His Soul Power had advanced too quickly, so Xu Xiao planned to consolidate his foundation at the Spirit King level.

After leaving the tower with Elder Zu, Meng Hongchen came running over with Ye Guyi in tow.

"Xu Xiao, have you decided what kind of Soul Ring you want?"

"No, this lingering Soul Power aura belongs to a Spirit King! A high-level Spirit King at that!"

Meng Hongchen wondered if her eyes were deceiving her.

"My Sacred Angel Martial Soul also sensed your danger. You're like a volcano filled with magma, on the verge of erupting."

Without answering immediately, Xu Xiao had Elder Zu leave first, while he took the two women elsewhere. As for the news of the Tower of Myriad Laws, he had just had Elder Zu record it with a special Soul Tool and send it to his subordinates.

In the future, they could enter it whenever they needed to cultivate in seclusion or do anything else. For now, he planned to take the two women into the tower and test the effects of his Fifth Soul Skill.

"Don't resist. I'm taking you somewhere. You'll understand once you get inside."

Tower of Myriad Laws, Soul Skill Testing Grounds.

Three figures appeared out of thin air.

Ye Guyi stared at the high-tech testing equipment around her, her small mouth forming an O.

"This place is... Huh? There's so much new information in my head."

Before Ye Guyi could finish asking, she received a massive amount of information about the Tower of Myriad Laws and how to use it.

Half an hour later.

The two women had finished receiving the information and were now curiously awaiting his Fifth Soul Ring.

"Alright, weren't you curious about my Fifth Soul Skill?"

As soon as he spoke, Xu Xiao's sun Martial Soul slowly rose into the air.

It appeared behind Xu Xiao's head, followed by five Soul Rings far beyond the optimal configuration orbiting the sun. From afar, he looked like a god walking among mortals!

Purple, black, black, red, red!

Especially when the final two blood-red Soul Rings rose, the two women were still shocked despite having expected it. Meng Hongchen was one thing—she already possessed a Soul Ring from the Ice Empress.

But Ye Guyi felt somewhat dejected. Her physical strength meant she could also attempt a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as her fifth, but there were too few light-attribute soul beasts on the Douluo Continent!

Let alone light-attribute soul beasts that had reached the Hundred-Thousand-Year level.

Thinking of this, Ye Guyi's eyes held both envy and a trace of worry. But then she remembered that she could hunt soul beasts through the Tower of Myriad Laws in the future, and her mood brightened again.

"Enough, Xu Xiao. Stop showing off in front of Sister Ye and me. Hurry up and show us what your Fifth Soul Skill is like!"

Meng Hongchen spoke impatiently.

Xu Xiao rolled his eyes at Meng Hongchen. He was also embarrassed to show off so much before Guyi, so he sent her a voice transmission.

"Guyi, after I finish testing my Fifth Soul Skill, I'll help you obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring too. Don't listen to Meng's nonsense. You're the most important person to me..."

Seeing that Xu Xiao had yet to release his Soul Skill and was instead exchanging flirtatious glances with Ye Guyi, Meng grew angry.

Fine, fine. Is there something you can't say in front of me? And Sister Guyi's face has turned completely red from this bad man staring at her!

"Ahem, ahem ahem." Meng Hongchen's voice finally brought the two back to their senses. Ye Guyi turned away; she was genuinely embarrassed.

Xu Xiao shamelessly pretended that nothing had happened.

Fifth Soul Skill! Molten Fire Sea!

In an instant, a quarter of Xu Xiao's Soul Power was gone. This Soul Skill consumed an enormous amount of energy, but its effects were equally remarkable.

The surrounding Soul Skill testing instruments were already submerged beneath the sea of fire. Seeing it about to engulf them, Xu Xiao hurriedly used his self-created Wings of Fire, scooping up the two women under his arms and flying into the air.

Ye Guyi had no time to rebuke Xu Xiao's wandering hands. Her pupils contracted as she stared at the Molten Fire Sea below, formed entirely of magma!

Such a Soul Skill! Such a vast range! How was this possible?!

Meng Hongchen was also constantly overturning everything she thought she knew. She had never expected Xu Xiao's Fifth Soul Ring to rival, or even surpass, the Ninth Spirit Skills of most Title Douluo!

Afraid the two women might misunderstand, Xu Xiao explained, "Although my Fifth Soul Skill has an especially wide range, its power still isn't enough to harm a Title Douluo."

"Even if a Soul Douluo falls into it, they would only suffer minor injuries. But if it's a Soul Sage, then aside from Defense System Soul Sages who can withstand it by activating their Martial Soul Avatar, any other Soul Sage would definitely be seriously injured if they were careless."

After watching Elder Zu battle the Fire Dragon King, Xu Xiao had gained a clear understanding of his own strength.

Although he possessed Titled Level physical strength and Spiritual Power, he could not truly fight evenly against them or easily escape before a Title Douluo.

One had to know that the Title Douluo in this world were several times stronger than those in the original work!

A mere level 91 Title Douluo could beat seven peak Soul Douluo with perfect configurations until they could not raise their heads. That would have been absolutely impossible in the original work. He felt that ever since he had transmigrated into this world, strength was no longer at the bottom rung of fantasy?

After receiving feedback from the Tower of Myriad Laws on the power of his Soul Skills, he discovered that his combat strength was perhaps only comparable to that of a Soul Douluo, and an early-stage one at that.

System, update my latest data through the Tower of Myriad Laws!

Host: Xu Xiao (12 years old) Identity: Imperial Member of the Taiyue Empire Cultivation Technique: Yang God Technique (9 Little Flames condensed) Martial Souls: Sun (Extreme Fire!), Double Pupil Intent: Sun Fist Intent (minor mastery) Soul Power: Level 57 (Spirit King) Combat Strength: Level 82 Soul Douluo Soul Ring Configuration: Purple, black, black, red, red! Summoned Characters: Xiang Yu, Xiao He, Zu Chongzhi Available Summon Count: 2!

I still can't underestimate the heroes of the world. Xu Xiao sighed in relief that he had not truly courted death by challenging a Title Douluo.

"Ah, I thought you could defeat a Title Douluo." Meng Hongchen was somewhat dejected. Xu Xiao had two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, yet he still could not defeat a Title Douluo.

Every Soul Douluo in this world was a powerhouse who had comprehended an intent. If one could not comprehend an intent, they would remain stuck at the Soul Sage stage for life!

The Tower of Myriad Laws had also told him this information. Furthermore, Douluo Star was much larger than the one in the original work, about several times the size of Earth.

Wait, if that was the case, then what about the God Realm? Xu Xiao checked the system and only then learned that because Goddess Tang frequently observed Douluo Star's providence, he would investigate every slightest irregularity thoroughly.

Xu Xiao could only say that she treated this place like her own backyard. How could she not inspect it carefully? That suffocating desire for control, seriously.

Six years later, Goddess Tang ultimately discovered that something was wrong with the Taiyue Empire's providence.

She wanted to use her Super Divine Weapon to investigate everything thoroughly, and even the Destruction God King was too late to stop her.

The system was finally enraged by that Scum, because Xu Xiao had been in deep meditation at the time!

It could only assume that Xu Xiao agreed to spend half of all his future Summon Counts in advance, transferring Douluo Star to a place suitable for development.

Having escaped the shackles of the God Realm, Douluo Star's power naturally left the ranks of the bottom rung of fantasy.

The only pity was Xu Xiao himself. From now until after his ascension to the throne, he could only gain one designated summon per year!

Given Goddess Tang's obsession with Douluo Star, Xu Xiao had a feeling that one day, she was destined to come looking for him with the gods of the God Realm.

And by then, he would definitely be God-tier! He had to become a god!
