The Offerings' Astonishment

Seeing the intensity of the aura released by the Golden Crocodile, Qian Daoliu's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Bibi Dong.

However, Bibi Dong remained indifferent, without a trace of emotion, and even had a hint of mockery in her eyes.

She had absolute confidence in Lu Yuan. How could such a small amount of pressure possibly suppress Lu Yuan? She knew very well how extraordinary this kid was.

As expected, Lu Yuan showed no reaction to the pressure of the level 21 Soul Power, as if he was not under any pressure at all.

Golden Crocodile Douluo raised an eyebrow, then increased the intensity of his oppressive aura once again.

The momentum surged, and the oppressive force instantly jumped from level 20 to level 24.

Level 24—this is the same as Lu Yuan's original Soul Power. Generally speaking, being able to resist pressure equivalent to one's own Soul Power is enough to be called a genius.

Even within the Spirit Hall, perhaps only the Golden Generation could achieve this level, yet Lu Yuan remained completely unaffected by the pressure of level 24 Soul Power.

Lu Yuan's aura remained steady, and his body did not tremble at all. He did not even release his Martial Soul, let alone reach his limit.

"Interesting!" Golden Crocodile Douluo became interested; he wanted to know where this kid's limits lay.

Its momentum surged again, instantly reaching level twenty-eight.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. By level twenty-eight, he could already feel the all-pervasive pressure, like a shackle binding him.

Although it was somewhat uncomfortable, Lu Yuan could still manage to hold on.

The Qingqi Sutra circulated rapidly within the body, and this extraordinary and peerless skill displayed its power. Although the Qingqi Sutra may not be the kind of skill with explosive attack power, its strength lies in its continuous, dense, and inexhaustible nature, which is almost unique to Daoist skills.

The Qingqi Sutra's staying power is among the best in many Daoist cultivation methods. Its resilience and recovery ability are astonishing, so the great pressure that Lu Yuan was under was completely resolved by the Qingqi Sutra.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan's physique is extremely powerful. In addition to the powerful body of the Golden Dragon Spirit, he also has the amplification of two External Soul Bone Sky-Supporting Palm Bone and the Golden Dragon Armor. His physical qualities are comparable to those of a Soul Ancestor.

Seeing that Lu Yuan still looked relaxed, Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately raised his pressure to the Soul Elder level.

This greatly increased the pressure.

Lu Yuan felt as if a river was pressing down on him from all sides. This pressure was like being in deep water, and the oppressive force was truly all-pervasive.

It not only oppresses Lu Yuan 'Lu Yuan body, but also targets his mind, because whether one can persevere when the body is under tremendous pressure depends on willpower.

Despite feeling uncomfortable under the pressure of a level 30 Soul Elder, Lu Yuan remained steadfast and upright, without a single drop of sweat appearing except for a slight furrow in his brow.

Because in addition to his exceptional physical strength, Lu Yuan's mental power also far surpasses that of Tongji University.

"Huh!" The elders in the Elders Hall were all surprised. A level 30 Soul Power was already six levels higher than Lu Yuan's own strength, but Lu Yuan remained calm and composed, without even releasing his Martial Soul. This was truly a genius.

"The future is promising!" one of the worshippers said softly.

Upon hearing this, the other worshippers around him nodded unconsciously.

Hearing the whispers of the worshippers, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. Her disciple was far from reaching his limit; he still possessed a powerful External Soul Bone like the Golden Dragon Armor.

Looking at the offerings around her, she knew that her disciple would bring her great honor today.

Seeing that Lu Yuan, despite having level 30 Soul Power, still hadn't released his Martial Soul, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt a slight sense of admiration for him. He then increased his pressure again, determined to teach this disciple no matter how long the boy could hold out today.

When his Soul Power reached level thirty-four, Lu Yuan's body trembled. The immense pressure almost made him breathless, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it nearly suffocating.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon Spirit, which had been unable to contain itself for a long time, instantly possessed Lu Yuan. A huge and loud dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Elders Hall. Golden diamond-shaped dragon scales crawled on both sides of Lu Yuan's cheeks, and golden scales also crawled on his arms. Two Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, emitted a dazzling light, and the overwhelming aura of the Golden Dragon surged out.

The Dragon Might's Dragon Might permeated the entire area. The Golden Dragon was proud, and anyone who dared to exert pressure in front of it would immediately trigger the innate power of their Martial Soul.

Coincidentally, the oppressive aura of the Golden Crocodile Douluo made the Golden Dragon feel that its dignity had been violated, so it unleashed its own pressure without restraint.

"What a powerful Martial Soul! It truly lives up to its legendary Martial Soul!" Qian Daoliu's eyes gleamed. The power contained within this Martial Soul had already surpassed Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel, making it arguably the strongest Martial Soul he had seen in recent years. It seemed to be inferior to both Bo Saixi's Sea God Martial Soul and Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer. Apart from not having Innate Full Soul Power, it was almost no different from a god-level Martial Soul.

Besides the astonishing power of the Golden Dragon, Lu Yuan's Soul Ring configuration was even more surprising.

"Second Soul Ring a thousand years old?" One of the elders unconsciously raised his voice.

The worshippers looked at each other, somewhat surprised. Everyone knew that the best Soul Ring combination should be yellow-yellow-purple-purple-black-black-black-black-black, because Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring were hard to find. Even with the best luck, one could only change to a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

However, no one has ever heard of Second Soul Ring that is a thousand years old. This is almost a record-breaking achievement, something even their proud and talented daughter of heaven Qian Renxue, seems to have failed to do.

Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered. He naturally knew more than others. His nine Soul Rings were eight black and one red, but that was a reward from the God's Trial. Without the trial reward, even he couldn't achieve Second Soul Ring that lasted a thousand years.

"Interesting!" Qian Daoliu became interested in Lu Yuan, this eight-year-old boy.

"I heard that this kid has a good relationship with Xiao Xue. Perhaps we can recruit him for our own use." Qian Daoliu pondered. His relationship with Bibi Dong was not exactly good. If he could poach Bibi Dong's disciple to assist Xiao Xue, it seemed like a good choice.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes revealed admiration. Lu Yuan had truly surprised him the most; this talent really moved him.

A top-tier Martial Soul, an even better Soul Ring combination—it would be a fortunate thing to be able to teach such a genius. Moreover, this kid also has a gold-type Martial Soul, so it would be most suitable for him to inherit his mantle.

Golden Crocodile Douluo thought to himself.
