"..."
"Below the God-level, this effect is doubled..."
Upon hearing these words, Yun Ming, Tong Yu, and Leng Yaozhu froze in place, their expressions blank, their shock beyond description.
This would mean that below the God-level, even semi-gods like them...
No one would truly be able to pose a threat to the person before them.
Yet, in the entire Douluo Continent, had there ever been anyone above the God-level?
"You..."
"Are truly terrifying."
Yun Ming took a deep breath and couldn't help but say.
Back when Luo Chuan possessed the Life God Ring and the Scepter of Life, his mastery in healing had already undeniably surpassed Ya Li's level.
Now, with the addition of the Destruction God Ring...
Who in the world could possibly rival him?
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan merely revealed a confident and composed smile.
Once he became a Titled Douluo, even without mentioning other God-level abilities, just with what he had now, in the world of Douluo...
He would be the undisputed, unparalleled number one.
"Give me a few more years to develop."
"Even Tang San's hammer-wielding father would be useless."
Tang Luochuan's gaze carried a hint of contemplation as he thought to himself.
However, now that he had already broken through to Soul Sage, it was time to make some arrangements in other areas—whether it was the Blood God Legion in the Abyss or other matters...
"..."
That afternoon.
In the Dragon Valley World.
Tang Luochuan's figure appeared here, and this Small World was no longer as empty and desolate as it once had been.
The reason was simple: for many years now, not only had his subordinates resided here, but he had also made the Dragon Valley a prime cultivation sanctuary for his companions.
"Greetings, Master."
Not far away, two men who had been training under the guidance of the Mountain Dragon King paused and turned their gazes toward Tang Luochuan, their expressions filled with reverence.
These two tall men were none other than Sima Jinchi, wielder of the Dragon Clan Law Blade Dragon Slayer Blade, and Long Yue, possessor of the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul.
The former's combat training was conducted directly with the Mountain Dragon King, while the latter clearly wasn't at that level yet.
"Hmm, you're both doing well."
"Jin Chi, Long Yue, keep it up."
Tang Luochuan nodded slightly and smiled.
As his "heaven-sent" guard, Sima Jinchi had more than lived up to expectations. His cultivation had already risen from Rank 91 to Rank 94, an increase of three levels.
With the unique power of the Dragon Slayer Blade, his combat prowess was unafraid of even an Ultimate Douluo, not to mention he also possessed a complete set of Four-Word Battle Armor.
He truly lived up to the name of the Dragon Clan Law Blade.
As for Long Yue, the difference between now and the past was like night and day.
Under the Mountain Dragon King's patient guidance, not only had his mastery over the Mountain Dragon King Bloodline far surpassed what it once was, but his cultivation...
Had also reached a level much higher than before.
Rank 76, Seven-Ring Battle Soul Saint!
In the original timeline, at this point, he had barely been a high-level Soul Emperor. Now, not only was he a Third-Rank Battle Armorist and Soul Saint, but he had also advanced nearly an entire major realm beyond his former self.
"Yes, Master!"
Sima Jinchi and Long Yue responded respectfully.
The next moment, Tang Luochuan's figure flashed again, arriving at another valley.
At this location, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and Wei Xiaofeng were all present.
"Boss, you're here."
Seeing Tang Luochuan's figure, Xie Xie and the others immediately brightened up, smiling as they spoke. Most of their training time was usually spent here.
It was worth mentioning that everyone present had now surpassed the Soul Ancestor level, possessing the cultivation of an initial-stage Soul King and becoming owners of One-Word Battle Armor.
The reason for their current achievements naturally traced back to a year and a half ago.
After breaking through to Soul Ancestor, the youths had all absorbed Immortal Herbs to enhance their cultivation and talents—even the quality of their Martial Souls.
This included, but was not limited to, Wang Jinxi's Martial Soul evolving into a true Bone Dragon King Martial Soul, Zhang Yangzi—who originally had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him—evolving his Martial Soul into a Dark Eagle Dragon, and Xie Xie transforming his Light and Shadow Dragon Daggers into a Space-Time Dragon.
Of course, the one who had undergone the most significant evolution was the figure currently being watched by everyone—the former Azure Shadow Serpent King, Wei Xiaofeng.
"..."
Gazing at the young man whose figure coiled around the mountains, with the shadow of a python-dragon flickering between reality and illusion behind him, his energy growing increasingly powerful, Tang Luochuan couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Finally about to transform into a dragon, Xiaofeng."
Wei Xiaofeng, once the least talented among his companions—even in the entire East Sea F8, he had been the most inconspicuous—yet his growth...
From the initial Azure Shadow Serpent Martial Soul, to evolving into an Azure Shadow Python through his maternal family's heritage, and then transforming into an Azure Shadow Python Dragon in the Dragon Valley...
His Martial Soul had undergone the greatest breakthrough among them, much like Wu Lin's First Soul Spirit, Golden Light, in the original story.
Precisely because he had once been so weak, over the past two-plus years, whether it was the enhancement from absorbing Immortal Herbs or the guidance from Dragon Soul energy, everything had benefited him immensely.
Now, he was on the verge of completing the Python Dragon Transformation.
"Xiaofeng's progress..."
"Really makes others envious."
Looking at the scene before him, Zhang Yangzi couldn't help but sigh. From serpent to python, python to python-dragon, and now this Python Dragon Transformation...
It made him, whose Martial Soul had originally been an eagle, deeply envious.
Even though his Martial Soul had evolved, it had only gained a powerful accompanying Dragon Soul, becoming the form of their former Martial Soul Fusion Skill—the Dark Eagle Dragon.
Of course, his Fusion Skill with Jin Xi still existed and had also received tremendous enhancement, now a dark-attribute area-of-effect ability: Twilight of the Dark Night.
"Who could argue with that?"
Beside him, Xie Xie, whose Martial Soul had evolved into a Space-Time Dragon, blinked and couldn't help but sigh as well.
"What are you talking about."
"My Martial Soul is still technically an eagle, while yours is uniquely blessed—both are top-tier dragon bloodlines, alright?"
Hearing Xie Xie's words, Zhang Yangzi gave him a helpless look. Xie Xie was really pretending to be modest after gaining an advantage.
"Heh, Space-Time power is too hard to cultivate. Even though my Martial Soul has those words in its name, I'll probably never comprehend it in this lifetime—I can only stick to being an agility-attack type..."
"I just want to cultivate to Ultimate Douluo in the future and grasp the tiniest sliver of Space-Time power, that's all."
Xie Xie shook his head with a smile, his gaze drifting toward the boundless sky in the distance as he chuckled softly.
When it came to the elusive power of time and space, he wouldn't normally be this eager—but who could blame him?
He really, really wanted to see his mother just one more time.
At this thought, Xie Xie couldn't help but clench his fist.
This power of time and space—he, Xie Xie, would definitely master it.
"Enough bickering, you two."
"Yangzi, Xie Xie, look at Xiaofeng!"
"He seems about to succeed!"
At that moment, Wang Jinxi, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, suddenly tensed. A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes as he pointed toward Wei Xiaofeng's direction and exclaimed in surprise.
