"Roar—roar!"

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger manifested from Dai Weisi's spiritual power let out a deafening roar, releasing a terrifying aura of oppression! The Howling Sky Tiger was completely subdued, unable to even lift its head!

Just like how Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could absorb any soul ring without clashing with his spirit, Dai Weisi's Evil-Eyed White Tiger was no different. As the pinnacle of tiger-type martial spirits, it could absorb soul rings from any tiger-type soul beast with ease—sometimes even enabling it to absorb rings beyond its current level.

As Dai Weisi's soul clashed with the dying spirit of the Howling Sky Tiger, the tiger was firmly suppressed by the overwhelming dominance of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger.

It was only a matter of time before Dai Weisi completely absorbed the soul ring.

Meanwhile, outside—

After jointly killing the twenty-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider, Lin Qiuyang and Li Hu rushed over. Upon seeing Dai Weisi attempting to absorb the Howling Sky Tiger's soul ring across levels, Lin Qiuyang's face changed dramatically.

"Reckless nonsense!"

"There's only one outcome for a soul master who tries to absorb a ring beyond their rank—death! If His Highness wants to throw his life away, that's one thing—but Princess, why didn't you stop him?"

Lin Qiuyang turned to Zhu Zhuyun with a mix of anger and worry on his face. If Dai Weisi died here, there was no way he could return—if he did, the Star Luo Emperor would surely have his head!

"Dean Lin, I did try to stop him!" Zhu Zhuyun replied anxiously, her fists clenched tight and her palms slick with sweat as she watched Dai Weisi nervously.

"I tried to stop him, but you know Dai Weisi's personality—how could I possibly stop him? He said he wanted to attempt a cross-rank absorption, and promised that if anything went wrong, we could interrupt him immediately. But it's been over ten minutes now, and he hasn't shown a single sign of pain."

She shrugged helplessly at the end—there was nothing more she could do.

Li Hu, seeing Dai Weisi in the midst of the dangerous soul ring absorption, also started to panic. If anything happened to Dai Weisi, he'd be the first to die. He turned to Lin Qiuyang in alarm.

"Dean Lin, should we interrupt His Highness now?"

"Not yet," Lin Qiuyang said, frowning deeply and shaking his head. "If we interrupt him now, it could damage his foundation. Since he's still holding on, let's wait and see. If something really goes wrong, we'll act then. Remember—unless it's absolutely necessary, do not disturb him."

With that, Lin Qiuyang and Li Hu stepped aside, guarding Dai Weisi while silently praying that nothing would go wrong.

Zhu Zhuyun also stood vigil, filled with worry. On the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was more complicated. In the past, she might have wished for something to go wrong—wishing Dai Weisi would just die.

But ever since Dai Weisi had gifted her the ten-thousand-year whale glue, her opinion of him had changed. She now felt that maybe… this brother-in-law wasn't so bad after all.

Sigh. Who told him to be so kind to me? Good luck, Brother-in-law! she thought, silently praying for his success.

Five hours passed in the blink of an eye, and throughout the entire time, Dai Weisi never once showed any signs of pain.

In his sea of consciousness, as time passed, Dai Weisi gradually subdued the dying soul of the Howling Sky Tiger. He successfully bound its soul ring to his martial spirit—and slowly opened his eyes.

"Dai Weisi, you're awake? How do you feel?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a stunningly beautiful face right in front of him—it was Zhu Zhuyun. Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly from not sleeping at all during the long wait. Her brown eyes brimmed with worry.

Seeing her like this warmed Dai Weisi's heart. With such a caring and gentle girlfriend, what more could he possibly ask for?

"I feel great! That Howling Sky Tiger has been completely tamed. Watch this—Evil-Eyed White Tiger: Possession!"

Roar—roar!

The tiger's roar echoed through the forest, shaking the heavens!

With a resounding cry, Dai Weisi completed his martial spirit possession. His muscles bulged with power, and his entire presence exuded the majesty of the king of beasts.

As he released his soul power, four soul rings slowly emerged beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, black.

With a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, he could now be considered the first in the history of the Douluo Continent!

"Your Highness! My dear prince! You're finally awake!"

The moment Li Hu saw Dai Weisi open his eyes, he burst into tears of joy, falling to his knees and sliding to Dai Weisi's side.

Ten hours. Five full watches. Did anyone truly understand what Dai Weisi had endured during that time?

As he gazed toward the distant forest, he could almost see his great-grandmother waving to him, the names of his nine familial clans flickering like lights on the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death.

"Huh? Uncle Li, what are you doing? Please, get up!" Dai Weisi was startled and quickly helped Li Hu up from the ground.

"Oh, no, no, no—Your Highness, you'll bring this old servant to ruin! I'm no 'Uncle Li'—from now on, you're my uncle!"

"…Huh?"

Seeing Li Hu behave like this, Dai Weisi felt like a fisherman catching a turtle in the ocean—completely bewildered.

"Uncle Li, seriously, what's gotten into you?"

"Your Highness, I never imagined… you actually succeeded!"

The moment Lin Qiuyang caught sight of the distinctive black soul ring, his face was etched with shock—and his heart filled with lingering dread.

If the names of Li Hu's nine clans were flickering on the Book of Life and Death, then weren't his own ancestors dancing along that same list just moments ago?

Li Hu also noticed the black soul ring around Dai Weisi and quickly wiped away his tears, launching into flattery mode.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! You've really pulled it off—absorbing a soul ring beyond your level! A ten-thousand-year fourth ring… Your Highness's talent is simply unmatched in history. Truly, you're the first in all of Douluo Continent's legacy!"

"Brother-in-law, congratulations!" Zhu Zhuqing said. When she saw Dai Weisi's ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, her beautiful eyes lit up with amazement, her heart filled with indescribable shock. She never thought he'd actually succeed.

"Haha, thank you, Zhuqing," Dai Weisi said with a smile.

"Dai Weisi, quick, tell us—what's your fourth soul skill?" Zhu Zhuyun asked eagerly. "A skill from a ten-thousand-year soul ring has to be far stronger than anything from a lesser ring, right?"

Li Hu chimed in, "That's right! The strength of a soul skill is directly proportional to the age of the soul ring!"

Dai Weisi laughed. "My fourth skill is pretty dangerous. You'll all need to step back—about thirty meters should be enough."

Upon hearing this, the group quickly backed away to give Dai Weisi some space. Dai Weisi then began channeling soul power into the fourth soul ring, which flickered with deep black light.

"Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Howl of Heaven Break!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Dai Weisi took a deep breath and let out a thunderous roar in the direction of a large distant tree.

"——ROAR!"

The invisible shockwave spread rapidly from near to far, carrying a soul force as vast as the sky. It formed a mighty sonic boom that pounded relentlessly against trees and boulders in the distance.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!

The deafening impact came suddenly. In an instant, the towering tree cracked and collapsed to the ground, like falling autumn leaves in a storm. The rocks nearby shattered, and under the escalating pressure of the sonic assault, were ground to dust!

Even from afar, Zhu Zhuyun and the others had to cover their ears, pain clearly etched across their faces. Only when Dai Weisi stopped roaring did they feel some relief.

Looking at the devastated scene around them, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help exclaiming, "Dai Weisi, this is your fourth soul skill?"

"That's right," Dai Weisi nodded lightly, then explained, "It's called White Tiger Howl of Heaven Break. It's a sound-based soul skill that works at both close and long range.

"Within thirty meters, the sound waves transmit energy directly, destroying everything in the area with invisible force.

"Because sound waves can penetrate objects, this skill can also bypass an enemy's defenses and directly target their internal organs.

"Beyond that, within a three-hundred-meter radius, the deafening tiger roar disrupts the mobility of everyone who hears it. If they're close enough, it can even rupture their eardrums and permanently rob them of their hearing.

"Plus, it's a growth-type soul skill—the more soul power I pour into it, the stronger it becomes!"
