Gong Changlong has been having a great time these past two days, wandering around Heaven Dou City without any pressure.

These days without having to go to work are so comfortable. If possible, Gong Changlong hopes there will be more days like this.

Because of his status Sea God Pavilion Elder at the Shrek Academy, and his reputation as a renowned expert on Soul Beast across the continent, the Heaven Soul Imperial Family came to receive him on his second day in Heaven Dou City.

These people arrived in a state of great fear and trepidation, as if someone in their Heaven Dou City had offended Shrek's "Beast King." In the end, they learned from Gong Changlong that he was simply accompanying his good-for-nothing junior to Heaven Dou City for a few days.

Upon hearing this answer, the Heaven Soul Imperial Family relaxed considerably and then took the opportunity to invite Gong Changlong Gong Changlong Palace Banquet a few days later, hoping to establish a relationship with him.

Gong Changlong originally did not intend to accept the invitation. He may seem carefree, but he is actually quite shrewd and knows exactly what the Heaven Soul Imperial Family is thinking.

But in the end, he heard that the Heavenly Soul Empire had invited the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect and the Mystic Underworld Sect to this banquet.

That's right, the Mystic Underworld Sect is also a sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but Xu Sanshi's mother, the sect leader's wife of the Mystic Underworld Sect, is a princess of the Dou Ling Empire.

Gong Changlong really didn't want to get involved in these power struggles, but the Heaven Soul Imperial Family's sudden invitation to these forces clearly meant they had something to do, so he decided it would be better to go and see.

Besides Gong Changlong, Chen Yuan was also going to this banquet. Gong Changlong planned to take Chen Yuan to broaden his horizons.

But Chen Yuan has been out Soul Hunting alone for three or four days now, why hasn't he returned yet?

Just as Gong Changlong was getting anxious and wondering if something had happened to Chen Yuan, and was about to go and look for him himself, Chen Yuan appeared in front of Gong Changlong unharmed.

Seeing that Chen Yuan's clothes were completely undamaged, Gong Changlong wondered if the kid was lying to him and hadn't actually gone Soul Hunting at all.

However, the aura released by Chen Yuan did indeed reach the Soul Emperor, and judging from the stable appearance of his Soul Power, he should not be at level sixty-one.

It's very likely that he'll reach level 62 directly, or even be close to level 63. Gong Changlong is practically green with envy.

This brat in front of me has only just turned sixteen! There are still four years until the next Sun Moon Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. Could this kid just be a high-level Soul Saint by now?

Wouldn't that be a bit like bullying someone?

Should we suggest to the college that this kid take on the role of a team leader to develop his leadership skills?

"Tell me, how many years has your sixth Soul Ring been active? Let's quickly coordinate our stories so I can rehearse what to say beforehand and avoid giving myself away when I get back."

Gong Changlong casually sealed the room, picked up his tea and took a sip. He appeared very concerned, but in reality, he didn't care at all. After all, it was just a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring; he, a Titled Douluo, could easily fool him.

Chen Yuan didn't say much. Five Soul Ring, one yellow, one purple, one black, and one white, appeared one after another. Finally, under Gong Changlong's expectant gaze, a blood-red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring appeared.

The crimson light illuminated Gong Changlong's face, and the shocked expression on his face was exactly what Chen Yuan wanted to see.

If Chen Yuan doesn't use the absorption of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to show off, then the fun of absorbing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring is greatly reduced.

"Clatter!"

Gong Changlong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he didn't even realize when the teacup slipped from his hand and shattered.

The Soul Power fluctuations unique to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring swept through this sealed space. As the only spectator, Gong Changlong clearly sensed the terrifying aura that made even him tremble.

There's no mistake! It's a genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Gong Changlong had sensed this aura from both Mu En and Xuan Zi, so there was no mistaking it.

"Ten! Ten! Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!!!"

"Calm down, Elder Gong, calm down. You're an elder of Shrek Academy, haven't you seen enough Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? Don't act like you've never seen anything like this before."

"Damn it! Do you want to hear what you're saying?! This is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring! Among all the elders of Shrek Academy, only Mu En and Xuan Zi have one!"

Gong Changlong grabbed Chen Yuan's shoulder, his excitement evident.

"Do you know that even Mu En couldn't achieve the sixth ring in 100,000 years?! In our Shrek records, only the legendary Sea God accomplished it."

"But his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was obtained through a sacrifice by his wife Soft Bone Douluo; it couldn't be considered something he absorbed himself."

"You've made history! A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring that you absorbed entirely on your own! By the way, how did you even kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

It seems that Gong Changlong has misunderstood again.

Chen Yuan didn't intend to clarify, after all, being sacrificed by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast- Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was even more fantastical than killing one.

Throughout history, the only known cases of Tang San and his son being sacrificed by Soul Beast are clearly documented.

Indeed, throughout the ten thousand years of history of the Douluo Continent, only Tang San and his son have received sacrifices from Soul Beast.

Bibi Dong's identity is unclear; there are several versions of her story, and no one is certain.

Chen Yuan didn't explain further, knowing that too much talk would lead to mistakes. He simply tapped his forehead, Gong Changlong instantly revealed a knowing expression.

Just blame everything on that non-existent God Exam; no one can prove Chen Yuan is lying, and no one will doubt it.

Quickly calming himself down, Gong Changlong's mind raced.

He originally thought it was just a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but then a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring suddenly appeared, which put him in a difficult position.

After racking his brains for a long time, almost scratching his head until he was Gong Changlong, Gong Changlong finally came up with an answer that he felt was acceptable.

"Okay, when we get back, we'll say that this time during our Soul Hunting, we encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had just survived its Heavenly Tribulation, and then we killed it without much effort."

"That won't work either. You only have the Blazing Pegasus Right Leg Bone in your body; your physical abilities won't be up to par, and people will easily become suspicious."

Seeing that Gong Changlong had overturned his own idea, Chen Yuan quickly interjected, fearing that Gong Changlong would die from brain overload.

"Well, actually, I obtained its Soul Bone when we hunted the Golden Lion Mastiff last time."

"Impossible! I even dismembered the Golden Lion Mastiff —could it be?!"

Chen Yuan nodded, acknowledging Gong Changlong's guess.

"Ah!!! Your luck is just too incredible, kid?! That's the External Soul Bone of Golden Lion Mastiff!"

You didn't tell me! Hurry! Let me see it! I'm so old and I've never seen External Soul Bone before!"

Retracting his martial soul and Soul Ring, Chen Yuan silently raised his right fist, letting the violent aura that Gong Changlong would never forget replace the oppressive power of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

This time, however, Gong Changlong didn't lose his composure. Instead, he grabbed Chen Yuan's hand and started hitting it from the left and right.

This made Chen Yuan a little embarrassed.

"Elder Gong, I know you're agitated, but is this really necessary?"

"What do you know? Your External Soul Bone is rarer than Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and it just so happens to be in your right fist. No wonder I didn't notice you obtained Soul Bone."

"That's fine, though. Now it's easier to explain. I'm the only one who's ever faced Golden Lion Mastiff Soul Beast, so its strength is undeniable. I'll take the blame for you absorbing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"

"Thank you, Elder Gong. By the way, I just happened to obtain this item this time. You should absorb it; that way, you'll at least become Super Douluo in the future."

Chen Yuan took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from his Soul Tool, and the temperature in the room rose slightly because of the appearance of this Immortal Herb.

Before arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Chen Yuan had already replaced his Storage Soul Tool with one that could store living beings.

Storing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Immortal Herb that has not yet developed sentience, is very simple.

Sensing the martial spirit's desire for the Immortal Herb in Chen Yuan's hand, Gong Changlong's eyes and throat bobbed as he struggled to look away from the herb in front of him.

Red cockscomb-shaped flowers, golden-red veins on the leaves— the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!

Gong Changlong recognized this legendary Immortal Grade Herb because, thanks to Ma Xiaotao, the entire Shrek Academy was secretly searching for Immortal Herb.

Everyone hoped that Ma Xiaotao, after absorbing this Immortal Herb, could become a true fire phoenix like Ma Hongjun of the First-generation Shrek Seven Devils.

It should be said that all the forces on the continent are secretly searching for these Immortal Herb, which are recognized as something that can give a person the foundation to become a god!

Especially the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, which no longer operates in secret, has directly offered bounties across the entire continent.

But right now, Gong Changlong has such a Immortal Herb right in front of him!

How could this not excite him?

After struggling internally for a while, Gong Changlong ruthlessly pushed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower towards Chen Yuan.

"Absorb it. You're young, and you still have the God Exam. If you absorb this, your chances of becoming a god will definitely increase; at the very least, you'll become the Ultimate Fire."

"I'm already too old. Being Titled Douluo in this lifetime is good enough."

Chen Yuan seemed to have anticipated Gong Changlong's response, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Elder Gong, don't worry. Do you think I wouldn't have enough to eat? If I didn't have enough, I wouldn't give you the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Just keep channeling your Soul Power into it."

Chen Yuan subtly revealed a trace of the aura of Ultimate Fire, causing Gong Changlong to tremble all over. In an instant Chen Yuan before him transformed into an insurmountable mountain.

At this moment, he believed that Chen Yuan had not lied to him. Gong Changlong smiled bitterly. He never expected that Chen Yuan would find two of the immortal Immortal Herb Shrek and other major forces had been searching for for thousands of years without success.

Without further ado, Gong Changlong took the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and began absorbing it immediately.

If they don't absorb it, are they going to take it back to Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao?

Don't be ridiculous. It's true that Gong Changlong is a senior member of Shrek, but Shrek Academy is also divided into many factions. What will Gong Changlong get in return for handing over the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao?

Their goodwill?

In terms of material conditions, Gong Changlong really didn't believe that Yan Shaozhe could offer anything that would impress him.

Moreover, what could be more precious than the Immortal Herb?

Giving them a master and disciple is not as good as letting Gong Changlong absorb it himself. One way is to pin one's hopes for the future on others, while the other way is to give oneself a bright future.

This is a multiple-choice question that almost anyone could answer.

Moreover, this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was given to Gong Changlong by Chen Yuan, which made it all the more special to Gong Changlong.

If Gong Changlong were to give away the things Chen Yuan had given him to someone else, he would want to slap himself a few times.

From noon to evening, the fire attribute of the Gong Changlong continued to increase, quickly reaching its strongest state under the Ultimate Fire, and could no longer advance.

While the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower can indeed purify flames and enhance fire attributes, it's far from enough to allow someone to advance to the level of Ultimate Fire.

Within the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, only the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass possess Ultimate Attribute.

The flames gradually subsided, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower turned to ashes and disappeared, and the aura emanating from the Gong Changlong steadily increased.

Level 92 - Level 93 - Level 94.

Ultimately, Gong Changlong's cultivation level reached the peak of level ninety-four.

Level 95 and above is Super Douluo. In this era with Soul Core, Super Douluo must achieve the coexistence of the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of Soul Power, otherwise they cannot break through.

"Hahaha! That feels so good! My cultivation has finally improved after all these years!"

Gong Changlong felt the level 94 Soul Power within his body, and laughed loudly. After so many years, his cultivation had finally improved once again.

Gong Changlong patted Chen Yuan's shoulder excitedly, tears streaming down his face, feeling that his experiences over the years had been unjust.

Who doesn't want to be strong?

However, Gong Changlong's talent was basically exhausted after he became Titled Douluo. It would be impossible for him to become Super Douluo without an extraordinary stroke of luck.

Wiping away his tears, Gong Changlong resumed his carefree demeanor.

Congratulations, Elder Gong!

"Thanks to you, kid, it's almost time. Let's go! I'll treat you to the most prestigious Palace Banquet in the Heavenly Soul Empire tonight! Don't be shy!"

"Ah? Palace Banquet?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you? Oh well, it's not too late to tell you now. Come on, I'll take you to try the food of the Heaven Soul Imperial Family."

"Uh, Elder Gong, they invited you, right? Besides, I still need to cultivate."

"It's alright! You're my junior, and you've been following me all day long. All you do is cultivate, so relax for a day today!"

"So, you've absorbed a Immortal Herb and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone. What level are you at now?"

Level 67.

"Tsk! A sixteen-year-old high-level Soul Emperor! You're inhuman! I'm certain that in less than ten years, you'll be famous throughout the continent, and for the next few hundred years, you'll be the most famous kid ever!"

"Hahaha! Don't forget about this old man then!"
