The Foundation Establishment Pill's medicinal power was still being refined. Xiao Wu stood guard beside Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, worrying about Tang San and the rest of Shrek while unable to stop herself from watching Gu Zhi's movements.
At that moment, Gu Zhi had just shaken off the novelty of Law Power. Twenty points of Law Power could only last five seconds. Although it could ignore level suppression, for now it could only be kept as a trump card.
"They went to obtain Soul Rings?"
When he noticed that Zhu Zhuqing and the other beauties were nowhere to be seen, Gu Zhi quickly guessed that they had gone hunting Soul Beasts for Soul Rings. What he had not expected was that Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran did not need to go through the trouble of hunting Soul Beasts at all. Even Ning Rongrong, whose cultivation lagged far behind the others, had reached level thirty after sharing in the Gold Chest's rewards.
"How does it feel?"
Liu Erlong answered with another question. Even she had broken through to the Soul Douluo realm after these successive boosts, but she did not intend to use her God-given Spirit Ring yet—at least not under Gu Zhi's watchful eye.
"I gained a lot!"
Gu Zhi had previously hinted to Liu Erlong about the chests. Along the way, he had also gifted her some of the good treasures he got from opening chests in exchange for the spiritual herbs and medicines she collected.
"That's good... What are your plans afterward? Stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, or head back?"
Liu Erlong had already learned from the bullet comments about Gu Zhi's generous rewards this time. Even though Gu Zhi did not explain further, she did not press him on it.
"It's time to go back. Improving too quickly can make one's state of mind unstable."
Even Gu Zhi himself marveled at how fast he was leveling up. He had just won ten consecutive matches at the Great Soul Arena and received ten levels of Soul Power, and now he had directly gained another five levels.
Those consecutive increases had affected his state of mind. If he did not take time to stabilize it, there would definitely be serious problems later.
"Want to have a fight with me?"
Liu Erlong also wanted to know how powerful Gu Zhi had become. This challenge might be her only chance to defeat him through the advantage of her higher cultivation.
"Next time. We're still in the Star Dou Great Forest, after all. If we make too much noise, those Ferocious Beasts deep in the core area might notice."
Gu Zhi also wanted to see whether he could last a few exchanges against a formidable Soul Master like Liu Erlong, but considering that they were still in the Star Dou Great Forest, he decided to postpone the match.
"Oh, right. I comprehended some new cultivation techniques this time. Want to try them?"
In the current Douluo Continent, aside from Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, no orthodox cultivation techniques had yet appeared.
The techniques Gu Zhi received from the system rewards were not inferior to the Mysterious Heaven Skill in the slightest. Especially since he had drawn intermediate techniques and intermediate immortal arts this time—those things would definitely rank no lower than heaven-tier techniques in the neighboring world!
In fact, it was not only Gu Zhi who had obtained powerful techniques. Liu Erlong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other beauties had also received some extremely powerful techniques, strong enough to rival Ten Thousand Year Soul Skills.
"Nothing else to do, so let's take a look."
As Liu Erlong flipped through the techniques she had received and prepared to exchange insights with Gu Zhi, she suddenly noticed that his expression had turned strange.
"What the hell? What kind of reward is a dual cultivation technique? Gu Zhi, is your system even legitimate?"
"Seriously, isn't this a little too subtle? I thought Ultimate Fire was already invincible in the world! Who knew there was an even greater expert?"
"Good grief! All five intermediate techniques are for dual cultivation! Anyone who didn't know better would think I had entered the wrong site!"
"Are you kidding? How could just these few techniques be enough? If the moderators next door saw this, they'd think we couldn't afford them! Give us another one! One for each person!"
"Are you guys really treating me, Gu Zhi, like a production-team donkey? Now you're demanding one for each person!"
"Fine, fine, fine! I hereby declare Gu Zhi the next sect master of our Acacia Sect!"
Now Liu Erlong understood why Gu Zhi's expression had become so strange. She had not expected that they had received proper cultivation techniques while Gu Zhi's side had caused such a huge commotion.
"Ahem! Let's discuss this after we get back."
Fortunately, the techniques were transmitted directly into his mind. If they had come in written form, Gu Zhi would have died of embarrassment on the spot!
Unfortunately, the five intermediate immortal arts he received required Law Power to perform. Otherwise, Gu Zhi could have simply passed them off as cultivation techniques...
Still, even though Gu Zhi had not brought out those five dual cultivation techniques, all the beauties of Douluo who were watching the bullet comments now knew about them.
As the bullet comments thoroughly analyzed the benefits of the five dual cultivation techniques, beauties like Tang Yuehua found their thoughts becoming even more active...
"This system is so improper! But is there really a method in the world that can raise cultivation like this..."
Watching the bullet comments make all kinds of improper remarks, Xiao Wu felt embarrassed and annoyed while involuntarily beginning to imagine things. Her face reddened until it was practically as hot as a steam engine.
"We finally made it through!"
Only when Ning Rongrong's voice rang out did Xiao Wu realize that they had finished absorbing the Foundation Establishment Pill's medicinal power. They were about to use their God-given Spirit Rings to obtain their third Soul Rings.
"Did we miss something?"
The moment Meng Yiran opened her eyes, she noticed the bullet comments flooding the screen. She then spared some attention to figure out what had happened. Her eyes rolled, and she clearly seemed to have gotten some mischievous idea.
"So this is possible too..."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also blushed furiously when they saw it. These matters were still somewhat stimulating to them. Yet neither of them avoided the topic, looking exactly like the bullet comments' suspicious act of putting their hands beneath the blanket...
"Focus! You still need to absorb your Soul Rings!"
Seeing things veer off track, Xiao Wu hurriedly told them to put their minds back on the important matter.
Zhu Zhuqing and the other two exchanged looks, then quickly turned their heads away. It took them quite some time to clear the filthy thoughts from their minds before taking out their God-given Spirit Rings and beginning the absorption.
"It's finally starting! Go, Baby Zhuqing! Get yourself a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
"They're only getting their third Soul Rings! Isn't going for Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings already way too outrageous?"
"Logically speaking, it's fine as long as their physiques and spiritual power can keep up! Didn't Tang San break through the master's theory because his physique was so strong?"
"Right! After being tempered by the three great pills, Baby Zhuqing and the others' physiques and spiritual power have long surpassed the three-ring realm by a huge margin! Even if they can't get Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, Soul Rings of eight or nine thousand years should still be possible!"
"The theoretical upper limit for three rings is a little over four thousand years! With Zhu Zhuqing and the others' current physiques, doubling that limit should not be a problem! They might really obtain Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!"
"By the way, does everyone know the age of Gu Zhi's four Soul Rings? It'll scare you to death when I tell you! All four are Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!"
"That's so insane! He started with Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings! Wouldn't his next Soul Ring have to be a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"
"They're God-given Spirit Rings, after all! I already said that as long as they can withstand it, even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings are possible!"
The bullet comments once again exposed Gu Zhi's hidden strength. Even Tang San in the original work had only raised all his Soul Rings to the Ten Thousand Year level when he was close to becoming a god.
Once Gu Zhi began his Divine Trial, wouldn't all his Soul Rings be at the Hundred Thousand Year level?
