Chapter 56: Life God King's First Trial Completed, God King Affinity
"Is this the feeling of a Soul King? My entire body's strength has undergone a qualitative leap, and I even possess two such powerful Spirit Abilities!" Chu Chen stood up, and his fifth Soul Ring bloomed.
He signaled Dugu Bo to attack him. Dugu Bo did not hesitate, waving his large hand as he launched an attack toward Chu Chen.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Void." Chu Chen's body instantly turned into a void, intangible. Even his figure became so blurred that it was hard to see clearly, and Dugu Bo passed straight through Chu Chen's body.
"What the hell?" Dugu Bo stared at Chu Chen in astonishment, then reached out to touch him, still feeling no sensation of touching a solid entity.
"An intangibility skill? Is this rabbit's ability actually this perverted? What is your ten-thousand-year Soul Ring's second Soul Skill?" Dugu Bo pressed.
"It is a type of mental attack, called Mental Shock." Chu Chen explained. Originally, after Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to Tang San, the second skill should have been the Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop performed by Xiao Wu's Soul, but now, he had killed Xiao Wu directly.
Therefore, there was no such thing as Xiao Wu's Soul. Consequently, the Soul Skill had also changed, evolving from Xiao Wu's own Charm ability; after all, Charm is also a form of mental attack.
And when such an ability came to Chu Chen, it transformed into a Soul Skill like Mental Shock!
"Not bad, this rabbit's Soul Ring not only bestowed upon you this arguably invincible intangibility ability, but even a mental attack."
"By the way, what about the Soul Bone ability? And what level is your Soul Power at now?"
Facing Dugu Bo's question, Chu Chen sensed his current Soul Power and replied: "It should be at the fifty-fifth level, and this Soul Bone's skill is..."
The next moment, Chu Chen vanished from where he stood. He Teleported directly behind Dugu Bo, and amidst the latter's astonished gaze, Chu Chen signaled Dugu Bo to attack him with his full strength without holding back.
"Are you... sure?" Dugu Bo hesitated slightly. "Stop talking nonsense; hesitation makes you my grandson." Chu Chen deliberately provoked Dugu Bo.
"You brat, I'll f** your f**ing..." Dugu Bo shouted, his majestic Soul Power erupting into a terrifying attack. This strike would have instantly killed an ordinary Soul Douluo, yet Chu Chen did not dodge at all, his whole body blooming with golden light.
"Paragon Golden Body!" Chu Chen withstood Dugu Bo's attack head-on, remaining completely unharmed.
Dugu Bo stared at Chu Chen with an expression of having seen a ghost. Good heavens, this is so overpowered? Is this brat truly trying to be Heaven-Defying?
"These are my Soul Bone skills: Teleportation and Paragon Golden Body. They can be used three times a day, providing absolute immunity to attacks below the Divine Rank." Chu Chen flashed a smug expression at Dugu Bo.
"What a monster." After muttering this, Dugu Bo sat down with Chu Chen at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and they chatted together.
Just as Chu Chen had settled down, the gentle, divinity-filled voice of the Goddess of Life resounded in his mind: "Chu Chen, you have completed the first trial of the Life God King's assessment. God King affinity increased by 5%, and the second Soul Ring's age has increased by one thousand years."
"The second trial of the Life God King's Legacy has descended: Within one year, comprehend the Blue Silver Domain and complete its evolution."
His second Soul Ring had completed its transformation, its age increasing from the previous four thousand years to five thousand years, and his God King affinity had also reached 5%!
"Is this the feeling of a Divine Trial? Just that instantaneous feeling of the Soul Ring leveling up made me feel refreshed..." Chu Chen silently thought to himself. It seemed he needed to complete the Life God King's assessment before he could proceed with the Destruction God King's assessment, but... what if these two needed to be done simultaneously? The pressure on him would indeed be quite significant.
"By the way, Old Poison, has everything been alright at the academy during this time?" Chu Chen asked with concern.
"Yaner said that the girl from the Ye family is absent-minded every day; she is likely hoping for your return." Dugu Bo smiled strangely: "What do you think of my granddaughter? She's a pure maiden, and she has also inherited my fine genes, with an outstanding appearance."
Chu Chen: "..." "Other grandfathers treat their granddaughters like the apple of their eye, wanting to twist off the head of any male who makes contact, but you, on the other hand, are pushing your granddaughter away."
To this, Dugu Bo laughed: "I am investing in my own future. With your Heaven-Defying talent, I fear it won't be long before you become a Titled Douluo, and by then, I will have a backer."
"You old thing..." Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh as well. Amidst their laughter, the two downed a mouthful of strong liquor, and for some reason, they ended up getting drunk right there, sleeping until they woke up naturally.
After successfully breaking through to become a Soul King, Chu Chen planned to return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first, so Dugu Bo followed closely with him, and the two returned to Heaven Dou City together.
Fortunately, Tang Hao, whom Dugu Bo had been worried about, did not appear. "I was originally worried about whether that Tang Hao would keep hiding in the shadows, waiting to kill Chu Chen, but now it seems... that guy was seriously injured."
Dugu Bo was also curious about which faction's powerhouse was helping Chu Chen from behind the scenes. After all, this Heaven Dou Empire had no Titled Douluo.
And that night, there were clearly two Titled Douluo present helping Chu Chen. Factions possessing two Titled Douluo were not numerous; even among the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only had two. And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only had one!
And before the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates, the world only knew of two, although it could be said that over so many years, there should be more.
"The strength Chu Chen is utilizing shouldn't be from the two great Empires, nor the Upper Three Sects... Could it be... Spirit Hall?" Dugu Bo felt his speculation was not without reason.
He wasn't doubting Chu Chen, just curious in his heart how Chu Chen had such a good relationship with Spirit Hall, or perhaps, was it some other faction besides Spirit Hall?
"This brat is hiding very deep, fortunately, this old man has a sharp eye and has acted as an angel investor for once." Dugu Bo felt immensely gratified.
He felt that perhaps it wouldn't be long before he no longer needed to worry about Tang Hao, because Chu Chen might soon be fearless of Tang Hao. By then, he, Dugu Bo, would be able to boast everywhere he went: "Chu Chen is my brother, who dares to touch me?"
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Chu Chen returned here after more than half a month. He soon met the members of the Huangdou Team, but Teacher Qin Ming was no longer here; he had gone to Shrek.
During that night's battle, he didn't know why he hadn't seen Teacher Qin Ming; perhaps he was away from the academy for some matter. "Forget it, I have no hostility toward Teacher Qin Ming, even though we now stand in vaguely opposing positions." Chu Chen thought helplessly.
At this moment, he saw a beautiful figure watching him from ahead. Ye Lingling was dressed in white, and the veil that had always accompanied her had been removed. She smiled slightly, charming as a spring breeze, the waves in her pupils seemingly reflecting the stars, as she quietly gazed at him.
