Yue Guan Advances to Super Douluo, Singular Velvet Vajra Body, Dugu Bo's Shock! (Bonus Chapter)

Clearly, because of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Hu Bai's Three-Eyed Demon Fox Vertical Pupil External Soul Bone had also improved to a certain extent. His Sea of Consciousness had been fully opened, and he would be able to wield his Spiritual Power more freely in the future!

Moreover, perhaps because his Soul Power was still relatively low, Tang San's Soul Power had not increased when he absorbed this immortal herb in the original work. Yet Hu Bai had actually gained a level, reaching Level 24!

"This is... an External Soul Bone!" Dugu Bo cried out.

Before Dugu Bo could even finish being shocked, an extremely powerful Soul Power Fluctuation erupted from Ju Hua Guan's side!

Sweat beaded across Ju Hua Guan's face as his brows drew tightly together. Looking inward at his body, he saw a pale yellow bead taking shape within his dantian!

Ju Hua Guan thought to himself that this should be the Soul Core Hu Bai had mentioned. The appearance of a Soul Core also meant that he was finally about to break through to the Level 96 Super Douluo realm!

Once he entered Level 96, he, Ju Hua Guan, would be considered one of the strongest figures at the pinnacle of the continent. In the future, when others mentioned Yue Guan, they would no longer first think of his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Old Gui, but of him as an individual!

At present, aside from the Seven Great Worships, the only person with strength above that of a Super Douluo was Sword Dust Heart of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As for the Clear Sky Sect, it had sealed its gates for many years. After the Old Sect Master's death, no matter how formidable Tang Xiao was, he probably had not yet reached Level 96!

Everyone's gaze rested on Yue Guan. Dugu Bo did not know whether it was an illusion, but through Yue Guan's dantian, he could see a round yellow bead flickering in and out of sight.

However, it vanished after only an instant.

Now, Dugu Bo was finally completely certain that the Inner Core within his body was, in essence, the embryonic form of a Soul Core. He did not know whether he was exceptionally gifted or simply unlucky.

Without Hu Bai and Yue Guan's help, even with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye suppressing it, he likely would not have had ten years left to live—perhaps even less.

Under such circumstances, it would have been impossible for him to raise his strength to Level 96!

The Soul Power Fluctuation caused by Yue Guan's breakthrough lasted for around a minute before his aura began to recede.

"Congratulations, Uncle Yue. You've finally entered Level 96 as you wished. Once we return to Spirit Hall, Grandpa Qian and the others should be able to convene a meeting and make you the Eighth Worship."

"I have you to thank for that, Hu Bai. I've had nothing but good luck since following you." Yue Guan spoke sincerely, then continued, "And this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum also helped me finally forge an Indestructible Diamond body. Although I'm currently following the path of a power attacker, I've gained another ability as well. Take a look."

The two yellow Soul Rings around Yue Guan slowly rose and then fused together. An incomparably powerful Singular Velvet Qi erupted forth. "Although I can no longer change my cultivation path, because of that, my first two defensive Soul Rings can fuse together and maximize my defense. I estimate it now possesses defensive power comparable to that of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring."

Hu Bai knew that this was likely an Innate Soul Skill Yue Guan had awakened with the help of the immortal herb, though it needed to be unleashed through the fusion of two defensive Soul Rings.

This was entirely different from the power Yue Guan had displayed when they first entered, when he had stacked two defensive Soul Skills. If before it had been 400 years + 600 years = 1,000 years, then after fusion, it was 400 × 600 = 240,000 years!

It did seem rather outrageous!

Hu Bai's calculation was indeed simple and crude, but it was also very straightforward.

Of course, it was impossible for Yue Guan's two Hundred-Year Soul Rings to directly become equivalent to 240,000 years after fusion. At most, they would reach the level of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring where 1 + 1 > 2!

Even so, that was far stronger than ordinary Ring Fusion!

Hu Bai looked at Yue Guan and suggested, "Uncle Yue, may I offer a suggestion for your future cultivation?"

Yue Guan asked curiously, "What is it? Go ahead."

He now trusted Hu Bai greatly.

"You could try using the fusion of your first and second Soul Rings to gain insight, then see whether you can fuse your other Soul Rings together in the future. As far as I know, your strongest Ninth Soul Skill is only an area-of-effect attack, right? Compared to other power-attack Titled Douluo, that is a disadvantage."

Dugu Bo frowned. "You want Ju Hua Guan to learn Ring Fusion later in life? That won't be easy. On the entire continent, the only person this Old Man knows who can use Ring Fusion is Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Soul Masters with that talent are rare indeed."

Hu Bai nodded. "That's right, Ring Fusion. Uncle Yue did not have this talent before, but now he already has a foundation. He can give it a try. If he succeeds, then Uncle Yue's strength will finally rank among the best of Titled Douluo at the same level!"

For now, Ju Hua Guan was still at the bottom among Level 96 Super Douluo. There was no way he could be a match for Qian Jun Falling Devil or Sword Dust Heart. Even against Tang Hao at Level 95 with his full strength unleashed, he probably could not win.

Qian Jun Falling Devil: We can't beat Tang Hao in that state either.

Yue Guan nodded solemnly. "Indeed. If I had to face the Sixth and Seventh Worships, I'd be quite nervous too."

Only then, for the second time, did Dugu Bo react. He stared at Yue Guan in astonishment. "Wait, Ju Hua Guan. Are you saying that besides Qian Daoliu, the Great Worship, Spirit Hall has six others stronger than you?"

Yue Guan nodded. "Yes, Old Poison. Since you're one of us now, I'll tell you. Spirit Hall's strength runs unfathomably deep. Aside from Your Eminence the Pope, there are seven others stronger than me!"

"Hahaha—" Dugu Bo laughed and shook his head. "Spirit Hall has hidden itself deeply indeed. Outsiders think that Spirit Hall only has you and Gui Mei among its Titled Douluo, with Bibi Dong at most added to the count. People at our level know that Spirit Hall also has a Qian Daoliu, but I never expected there to be other experts. Why have we never heard anything about them?"

Yue Guan smiled and shook his head. "Because Spirit Hall is relatively low-key. Generally speaking, once one enters the Worship Hall, one cannot easily show oneself in the outside world. So much time has passed that no one remembers them anymore. The only one who probably knows is that vanished Tang Chen."

"It seems this Old Man made the correct choice. Ning Fengzhi keeps talking about how the Upper Three Sects share the same breath and branches, that they should resist Spirit Hall together. I only hope he won't be too stubborn later, or his sect will sooner or later be destroyed."

Yue Guan could not help but sneer. "Ning Fengzhi's stance is simply laughable. It's only because Spirit Hall disdains doing underhanded things, and because Spirit Hall has thoughts of subduing the sect with the continent's number one support Weapon Martial Soul, that Ning Fengzhi has been able to keep jumping around for so long. Otherwise, how could he have lasted?"

"On this continent, strength is the foundation. Before absolute strength, any schemes and tricks are utterly useless! Ning Fengzhi is the kind of person who is weak yet loves to play around. He has no ability to protect himself at all. Does he really think Gu Rong and Chen Xin can keep him safe?"

Don't you think I'm right, Little Fellow?

Yue Guan looked at Hu Bai. He had learned the phrase "weak yet loves to play around" from Hu Bai, and it could not have been more fitting for Ning Fengzhi!
