Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Xu Yang arrived at Kong Deming's secluded training ground. According to Xu Yang's estimate, two years should be enough for Kong Deming to break through to the Super Douluo level.

Moreover, due to the nature of the living gold, Kong Deming's strength should be greater than what is shown in the original work.

As for how much stronger, Xu Yang couldn't really estimate.

He stood quietly in front of the door, and apart from Xu Sheng bringing him food once, no one else came.

Out of boredom, Xu Yang summarized Meng Hongchen's work over the past two and a half years.

Overall, Miss Meng is indeed a very qualified experimental assistant. Whether it's organizing various soul guidance arrays or compiling soul beast data, Meng Hongchen does a very good job.

It was difficult for Xu Yang to find fault with her; she was indeed raised by Jing Hongchen from a young age.

Xu Yang is now considering whether to give Meng Hongchen a raise, even though Meng Hongchen has gained a lot of knowledge about soul tools over the past two years because of working for him.

Meng Hongchen, who is not yet nine years old, should be considered a level three Soul Master. However, he has not yet participated in the assessment due to his Soul Power level.

Jing Hongchen was quite surprised by Meng Hongchen's rapid growth, so he suggested that Xiao Hongchen also come to Xu Yang's place as an intern for a period of time.

Xu Yang happily agreed, so two years ago, Xiao Hongchen became Xu Yang's second subordinate.

And it was handed over to Meng Hongchen for personal supervision.

During this time, the three of them got much closer, and the Hongchen siblings naturally started calling Xu Yang "Boss/Brother Yang" in private.

Xu Yang waited until midnight. Tonight was a full moon night, and the bright moon hung high outside, making it a rare opportunity for the owner of the Silver Moon Martial Soul to cultivate.

He figured it would happen tonight.

As if in response to Xu Yang's thoughts, Xu Yang could clearly sense a very obvious fluctuation of soul power in the cultivation room.

This is a sign that Kong Deming is about to make a breakthrough.

Xu Yang was no longer as calm as before, and his hands involuntarily clenched.

However, the fluctuation of soul power disappeared not long afterward, and at the same time, Kong Deming's tall figure walked out of the training room.

Xu Yang could clearly sense that Kong Deming was different from before, and had a feeling of being one with heaven and earth. If Kong Deming hadn't been standing right in front of him, he felt that it would have been difficult to detect Kong Deming's existence using his current conventional methods.

This must be the unity of heaven and man that a Super Douluo must comprehend.

Upon first seeing Xu Yang, Kong Deming smiled and said:

"Ah Yang, I've now broken through to Super Douluo, and my grandfather is already a Level 10 Soul Master."

Kong Deming's tone was somewhat proud.

This is because he is the first level 10 Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire in nearly 10,000 years. As a pioneer who opened up a new path, Kong Deming has every right to be proud.

Congratulations, Grandpa!

Xu Yang was genuinely happy for Kong Deming.

He knew that besides his parents, Kong Deming's biggest worry was breaking through to the tenth level of Soul Master.

The goal has now been achieved, which is something Kong Deming will be happy about for a long time.

"So, what is your current strength?"

Xu Yang continued to ask.

Kong Deming also composed himself and said:

"A Limit Douluo who has just entered level 99 is definitely no match for me. As for those old guys who have been immersed in that cultivation for a long time, I dare not say because I have never fought with them. But I am certain that I can be invincible with the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield."

"However, as long as I use enough level-nine offensive soul tools, I can wear them down to death."

This is the confidence that the level 10 soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, brought to Kong Deming.

"Is that so...?"

Xu Yang already had a general idea in his mind. Kong Deming's current strength was enough to easily defeat Xuanzi, who had just entered the limit in the original work. However, if he were to deal with Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui, it would most likely be a draw, because the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield was still quite lacking in attack power.

But in terms of defense, even if all three of them attacked together, they probably wouldn't be a match for Kong Deming.

Thanks to the protection of the Silver Moon, Xu Yang could glimpse some of the terrifying defensive power of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

This would be of considerable help to his subsequent hunting efforts.

"Grandpa, I'm level 30 now. Do you still remember the spirit ring you promised me?"

"Of course, it's just an Evil Eye Soul Ring, Grandpa will get it for you right away."

Clearly, breaking through to the Super Douluo level greatly boosted Kong Deming's confidence.

In the past, Kong Deming would have had to think twice about the evil emperor in the Demon Forest.

"Also, Grandpa, shouldn't we have a proper celebration for your breakthrough to Super Douluo...?"

"Let's not do it. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Ah Yang, you can't trust just anyone in the Sun Moon Empire. You must remember that."

Kong Deming pondered.

"Okay, Grandpa."

Xu Yang nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go find you your third spirit ring. Do you want it dead or alive?"

"It's alive, isn't it? Perfect, I can practice before absorbing the spirit ring, and also study the data of the Evil Eye spirit beast. I might need more Evil Eye specimens in the future."

Xu Yang said, recalling his latest project.

"Okay, just wait for me to come home."

After saying that, Kong Deming used the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield to disappear directly in front of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang also headed towards the restaurant. It was already past midnight, and apart from the meal he had at noon, he was a little hungry and needed to eat something.

When Xu Yang returned to the lab after eating and drinking his fill, he found Xiao Hongchen still working late into the night.

Ever since this kid got involved in Xu Yang's soul beast reuse project, all he can think about is turning all sorts of soul beast corpses into powerful soul tools.

It's deviated a bit from his original direction.

However, Xu Yang had to admit that Xiao Hongchen did indeed have a high level of talent in this area.

With his keen sense of metals, Xiao Hongchen can instinctively judge the compatibility between each type of metal and the corpse of a soul beast.

This maximizes the potential of the soul beast's corpse.

However, Xu Yang still felt it was more appropriate for Xiao Hongchen to focus his energy on other things.

For example... forging. Xu Yang believes that this technology, which has shone brightly in the Douluo World, has great potential.

Xu Yang was well aware of Xiao Hongchen's talent in metalworking. Although it was very difficult to achieve divine forging from scratch, spiritual forging could accomplish many things in this era.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, and Xu Yang still has a chance to get Xiao Hongchen back on track.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yang continued walking towards the bedroom.

He needed to prepare for absorbing the third spirit ring, since an eight-thousand-year-old third spirit ring would be quite challenging for Xu Yang's current physical strength.

Xu Yang is someone who likes to be absolutely certain...
