Certain Victory! Dragon Ascending Sword! Deep Purple Five Thousand Year Soul Ring!

The Dragon Ascending Sword appeared in Lin Du's hand once more,

his gaze resolute,

as he raised the Dragon Ascending Sword high above his head.

Sharing the Dragon God's vision, he locked onto the Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix, which had been immobilized in midair by the Lion Light Dragon Fist.

His firm, powerful voice echoed throughout the entire pocket dimension.

"Certain Victory!"

"Dragon Ascending Sword!"

Blinding golden light burst forth from the massive sword in the Dragon God's hand,

as though it were holding up a sun radiating countless beams of golden light.

Even Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo, the Two Title Douluo, slightly turned their heads aside to avoid the dazzling golden glow.

The next second,

the Dragon God shot into the sky.

The giant sword in its hand, blazing with golden light, came down from above,

and smoothly cleaved the Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix in half like a hot knife through butter!

Shattered organs and scarlet blood rained down without end,

like a shower of flesh and blood!

Within the golden radiance, the Dragon God turned into particles and vanished from where it stood,

gradually revealing Lin Du's figure.

Although the battle had ended,

Lin Du's heart still surged with excitement.

His blood was still boiling, and a flush of exhilaration lingered on his face.

The thrilling scenes of piloting the Dragon God in battle replayed endlessly in his mind!

"Lin Du, you were amazing!"

Qian Renxue cheered,

then lunged forward and crashed into his arms.

Because he had absorbed a Spirit Ring,

Lin Du had grown quite a bit taller as well.

He had originally been a full head shorter than Qian Renxue, but now he was only half a head shorter.

Thus, when Qian Renxue collided with him,

her warm lips brushed against Lin Du's forehead like a dragonfly touching the water,

just as they had that morning.

The two of them nearly recalled what had happened that morning at the same time.

However, Lin Du possessed an adult soul after all,

so he was the first to regain his composure.

Moreover, that tender atmosphere had dispersed the excitement in Lin Du's heart.

He calmly looked toward Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu,

a faint smile spreading across his lips.

"Grandpa,"

"Poison Douluo,"

"I did not disappoint."

"You brat,"

"you have truly opened my eyes, Dugu Bo!"

"In merely a few days of knowing you,"

"you have shocked me more times than I can count."

"Tell me honestly,"

"just how many more surprises are you hiding that I do not know about?"

"So I can prepare myself in advance?"

"Otherwise, these old bones of mine will sooner or later be scared sick by you."

Having been shocked by Lin Du far too many times,

Dugu Bo felt that an old man like him truly could not endure such intense emotional swings.

He might as well have Lin Du tell him everything at once.

"Do not worry, Poison Douluo,"

"there are more or less no surprises left."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Du's face,

but to Dugu Bo,

it somehow felt like Lin Du's words carried a deeper meaning.

"A Spirit Ring appeared, Grandpa,"

"it's Deep Purple."

At that moment,

Qian Renxue, who had gone to inspect the Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix's corpse, suddenly spoke up,

drawing everyone's attention.

"This Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix was around Five Thousand Years old,"

"so it is only normal for its Spirit Ring to be Deep Purple."

"What a pity it was split in two by Du Kid's sword and could not be any deader."

"Otherwise,"

"we could have had your granddaughter, Angel Douluo, deliver the finishing blow,"

"and she could have obtained its Spirit Ring."

"The age would have been just right, too."

Dugu Bo examined the Deep Black Soul Ring before him,

a trace of regret appearing on his face.

"The age of this Spirit Ring is suitable enough,"

"but its attributes do not suit Xue'er."

"It is not the optimal Spirit Ring."

Qian Daoliu had long since selected Spirit Rings for Qian Renxue,

so he did not care about this one.

"I see,"

"then forget it."

"It is just a pity for this Spirit Ring,"

"to be wasted for nothing."

"Forget it,"

"out of sight, out of mind."

"Angel Douluo,"

"shall we continue onward?"

"Let us try to find a suitable Spirit Ring for your granddaughter sooner."

Dugu Bo softly lamented the waste,

but there was nothing he could do.

After all, only the person who killed a Spirit Beast could absorb the Spirit Ring it dropped upon death.

And Lin Du had only just obtained his First Soul Ring,

so Dugu Bo subconsciously overlooked him,

intending to leave directly.

"Grandpa,"

"Poison Douluo,"

"do not be in such a hurry."

"I want to try absorbing this Spirit Ring."

At that moment,

Lin Du, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke,

drawing Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo's attention.

"This Spirit Ring is too old,"

"and is not suitable for Du'er to absorb."

"If Du'er needs a Spirit Ring from this type of Spirit Beast,"

"we can find one around Two Thousand Years old for him to absorb."

"Du Kid,"

"you are not..."

Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu spoke at the same time,

but after hearing Qian Daoliu's words,

Dugu Bo felt his mind turn completely blank.

For a moment, he stood frozen in place.

More than ten seconds passed,

before he finally moved again.

"Wait,"

"Angel Douluo,"

"didn't Du Kid absorb a Spirit Ring not long ago?"

"Why are you letting him absorb a Second Spirit Ring already?"

"Has his Soul Power already reached Level 20?"

"Even if Du Kid has Innate Full Soul Power,"

"and his First Soul Ring is even a Thousand Year one,"

"it is impossible for his Soul Power to rise by ten levels all at once, right?"

Having finally sorted out his thoughts, Dugu Bo turned to Qian Daoliu,

his face filled with confusion.

Qian Daoliu said nothing,

merely turning to look at Lin Du.

"Poison Douluo will surely join the Worship Hall later,"

"and become the Eighth Enshrined of the Worship Hall."

"Then he will naturally be one of us,"

"so there is no harm in telling him."

Lin Du understood what Qian Daoliu meant,

and smiled freely.

He had no intention of concealing it.

After all, he now possessed some ability to protect himself.

With Qian Daoliu and the Worship Hall backing him,

even if that madwoman Bibi Dong learned of it and wanted to make a move against him,

she would first have to weigh whether she could defeat the Worship Hall.

Thus, he was not afraid of his Innate Soul Power Level 20 being exposed.

Besides, Qian Daoliu had already revealed a little earlier.

Lin Du did not believe it had been accidental.

"What do you mean, one of us and no harm,"

"Angel Douluo, Du Kid,"

"what riddle are you two speaking in?"

The more Dugu Bo listened, the more confused he became.

The puzzlement on his face did not lessen,

but instead grew even deeper.

"The reason Lin Du can obtain a Second Spirit Ring right after obtaining his First Soul Ring,"

"is naturally because his Soul Power Level is not Innate Full Soul Power,"

"but Innate Level 20!"

Seeing that Dugu Bo still had not caught on,

Qian Renxue, who had grown somewhat anxious from listening at the side, immediately explained it to him.

"Innate Soul Power Level 20?!"

"Du Kid,"

"this is what you meant by no more surprises?!"

"I, Dugu Bo, have lived for more than eighty years,"

"and I have seen quite a few geniuses over the years."

"But only today did I finally understand,"

"that there are thresholds even between geniuses!"
