Chapter 225: Soul Bone Distribution, Rank Sixty

After Tang Hao was slain, Gu Rong and his group harvested six soul bones, and the lowest-ranked among these six soul bones actually reached the 30,000-year level.

It must be said, Tang Hao's full set of matching soul bones made even Chen Xin and Gu Rong unable to help feeling envious.

It's no wonder Tang Hao broke through to the Titled Douluo realm at forty-four; besides his extraordinary innate talent, he also had such terrifying resource supply.

Gu Rong also appraised these six soul bones, distinguishing them one by one.

Then Ning Fengzhi distributed the six soul bones according to talent and function, with Yang Po Jun, Ma Bao, and Zhan Yu each receiving one, and the remaining three soul bones going respectively to Mi He, Zuo Yi, and Long Wu.

Thus, Tang Hao's full set of soul bones was completely divided up. After receiving a soul bone, Ma Bao, who already had obtained his fifth soul ring and whose soul power had reached rank fifty-two, saw his soul power jump directly to rank fifty-four after absorbing the soul bone.

Yang Po Jun and Zhan Yu, meanwhile, both broke through to rank fifty, needing only one more soul ring to advance to Soul King.

After absorbing their soul bones, Zuo Yi, Mi He, and Long Wu each saw their soul power break through from the peak of rank ninety-two to rank ninety-three, and thanks to the boost from the soul bones, their talent improved even further.

As the saying goes, 'when a whale falls, myriad things thrive'—Tang Hao's solitary death has likewise given rise to even more geniuses and powerhouses.

The reason Gu Xuan did not receive a soul bone is that he had previously discussed with Ning Fengzhi and the others his desire to collect a full set of 100,000-year soul bones.

Given Gu Xuan's current talent, he will surely reach that level in the future, and moreover the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect now fully possesses the capability to hunt 100,000-year soul beasts for Gu Xuan, which is why Ning Fengzhi chose not to allocate these soul bones to him.

Even Gu Xuan's own Earth Dragon Emperor Torso Bone was taken by him and given to Du Gu Yan.

Du Gu Yan's martial soul is the Ancestor, and a strong physique is especially important for him, so this soul bone is undoubtedly highly suitable for Du Gu Yan.

Moreover, if Tang Hao's torso bone hadn't been only 40,000 years old, Gu Xuan would have given the torso bone that Tang Hao dropped to Du Gu Yan.

The highest-age soul bone on Tang Hao's body is his left arm bone, which has reached the 90,000-year level; it is a top-tier soul bone from a heavy-armored giant dragon, and because it matches Long Wu extremely well, that soul bone was given to Long Wu.

And thus Long Wu became the most talented and powerful member of the current Zuo Yi, Mi He, and Long Wu trio, for his soul bone's age reaches a full 90,000 years!

When Gu Xuan learned that Tang San and the Blue Silver Emperor's whereabouts were unknown, he was completely unaffected; although Tang San wasn't captured, the present Tang San no longer has the strength to contend with him.

Moreover, even if Tang San knew he had become his enemy, it wouldn't matter, for Gu Xuan now, even when facing a Soul Douluo-level expert, already possesses the ability to defend himself; if he encounters Tang San, Gu Xuan could beat him to a pulp.

Gu Xuan then spent another four months in bitter cultivation within the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, and his soul power smoothly broke through to rank sixty; Gu Xuan is now only sixteen years old, a sixteen-year-old at rank sixty, which is truly a heaven-defying existence.

Moreover, from the conclusion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament to now, only half a year has passed, and within that half year Gu Xuan has broken through three ranks in succession!

Although others have also improved, compared to Gu Xuan they still fall far short, but there is one person who can barely be compared with Gu Xuan, and that is Du Gu Yan!

After all, she had previously taken an emperor-grade immortal pill; half a year later, Du Gu Yan's soul power rose from rank fifty-five to rank sixty, because when she initially absorbed that Earth Dragon Emperor Torso Bone, her soul power increased by two ranks.

Ye Lingling also reached rank fifty-eight, her cultivation speed not losing to Du Gu Yan in the slightest, for the soul bone she initially absorbed was a 100,000-year soul bone, and it was a perfect match for her own soul bone.

Although others have also improved, they are far from matching Gu Xuan's rapid progress.

By the way, Gu Jian's progress also greatly surprised Gu Xuan; one must know that soul beasts' cultivation mostly relies on grinding time to accumulate cultivation, and even some exceptionally talented soul beasts find cultivation far harder than humans.

But now, merely another half year has passed, and Gu Jian's cultivation has actually risen from 5,000 years to 5,600 years, which means that each month of her training equals a hundred years of cultivation for an ordinary soul beast!

Such talent is already terrifying indeed—one month equals a hundred years of others' cultivation, so one year equals twelve hundred years, ten years equals twelve thousand two hundred years, and a hundred years equals one hundred twenty thousand years of cultivation!

Damn, a hundred years for humans might be a lifetime, but for soul beasts it's just a nap—meaning they're merely sleeping, and you'd become a 100,000-year soul beast!

One can imagine how terrifying Gu Jian's cultivation speed is within the Binghuo Liangyi Yan—this is something ordinary soul beasts wouldn't even dare to imagine!

The rank-sixty Gu Xuan made no fuss, merely quietly consolidating his cultivation; during this period he had already written back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, asking Gu Rong to come to the Binghuo Liangyi Yan.

After another three days, Gu Xuan had fully stabilized his cultivation, and Gu Rong then arrived fashionably late, having been delayed by some affairs in the sect; it just so happened that Gu Xuan was leaving seclusion when Gu Rong arrived.

The others inside the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, upon seeing Gu Rong suddenly appear, immediately performed respectful salutations, for he is one of the two guardian deities of the sect, his status supremely exalted without equal; ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to even catch a glimpse of him, yet now they have seen him—how could they not be excited?

Gu Rong lightly waved his hand, and everyone who had been performing salutations instantly felt as if something in the void had lifted them up; all they heard was Gu Rong softly saying, 'No need for formalities; each of you attend to your own duties, and do not let me distract you.'

Everyone again performed respectful salutations, then, with uneasy hearts, resumed their tasks.

Gu Xuan then turned to Gu Rong and said directly, 'Grandfather, has the Evil God Pearl you sealed back then shown any anomalies?'

Gu Rong shook his head and replied, 'After sealing the Evil God Pearl initially, it did cause a disturbance for a while, but afterward there was no further movement.'

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan nodded and said, 'Grandfather, then please hand the Evil God Pearl over to me, and you will stay here to guard the law for me; if any accident occurs, seal the Evil God Pearl immediately.'

Gu Rong already knew from the letter what Gu Xuan intended to do; although he himself was greatly astonished by Gu Xuan's maneuver, he now no longer questions Gu Xuan.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's present state is thanks to Gu Xuan's merits, which can be described as paramount; without Gu Xuan, there would be no Seven Treasure Glazed Sect today, nor the current Gu Rong!

ps: Typos will be corrected later.

I'm really sorry; something happened on my trip home, so I couldn't update in time, but I'll release a burst of chapters later to make up for it.

Also, it's a new month—count up the recommendation tickets and monthly tickets! Those who are able can also throw a reward.

Thank you!!!
