Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 65 Reminiscence

"Oh!"

At this moment, it was almost noon. With the help of Xuanzi and Du Weilun, the powerful ape with a thousand years of cultivation was transformed into Tai'an's second soul ring in just a short while.

As Tai'an had predicted, due to the defect of his own martial soul, his soul power increased more slowly than that of other geniuses of the same age. However, his physical strength and mental power far surpassed those of a two-ring great soul master.

In just half an hour, Tai'an had absorbed the soul ring of the powerful ape in front of him and successfully broke through to the level of a two-ring Great Soul Master. Everything went so smoothly that his own soul power also naturally reached the level of twenty-two.

"I've successfully broken through! As expected, with my current condition, absorbing a thousand-year-old soul ring at level twenty is truly a piece of cake. Even my soul power has increased by two levels along the way! Haha!"

Feeling his soul power finally reach the second ring level, Tai'an's eyes were filled with joy. Heaven knows how long he had been stuck at the level nineteen bottleneck.

Now, with the help of several pills, he has finally broken through to level 20 and absorbed a thousand-year-old soul ring, breaking through all the way to level 22. In terms of soul power level, he has finally caught up with Wu Feng and the others.

"Congratulations!"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Tai'an, Luo Chen smiled and said.

With his abilities, he could clearly see the terrifying life force emanating from Tai'an, which seemed to belong to a level other than the second ring. Although judging a person's strength by their life force is somewhat inaccurate, it is not far off.

Clearly, after successfully absorbing the millennium soul ring and breaking through to the second ring level, Tai'an's combat strength has undergone a qualitative leap, especially his terrifying physique, which has been further strengthened under the cleansing of the millennium soul ring.

Even Luo Chen felt a bit of pressure. Having just broken through to the second ring, Tai An's physical attributes had already gone from being close to the Soul Venerable level to being close to the fourth-ring Soul Master level!

His own combat power has probably jumped directly from the level of a three-ring Soul Master to the level of a four-ring Soul Sect Master. The terrifying nature of the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, which is known as the overlord of the Soul Beast World, has only just been revealed at this moment!

"Hehe, Chenzi, if you hadn't finished absorbing your spirit rings yet, I'd really like to fight you. You were beating me up before, but I think the outcome would be different now..."

After figuring out the effects of the powerful offensive soul skill granted by his thousand-year soul ring, Tai'an looked at Luo Chen with a sly expression and a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

However, Luo Chen simply smiled calmly, nodded slightly, and replied:

"Let's spar when we get back. I'll see just how strong you've become after breaking through to the second ring. But let's make it clear first, I won't be responsible if I make you cry!"

"What a joke! I'm a grown man, how could you possibly make me cry? Even if you beat me to the point of being unable to get up again, I wouldn't be afraid in the slightest!"

Hearing Luo Chen's sarcastic words, Tai An smiled and replied.

Knowing Luo Chen's personality, he naturally understood why the other party would say that. Clearly, even without obtaining a soul ring, the other party was fully confident in dealing with him. However, he was not one to be trifled with.

After Luo Chen and Tai An had another "friendly exchange," Du Weiren respectfully addressed Elder Xuan, who was standing to the side:

"Elder Xuan, since you are here to oversee things, I will take this student back to the academy first. Please look after Luo Chen's matter..."

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll be here watching over him, you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing Du Weilun's words, Xuanzi waved his hand and casually replied.

He knew that a student with only a second-ring cultivation level couldn't possibly be of any use here. Moreover, the core layer of the Star Dou Great Forest was too dangerous. If it was just Luo Chen alone, it would be fine, but if there were more people, he wasn't confident he could protect them.

"yes!"

Du Weilen responded, and a flying soul tool appeared behind him. Then he grabbed Tai'an and sped away towards Shrek Academy.

"Let's go, young Luo. I happen to have some time today, so I'll take you to explore the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. If you see any soul beasts that catch your eye, remember to tell me."

After Du Weiren and Tai'an left, Xuanzi looked at Luo Chen beside him and then spoke calmly.

His relaxed demeanor made it seem as if this trip wasn't to hunt for spirit rings in the most dangerous area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, but rather a leisurely vacation, leaving Luo Chen speechless.

Although Xuanzi possessed the cultivation of a level 98 Super Douluo, Luo Chen was still uneasy about his indifferent demeanor. Since he was there to hunt for spirit rings, he should at least show some attitude.

After all, every Soul Master knows how dangerous the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest is. Even Soul Masters with the cultivation of Limit Douluo dare not say that they can come out unscathed!

"Yes, thank you for your help..."

Although Luo Chen was worried about Xuan Zi's lazy appearance, he didn't have any better support at the moment. If he were to go to the core area to hunt ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts on his own, he would probably be engaged in a bloody battle as soon as he entered, and then... die a vivid death.

"What's wrong? You seem to distrust me a lot. Do you think I can't protect you?"

Xuanzi couldn't miss the worried look on Luo Chen's face. He couldn't help but look at Luo Chen with amusement and asked in a flippant tone.

"No, with Elder Xuan's strength standing at the pinnacle of Soul Masters, how could I not trust you? I'm just worried that my weak strength won't be able to protect myself in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest."

Faced with Xuanzi's question, Luo Chen naturally couldn't reveal what he was thinking, otherwise wouldn't that be slapping the other party in the face?

However, Xuanzi also understood the implication behind Luo Chen's words. Ultimately, it was because Luo Chen didn't trust him that he spoke like this. Xuanzi's face hardened with seriousness, and he said:

"Haha, kid Luo, just go for it! Since I've already said I'd guarantee your safety, I'll protect you even if it means risking my life!"

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared in Xuanzi's eyes as he looked at Luo Chen. All the things he had regretted in the past seemed to surface in his mind at this moment.
