Gong Changlong: Beware Everyone

Gong Changlong talked with Chen Yuan for a long time, until the sky began to lighten and Gong Changlong broke, before he finally let Chen Yuan go.

"Chen Yuan, how much do you remember about the environment of the Land of Great Evil? Would you be interested in adding a few strokes to the map of the Star Dou Great Forest? You are the first human to ever return from the Land of Great Evil."

Mu En smiled as he looked at Chen Yuan. This was a golden opportunity to make a name for himself in history; such an opportunity was rare, perhaps only a few times in a lifetime.

The last non-powerful individual to leave their mark on history was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang; his case is not one to be repeated.

Currently, besides the First-generation Shrek Seven Devils and the Golden Iron Triangle, the most famous one is the one who observed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and successfully enabled humans to condense a Soul Core.

The Soul Core truly grants a Titled Douluo the ability to single-handedly confront Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Unlike before, when hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast required a Titled Douluo of level 95 to oversee the operation, who could guarantee they could defeat Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

The map of the Star Dou Great Forest is also an important element; at least so far, the central area is red on all Star Dou Great Forest maps.

No one knows what the central area is like, because no one who has seen it has ever returned alive; they have all become fertilizer for the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Mu En, what I saw was not the complete picture of this Land of Great Evil. Is this acceptable?"

"Of course, this is the first record of a Land of Great Evil. You just need to draw what you remember."

"Okay, I'll draw one when I have time."

Upon hearing this, Mu En smiled. This was a major step forward for humanity in exploring the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Don't be so tense at such a young age. Relax a little, and you'll reap unexpected rewards. Okay, go back to the Outer Court. Your little girlfriend should be waking up soon."

Gong Changlong and Chen Yuan flew together towards the Outer Court.

Seeing Chen Yuan's joy at flying, Gong Changlong felt much younger, remembering how excited Chen Yuan was when he first learned to fly.

However, Chen Yuan was able to fly much earlier than him.

Gong Changlong was right; at Chen Yuan's age, he already had a considerable reputation among the younger generation across the entire mainland.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament doesn't actually have a significant impact on enhancing the reputation of these young Soul Master in the Soul Master World.

However, geniuses who don't grow up only receive attention; in the eyes of the older generation, they are nothing.

If you want to increase your fame, you should travel across the continent after you have become powerful enough.

Not only Chen Yuan, but even Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong from the original novel were not recognized when they encountered Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.

"Elder Gong, how do you condense Titled Douluo's Soul Core?"

"What? Soul Core? Don't be so ambitious, kid. You're still a long way from becoming Titled Douluo."

"I'm just curious, Elder Gong, please tell me about it."

Whether it's a human or Soul Beast, the method for obtaining the first Soul Core is basically the same, except for the location where it's stored.

In this situation, Chen Yuan felt it would be more appropriate to ask Gong Changlong, who was also human and a fire-attribute Soul Master.

When Chen Yuan needs to condense his Second Soul Core in the future, he will definitely ask Di Tian about the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores method.

Currently, only Di Tian on the entire continent has completed the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, and one of the conditions for this is extremely strong physical attributes.

Chen Yuan knew little about the rest.

"Ahem, since you're curious, then this old man will reluctantly tell you."

"Our human bodies can accommodate both gaseous and liquid Soul Power, but at the Titled Douluo level, the density of Soul Power within the human body reaches a terrifying level."

"In that state, Soul Power will solidify, and solidified Soul Power cannot circulate in the human body. Thus, a Titled Douluo created the Soul Core Method."

"By condensing all the Soul Power in the body into Soul Core, storing this Soul Core in the lower abdomen, that is, the dantian, and then letting it rotate continuously."

"In this way, Soul Master can continuously absorb external Soul Power, making them much stronger in both combat and Soul Power recovery speed. This is why a level 91 Titled Douluo is only one level higher than a Level 90 Soul Douluo, yet their strength differs so greatly."

"To control solid Soul Power, one must have sufficiently strong Spiritual Power, which is why it is necessary to focus on improving Spiritual Power after becoming Titled Douluo."

"At the same time, this is also why I've been stuck at level 92 for so many years. If your Spiritual Power isn't enough, blindly manipulating solidified Soul Power can kill you."

"If your Spiritual Power is strong enough to perfectly control those solid Soul Power, you might be able to achieve the coexistence of solid, liquid, and gaseous states sooner, which is equivalent to a level 95 Super Douluo."

"So? Aren't you looking forward to it?"

"Yes, so what's next? What about the realms after level ninety-five?"

Gong Changlong slapped Chen Yuan on the back of the head in an annoyed tone.

It almost knocked Chen Yuan into the Sea God Lake below.

"How would I know about that level? I only heard Mu En say that Level 98 Super Douluo needs to condense a second Soul Core to break through to level 99."

"With your talent, you might reach your limit in the future, so don't be overly ambitious. What you need to do now is rest well and then come with me to hunt for your sixth Soul Ring."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely pick a Soul Ring for you that's around 50,000 years old."

"This... wouldn't it be too much trouble for Elder Gong to handle?"

If you keep following me, how am I supposed to get to the Ice Fire Mandarin Duck Pot? I can't sneak away either, otherwise Gong Changlong Gong Changlong will probably get angry again, and he'll follow me wherever I go from now on.

Gong Changlong was sincere towards Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan didn't want Gong Changlong to be angry anymore.

Let's reveal something that's not important. Let Gong Changlong help him out. That way, we can have an explanation for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Although I'm not happy about deceiving Gong Changlong, I have no other choice now.

I can't very well reveal the deal between myself Di Tian, can I? That would involve even more complicated matters.

"What? You think I'm not strong enough to carry you?"

"No, Elder Gong, I have a secret to tell you, but don't tell anyone else."

"What the heck? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Seeing Chen Yuan gesture for him to come closer, Gong Changlong was very puzzled, but he still came to Chen Yuan's side.

Chen Yuan brushed aside the stray hairs on his forehead, and the Fire Elephant Star Seal gradually appeared on his forehead. Gong Changlong's eyes went from confusion to shock to disbelief in just one second.

He quickly stepped back, pointing incredulously at Chen Yuan, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Only when the fire symbol mark on Chen Yuan's head disappeared did Gong Changlong regain control of his body from the shock. He suddenly slapped himself twice, his face burning with pain, proving that what he had just seen was real.

The mark on the forehead—this is something fully documented in Shrek's records; it's God Exam!

Legend has it that there are several types of God Exam. Even those who pass the worst test will receive a substantial reward, while those who pass the best test can even ascend to godhood.

But this thing is just a legend!

This hasn't happened in over ten thousand years!

And then it just appeared right in front of me?!

Gong Changlong finally understood why Chen Yuan was able to emerge from the Land of Great Evil!

It turns out there's an even more terrifying being standing behind them than Di Tian!

Gong Changlong grabbed Chen Yuan, then looked around. His Titled Douluo- level Spiritual Power scanned the surroundings again and again, and only after confirming that there was no one else around did Gong Changlong breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you even know what you're doing?!"

"How can you just openly display something so important?! Nobody knows if this thing can be stolen like Soul Bone! What if someone gets malicious intent and wants to try it out?"

As he spoke, Gong Changlong's gaze swept towards Sea God Island.

In his mind, once others knew about the mark on Chen Yuan's head, Mu En would be the most likely person to harm Chen Yuan.

Mu En was exceptionally talented in his youth, but he was limited to the limits of human potential. If an opportunity to continue living, or even to ascend to the legendary Divine Realm, were presented to him, Gong Changlong, no matter how much he trusted Mu En, felt that Mu En might actually take action.

This is a matter of great importance, and no amount of caution is excessive.

"Go to hell! I'm glad you trust me so much, but don't you know you can never be too careful?"

"Wait a minute, you don't have any trump cards to save your life against me, do you? That's why you're telling me this, isn't it?"

"Uh, no."

"***! Look me in the eye and say that again?! I didn't expect Chen Yuan, to be so cunning! You've been hiding something!"

"Elder Gong, as Titled Douluo, you must have some trump cards, right? This Soul Master World is full of deceit and treachery; having more trump cards means having more options."

"I**!"

Yes, Gong Changlong's insults were extremely offensive.

"Hmph! Is there any danger?"

"Ah?"

"I'm asking you, isn't that thing of yours dangerous? Shrek has records that failure with this thing means certain death."

"Oh, I haven't even started yet."

"That's good. If you need any help, just ask me. I want to see that legendary realm with my own eyes before I die!"

"By the way, from now on, be careful of Mu En! No! Be careful of everyone! Including me! Do you understand?!"

"Elder Gong, is that really necessary?"

"It absolutely has to be included! Got it?!"

Seeing how serious Gong Changlong was, Chen Yuan quickly nodded to indicate that he understood.

Seeing this, Gong Changlong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you saying that I don't need to help you with your sixth Soul Ring?"

"Yes, it's just that I need Elder Gong to go out and hide for a couple of days. When I come back, we'll coordinate our stories and cover for me. We'll say that you helped me hunt down my sixth Soul Ring."

"Alright! No problem! No matter how many years the Soul Ring is, I'll take the blame for this!"

Chen Yuan looked at Gong Changlong, who was patting his chest and indicating that everything was fine with him, and silently apologized to him in his heart.

The age limit of that Soul Ring will probably make Gong Changlong scold himself again, since it's a huge culprit.

Gong Changlong: Ah, right, right, right! I was the one who hunted down that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for Chen Yuan all by myself!

Back at the dormitory building of the Outer Court, I saw Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi releasing their martial spirits and confronting Xiao Xiao at the door.

"Xiao Xiao! I know you're anxious! But you're not strong enough, you absolutely can't go!"

"That's right, Chen Yuan's life is hanging in the balance right now. If something else happens to you, I don't know how I'll explain it to Chen Yuan!"

Four Soul Ring shone behind Xiao Xiao, and the aura of the three large cauldrons became ancient and heavy, as if they could suppress the entire area.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi also had four Soul Ring behind them. Chen Yuan's life or death was still uncertain, so they had no interest in absorbing Soul Ring. The two Soul Beast were still trapped in their Beast Pen.

"Please step aside, seniors! I must find Brother Chen Yuan! Even if I die, I want to die with him!"

"There's no need to die together; I want to live a little longer."

Xiao Xiao was on edge and couldn't immediately recognize Chen Yuan's voice.

Upon seeing Chen Yuan's figure appear, her Soul Power reacted, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears. The fierce determination she had shown to fight Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi to the death vanished completely.

She threw herself into Chen Yuan Chen Yuan's arms, greedily inhaling his scent.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? Your snot is all over my clothes."

While comforting Xiao Xiao, Chen Yuan glanced at Bei Bei and the other two, his face full of disdain.

"You two, don't come any closer. I'm not gay."

"Get lost! You talk like you're gay! You're a jerk who values women over friends!"

"That's right! Bei Bei! Let's go! Let's beat him up together!"
