Although the nine-colored dragon-shaped mark on Lu Chen's forehead was completely different from the Rakshasa God trial mark she possessed, the two carried an extremely similar aura.

A god trial mark.

The moment this thought appeared in Bibi Dong's mind, even she found it hard to believe.

How long had it been since Lu Chen left Spirit City?

Not even a month.

Even counting from the day he had truly taken her as his master, the time had been pitifully short.

Yet in that brief time, Lu Chen's Soul Power had risen repeatedly, while both his body and martial soul had undergone tremendous changes. Now, he might have even obtained a god trial.

Before Bibi Dong accepted the Rakshasa God trial, no one knew better than she did what she had gone through.

The path she had walked had never been easy.

Whether it was her own past experiences or the price she later paid to gain greater power, none of it was something an ordinary person could endure.

She had suffered countless hardships to reach where she was today, finally earning the Rakshasa God's recognition and becoming the Rakshasa God's inheritor.

But looking at Lu Chen again, before entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had merely been a child who had left Spirit City not long ago and absorbed two soul rings.

After entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, not only had he discovered the tremendous opportunity hidden beneath the lake, but a nine-colored mark that very likely represented a god trial had also appeared on his forehead.

The contrast before and after was so great that Bibi Dong did not know what to say for a moment.

She even felt a rare sense of helplessness.

The gap between people truly was greater than one could imagine.

She had endured who knew how much pain to obtain a divine inheritance, yet less than a month after leaving Spirit City, Lu Chen had already seemingly gained the recognition of some god.

Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment before ultimately choosing not to ask about the mark's origin right away.

What concerned her more now was Lu Chen's physical condition.

Such a fierce battle had taken place beneath the lake, and Lu Chen had absorbed energy within the cocoon for three whole days. Even if he appeared uninjured now, he still needed to be thoroughly examined.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei clearly had the same thought.

The two approached Lu Chen from either side.

Lu Chen did not refuse.

He knew that the disturbance beneath the lake must have worried them greatly.

Although he felt perfectly fine now, allowing them to examine him would truly put everyone at ease.

Yue Guan was the first to send a thread of Soul Power into Lu Chen's body.

His movements were extremely cautious, and he controlled his Soul Power with great gentleness to avoid provoking a backlash from Lu Chen's own strength.

But when that thread of Soul Power truly came into contact with Lu Chen's meridians and flesh, Yue Guan's expression immediately changed noticeably.

"This..."

He had originally thought that after absorbing such an enormous amount of power, there would surely be some problems inside Lu Chen's body.

Even if he had not been injured, part of the energy might not have completely stabilized yet.

But the results of the examination were completely different from what he had imagined.

The energy within Lu Chen's body circulated with extraordinary stability.

Not only had his meridians not been damaged by the impact of the ice and fire energies, they had instead become exceptionally tough.

His flesh, bones, and every part inside his body seemed to have undergone an incomparably thorough tempering.

Yue Guan continued to heighten his senses.

A moment later, the surprise on his face had become impossible to conceal.

Gui Mei had also finished his initial examination from the other side.

The two exchanged a glance, each seeing the same disbelief in the other's eyes.

"What is it?"

Noticing their expressions, Dugu Bo could not help asking.

Yue Guan did not answer immediately. Instead, he carefully sensed again, as though wanting to make certain his judgment was not mistaken.

After a moment, he slowly withdrew his Soul Power.

"His physical strength is already comparable to that of a Titled Douluo."

When Yue Guan spoke those words, his tone was complicated.

This was no longer something that could be explained by mere talent.

Lu Chen was only six years old, and his Soul Power Level was still far from that of a Titled Douluo.

Yet his physical strength had already crossed who knew how many thresholds ahead of time, reaching a level sufficient to stand alongside a Titled Douluo.

Gui Mei also nodded lightly.

"His bones, meridians, and flesh are all exceptionally strong. Ordinary soul masters cannot compare to him at all. Even a Soul Douluo might not surpass him in pure physical ability."

After receiving Gui Mei's confirmation, Dugu Bo's gaze toward Lu Chen changed as well.

A Titled Douluo's physical strength could not be attained through age and training alone.

Each time a Soul Master obtained a soul ring, their body would be strengthened to a certain extent. By the time they cultivated to the level of Titled Douluo, their bodies had already undergone countless transformations.

But Lu Chen was only in his twenties in level.

Strictly speaking, he had only absorbed two soul rings.

Yet merely through this opportunity at the bottom of the lake, his physical strength had crossed multiple stages—Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, and Soul Douluo—directly reaching a level comparable to a Titled Douluo.

Such an improvement could no longer be described as merely enormous.

What put even greater pressure on Yue Guan and Gui Mei was Lu Chen's current spiritual power.

When the two examined his body, their Soul Power inevitably came into contact with Lu Chen's spiritual fluctuations.

Although Lu Chen did not actively resist, the two could still sense a heavy pressure.

It was not an attack formed by Lu Chen deliberately releasing his spiritual power.

The natural emanation of the power within his sea of consciousness alone had already made Yue Guan and Gui Mei wary.

Both were Titled Douluos, so their spiritual power naturally far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters.

Yet even with their cultivation, they did not dare probe too deeply when coming into contact with Lu Chen's spiritual power.

After the remnants of the two Dragon Kings' divine consciousness had been Devoured, although the vast majority of that power had entered Leugocyte, even the portion fed back to Lu Chen had caused a qualitative transformation in his spiritual power.

"His spiritual power has improved tremendously as well," Gui Mei said in a deep voice.

"It even made me feel pressure," Yue Guan said, nodding.

Though he did not continue, everyone understood what those words meant.

A Soul Grandmaster only in his twenties in level could make a Titled Douluo feel pressure merely through the spiritual fluctuations he naturally emitted.

If they had not witnessed such a thing themselves, no one would have believed it.

Lu Chen lowered his head and looked at his hands.

He had already sensed the immense changes in his body at the bottom of the lake, but he had no accurate assessment of them.

Only after hearing Yue Guan and Gui Mei's words did he understand just how far this improvement had gone.

However, no one therefore believed that Lu Chen could now defeat a Titled Douluo head-on.

Having physical attributes comparable to a Titled Douo only meant that Lu Chen possessed a foundation close to that of a Titled Douluo in terms of strength, speed, endurance, and other aspects.

That did not mean his actual combat power had reached the level of a Titled Douluo.
