Tang Hao looked at Mu Chen, reasoning that only if Mu Chen wasn't human could he explain how Mu Chen obtained spirit rings without hunting spirit beasts.
Tang Hao's wife wasn't human either; she was a Blue Silver Grass transformed from a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast! Tang Hao knew that only spirit beasts in human form could obtain spirit rings without hunting.
Of course, Tang Hao couldn't have imagined that Mu Chen possessed a golden finger system, allowing him to earn spirit rings through tasks without needing to hunt spirit beasts!
"A hundred... hundred-thousand-year?"
Even Tang Xiao, the renowned Sky Shaking Douluo and leader of the Clear Sky Clan, couldn't help but tremble as he saw the spirit rings beneath Mu Chen.
"Not just one, but three hundred-thousand-year spirit rings."
Standing beside Tang Xiao, the Clear Sky Clan's Second Elder, Tang Ying, exclaimed in shock.
"A person who obtains even one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring gains the ability to battle across levels. No wonder this young man dares to be so arrogant in front of us. He truly is a prodigy of a millennium, with every right to be proud."
The Third Elder of the Clear Sky Clan, standing next to the Second Elder, was equally astonished.
As high-ranking members of the Clear Sky Clan, they knew that Tang Hao could challenge ranks and defeat the Spirit Hall's forces, led by the former Pope Qian Xunji, because he had a top-tier martial spirit and was enhanced by the spirit bone and hundred-thousand-year spirit ring from Ah Yin's sacrifice.
And now, this younger generation possessed not just one, but three hundred-thousand-year spirit rings. Moreover, the first spirit ring had a hundred-thousand-year age, the second had 160,000 years, and the third had 330,000 years.
Yes!
Mu Chen had not only obtained a spirit ring of 200,000 years but also received an intermediate fusion card. With these rewards, Mu Chen used the fusion card to merge the 200,000-year spirit ring with his previously upgraded 130,000-year ring, creating a 330,000-year spirit ring!
*Whoosh*
For each year added to a spirit ring's age, a soul master gains one attribute point. A ten-year spirit ring increases a soul master's attributes by ten points. Therefore, a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring grants a soul master 100,000 attribute points. With Mu Chen's three hundred-thousand-year spirit rings totaling 590,000 years, his attributes were increased by 590,000 points.
*Whoosh*
With 590,000 attribute points from his spirit rings, even some Titled Douluo's total spirit ring age doesn't surpass 100,000 years. In some respects, Mu Chen could now stand against a Titled Douluo.
It's worth noting that Mu Chen's first five spirit rings were black, indicative of ten-thousand-year rings, with a combined age exceeding 100,000 years.
*Whoosh*
His spirit rings' total age exceeded 600,000 years.
The high-ranking members of the Clear Sky Clan were awestruck, and the lesser-ranked disciples were even more so.
On the side, the previously disdainful and mocking Seventh Elder Tang Yan's eyes widened, a hint of apprehension flickering across his face.
"And now?" Mu Chen asked with a smug smile.
Uh!
The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Clan, Tang Yan, was taken aback. Moments before, he had been confident that Mu Chen was no match for him, perceiving him as overly arrogant. But now, Mu Chen's displayed abilities qualified him to challenge Tang Yan.
Hearing Mu Chen's words and seeing his smug expression, Tang Yan felt as if he had been slapped hard.
"Hmph!"
Even as a Titled Douluo with a 95th level soul power, Tang Yan remained stubborn, saying, "I am a 95th level Titled Douluo. For soul masters, every level beyond 90 presents a chasm-like difference in combat power. Even with three hundred-thousand-year rings, do you think you can contend with our Clear Sky Clan? We have five Titled Douluo."
Hearing this, Tang San stepped forward, saying, "So what if there are five Titled Douluo? We at Shrek Academy are united."
Tang San's eyes were resolute.
In Tang San's view, Mu Chen was the reincarnation of the Tang Sect's grandmaster. Whether in his past life or this one, Tang San credited his achievements to Mu Chen's help. If forced to choose between Mu Chen and the Clear Sky Clan, Tang San would choose Mu Chen.
Of course, Tang San didn't know that Mu Chen wasn't the reincarnation of the Tang Sect grandmaster. Mu Chen had merely used this to learn Tang San's Tang Sect skills.
As Tang San spoke, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and others stepped forward.
Tang San had analyzed the situation. Xue Ke had been gone for a while, and with her Golden Swan martial soul, she could cover the 300 kilometers to Heaven Dou Empire's capital in about four hours with an army. For Tang San, they just needed to stall for time.
"Truly disregarding the clan."
Seeing Tang San's stance, the Clear Sky Clan's Seventh Elder Tang Yan, who held a grudge against Tang Hao, grew even more disdainful of Tang San.
"Stand down!" Mu Chen commanded.
But Mu Chen did not accept Tang San's support!
"Mu Boss..." Tang San began.
"Stand down. This is not your concern. As the top sect in the soul master world, if the Clear Sky Clan habitually bullies with numbers, we at Shrek Academy will not follow suit. Tang Hao, if your clan insists on troubling me, don't blame me for what happens next." Mu Chen said calmly, looking at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao nodded. He, too, wanted to see how much the Clear Sky Clan had strengthened over the years.
Uh!
The words stung the five elders of the Clear Sky Clan and Tang Xiao, making them feel as if they'd been slapped.
Shrek Academy was an unknown entity to the Clear Sky Clan's higher-ups. Yet, they, the number one clan, appeared to be bullying with numbers, a shameful act. This thought left the clan's leadership, including both direct and outer disciples, deeply embarrassed.
