Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 267 Divine Gear

"What?!"

Chen Xuan's head buzzed and exploded. This information was undoubtedly a shocking wave, leaving his mind blank.

He was initially stunned and didn't react, thinking he had misheard. But when he came to his senses, he was so angry that he laughed on the spot.

The final test of the God of Speed's divine trial was to have his successor find the chosen successor of the God of War and become his partner. How absurd!

Chen Xuan was so angry he laughed. Everyone said that the divine examination was supreme and sacred, but the examination content was like child's play and completely absurd.

Without even thinking, he immediately saw through the trickery of the God of Speed, who deliberately altered the assessment content and used the opportunity to become a god to threaten Ootake Kiyoshi. If he dared not comply, he would be stripped of the fruits of his two years of hard work, which was equivalent to holding a knife to someone's throat.

"Gods are all the same, they're not necessarily any more noble than humans!" Chen Xuan was furious, a surge of passion rising within him. One day, he would surely slaughter his way through the divine realm and slay all the gods with whom he had grudges.

Seeing Chen Xuan's indignation, Zhu Zhuqing not only didn't get angry, but a smile appeared on her pretty face, showing a hint of happiness.

Because she understood why Chen Xuan was so agitated—it was all because of her. Perhaps he was jealous, or perhaps he was standing up for her.

Regardless of which reason it was, Zhu Zhuqing understood that this man cared about her and that she always held a place in his heart.

It had been almost ten years since we last met. The separation back then was hard to bear and filled with pain. But after so many years, as the emotions in our hearts calmed down, we became somewhat estranged from each other. We could no longer be as close as before, and were more like good friends.

Even the best of friends will feel distant if they haven't seen each other for years.

Now, looking at the man's angry and indignant expression, Zhu Zhuqing realized that everything was because of her, and the slight distance between them vanished in an instant.

She sensed Chen Xuan's genuine emotions, including a hint of jealousy, which didn't bother her at all. Instead, she was incredibly happy, a faint smile on her face, her heart filled with a sweet warmth.

"Okay, calm down."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled gently, stretched out her slender hand, picked up a grape and held it to his lips, saying, "You really are fickle. You were just suggesting that I continue the assessment, and now you've changed your mind."

"Uh..." Chen Xuan froze, staring at the hand so close to his face. For a moment, his mind went blank, and he was at a loss.

His thoughts were in disarray, and he stared at the scene in disbelief. What was going on? This was too sudden and caught him completely off guard.

The main reason is that their relationship had been quite uneventful before. He had thought about taking it to the next level, but it was difficult to achieve. Then, Otake Kiyoshi suddenly became proactive, especially by making such intimate gestures, which was quite unexpected.

However, Chen Xuan was no ordinary person; he was very easygoing. He quickly composed himself, opened his mouth, bit into the grape, and swallowed it.

Watching Chen Xuan eat, Zhu Zhuqing smiled, her beautiful eyes narrowing into slits, looking very attractive, and her demeanor was no longer so cold.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was taking a shower in the bathroom and was unaware of what was happening outside.

"So, you've been relieved of the assessment now?" Chen Xuan asked.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded first, then shook her head and said, "No, she told me to find Dai Mubai and become his partner. Xiao Wu and I were able to return to the mainland through this opportunity."

Chen Xuan's eyes turned slightly cold. He could imagine that the two of them were not free to do anything at the assessment site.

Zhu Zhuqing took it all in stride and didn't feel any regret. She kept smiling and said, "Actually, whether or not we become gods is not important to Xiaowu and me. Chen Xuan, I care more about you."

As she spoke, she suddenly became sentimental, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, sparkling and shining like pearls.

"Chen Xuan, I don't know when it started, but you've become more and more important to me. In the years you've been gone, I...miss you so much."

These words are tantamount to a confession, revealing one's true feelings.

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at her expectant gaze, his nose inexplicably tingled, and he was deeply moved.

He reasoned that someone with a cool and aloof personality like Kiyoshi Otake must have made a very difficult decision to say such things.

"Zhu Qing, do you like Dai Mubai?" Chen Xuan suddenly asked.

Zhu Zhuqing looked stunned and somewhat confused. However, she thought about it seriously for a moment and shook her head, saying, "My relationship with him was only due to an arranged marriage. We have almost no feelings for each other. I didn't like him before, and I won't like him now or in the future."

"Alright, there's no future for him. I'll go kill him in a while!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

He had already asked Qian Renxue to find out that on the day the war in Xilu City ended, the Shrek people did not go anywhere, but went to Seagod Island and have not returned since.

"You...sigh..." Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her temples, feeling speechless. This guy really does start killing without a second thought.

"Can't you just be more direct?" She frowned slightly, displeased, and rolled her eyes at Chen Xuan with a hint of resentment.

"Xiao Wu is still here, it would be too awful of me to say that," Chen Xuan said, indicating that he had a bottom line.

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes again, somewhat speechless, and said, "Shameless. Someone like you talks about character. Your skin is as thick as ever."

A good man should only love one person, not flirt with any other woman, and be considerate to his girlfriend. Someone like Chen Xuan doesn't meet any of these criteria, yet he still has the nerve to label himself a good man.

"No, I just wanted to give you a home," Chen Xuan argued.

Zhu Zhuqing's fair face was filled with speechlessness. He really hadn't changed at all; he was just as shameless. How could she possibly fall for such a lecherous man?

"Your skin is thicker than a city wall. You say such shameless things without even blushing." She gave a coquettish snort, but it also revealed a hint of helplessness.

Chen Xuan felt wronged. He was telling the absolute truth. Was he supposed to give them a home instead of abandoning one of them? That would be worse than death for him, so of course he couldn't do it.

"Whatever you want." Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to dwell on the issue; she was already caught up in it and couldn't get out.

"By the way, I have a set of Soul Bone Divine Armor here, which should suit you," Chen Xuan said.

At this moment, he took out six soul bones from the system space, which immediately filled the room with divine power, emitting a purple glow, shimmering and filled with a sacred aura.

Years ago, Chen Xuan created a high-end gift pack, one of which contained this set of treasures.

This is a complete set of soul bones, or more accurately, a set of divine gear. Each soul bone possesses divine power and skills. After absorption, one can gain the fastest speed on the entire continent, comparable to the power of the God of Speed.

According to the system, this can be considered a form of indirect godhood.

"Divine equipment!"

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened in shock, her heart pounding like a tsunami, unable to calm down.

Her red lips were slightly parted, and she couldn't close them for a long time; she was simply too horrified.

"Chen Xuan, how is this possible? How did you do it?" Zhu Zhuqing, who was always aloof and cold, could not remain calm at this moment because the impact of these soul bones on her was too great.

She clearly sensed that the six soul bones contained immense divine power and possessed a speed law. Any titled Douluo who absorbed them could take that step and break through to the hundredth level of soul power!
