Soul King (Please Bookmark and Vote)

Half a day later.

Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes. A biting surge of Soul Power instantly spread in all directions, sweeping outward as visible frost. Many flowers and plants were frozen solid by the energy.

Feeling the vast Soul Power within him, Shen Hanyu could not help spreading his arms and letting out a long roar toward the sky. His body felt light, and his senses had suddenly risen to another level.

Level fifty-two!

That was Shen Hanyu's current Soul Power Level. The immense energy provided by a fifty-thousand-year super Soul Beast had only raised him by two levels. If that energy had been absorbed by an ordinary Soul Douluo, it would have been enough to raise them two or three levels.

Though Shen Hanyu was delighted, he was also somewhat speechless. At this rate, he would be lucky to break through three levels a year in the future. That was far too slow compared to the pace he had in mind.

Dugu Bo snorted behind him, though he could not hide the surprise in his eyes. After a long while, he said irritably, "Brat, you owe me another huge favor."

Shen Hanyu smiled. "Rest assured, Senior Dugu. Though this junior is not exactly a wholly good person, I still know how to repay kindness."

Only then did Dugu Bo's expression soften slightly. Then, with considerable astonishment, he said, "A fifty-three-thousand-year top-tier Soul Beast only raised you two levels? Brat, even this old man is ashamed by your physical constitution and the depth of your Soul Power. I truly do not know what kind of family could raise a genius like you."

Shen Hanyu paused at that, then smiled. "Senior Dugu, it is not only your top noble clans that can nurture geniuses. My family is very small. My father is merely a Soul Emperor, and my mother is only a Soul Elder. Perhaps it is fate. Things are often this dramatic. But in less than twenty years, my family will rise in one leap to become one of the top clans on the Douluo Continent. Because I am here. I will become an insurmountable mountain hanging over the entire continent!"

Dugu Bo glanced at Shen Hanyu. He was deeply shocked inside, but outwardly he still wore an arrogant expression that said, Say whatever you like. I do not believe a word of it anyway.

"Hmph! Brat, I only hope you do not die in some corner one day with no one even there to collect your corpse. Let us see what you do then."

Shen Hanyu burst into laughter and said unconcernedly, "That day will never come. I will keep climbing upward. Only those who stand against me will die. When the time comes, Senior Dugu, acknowledge me as your Big Brother, and I guarantee you will enjoy a safe old age!"

The veins on Dugu Bo's forehead bulged as he listened. Then he finally let out a heavy sigh and casually waved his hand. A green cloth pouch slowly floated over before Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu narrowed his eyes. Having watched the anime, he naturally knew what this pouch was, but he remained outwardly composed as he asked, "Senior Dugu, this is...?"

Dugu Bo shot Shen Hanyu an annoyed glare before explaining, "This is the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, a storage Soul Tool. Your Soul Tool is not bad, but it still cannot compare to mine. Its greatest advantage is that it can store living creatures. This old man has no use for it anyway, so I might as well give it to you, you little bastard. What, are you not going to take it?"

Looking at Dugu Bo's aged face, Shen Hanyu suddenly felt warmth rise in his heart for no reason. He caught the simply decorated Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and said seriously, "Thank you, Senior Dugu. When the time comes, I will give you a great gift in return."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and said disdainfully, "This old man is a dignified Titled Douluo. Why would I care about a gift from a mere Soul King like you? Keep it for yourself, brat."

Shen Hanyu suppressed a laugh. Fine, fine. Dugu Bo is so rich, is he? Then forget it. I will wait until this Old Bastard remembers it someday.

Seeing that Shen Hanyu had fallen silent, Dugu Bo hesitated briefly before slowly approaching and speaking softly. "Brat, this old man received word that a major auction house in Heaven Dou City will be auctioning a forty-thousand-year Right Arm Bone. It is said to have come from a King Kong Wolf King. I just noticed that you seem to possess a Left Arm Soul Bone. Well? Are you interested in this forty-thousand-year Soul Bone?"

Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised. "A King Kong Wolf King? Aren't Soul Beasts like that nearly extinct? There is actually still a forty-thousand-year Wolf King left in this world? That really is rare."

The King Kong Wolf King was the king of the King Kong Wolf Clan, a rare bloodline Soul Beast passed down through a single lineage. It possessed the rare metal attribute and was extremely powerful. Even ordinary King Kong Wolves were renowned predators.

Dugu Bo nodded. "This old man only received insider information a few days ago. It is said that this King Kong Wolf King was not born a Wolf King, but devoured some extraordinary bloodline and eventually evolved into one with the bloodline of a Wolf King. Its Soul Ring became the Eighth Soul Ring of an unknown Soul Douluo, while its Soul Bone was put up for auction by its descendants after its death for certain reasons."

Shen Hanyu considered it carefully, then shook his head. "Forget it. Though the King Kong Wolf King is not bad, my Right Arm Bone must be powerful enough. I cannot choose one casually. If it were a Soul Bone from another body part, I could consider it..."

Shen Hanyu's eyes darted around before he added, "Senior Dugu, aren't you being a little too good to me...?"

"Why does it feel like you are holding something back? Well, though we have not known each other long, we can still be considered friends who know each other fairly well. If there is something, just say it."

Dugu Bo gave Shen Hanyu a fierce knock on the head, then said with a dark expression, "Brat, do not fail to appreciate kindness. This old man is not so easygoing with everyone. The people I have killed are no fewer than the meals you have eaten..."

Shen Hanyu rubbed the spot on his head that was nearly smoking. For a moment, he did not know what to say and could only reply, "Senior Dugu, if there is something, it would be best to say it directly. If you make me guess, I truly do not have the mind for it."

Dugu Bo froze, then stared fixedly at Shen Hanyu until Shen Hanyu's skin crawled. After a long while, he finally said, "This old man hopes you will get close to Yanyan."

"Wait, Senior Dugu, did you not say your Granddaughter already has someone she likes? Are you planning to break up a loving couple... Besides, I am not into anything that perverse..."

Dugu Bo gave Shen Hanyu another hard knock on the head, then snorted coldly. "Getting close does not only mean that kind of relationship. I know Yanyan's boyfriend. He is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and his talent is decent. It is just that both of them are too arrogant and have plenty of flaws. This old man does not know whether they will have a future together. But let me warn you, do not get any ideas about my Granddaughter."

Holding his head, Shen Hanyu smiled. "Senior Dugu, forgive this junior for speaking bluntly, but Miss Dugu Yan is not my type. Though I do enjoy beautiful women, I do have principles. Besides, I cannot do something like stealing another man's woman. You can rest assured about that. To be honest, I have a 'child bride' back home, and I quite like that girl..."

If Shui Bing'er found out about this, she would definitely call him a perverted hooligan...

Just thinking about it is strange... exciting...

Ahem. A cute, soft little blue-haired girl... slurp... slurp...

Shui Bing'er's aunt probably had no idea that her five-year-old niece had already been claimed by a certain good man and handsome guy...
