Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 28: Absorbing the Soul Ring

Both sides made their moves almost simultaneously.

Qian Renxue and Yifang Shelong charged directly towards the Holy Radiance Unicorn herd, gliding along the ground like a snake, and appeared in the midst of the Holy Radiance Unicorn herd in the blink of an eye.

A gigantic snake shadow appeared, seemingly unleashing its true Martial Soul form.

There was no way around it; the pressure from Gu Rong was too great. If we didn't go all out, we were afraid Gu Rong would launch a sneak attack.

After all, Gu Rong's reputation was among the highest levels of the Soul Master world...

While not exactly a bad person, he certainly wasn't an honest one.

Unlike She Long, Gu Rong narrowed his eyes and summoned his eighth spirit ring the instant She Long made his move. His left hand passed directly through the eighth spirit ring, and through the ultimate use of his spirit skill, his hand appeared strangely among the unicorn herd.

The commotion caused by the simultaneous attack of the two titled Douluo was terrifying, and the group of Holy Radiance Unicorns looked as if they had seen a ghost.

But before they could scatter and flee, the giant serpent that Shelong had transformed into had already bitten a seven-thousand-year-old Holy Radiance Unicorn and turned to run away, as if there were some ferocious beast behind it.

She Long's martial soul has a special effect: he can freely switch between the beast martial soul Twin-Headed Serpent and the weapon martial soul Serpent Spear, granting the soul master different amplifications respectively.

Gu Rong's approach was much simpler. He grabbed a Holy Radiance Unicorn by the scruff of its neck and pulled it backward, dragging the four-thousand-year-old Holy Radiance Unicorn into his spatial dimension. When it reappeared, it was already beside Gu Xuan and Gu Rong.

"Let's go!" ×2

Gu Rong and She Long spoke at the same time, and then, with great tacit understanding, they each headed off in a different direction.

Gu Xuan, with the help of the ancient banyan tree, was much faster than Qian Renxue and the others.

Qian Renxue turned back halfway and looked directly behind her, her eyes filled with undisguised caution.

What a bizarre method.

If this ability were used for assassination, who could escape it except for a powerful Title Douluo?

No wonder the Soul Master world calls him the most bizarre person on the continent; even Ghost Douluo is not as bizarre as him.

Qian Renxue believed that if Gu Rong wanted to assassinate her, She Long and Ci Xue would have absolutely no chance of defending themselves.

I'll probably have to hide even more deeply once I get back.

Having witnessed the terror of the Ancient Banyan Tree, Qian Renxue became even more curious about the person who could bring the Ancient Banyan Tree to hunt for spirit rings.

"Elder Thornblood, go back and investigate when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School produced such a genius who deserves such attention from the school. I need all his information within three days."

Qian Renxue said to Ci Xue, who was carrying her.

"Yes, young master, I will begin the investigation as soon as I return."

Seeing that Qian Renxue was interested in Gu Xuan, Ci Xue decided to investigate as well.

However, they could only investigate secretly.

Meanwhile, Gu Rong led Gu Xuan to a stop in a valley. Originally, there were many monkey-like spirit beasts living in the valley, but they quickly fled after sensing Gu Rong's aura.

Looking at the monkey king, whose strongest troop was only about five thousand years old, Gu Xuan looked away with a sense of relief.

The ability to change things up is indeed quite good, but the time limit is too short and does not meet the conditions he will add later.

"Xuan'er, will there be monkey-related options among the spirit rings you absorb in the future?"

Gu Rong looked at Gu Xuan with curiosity and asked.

"Yes, we do have it, but we don't need it for the time being."

Gu Xuan planned to tell Gu Rong about the types of soul beasts he would need after returning, and then ask him to keep an eye out for them.

Apart from the first five, which cannot be changed, the rest of the spirit rings are basically irrelevant.

Gu Xuan's requirements for the first five soul rings are dog, horse, rat, sheep, and tiger.

With these talismans, he basically wouldn't need to worry about anything in the later stages. He could just cultivate step by step, and his soul rings would come naturally.

"Monkeys?"

As Gu Rong watched the departing monkeys, his thoughts drifted to the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Apes are monkeys, right?

A 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape is barely qualified to be his grandson's soul ring.

"Alright, Grandpa, don't think about it too much. Let me absorb this soul beast's soul ring first."

Gu Xuan looked at the Holy Radiance Unicorn with burning eyes.

The Holy Radiance Unicorn lives up to its name; even in its current state of decline, it still exudes a sense of holiness.

I couldn't see it clearly from a distance before, but now that it's closer, I realize that the Holy Light Unicorn is really big.

This Holy Radiance Unicorn, which is only four thousand years old, is already five meters tall. So this is quite a huge lump.

As a creature of good fortune, the Holy Radiance Unicorn clearly possesses remarkable intelligence, and its gaze toward Gu Xuan is filled with pleading.

When a beautiful creature shows a pitiful look, it's hard not to soften one's heart, and Gu Xuan was no exception.

Seeing this, Gu Rong didn't say much, just quietly watched Gu Xuan without urging him.

How can a powerful Soul Master function without a steadfast heart? A heart that cannot be swayed by anything, not even a beautiful Soul Beast or a beautiful woman, is the heart of a true strongman.

Turning his head to the side, Gu Xuan raised his hand directly.

If you can't bear to watch it, then don't watch it.

boom!

A torrent of raging dragon flames erupted from Gu Xuan's palm, engulfing the Holy Radiance Unicorn.

To minimize its suffering, Gu Xuan activated both talismans simultaneously, unleashing an inexhaustible supply of soul power. At maximum output, the Holy Radiance Unicorn was roasted to a crisp before it even had a chance to howl.

The air was filled with the smell of burning.

Gu Rong's brows twitched when he saw this scene; his grandson was a ruthless person.

However, one cannot stand firm without being ruthless; if you want to become a strong person, you won't have the chance without being ruthless.

As the Holy Radiance Unicorn died and turned into charcoal, a purple soul ring slowly emerged from the charred unicorn.

"Xuan'er, are you confident?"

Gu Rong looked at the spirit ring with some concern.

This is a four-thousand-year-old spirit ring! And you're already going this far with your second spirit ring?

"Grandpa, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in soul bones. A 60,000-year-old soul bone increasing soul power by 4,000 years is really not that high."

Gu Xuan comforted Gu Rong and then sat cross-legged beside the Holy Radiance Unicorn.

As the soul power flowed, the Holy Lord's Stone Tablet appeared behind Gu Xuan. With a flash of red light in the Holy Lord's eyes, the soul ring that had been floating in the air was directly attached to Gu Xuan.

Although it was a huge leap for others, it didn't put much pressure on Gu Xuan.

After all, the foundation is there, and the age of this soul beast is indeed within Gu Xuan's tolerance range.

So as time passed, the ancient banyan tree gradually calmed down.

His body didn't even tremble, so it seems he hasn't reached his limit yet.

Gu Rong nodded, his smile growing even wider, and in his heart, he became more certain of his decision.

Suddenly, Gu Rong's expression changed instantly. She turned around sharply to look behind her, her eyes filled with intense killing intent as if her secret had been discovered.
