Douluo Continent: With my extraordinary comprehension, I want to be a salted fish.

Chapter 13 How many secrets do you still have?

Upon hearing Xin Ya's words, Guang Ling's face instantly darkened: "Yes, it's indeed none of my business, but I'm just being nosy!"

"Absorb whatever you want, I won't even bother to collect your body when you die."

After saying that, he turned around and sat down on the ground next to him, cross-legged and closed his eyes.

He was sitting within a meter of Xin Ya.

After closing her eyes, Guangling cursed herself in her heart: I must be a fucking idiot. I've been insulted by this bastard like this, and I still have to sit within a meter of her!

I should move aside, stay a meter away from her, and let her get roasted!

But he himself didn't know why, he just didn't dare to move more than a meter away, afraid that the little thing would really be burned to death by the blood pool magma.

When Xin Ya heard what he had just said, she suddenly felt that she might have gone a bit too far.

After all, that arrogant person was only trying to stop him because they were worried about him.

The little girl glanced at him a few times, remembering how he had helped her before.

Finally, she sighed, walked over and sat down in front of him, and asked weakly, "Are you angry?"

Guangling kept her eyes closed and didn't say anything.

Xin Ya said softly, "Okay, okay, I know you're worried about me. I shouldn't have said that to you just now. It was my fault."

"Didn't you pinch my cheeks before? My cheeks still hurt a little, so we're even, okay?"

Hearing this, Guangling slowly opened her eyes and looked at both sides of her cheeks. The marks from her large hand pinching her cheeks were still there.

I feel a little guilty!

He said calmly, "If you want a spirit ring, I can hunt one for you after we get out—either a hundred or a thousand years old, it's up to you."

"But you shouldn't absorb this inner core yet. You can put it away for now and absorb it when you reach level 50 and can withstand a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"

Xin Ya looked into his eyes and saw worry in them.

After thinking for a moment, she decided it would be better to say something to reassure him before absorbing the inner core.

"When you opened the Hell Road, didn't you hear the King of Slaughter say that I was a divine hunter chosen by the gods?"

Guangling raised an eyebrow and gestured with her chin, indicating that she should continue.

Xin Ya continued, "I am indeed a chosen Celestial Hunter. The reason I am in the City of Slaughter is because becoming a Hunter requires completing a mission."

"Participating in and winning a hundred Hell Slaughter Arenas is my mission, slaying the Bat King and that giant serpent is also a mission, and now absorbing this inner core to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring is also a mission!"

The girl thought to herself: I can't completely lie to him, after all, those were indeed the assessment tasks I had to complete. It's just that I'm not a Celestial Hunter, but the successor of the Asura God!

Upon hearing her words, Guangling narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Then how did you convince the King of Slaughter that you are a Celestial Hunter?"

Xin Ya said, "Do you remember when we fought that giant bat, when its sonic attack came at me, a red protective barrier appeared on my body? That was the power of the Celestial Hunter."

"The day I met you in the corridor, I suddenly appeared in the King of Slaughter's room. The King of Slaughter attacked me, and the Hunter's protective barrier appeared on my body. The King of Slaughter saw it, recognized the power, and therefore believed me!"

Guangling understood, and he had indeed seen the red protective barrier himself.

That also reasonably explains why a young girl like her would appear in the City of Slaughter!

Guangling then asked, "Are you sure you can really absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring?"

Xin Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry, the process will definitely be a bit painful, since my soul power level is low, but it will absolutely not endanger my life!"

A smile finally appeared on Guangling's face as she said, "Alright, then absorb it now. I'll watch over you."

The little girl nodded.

He took the inner core out of the system space again, swallowed nervously, and then, with a death-defying spirit, put the inner core of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

She immediately closed her eyes and began to channel her inner energy to dissolve the inner core of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent. Guang Ling watched the little girl with tense eyes.

Soon after, Xin Ya's skin began to change from its original translucent white to a light pink.

A look of intense pain began to appear on her delicate, fair face, and even her upright posture became unsteady.

Cold sweat began to pour from her forehead!

Guangling clenched his fists; he had never been so nervous before!

Suddenly, the small mark of the Asura Divine Sword on Xin Ya's forehead lit up.

At the same time, the Asura Divine Sword appeared from behind her.

However, the divine sword was no longer its ordinary form; it had reverted to its original two-meter-long, blood-red giant sword.

Guangling looked at the dark gold shimmering demonic patterns on the giant sword, and he could feel the extremely sharp killing aura emanating from it.

He was immediately shocked by the appearance of the blood-red greatsword!

Although Guangling didn't recognize it as the Asura Divine Sword, he knew it was definitely not an ordinary longsword.

It seems this is the sword's original appearance; the little thing had hidden its true form before!

The man's icy blue eyes gazed intently at the little girl in front of him.

He took out a handkerchief from his storage soul tool and reached out to wipe the sweat from Xin Ya's forehead. "Little thing, just how many secrets do you still have!"

At this moment, Xin Ya's consciousness entered another cold space.

The space was filled with a strong smell of blood. The cold feeling combined with the strong smell of blood made the little girl shudder!

Suddenly, countless painful sounds began to appear in Xin Ya's ears, howling and screaming in desolation.

Just then, something flashed through the little girl's mind.

When she opened her eyes in that space, the surroundings instantly turned fiery red, and the domineering flames of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent were completely suppressed by the Asura Divine Sword.

At that moment, a mechanical voice from the system appeared in Xin Ya's mind.

[Prompt: Due to comprehending the profound meaning of the Asura Divine Sword's judgment and punishment, the host has automatically comprehended the Purifying Fire that cleanses the world of sin.]

[Notification: Your comprehension is extraordinary! Congratulations, host, your soul power level has increased by one level. Your current soul power level is twenty-seven.]

[Note: Due to comprehending the profound meaning of the fire poison within the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent's inner core, the host has automatically gained poison immunity.]

[Note: Your comprehension is exceptional. Congratulations, host, your soul power level has increased by one level. Combined with the five-level increase in your soul ring level, your current soul power level is thirty-three.]

The system's mechanical noise disappeared, and Xin Ya's consciousness returned to her body.

She slowly opened her eyes, stood up, and a black, ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring rose from beneath her feet.

The blood-red giant sword flew in front of her, her long silver hair fluttered, and her eyes turned red.

"First Soul Skill, Sword Arises, Purifying Fire Domain Barrier."

The moment Xin Ya finished speaking, the giant sword transformed into a red and blue light screen, enveloping her and Guang Ling and forming a defensive barrier.

Looking at the defensive barrier, Guangling exclaimed in admiration, "This defensive skill is pretty good!"

Xin Ya also thought it was good and nodded in agreement with a smile.
