Chapter 152: Su Ming's Spirit Ring Configuration, and Da Ming and Er Ming’s Shock!

Su Ming then displayed his martial soul and said, "As you can see, my martial soul is the Wood Element. Your three ten-thousand-year spirit rings are not suitable for me. Besides, Xiao Wu is now my family. No matter how much I need spirit rings, I could never harm her. Isn't that right?"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, Da Ming temporarily put aside his hostility. He decided to understand the situation better before making any decisions. After all, Su Ming was only a Spirit Elder with four rings, no threat to him and Er Ming. Although a twelve-year-old Spirit Elder was shocking, it didn't concern Da Ming much.

Er Ming then recounted everything Su Ming had said during their journey to Da Ming. Da Ming, with his sharp mind, started to think about how to handle the situation and whether Su Ming was trustworthy.

After a moment, Da Ming looked at Su Ming with surprise. This human claimed to have a way to resurrect Xiao Wu's mother, and even more surprising was that Xiao Wu believed him. At first, Da Ming thought Su Ming was just boasting. After all, reviving a spirit beast or a human was not an easy task. Da Ming himself had pondered a method for a long time, but it was too demanding and untested.

Su Ming, however, claimed that he could resurrect Xiao Wu's mother in a much simpler way, only needing a body as a medium. But Xiao Wu's mother's body had long been buried, likely reduced to bones by now.

Then Er Ming mentioned that Xiao Wu had just condensed a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, leaving Da Ming even more astonished. According to the best spirit ring configuration for spirit masters, the fourth ring should only be about five thousand years old. And all this was possible because of Su Ming.

With that, Da Ming decided to listen to Su Ming's method for reviving Xiao Wu's mother before making any final decisions.

But before that, Da Ming was intrigued by Xiao Wu's ten-thousand-year fourth ring and wondered how Su Ming had achieved it.

He asked, "Human—no, Su Ming, can you explain how you helped Xiao Wu condense a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring?"

Su Ming calmly replied, "In fact, condensing a high-level spirit ring depends on whether the body can withstand it. And since Xiao Wu can condense the ring herself, unlike human spirit masters who must resist the lingering resentment of a spirit beast when absorbing a ten-thousand-year ring, Xiao Wu's enhanced physical condition naturally allows her to form higher-year rings."

He continued, "Normal training wouldn't be enough for this. I developed a technique called the 'Soul Power Body Refinement Technique.' As the name suggests, it uses one's soul power to temper the body. The higher the quality of the soul power, the faster the refinement process. This technique requires precise control over one's soul power, something Xiao Wu, as a transformed ten-thousand-year spirit beast, can naturally achieve without trouble."

Since he couldn't reveal the system's existence, Su Ming credited the technique to himself, confident no one else would know the truth.

Xiao Wu: No, I know.

Da Ming was stunned by Su Ming's method. He had never thought of such an approach, but Su Ming's explanation made sense, especially given Xiao Wu's background as a spirit beast. But how had Su Ming achieved this?

After all, Su Ming's spirit rings had come from hunting spirit beasts. All spirit rings carried remnants of the beast's consciousness, which typically interfered with a human spirit master's control over their soul power. The higher the spirit master's level, the greater the interference.

However, Da Ming realized that Su Ming's control must be unique. Asking further wouldn't be appropriate.

Seeing Da Ming's reaction, Su Ming knew he had gained a small amount of trust from him—just enough to move forward.

Er Ming then chimed in, "But Su Ming, why is your spirit ring configuration yellow-yellow-purple-purple? It's not like Xiao Wu's."

Su Ming and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, nodded, and both removed their disguises.

In an instant, Xiao Wu's spirit ring configuration changed from yellow-yellow-purple-black to yellow-purple-purple-black!

This left Da Ming and Er Ming both stunned. How had Xiao Wu hidden her real rings from them so well?

But even more shocking was Su Ming's spirit ring configuration, which changed from yellow-yellow-purple-purple to black-black-black-black, an even more extraordinary configuration than Xiao Wu's!

Da Ming and Er Ming began to wonder if they had been out of touch with the world for too long. Even with the Soul Power Body Refinement Technique, Da Ming couldn't believe that Su Ming could absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring as his first. Who had helped him hunt such a spirit beast?

As a human, Su Ming's soul power couldn't possibly surpass Xiao Wu's. Da Ming found it hard to believe.

Still, Da Ming had no interest in probing Su Ming's secrets as long as Xiao Wu was safe. Seeing that Su Ming had no malicious intent toward Xiao Wu, Da Ming's trust in him increased slightly.

Finally, Da Ming asked, "Su Ming, you are the most unique human spirit master I've ever encountered. While we don't fully trust you yet, both Er Ming and I want to know how you plan to revive Xiao Wu's mother."

"If you can convince us, we'll acknowledge your relationship with Xiao Wu and bear no hostility toward you. We'll even help you if needed, provided what you say is true!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt a bit anxious. Da Ming seemed to have a favorable impression of Su Ming, but the problem was that Su Ming didn't currently have the ability to back up his claim. Would Da Ming and Er Ming believe mere words?

After all, they didn't have access to Su Ming's diary like she did. Xiao Wu felt conflicted. Da Ming and Er Ming were her only remaining family, and she desperately hoped they would accept Su Ming.
