"So, after I absorb two spirit rings, my soul power level will naturally rise and reach at least the twenty-fifth rank. That means going to an Advanced Soul Master Academy will be more than enough, right?"
"That's right." Snow Empress nodded. "As far as we know, most students in Advanced Soul Master Academies are also in their twenties. You won't be falling behind by going there, and in fact, you'll still be somewhat ahead."
"So, you don't need to feel pressured." Ice Empress added at this moment. "When they find out your age, they won't dare look down on you either. If anyone dares to bully you because of your age..."
"Humph humph..."
Ice Empress brandished her fist, and her meaning was self-evident.
"Oh oh, alright..." Although somewhat sweating at Ice Empress's fierce demeanor, Lang Lei still felt very warm inside.
It was just that for some reason, based on Lang Lei's past experiences of roaming the universe, many non-human species tended to have appearances fitting their own personalities when taking human form, but Ice Empress...
Clearly she was a twin-tailed loli who wasn't much taller than his current self, yet her personality was so fierce.
"Bing'er, don't teach Lang Lei bad things." Snow Empress spoke up at this moment.
"Oh, alright..." Ice Empress instantly wilted.
Lang Lei couldn't help but chuckle secretly. Ice Empress's gaze immediately fell upon him, and seeing this, Lang Lei hastily held it in.
"But Lang Lei, you don't need to be too kind either." Snow Empress began to instruct him. "Rest assured, in the current Douluo Continent, there is no one we cannot afford to provoke. If you get bullied, just be as tough as you like."
Snow Empress said this very domineeringly, but it was indeed true.
At the time of Lang Lei's birth, the help that green flower gave them was by no means small. Over the past six years, perhaps because the medicinal efficacy hadn't fully worn off yet, Snow Empress's age had directly reached eight hundred and thirty thousand years. Ice Empress wasn't bad either, once again crossing a major stage to reach six hundred thousand years, and she even successfully made up for her regret of not knowing the Ice Explosion Technique.
Originally, Snow Empress and Ice Empress already possessed something similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Now, with the help of that connection, the two of them had also successfully gained quite a few more fusion skills.
Snow Empress herself was already confident of fighting the so-called Beast God Di Tian without defeat. Now, with Ice Empress added, there would be no problem at all even if they wanted to defeat him.
Moreover, Snow Empress had a guess: once Lang Lei grew up, there was a high probability that a so-called Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill would appear among the three of them.
After all, right now, Lang Lei possessed a special skill on him that they were both very clear about, and this skill was also the source of confidence that allowed Snow Empress and Ice Empress to drop Lang Lei off at an Advanced Soul Master Academy all by himself.
As for those factions backed by God Trials...
Lang Lei only wanted to say, who didn't have a deity behind them?
Behind him, there existed someone that others wouldn't even dare to imagine...
In other words, he had the capital to drag the entire Douluo Continent down with him in mutual destruction...
"I know, Sister Xue, Sister Bing." Lang Lei nodded.
Right at that moment, Lang Lei suddenly froze, and his eyes became hollow.
Snow Empress and Ice Empress, whose gazes were originally on Lang Lei, were startled.
The current Lang Lei was their precious darling, and they absolutely could not tolerate the slightest mishap.
"Lang Lei, Lang Lei, what's wrong?"
While Ice Empress tried to call back Lang Lei's consciousness, Snow Empress used her soul power to check Lang Lei's body.
Before long, Lang Lei came back to his senses.
"Sorry, Sister Xue, Sister Bing, I'm fine." Seeing the anxious two, Lang Lei felt a slight pang of apology in his heart.
"As long as you're fine. What just happened?" Seeing that Lang Lei was alright, Snow Empress had some guesses in her heart.
"Sister Xue, just now it seemed like a voice was talking in my head..." Lang Lei summarized his words a bit and said it in a rather childlike manner.
Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged glances, an unspeakable excitement in their eyes. To be able to converse with Lang Lei right in front of the two of them and without them noticing anything at all—such power was definitely a deity, without a doubt!
"Lang Lei. Can we know what that voice said to you?"
"Of course no problem." Lang Lei nodded. As it happened, he also wanted to figure out what on earth that voice that suddenly appeared in his mind was through the help of Ice Empress and Snow Empress. "It seemed to be saying that I need to pass certain trials in order to inherit a God Position and become the God of Destruction..."
Deities...
This word was not far away from what he once knew.
Whether it was the Star God or the Cocoon of the End, he had faced them directly. He had interacted more than once with those existences that were no different from deities in the eyes of mortals.
And what exactly were the deities on this continent like?
He was quite curious...
After hearing Lang Lei's words, the joy on Snow Empress and Ice Empress's faces could no longer be concealed.
Their guess all along had been correct!
They were genuinely happy for Lang Lei, and at the same time, they felt fortunate for their own choice.
At the present stage, however, the two of them could also be considered guardians—guardians directly designated by the God of Destruction himself. Unlike ordinary guardians, they were not restricted by deities, and furthermore, that God of Destruction had never handed them things like Divine Decrees.
In other words, they could also help with Lang Lei's God Trials!
With the help of Snow Empress and Ice Empress, these God Trials would undoubtedly become much simpler.
"Lang Lei, can you tell us the details of your God Trial?"
"Destruction Trial..."
"Soul power reaching the thirtieth rank, and possessing at least two thousand-year spirit rings?"
Snow Empress and Ice Empress felt as if they had been splashed with a basin of cold water. Ice Empress, who had just wanted to flex her muscles, also quieted down.
This God Trial...
It seemed that apart from helping him hunt some thousand-year spirit beasts that they could easily dispose of at will, they couldn't be of any help at all.
However, having a thousand-year second spirit ring—they had never seen such a soul master before. Would something happen to Lang Lei?
Yet since it was a trial lowered by a deity, naturally there wouldn't be trials that were utterly impossible to complete. In other words, the God of Destruction felt that Lang Lei's body was sufficient to directly absorb a thousand-year spirit ring when acquiring his second one?
Lang Lei's expression was rather calm, without the slightest ripple.
Even though he had descended into this world for some inexplicable reason and his body had become extremely weak, that was only relative to his past life. Compared to children of the same age, he could still be called outstanding.
For so many years, he hadn't just been playing around. Growing stronger could be said to be deeply engraved in his bones, and physical training had not stopped for a single day. Elysia in his mind could vouch for him on this point. Besides, compared to other children in this world, his body also seemed quite special, innately rather powerful. That was probably due to being the "Child of Deity" in the words of Sister Xue and Sister Bing, right?
