Dugu Bo's voice was hoarse, but his face was filled with surprise and delight.
Shui Lanxin smiled gently, her beautiful eyes shining brightly. All her words, however, condensed into one sentence: "Xiao Chuan, Yan Zi, Ling Ling, welcome back!"
"Go back all!"
Shui Lanxin waved to the surrounding Soul Masters.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The group of Soul Masters bowed respectfully before retreating.
"Your Majesty?!" Upon hearing this address, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, only then noticing the dramatic change in Shui Lanxin.
It was a face more beautiful than ever before, and it also looked younger. The face that originally looked like it was in its thirties now looked like it was at most thirty years old.
Clearly, Shui Lanxin has returned to her peak physical condition.
This aura clearly indicates that he has already broken through to the level of a Title Douluo.
Shui Lanxin smiled gently, a hint of joy in her eyes.
"Is it really necessary to be so surprised? You little guys are all catching up at lightning speed, you can't expect me to stand still, can you?"
Lin Chuan snapped out of his reverie, smiled, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, "Congratulations, Dean!"
"It's all thanks to the pills you gave me earlier, Xiao Chuan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through the barrier so quickly. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Senior Dugu for helping me hunt down the soul beasts."
Shui Lanxin gently shook her head, but despite her words, she couldn't help but feel excited when she actually broke through to the Title Douluo realm.
She was the first Title Douluo of the Shui family. Although she had only recently broken through and couldn't compare to the veteran Title Douluos for the time being, she still had a certain amount of influence.
"Alright, don't just stand there at the door, come in and we'll talk!"
Shui Lanxin greeted everyone, clearly acting like the hostess.
Lin Chuan didn't find anything wrong with it, dismounted, and walked into the manor.
"Oh, right, there are a few more things I need to trouble you with, Dean. There are some ordinary civilians in the carriage that we brought back from the Star Luo Empire. I'd appreciate it if you could arrange them for us!"
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, Shui Lanxin couldn't help but show a reproachful expression.
"You little rascal, you've been ordering me around ever since you got back. I'm really destined to be a workaholic!"
"The capable should do more," Lin Chuan grinned, not feeling there was anything wrong with it at all. A hands-off manager has no conscience.
Such direct words immediately caused the beautiful woman in front of him to roll her eyes playfully, but she still waved her hand to summon a woman and asked her to make arrangements for everyone.
The group quickly entered the manor.
"Young Lin, you've been gone for two years, and I've been very worried about you!"
No sooner had he sat down than Dugu Bo couldn’t help but speak.
Heaven knows how worried he was during this time. Even though Lin Chuan had the strength to kill an ordinary Title Douluo, his soul power level was still a fatal flaw. If he were to be attacked by multiple Title Douluos, he would still be defeated.
"Grandpa, we're back safe and sound!"
Dugu Yan took her grandfather's hand and began to act coquettishly without restraint.
Lin Chuan also laughed and said, "Since I promised you, senior, I naturally wouldn't let Yanzi and the others get into trouble. I guess I haven't let you down!"
"How did you fare on your trip to the assessment site?" Dugu Bo asked again.
He could sense that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had become much stronger, but he was unsure about Lin Chuan, and couldn't even sense the other's soul power fluctuations.
This alone made Dugu Bo feel a little uneasy.
"As for the harvest... let Yanzi and the others tell us themselves!"
Lin Chuan smiled slightly, not trying to steal the spotlight.
A hint of pride flashed in Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes as she spoke in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, I've now reached level sixty-eight in soul power and have officially become a six-ring Soul Emperor!"
"What? Really?"
Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed, clearly incredulous.
If he remembered correctly, his granddaughter was only level 49 when he left, and she had leveled up by 19 in just two years?
"of course it's true!"
Seeing that Dugu Bo didn't believe her, Dugu Yan gave a soft snort and took the initiative to possess her martial spirit.
Six spirit rings appeared behind the girl, two yellow, two purple, and two black, radiating light.
"Okay, okay, that's great!"
Dugu Bo's face showed excitement, but even more so, joy.
"Lingling, what about you?" Shui Lanxin asked Ye Lingling.
The girl spoke in a cool voice, "My soul power is a little higher than Yanzi's. I am currently level 70, but because I have not obtained a soul ring, I am only a six-ring Soul Emperor for the time being."
"Ah, I still couldn't catch up with you, Lingling!"
Dugu Yan suddenly let out a mournful cry, her expression full of regret.
"Is this the divine test?"
Shui Lanxin felt a sudden dryness in her mouth, clearly having been greatly shocked.
Suddenly remembering something, she turned to look at Lin Chuan, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation, "Xiao Chuan, what is your cultivation level now?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present except Ye Lingling turned to look at her.
"Well..." Lin Chuan scratched his cheek, his expression strange, "I'm afraid it will scare you if I tell you."
Such confident words sent a chill down their spines.
Dugu Bo made a very bold conjecture, his breathing became rapid, he couldn't help but swallow, and even his expression carried a hint of madness.
"Young Lin, you wouldn't have... already broken through to the Title Douluo level, would you?"
"No way?!"
Shui Lanxin exclaimed softly, her eyes trembling slightly.
She went through so much hardship to break through to the Title Douluo level, how could she have been caught up with so quickly?
Facing the intense gazes of the group, Lin Chuan gently shook his head, "No, I've only cultivated to level ninety. I'm still one spirit ring away from becoming a Title Douluo."
"I knew it! Even if you're a prodigy, you couldn't possibly be this fast..."
Before he could finish speaking, the smile on Dugu Bo's face froze instantly.
"You... you're level 90?!"
Lin Chuan smiled and nodded.
Dugu Bo took a deep breath and felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
What's the difference between level 90 and a Title Douluo?
If I remember correctly, Lin Chuan is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, yet he is already a quasi-titled Douluo. It's simply unbelievable. Even the once-famous Haotian Douluo only reached the titled Douluo level in his forties. This directly raises the record by more than twenty years.
If not the last of its kind, then at least it's unprecedented!
"Lin boy, you really are a monster!"
Shui Lanxin nodded in agreement.
Chapter 167 A Shocking Change in the Heavenly Battle
"Senior Dugu, you flatter me. You've become much stronger too!"
Lin Chuan was not smug; he looked at Dugu Bo with a smile.
At this point, Dugu Bo suddenly became very excited, but still maintained his composure and waved his hand, "Thanks to that pill, not only did it allow my martial soul to evolve, but the remaining medicinal power also allowed me to break through to level 95. However, that's about the limit, and it should slow down from here on out."
Even so, he was already very satisfied.
The weakest Title Douluo back then is now only a step away from becoming a Super Douluo.
"Congratulations on making another great step forward, senior!"
"Alright, you little monster, stop teasing me," Dugu Bo shook his head impatiently. "I'm afraid with your current strength, I wouldn't last a single move against you!"
It sounded like a question, but the tone was very confident.
Lin Chuan simply smiled mysteriously and did not respond.
How is he supposed to respond?
I can't possibly make a ridiculous claim that Poison Douluo's strength is no less than mine, can I?
That didn't sound like a matter of social etiquette; it sounded more like mockery. After thinking it over, I decided it was better to just smile politely.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo did not delve into the matter, and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I never intended to compete with you anyway, that would be asking for trouble. But the thought of someone becoming your enemy in the future makes me feel sorry for them."
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old Title Douluo, who also possesses a soul skill capable of severely injuring a Title Douluo even at the Soul Emperor level.
The mere thought of being an enemy of such a being sends chills down one's spine.
"What you say, senior? I'm a very kind person!"
