Chapter 9 Kong Deming: My grandson has the potential to become a god!
"A divinely bestowed soul ring?!"
Kong Deming's pupils contracted slightly, and he muttered those four words, his heart filled with utter shock.
It seems that the entire world's fortune is concentrated on the Douluo Continent, so much so that no one in the history of the Sun Moon Continent has become a god, and therefore there are naturally no legends of becoming a god.
However, after the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent came into contact, legends about gods also spread over.
Kong Deming was naturally aware of the so-called "divinely bestowed soul ring".
However, this term is not commonly used by ordinary people.
Therefore, Kong Deming had no doubt at this moment that this was just a fabricated story made up by Kong Xuan to deceive him.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and didn't even have the mind to continue checking Kong Xuan's physical data.
Approaching Kong Xuan, he asked with a serious expression, "Xuan'er, you said this is a divinely bestowed soul ring?"
Kong Deming did not doubt Kong Xuan's words, but this divinely bestowed soul ring was clearly less than five hundred years old, which seemed to be a disgrace to the identity of "god".
Kong Xuan wasn't really a six-year-old child; he had already guessed Kong Deming's doubts.
He nodded, his expression serious, and said, "Yes, Grandpa, and as my soul power increases, the age of my soul rings will also increase."
"hiss!"
Kong Deming gasped. Although Kong Xuan's words were bizarre, only in this way could the name "divinely bestowed soul ring" be justified!
Kong Deming's mind was in a mess. After a long while, he asked again, "Xuan'er, what deity bestowed this divine soul ring upon you? And how did you encounter this deity?"
According to news from Douluo Three Kingdoms, one should participate in the Divine Trial to obtain a God-given Soul Ring.
Kong Deming knew Kong Xuan's life trajectory very well; there shouldn't have been any way for him to contact the gods.
"I don't know what kind of deity it was. It appeared in my mind on the night I awakened my martial soul, and then I got my first soul ring."
At this point, Kong Xuan could take advantage of his age, because he was young and could gloss over many things with vague answers.
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Kong Deming's face. It seemed that Kong Xuan had not obtained the legendary divine test.
However, Kong Xuan's next words made him excited again.
"However, He said that He would appear again when my soul power breaks through to level 20, help me condense my second soul ring, and after I grow into a titled Douluo, I will be able to obtain His inheritance."
Kong Deming's sliver of hope had now become a reality thanks to Kong Xuan's words, and it could even be said that the task had been exceeded.
Originally, I only hoped to gain a little favor from the gods, but I never expected that I would receive the gods' inheritance in the future.
What's this?
This is the path to godhood!
As long as Kong Xuan grows up smoothly, he has a high chance of becoming a god, just like Tang San, the Sea God and ancestor of Shrek Academy!
A god is about to emerge from the Kong family!
A god is about to emerge in the Sun and Moon Empire!
Kong Deming's breathing became noticeably heavier, and his gaze towards Kong Xuan became intense.
At this moment, Yun Ming was watching the show unfold in Kong Xuan's spiritual sea.
Then his slightly teasing voice came out: "Looks like you've already thought of these excuses."
Facing this teacher who knew him very well, Kong Xuan's answer was much more sincere: "There's nothing we can do about it. The divine gift of a soul ring is the most appropriate explanation."
Yun Ming laughed and said, "Then you could say that you've elevated my status."
Kong Xuan replied, "Teacher, even a quasi-god is still a god."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, that makes sense."
"With your top-grade weapon spirit, Xuan'er, plus your innate full spirit power, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's a sure thing that you'll grow into a Title Douluo in the future!"
Kong Deming looked serious and narrowed his eyes, saying, "With Grandpa here, I'll make sure your path to becoming a Title Douluo is unobstructed!"
He has now made up his mind to raise the "protection measures" for Kong Xuan to the highest level.
Kong Xuan nodded solemnly at Kong Deming's promise: "I also believe that I can become a Title Douluo in the future."
He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
Revealing the story of the divinely bestowed soul ring was not just an explanation, but also a way to gain more attention.
Since coming into this world, Kong Xuan has never felt secure, and even after becoming Kong Deming's grandson, he still feels something is missing.
Now, in Kong Deming's eyes, Kong Xuan is a future god!
Kong Xuan's importance in his heart suddenly rose to an unexpected level.
Thus, Kong Xuan had achieved both of his objectives.
The surprise of receiving a divinely bestowed soul ring filled Kong Deming with joy, but being over 150 years old, he naturally wouldn't show his joy like a young man, and quickly regained his usual composure.
His purpose today was to test Kong Xuan and Kong Ling's physical data, something he hadn't forgotten.
Kong Xuan left the testing soul tool, and Kong Ling followed suit and stood on it.
Soon, a series of data points appeared before Kong Deming's eyes.
"Physical strength level nine."
"Physical resilience level eight".
"Soul power fluctuation level ten."
"Mental fluctuation level twelve."
...
Kong Ling and Kong Xuan grew up in a small mountain village, where they were lucky to have enough to eat, let alone get proper nutrition.
So even though both of them were born with full soul power, their physical abilities were somewhat lacking compared to their soul power levels.
However, when he saw that Kong Ling's mental fluctuations had reached level twelve, a smile involuntarily appeared on Kong Deming's face.
Some talents cannot be influenced by external circumstances.
"Accommodation with spirit rings, 384 years."
The last piece of data is clearly the maximum age at which Kong Ling can currently acquire a Soul Ring.
The data displayed by the soul tool test may not be accurate, but it is definitely a reliable reference to a certain extent.
After Kong Ling stepped off the soul tool, Kong Deming said to the two of them, "The most important thing for you next is to improve your physical fitness."
He then looked specifically at Kong Ling: "Especially Ling'er, only after your physique becomes stronger can you fuse with a higher-age soul ring. The goal I've set for you is six hundred years for your first soul ring!"
In fact, Kong Deming originally set a goal of 550 years for Kong Ling's first soul ring, but after being "baptized" by the divinely bestowed soul ring, he felt that he could be a little bolder.
Kong Ling has never had any opinions of her own, and she accepted Kong Deming's arrangements completely, nodding her head. In fact, she still doesn't understand what six hundred years means for her first soul ring.
"Grandpa, actually, Ling'er has a secret that only the two of us know."
Kong Xuan suddenly interjected, attracting Kong Deming's attention.
He could already imagine the shocked expression on Kong Deming's face after hearing his next words.
Therefore, Kong Xuan was filled with anticipation before he spoke.
"Grandpa, actually Ling'er has another martial soul!"
