Godking's Wrath and the Lottery!

"Still, I need to properly consolidate it. Jumping seven levels at once will have a major impact on my foundation." Long Yun did not let himself get carried away. He knew that haste made waste. If he did not stabilize his foundation now, it would do him no good in the future.

"I'll cultivate after consolidating my foundation. For now, let's see what I gained this time!"

He carefully examined himself. "I... I seem to have grown quite a bit taller." Long Yun said in surprise. Even his clothes no longer fit properly, which meant he had definitely grown.

With that discovery, Long Yun's face instantly broke into a broad smile. "Old Poison, take a look. How tall am I now?" he asked with a grin.

"Hmm, I'd estimate around 1.73 meters," Du Busi said after looking him over.

"1.73 meters! I was around 1.65 meters before, and now I'm 1.73 meters. That's more than eight centimeters! This feels amazing! I absorbed two Soul Rings in a row and grew nearly twenty centimeters. And it's only been a dozen or so days... This..." Long Yun said excitedly. Growing taller on the Douluo Continent was far too convenient! Absorbing Soul Rings could make him grow. Didn't that mean he could grow over two meters tall?

He grew several centimeters with every Soul Ring he absorbed. He still had sixteen Soul Rings left to absorb, and he was only twelve years old, with plenty of room left to develop. Growing over two meters tall was not impossible!

"Wouldn't over two meters be too tall? It might be better to stay a little shorter." Long Yun suddenly grew worried. Being too tall was not good either! His ideal height was somewhere in the high 1.8-meter range. Two meters was a bit too much. He was not here to play basketball, so what would he need to be that tall for? Now, he was suddenly worried that he would grow too tall.

Du Busi smiled at Long Yun's expression. "Young Master, you needn't worry. Absorbing Soul Rings can indeed promote your growth, but that effect will diminish to its lowest point once you reach Ten Thousand-Year Soul Rings. By then, absorbing a Ten Thousand-Year Soul Ring will barely affect your height. Ten Thousand-Year Soul Rings focus more on tempering your body. They will make you sturdier and stronger, rather than making you taller."

"Oh?" Long Yun's eyes lit up upon hearing Du Busi's words. That was great. He would not need to worry about growing too tall in the future. He might be able to obtain a Ten Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his third or fourth Soul Ring. The third was possible, while the fourth was certain.

"That's pretty good. At my current height, it shouldn't be difficult for me to reach the high 1.8-meter range. I don't need Soul Rings to help me grow taller." Long Yun nodded, suddenly feeling much more at ease.

"By the way, Young Master, what Soul Skill did you gain this time? Is it Berserk?" Du Busi asked. Based on the Purple Winged Mad Lion's characteristics, he guessed that Long Yun had most likely gained its Innate Skill, Berserk.

At the mention of his Soul Skill, a satisfied smile appeared on Long Yun's face. "Its effect is very similar to Berserk, but I named it Godking's Wrath!"

"Godking's Wrath?!" Du Busi asked curiously.

"That's right. When the Godking is angered, heaven and earth tremble! Let me demonstrate it while explaining the specific effects!" As he spoke, Long Yun took several steps back.

"Martial Soul Possession!" Long Yun shouted in a low voice. An astonishing wave of Soul Power erupted from his body. Black Soul Power swirled around him as the Godking phantom slowly appeared behind him. At that moment, the surrounding air grew much heavier and unbearably oppressive. When the Godking phantom fully emerged behind Long Yun, an imposing aura swept outward like a tidal wave.

Long Yun's body gradually expanded. His torso and limbs swelled, and in the blink of an eye, his height reached around 1.85 meters. His arms and legs enlarged by nearly thirty percent, the muscles along his arms sharply defined and brimming with power, as though they possessed enough strength to shatter mountains. His eyes became haughty and cold, like a monarch looking down upon the world.

Long Yun felt the changes brought by Martial Soul Possession, and joy rose in his heart. His entire body was filled with strength, yet felt light and weightless. This feeling was truly incredible!

Two Soul Rings began to rise from beneath his feet. One shone with a bright yellow light, illuminating the dark night in golden hues. Outside that yellow Soul Ring was an even brighter purple Soul Ring. Like the only light in the night sky, the purple Soul Ring suppressed every other source of light, even outshining the moonlight.

The instant the two Soul Rings appeared, the air around them seemed to freeze. Powerful pressure spread outward as the two Soul Rings finally revolved around Long Yun's body.

"Second Soul Skill: Godking's Wrath!" Long Yun shouted. The purple Soul Ring around him instantly lit up, becoming the only splendor within the forest. As it shone, Long Yun's eyes immediately turned blood-red. His aura surged wildly, and every attribute increased drastically. His muscles tightened further, faint blood-red lines appearing along his arms. The aura around Long Yun turned violent, filling others with dread and unease. It was like a mortal facing the wrath of the Godking—small and helpless.

Du Busi was startled by Long Yun's transformation. His eye for such things was exceptionally sharp, so he could naturally see Long Yun's changes clearly. After activating his Second Soul Skill, his strength and defense had both increased enormously. As for speed, Long Yun had not moved enough for comparison, so he could not tell, but it was likely that his speed had increased as well. This was probably an all-attribute enhancement!

"The increase is nearly double!" Du Busi muttered, his voice filled with shock.

"Old Poison, my Soul Skill isn't bad, right?" Long Yun asked.

"Haha, Young Master's Soul Skill is naturally extremely powerful. Judging solely by its effects, among Soul Skills below the seventh, I'm afraid none can compare to yours in terms of enhancement," Du Busi said with a laugh.

Long Yun neither confirmed nor denied it. Even he found the enhancement effect terrifying. He did not believe anyone's enhancement Soul Skill could surpass his own.

Looking at Du Busi, Long Yun curled his lips into a smile. Then he stomped the ground fiercely, instantly leaving a deep footprint in the earth. Long Yun shot forward like a cannonball, charging rapidly toward Du Busi.

As he approached Du Busi, Long Yun clenched his hand into a fist and threw a punch at him. "Boom!" Du Busi's palm collided with Long Yun's fist, producing a loud impact as the forceful wind from the collision spread outward.

Seeing Du Busi casually catch his punch, Long Yun smiled faintly. He felt neither surprise nor frustration. All he could say was that a Level 98 Super Douluo was terrifying indeed!

"Old Poison, how was that punch?" Long Yun withdrew his Martial Soul and lowered his fist before asking Du Busi.

After pondering for a while, Du Busi said, "In terms of pure strength, Young Master's punch is no weaker than that of a low-level Power Attack System Soul Ancestor. And judging by your speed just now, I'm afraid you're no slower than a Level 43 or 44 agility-type Soul Ancestor. Combined with the strength of your body, you absolutely have the ability to fight a Level 45 or 46 Soul Ancestor."

"Is that so? That's not bad. With my Second Soul Skill activated, my strength and speed are both close to those of a Level 45 Soul Ancestor. My defense is probably even stronger. I feel that defense is my strongest aspect, likely comparable to a Level 48 defense-type Soul Ancestor. In that case, I truly have the ability to fight a Level 45 or 46 Soul Ancestor." Long Yun nodded. He agreed with Du Busi's assessment.

"The effect of my Second Soul Skill is that it increases strength, speed, and defense by one hundred percent. When I use my External Soul Bone, my speed gains an additional twenty percent increase. At the same time, this Soul Skill will improve as my level rises. When I reach Level 30, the effect will become one hundred and twenty percent. At Level 40, it will be one hundred and forty percent, and so on," Long Yun said slowly.

Du Busi's eyes widened as he listened. He had not expected Long Yun's Second Soul Skill to be so outrageous. It could already double his attributes, and it would continue to improve as his level increased. Wasn't that absurd? Didn't that mean that by the time he became a Soul Sage, he would be able to triple his attributes? Without even counting Soul Skills, that was equivalent to directly tripling his combat power! That was far too exaggerated!

"Young Master, this Soul Skill is truly formidable!" Du Busi exclaimed.

"Hehe, I've always had good luck." Long Yun smiled. "Old Poison, help clean up the Purple Winged Mad Lion's corpse. I'll rest here for a while, and then we'll leave this forest."

"Alright!" Du Busi nodded and went to deal with the Purple Winged Mad Lion's corpse. Long Yun casually found a spot, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began communicating with his system. It was finally time for another lottery draw. Just thinking about it made him a little excited!

Long Yun was truly eager to see just how good his luck was.
