Chapter 569: Are the Ten Rings About to Become Commonplace Too

~7 min read 1,315 words

"Did I use too much force..."

Looking at the dying Wenwu in the distance, Su Quan summoned the Ten Rings on the ground over.

After thinking for a moment, he dragged Wenwu over as well.

"Do you concede?" Su Quan asked Wenwu.

Wenwu's eyes were somewhat unfocused, and it took a while for him to focus on Su Quan: "I, I lost; the Ten Rings, the Ten Rings are yours."

Su Quan looked at him: "You're going to die."

Wenwu grinned with difficulty; he knew his physical condition, he was indeed going to die.

Su Quan's punch was too ruthless!

Although most of the power had been blocked by the Ten Rings and the Ten Rings' protective shield, even the mere aftermath wasn't something he could withstand.

"I can send you out of the bamboo forest; whether you can survive depends on your luck, but you are not allowed to come here again within ten years!"

"Do you accept?"

Su Quan wasn't moved by compassion, nor was his "saintly heart" overflowing; his reason for letting Wenwu go was simple.

First, Wenwu followed the rules well enough, and he didn't find him too annoying.

Second, his wife, children, and even his weapon were gone; even if he luckily survived, without the Ten Rings, his life wouldn't be easy.

Finally, the Ten Rings organization, which had been established for so many years, still had some foundation; it would be a pity to just disband it like this.

Let Wenwu manage it for him for a few more years, and when he returned to the original timeline, he would have the White Queen absorb them to expand the basic strength of Nowhere.

"Ac, accept," Wenwu said tremblingly.

"Good!"

Su Quan responded and waved his hand, directly sending him away using a Kamar-Taj portal.

*Whoosh—*

The portal vanished, and Wenwu disappeared as well.

As for whether he could survive, that depended on his luck.

For Su Quan, resolving Wenwu was a small event that had come to an end.

But for Ying Li and Ying Nan, this was just a small episode they were used to, not worth taking to heart at all.

"What do you think of these Ten Rings?" Su Quan controlled the Ten Rings to float in mid-air and asked the two with a smile.

"Very good, a very powerful weapon, and it seems it can also amplify the power of the Power of the Divine Dragon," Ying Nan said.

Ying Li nodded in agreement.

Su Quan asked with a smile: "Do you want them?"

Ying Li said gently: "We don't need them; you should keep them."

"Yeah, with them, your strength will be even greater." Ying Nan meant the same thing.

Su Quan smiled and said: "The Ten Rings are just icing on the cake for me; whether I have them or not, my strength is very great."

"You two are different; if you want to stay by my side, your strength must become even greater!"

Pausing slightly, Su Quan's tone carried a hint of parting: "When the entrance to Ta Lo closes, I should be leaving; the next time we meet, I'm afraid it will be ten years later."

"In ten years, I'm afraid your youth will be gone!"

Ying Nan raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean? Are you disgusted that we'll be old by then?"

Su Quan shrugged and joked: "Don't you know? Men are very loyal; no matter what age they are, they only like young ones!"

"You... you're going too far saying that! I really didn't expect you to be that kind of person!" Ying Nan huffed angrily.

Ying Li was also a bit angry; after all, the relationship between the two—no, the three of them—during this time was already tacitly understood.

It was just because the number of people wasn't right and the situation was a bit complicated that they hadn't clarified it further.

Now you say you're leaving and can only meet again in ten years!

Fine!

Ten years is ten years; we can wait!

What do you mean by being disgusted that we'll be old in ten years? Isn't that going a bit too far?!

Su Quan shrugged frankly: "I'm stating a fact; if you don't want to have crow's feet on your faces when you meet me in ten years, it's best to wear the Ten Rings on your bodies at all times."

Ying Li was stunned, somewhat reacting: "Your purpose is to want us to accept the Ten Rings?"

"The Ten Rings can make people immortal!" Su Quan nodded, using Wenwu as an example: "Do you know Wenwu's age? He has already lived for thousands of years."

"What?!"

The sisters' faces showed surprise, unable to believe it.

Immortality, especially eternal youth, immediately filled the sisters with interest.

At the same time, they were also very moved.

A divine artifact of immortality just given to you—wouldn't you be moved?

"Don't you need it?" Ying Li asked hesitantly.

Su Quan smiled and shook his head: "I am immortal myself, and besides, there isn't only one set of Ten Rings."

Three rounds of fighting had farmed three sets of Ten Rings, and adding Wenwu's set, Su Quan currently had four sets of Ten Rings on hand.

Extracting two sets of Ten Rings from the system and handing them to Ying Li and Ying Nan, the sisters were so surprised they didn't know what to say.

Are there so many divine artifacts like the Ten Rings?!

The sisters, who had originally wanted to decline, were no longer polite, each taking a set of Ten Rings and studying them with great interest.

It had to be said that the Power of the Divine Dragon and the Ten Rings were a perfect match!

The Power of the Divine Dragon could control the Ten Rings, allowing them to unleash greater power, while the Ten Rings could amplify and magnify the effects of the Power of the Divine Dragon.

Let's put it this way: the sisters with the Ten Rings had at least five times more combat power than before.

Now, if they joined forces, they could easily suppress and eliminate the Soul Eater; if they soloed, the chances of winning would be fifty-fifty.

In the following days, apart from Wenwu, no one else came to the depths of the bamboo forest.

During the day, to familiarize themselves with and master the Ten Rings, the sisters sparred with each other, allowing Su Quan to farm quite a few Ten Rings in a "matryoshka" way.

At night, the sisters took turns keeping watch and resting; because Su Quan was leaving and they wouldn't meet again for ten years, the sisters' reluctance caused the feelings built up over the year to erupt, and it was almost a matter of course that Su Quan got his wish.

Happy times are always short.

On the day the portal to the Ta Lo entrance closed, Ying Li and Ying Nan returned to Ta Lo, and the White Queen, who had already arranged everything, finally waited for Su Quan.

"Are these the Ten Rings? Did you kill Wenwu?" The White Queen saw the Ten Rings on Su Quan's arms.

Su Quan shook his head and told her what had happened over the past year.

After listening, the White Queen smiled gracefully: "I've actually done quite a few things too."

"Oh, what have you done?" Su Quan asked curiously.

The White Queen kept it secret: "Most of them are things beneficial to Nowhere; after we go back, you can discover them slowly, just consider them a surprise I've prepared for you."

"Good."

Su Quan didn't pursue the question, just smiled dumbly; he was quite interested in this kind of "spot the difference" surprise!

"Let's go!"

Taking out the time controller and adjusting the time and location, the two passed through the rectangular golden portal and returned to the original timeline.
