Return to Spirit City, How Were There Two Purple Spirit Rings?!

Dugu Bo's words surprised Dugu Xin somewhat, though not overly so.

After all, he could guess what his father was thinking. He just had not expected his father to be so decisive.

"Since Father has said such things, it means you have already made your choice."

"However, these are only our own thoughts. We still do not know what young friend Lin Du thinks."

"What if he does not fancy Yan Er? Wouldn't we be making a needless fuss?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to let Yan Er spend more time with young friend Lin Du."

"Since our whole family is moving to Spirit City, Yan Er and young friend Lin Du will have plenty of contact in the future."

"If the two of them develop feelings for each other, they can naturally end up together without us having to play matchmaker."

Dugu Xin did not oppose Dugu Bo's idea of bringing his daughter and Lin Du together.

However, he did not want to go against his daughter's wishes either. He only wanted her to live happily.

Years of being bedridden had taught him one thing: Soul Power and wealth were not important. Living happily and healthily was what truly mattered.

"How could I not know that? Or do you think I, her grandfather, would push Yan Er into a fire pit?"

"It is simply that Du Kid cannot be judged by ordinary standards. Leave this matter to me."

No one knew a son better than his father, and Dugu Bo naturally understood what his son was thinking.

But was he not also considering what was best for his granddaughter?

Ever since seeing everything Lin Du possessed, he had been certain that Lin Du would one day soar to greatness and become the continent's strongest expert.

If they did not build a closer relationship with Lin Du now, were they supposed to wait until he truly stood at the pinnacle of the continent before trying?

That was clearly impossible. Thus, Dugu Bo had already begun considering how to bring Dugu Yan and Lin Du together.

"Achoo!"

Lin Du rubbed his slightly sore nose after sneezing.

"What's wrong, Lin Du? Did you catch a cold? Are you all right?"

Qian Renxue, holding the Sacred Heavenly Horse foal in her arms, spoke with a worried expression.

Her voice was filled with concern for him.

"It's nothing. My nose was just a little itchy."

Lin Du's voice came from within the Dragon God, signaling Qian Renxue not to worry.

Dugu Yan wanted to join their conversation, but since it was their first time meeting,

she felt a little embarrassed and could only silently listen.

Qian Renxue noticed the expression on her face and took the initiative to speak with her.

They were peers, after all, and before long, the three of them were chatting together.

This greatly relieved the tedium of the journey.

After a long period of travel,

the group finally landed within Douluo Hall.

The moment they touched down, Golden Crocodile Spirit and several other Enshrined gathered around them.

Judging by their appearance, they seemed to have been waiting for quite some time.

"Big Brother, Xue'er."

"Huh, where's Du'er?"

Mighty Lion Douluo greeted Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, but when he looked for Lin Du, he could not find him.

"Fourth Enshrined, don't you find this thing rather conspicuous?"

Sitting on the shoulder of the Phoenix Dragon God, Qian Renxue patted its orange-gold shoulder armor, which carried a warm touch.

Her expression held a hint of inquiry.

"Don't tell me Du'er is inside this thing? What exactly is it? A flying vehicle?!"

The Enshrined present had not failed to notice the strange and extraordinary Phoenix Dragon God. They simply had not connected it to Lin Du.

After all, in their memories, Lin Du's Martial Soul was a sword. It was worlds apart from the towering, imposing figure before them.

"This is no flying vehicle, Fourth Enshrined. This is my Martial Soul, and my current state can be considered Martial Soul Possession."

As Lin Du's voice fell, the Phoenix Dragon God transformed into golden particles and dispersed before everyone's eyes.

Lin Du's familiar figure finally appeared before the Enshrined, along with the two purple Spirit Rings rhythmically undulating around him.

"Du'er, this is truly..."

"Purple... they're both purple?!"

"Du'er, your Spirit Rings!"

Although they knew that Lin Du had sought Thousand Year Spirit Rings during this trip, the Enshrined had still been doubtful about it.

It was not that they did not believe Lin Du. Rather, as Super Douluo, they knew exactly how difficult it was to absorb a Thousand Year Spirit Ring as one's First Soul Ring.

Yet Lin Du had not only shattered their doubts with facts, but had even exceeded expectations?

With the eyesight of Super Douluo, how could they fail to recognize the age of Lin Du's Deep Purple Second Spirit Ring?!

It was around five thousand years old. One had to know that this was the age of their Fourth Soul Rings!

"I did not disgrace your expectations. I was fortunate enough to successfully absorb a twelve-hundred-year Bright Green Lion."

Lin Du smiled bashfully, his face carrying a hint of modesty.

"What about the second Spirit Ring? Don't tell me it's around five thousand years old?"

Though they were already certain in their hearts, the Enshrined still wanted to hear Lin Du admit it himself.

"Yes, a Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix of around five thousand years. Du'er killed it with ease. Even I did not expect that he would truly be able to absorb it."

However, before Lin Du could speak, Qian Daoliu explained on his behalf. Judging from his expression, he even seemed to carry a trace of pride, like an elder praising his outstanding junior.

At those words, the Enshrined revealed the shock Qian Daoliu had faintly anticipated.

Immediately afterward, all manner of praise poured from the Enshrined.

They showered Lin Du with compliments as though they cost nothing.

Seeing the Enshrined praise Lin Du so lavishly, Qian Renxue no longer felt jealous as she had before.

Now, aside from being happy for Lin Du, she also felt a strange little thrill of secret delight.

"Enshrined, do not forget that Xue'er went out this time to obtain her Fourth Soul Ring as well."

"Aren't you curious about the age of Xue'er's Fourth Soul Ring?"

"If any Enshrined guesses correctly, I have something good to give him later."

Lin Du glanced at Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan, who were standing nearby, and immediately decided to let Qian Renxue share the burden of the Enshrined's overly enthusiastic praise and compliments.

"Judging by Xue'er's expression, she must have obtained a Fourth Soul Ring she is satisfied with."

"The maximum age of an ordinary Spirit Master's Fourth Soul Ring is five thousand years, but Xue'er previously ate Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, which improved her physique."

"I imagine absorbing a six-thousand- or seven-thousand-year Spirit Ring would be no problem for her. Let me make a bold guess."

"Could Xue'er have absorbed a seven-thousand-year Spirit Ring this time?"

Upon hearing Lin Du's words, the Enshrined were indeed curious about the age of Qian Renxue's Spirit Ring.

Golden Crocodile Spirit even relied on his experience to state his guess regarding its age.

"Very close, Second Worship, but still a little low."

Lin Du winked at Qian Renxue and shook his head with a light laugh.
