I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Chapter 201 Ye Lingling Breaks Through to the Soul Emperor Realm
The nine-colored goddess unconsciously rubbed the hem of her robe with her fingertips, the unique power of the laws of the divine realm faintly appearing around her, finally turning into a soft sigh: "Wait."

With her eyebrows lowered, she looked at the nine-colored immortal vines that had grown on the ground since her arrival. Suddenly, the vines twisted and intertwined, outlining Ye Lingling's face in the soil.

“A person who can leave a mark on the God of Asura should not be bound by worldly traditions. Here’s what we’ll do: after the competition ends, I will personally test Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong. If your disciple can prove her potential, I can allow her to form her own lineage, which can coexist with the God of Food’s tradition.”

Lin Yuan remained calm, paused slightly in his wine gourd, and glanced sideways at the nine-colored goddess behind him.

The Nine-Colored Goddess's move seemed like a concession, but it actually concealed a hidden secret. The succession of divine positions in the divine realm has always followed the rule of "one god, one lineage," yet she was willing to break the rules for Ye Lingling.
Before he could speak, the Nine-Colored Goddess raised her hand to interrupt: "If Ye Lingling can withstand my ninefold divine test, she will not only receive guidance from a self-created deity, but I will also bestow upon her the 'Fragment of the Laws of Life,' a treasure of the divine realm. But there will be a price for failure."

The goddess's body temperature plummeted, and then a strong killing intent appeared on her face: "Even if you become the guardian of my divine position, you will give your life for the remaining god-level powerhouses."

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. The wine gourd spun gently on his fingertips, emanating a faint golden halo.

"Hehehe." Lin Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "The Nine-Colored Goddess has certainly made a good plan. However, this bet is a bit too unfair."

The Nine-Colored Goddess's eyes flickered slightly, and the Nine-Colored Immortal Vine silently spread beneath her feet, filling the air with a faint floral fragrance.

"There's no other way. These are the rules that god-level powerhouses need to set. Whether it's the Asura God or the Sea God, they all have their own guardians, and most of these guardians are unable to accept god-level powerhouses. Just like the significance of the three peerless Douluo now, it's the emergence of the next generation of powerhouses."

Lin Yuan naturally knew that whether it was Poseidon, Qian Daoliu, or Tang Chen, they were all losers.

Unable to obtain their own deity, they could only guard the local deity, searching for a destined one, and ultimately sacrificing their lives.

Lin Yuan put one hand behind his back and said, "In that case, please grant Lingling a divine soul ring, senior."

In the Douluo Continent setting, divinely bestowed spirit rings are extremely special and powerful, directly granted by gods, and contain energy and potential far exceeding that of ordinary spirit rings.

Ordinary spirit rings are limited by the spirit master's ability to withstand them and the lifespan of spirit beasts in nature, while divine spirit rings are not bound by conventional lifespans and can be absorbed by the spirit master.

Its strength will be determined by the Soul Master's own strength, potential, and compatibility with the deity, generating Soul Rings of corresponding age. Theoretically, it can reach the million-year level, providing the Soul Master with powerful attribute bonuses and Soul Skills.

The divinely bestowed soul ring does not have fixed attributes. It generates the most suitable attributes and soul skills for the soul master based on the soul master's martial soul characteristics, class positioning, and personal traits.

For example, a divinely bestowed soul ring obtained by a support-type martial soul will enhance its support effect, while a power-attack-type martial soul will gain more powerful attack-type soul skills.

If a Soul Master is not satisfied with the attributes or Soul Skills generated by a God-given Soul Ring, under certain conditions, they can choose to reshape the God-given Soul Ring and regenerate the attributes and Soul Skills.

However, the reshaping process carries risks and may cause a decrease in the strength of the spirit rings.

Because obtaining a divinely bestowed spirit ring depends on the will of the gods, very few spirit masters in the entire history of Douluo Continent have obtained one.

Possessing a divinely bestowed spirit ring not only signifies a significant boost to a spirit master's strength, but also symbolizes gaining the attention and recognition of the gods, granting them extremely high status and influence within the spirit master community. The Nine-Colored Goddess frowned slightly and said, "Ye Lingling hasn't even passed my test yet, and she wants to obtain a divinely bestowed spirit ring? Isn't that a bit too early?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "With your strength, bestowing a divine soul ring upon Ye Lingling would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it? Don't worry, if I ever break through to level 100 and become the next Asura God King, I will treat you with respect."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Colored Goddess raised her eyebrows slightly. Lin Yuan before her possessed exceptional talent, making him more than capable of becoming the Asura God King.

Moreover, if given enough room to grow in the future, he could very well become a God Emperor, let alone a God King.

After all, Lin Yuan's talent is definitely not like this. If he can really reach the God Emperor realm in the future, it will not only help him improve his cultivation, but also greatly benefit his wife and son.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Nine-Colored Goddess slowly said, "Alright, I promise you. As long as Ye Lingling breaks through to the Soul Emperor realm, I will bestow upon him a Divine Soul Ring. However, the lifespan of the Divine Soul Ring will be determined based on his own capacity. If he can withstand a 100,000-year Soul Ring, then I will naturally have nothing to say."

Lin Yuan smiled but said nothing.

After such a long period of training, Ye Lingling's endurance has reached an unparalleled level, which is why Lin Yuan sought out high-level disciples for her.

It is extremely difficult to withstand a divinely bestowed spirit ring, which takes several days. Moreover, depending on her own situation, Ye Lingling also needs to withstand the impact brought by the spirit ring.

Lin Yuan naturally agreed, and then quietly waited for his disciple to successfully break through to the level 60 Soul Emperor realm.

Ye Lingling was already at the Great Perfection of Level 59, and now breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm is just around the corner. She should be able to break through in less than three days.

Thus, he once again received the divine soul ring bestowed by the Nine-Colored Goddess.

Over the next few days, Ye Lingling focused on improving her martial spirit and soul power, and finally raised her cultivation to the Soul Emperor realm.

As Ye Lingling broke through to the Soul Emperor realm, Lin Yuan appeared before her.

"Teacher, I have broken through to the Soul Emperor realm."

Ye Lingling ran over happily, hugged Lin Yuan's neck and said, "Teacher, I should be the first student in Douluo Continent to break through to Soul Emperor, right?"

Neither the Spirit Hall nor Shrek Academy had the ability to break through to the Soul Emperor realm, while Ye Lingling's breakthrough this time had already achieved an absolute crushing level.

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then took Ye Lingling's hand and said, "Next, your teacher will take you to obtain your own exclusive spirit ring. However, this spirit ring has some special power that your teacher cannot help you with; you will have to rely on yourself."

"Lingling, no matter what, you must persevere. Even if your bones break, you cannot give up. This is the only way for you to grow into the strongest."
