Chapter 228: Gu Xuan's Improvement, Two 100,000-Year Soul Skills

Gu Xuan is only level sixty-one, because the boost from the Evil God Pearl mainly lies in mental strength and physique, so his soul power hasn't improved much.

But the soul power strength of ancient and modern Gu Xuan is already comparable to that of a Titled Douluo-level expert, so even though his soul power increase is not much, Gu Xuan can accept it.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Xuan obtained two powerful 100,000-year soul skills; with these two skills, his strength has received a terrifying boost.

Moreover, his improvement goes beyond that, because having fully refined the Evil God Pearl, the eight elemental abilities he previously mastered have also been further enhanced.

Originally, Gu Xuan mainly mastered spatial power, fire element, ice element, and lightning element; the remaining wind, darkness, time, and evil power were only grasped at a superficial level.

Because of refining the Evil God Pearl, Gu Xuan has now brought these several attributes from merely superficial grasp up to a level equal to the other attributes.

Of course, among these eight attributes, Gu Xuan is still most proficient in the spatial attribute, because his Bone Dragon martial soul inherently possesses this attribute.

With the increase in attributes, when Gu Xuan uses the Golden Rank Second Awakening again in the future, the power of the Dragon God Domain will also undergo a terrifying increase.

Gu Xuan's two 100,000-year soul skills are one defensive and one offensive, making up for his previous weakness in defense.

Gu Xuan's defensive weakness is defined based on his strong attack; if placed at the same level, his defense is also top-tier.

These two soul skills are Evil God Protection and Life-and-Death Arena.

Evil God Protection, as the name suggests, is a pure defensive skill that uses powerful Evil God power to form an absolute shield; with Gu Xuan's current strength and the strengthening from inheriting the deathly qi that the Evil God collected for tens of thousands of years within the Evil God Pearl, this soul skill can help him withstand a single attack from a Titled Douluo.

Don't just look at it only being able to block one attack from a Titled Douluo; but consider that Gu Xuan is only level sixty-one, having this defensive power is absolutely terrifying.

As for attacks at the Titled Douluo level, there's no need to say more; in the future, as long as he uses this skill, Gu Xuan can directly clash head-on with Soul Masters below Titled Douluo level, and he will no longer need to waste soul power using his fourth soul skill to flee.

The Life-and-Death Arena skill is even more heaven-defying than Evil God Protection; because as soon as this soul skill hits someone, they will be forcibly dragged into the Life-and-Death Arena within the Evil God Space, and their age will also keep getting smaller over time.

Of course, it's not just age that shrinks; as the opponent's age decreases, their strength will also be weakened to match the strength they had at that age.

This point, Tang San from the original work can deeply relate to; if it weren't for the final Tang San using the Purple Extreme Divine Light to break the Dark Evil God Tiger's Evil God Protection, causing the Dark Evil God Tiger to also be affected by the soul skill and shrink, the Douluo Continent would have already ended prematurely.

Now Gu Xuan is the same; when using the Life-and-Death Arena soul skill, he must also have the Evil God Protection soul skill as a prerequisite, otherwise he too would be affected by this skill.

Nevertheless, Gu Xuan now has a last-ditch trump card against opponents below level ninety-five, because Evil God Protection can indeed block a single strike from a Titled Douluo, except that this strike's power cannot exceed that of a level ninety-five Titled Douluo.

Because against opponents above level ninety-five, the enemy fully has the capability to kill him when he activates the Life-and-Death Arena.

However, if Gu Xuan drags someone into the Life-and-Death Arena, he feels that even a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo he could kill, after all he started tempering his body at age three, and he doesn't believe those powerhouses could also start training from age three.

However, this skill has a major limitation: it can only be used once within three hundred days, which is practically equivalent to being usable only once a year.

Moreover, the cooldown time is still calculated from after Gu Xuan uses this soul skill, meaning that after he uses this soul skill, he must wait three hundred days before using it again.

But even so, Gu Xuan now possesses a trump card for directly confronting a Titled Douluo; although the cooldown is long, it is sufficient for him to protect himself in sudden situations.

Gu Rong excitedly looked at Gu Xuan and asked, "Xuan'er, how many soul skills does your 100,000-year soul ring have?"

Gu Xuan replied: "Two."

"How is the power?"

Gu Xuan smiled slightly, explained the effects of Evil God Protection and Life-and-Death Arena to Gu Rong in full; after hearing it, Gu Rong was completely dumbfounded on the spot.

Is this even a soul skill? This must be a divine skill, right?

You're only level sixty-one, yet you actually have the strength to directly oppose a Titled Douluo?

Furthermore, judging by the special nature of the Life-and-Death Arena skill, Gu Xuan no longer merely has the strength to oppose a Titled Douluo head-on; he now has the power to slaughter a Titled Douluo.

Although the cooldown of the Life-and-Death Arena is a full three hundred days, after three hundred days Gu Xuan will be a fine fellow again!

Moreover, most importantly, this soul skill can be used no matter what realm Gu Xuan reaches, because even if Gu Xuan cultivates to level ninety-nine in the future, facing a Peerless Douluo who is also level ninety-nine.

As long as Gu Xuan uses this skill, it can almost be said that he can slaughter the opponent without lifting a finger; this isn't a divine skill, what is?

Gu Rong just looked at Gu Xuan, his eyes full of envy besides envy; why doesn't he have such an opportunity?

Originally Gu Rong thought that merely possessing spatial power was already enough to be weird; it seems that in the future, the title of the weirdest Titled Douluo will belong to Gu Xuan.

Moreover, he himself only learned more applications of spatial power from Gu Xuan; sometimes Gu Rong wonders, "I really don't know how this brat's brain grew, his ideas are simply flights of fancy!"

However, excitement aside, Gu Xuan temporarily does not plan to reveal it, so he naturally cannot currently see Gu Xuan using this skill to shine brightly.

Gu Xuan also thought of other things, like going to fight Qian Renxue right now? Having the Life-and-Death Arena soul skill, no matter how awesome Qian Renxue is, at this stage I can handle her.

However, Gu Xuan soon abandoned this idea, because the Life-and-Death Arena still has a special requirement: after entering the Evil God Space, only one person can leave alive.

Gu Xuan intends to marry Qian Renxue and make her his sixth; killing her would truly be a shame.

Afterward, Gu Rong instructed Gu Xuan on some matters, then returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect with an excited heart, unable to resist sharing this good news with that old man Chen Xin.

Don't let him take a wife, look at himself? This grandson's talent, see if he's envious or not!

Gu Xuan then began his next-step cultivation plan; now that he already possesses the ability to protect himself, naturally he won't keep lazing around in the Binghuo Liangyi Yan.

Therefore, after Gu Rong left, Gu Xuan gathered his little girlfriend and little followers; the next-step cultivation plan he had devised for them can now be implemented.
