Du Busi's test! Four black rings, and you call him a Soul Ancestor?

"Junior Luo Feng pays his respects to Lord Du Busi!"

Looking at the green-toned, muscular man before him.

Luo Feng carried himself without servility or arrogance.

Meanwhile, Nan Shuishui walked over with her daughter.

She gracefully bowed to this senior.

"Nan Shuishui, sect master of the Earth Dragon Sect, pays her respects, Senior!"

Seeing how courteous she was.

Du Busi was all smiles as well.

"Hehe, your Earth Dragon Sect is quite something!"

"My disciple Long Aotian came here for a match before, and lost without even understanding why. So I wanted to see just what secret weapon you have!"

After nodding to Nan Shuishui.

The aura of the level 98 Peak Douluo before them slowly seeped out.

Instantly, everyone present, including Nan Shuishui, felt their breathing grow strained!

Hum!

Roar!

Almost simultaneously.

Several disciples with weaker cultivation had their martial souls spring out involuntarily.

Even their soul rings unfolded against their will.

All to resist this sudden pressure!

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Feeling the pressure he exerted.

Nan Qiuqiu was somewhat at a loss.

Du Busi was simply too powerful.

Even she, the Earth Dragon Sect's senior sister, could not withstand it.

Seeing how much her fellow disciples were suffering.

Nan Qiuqiu raised her foot and gave Luo Feng a light kick.

"Since Senior wants to test your strength, stop hiding it!"

As soon as she said that.

Nan Qiuqiu herself grew curious.

This junior brother of hers had always been lazy and laid-back.

Apart from showing his martial soul when he first joined.

Nan Qiuqiu had never actually seen him release all his soul rings.

"Hey, aren't I supposed to be our secret weapon?"

"We haven't even entered the Soul Master Tournament yet, and you want me to reveal my strength already?"

Compared with his senior sister and the other disciples beside him.

Luo Feng did not seem to be suffering nearly as much.

Even though the senior before him had singled him out.

They still had not seen the boy release his soul rings!

"Feng, Qiuqiu is right. Release your soul rings and let Senior examine them. It won't do you any harm!"

Perhaps afraid of offending Du Busi.

Nan Shuishui urged him from the side as well.

Hearing this, Luo Feng could not help frowning.

"All right!"

"Since Senior wants to see, I'll show what little ability I have!"

Hum!

The next moment, an incredible fluctuation of soul power rippled out beneath Luo Feng's feet.

His first soul ring was black.

Not a pale black, but as black as ink.

This meant the soul ring was over thirty thousand years old!

"What?"

"A black first soul ring!"

Du Busi might have appeared perfectly composed on the surface.

But once Luo Feng's first soul ring emerged.

The old senior's heart skipped a beat.

As though he had seen something extraordinary!

Yet what came next was even more astonishing.

Hum, hum, hum!

Three more soul rings appeared in succession, all black.

Each was darker than the last.

The fourth soul ring had even reached an age of around eighty-five thousand years.

Although Luo Feng was only a level 45 Soul Ancestor at the time.

After seeing those four entirely black soul rings.

No one present could look down on him anymore.

Four ten thousand year soul rings.

Nineteen years of age.

And a mysterious teleportation skill to boot.

"Incredible. No wonder my disciple lost!"

"There's no shame in losing to an opponent like this!"

To earn such praise from Du Busi.

Few people on the entire Douluo Continent could manage it.

But the senior had not yet noticed.

The expressions of Nan Shuishui and her daughter Nan Qiuqiu beside him were even more exaggerated.

Especially Nan Qiuqiu.

She repeatedly compared the soul rings beneath her feet with Luo Feng's.

Her astonished expression rivaled Columbus discovering a new continent!

"You little rascal! No wonder you never let me see your soul rings. So that's how it is!"

The next moment, the young sect mistress seemed to forget they even had an honored guest.

Her little pink fist knocked straight against Luo Feng's forehead!

"Ow, ow, ow!"

"Senior Sister, go easy!"

"I'm already not very smart. One punch from you, and my IQ plummets!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing Luo Feng's words.

Sect Master Nan Shuishui could not help laughing.

But she quickly forced the expression off her face.

Who could have imagined it!

The "orphan" she had casually picked up off the street that day had turned out to be such a piece of uncut jade.

"These soul rings all seem to come from dragon-type soul beasts. What species were they?"

As the saying went, amateurs watched the spectacle, while experts saw the workings.

After his initial shock.

Du Busi soon noticed another issue.

As far as he knew.

The strongest soul beasts on the Douluo Continent were all concentrated in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The ferocious beasts there would never allow outsiders to hunt high-level soul beasts at will.

And within the territories of the Three Great Empires, he had never heard of any place with a mighty dragon-type soul beast over eighty thousand years old.

Then where had this boy's soul rings come from?

"That's right, you little scoundrel!"

"You actually went sneaking off to hunt high-level soul beasts behind your senior sister's back!"

This seemed like a hole in his story that would be difficult to explain away.

Surely I can't tell them I have a system?

But just as Luo Feng was starting to get a headache.

Du Busi laughed again beside him.

"Hahaha, I shouldn't have asked!"

"This boy belongs to your Earth Dragon Sect, after all. I have no intention of prying into your core secrets!"

Du Busi had, after all, lived for two hundred years.

He understood the ways of the world better than most.

Clearly, he had misunderstood as well.

He thought Luo Feng was a core disciple the Earth Dragon Sect had kept hidden.

If he truly insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

That would be tantamount to demanding that the Earth Dragon Sect surrender its most fundamental secrets.

That was not how an ally should behave.

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior!"

"To tell you the truth, Luo Feng is my daughter's fiancé!"

"And he is also the team leader who will lead our Earth Dragon Sect into this Soul Master Tournament!"

Although Nan Shuishui was equally bewildered.

She was, after all, the sect master.

Compared with her daughter, who had little experience of the world, Nan Shuishui possessed at least some shrewdness.

Since Du Busi had already put it that way.

There was no need to delve into the details.

As long as they could keep Luo Feng in the sect, he would be the Earth Dragon Sect's greatest reserve of strength.

"Hahaha, so he's your Earth Dragon Sect's prized son-in-law! That explains it!"

"I came in a hurry today and didn't bring much in the way of gifts, so let me offer a small token of goodwill!"

As Du Busi finished speaking.

The attendants behind him immediately brought out chest after chest of treasures, along with some cultivation scrolls.

These were all precious items that could only be found by chance on the market, never sought out at will.

"Senior Du Busi, how could we possibly accept this?"

She gave the valuables on the ground a cursory look.

They were worth almost five years of the Earth Dragon Sect's income.

Nan Shuishui immediately looked somewhat flustered.

But before she could decline, Du Busi waved his hand!

"This is also my contribution toward nurturing the empire's younger generation. You must cultivate this young Luo Feng well!"

It was clear.

Du Busi thought very highly of Luo Feng now.

He even wanted to take him as his disciple.

Unfortunately, the boy had a Dragon Martial Soul, not a body martial soul.

Otherwise, Long Aotian's position would have been in jeopardy!

Seeing his fiancée and mother-in-law still hesitating.

Luo Feng could no longer sit still.

He stepped forward and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. On behalf of our sect master, I thank you for your generosity!"

"Hahaha, don't mention it!"

"And let me wish your Earth Dragon Sect a stunning debut in this Elite Soul Master Tournament!"
