Chapter 128: Fire God Inheritance? Meeting Zhang Leyuan【4000】

"What are you thanking me for."

"From now on, we're our own people."

The Blazing Apricot Delicate stood with her hands on her hips, a look of indifference on her face. Honestly, becoming Ma Xiaotao's soul spirit in this way, with her soul still present, she felt it was actually quite good.

"At least this little girl's talent is truly top-tier."

"Even if she can't reach the level of that person from ten thousand years ago, she definitely won't be an unknown person."

She understood very clearly that she couldn't escape this calamity anyway, so why not make herself feel better?

At least now, she could go see the scenery on the continent with the other party, which was much better than the days at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, day after day, year after year.

"At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it was either cultivation or cultivation, either sleeping or sleeping..."

"Getting some fresh air is also quite good."

The Blazing Apricot Delicate's ability to accept things was clearly not bad, and her personality was also exceptionally optimistic; at this moment, she was already comforting herself in her heart, without any dissatisfaction.

Of course, all of this was based on the other party being a proud daughter of heaven, especially with her talent being highly recognized by her; otherwise, it would be impossible to be so optimistic.

【Congratulations to the host for helping Ma Xiaotao obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul spirit】

【Fifth soul ring limit default +200,000 years】

【Effect will be increased after the host absorbs the fifth soul ring】

"My goodness."

Listening to these words, Tang Wulin couldn't hold back. Increasing cultivation by two hundred thousand years—what kind of concept was this! To put it mildly, even if his fifth soul ring only absorbed a 200-year soul ring, the limit would reach 200,200 years.

And if he absorbed a powerful soul beast, the effect would be even more outstanding.

For example, Di Tian, who had seventy years of cultivation; if he absorbed him as a soul spirit, this limit would be enough to let him break through two hundred thousand years and reach the level of nearly one million years!

"But it's absolutely impossible for Di Tian to be my soul spirit; that way, there would be no one to look after the Star Dou Great Forest..."

"If there's a chance, I still have to go to the Far North."

Tang Wulin thought thoughtfully, and soon he had an idea. It was the head of the three great kings of the Far North, who was also ranked third among the ten great fierce beasts of the continent—the Snow Emperor.

The other party was now approaching 70 years of cultivation and couldn't withstand this heavenly tribulation.

If he could absorb the other party as a soul ring, on one hand, he would get a decent soul spirit, and on the other hand, wouldn't it be helping the other party break through the heavenly tribulation in an alternative way!

"Little Sister Xiaotao is very good."

Ziji smiled, looking at Ma Xiaotao, whose strength had increased, and offered her congratulations.

A human obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul beast sacrifice—this was something rarely recorded in the entire soul beast history of the Douluo Continent. She was truly happy for Xiaotao from the bottom of her heart.

"No."

"It's all because Wulin dotes on me."

Ma Xiaotao smiled shyly upon hearing this. She was able to get this, wasn't it all because of Wulin?

Wulin was the great hero! If Wulin wasn't here, even if her talent wasn't weak, how could she make any waves? Not to mention wanting a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to sacrifice to her.

It wasn't that she was saying it, but what kind of pillow would you have to use to make a soul beast sacrifice to you based on personal charm? "Don't belittle yourself."

"Xiaotao is the best genius, and letting the Blazing Apricot Delicate sacrifice herself is also her best path."

Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head.

"Right, exactly."

The Blazing Apricot Delicate nodded very sensibly. It was truly a case of having to bow one's head under the eaves...

However, when her gaze fell on Tang Wulin, she couldn't help but feel a burst of shock and curiosity. Curiosity, of course, was because the other party exuded a kingly aura without even trying.

And shock was because Di Tian called him Master!

Letting Di Tian call him Master—the gold content of this could be said to be boundless. Even if he listed all the powerhouses in this world, he was afraid he didn't know anyone who could be stronger than the other party.

And such a person, a human boy called Master by him—how terrifying must he be?

Because of this, although the other party's strength was the weakest, she didn't dare to say anything to affect the other party's good mood; she was just a bit fierce, but not stupid.

"Am I really that powerful..."

Being praised by Tang Wulin, Ma Xiaotao blushed, a bright light flashing in her beautiful eyes, but she said very modestly.

If others said it, she might not believe it, but if it was Wulin saying it, then of course she believed it deeply. This word, must listen! "Of course powerful."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you have the potential to become a god."

Tang Wulin smiled in agreement and was about to say it, but the next moment, he realized a very important problem.

Potential to become a god?

Just having this potential was too humble a statement. You have to know, he could now directly give the other party the Fire God inheritance assessment; this was already half a foot into the God Realm.

"Become a god."

Hearing these two words, everyone present couldn't help but gasp. The meaning of these two words was too heavy.

For the people of the Douluo Continent, a Title Douluo was the highest stage they pursued, among which there were Super Douluo, and finally, the top, peerless Douluo.

And gods, honestly, almost no one dared to think about it. You have to know, this was a god!

The data on humans becoming gods in the entire Douluo Continent was only that of Tang San, the Sea God from ten thousand years ago, and the mother-daughter pair from the Spirit Hall.

Potential to become a god that appears once in a thousand or ten thousand years?

Even Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but be stunned, pointing her finger at herself, her face carrying a sense of disbelief, and her heart fell into a trance.

A soul master like her.

Could she also achieve a divine position?

"Little Sister Xiaotao."

"Can she break through to that level... I think there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Ziji thought, feeling that this wasn't such an unexpected thing. She believed in her sister, and even more, she believed in Wulin's vision! "This person's bloodline isn't weak, and she is favored by the Master; the future is promising."

Di Tian also wore a smile, maintaining a deep belief in the Master's words.

Besides, the other party had now obtained a hundred-thousand-year seventh soul ring; with such resources, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve a great career in the future.

"Become a god?"

"Even if her talent is good, she can't bear it."

The Blazing Apricot Delicate took a deep breath and shook her head. As the only one present who didn't quite trust it, her heart was full of distrust.

She didn't refer to other people's thoughts, nor did she know what abilities the person whom Di Tian respectfully called Master had. She only knew that becoming a god wasn't so easy.

Although she knew the soul master she chose wasn't weak, if she said she had the potential to become a god, she could only say it was wishful thinking.

Even with her sacrifice, the other party couldn't do it.

Becoming a god is very difficult! "Wulin is really praising me too much."

"And he said I have the potential to become a god; if this goes on, I'll be a bit floating."

Ma Xiaotao came back to her senses, looked at Tang Wulin's trusting gaze, couldn't help but blush, and subconsciously shook her head, clearly wanting to refuse, but just at this moment.

Following a domineering aura emerging between heaven and earth, nine fiery red energy marks fell on Ma Xiaotao.

And it was precisely the appearance of these auras that pushed everyone's mood to a new peak.

"This aura is..." "Divine power?"

Feeling this momentum that was different from ordinary soul power, Di Tian and Ziji couldn't help but frown.

Especially the former, who suddenly had a strange feeling at this moment, as if he had had some contact with it before.

"If this isn't divine power, then what is!"

A flash of hatred flashed across Di Tian's face, and then it turned into a burst of astonishment and bewilderment. Divine power helping—this was truly a situation that could only happen if one was favored by a god.

Ziji might not be too sure about the authenticity of this matter, but as a loyal guard who once served the Dragon God, Di Tian understood much more. This aura was truly a god! "Could it be that Xiaotao really has the potential to become a god like Wulin said."

Ziji's heart also moved. She didn't

Thinking about it this way, having a sister with the potential to become a god is actually not a bad experience.

"No... it's not."

"What's wrong with you!"

The Hot Fire Apricot's jaw nearly dropped to the floor; she stared at Ma Xiaotao in shock, as if she were meeting her for the first time.

Well, they were indeed meeting for the first time, but this fluctuation of aura was truly terrifying!

Is this something a human or beast on the Douluo Continent could achieve? She wasn't very clear on that, but seeing Di Tian's reaction earlier—where even he was startled—she guessed it probably wasn't possible.

"I..."

"What is this..."

Feeling everything happening before her, Ma Xiaotao herself was completely bewildered, her small face filled with shock, while a voice had already echoed in her mind.

"Nine Trials of the Fire God."

"Once passed, you shall be the next Fire God."

In Ma Xiaotao's mind, a red-haired figure stood before her, speaking in a gentle voice.

Although she couldn't make out the other's appearance, the aura in every gesture was clearly extraordinary, especially the line the other had used to introduce themselves earlier.

"Inheritance! The Nine Trials of the Fire God?"

The Fire God's inheritance!

These four understated words alone brought her a shock that could not be described with language.

She had obtained the inheritance of a deity!

And it was the Fire God, no less! "It's actually the Fire God..."

Ma Xiaotao suppressed the excitement in her heart, unable to help but mutter to herself; if it were some other deity, she might not have recognized them as well.

But she knew this deity all too well.

Ten thousand years ago, after that generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters all ascended to become gods, the records of their apotheosis were compiled into booklets, preserved by the Academy, and stored in the Sea God Pavilion.

According to the records, god positions were divided into first, second, and third ranks; third-rank gods were generally minor gods, second-rank gods were considered proper gods, and only first-rank gods could be considered true powerhouses.

Ten thousand years ago, that generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters all ascended; apart from Tang San and Xiao Wu, the other five were all second-rank gods.

At that time, the Phoenix Douluo Ma Hongjun, who had broken through the soul power limit and possessed a Phoenix martial soul, wanted to obtain the Fire God's inheritance, but was rejected by the Fire God because his own strength was insufficient.

She never expected that today, she would receive the Fire God's favor! This was something even the Shrek seniors of the past had failed to obtain.

"Wulin, I have received the inheritance trial of a first-rank god from the God Realm, the Fire God!"

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, looked toward Tang Wulin, and spoke.

"The Fire God's inheritance, that's great."

Hearing this, Di Tian and Zi Ji, who had already sensed something, didn't feel particularly shocked, and Tang Wulin even less so, since he was the one who had gifted her this inheritance.

But as a former heavenly treasure that hadn't seen much of the world, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast Hot Fire Apricot was now so excited she couldn't speak.

"You really have an inheritance!"

"Does that mean I don't have to die, and in the future, I can live the high life with you after you become a god, doing whatever I want?"

A strange light flashed in the Hot Fire Apricot's eyes, her face full of excitement as she couldn't help but ask.

"Once I become a god, I certainly won't have to die..."

"That's how it's said, but 'doing whatever I want' isn't right; I will listen well to Wulin's arrangements and suggestions."

Ma Xiaotao nodded first, then shook her head, which served as her response to the other's question.

"You..."

The Hot Fire Apricot's first reaction was frustration; why bother with others when you have a god-level inheritance?

But then she thought about it—she was a soul spirit gifted to Xiaotao by that person—so she had to let it go.

"Xiaotao, work hard on your cultivation."

"I look forward to the day you become a god."

Tang Wulin wore an expectant smile; he was actually quite curious what Xiaotao would look like when she became the Fire God.

"I will."

Ma Xiaotao nodded earnestly, and while speaking, she pushed the Hot Fire Apricot, who was blocking her way, to the side and threw herself into Tang Wulin's arms.

"It's all because of Wulin that I could obtain this; once I become a god, I will definitely protect Wulin well too..."

Ma Xiaotao snuggled into his arms; despite being the weaker party, her words were so assertive that Tang Wulin was left between laughter and tears.

"Good."

"I believe you can protect me."

Tang Wulin nodded with a smile, though he himself had a personality that neither sought trouble nor feared it, so he figured there wouldn't be many chances for her to protect him.

"Human woman! Don't you run."

"Your companion has come to pick a fight with me time and again, and even killed my son. Today, I will make all of you pay in blood, and that old man too—don't think about living!"

"I said, my companions and I have never done anything to wrong you; stop spouting nonsense!"

Just then, the sounds of battle from not far away spread to this spot; the battlefield was almost right under their noses.

"This voice is so familiar."

Ma Xiaotao was startled; for some reason, the human among those two opposing voices gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"What's that commotion?"

Di Tian's face wore a serious expression; a human actually dared to fight a soul beast in the inner circle—this was showing no respect for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Furthermore, the Lord was still here; how could he allow the other to be so presumptuous! Thinking this, he instantly released his spatial power, confining the figures—one running, one chasing—and causing them to appear before everyone.

The one attacking was a silver-white tiger with a strange bloodline and a crescent mark on its forehead.

The one defending was an exceptionally beautiful older sister, wearing a refined light purple long dress; even while being hunted, she maintained a calm and composed appearance.

"Big..."

"Big Senior Sister?"

Seeing that familiar woman appear before her, Ma Xiaotao froze; wasn't this her big sister from the Inner Court, the Big Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan?
