Master and Flande were astonished as they looked at Ye Yu, creating a stark contrast with Tang San and Ye Yu at the moment.
Tang San absorbed a four-hundred-year Soul Ring without rejection, which was extremely difficult and painful.
Ye Yu absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring with strong rejection, yet it was very easy and carefree.
For experienced individuals like Master and Flande, who have seen all sorts of things, it's rare to be shocked into losing composure, but now they were completely stunned. What on earth was happening?
Although their hearts were full of surprise, they didn't ask many questions. Ye Yu seemed very relaxed, but they couldn't disturb him.
Master let out a breath of relief. Even though he didn't know why it was so easy, he felt assured. Originally, he thought Ye Yu would be taking a huge life risk absorbing this highly-rejective Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Flande leaned close to Master and whispered softly in his ear: "Xiao Gang, after Xiao Yu goes back, he'll probably apply to graduate directly, right? You should bring him to our Shrek Academy. When he absorbs the second Soul Ring, his Soul Power will reach level thirty, considering he has Innate Full Soul Power at level thirty. If he absorbs the third Soul Ring in the future, given his Innate Full Soul Power at level thirty and such a monstrous body, reaching level thirty-five would be no problem. If Xiao Yu comes, I can exempt him from the assessment and let him enter the academy directly."
Flande began to recruit; Ye Yu was too much of a Demon. He had seen many monsters, but never one as monstrous as this. Even though he was only six years old, he fully met the criteria to enter Shrek Academy.
The enrollment requirement for Shrek Academy is under thirteen years old, Soul Power must reach level 21 or above.
To meet the conditions and apply, one still needs to pass four assessments.
Even for a super genius, the maximum is twelve or thirteen years old to reach level 29, but Ye Yu is a born Soul Venerable who will reach level thirty after absorbing two Soul Rings.
Entering Shrek at six years old will absolutely set a record that has never been seen before.
Master said: "Xiao Yu probably won't come just yet, as he still needs to learn many basics. No need to rush; he will go eventually. When the time comes, I'll have Xiao Yu and Xiao San go together."
Flande nodded: "That's good."
At this moment, Ye Yu was casually absorbing the Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Despite being so easy, Ye Yu was somewhat amazed.
Although he felt that with his monstrous body, he could successfully absorb it, he expected there would surely be pressure and pain, given his current Soul Power level ten, and he was absorbing an eleven-hundred-year Soul Ring. However, upon absorption, a surprising event occurred to Ye Yu.
Even though Rapid Growth Tiger had been ruthlessly handled by Flande and was eager to die, its Soul Ring was infused with resentment. Rapid Growth Tiger voluntarily died but that doesn't mean there's no resentment, especially since there's still the Soul Ring.
After becoming a Soul Ring, there's no need to fear anymore, so the resentment began to grow.
Initially, Ye Yu intended to fully absorb it quickly, because the greater the resentment grows, the harder it will be to absorb. Rapid Growth Tiger being ruthlessly handled by Flande was beneficial for absorption, but it could also turn disadvantageous.
Initially, the resentment was small, but if the absorption takes too long, then the resentment would grow increasingly larger, possibly even surpassing the normal resentment when killed. At that point, even with his strong body, success would be difficult.
However, when the resentment from Rapid Growth Tiger's Soul Ring began to sprout, it unexpectedly vanished instantly, like a flame being extinguished by water.
This left Ye Yu baffled; what was going on?
Rapid Growth Tiger didn't have a shred of resentment, which made his absorption exceedingly easy, and there was no rejection. It wasn't that it didn't reject his Nine Spirits Black Begonia, but rather seemed too afraid to reject.
Now, Ye Yu was only enduring the immense energy from the Soul Ring.
Even such enormous energy, for others, even Tang San couldn't withstand it—would burst and perish—but Ye Yu wouldn't.
His body seemed like a bottomless pit, fully capable of enduring this immense energy, and internally was exceptionally robust—his organs, bones, meridians were very tough—even when the energy flows through these organs during absorption, there would be no pain.
The only sensation was a slight swelling of the body, which gradually faded during absorption.
What Ye Yu didn't know was that when the resentment from Rapid Growth Tiger's Soul Ring began to sprout, it felt an extremely terrifying aura emanating deeply within Ye Yu's body.
Despite such a tiny bit of aura leaking out, so weak that not even Flande noticed, it sensed it.
Just a wisp of it was enough to frighten and completely dispel the resentment, creating intense fear and reverence. Just a trace of aura made it wish to vanish more than when it was ruthlessly handled earlier; enduring that aura even for another second would be infinitely more painful.
Even though it was just a trace, it sensed extremely malevolent energy, and faced with such malevolence, it, which was intensely angry and resentful towards Ye Yu and Flande, became utterly cowardly.
It not only bore no resentment but dared not reject and voluntarily was absorbed. It even felt honored to become Ye Yu's Soul Ring.
Now, Ye Yu was about to succeed, feeling thrilled.
Because Ye Yu felt his power had increased severalfold! Especially his body, which felt even more formidable, and what excited him most was the internal transformation, as it became twice as strong.
Upon successfully absorbing the Soul Ring, Ye Yu felt an extreme comfort, like reaching the pinnacle of bliss. All thirty-six thousand pores in his body opened simultaneously, breathing in the wonderful air, while all cells inside raved in jubilation.
Moreover, his already formidable body underwent a metamorphosis, as the Soul Power absorbed into his bottomless pit-like body permeated, merging into every piece of flesh and blood, meridians, and cells within.
Ye Yu felt his body was three times more formidable than before absorbing the Soul Ring!
Ye Yu slowly stood up, opened his eyes, revealing uncontrollable excitement.
Not only had his body become more terrifying, but he had also gained a Soul Technique with mighty support capability!
Seeing Ye Yu successfully absorb the Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Flande and Master were delighted, holding back the curiosity in their hearts and calmly waiting for Tang San.
The Nine Spirits Black Begonia in Ye Yu's right hand grew more vibrant, swaying back and forth, brimming with life energy.
Simultaneously, a Soul Ring of purple light appeared from the top of Ye Yu's head, circling around him.
Flande and Master were both amazed with glowing eyes; the first Soul Ring was a purple Thousand-Year! This had never been seen before. Today, they witnessed an improbable occurrence.
Ye Yu used his First Soul Skill, and black light points rose, condensing into black begonia petals that drifted onto Master's body. Under Master's surprised gaze, he felt the toxins in his body dissipating, emanating from his body surface, while discomfort and pain vanished quickly. Also, the two wounds on his arm were healing rapidly, scabbing over soon.
Although Master was surprisingly delighted, he didn't question further, waiting for Xiao San to successfully absorb before discussing.
An hour later, Tang San successfully absorbed, but he paused when opening his eyes, glancing over at Ye Yu.
Tang San unexpectedly asked: "Brother Yu, haven't you started absorbing the Soul Ring yet?"
However, in the next second, Ye Yu's response left Tang San instantly astonished.
"I've long finished absorbing…"
