Yu Xiaogang Explodes His Spirit Ring

As he approached a crucial plot point, Su Xing couldn't help feeling a bit helpless since he still hadn't found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He only knew that the treasure was somewhere in the Sunset Forest, but he had no idea of its exact location.

In this situation, he dared not recklessly venture out. It was too dangerous. Encountering a thousand-year spirit beast was one thing, but running into a ten-thousand-year beast would be truly perilous.

With his physical body not yet breaking through level 50, Su Xing didn't dare to casually explore the Sunset Forest.

"First, I need to find a way to stop the team from going up against the Shrek Seven Devils," he thought. "There are many ways to do this; I'll decide based on the situation when the time comes."

Su Xing had many ways to prevent the fight. The simplest would be to find an excuse to be absent. Without enough members, the Heaven Dou Royal Team wouldn't be able to participate in the group battle. Alternatively, he could target the Shrek Seven Devils' individual matches and injure one of them severely enough that they couldn't participate in the team battle. Without all seven members, they wouldn't be able to compete.

At Shrek Academy

At this moment, everyone, including Tang San, was nervously watching Yu Xiaogang, who was meditating.

This was already his third attempt.

Yu Xiaogang was trying to explode his spirit ring.

After extensive research and calculations, he had decided to blow up his spirit rings to break through his bottleneck. However, it wasn't as simple as it seemed. After multiple attempts, he finally grasped the technique of exploding his rings.

The first time he succeeded, he didn't get the results he wanted. Although he felt his spirit power increase, it wasn't enough to help him break through to level 30. Terrified of losing his remaining spirit ring, he didn't dare to continue exploding it.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang had been utterly hopeless. Not only had he failed to break through, but he had lost one of his spirit rings.

It wasn't until a few days later, when his spirit ring reappeared, that Yu Xiaogang realized his spirit ring hadn't been entirely destroyed.

At first, he was puzzled, unsure why his spirit ring had exploded only to reform. After gathering more information, he learned that one attempt wouldn't completely destroy a spirit ring.

Boom!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Xiaogang's first spirit ring exploded again, and a powerful surge of spirit power rippled out from his body.

Oscar and the others just casually raised their arms to block the shockwave; it wasn't their first time experiencing this.

"Do you think Master can completely destroy his spirit ring this time?" Oscar asked, looking curiously at Yu Xiaogang, whose ring had exploded once more.

"He should be able to! Master calculated that it shouldn't take more than three times," Ma Hongjun chimed in.

"I'm more curious to see if Master can really absorb the spirit power from the ring to break through," Ning Rongrong wondered aloud, intrigued by whether Yu Xiaogang's method could actually help him level up.

As the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Rongrong knew enough to understand how groundbreaking this discovery could be for the entire spirit master world.

If this worked, it would change everything. Many spirit masters stuck at their bottlenecks could use this method to break through.

It wasn't a big deal for lower-level spirit masters, but for higher-level spirit masters like Spirit Saints or Spirit Douluos, if they could all break through using this method, it would be terrifying.

"I believe in Master. He can do it," Tang San said confidently. He naturally wanted Yu Xiaogang to succeed.

"I agree with Brother San. Master will definitely break through," Xiao Wu, as always, supported Tang San unconditionally.

"If this method works, then didn't Su Xing trick us? His talent might not be that extraordinary—he could have just been using this spirit ring explosion method to barely keep up with our levels," Oscar mused, stroking his chin as he brought up Su Xing.

"Hmm, even if that's the case, it's still impressive that Su Xing came up with this method. No one else on Douluo Continent has ever thought of it before!" Ma Hongjun nodded, full of curiosity about the mysterious Su Xing.

After all, Su Xing was the one who had beaten their leader, Dai Mubai! Of course, Ma Hongjun wasn't going to mention that.

"Hmph, just a cunning opportunist," Dai Mubai snorted coldly, full of resentment the moment Su Xing's name came up.

That bastard had not only seduced his fiancée, but also left him bedridden for over two months.

"Haha, Boss Dai is right. Our talent is far superior to that guy's. We'll only grow stronger in the future, while that Su Xing, with his limited potential, will soon fall behind," Oscar said with an awkward smile, quickly agreeing with Dai Mubai.

Inwardly, he cursed himself. Why did I have to bring up Su Xing in front of Dai Mubai?

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Zhu Zhuqing remained the only one who hadn't spoken.

As she watched the effect of Yu Xiaogang's spirit ring explosion, her thoughts were complicated.

She hadn't expected Su Xing's spirit ring explosion method to be so important.

It wasn't that no one had ever exploded their spirit rings before; it was just that no one had done it like Su Xing—completely obliterating all of their rings.

Other people would be terrified of losing their spirit rings permanently.

But Su Xing? He seemed determined to get rid of them.

Because of this, Su Xing's talent and rank had become the key to Yu Xiaogang's discovery of this groundbreaking secret.

If Yu Xiaogang succeeded, Su Xing's contribution to Douluo Continent would be undeniable.

His name would surely be recorded in the annals of history.

In the future, any spirit master who hit a bottleneck would be able to use this method to break through. How could Su Xing, the pioneer of this technique, not be remembered?

As Zhu Zhuqing thought about Su Xing, the man who had both invaded her personal space and stolen her first kiss, her heart grew even more conflicted.

She didn't understand why, but she found herself thinking about Su Xing often.

Each time she recalled how he had overstepped his boundaries, she would become furious. Yet, she also couldn't help but remember their journey together and how Su Xing had made her laugh with his jokes.

Especially when Su Xing, after acting all arrogant and powerful, had suddenly vomited after killing someone. The image of it always made Zhu Zhuqing smirk involuntarily.

"Zhuqing, what are you smiling about?" Xiao Wu asked, noticing Zhu Zhuqing had zoned out with a smile on her face. She nudged her curiously.

This wasn't the first time she had seen Zhu Zhuqing like this.

"Nothing, I'm just happy for Master," Zhu Zhuqing quickly said, snapping back to reality and trying to cover it up.

"Who believes that? I bet you were thinking about Su Xing again," Xiao Wu teased, leaning in close with a knowing smile.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Dai Mubai," Xiao Wu whispered mischievously.

"Of course not, that's impossible!" Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly denied, shaking her head.

"Hehe, only you know for sure!" Xiao Wu giggled but didn't push the matter any further. She skipped back to Tang San's side.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing sighed in relief when Xiao Wu stopped teasing her, but she found herself lost in thought once more.

"Why do I keep thinking about that jerk?"
