Inside a quiet room carved out of the cliffside above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a group led by Gu Xuan gathered together.
The members were as follows:
Gu Xuan. Martial Soul, Bone Dragon. Sixteen years old, Rank 61 Power Attack Type Soul Emperor.
Dugu Yan. Martial Soul, Ancestor. Twenty-one years old, Rank 60 Control Type Soul King. She only needed one soul ring to advance to Soul Emperor.
Ye Lingling. Martial Soul, Nine Heart Begonia. Nineteen years old, Rank 58 Healing Type Soul King.
Ning Rongrong. Martial Soul, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Fifteen years old, Rank 54 Auxiliary Type Soul King.
Ning Rongrong had broken through Rank 50 shortly after the Soul Master Tournament. After absorbing a soul ring beyond her level, she reached Rank 52. Now, half a year later, her soul power had reached Rank 55.
Ma Bao. Martial Soul, Blazing War Horse. Eighteen years old, Rank 56, Power Attack Type Soul King. Like Ning Rongrong, he broke through to Soul King after the tournament and reached Rank 52 after obtaining a soul ring beyond his level. Later, because he obtained a soul bone from Tang Hao, his soul power had now broken through to Rank 56.
Zhu Zhuqing. Martial Soul, Hell Spirit Cat. Fifteen years old, Rank 50 Agility Attack Type Soul Ancestor. She was just one soul ring away from breaking through Rank 50.
Li Li. Martial Soul, Man-Faced Demon Spider. Fifteen years old, Rank 50 Control Type Soul Ancestor. Similarly, she was just one soul ring away from breaking through Rank 50.
Zhan Yu. Martial Soul, Steadfast Shield. Eighteen years old, Rank 53 Defense Type Soul King.
Yang Pojun. Martial Soul, Soul Breaking Spear. Eighteen years old, Rank 54 Power Attack Type Soul King.
Zuo Yan. Martial Soul, Phoenix God's Wings. Seventeen years old, Rank 52 Power Attack Type Soul King.
This was their current rank. With their present strength and talent, they could already stand on equal footing with the Shrek Seven Devils from the original story. In the case of Gu Xuan and Ye Lingling, their talent was even superior.
Gu Xuan decided to first take Dugu Yan, Li Li, and Zhu Zhuqing to obtain their soul rings before beginning the next stage of their cultivation. He had already planned out the paths for the others.
Zuo Yan went without saying. Originally, they had planned for him to travel the continent with Shui Bing'er in a week's time. However, Gu Xuan changed the plan for them to wander the continent, as there wasn't much necessity for it. Although they rarely traveled the world, they actually understood plenty about the affairs of the continent, so there was no need to specifically do so.
This was because Gu Xuan planned to have them go to Sea God Island early for training. There was no need to wait several years like in the original story.
Yes, he intended for them to go alone. Gu Xuan could not always stand in front of them to block the wind and rain. If they wanted to be a help to Gu Xuan in the future, they had to personally experience hardships and difficulties. The journey to Sea God Island was undoubtedly the best choice, far better than simply wandering the continent.
As for the participants, Gu Xuan intended for everyone to go except for Dugu Yan, because he and Dugu Yan were going to another place. By the time Zhu Zhuqing and Li Li obtained their soul rings, the others would all be above Rank 50.
Since even a healing soul master like Ye Lingling was approaching Rank 60, now was undoubtedly the best time for them to face trials and obstacles.
Gu Xuan had thought about it for a long time and ultimately decided to send them to Sea God Island early. If Gu Xuan went as well, the training effect for them would definitely drop, as Gu Xuan's current strength was too terrifying. Even without counting the Life-and-Death Arena soul skill, the current Gu Xuan was capable of a one-on-one fight against a high-level Soul Douluo.
Therefore, Gu Xuan did not plan to act with them. Instead, he intended to act alone with Dugu Yan, who was about to break through to Soul Emperor.
When Gu Xuan shared his thoughts with the group, the expressions of Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Li Li, and Zhu Zhuqing all changed simultaneously.
"Brother Gu Xuan, are you trying to elope with Big Sister?" Ning Rongrong put on a cute and innocent look as she issued a cold interrogation to Gu Xuan.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's question, the other three girls stared at Gu Xuan seriously, as if waiting to see if that was truly what he was thinking.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, had a face full of smiles. According to Gu Xuan's plan, she would have Gu Xuan all to herself for the foreseeable future. She might even be able to have a baby with him.
Gu Xuan's face turned dark upon hearing this, but he had long prepared a way to handle this question.
"Only you would be so clever." Gu Xuan stepped forward and gave Ning Rongrong a flick on the forehead, then said. "Rest assured, you are all my fiancées. I will not favor one over the other. Before marriage, I will certainly exercise self-restraint. Are you satisfied with that?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong and the other four girls nodded in satisfaction. Gu Xuan's cultivation plan for them was indeed very beneficial, so they had no reason to refuse. Now that they had Gu Xuan's guarantee that Dugu Yan would not be able to enjoy him exclusively, they had no reason to be dissatisfied.
Dugu Yan, however, was full of displeasure. What did he mean by exercising self-restraint before marriage? Why didn't he say that when he was kissing her, or when he was being touchy-feely? Now she was twenty-one years old and hadn't even tasted the sweetness of love yet, and he tells her this?
At this moment, Dugu Yan said nothing on the surface, but her mind was already calculating how to poison Gu Xuan and simply cook the raw rice into a meal. However, she quickly felt discouraged, as that method was completely impossible to implement. Since Gu Xuan completed the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, he was immune to all poisons. Her toxins had no effect on him!
After soothing his fiancées' moods, Gu Xuan continued. "When the time comes, Zuo Yan, you go and pick up Shui Bing'er. Strive to integrate her into our group in the future. We can also consider offering some protection to Skywater Academy."
Zuo Yan nodded gratefully to Gu Xuan. Although his relationship with Shui Bing'er had only lasted for about half a year, he truly loved this girl, so he naturally wanted to bring her along to improve together.
Then Gu Xuan looked at Ning Rongrong and said solemnly. "Rongrong, you are the young clan leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. You cannot be willful anymore. You must think twice before acting. Do you understand?"
Facing Gu Xuan's sudden solemnity, Ning Rongrong was a bit unaccustomed, but she still nodded and answered seriously. "I understand, Brother Gu Xuan. In the future, Rongrong will definitely not hold you back."
Although Ning Rongrong was only fifteen, she had grown up following Gu Xuan from a young age. Her thinking and ideas were more mature than those of her peers. When she followed Gu Xuan, she was a delicate little girl, but away from him, she was a noble little princess. This princess was not the arrogant or willful type, but one with independent opinions and the ability for self-judgment.
Then Gu Xuan pulled Ning Rongrong in front of him. At this moment, Ning Rongrong was only as tall as Gu Xuan's chest. She looked up at Gu Xuan's peerlessly handsome face, her little heart thumping. Seeing Gu Xuan's new look today, Ning Rongrong instinctively wanted to kiss him, but since her sisters were all there, she was a bit embarrassed.
Now that she was pulled forward by Gu Xuan, Ning Rongrong didn't know exactly what he was going to do.
