Chapter 1

Douluo Continent is a world of martial souls; here there is no magic, no technology, and not even the legendary fighting qi that turns into horses, and people's lives are closely tied to martial souls.

Everyone possesses a martial soul, but only a few possess innate soul power, and those who possess innate soul power can cultivate and become the most esteemed profession—Soul Master.

Innate soul power represents talent; the higher the innate soul power, the stronger your talent, and the greater the hope of becoming a powerhouse in the future.

After countless years and countless people's exploration, the ranks of Soul Masters were divided into ten levels: levels 1–10 are Soul Scholars, 11–20 Soul Masters, 21–30 Grand Soul Masters, 31–40 Soul Elders, 41–50 Soul Ancestors, 51–60 Soul Kings, 61–70 Soul Emperors, 71–80 Soul Saints, 81–90 Soul Douluo, 91–99 Titled Douluo, and finally the 100th level Godhood, but on the continent no god has been born for tens of thousands of years.

Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, ranked among the Top Three Sects, possesses the richest sect title, claiming wealth rivaling a nation; the sect has over three thousand Soul Masters, with over one thousand direct disciples and over two thousand branch disciples, making it undoubtedly one of the giants.

In the detached villa of one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's two guardian gods, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, a handsome-looking youth sits cross-legged beneath an ancient simple giant tree, his body surface flowing with a black-gray lustrous gem-like light, as if he has reached a bottleneck in cultivation.

After a long while, a sound like shattering glass emanated from the youth's body surface, and two yellow soul rings rose from his body surface.

"Hah~ Finally reached rank thirty." Gu Xuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi, and a gleam flashed in his dark-gray eyes.

Gu Xuan stood up, and the soul rings on his body surface retracted; at only twelve years old, his height had reached 1.7 meters, his physique sturdy, shoulders broad and back wide, his black short ponytail bound by a gold hairpin, looking fresh and handsome.

"After obtaining the third soul ring, I can go to the Tian Dou Royal Academy; in my previous life, the original story's Du Gu Yan apparently went to the Tian Dou Royal Academy at age fifteen." Gu Xuan clenched his fist, feeling the newly broken-through power on one side and murmuring softly on the other.

Gu Xuan is a transmigrator, and his current identity is one of the Two Great Guardian Gods of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, the grandson of Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

Because of the transmigration, Gu Xuan has studied various theoretical knowledge and trained his physique since childhood, after all he clearly knows how ridiculous the so-called soul ring limit theory is.

All soul rings before the ten-thousand-year soul ring are related to physical fitness; as long as one's will is firm and physique sufficient, absorbing a soul ring above one's level is not difficult.

Gu Xuan's first soul ring reached six hundred years; originally his second soul ring could absorb a thousand-year-level soul ring, but the quality of his second soul ring reached the pinnacle, so although its age is only six hundred years, the enhancement and benefit it brings exceed those of an ordinary thousand-year soul ring.

Because his second soul ring comes from a six-hundred-year-level Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, this kind of soul beast, is on the same level as a true dragon, and even far surpasses an ordinary true dragon.

Hundred-year ones slay thousand-year ones, thousand-year ones slay ten-thousand-year ones, and a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear that has reached the ten-thousand-year level even possesses the strength to slay hundred-thousand-year ones.

Although it's not said that a ten-thousand-year-level Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear can definitely defeat a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the fact that it can match a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in battle is already enough to prove how great its talent and strength are.

And that six-hundred-year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Soul Ring, for Gu Xuan, gives him an enhancement absolutely not weaker than a three-thousand-year Soul Ring, even far surpassing that level, so Gu Xuan, who has just turned twelve, has already broken through to level thirty in soul power.

Gu Xuan is not like in his previous life when reading novels, where transmigrators are born with full soul power and twin martial souls; his innate soul power is only level eight.

Moreover, besides cultivation, he spends a lot of time studying various theoretical knowledge and training his physique; and besides that, Gu Xuan also systematically studied pharmaceutical knowledge and alchemy, taking even more time.

So he was able to break through to level thirty just after turning twelve, which is already an extremely fast cultivation speed.

Because of Gu Xuan being a transmigrator, the current Seven Treasure Glazed Sect also differs somewhat from the original work.

For example, Bone Douluo Gu Rong's soul power just broke through to level ninety-six three months ago. For example, the Po clan, one of the four single-attribute clans, has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

These two points are the biggest differences compared to the original work, and there are even more other minor changes.

After all, as a transmigrator, Gu Xuan's ideas and his understanding of this world are also somewhat different.

Furthermore, he is Gu Rong's lone grandson and has shown talent and perseverance far beyond his peers; even if some of Gu Xuan's ideas are hard for Ning Fengzhi and them to understand, they will still go and support him.

And when Gu Xuan's ideas are proven correct, Ning Fengzhi and them will no longer look down on Gu Xuan afterward; they will also choose to follow his suggestions, which is how the current changes in the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect came about.

It is worth mentioning that the little witch Ning Rongrong in the original work has become much more obedient in this life, at least in front of Gu Xuan.

In his previous life, Ning Rongrong was level twenty-seven when she went to Shrek Academy at age twelve, whereas Ning Rongrong has already reached level twenty-six at age eleven now, which is naturally thanks to Gu Xuan's contribution.

Gu Xuan will not fear Ning Rongrong like other sect disciples, after all, in terms of status Gu Xuan is in no way inferior.

And not fearing Ning Rongrong also means Gu Xuan will not indulge her, because Gu Xuan knows Ning Rongrong's nature; if he doesn't suppress her a bit, she won't train seriously, just as the original Ning Rongrong was before joining Shrek Academy.

Now, with Gu Xuan's pressure and encouragement, Ning Rongrong is much better than in the original work.

Gu Xuan patted the invisible dust on his buttocks, lifted his leg, and walked toward the outer courtyard.

Grandfather Gu Rong is not here, then he must be at Second Uncle Chen Xin's place.

Gu Rong is one year older than Chen Xin, so Gu Xuan calls Chen Xin Second Uncle.

This Second Uncle has never married or had children in his life, so his lineage can be said to be on the verge of extinction.

However, the Seven Slaughter Sword has not been cut off, because Second Uncle Chen Xin still has a brother; although his brother is gone, he left descendants.

That is Gu Xuan's great-uncle, Chen Yuan; the great-uncle Chen Yuan's talent is ordinary, only reaching level sixty-something in his forties.

Although the Seven Slaughter Sword is a top-tier martial soul, top-tier martial souls do not necessarily mean everyone's talent is high; there are occasional exceptions.

Chen Yuan has two sons, but their talent is also ordinary; perhaps because starting from Chen Xin, the talent of the three generations above was too monstrous, while the talent of these three generations below has become ordinary.

Now Ning Fengzhi can only hope that the descendants of Chen Yuan's two sons will have better talent, and produce another Sword Douluo.

However, now that Gu Xuan, this monstrous outsider, has risen, Ning Fengzhi also does not worry at all that after he and the two great guardians pass a hundred years, the sect will have no one to guard it.
