Everyone's Attention at Once! Liang Hao's Turning Point!

Bibi Dong, of course, did not know, nor would she admit to having any thoughts about it.

In any case, she continued to wait and worry.

Her only hope now was that Liang Hao could absorb the Soul Ring normally and become the first pioneer.

As for Liang Hao, after drawing the Soul Ring to himself and beginning to absorb it, he embarked on a long struggle.

His body had long since been strengthened enough, but this was his first time absorbing a Soul Ring, and it was far beyond the age limit.

Fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on Liang Hao's forehead, showing just how difficult it was.

But no one knew whether he would ultimately succeed; they could only guess.

The Douluo characters watching the show from outside began discussing it as well.

In the Light Screen Chat Group.

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Damn, this is really dragging. It took so long just to get to absorbing the first ring."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Liang Hao and Bibi Dong kept going on about Yu Xiaogang earlier. What a waste of time."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Still, I wonder whether he can absorb this Soul Ring. Gangzi really did say he couldn't."

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "Gangzi said he couldn't absorb it, but hasn't Liang Hao already taken Whale Rubber?"

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "Anyway, I'm not about to believe this Grandmaster Anus."

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "I think he can do it. A thousand-year First Soul Ring—that's terrifying!"

[Douluo I Oscar]: "Why do we keep guessing? Aren't there people here from later eras?"

[Douluo I Oscar]: "Juniors, can you talk about this sort of thing?"

[Douluo II Huo Yuhao]: "It looks like we can't. Let me try. Refining the body with Whale Rubber is possible, and a thousand-year First Soul Ring in our era is XXX."

[Douluo II Huo Yuhao]: "No good... I can talk about Whale Rubber body refining because it's already been exposed."

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "You can't say? Then things really are a little uncertain."

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "Could Gangzi actually be right this time? Is absorbing a thousand-year ring as the First Soul Ring really not allowed?"

After all, the people from later eras really could not reveal the future.

On top of that, Yu Xiaogang had repeatedly made his claims so loudly that quite a few people were genuinely worried.

Although most people disliked Gangzi, they also acknowledged how terrifying it was to absorb a thousand-year First Soul Ring. It ought to be very difficult to accomplish.

Yu Xiaogang himself watched the messages in the Light Screen Chat Group and Liang Hao's performance on the light screen.

Naturally, he was smug as well.

Outside Heaven Dou City.

Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly at the light screen and said through gritted teeth:

"Hmph, what the hell do these pieces of trash know about theory? Do you really think he can absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring?"

"Just wait. When he fails to absorb it, dies, and his Dao vanishes, you'll understand!"

"I refuse to believe you can succeed!"

Although he still had not spoken in the Light Screen Chat Group, his attitude was already clear.

Nuoding Academy.

Xiao Wu still felt a little uncomfortable, and Tang San noticed.

Tang San thought, What does Xiao Wu mean by this attitude?

Could it be that she still doesn't believe Teacher and wants to believe this Liang Hao instead?

No, absolutely not!

Tang San hurriedly said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, don't be fooled by how arrogant Liang Hao is. In reality, there's no way he can succeed!"

"Even people at our level can only absorb three- or four-hundred-year Soul Rings. How could he possibly triple that right away?"

"What Grandmaster said can't possibly be false. Don't let Liang Hao influence you!"

But Xiao Wu still pouted and glanced at Tang San.

By now, Xiao Wu was a little annoyed. She muttered, "What if he really can do it?"

She also focused on the light screen, waiting for the result.

Spirit Hall.

The Pope's bedchamber.

Bibi Dong was feeling emotional herself. Her feelings were complicated at the moment.

If Liang Hao succeeded, Yu Xiaogang would lose face.

But if Liang Hao failed, he was her disciple in a sense, so his failure would not do either.

Bibi Dong could only sigh and say, "We'll see. Whether he succeeds or fails, either outcome is suitable."

"But why do I feel such anticipation?"

Heaven Dou City.

The crown prince's bedchamber.

Qian Renxue stood with her hands behind her back, staring gravely at the light screen as she murmured:

"A thousand-year First Soul Ring right from the start."

"If this man really succeeds, his talent will be beyond doubt. He might even be no worse than me."

"I have to win over a genius like him, no matter what."

"I hope the me in the instance can take a little more initiative too... Don't let Bibi Dong snatch this man away first."

Similar remarks and thoughts arose among the various factions throughout Douluo.

Everyone was even more eager to see whether Liang Hao would succeed.

As long as Liang Hao succeeded, everything he had said earlier should be true and could be proven.

Even some characters from the Douluo II and Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King eras were paying attention.

Even in later generations, geniuses like this were rare. After all, Douluo I lacked the resources of Douluo II, let alone technologies such as the Spirit Ascension Platform from Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.

On the light screen.

Liang Hao, however, was unaffected by any of it. He focused solely on absorbing the Soul Ring's energy, letting it transform his body bit by bit.

In truth, he was not too worried, because the Whale Rubber he had taken was a terrifying thirty thousand years old.

By then, the strength of his body had been increased who knew how many times over.

A mere Thousand-Year Soul Ring was troublesome for him, but that was all it was. It was only a little painful.

As long as he could endure it, success was inevitable!

So Liang Hao did his best to regulate his breathing, proceeding steadily and advancing step by step.

The absorption lasted a full two hours or so, neither long nor short.

When enough time had passed, Bibi Dong was still a little worried, but Liang Hao had already slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Phew!"

Bibi Dong immediately asked in surprise, "Xiao Hao, you've finished absorbing it already?"

Liang Hao was physically weak, but he had succeeded in the end. He replied, "Teacher, fortunately, I didn't fail you!"

"I told you, the Whale Rubber Body Refining Method really exists."

"With my body as it is now, never mind a thousand-year Soul Ring, I could even have a shot at absorbing one two or three thousand years old!"

"Th-this..."

Only when Bibi Dong actually saw Liang Hao succeed did she realize what a genius her disciple was.

Many things were like that. Hearing about them was one thing; seeing them with your own eyes was another.

Liang Hao also summoned the purple Soul Ring around him.

A qilin's roar rang out behind him, and a phantom image of a qilin appeared over his body.

Immediately afterward, the intensely purple Soul Ring emerged. With this display, what he had done was perfect in every respect.

Bibi Dong said emotionally, "I urge the heavens to rouse themselves anew and send down talents of every kind!"

"Xiao Hao, do you know that this Soul Ring of yours has truly made history?"

"A thousand-year First Soul Ring! Tell anyone about it and they'd take it for a tale from the Arabian Nights. Even the most knowledgeable Soul Master wouldn't dare believe it!"

"If only Xiaogang could see this, he would be so hap-"

But she suddenly stopped there. Bibi Dong had been about to say that Yu Xiaogang would be happy because he had found a good specimen.

But when she recalled what Liang Hao had said earlier about Yu Xiaogang's true nature, Bibi Dong realized something.

Yu Xiaogang's own talent was abysmal. If he saw talent like Liang Hao's, would he be happy or jealous?

On closer thought, it would probably be the latter...
