Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 284 The Asura God departs, and returns to Seagod Island

After a long while, the Asura God left, cursing and swearing.

Gu Xuan understood what the Asura God meant, but he also had his own considerations.

Finally, Gu Xuan obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring for Dugu Yan from the Asura God, since Dugu Yan was already level 80 and had not yet acquired a soul ring.

However, according to the Asura God's will, in addition to Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan, there are now two more young people who have inherited his God of Slaughter Domain.

Moreover, one of the two young men was a talented boy. Gu Xuan guessed that the boy should be Tang San, since apart from Tang San, it was highly unlikely that anyone else would go to the City of Slaughter during this period.

What surprised Gu Xuan was that Tang San, who no longer had as many opportunities, was still able to escape from the City of Slaughter.

Well, now that I and Dugu Yan have killed the Three-Headed Dark Gold Bat King and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, the difficulty of Hell Road should have been reduced considerably. It was expected that Tang San and Hu Liena would be able to get out.

Is Tang San getting involved with Hu Liena again? And is he using the alias Tang Yin, just like in the original story?

Gu Xuan then shook his head and stopped thinking about the question. After all, with his current strength, Tang San was no longer important.

Now, if Gu Xuan wanted to, he could easily kill Tang San. Of course, the prerequisite is finding him.

With the matter of the Asura God settled, Gu Xuan headed towards Seagod Island. Having been there once before, Gu Xuan had already left spatial coordinates there, so the time passing was very short.

Moreover, with Gu Xuan's current strength, it's almost as if he could reach Seagod Island with just a thought.

Nine dazzling spirit rings rose from Gu Xuan's body: two yellow, one purple, two black, and four red. The moment the spirit rings appeared, the entire sea seemed to freeze. The dark fourth spirit ring lit up, and a spatial gate appeared in front of Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan stepped inside, and the next moment, the spatial gate appeared on the island of Seahorse Douluo on Seagod Island.

When Gu Xuan walked out, he saw the Seahorse Douluo looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Senior, we meet again." Gu Xuan bowed slightly to Seahorse Douluo and smiled.

Seahorse Douluo looked at Gu Xuan with suspicion and uncertainty. After two years, he could no longer see through Gu Xuan at all.

Moreover, that spatial manipulation technique he just used was enough to astonish Seahorse Douluo.

"Gu Xuan? Are you here to see Lady Ning Rongrong?" Seahorse Douluo lowered his guard and asked.

Gu Xuan nodded: "Come and see Rongrong and the others."

Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo's expression turned somewhat helpless: "You're too late. The adult's assessment has entered a crucial stage, and you probably won't be able to see her now. However…"

Just as Seahorse Douluo was speaking, a powerful thought swept over them, clearly entering their minds: "Gu Xuan, come to the Sea God Temple."

The voice was very pleasant, giving one a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze, but Gu Xuan was completely unfamiliar with it; it was the first time he had heard it.

However, on Seagod Island, there is clearly only one person with such strength: Poseidon, the High Priestess, a peerless Douluo of level ninety-nine.

Upon hearing Poseidon's telepathic message, Gu Xuan smiled slightly at Seahorse Douluo: "Senior, this junior will not keep you company any longer."

Seahorse Douluo nodded. He was now certain that Gu Xuan's strength had surpassed his own, but he did not sense any pride or arrogance from Gu Xuan.

He possessed only composure and an indescribable aura. When facing Gu Xuan, he felt that the other's words were absolutely true and beyond question.

The distance between the various islands of Poseidon Island was much shorter than the distance Gu Xuan had just traveled from the Demon Whale Sea, so Gu Xuan didn't need to use any skills at all.

He stepped out slowly, and the next moment, Gu Xuan's figure disappeared through absolute control of spatial power. When Gu Xuan reappeared, he had already arrived on the huge circular platform outside the Sea God Temple.

Gu Xuan stood at the edge of the circular platform. In the center of the platform stood a woman of unparalleled beauty. She was tall and voluptuous, and her looks were on par with Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan. She held a two-meter-long scepter in her hand, exuding an aura of majesty.

Upon seeing this person, even if it was the first time he had met him, Gu Xuan knew who this person was. Who else could it be but the High Priest Poseidon?

"Junior Gu Xuan greets the High Priest," Gu Xuan said, bowing slightly to Poseidon.

Poseidon looked Gu Xuan up and down, then nodded: "No need to be polite. Rongrong has a good eye. According to him, you should only be twenty years old this year, but your strength is already no weaker than mine. It seems that my worries were indeed unnecessary."

Gu Xuan was still a little confused when he heard Poseidon's words, but he could also hear the care and love she showed for Ning Rongrong in her words.

"High Priest, you flatter me. I have simply had a few more opportunities than ordinary people," Gu Xuan replied with a smile.

"Opportunity is also part of strength. To achieve such things at your age, even the most dazzling man of my time couldn't compare to you. To have Rongrong willingly marry you alongside other women—you truly have the talent." Poseidon turned and walked into the Temple of Poseidon, saying this as she did so.

"Come on, your companions are all inside."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan slowly followed Poseidon's steps and entered the Temple of the Sea God.

It must be said that the Temple of Poseidon, as the place where the sea god passed on his legacy, is quite impressive in scale. Most of the various rare treasures here are simply arranged as part of the landscape for aesthetic purposes.

Gu Xuan saw more than ten pieces of rare, millennia-old whale glue.

"I really want to take all of these things with me," Gu Xuan thought with a burning desire.

Upon entering the Temple of Poseidon, Gu Xuan followed Poseidon to a central room of fifty square meters. Ye Lingling, Ma Bao, and the others were there, and they were all overjoyed to see Gu Xuan.

"Ancient Mystery!"

"Brother Gu Xuan!"

"Boss..."

.........

Ye Lingling, Li Li, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xue Ke rushed directly towards Gu Xuan, completely ignoring Poseidon standing to the side.

After enjoying the bliss of married life for a day and a night, they were separated for two years. Heaven knows how deep their longing for Gu Xuan was during those two years.

Seeing Gu Xuan now, the girls couldn't help but squeeze their round thighs together, the memory of that night two years ago still fresh in their minds.

Gu Xuan embraced the women and said softly, "You've all had a tough time these past few years."

He then looked at Ma Bao, Yang Pojun, Zhan Yu, Zuo Yan, and Shui Bing'er, and said, "It seems that you have all improved quite a bit and are now capable of handling things on your own."

Hearing Gu Xuan's praise, Ma Bao chuckled, "Boss, I'm already level 85! I feel like I can break through to level 90 and become a Title Douluo in less than three years!"

When Ma Bao revealed his level and asked for praise, the others couldn't help but chime in as well.

Gu Xuan listened attentively and discovered that they had made significant breakthroughs in the past two years, averaging an increase of four levels of soul power per year.

Two years ago, Ma Bao was only level 76, but now he is level 85. Excluding the level of soul power gained from absorbing the soul ring, he has increased his level by eight in two years.

And the same is true for everyone else.

Zhan Yu, Yang Pojun, and Zuo Yan were level 75 two years ago, and now they have reached level 84.

Xue Ke is slightly less talented. Two years ago, she was level 71, and now she is level 79, just one step away from level 80. However, her talent is already at its peak, considering that Xue Ke is only nineteen years old!

Li Li reached level 84 from level 75, the same as Zuo Yan and the other two.

Like Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing reached level 83 from level 74. However, Ye Lingling had the highest soul power level, rising from level 79 to level 88. Her improvement was no less than that of the others, and she was only two levels away from becoming a Title Douluo.

However, Ning Rongrong is not here now, but her soul power level has improved more than others, because everyone else's assessment has been completed, and only Ning Rongrong's ninth assessment is still in progress.

It was precisely because of the Sea God's inheritance assessment that Ning Rongrong received more rewards than others, resulting in the greatest improvement over the past two years.

Two years ago, Ning Rongrong was level 77, and now she has reached the same level as Ye Lingling. In other words, she has increased her soul power by a full ten levels in two years, which can only be described as terrifying!

After hearing everyone reveal their levels, Gu Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems you've all worked hard these past few years. I'll reward you when we get back."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the group was all excited, since Gu Xuan's rewards were usually really good stuff.

The fact that each of his several fiancées possessed a soul bone is enough to prove this.

Gu Xuan then looked at Ye Lingling and said, "Your ninth spirit ring has been prepared for you. It was started when you left two years ago, and it should be complete by now. I think there is no spirit ring more suitable for you than that one."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Ye Lingling paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Is this considered a gift?"

Gu Xuan gently stroked Ye Lingling's delicate nose and replied, "What do you think?"

Ye Lingling smiled but did not answer.

At this moment, Poseidon, who hadn't interrupted the group's reminiscing, spoke up: "Rongrong's assessment is complete, and she should have received the content of the eighth test by now. You are all free for the time being."

Hearing Poseidon's words, Gu Xuan was overjoyed and asked, "High Priest, where is Rongrong?"

Just as Gu Xuan finished speaking, Ning Rongrong, holding the Trident of Poseidon, appeared directly from the huge blue crystal ball above the dome. When she saw Gu Xuan, Ning Rongrong was extremely excited, even more so than when she pulled out the Trident of Poseidon!

"Brother Gu Xuan!"

Ning Rongrong leaped from above and landed in Gu Xuan's arms, pushing Ye Lingling and the other girls aside.

However, the girls were not unhappy because they had already hugged each other beforehand.

Gu Xuan looked at Ning Rongrong, who was already looking quite dashing in his arms, and patted her little head: "Not bad, you've already completed the seventh test. It seems that it won't be long before our Rongrong becomes the Sea God."

Then Gu Xuan looked at the Trident of Poseidon in Ning Rongrong's hand: "This should be the legendary artifact of the Sea God, the Trident of Poseidon, right?"

Hearing Gu Xuan tease her, Ning Rongrong blushed instantly, handed the Sea God Trident to Gu Xuan, and said, "If Brother Gu Xuan wants it, Rongrong can let Brother Gu Xuan experience it too."

Just after Ning Rongrong handed the Trident of Poseidon to Gu Xuan, the little girl broke free from Gu Xuan's embrace, a sly smile flashing across her pretty face, as if she wanted to see Gu Xuan make a fool of himself.

Gu Xuan subconsciously took it, and then suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from his hand. Fortunately, Gu Xuan's physical fitness had now reached the level of a demigod. Even the Trident of the Sea God, which weighed 108,000 jin, was only a slightly heavy weapon in Gu Xuan's hands.

Gu Xuan took the Trident of Poseidon with his left hand. After Ning Rongrong left his embrace, Gu Xuan also saw through the little girl's little thoughts, but Ning Rongrong was destined to miscalculate.

With a slight exertion, Gu Xuan began to twirl the Trident of Poseidon in his hand. The Trident, weighing a staggering 108,000 jin, seemed to have lost its divine power in Gu Xuan's hands. If there had been enough space, Gu Xuan would have definitely shown off his harpoon spear technique.

"Wh...what?!" Ning Rongrong and Poseidon exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

The others present might not know the weight of Poseidon's Trident, but Ning Rongrong and Poseidon did.

Even a super strong expert at the Title Douluo level would need to exert most of their strength to barely lift this divine artifact, let alone play with it as casually as Gu Xuan.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong still thought that the Trident of Poseidon only weighed 108 jin in Gu Xuan's hands! Otherwise, how could Brother Gu Xuan pick it up so easily?

Gu Xuan toyed with the trident for a moment, then looked at the eager Ma Bao and handed it to him: "Little Ma, want to give it a try?"

Ma Bao stepped forward excitedly. This was a divine artifact! Now that he had the chance to touch it, he naturally wouldn't hold back.

However, to Ma Bao's surprise, the trident that seemed ordinary in the hands of Gu Xuan and Ning Rongrong changed after it fell into his hands.

As soon as Ma Bao received the trident, he suddenly felt as if he were holding up a mountain, and he stumbled and fell straight to the ground.

"Boom!"

The Trident of Poseidon pressed down on Ma Bao's hands, slamming into the ground with a deafening roar. Just from the sound, one could sense just how terrifying the weight of the trident was.

"Ah! Boss, save me! My hand is broken!!!" Ma Bao screamed in agony as if he had gone mad.

When the others saw Ma Bao's painful cry and exaggerated expression, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Zhan Yu, Yang Pojun, and Zuo Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Holy crap, Ma Ge, this is hilarious! Is this trident really that heavy?"

Ma Bao glared at the three of them: "Stop making sarcastic remarks! If you're so capable, try taking it yourself!"

Seeing this, Gu Xuan stopped teasing him. With a flick of his toe, the trident that had been pressing down on Ma Bao's hands was thrown up by Gu Xuan, who used his right hand for support.

Without the weight pressing down on him, Ma Bao immediately stood up and vigorously rubbed his hands. If he hadn't been quick enough to immediately circulate his soul power to protect his hands, they might really be broken now.

Even if it's broken, it doesn't matter; it's just a matter of agreeing. After all, Ye Lingling, a level 88 Nine-Heart Begonia, is here! A little treatment will suffice.

After recovering from the pain, Ma Bao said to Gu Xuan, "Boss, what's your strength now? This trident is way too heavy! I reckon it would take me all my strength to lift it, and you're just using it like an ordinary weapon?"

Hearing Ma Bao's words, everyone noticed this scene. After all, they didn't doubt that Ma Bao was faking it, and that Zhan Yu and the others were just joking. After all, Ma Bao's painful voice just now was not fake.

Hearing Ma Bao's words, everyone finally realized just how powerful Gu Xuan was to be able to hold and play with such a heavy trident of the sea god.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
