Sun Wukong's Humblebrag Leaves the People of Douluo World Dumbfounded

At those words, Sun Wukong sprang up from the steps.

"Eh?"

Sun Wukong looked closely and saw that it was his junior sister, Qian Renxue. Scratching his ears and cheeks, he circled her three times, suspicion and surprise flickering in his eyes.

"Well, that's strange, little girl."

Sun Wukong squatted down and tilted his head as he sized Qian Renxue up, then gave a peculiar chuckle.

"Little junior sister, just a few days ago, you barely paid Old Sun any attention. You wouldn't even call me senior brother. Why are you calling Old Sun that today?"

"Could it be you think Old Sun is qualified to be your senior brother now?"

"Then again, Old Sun did guess Master's secret message correctly before. You have poor comprehension, little girl, but you had enough sense to sneak along with Old Sun."

Qian Renxue's cheeks reddened slightly. She recalled that when they first became disciples, she really had paid the monkey little attention. Then she spoke with a hint of apology.

"Please don't joke, senior brother. I was ignorant before and didn't realize how extraordinary your origins were. I came today because there's something troubling me that I can't understand, so I wanted to ask for your guidance!"

Sun Wukong was a man of strong feelings who knew whom to repay and whom to hold a grudge against, not to mention that he and Qian Renxue were fellow disciples.

Hearing that Qian Renxue had a question for him, he was immediately filled with a sense of responsibility. He smiled and said,

"Easy, easy! Since Old Sun is your senior brother, just tell me whatever's troubling you. I'll decide what to do for you!"

Qian Renxue sighed, her little face falling slightly as she said pitifully,

"Senior brother, Master also bestowed the Nine-Nine Profound Art upon me, but I'm dull-witted. I've studied it for a long time and still haven't managed to begin cultivating it."

"The first level requires one to shed mortality and become an Immortal. I'm nothing more than a Mortal, so how could I possibly master it?"

"Senior brother, did you find the Nine-Nine Profound Art as difficult to understand as I did?"

Sun Wukong froze for a moment. Then, as though he had heard something rather funny, he proudly straightened up, golden light from the profound art flowing around his body.

"Look, junior sister. Your senior brother has already mastered the first level. As for how long it took..."

"I began cultivating it after just a few hours of practice."

At that moment, Qian Renxue stared silently at Sun Wukong, unable to make sense of it.

Why had Sun Wukong been able to begin cultivating it in a single night?

If that were true, wouldn't Sun Wukong become a god in an hour if he went to her world?!

"Then, senior brother, didn't you find it obscure and difficult to understand when you first read it?"

Sun Wukong didn't notice anything wrong with Qian Renxue's tone and simply assumed she was asking about his cultivation experience.

"What's so hard about it?"

"When Old Sun first laid eyes on it, I just thought the cultivation technique was incredibly profound, and the incantation began circulating through my body on its own."

"What?"

Qian Renxue cried out and pulled the ancient scroll from her long sleeve. After examining it carefully, she gradually went blank.

Fine!

You win!

Master, you were right. Even ten of me can't compare to one Sun Wukong.

Seeing Qian Renxue's blank expression, Sun Wukong thought his junior sister didn't believe him. His monkey temper flared, and he scratched his ears and cheeks as he said,

"Junior sister, you don't believe Old Sun?"

"Look at the Nine-Nine Profound Art Master taught us. Once you master the first level, your body becomes spiritually attuned, and you can use transformation techniques as you please!"

Before he had finished speaking, Sun Wukong turned slightly.

Buzz!

A hum rang out as brilliant golden light burst from Sun Wukong's body, and the Dao resonance of profound transformations flowed outward.

In an instant, Sun Wukong had turned into a huge tiger with fierce eyes and a white forehead.

"Roar!"

Sun Wukong roared toward the nearby mountain forest. His tiger's roar echoed again and again, and the presence he gave off made him look every bit the king of beasts.

Qian Renxue was startled by the fierce tiger Sun Wukong had turned into. Before she could react, the tiger's form shifted again, and amid a flicker of golden light, Sun Wukong became an extraordinarily divine azure luan.

He spread his wings slightly and circled and danced through the air above Qian Renxue, his clear cry echoing around them.

Qian Renxue watched in a daze.

Was this the art of transformation one gained from mastering the profound art?!

Immediately afterward, the azure luan let out a long cry, and golden light once again shimmered over his body.

Afraid that Qian Renxue still wouldn't believe him, Sun Wukong transformed into a succession of different animals for her to observe.

Whoosh!

The golden light suddenly receded. Sun Wukong returned to his monkey form and landed steadily in front of Qian Renxue, smiling proudly.

"Well, junior sister?"

"Old Sun never lies. At the first level of the Nine-Nine Profound Art, you can transform as you wish, and your body becomes spiritually attuned. Was Old Sun skillful enough?!"

"Could it be the art of transformation that's troubling you, junior sister? You can show Old Sun, and I can give you a pointer or two."

As those words came out of Sun Wukong's mouth, Qian Renxue remained rooted to the spot in a daze.

She had thought that, since her master Bai Yi had cleansed her marrow and foundations, allowing her to shed her mortal form and become a member of the Innate Human Race, even if she couldn't compare to Sun Wukong, a Stone Monkey born of heaven and earth, she wouldn't be too far behind him!

But wasn't the gap just too great?

If mastering the Nine-Nine Profound Art brought such profound abilities, Qian Renxue took a deep breath, put aside the pride she had developed as the young lady of Spirit Hall, and humbly asked for guidance.

"Your divine abilities are boundless, senior brother, but that isn't what's troubling me."

"What troubles me is how to master the first level of the profound art. Surely you can't say you don't know the trick to the Nine-Nine Profound Art, senior brother?"

"What trick?"

Sun Wukong was completely baffled, unable to understand the trick Qian Renxue was talking about.

"Old Sun picked the thing up, took a couple of looks, and learned it just by reciting the incantation."

"Why would I need some trick?!"

When he finished, Qian Renxue turned to stone on the spot, hardly able to believe what her ears had heard.

What did he mean, he took a couple of looks?

What did he mean, he learned it by reciting the incantation?

Didn't you have to comprehend it?

Douluo World.

The scene displayed on the sky screen left countless Soul Masters dumbstruck.

Almost everyone was so shocked by Sun Wukong's casual words that their vision went dark.

This was the Stone Monkey born of heaven and earth?

No wonder that god had said Sun Wukong's talent far surpassed Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall.

The two simply weren't on the same level.

Before, they had mocked Qian Renxue's poor comprehension in the livestream. Sun Wukong understood it at a glance and could cultivate it by reciting the incantation. Didn't that mean that all the living beings in Douluo World put together couldn't compare to a single hair on Sun Wukong's body?

Inside the Worship Hall.

Looking at the genuinely puzzled expression on Sun Wukong's face, Qian Daoliu closed his eyes and sighed.

"We can't compare!"

"Could there really be a living being in this world who is born with knowledge and naturally suited to cultivation?!"

If Sun Wukong crossed over to their world, he would probably be a Deity from birth.

Fortunately, the god Xue'er had taken as her master had said before that if she couldn't cultivate the Nine-Nine Profound Art, he would give her a simpler cultivation technique another day.

Seen that way, Xue'er's future was still boundless.

It was just that looking toward Sun Wukong's future was like a Mortal gazing at the bright moon from afar.

Beside him, Golden Crocodile Douluo saw how dejected Qian Daoliu was and comforted him in a deep voice.

"Why sigh like that, big brother? It's the young lady's good fortune to have crossed over to that world."

"It's only natural that we can't compare to the natives of that world, but the fortune bestowed by the sky screen is real enough."

"Think of your Martial Soul, big brother. It transformed long ago after the sky screen's baptism. Even my Golden Crocodile King has grown the horns of a true dragon!"

"Even without the young lady coming back, our Spirit Hall can unify the continent."

"Once our Spirit Hall unifies the continent, the young lady will be able to see the flourishing age of a continent united under Spirit Hall when she returns to this world!"

At Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, the other Enshrined Douluo in the Worship Hall all turned their gazes toward Qian Daoliu, who sat silently above them.

When the sky screen had bestowed its fortune before, it was as though one person had attained the Dao and even their chickens and dogs had ascended to heaven along with them.

Secretly favored by the sky screen, even Hu Liena's Martial Soul had evolved into a Nine-Tailed Fox. Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined, had likewise undergone Martial Soul Evolution in the sky screen's baptism.

His Six-Winged Angel had evolved into a Twelve-Winged Seraph.

Qian Daoliu wasn't entirely sure what that evolution meant. The Six-Winged Angel was already a god-level Martial Soul, so what level of Martial Soul was the Twelve-Winged Seraph?

At the very least, it was a Martial Soul above god level.

That was because, after Golden Crocodile Douluo's Martial Soul had evolved through the sky screen's transformation, his Soul Power Level had reached that of a Level 99 Limit Douluo.

He had eagerly challenged Qian Daoliu to a one-on-one fight, only to be crushed by him in a single move.

It could be said that Qian Daoliu's current strength was already above that of countless Limit Douluo.

Such strength filled Qian Daoliu with confidence. So what if he was still a Level 99 Limit Douluo?!

Even if a god descended into the world, that god might not be a match for him.

At that thought, Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the assembled Enshrined.

"Good!"

"Go tell Bibi Dong to make preparations for Spirit Hall to unify the continent."

"If you encounter any obstacles, I, Angel Douluo, will act personally and sweep every last one away!"
