Luofan Had Definitely Caught a Deity's Attention!

A moment later, Xue Qinghe received the news and hurried over to Luofan. His attention was immediately drawn to the purple Soul Ring on Luofan's Martial Soul.

"How is that possible?"

Xue Qinghe stepped closer to the Martial Soul, his eyes fixed on the exquisite pagoda.

Even seeing it with his own eyes, he could hardly believe it.

He had helped Luofan hunt the Soul Beast for his first Soul Ring. It had been a four-hundred-year-old Soul Beast, and he had watched Luofan absorb the ring himself.

Yet now it had become a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring?

"Luofan, how did your Soul Ring become a thousand-year ring?" Xue Qinghe asked, looking over at him.

"Your Highness, I don't know either. Its age just increased on its own!"

Luofan had no intention of telling anyone about his golden trait.

His position was simple: the age of his Soul Ring had increased, and there was no hiding that, so he might as well admit it!

But if anyone asked him why it had happened? He didn't know!

"Was your Martial Soul always like this?" Xue Qinghe asked, a flicker passing through his eyes.

"No. When it awakened, it was a Trash Martial Soul that had mutated for the worse. I also had zero Innate Soul Power, so I wasn't qualified to become a Soul Master!" Luofan shook his head.

That answer matched what Xue Qinghe had learned from his inquiries.

"Then how did your Martial Soul become like this? And how did you gain Innate Full Soul Power?" Xue Qinghe continued.

"I don't know!"

Luofan shook his head again, looking bewildered. "It just happened all of a sudden, for no reason. I felt my Martial Soul change, and then I had Innate Full Soul Power!"

Xue Qinghe did not suspect Luofan. He was only six. It was perfectly natural that he would not understand why his Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power had changed so drastically.

And now his Soul Ring had gone from a hundred-year ring to a Thousand-Year Level?

Something about this seemed familiar to Xue Qinghe.

"Luofan, whatever the reason, this isn't a bad thing. If you can't figure it out, don't dwell on it," Xue Qinghe said after a moment's silence.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Luofan nodded at once, plainly not one to torment himself over it.

"Luofan, we've known each other less than a month, but I feel we've been friends for years. Calling me 'Your Highness' makes us sound distant. From now on, call me Brother Xue," Xue Qinghe said, sounding dissatisfied with how Luofan addressed him.

"All right, Brother Xue!" Luofan nodded readily.

After showing Xue Qinghe that his Soul Ring had become a thousand-year ring, Luofan could clearly feel that Xue Qinghe valued him even more!

Before, Xue Qinghe had thought he had the potential to become a Titled Douluo and was worth cultivating!

Now, Xue Qinghe clearly wanted to cultivate him as a trusted confidant!

Luofan thought that suited him just fine!

Show enough value, and people would value you more. Simple as that!

"Why do you think Luofan's Soul Ring turned into a thousand-year ring on its own?" Xue Qinghe asked suddenly after Luofan left.

Porcupinefish Douluo emerged from the shadows. "I've only seen an account of a Soul Ring's age increasing in ancient texts!"

"Oh? What did they say?" Xue Qinghe raised an eyebrow.

"Legend says that Deity has left behind Divine Trial. Those who complete the Divine Trial receive rewards, and one possible reward is an increase in the age of their Soul Rings!" Porcupinefish Douluo replied.

"Yes, I've read the same thing in ancient texts." Xue Qinghe nodded, confirming that he shared Porcupinefish Douluo's view.

The age of a Soul Ring was fixed. Increasing it outright was clearly beyond mortal power!

"Your Highness, do you mean Luofan has undertaken a Divine Trial?"

Porcupinefish Douluo looked stunned by Xue Qinghe's reaction.

"A Divine Trial? I wouldn't go that far. But his hundred-year Soul Ring became a thousand-year ring. His badly mutated Trash Martial Soul became a Nine-Story Pagoda through a beneficial mutation, and his zero Innate Soul Power became Innate Full Soul Power. No mortal could have done all that!"

Xue Qinghe shook his head, then said thoughtfully, "So a Deity must be watching over Luofan!"

Luofan? A Deity was watching over him?

Porcupinefish Douluo was stunned by Xue Qinghe's conclusion.

Why would a Deity take an interest in a child like him?

Yet Porcupinefish Douluo could think of no reason to dispute it.

Indeed, without a Deity watching over Luofan and helping him in secret, what had happened to him was nearly impossible to explain.

Qian Renxue had always believed she was the greatest genius on the continent!

Why? Because the Angel God had watched over her since birth, and she was the only person on the continent born with level-twenty Soul Power.

Her grandfather had always told her that she was destined to inherit the Angel God's divine position!

But now? It was highly likely that Luofan, too, had caught a Deity's attention.

In Qian Renxue's eyes, Luofan was the only genius on the continent who could compare with her!

She had to keep such a talent firmly on her side. Perhaps one day they would meet in the Divine Realm.

Teacher, Teacher, even you can misjudge someone. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into a nine-story exquisite pagoda. If you knew the person you drove away could evolve his Martial Soul, what expression would you make?

Thinking of how Luofan's Nine-Story Golden Exquisite Pagoda had evolved from the seven-story Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and how it had gone from a purely support-type Martial Soul to one capable of attacking, Xue Qinghe's lips curved upward.

He rather looked forward to seeing regret on his teacher's face.

Then Xue Qinghe gave an order: all information about Luofan had to be kept under wraps.

Not only must the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect remain in the dark, but Bibi Dong must not learn of it through Spirit Hall either.

Little Brother Luofan was on his side now. Xue Qinghe would never allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to lure such a talent back.

And if that woman Bibi Dong tried to poach Luofan, Xue Qinghe would give her no chance.

"Suppress!"

Back in the small courtyard where he lived, Luofan focused on a huge rock. With a thought, he hurled the exquisite pagoda from his palm!

The pagoda swelled in the wind until it stood around three meters tall, then slammed down onto the rock!

Boom! The massive rock shattered into dozens of pieces!

"It's huge! As the Soul Ring's age increased, this Soul Skill's attack power went up too!"

Luofan did not even need to examine the shattered rock. The exquisite pagoda, which had previously grown to only two meters, now reached three. He nodded to himself!
