelry and weapon, Wang Teng was now carrying nearly 40 jin (approximately 20 kg). And Wang Teng was only a seven-and-a-half-year-old child; one could imagine how heavy the burden was on his seemingly thin shoulders.
If it weren't for the physical enhancement from the experience dungeon's "experience" boost, coupled with the physical amplification from the Legacy Set plate armor, a child like Wang Teng would absolutely not have been able to withstand it.
However, although it was plate armor, Wang Teng felt it was easier to bear than the light armor he had worn before. After all, the Legacy Set's 100% physical amplification was no joke.
Manifesting his equipment, Wang Teng was instantly enveloped in a set of crimson steel armor. Compared to the ordinary equipment he wore before, Wang Teng now exuded a majestic and imposing aura, clearly a master.
Of course, he looked great from every angle. However, this "master" was rather short, after all, Wang Teng was still just a child!
After experiencing it for a while, Wang Teng retracted his equipment into his body and went to the banquet hall to prepare for the meal. Looking at his father eating with him, Wang Teng spoke.
"Father, my soul power level has reached level 20, and I can attach my second soul ring."
"Oh? I didn't expect it to be so fast! My son truly deserves to be a titled ruler." Wang Chengkun was surprised.
To be honest, because Wang Teng had specifically trained his soul power control techniques before, his soul power level was quite good.
In addition, he had cultivated the hidden techniques in the Radiant Meditation Method, and Wang Chengkun hadn't specifically observed him. If Wang Teng hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't have noticed that Wang Teng had actually raised his soul power level to level 20.
And Wang Teng was now immune to his father's words about "having the potential to be a titled ruler." After all, he had gotten used to it after hearing it so many times.
Perhaps in some great world, there was another Wang Teng with the same name as him who thought the same thing?
At this moment, not only Wang Chengkun was surprised, but even Li Chan and Wang Chong beside him looked over.
"As expected of my son, I didn't expect him to reach level 20 so quickly!"
Wang Chong, on the other hand, was somewhat dejected after hearing Wang Teng's words. Although Wang Chong is a year younger than Wang Teng, due to Wang Teng's earlier birth month and Wang Chong's earlier one, they are actually more than a year and a half apart. Wang Chong's sixth birthday is still a little over two weeks away!
With such a supportive older brother, Wang Chong instantly felt immense pressure. Fortunately, although Wang Teng often threatened him with force, Wang Chong knew his older brother was still good to him and wasn't jealous.
However, recalling his past grand ambition to one day hang his brother up and beat him up, it seemed unlikely now. He couldn't help but sigh deeply, abandoning the idea.
"My brother's got a strong leg, looks like I'll have to hold on tight from now on!"
Wang Teng, unaware of his younger brother's thoughts, would definitely have said, "Little brother, you'd better hold on tight, and your big brother will carry you to new heights!"
"Now that Teng'er has reached level 20, I'll make the arrangements. I'll take you to Sunset Forest tomorrow to obtain your spirit ring."
His son needed his second spirit ring, so there was no time to waste. Wang Chengkun had high hopes for Wang Teng, even more so than Wang Teng himself.
However, as a high-ranking officer in the Heaven Dou Empire's military, Wang Chengkun couldn't simply disappear; he needed to arrange military affairs.
"Okay!"
Speaking of which, Wang Teng's ability to reach level 20 in just a year and a half after awakening is spirit was far faster than many innate full-strength spirit masters.
Besides his own hard work, the biggest credit went to the 'experience' gained from dungeons. It could be said that in the Douluo Continent, apart from Qian Renxue, a peerless genius who awakened innate level 20 spirit power, no other spirit master could reach level 20 at that age, not even Tang San, known as the 'King of Cheat'.
Don't be fooled by Qian Renxue's apparent weakness compared to Tang San at the same age in the original novel. This is because Qian Renxue spent her early years as an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire, leaving her little time for cultivation.
This resulted in her possessing a divine-level martial soul and innate level 20 soul power, yet her ascension to godhood was only slightly faster than Tang San's. Keep in mind, the two are nine years apart in age.
As for his second soul ring, Wang Teng now knows that because of the system's provided class template, his soul skills are fixed, so he doesn't need a soul beast that perfectly matches him; any light-attribute soul beast will suffice.
The reason for needing a light-attribute soul beast is that by adding a light-attribute soul ring to his first martial soul, the Xuan Guang Cross, it can undergo a qualitative change and advance to a top-tier martial soul!
In the Douluo Continent, once a soul master reaches the Title Douluo realm, even if their martial soul was originally only of high quality, after adding nine soul rings, as long as they follow the right path, the final quality of their martial soul can definitely reach the top tier.
This is the amplification that spirit rings bring to a martial soul. In the original story, Tang San was misled by his teacher and chose a beast-type spirit ring that didn't match his martial soul.
Furthermore, because only his second spirit ring was a plant-type, while his first, third, and fourth were beast-type, he couldn't awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in the early stages. If it weren't for Tang San's overpowered abilities, he would have had to say goodbye to the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul for life.
In addition, Yu Xiaogang didn't know that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul possessed the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline; he simply treated it as ordinary Blue Silver Grass. If it were just ordinary Blue Silver Grass, such enhancements wouldn't be entirely right or wrong.
After all, Blue Silver Grass martial souls are notoriously weak; without these enhancements, Tang San, without his unique hidden weapons, wouldn't be able to defeat other spirit masters of the same level.
Of course, if he had a 100,000-year spirit ring, things would be different. The difference between a 99,999-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit ring is far greater than the difference between a 1,000-year spirit ring and a 10,000-year spirit ring, and they are even incomparable. However, for ordinary spirit masters, let alone a 100,000-year spirit ring, they would never even see a single hair of a 100,000-year spirit beast.
