Xu Sheng glanced at Meng Yiran, who was sitting on the ground absorbing the Soul Ring, and reminded, "I won't do anything to her. It's just that the age of this Soul Ring is still too high for her, I'm afraid... she's about to fail in absorbing it!"
He could tell that Meng Yiran's absorption process was going very unfavorably and that there were faint signs of failure!!
Upon hearing this, Meng Shu reflexively retorted, "Boy, what nonsense are you spouting? This is merely a Centennial Soul Ring. With Yiran's talent, how could she possibly fail!!"
But Chao Tianxiang did swallow nervously, and her gaze noted the expressions on Meng Yiran's face...
"No... Old man, take a closer look at Yiran. Her expression is one of great pain. I fear that, just like this boy said, she's about to fail in absorbing it!!"
As soon as Meng Shu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and also cast his gaze over...
After seeing clearly, he clenched his teeth and said, "It's indeed the case. But this soul beast's Cultivation Level is only over three hundred years. This kind of problem shouldn't arise!"
Xu Sheng calmly replied, "Although this is just a Centennial Soul Ring, each Soul Master's first Soul Ring has a different limit it can withstand. Once surpassed, there's a high chance of failure!"
Meng Shu still found it hard to believe, and glared at Xu Sheng fiercely, "Don't spout nonsense. According to the Martial Soul Hall, the limit for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is four hundred twenty-three years..."
Definitely, this kid is spreading deceitful words, looking for a chance to escape from this place...
Xu Sheng's expression remained unchanged, "If you want to watch her fail in the absorption and die from a shattered body, then you can ignore my words!"
That statement left Meng Shu in silence...
He didn't dare to gamble!
If he were to lose the bet, his granddaughter would at best become a cripple, or at worst, die from a shattered body!!
But for a moment, he didn't know what to do...
Chao Tianxiang, on the other side, couldn't keep calm. Her face filled with urgency, she asked, "Old man, what should we do? Soul beasts are continuously gathering in this area, and Yiran is not doing well!!"
"Are we just going to watch her fail in the absorption?"
Meng Shu clenched his fists tightly and then suddenly released them, saying in a defeated tone, "I... I have no way. Now it's up to Yiran herself!"
Just then, Xu Sheng spoke up again, "Actually, there is a way to help her resolve this crisis!"
This statement, undoubtedly, gave the two desperate people a glimmer of hope...
Meng Shu excitedly looked at him, "Boy, you... you just said there is a way? Speak, as long as it can save Yiran, the Dragon-Snake Couple is willing to work like oxen and horses for you!!"
Chao Tianxiang also hurriedly echoed, "That's right, that's right. As long as it's feasible, not to mention helping you hunt soul beasts, even soul bones, we will get for you!!"
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth slightly lifted, "Since that's the case, then you'll do as I say next!"
"You two will join forces to fend off the incoming soul beasts, and you must keep the noise down; of course, it is best if you don't use soul skills"
"And I, will use my Soul Power to guard her veins, and help her absorb the Soul Ring with all my strength!"
"At the very least, I can save her life!"
However, as soon as his words fell, they were met with skepticism from Meng Shu...
"Boy, are you joking? Even we can't do such a thing!"
Chao Tianxiang was also full of doubt, "That's right. The old man is a Soul Douluo and I am a Soul Sage. We have never heard of someone using their own Soul Power to protect the veins of someone absorbing a Soul Ring!"
If someone dared make a joke at a time like this, there was no way they would let him off!!
But the next statement left them speechless...
"You have no choice now, but to do as I say!"
With no other options, the two exchanged helpless looks. After hesitating for a long time, they nodded in agreement to the proposal...
Now, they could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive!
Meng Shu immediately released his Martial Soul and stepped to the far left...
"I will trust you this once, don't let me down!!"
Chao Tianxiang remained silent, gripping her snake staff and moving to the far right, readying herself for battle...
...
A few minutes later, as the plant-based soul beast's enticing scent continued to expand...
More and more soul beasts were converging on this location, with dozens of centennial soul beasts coming into view...
With their crimson eyes fixed on Meng Yiran and the soul beast carcass beside her, they let out piercing howls...
The next second, they all bared their fangs and charged at them like mad...
Upon seeing this, Meng Shu shouted coldly, "Attack!!"
After speaking, he punched at the incoming soul beast, sending it flying hundreds of meters away...
On the other side, Chao Tianxiang nodded in understanding and also used her snake staff to attack the soul beasts before her...
Since they couldn't cause too much commotion, they didn't use soul skills but chose to kill the soul beasts with sheer brute force...
Xu Sheng, who had been closely observing the situation, saw the timing was right and also sat down behind Meng Yiran...
Next, he extended both hands to touch her back and started to slowly transfer Soul Power...
In this way, the enormous yet gentle Soul Power traveled from Meng Yiran's back to her heart, then gradually spread throughout her entire body, veins...
Forming an unassailable barrier around her...
Meng Yiran, who was closing her eyes and concentrating on absorbing the Soul Ring, also seemed to sense something unusual happening inside her...
She hastily used her spiritual power to investigate...
And she exclaimed in surprise...
"What... what's with all this enormous Soul Power? When did it enter my body?"
"And it's adhering to my veins, as if forming a solid barrier!!"
Could it be that this Soul Power was infused into my body by Grandpa or Grandma?
If that's the case, there's no need to worry about the Soul Ring absorption damaging my body and veins!
With this thought, she grew excited and thrilled...
With the protection of this Soul Power, it was like having nothing to worry about at all...
As long as nothing unexpected happened, she was very likely to successfully absorb this Soul Ring!!
Hence, she no longer held back timidly but started to brazenly and indulgently absorb the Soul Ring...
"Ah ah ah ah!!"
Although her body still felt the ripping pain, compared to before, it was completely bearable...
She just needed to grit her teeth and persist, and she would easily get through it...
Finally, after the following period, she gradually gained the upper hand...
And with her own Soul Power, she successfully suppressed the beastly nature of the Soul Ring...
Now what she needed to do was to maintain stability and then undergo a long wait!
Waiting for the Soul Ring to be fully assimilated, to blend into her body...
Only then would she have successfully absorbed the Soul Ring...
