Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 33: Exhausting Efforts to Enhance Ning Fengzhi

When I first entered the world of Soul Masters, I was hooked after my first battle.

He was thinking about how to fight and how to improve almost every moment.

However, over time, his body was left with a large number of hidden injuries without his knowledge.

If it weren't for Gu Xuan, he wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with this.

After all, everyone is the same; the more they fight, the stronger they become, but the more hidden injuries accumulate.

Although he didn't become stronger under the influence of the horse talisman, his hidden injuries disappeared, and his body returned to its current peak condition.

I feel refreshed like never before.

"Of course, after all, you're my grandfather."

Gu Xuan hasn't matured yet and needs a strong backer.

He has an inseparable blood connection with Gu Rong, and as long as he doesn't sway his position, he won't object to giving Gu Rong some benefits.

"Hehehe, alright, let's hurry back and settle you in. Grandpa has something important to do next."

Gu Rong looked at Gu Xuan with a serious expression, but then playfully pulled Gu Xuan and flew into the sky.

"By the way, Xuan'er, isn't your speed in refining soul rings a bit too fast? Is it because you haven't reached your limit yet?"

Gu Rong suddenly thought of a problem: Gu Xuan absorbed the spirit rings too quickly, as easily as drinking water, making him almost suspect that Gu Xuan's endurance limit was much higher than the age of the spirit rings.

If that's the case, then isn't the age of the spirit ring he chose for Gu Xuan a bit too low?

That would be a huge loss.

"No, it's almost at its limit. The reason it's so fast is mainly due to the special nature of my martial soul, which allows me to skip many cumbersome steps, so it just looks fast."

Ordinary soul masters need to gradually wear down the soul beast characteristics in a soul ring before absorbing it, but Gu Xuan didn't need to; the dragon flames burned it cleanly.

High speed and high efficiency.

But if there's too much, the meridians won't feel good.

Now, with the dog and horse talismans in hand, let alone thousands or tens of thousands of years, even a hundred thousand years wouldn't be a problem for Gu Xuan to absorb them.

However, Gu Xuan did not intend to rely on these two talismans to forcibly absorb high-age soul rings.

Soul rings might be very valuable to others, but they are not important to Gu Xuan at all. What matters is the type of soul ring.

If he really can't find a high-age spirit ring, he can actually absorb one with a lower age.

In his opinion, those with shorter service lives are already far superior to others.

Gu Rong grinned upon hearing Gu Xuan's answer. If they had this talent, navigating the Star Dou Great Forest would be incredibly easy. As long as they didn't exceed their physical limits, they could absorb a spirit ring in just a few minutes. Tsk tsk tsk.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

After a day of dealing with affairs, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin sat together and enjoyed dinner, served by many maids.

As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the richest sect in the world, they eat everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water, and all of them are medicinal dishes with various effects to aid cultivation.

Although reaching the realm of worldly desires doesn't have much effect, just looking at it still brings a sense of comfort.

"A whole day has passed, and I still don't know when Uncle Gu and the others will be back."

Ning Fengzhi's expression was somewhat conflicted, fearing that Gu Rong had run away with Gu Xuan and wouldn't be coming back.

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of the old man, it's impossible for him to abandon the sect."

(After all, he still needs the sect's help to nurture Xiao Xuan.)

Chen Xin knows Gu Rong very well; he can tell the old guy is about to poop just by looking at him sticking out his butt...

With a flick of his chopsticks, Chen Xin lifted a piece of fish from the table and placed it onto his chopsticks using his soul power.

When a big shot with a banned account eats, they have a lot of prestige. So don't think about any weird things during mealtime.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Xin with some resentment. They were already so familiar with each other, was it really meaningful to show off this in front of him?

Ignoring Ning Fengzhi's resentful gaze, Chen Xin happily put the fish into her mouth, as if it were some kind of delicacy.

If you have the strength but don't show it, then what's the point of cultivating that strength?

Suddenly, Chen Xin, who had been exuding elegance, stopped abruptly, her expression instantly becoming lighthearted, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"You may all leave."

Chen Xin gave instructions to the maidservant serving Ning Fengzhi.

"Yes."

The maids exchanged glances, bowed to Chen Xin, and left the room.

Ning Fengzhi truly held Chen Xin and Gu Rong in the highest regard.

If these maids dare to disregard the instructions given by Chen Xin or Gu Rong, they will be met with Ning Fengzhi's severe punishment.

Sometimes, in minor matters, Chen Xin and Gu Rong can completely ignore Ning Fengzhi once they give the order; this has become an unspoken rule of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Uncle Jian?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Xin with some confusion.

"They're back."

Chen Xin didn't say much, but the weight in her heart finally lifted.

"I'm back!"

A fleeting look of joy crossed Ning Fengzhi's face, which he quickly suppressed, returning to his usual serious demeanor.

"It's good that you're back."

Ning Fengzhi controlled his smile well, appearing gentle and refined.

Then, in the next second, Gu Rong appeared in the hall with Gu Xuan as if they had teleported.

To be honest, Gu Xuan was a little envious of this speed, but he didn't have any ideas about the Rabbit Talisman for the time being and could only wait until later.

"Uncle Gu, Xiao Xuan, you're back. How was the trip?"

Ning Fengzhi immediately stood up to greet the two upon their arrival.

Even Chen Xin stood up.

It wasn't that the two of them were particularly polite, or that the group wouldn't have thought anything of them even if they were sitting in the old banyan tree; they were simply curious about Gu Xuan's current situation.

Even if you've refined a 60,000-year-old soul bone, you shouldn't be able to break through to level 20 so quickly in just four months.

That's incredible.

Gu Xuan looked at the two of them, somewhat bewildered. He was certain that they were looking at him with probing eyes.

He assured Gu Rong that he hadn't told anyone about his breakthrough, but the two of them acted as if they had been prepared all along.

Sure enough, he couldn't underestimate anyone. Although they didn't have his perspective and knowledge as a transmigrator, they were just novices in other areas of Soul Master.

"Very good. This time I have obtained a recovery-type soul skill, which restores 40% of my health after use."

Gu Rong patted Gu Xuan's head and said proudly.

This was a scam he devised after discussing it with Gu Xuan.

Soul skills still need to be used after all. Restoring 40% of one's life is something that others won't notice, as long as the injury doesn't exceed 40%.

"hiss!"

Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi gasped in astonishment; this soul skill was simply defying the heavens.

One recovered 40% of their soul power, and the other recovered 40% of their life force.

Both of these are absolutely game-changing skills in the later stages of the game.

However, considering Gu Xuan's talent, they didn't think those two soul skills were that overpowered.
