Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

When she said this, Liu Erlong's eyes revealed determination, clearly showing that she harbored a lot of resentment towards the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

“Then Yu Yuanfeng’s strength must be quite strong, right? After all, he is an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family,” Liu Erlong said.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "It's alright, I passed the test anyway."

Liu Erlong nodded gently: "I hope everything goes smoothly."

Chen Luo suddenly spoke up: "You will definitely return to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family in the future."

"will not!"

Liu Erlong said firmly.

Chen Luo also firmly replied, "Yes!"

Liu Erlong finally understood the different meaning in Chen Luo's words and asked directly, "Really?"

Chen Luo nodded: "Of course it's true, I will definitely take you back."

Liu Erlong laughed, but as she laughed, tears involuntarily streamed down her face again.

At this moment, Liu Erlong remembered something strange and immediately asked, "When I saw you come over just now, why didn't I see your spirit ring?"

Chen Luo smiled slightly: "This is an ability that comes with the evolution of Golden Luo Sanpao. It can hide the soul ring, but it will be exposed during battle."

"Alright..." Liu Erlong didn't ask any more questions.

Their gazes then fell on Flander, who was some distance away. When their attention was focused on Flander, their expressions changed slightly.

"This fluctuation of soul power..."

"Is Boss Francis about to break through?"

After a slight pause, Chen Luo and Liu Erlong both revealed excited smiles.

Then Chen Luo and Liu Erlong exchanged a glance and went to patrol the surroundings in different directions to protect Flander.

Liu Erlong noticed that after Chen Luo activated his martial soul, his spirit rings still did not appear, but considering Chen Luo's explanation earlier, she did not think about it further.

In addition, Liu Erlong noticed that Golden Luo Sanpao seemed to have grown a bit bigger, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

Chen Luo and Liu Erlong each stood on one side, so they could react immediately if they sensed danger approaching.

And so time slowly passed, while Flander remained in a state of cultivation.

However, even from a distance, Chen Luo and Liu Erlong could still sense that the soul power fluctuations emanating from Flander were becoming increasingly intense, which was clearly a sign of a breakthrough.

Both Chen Luo and Liu Erlong were genuinely happy for Flander.

The Contra level is a height that countless Soul Masters dream of. Chen Luo and Liu Erlong have heard Flander say more than once that his goal is to become a Contra level master. Now, his wish is finally about to be fulfilled.

While a Soul Master's hard work and talent are certainly important, opportunities become increasingly crucial as the game progresses. Sometimes, seizing an opportunity can save one from years or even decades of arduous journey.

For many people, what they lack is just an opportunity.

As the fluctuations of soul power around Flander became increasingly intense, the soul power in the world seemed to be drawn in. Although it wasn't as dramatic as the world changing color, Chen Luo and Liu Erlong could clearly feel that the fluctuations of soul power had reached a new level, and Flander was about to complete his breakthrough.

At this moment, Chen Luo and Liu Erlong both focused their attention on Flander. Under their witness, Flander's aura suddenly changed.

It worked!

Flander slowly opened his eyes, feeling more refreshed than ever before; the feeling of being filled with power was truly comfortable.

Level 80...

If you look closely at Flander's appearance, you'll find that although he still looks disheveled, his wounds have completely healed, and he's in top condition.

"Congratulations, Boss Francis!!"

Chen Luo was all smiles, as was Liu Erlong. Both of them had arrived at Flander's side and were extremely excited.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Flander's face, and he became excited: "I never thought that the battle that nearly killed me would turn out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing me to successfully reach level 80!"

As he spoke, Flander's gaze fell on the corpse of the Shadow Elephant beside him, and finally settled on the pitch-black soul ring floating above the Shadow Elephant's corpse.

"Looks like this spirit ring won't go to waste," Flander chuckled.

Liu Erlong then asked, "Brother Fu, is this spirit ring really suitable for you?"

Flanders laughed and said, "You shouldn't be asking me that. There's a master right here!"

Chen Luo stared intently at the corpse of the Yin You Elephant for a moment before speaking: "The main strength of the Yin You Elephant lies in the Yin You power within it. Once it erupts, its power and speed increase dramatically, and its attacks and some energy-form soul skills will also carry Yin You power. For Boss Fu, it's not particularly suitable, but it's not unacceptable either."

“That’s fine then!” Vlad laughed.

Chen Luo then added, "It's about the lifespan of this spirit ring..."

Flander glared at Chen Luo with annoyance: "Isn't that enough? A spirit ring that's nearly 60,000 years old is already very good. Where are there so many spirit beasts with such high lifespans? Besides, even if you gave me a 100,000-year spirit ring, I couldn't absorb it. My physique can't compare to yours. This spirit ring's lifespan is basically at the limit that I can handle!"

"Ok."

Chen Luo nodded. He wanted to help Flander find a soul beast with a higher age as much as possible, but what Flander said made sense. Although the higher the age of the soul ring, the better, it must be something that he can absorb and that is suitable for him. High-age soul beasts are rare, and not to mention the danger of hunting them, just finding them is very difficult.

The Yin-Yang Elephant is no less impressive, being a nearly 60,000-year-old soul beast. If Flander successfully absorbs the soul ring, he will most likely also gain the power of Yin-Yang as a soul skill, which will greatly enhance his combat power.

“Erlong, let’s continue to protect Boss Fu!” Chen Luo said.

Liu Erlong nodded: "Okay!"

With a smile on his face, Flander went to the corpse of the Shadow Elephant and began to absorb the soul ring.

Chapter 158 They've all gotten stronger

Absorbing a spirit ring that is nearly 60,000 years old is not so easy. Although a spirit master's eighth spirit ring can generally withstand a level of more than 50,000 years, each spirit master's physique is different, and the limit they can withstand will also be different. As for the age of the spirit ring, let alone increasing it by 10,000 years, even increasing it by 1,000 years will be a completely different level of difficulty.

After Flander began absorbing the spirit ring, a painful expression soon appeared on his face. Chen Luo and Liu Erlong both saw it, but they could only offer him mental support, as absorbing the spirit ring was something he had to do on his own.

Perched atop a tree, Chen Luo gazed into the distance and soon saw his previous masterpiece: the enormous crater in the distance was left behind when he killed the Thunder Dragon while obtaining his sixth spirit ring.

If a 30,000-year-old soul beast already possesses such terrifying destructive power, then it goes without saying that this nearly 60,000-year-old soul beast is even more formidable. It was truly remarkable that Flander and Liu Erlong were able to subdue it.

It's likely that Liu Erlong lost her temper during the battle; otherwise, with her and Flander's strength, escaping would have been relatively easy.

Looking deeper into the forest, traces of a battle could be vaguely seen. Black smoke rose in wisps, many trees were destroyed, and there were pits of varying sizes, which must have been left by Flander and Liu Erlong after their battle with the Yin You Elephant.

Although the soul beast resources of Sunset Forest cannot compare with those of Star Dou Great Forest, it is still quite renowned, with some powerful soul beasts and a very vast area.

Although Chen Luo had been to this place several times, he had not yet fully explored the Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo's residence could only be considered near the center, or even if it could be considered part of the center, it was still on the edge.

Deeper into the Sunset Forest, there are clearly some more powerful soul beasts. The more powerful the soul beast, the more intelligent it is. It will not actively seek out human soul masters to hunt, and it can accurately judge the strength of human soul masters in order to avoid them and keep itself away from misfortune.

There are also soul beasts like the Yin You Elephant that love to devour human soul masters, but they are few in number. Most soul beasts do not like to eat humans; they simply hate humans.

Soul beasts that like to actively attack human soul masters are generally few in number. It is already extremely difficult for soul beasts to grow up, and if they actively seek to die, it would be strange if their numbers were not small.

As the sun and moon changed, two days passed quickly.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, Flander completed the absorption of the Shadow Elephant Soul Ring and officially entered the Soul Douluo level.

There was no overly excited scene, only a broad smile on his face and a voice full of laughter: "I did it!"

Chen Luo and Liu Erlong immediately came to Flander's side, both with smiles on their faces, and offered their congratulations.

"Dear Mr. Contra, please use one word to describe your current mood," Chen Luo said with a smile.

Flanders laughed heartily, "That feels good!"

The process of absorbing a spirit ring is destined to be painful, but after the pain comes comfort. This comfort spread, and Flander felt not only physically comfortable, but also mentally comfortable, feeling that his soul was enjoying indescribable pleasure.

Liu Erlong laughed and said, "I thought I would be the first of the three of us to reach the Soul Douluo level, but I didn't expect to become Boss Fu."

“I didn’t expect that either,” Flanders laughed.

Chen Luo asked, "Brother Fu, what is your eighth soul skill? Is it the power of Yin and Yang?"

Flander nodded: "Yes, I'll show you. I feel that after I have this eighth soul skill, it will be very difficult for ordinary titled Douluo to kill me."

After speaking, Flander activated his Martial Soul. As the Martial Soul was attached to his body, eight Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath Flander's feet, symbolizing his current status as a Soul Douluo and unleashing the powerful aura befitting a Soul Douluo.

"Now our Golden Iron Triangle finally has a Contra-level powerhouse!"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Flander, Chen Luo smiled.

Then he looked at Liu Erlong and said, "And soon, there will be another one!"

Flander laughed and said, "You should be close to it too. You've created so many miracles, reaching the Soul Douluo level should be just a matter of time. Maybe you'll even surpass us and become the first of the three of us to reach the Title Douluo level!"

Chen Luo laughed: "You're getting more and more outrageous, Boss Fu!"

At the same time, he secretly thought to himself, "It's not impossible to get a few more cheat codes."

Now that the academy has settled the issue of returning students to their original schools, as long as Shrek Academy continues to develop in a better direction, it is definitely possible to have Title Douluos.

As for more distant goals, there's no point in thinking about them too much; just let nature take its course.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Luo and Liu Erlong, Flander activated his eighth soul skill.

Under the intense fluctuations of soul power, Flander's body began to be covered by a ghostly green energy, and at the same time, Flander's aura was greatly enhanced.

"The effect of the eighth soul skill is similar to the effect of the Yin Nether Power that Xiao Gang just mentioned. In this state, my strength and speed are greatly enhanced, and my normal attacks and soul skills can carry Yin Nether Power to increase destructive power."

As Flander spoke, he activated his ordinary soul skill.

With a gentle wave of his left hand, Flander unleashed several energy blades that, covered in a ghostly green energy, easily sliced ​​through all obstacles over twenty meters long. Trees and bushes along the way were neatly cut, and the cuts were coated with ghostly green energy, possessing a corrosive effect that further increased their destructive power.

Immediately afterward, the Flanders moved, their speed was truly fast, as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye they were in mid-air, leaving behind a ghostly green trail that slowly disappeared.

At least, Chen Luo and Liu Erlong genuinely didn't see Flander's progress.

No wonder Flander said that ordinary titled Douluo couldn't kill him; who could catch up with that speed!

After briefly demonstrating his eighth soul skill, Flander returned to the ground and withdrew his martial soul.

Chen Luo said, "Extremely strong!"

Flander smiled and said, "Don't be envious. You'll have one too someday. Maybe you'll get lucky and have a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring as your eighth spirit ring?"

This time, Chen Luo didn't say Flander was outrageous. Instead, he said rather modestly, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. However, I already have a 100,000-year soul ring."

Upon hearing this, Flander's smile vanished abruptly, and he stammered, "W-what?"

Liu Erlong's voice rose even higher involuntarily: "You possess a 100,000-year soul ring?!"

Chen Luo finally stopped hiding his secrets and showed his 100,000-year soul ring to Flander and Liu Erlong.
