The Titled Douluo Grandfather, Backed by an Overwhelming Background!

[Detected that the host's Soul Power had reached level forty.]

[Selection triggered.]

[Please choose two of the following four rewards.]

[One: Tang Yuan's strength will rise to level ninety-five.]

[Two: Soul tool treasure, Windchaser Starflight Boots.]

[Three: Soul Skill Deduction Scroll.]

[Four: Choose one Soul Ring and increase its age by ten thousand years.]

Tang Chen looked at the four rewards and fell into thought.

The Windchaser Starflight Boots did not take up a Soul Bone slot and could greatly increase speed once worn.

The Soul Skill Deduction Scroll could alter a Soul Skill.

If he was lucky enough, it could even bring about a qualitative transformation in the Soul Skill.

Yet while those two items were good, they could not compare to the other two rewards.

Grandfather was already a level eighty-three Soul Douluo.

If his strength rose to level ninety-five, he would become a Super Douluo directly.

As for increasing a Soul Ring's age by ten thousand years, that was just as straightforward.

As long as he chose his first Soul Ring, he would possess a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Tang Chen quickly made his decision.

"I choose to raise Tang Yuan's strength and increase my first Soul Ring's age by ten thousand years."

[Selection complete.]

[Tang Yuan's strength has begun to rise.]

[The first Soul Ring's age has increased by ten thousand years.]

Two rays of light appeared simultaneously.

One passed through the room and shot toward the cultivation chamber behind the courtyard.

The other entered Tang Chen's body.

The first Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up.

The originally deep-purple Soul Ring slowly darkened.

The purple glow swiftly faded away.

Black covered the entire Soul Ring.

A surge of Soul Power far stronger than before spread from the Soul Ring.

The walls of the cultivation chamber shook again.

Tang Chen raised his head.

His first Soul Ring had turned black.

The energy contained within it was several times stronger than before.

At the same time.

Inside the cultivation chamber behind the courtyard.

Tang Yuan was sitting cross-legged, regulating his breath.

Suddenly, an immense force entered his body.

The old man abruptly opened his eyes.

"What is this?"

Soul Power surged endlessly through his meridians like a great river.

The level eighty-three bottleneck was shattered in an instant.

Level eighty-four.

Level eighty-five.

Level eighty-six.

Tang Yuan hurriedly circulated his cultivation method, but he could not stop his Soul Power from continuing to rise.

His Soul Rings emerged on their own.

Eight Soul Rings circled his body, releasing a powerful pressure.

His Soul Power continued to soar.

Level ninety.

Level ninety-one.

Level ninety-two.

Only when it reached level ninety-five did the increase finally stop.

Tang Yuan stood up.

The old man lowered his head to look at his hands, unable to recover for a long time.

Level ninety-five.

He had actually crossed the late stage of Soul Douluo in one leap and become a Super Douluo.

"How is this possible?"

Tang Yuan examined his dantian and meridians again.

His Soul Power was abundant.

There was nothing unusual about his body.

His level ninety-five cultivation was truly within him.

The old man pushed open the cultivation chamber door and walked into the courtyard.

Not far away, Soul Power was still spreading from Tang Chen's room.

Tang Yuan clenched his fist.

"Could Chen'er have done something?"

He quickly made his way to the cultivation chamber door.

A moment later, the door opened.

Tang Chen stepped out.

His white robe was neat and clean, his black hair falling over his forehead.

Three Soul Rings emerged at the same time.

The first was black.

The second was black.

The third was black.

Tang Yuan was about to speak when his gaze stopped at Tang Chen's feet.

"Chen'er."

"You broke through level forty?"

"Mm."

Tang Chen nodded.

Tang Yuan looked at the three black Soul Rings, his expression changing again and again.

"Your first Soul Ring has become a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring too?"

"The Divine Examination reward increased the age of my Soul Ring."

Tang Chen did not conceal the apparent reason.

Tang Yuan raised a hand and pointed at the three Soul Rings.

"Soul Rings can increase in age?"

"With a special Martial Soul, perhaps it can be done."

Tang Yuan fell silent.

He had cultivated to level ninety-five in his lifetime and seen countless Soul Masters across the continent, yet he had never heard of Soul Rings being able to increase their age on their own.

But the three black Soul Rings before him could not be faked.

The old man lowered his head to look at his own eight Soul Rings.

Then he raised a hand and stroked his beard.

"Forget it."

"Our family's bloodline truly is different from ordinary people's."

Tang Chen looked at his grandfather.

"Grandfather, did you break through just now as well?"

"Level ninety-five."

Tang Yuan straightened his chest.

"From today onward, your grandfather is a Super Douluo too."

Joy appeared in Tang Chen's eyes.

"Congratulations, Grandfather."

"I have you to thank for this."

Tang Yuan patted Tang Chen's shoulder.

"If not for you, I would never have been able to advance another step in this lifetime."

As the two spoke, a wave of Soul Power came from the training grounds ahead.

A black figure swept across the open ground.

Zhu Zhuqing withdrew her Martial Soul and stopped nearby.

She wore a fitted black short outfit, with a neat black belt fastened around her waist.

Her long legs were wrapped in black trousers, and she made no unnecessary sound when she landed.

Her long hair was tied behind her head, while the strands before her forehead loosened gently with her movements.

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Tang Chen.

"You're out of seclusion?"

"Mm."

"How did your cultivation go?"

"My Soul Power is level forty."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered.

She walked over to Tang Chen, her gaze settling on the three black Soul Rings.

"You're already level forty?"

"I just broke through."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the three black Soul Rings, and the surprise in her eyes gradually faded.

She had long grown used to Tang Chen breaking common sense, but every time she saw it with her own eyes, her heart was still shaken.

"Your first Soul Ring has turned black too."

"A Divine Examination reward."

"You're getting stronger and stronger."

Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

Tang Chen looked at her.

"You're close to breaking through level forty too."

"Not quite yet."

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist.

"I'll catch up to you as soon as I can."

"You don't need to compare yourself to me."

"I want to catch up to you."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes.

She stood very close to him, the black fabric fitting her slender figure, her waistline clean and sharp.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell upon her fair profile.

Her cool temperament held a trace of softness that appeared only before Tang Chen.

Tang Chen reached out and brushed a fallen leaf from her shoulder.

Zhu Zhuqing's body stilled for a moment.

"There was a leaf on your shoulder."

"I could have done it myself."

"I've already taken it off."

Tang Chen withdrew his hand.

Zhu Zhuqing pressed her lips together, the tips of her ears flushing faintly red.

Tang Yuan immediately turned around in the distance.

"Grandfather didn't see anything."

Tang Chen looked at him helplessly.

"You already said it out loud."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, lightly smoothing the hem of her clothes with her fingers.

Just then.

An immense surge of Soul Power descended from outside the courtyard.

The dust on the ground suddenly rose.

The surrounding trees all bent to either side at once.

The smile vanished from Tang Yuan's face.

Tang Chen raised his eyes toward the courtyard gate.

A figure dropped from midair and landed heavily outside the courtyard.

The newcomer wore a gray robe and was tall and broad.

He gripped a pitch-black saber, its blade wreathed in dense Soul Power.

Seven Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

The pressure of a Soul Saint instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.

The man raised his head, his gaze settling on Tang Yuan and Tang Chen.

"Finally found you two."

"Tang Yuan."

"Tang Chen."
