Jing Hongchen's Repeated Bewilderment

"However, at that very moment, when the attack was only one centimeter away from my neck, a strange space suddenly appeared and pulled me directly into it."

"That's how I dodged that attack, but... sigh~"

Yao Shi he spoke, Yao couldn't help but sigh again.

"After I entered that space, a person suddenly came out and told me that what I entered was only my soul, while my physical body had been annihilated by that attack, leaving no trace."

"When I heard the news, I felt like the sky had fallen. I was so young, only thirteen, and I hadn't even enjoyed the best years of my life. Now, some unknown deity had caused my untimely death. I was filled with hatred!"

Seeing Yao Shi's flamboyant demeanor, Jing Hongchen frowned, about to speak, but was interrupted.

"However, the person who appeared in that space told me that as long as I stayed in that space, my body could slowly recover. Later I learned that that person was also a deity, named the God of Abundance."

"He said He couldn't stand that deity attacking a mortal, and that's why He intervened and saved me."

"So I could only slowly repair my body within that space, and then I discovered that my cultivation speed inside was surprisingly fast."

"At the time, I didn't know how long it would take for my body to fully recover, so I could only slowly cultivate inside."

Jing Hongchen was completely dumbfounded.

Two deities?

And all of this happened to his apprentice?

Who am I? Where am I? Is this still the Douluo Continent I know? Limit Douluo are rare, and suddenly two gods have appeared in my life?

Yao Shi ignored Jing Hongchen, who had begun to drift off into a daze, and continued speaking.

"Then, seeing my exceptional talent, the deity immediately chose me to Godhood Inheritance."

"What! Godhood Inheritance!"

"You?"

Upon hearing Yao Shi declare himself the Godhood Inheritance, Jing Hongchen exclaimed in surprise once more, her heart pounding with excitement.

"Teacher, please don't interrupt. I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush."

"Oh, sorry, Shi'er, please continue. I won't disturb you; I'll just listen quietly."

"Ahem~" Yao Shi cleared his throat and continued, "After he chose me as his successor, my cultivation speed remained fast. I broke through to the Soul King level in five days, and then the God of Abundance gave me a God-given Soul Ring, adding a fifth Soul Ring to my collection."

"Then, every time I broke through a major realm, He would give me a God-given Soul Ring for the breakthrough, and it was Soul Ring with a lifespan of 100,000 years. Finally, after nine months in the space, I successfully broke through to the Level 90 Titled Douluo!"

At this Yao Shi, Yao Shi looked at the completely bewildered Jing Hongchen with a smug expression.

"But at that time my physical body had not fully recovered, so I continued to cultivate inside. Gradually, my first Four Rings evolved into 100,000-year rings. And just in the last few days, my physical body has fully recovered, so the God of Abundance released me."

"The first thing I wanted to do after I left was to visit my grandfather, but I didn't expect that you had already brought him back, so I rushed back as well."

"..."

Jing Hongchen remained silent, utterly bewildered.

A title bestowed in September... Nine rings, ten thousand years... A successor to a god... Am I really not dreaming?

Yao Shi waved his hands in front of him, "Teacher, are you listening?"

"Oi!"

"Ah! Oh... I'm listening, Shi'er, you continue."

Jing Hongchen only came to her senses at this moment, and gasped before speaking.

Yao Shi shrugged at him, "Huh? I'm done talking!"

"That's why I disappeared for a year."

Jing Hongchen then vigorously rubbed her face, trying to wake herself up.

This series of explosive news was too much for his heart, a mere Ninth-Level Soul Engineer, to handle.

"Cough~ Shi'er... Could you please reduce that Soul Ring? This oppressive aura is making it hard for me to breathe, and the chill you're releasing is rather cold."

"Oh, I'm sorry, teacher, I forgot."

Yao Shi hearing this, Yao Shi immediately put away the nine Soul Rings.

These nine Soul Ring naturally came from Snow Empress. Although his strength has now reached the Titled Douluo, his current body is formed from the Jianmu. It can be said that he is now a pure and Abundance Ambrosial Arbor spirit.

One's own strength is no longer manifested in the Soul Ring of the Douluo Laws; one can only rely on the abilities of the creatures within the Glazed Pure Land to mimic Soul Ring.

After Yao Shi put away the Soul Ring, the violent aura instantly dissipated, and the temperature in the office began to slowly rise.

However, due to the cold air that Yao Shi had been constantly emanating from his body, a thin layer of ice and snow still covered the inside.

"Phew~"

Feeling that the surrounding environment was no longer so oppressive, Jing Hongchen finally relaxed.

He slowly walked back to his desk and sat down again in the chair that Yao Shi had been sitting in before he came in.

"Hmm!"

Jing Hongchen groaned; it turned out that his chair had also been covered in a layer of ice.

He didn't stand up; he was already seated, and it would be very embarrassing if his apprentice noticed.

"Cough..." Enduring the icy cold beneath her buttocks, Jing Hongchen coughed lightly and looked at Yao Shi.

"So, Shi'er, you're really Titled Douluo now?"

"Right."

Yao Shi nodded slightly.

"So what's your current Soul Engineer level?"

"..."

"Hehe... uh... Level 3..."

"..."

"Teacher, you can't blame me for this. Before I was killed by that god, I was just a Third-Level Soul Engineer. I didn't have any materials to make high-level Soul Tool, so I stopped progressing."

Seeing Jing Hongchen's face fall upon hearing about his Soul Engineer level, Yao Shi immediately offered his explanation.

The reason Jing Hongchen's face fell wasn't because of Yao Shi's Soul Engineer level... but actually because... the ice under his butt had melted from sitting on it.

He immediately stood up, secretly used his Soul Power to evaporate the water stains on his buttocks, then walked over to Yao Shi and patted him on the shoulder.

"Shi'er, how could I blame you for your Soul Engineer level? You're Titled Douluo now, do you know what that means?"

"Does that mean I'm now Titled Douluo?"

"..."

Thump!

Jing Hongchen's face darkened, and he lightly tapped Yao Shi on the head Yao Shi turning away.

"You're only fourteen years old, yet your cultivation has already reached the Titled Douluo. This means that for a long time to come, you won't need to focus on improving your Soul Power. You can also quickly raise your Soul Engineer level by relying on your Soul Guidance talent and Titled Douluo cultivation."

As he spoke, he turned around again, his voice filled with excitement, "With your talent, Ninth-Level Soul Engineer is a certainty for you. I believe that in the near future, you will definitely be able to challenge for the title of the number one on the continent... or perhaps the second Tenth-Level Soul Engineer!"
