After Martial Soul Awakening came the matter of Spirit Rings.
Innate Level 20 Spirit Power, coupled with a top-tier Martial Soul—Di Hong believed it was a God-tier Martial Soul. This was something they had neither anticipated nor could have anticipated.
After all, throughout the royal family's history, there had never even been anyone with Innate Full Soul Power, much less Innate Level 20 Spirit Power. Only one Titled Douluo had ever appeared in the entire royal lineage, and that had been the First King.
There had been none since.
Faced with Di Hong's situation, Di Yuan had no solution either. He had originally devised a cultivation plan for Di Hong, but now it seemed that plan was useless.
The previous plan had been intended for ordinary spirit masters. He had never expected his youngest son to undergo a Martial Soul Mutation—no, it could not even be called a Martial Soul Mutation. It was practically like he had been given an entirely different Martial Soul.
How was he supposed to devise a cultivation plan now?
So Di Yuan went to find his second younger brother, Di Qing, the Kingdom's other Soul Douluo.
After returning to his bedroom...
Di Hong flung himself onto the bed and rolled around. Earlier, he had forcibly suppressed his excitement, but now there was no need to hold back at all.
He no longer had to worry about his future.
Innate Level 20 Spirit Power—never mind Becoming a God, if he failed to cultivate to Level 99, he would be letting down those who came before him. Becoming a God was not impossible either.
After rolling around for a while, he sat back up.
Now, he had to plan for the future.
No matter what, danger still existed. It would be troublesome if Spirit Hall discovered him.
Spirit Hall awakening Martial Souls for commoners was a good thing, but that did not mean they would tolerate powerful spirit masters who could threaten Spirit Hall. Qian Daoliu was no idle fool, so he had to become strong himself.
Only by becoming strong could he avoid every danger.
He was not Qian Renxue. She had clearly possessed such outstanding talent, yet chose to become an Undercover Agent, completely wasting it. If she had cultivated properly and inherited a godhood, she would have Become a God before the Spirit Master Tournament even began.
Spirit Hall would have unified the continent long ago.
No matter how powerful a spirit master was, could they surpass a god? Even if Tang San's Hidden Weapons could injure gods, he had only been a Soul Ancestor at the time. What use could he have been? Even five years later, Tang San would only have been a Spirit King.
With Qian Renxue as a negative example, he had to cultivate diligently and absolutely could not waste his talent.
In any case, he did not need to play at being an Undercover Agent.
He had several decades ahead of him. It could be said that his time was exceptionally abundant. Besides cultivation, he also had to consider some other matters.
"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"I must go there."
"The Immortal Grade Herbs are mine for the taking."
That place was quite important to the protagonist group. Tang San had taken many Immortal Grade Herbs from there, helping the other members of the protagonist group increase their strength.
It had been especially helpful to Ning Rongrong.
Without Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the protagonist group's combat power in the later stages might have been somewhat weaker. And without the Immortal Grade Herbs, they likely would not have won the Spirit Master Tournament championship either. After all, without them, Shrek would have had at most two Soul Ancestors.
Although Xiao Wu had cultivated to become a Soul Ancestor, that had only happened after the Spirit Master Tournament.
Even counting Xiao Wu, there would have been only three Soul Ancestors at most.
After all, their ages were what they were.
But now, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was his for the taking.
The current Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was still unclaimed land. Dugu Bo was nowhere to be found yet, and even if he was around, his strength would not be particularly great at this point. Since it was unclaimed land, whoever found it first owned it.
That meant there was no question of whether he was stealing it or not.
Even if the Immortal Grade Herbs there would not be very useful to him, they would surely benefit his family. His father, Di Yuan, had limited potential and would find it difficult to break through to Titled Douluo in this lifetime. But with the aid of Immortal Grade Herbs, perhaps there was still a slight chance.
After all, his age was right there—he was nearly seventy.
"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Immortal Grade Herbs."
Di Hong thought it over. It seemed there was nothing else. Whether he went to the City of Slaughter or not made little difference to him. He could go, or he could choose not to. He did not particularly need Divine Slaughter's Domain either. As for godhood inheritances...
It seemed there were no godhoods on the continent that could be passed down to him.
The only godhoods he knew of were those of the Angel God, the Sea God, the Asura God, and the Rakshasa God. None of the others suited him, and besides, godhoods were not something he could obtain just because he wanted them.
Of these, the Sea God and Asura God were the most suitable, especially the Asura God. That was a God King-level god.
But after awakening his Martial Soul, an idea had suddenly emerged in his mind: could he try to Create Own Godhood and use his talent to challenge Level 100?
Perhaps he really could try.
If it did not work, then he could consider inheriting a godhood. It was not that he was being pretentious or looking down on those godhoods.
Of course, there was no point talking about any of this now. He was only six years old, so there was no use thinking that far ahead. What if he died midway through?
"Spirit Rings."
He suddenly remembered that his spirit power was Level 20, which meant he had to obtain two Spirit Rings. During Martial Soul Awakening, his body had been strengthened somewhat. While he could not directly absorb a thousand-year Spirit Ring, absorbing a four-hundred-year and an eight-hundred-year Spirit Ring would not be a problem at all.
There was even less need to worry about Spirit Bones.
His first Spirit Bone had already been settled.
Within the royal treasury was a 60,000-Year Inherited Spirit Bone, left behind by the First King—the only Titled Douluo in the family's history. Di Yuan had never absorbed it, because he knew that doing so would be a complete waste for him.
So it had remained stored away.
But after Di Hong's Martial Soul Awakening, he immediately made the decision to let his son absorb it.
A 60,000-year spirit bone was a treasure that even Titled Douluo would fight over. An ordinary Titled Douluo would be fortunate to possess even one spirit bone, while the better-off ones might have two.
Even someone as formidable as Tang Hao did not have many spirit bones.
After Di Hong's Martial Soul Awakening ended, Di Yang, acting on Father King's orders, spread the news. For a time, the entire Silvis City boiled with excitement.
The nobles who had wanted to replace the royal family were dumbfounded. They had originally thought that the royal family was declining with each generation, and that once Di Yuan died, they could take its place. But they had never expected an Innate Full Soul Power genius to emerge, leaving them in an awkward position.
What was the point of making plans now?
No matter how capable they were, they could not compare to the fact that the royal family would have a Titled Douluo in the future.
As for secretly eliminating him, that was even more impossible. As long as Di Hong died, they were certain that Di Yuan would bathe the entire Silvis City—even the whole kingdom—in blood. When that time came, every noble who opposed him would die.
In contrast, the nobles loyal to the royal family were overjoyed.
Over the next three days, Di Yuan held lavish banquets, as if afraid that others would not know the royal family had produced a genius. Nearly every noble of baron rank or above in the kingdom attended.
Even the neighboring Balak Kingdom and Hagendas Kingdom sent representatives, and the Empire sent someone as well.
The visitor was none other than the Empire's Crown Prince, Xue Ye.
