Gu Linyuan was not a useless person; his martial soul was top-notch. However, having two top-tier, mutually exclusive martial souls that were mutually exclusive and unwilling to yield to each other in one person naturally caused problems.

Chapter 74: Absorbing the Immortal Herb Again, Zhao Wuji's Killing Intent Arrives

"So that's how it is."

Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice.

At this moment, she finally understood why Gu Linyuan had suddenly perished more than six years ago, and then suddenly rose again.

Gu Linyuan is not mediocre, and he is not currently experiencing a meteoric rise, but rather revealing the true nature he was meant to have.

Sons of two god-kings.

Gu Linyuan was already so dazzling.

Even the goddesses of life and the god-kings of destruction, who are rulers of the divine realm, can only cultivate one power to its extreme. But Gu Linyuan possesses both the power of life and the power of destruction.

Given time, Gu Linyuan will likely grow to be even more powerful than the two God-Kings.

Gu Linyuan's talent is already so great, and with his god-king parents supporting him, his future achievements are bound to be significant.

Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran were both shocked by the identities of Gu Linyuan's parents, but she saw something deeper.

Gu Linyuan himself is probably the only one of his kind.

Although the two God-Kings are powerful, there are beings in the God Realm that can check and balance them. Gu Linyuan's potential for growth should even surpass that of the two God-Kings.

"Now, you won't have to worry anymore, right?"

Gu Linyuan gently pinched Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist.

"Ah."

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and lowered her head.

"But Rongrong, what are you going to do?"

From what she said...it seems she still can't get over you...

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and pouted.

She and Ning Rongrong actually had a very good relationship, after all, they had lived in the same room for so long.

Since returning to Tiandou City, Ning Rongrong has been acting as if she's possessed.

Perhaps he was provoked by Gu Linyuan.

"How could she possibly still be hung up on me? What can I do about her? I'll just let it be. I've already made it clear to her that there's no possibility of anything happening between us in the future."

"However, what I have to do with her is none of your business. You can still befriend her. If she becomes less unruly in the future, I can still treat her like a younger sister."

Gu Linyuan said with a smile.

He had no grudge against Ning Rongrong; they were simply on different paths and couldn't work together.

Poor and humble couples are sad.

Given how down on his luck he was before, Ning Rongrong wanted to distance herself from him, which Gu Linyuan could understand.

Everyone has the right to pursue a happy life.

"I'm talking about your other identity. She never knew you were Long Yuan, and she was even thinking of taking you back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Zhu Zhuqing stuck out her tongue.

"Then when should you ask her out so we can talk things out with her?"

Gu Linyuan was taken aback, then remained silent.

"Hmm... I'll go talk to Rongrong in the next couple of days. It's better to clarify these things as soon as possible."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly.

Leaning against Gu Linyuan's chest, she was completely at ease and had no other thoughts.

Although she didn't care that much about Gu Linyuan's family background, a good family background is always a big advantage in any world.

With two god-king parents and him being their only child, it's likely that the two god-kings will have no intention of raising any more children in the future.

Such a family background would be enough to make even the women of first-level and second-level gods in the divine realm swoon, let alone Zhu Zhuqing.

She was just a little distressed, feeling that she was no longer good enough for Gu Linyuan.

If she and Gu Linyuan hadn't already confessed their feelings, she would have distanced herself the moment she learned of Gu Linyuan's family background. Such a background holds a fatal attraction for women, but it also brings unparalleled pressure.

"What's wrong with me?"

"If outsiders knew about Brother Yuan's background, I wonder how shameless they would be to rush over."

"With Yuan-ge's parents' abilities, as long as I don't do anything outrageous in the future, I'm afraid..."

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists.

She dared not even think about becoming a god.

But a trip to the realm of gods doesn't seem impossible.

……

The three girls went to school, while Gu Linyuan stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Gu Linyuan returned to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and began to absorb the second immortal herb.

Golden specks of light drifted out from the flowers.

One piece, two pieces, ten pieces, a hundred pieces.

They detached from the petals, flew out from the stamens, and seeped out from the stems and leaves, swirling and converging in mid-air, slowly condensing into a golden, gently rotating ball of light.

A day has passed.

When Gu Linyuan opened his eyes, his cultivation level had already broken through to level thirty-eight.

Each time Gu Linyuan absorbed a soul ring, it helped him break through three levels of cultivation.

This is probably a unique effect of the immortal herb. Besides serving as Gu Linyuan's soul ring, the remaining medicinal power will nourish his body.

"call."

"Truly worthy of being called a divine herb."

"Absorbing an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul ring would at most raise my cultivation level by one or two levels, but the medicinal effects of the immortal herb are enormous."

"If I could absorb all the immortal herbs, how terrifying would my body be?"

Gu Linyuan lowered his head.

His body shimmered with a brilliant light, and although he was not a god, he exuded an extraordinary aura.

Possessing both life and destruction attributes, and having absorbed so many immortal herbs...

Gu Linyuan felt that if his physique were placed in larger fantasy worlds, it would probably be top-tier.

“My mother is absolutely right. With my constitution, I really don’t need any arduous training.”

He also wanted to experience the hardships of cultivation, but that was just wishful thinking for him.

The worldview of Douluo Continent is based on bloodline. Martial Souls are inherited through bloodlines, and the offspring of gods are far superior to ordinary people. Like begets like, even if Gu Linyuan were a playboy, he wouldn't be too far off.

For ordinary people, this kind of world is practically no different from hell.

However, as a beneficiary of the existing system, Gu Linyuan still enjoyed it.

But perhaps he will change some things once he becomes a god. At the very least, he will give ordinary people more opportunities.

In my past life, sports competitions all had promotion and relegation systems. It's unacceptable for those Soul Master families to simply coast along with their Martial Souls and still overwhelmingly surpass other striving families.

He stood up, dusted off non-existent dust from his robes, straightened his moon-white robes, and walked towards the valley entrance.

The morning mist had mostly dissipated, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the tree canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

He walked through the dense forest at the valley entrance and embarked on the path back to Tiandou City.

"Long Yuan, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I thought you had already left...hehe..."

Gu Linyuan frowned.

A cold laugh came from the depths of the dense forest.

At the same time, a terrifying aura of soul power surged out of the dense forest like a tide, overwhelming Gu Linyuan.

The aura was as heavy as a mountain and as powerful as a hammer, pressing down on the air until it became viscous and causing the grass and trees to bend over.

Gu Linyuan stopped in his tracks. He recognized that aura.

Zhao Wuji emerged from the dense forest.

"How did you find me?" Gu Linyuan raised an eyebrow.

"Zhu Qing hasn't returned to Shrek Academy; she's been with you. We just need to investigate Zhu Qing to find out."

"I never dreamed that you were Long Yuan. Hahahaha..."

"Gu Linyuan, you, the universally acknowledged good-for-nothing, are actually Longyuan... This is truly astonishing."

Chapter 75 Second Soul Skill: Falling Petals, the Place Where Zhao Wuji Fell From the Ashes

Zhao Wuji's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He knew of Gu Linyuan's great name.

Gu Linyuan, with his twin martial souls, once shocked the continent.

Such talent, especially since it was awakened in public, was something the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't hide.

At that time, the Spirit Hall even considered assassinating Gu Linyuan.

“I’m afraid I might suspect that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School set up this scheme to hide your talent.”

"But judging from Rongrong's appearance, it doesn't seem like she's acting."

Zhao Wuji spoke to himself.
