Chapter 286: Dragon God Titled Douluo, the Descent of the Asura God's Thought
Gu Rong and Chen Xin saw the golden ninth soul ring on Gu Xuan's body surface, and they both showed a look of shock.
As everyone knows, the color of a soul ring is determined by its age, from low to high: ten-year white, hundred-year yellow, thousand-year purple, ten-thousand-year black, and the topmost hundred-thousand-year red.
As for the golden soul ring, not only had they never seen it, they had never even heard of it.
Even though Gu Xuan had already retracted his soul ring just now, the scene they had just seen still flickered in the eyes of the two elders.
"A golden soul ring? How terrifying is this Deep Sea Devil Whale King?!" Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, both wearing expressions of disbelief.
Gu Xuan flashed into the void and instantly appeared before the two elders, smiling slightly: "Grandfather, Second Uncle, this harvest is not bad; the Deep Sea Devil Whale King not only bestowed upon me a million-year soul ring and soul bone, but also allowed my physical constitution and spiritual power to reach the demigod level completely."
"Although my soul power is currently only ninety-seven rank, once I fully master this strength and break through to a hundred rank in soul power, I can then strive for the true divine position."
Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words and recalling the golden soul ring they had just seen, both Gu Rong and Chen Xin were greatly shocked.
"A million-year soul ring?!" They couldn't help but exclaim: "Doesn't that mean you already possess a million-year soul spirit?"
"That's a terrifying existence on par with a hundred rank; does such a terrifying existence really exist in this world?"
Gu Xuan smiled slightly and replied: "You two elders shouldn't be surprised; although the Deep Sea Devil Whale King's spiritual power successfully reached a hundred rank, lacking a physical body, it also wouldn't attract heavenly tribulation, and to me it merely increased some combat power."
"Actually, the greatest gain is the million-year soul ring and soul bone skills granted by the Deep Sea Devil Whale King; together they amount to as many as eight skills, each of which is an extremely powerful existence."
"What?!" Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the two elders exclaimed again: "One soul ring plus one soul bone would give Gu Xuan eight skills?"
Could this be the power of a million-year soul ring?
Know that although a Soul Master having more soul skills doesn't necessarily mean his strength is definitely greater, after all using soul skills consumes soul power; having many skills doesn't guarantee enough soul power to release them.
However, the advantage of having many soul skills is something others can never experience, because you have plenty of skills, each very powerful, which means you can select the most cost-effective skill from among many to face the enemy.
This way, no matter what type of Soul Master you face, you won't be at a loss, and even due to a reasonable combination of your soul skills, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
One soul ring and soul bone gave Gu Xuan another eight powerful soul skills; the number of soul skills Gu Xuan now possesses might even surpass that of a twin martial soul wielder, right?
Strong attack, defense, space, long-range, close combat, and even support…… Gu Xuan has already become a completely all-around Soul Master.
Now Gu Xuan not only has soul power reaching ninety-seven rank, but he can also single-handedly withstand ten thousand troops; this is absolutely no exaggeration, because the current Gu Xuan is simply too powerful.
Gu Xuan didn't go through each of his soul skills one by one to introduce them to the two elders, because there was no longer much need to do so.
When Gu Xuan was young, whenever he obtained a soul skill he would tell the two elders, because at that time his strength was average and he hoped to receive their guidance.
But now it's different; Gu Xuan's strength has far surpassed the two elders, so even telling them his soul skills wouldn't bring him any improvement.
Of course, unless Gu Xuan's soul skills share similarities with those of the two elders, otherwise telling them would be meaningless and would instead require time to explain.
The eight newly added soul skills of Gu Xuan that come from the Deep Sea Devil Whale King's soul ring and soul bone— as the current continent's first million-year-level soul beast openly known, its soul ring and soul bone each carry four skills; although exaggerated, it is still within an acceptable range.
"Xuan'er, you are now also a Titled Douluo; have you decided on your title?" Gu Rong asked.
Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "I've decided; my title shall be Dragon God."
Upon hearing this title, the two elders exchanged a glance and then smiled at each other: "Dragon God Titled Douluo, this title is domineering enough and can highlight your abilities; not bad."
As for titles, Gu Xuan actually didn't care much; he simply picked one at random, as long as it sounded good.
After reporting his progress to the two elders, Gu Xuan then took out the whale pearl left by the Deep Sea Devil Whale King; this item contains roughly one-third of the whale king's total energy, absolutely a supreme treasure.
As a million-year soul beast, even one-third of its energy would absolutely give Chen Xin and Gu Rong, super Douluo of their level, a tremendous boost.
Of course, Gu Xuan would naturally not simply hand over the whale pearl to the two elders now, as doing so would be too wasteful.
Gu Xuan only said: "Grandfather, Second Uncle, this whale pearl contains one-third of the Deep Sea Devil Whale King's source power; after returning, give it to the teacher to have him refine a precious pill for you, which should be enough for you to break through to a higher realm in a short time."
Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the two elders wore looks of disbelief, because Gu Xuan said this thing could allow them to break through again in a period of time; they were naturally overjoyed.
Moreover, the boost that the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King's whale pearl gave them back then has not yet been exhausted; now seeing this Deep Sea Devil Whale King's whale pearl, the two elders smiled radiantly.
Gu Rong also didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Xuan, after all Gu Xuan being able to produce this item naturally indicates he doesn't really need it.
"Thank you for your thought." Gu Rong took the whale pearl, feeling relieved.
Afterwards Gu Xuan said to the two elders: "You two should quickly return to the sect; nowadays Uncle is preparing the unification plan, and we are in need of manpower, so I won't see you off."
Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Gu Rong gave Gu Xuan a white-eyed look: "How come you're allowed to go see Rong Rong and the others, but we two old men aren't allowed to go?"
Gu Xuan gave a bitter laugh: "Grandfather, you're wronging me; mainly, it's not suitable for you two elders to go right now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin nodded rationally and then said: "Alright, since your affairs are settled here, we'll be leaving."
Afterwards Gu Rong and Chen Xin gave Gu Xuan some reminders, then directly departed.
Gu Xuan watched the backs of the two elders as they left, intending to go to Sea God Island to visit his wives; the slaughter mark on his brow suddenly flashed, and his consciousness directly entered a special space.
Feeling the friendly slaughter aura, Gu Xuan looked around this space and realized only his consciousness had been summoned here; his true body at that moment stood still upon the sea surface.
Gu Xuan knew this was the Asura God King using his inheritance imprint to cause trouble, merely not knowing why the Asura God King did this.
Could it be to bestow a divine position inheritance?
But back when Gu Xuan wanted it, he didn't give it; now Gu Xuan no longer needs it, yet he proactively sends it to his door—what does that mean?
Just as Gu Xuan was pondering in doubt, a figure appeared before him— a handsome man standing two and a half meters tall, with purple-black hair reaching his shoulders, and behind him actually having eight-armed divine wheels, gazing deeply at him.
Before Gu Xuan could speak, the handsome man's unquestionable voice already sounded: "Hello, my inheritor; I am the Supreme Enforcement God King of the Divine Realm—Asura God King. Your talent is extraordinarily rare; even I, in my youth at your age, had not achieved such accomplishments. Today I descend to bestow upon you a divine inheritance; are you willing to accept?"
