"I heard that Young Friend Su defeated Yu Tianheng. Truly a genius youth."

Ning Fengzhi looked at the youth before him, who showed no trace of fear, and felt a measure of admiration.

As the sect master of the second-greatest sect in the world, ordinary Soul Fighters would even show fawning and timid expressions when facing him.

Yet this child, the same age as Rong Rong, could face him so calmly.

His disposition is truly excellent.

"Sect Master Ning overpraises me. It was just good luck!"

Su Ze replied calmly to Ning Fengzhi's compliment.

Su Ze's view of Ning Fengzhi was that of a gambler.

According to the original plot, this sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a pure gambler.

And the kind who goes all-in, bets everything, and doesn't hold back.

In the original work, the Clear Sky Sect was the ultimate winner, gaining both fame and fortune, completely establishing its reputation as the continent's number one sect.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was annihilated beforehand, leaving only a few stragglers, a truly miserable defeat.

And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, from the early and middle stages to the late stages, contributed both money and effort.

They even sent over the two Super Douluo from their sect.

But in the end, they correspondingly received two gods.

And the empty title of a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

One could only say that after Ning Fengzhi bet all his chips, all he received was an empty title.

The two deities could not descend, and the sect's actual high-end combat power was severed.

Therefore, in Su Ze's opinion, Ning Fengzhi, this gambler, lost everything but gained very little.

Not a good gambler.

"Young Friend Su's talent is so powerful, and he also possesses such a disposition. Truly excellent."

"Rong Rong, come and meet your Brother Su Ze."

Ning Fengzhi's admiration deepened, and he beckoned towards his back as he spoke.

Immediately, a little girl with pink hair walked out from behind him.

She was the future Nine-Colored Goddess.

Ning Rongrong!

"Are you the Su Ze my dad mentioned? Why are you the same age as me, but your Soul Power is so high?"

"How did you cultivate?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Su Ze in front of her with curiosity.

"It's nothing, just train hard. When I was at Nuoding Academy, I basically cultivated for more than 10 hours a day."

Su Ze was telling the truth. When he was at Nuoding Academy, he meditated every day.

Unless he needed to deal with Tang San's Soul Duels, he would basically meditate for 10 hours.

That's why his Body Strength was extremely formidable.

As soon as Ning Rongrong heard Su Ze's words, her cute little face immediately showed surprise.

She looked at Su Ze as if he were a peculiar object.

Ten hours of cultivation a day, without needing rest?

Sword Douluo, who had been following Ning Fengzhi, now focused his gaze on Su Ze.

Immediately after sensing Su Ze's cultivation, Sword Douluo's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Young friend Su, is it? At such a young age, your cultivation has actually reached such a level. You will surely have a place in the Soul World in the future."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find me. As long as it's not something that harms heaven and reason, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can help you."

As a Titled Douluo, Su Ze's Soul Power was not a secret in his eyes.

Such a super Genius.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must befriend him.

What Sword Douluo appreciated even more was Su Ze's seriousness towards cultivation.

He could feel Su Ze's Body Strength. With such Body Strength and such Soul Power.

It was enough to prove that Su Ze's claim of meditating at least 10 hours a day was true.

He was clearly extraordinarily gifted, yet he was still so diligent.

If nothing unexpected happens, within 20 years, a Titled Douluo will appear on the Douluo Continent.

"Brother Su Ze, quickly thank Sword Douluo."

Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi both looked at Sword Douluo with some surprise.

Especially Qian Renxue, she completely didn't expect that this usually arrogant Titled Douluo.

Would think so highly of Su Zhe.

And even unexpectedly gave a promise.

Su Ze was a little surprised by Sword Douluo's words, but he still bowed and said, "Thank you, Sword Douluo! This junior has noted it!"

With Sword Douluo's endorsement, Ning Fengzhi presented the token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

According to Ning Fengzhi, this token could be used to freely take 1 million Gold Soul Coins from the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce annually.

Such generosity made the poor ghost Su Ze truly witness the face of the rich.

They simply didn't treat money as money.

If he didn't have the Silver Dragon King as a better option.

He would have already prepared to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Uncle Jian, you seem to think very highly of that child Su Ze."

"You even made a promise."

On the way back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda after sending Su Ze off, Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo curiously.

"That's right, Grandpa Jian, that kid Su Zhe is clearly bragging."

"He cultivates for at least 10 hours a day, doesn't he need to rest?"

"I think he's definitely lying, Grandpa Jian, am I right?"

Ning Rongrong also rolled her eyes cutely and said coquettishly, burying herself in Sword Douluo's arms.

In Ning Rongrong's eyes, no Soul Master could be so diligent, no matter how hard they tried.

After all, there were so many fun things in this world, and cultivation was so boring and tedious.

"Fengzhi, Rongrong! You must try to maintain a good relationship with this child Su Ze."

"You might not be able to sense his specific cultivation, but if I can tell you for sure!"

"As long as he doesn't perish, this child will definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future."

"He even has a high probability of surpassing me and becoming a powerhouse like my father and grandfather."

Sword Douluo rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, his face filled with seriousness.

Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's current cultivation was level 95. His father and grandfather were both Super Douluos.

Yet now, Chen Xin's evaluation of this child Su Ze had reached such a high level.

Ning Rongrong, who was only a little over seven years old, was also shocked.

Grandpa Jian actually valued that kid named Su Ze so highly.

Was that Su Zhe really that amazing?

One year passed in the blink of an eye!

In this past year, with a few months left before turning 10, Su Ze successfully digested all the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb within his body.

And he had raised his cultivation to level 40.

At around 9 years old, reaching level 40, Su Ze had truly broken the record on the Douluo Continent.

If there were any awards for the fastest-cultivating young Soul Master.

Su Ze would undoubtedly be the recipient.

Even Qian Renxue, the future Angel God, a Genius with innate level 20 Soul Power.

Su Ze was confident that at his current age, her Soul Power would not be higher than his.

In other words, Su Ze had not only closed the gap with the protagonists from the original story.

He had even started to lead by half a divine position.

"Finally broke through to level 40, and completely absorbed the medicinal power."

"Next, I can finally try to absorb the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's soul bones."

Su Ze slowly exhaled. Absorbing the Immortal Herb had pushed his attributes to Extreme Thunder, and it had also unlocked the Storm Dragon King.

Although it had strengthened his power.

It had also slowed down his cultivation speed.

Otherwise, according to his previous cultivation speed, he should have advanced 10 levels in a year.

However, there were gains and losses. For the sake of powerful strength, Su Ze felt it was acceptable to spend a little more time.

Dugu Family.

"You brat broke through to level 40."

Dugu Bo stared at Su Ze before him in disbelief, his emerald green pupils wide, his face etched with shock.

Although he had expected it.

He was still stunned to witness Su Ze's breakthrough firsthand.

A child under ten years old had now broken through to level 40. What kind of talent was this?

He truly was the genius he had judged to have the potential to become a god.

"Senior Dugu, what's there to be surprised about? I consumed quite a few immortal herbs, which accumulated a lot of medicinal power within me."

"If my Martial Soul hadn't evolved, I would have reached level 40 half a year earlier."

Su Ze spoke calmly.

On his journey so far, he had eaten immortal herbs and absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

It would be strange if he hadn't reached level 40.

"There's no need to make a fuss. You brat, by your own words, you're putting on an act again."

"The further a Soul Master progresses, the slower their cultivation speed becomes. You've already advanced five levels in just over a year, which is already genius-level."

"Sometimes, I even suspect you're a Soul Beast Incarnation."

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes, speechless at the pronouncements of such a genius.

He had to remember, as a Titled Douluo, a renowned genius on the Douluo Continent.

He was nearly twenty when he reached level 40.

Compared to this brat Su Ze.

Dugu Bo considered himself an idiot.

Su Ze smiled at Dugu Bo's words.

Xiao Wu, a true Incarnated Soul Beast, was only level 30 at twelve years old.

He was already level 40 before he was ten.

How could she compare to him?

Thinking of what that rabbit Xiao Wu had done at Nuoding Academy, a cold glint flashed in Su Ze's eyes.

That damned rabbit, when he met her again.

He wouldn't show any mercy.

"Sigh, I'm getting old, old. It's not just you, Yan Yan and the Ye Family Girl are also not far from level 40."

"I always feel like I've been left behind by the times!"

Dugu Bo's tone was very complex.

Ye Lengleng and Dugu Yan had both consumed Immortal Herbs, so with their help, their Soul Power had increased rapidly.

Thus, they were also close to breaking through level 40.

Soul Elders around 15 years old, while of course not comparable to Su Ze.

They were still famous geniuses on the continent.

However, this also gave Dugu Bo a sense of crisis. With so many geniuses.

"Alright, Senior Dugu Bo, after I stabilize my cultivation, we'll properly select a suitable soul beast for my fourth Soul Ring."

Su Ze planned to use this time to figure out which soul beast to choose for his fourth Soul Ring.

At the same time, he would officially begin absorbing those two Soul Bones, each at least a Million Year old.

These were the Soul Bones of the two Dragon Kings.

Because of the residual medicinal effects in his body before, he hadn't tried to absorb them.

Now, he finally had the time.

"Sigh, you brat, fine. Go pick. Tell me when you've chosen."

After bidding farewell to Dugu Bo, Su Ze arrived at the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

With the Soul Bones of the two Dragon Kings, this was the most suitable place.

The Soul Bones left by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were all located in the arm positions.

Specifically, the left arm bone and the right arm bone.

Su Ze took out the two Soul Bones from his storage space. Under the sunlight, the Dragon Marks emitted a dazzling radiance.

Just holding them, Su Ze could feel the powerful strength contained within.

It was as if two dragon souls were roaring to the sky in his ears.

Looking at the Water Dragon King's right arm bone in his hand, Su Zhe took a deep breath and directly pressed the Soul Bone onto his right arm.

Under the pull of his Soul Power, the Water Dragon King's right arm bone quickly emitted layers of True Dragon Pressure.

The Extreme Water Element also emanated from the Soul Bone.

Under the power of extreme energy, Su Ze's entire right arm became covered in blood.

Intense pain constantly flooded Su Ze's senses.

This was a soul bone left behind by a true god.

To absorb it, one had to endure unspeakable agony.

Fortunately, years of arduous cultivation had made Su Ze's willpower incredibly firm.

Facing the severe pain, Su Zhe gritted his teeth and persevered.

After a long while, the completely destroyed left bone began to be reforged under the power of Extreme Water.

As the water element reforged it, a refreshing sensation surged into his mind.

Su Ze slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

First, after absorbing the Water Dragon King's soul bone, the Storm Dragon King's martial soul had been unlocked to the second stage.

The ability for soul ring evolution also began to manifest.

At the same time, he had also obtained a soul skill.

It was called Extreme Healing.

From now on, he could be immune to abnormal status effects and could also use his own attributes to recover from injuries.

Specifically, if he encountered attacks of the Water Attribute and Lightning Attribute in the future.

When his strength was equal to the opponent's, Su Ze could use these Water and Lightning Attributes to recover from injuries.

And it wasn't just the enemy's attributes; Su Ze's own Lightning and Water Attributes could also heal his injuries.

Thinking about this soul skill he had obtained, Su Ze immediately became excited.

In the future, the lightning he summoned could not only be used to attack enemies but also to heal his own injuries.

Su Ze used to envy Tang San.

The other party possessed the Blue Silver Emperor, and combined with the Clear Sky Hammer, if he hadn't taken the wrong path, he could have become a berserker who could also heal himself.

And now, after possessing the Water Dragon King's soul skill.

Su Ze had achieved it. From now on, his lightning could not only attack others but also heal his own injuries.

Tang San hadn't achieved it, but he had.

And immediately after, Su Ze began to absorb the left arm bone of the Water Fire Dragon King.

After experiencing a wave of pain, Su Ze successfully finished absorbing the left arm bone.

Just like the soul bone from the Water Dragon King, Su Ze mastered the ultimate Water Attribute and Fire Attribute.

The Water and Fire Immunity Body within him evolved once more.

Furthermore, he gained a flying skill.

He could condense a pair of wings based on his own attributes, allowing him to fly through the air at extreme speeds.

This was a very good skill for Su Ze.

Just as Su Ze was absorbing the soul bone of the Water Fire Dragon King.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, inside a mysterious space.

Two massive eyes suddenly opened, their golden pupils flashing with surprise.

"The Dragon King incarnation with the Storm Attribute, spoken of by that Water Fire Dragon King, has finally appeared."

The mysterious space distorted, the elements in the world became chaotic, and light shone upon the body with golden pupils.

It was a Silver Dragon, thousands of meters long.

"Di Tian, find this human and bring him back."

"Remember, be a little polite."

The Silver Dragon King's majestic voice echoed from the mysterious space.

Above the Lake of Life, a tall, majestic man with black hair also opened his eyes.

His eyes were a rare dark golden color.

"As you command!"
