The Foundation Establishment Pill's medicinal power was still being refined. Xiao Wu stood guard beside Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, worried about Tang San and the rest of Shrek while unable to stop herself from paying attention to Gu Zhi's movements.
Gu Zhi had just shaken off the novelty of Law Power. Twenty points of Law Power could only last for five seconds. Even though it could ignore level suppression, for now, it could only be saved as a trump card.
"They went to obtain Soul Rings?"
When he noticed that Zhu Zhuqing and the other beauties were gone, Gu Zhi quickly guessed that they had gone to hunt 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 had lagged far behind the others, had reached level thirty after benefiting from the Gold Chest's reward.
"How did it feel?"
Liu Erlong answered with a question. Even she had broken through to the Soul Douluo realm after this series of rapid improvements, but she did not intend to use the God-given Spirit Ring yet—at least not in front of Gu Zhi.
"I gained a lot!"
Gu Zhi had already subtly told Liu Erlong about the treasure chests. Along the way, he had also given her some of the good treasures he obtained from them in exchange for the spirit herbs and medicinal plants she gathered.
"That's good... What are you planning to do next? Stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, or head back?"
Liu Erlong had already learned of Gu Zhi's generous rewards from the bullet comments. Even though Gu Zhi did not elaborate, she did not press him further.
"It's time to go back. Advancing too quickly can make one's state of mind unstable."
Even Gu Zhi himself felt that he had leveled up far too quickly. He had just earned ten levels of Soul Power cultivation for achieving ten consecutive victories in the Great Soul Arena, and this time he had gained another five levels outright.
The consecutive breakthroughs had affected his state of mind. If he did not spend some time consolidating it, serious problems would definitely arise later.
"Want to have a match with me?"
Liu Erlong also wanted to know how strong Gu Zhi had become. This challenge might be her only chance to defeat him by relying on her superior cultivation.
"Next time. We're still inside the Star Dou Great Forest. 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 exchange a few moves with a powerful 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 a few more 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 emerged.
The cultivation techniques Gu Zhi had obtained from the system rewards were not inferior to the Mysterious Heaven Skill in the slightest. Especially since he had obtained intermediate cultivation techniques and intermediate immortal arts this time—if these things were placed next door, they would definitely be no lower than heaven-tier techniques!
In fact, Gu Zhi was not the only one who had received powerful cultivation techniques. Liu Erlong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other beauties had also obtained several tremendously powerful techniques, whose might was enough to rival Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring skills.
"Nothing else to do, so let's take a look."
Liu Erlong flipped through the cultivation techniques she had received while preparing to discuss them with Gu Zhi. Then she noticed that Gu Zhi's expression had suddenly turned strange.
"What the hell! Who puts dual cultivation techniques in the rewards? Gu Zhi, is your system even legitimate?"
"Can we talk about how subtle this is? I thought Ultimate Fire was already unrivaled in the world! Who knew there was an even greater master!"
"Holy crap! All five intermediate techniques are for dual cultivation! Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd wandered onto the wrong site!"
"Are you kidding me? How could just a 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!"
"Bro, are you really treating Gu Zhi like a production team donkey? You actually want 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 been so strange. She had not expected that they had all received legitimate cultivation techniques, while Gu Zhi's side had produced such a spectacle.
"Ahem! Let's talk after we get back."
Fortunately, the techniques had been transmitted directly into his mind. If they had come in written form and he had pulled them out, Gu Zhi would have died of embarrassment on the spot!
Unfortunately, the five intermediate immortal arts he had received needed Law Power to be used. Otherwise, Gu Zhi could have passed them off as cultivation techniques instead...
Still, even though Gu Zhi did not bring out those five dual cultivation techniques, every beauty in Douluo Continent who was watching the bullet comments now knew about them.
As the bullet comments thoroughly analyzed the benefits of the five dual cultivation techniques, the minds of beauties like Tang Yuehua grew even more active...
"This system is so improper! But... is there really a way to improve one's cultivation like that..."
As Xiao Wu watched the bullet comments make all sorts of improper remarks, she was both embarrassed and annoyed while involuntarily letting her imagination run wild. Her face reddened so much that she was nearly steaming.
"We finally made it through!"
Only when Ning Rongrong spoke did Xiao Wu notice that they had finished absorbing the Foundation Establishment Pill's medicinal power. They were about to use the God-given Spirit Rings to obtain their third Soul Rings.
"Did we miss something?"
The moment Meng Yiran opened her eyes, she saw the bullet comments flooding the screen. She then devoted a bit of attention to figuring out what had happened. Her eyes shifted, and it was obvious that she had come up with some mischievous idea.
"So it can work like that..."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also blushed furiously as they read. These matters were still rather stimulating to them. Yet neither of them avoided the subject, looking exactly like the bullet comments' suspicious act of placing their hands beneath the blankets...
"Focus! You still need to absorb your Soul Rings!"
Seeing things veer off course, Xiao Wu hurriedly made them put their minds back on the important matter.
Zhu Zhuqing and the other two exchanged glances before quickly looking away. It took them quite a while to clear the filth from their minds before taking out the God-given Spirit Rings and beginning to absorb them.
"They've finally started! Go, Baby Zhuqing! Get yourself a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
"They're only getting their third Soul Rings! Isn't jumping straight to Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings a bit ridiculous?"
"Logically speaking, it's fine as long as their physiques and spiritual power can keep up! Didn't Tang San break the Master's theory because his physique was strong?"
"That's 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 limit for three rings is a little over four thousand years! With Zhu Zhuqing and the others' current physiques, doubling that limit shouldn't 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 if I tell you! Four perfectly matched Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!"
"That's 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 he can endure them, even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings are possible!"
The bullet comments had once again exposed Gu Zhi's secrets. Even Tang San in the original story 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 of his Soul Rings become Hundred Thousand Year level?
