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

Chapter 7 Can't this guy live without being a little arrogant?

Xin Ya looked at Guang Ling beside her and frowned, asking, "What are you doing here?"

Guang Ling said, "I'm just a peak Douluo; I can go wherever I want!"

Actually, when the King of Slaughter opened the entrance to Hell Road, Glorious was watching from the sidelines of the battlefield.

The red mist released by the King of Slaughter was useless against him, a peak Douluo, so he took advantage of the opening of the entrance to Hell Road and jumped in.

The King of Slaughter naturally knew that Lightfeather had jumped in.

However, he was an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall with a high level of soul power, and the King of Slaughter was not one to offend him, so he turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it!

Upon hearing Guang Ling's words, Xin Ya rolled her eyes: "Yes, yes, you are the strong one, whatever you say is right."

Guang Ling glanced at her: "I helped you, and you just brush me off with this insincere remark?!"

"What did you do to help me?"

Xin Ya looked at him, puzzled.

Guangling scoffed, "If I hadn't been continuously releasing ice energy to cool you down and keep you awake, you would have been roasted alive by the high temperature of the magma here. What have I done to help you?!"

Only then did Xin Ya remember that below this Hell Road was a pool of churning, flowing lava, which faintly emitted a bloody smell.

She stood up, intending to walk to the edge of the platform to take a look.

Guangling also stood up and pulled her back, saying, "Don't look down! There's a bottomless abyss below. If you get too scared to walk, I won't carry you!"

Xin Ya looked at him and asked, "Why did you come down with me?"

"Shall I come down with you?"

Guangling scoffed, "I've never seen the Hell Road of this Slaughter City before, so I came down to take a look. What makes you think you're so special that I'd come down with you!"

Xin Ya stared at him suspiciously.

Guangling ignored her, turned and walked forward, saying as she went, "If you want to be roasted, then stay there!"

Xin Ya still didn't move.

Just as the man was a meter away from her, the cool, pleasant sensation she had been feeling vanished instantly, replaced by a burning heat.

Omg!

It was only then that Xin Ya realized how hot it was outside without Guang Ling's ice-attribute cooling effect—at least forty or fifty degrees Celsius!

She immediately ran quickly towards Guangling, keeping a distance of about one meter behind him.

Guangling knew that this little girl would definitely follow him, because few people could withstand the scorching heat of this Hell Road!

He is of the ice element, which is perfect against the intense heat of magma.

Therefore, Guangling was not worried at all that Xinya would not follow him closely.

A slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips as he thought to himself: Little brat, let's see where you can run now!

The two walked forward for a while.

Xin Ya suddenly remembered the 100,000-year-old right leg bone she was rewarded for completing the first assessment.

Her second test was to slay the Bat King and the giant snake, and she knew that the Soul Bone skill could be used here.

If I absorb that soul bone now, I'll have two skills to use, which will be of great benefit in completing the second assessment later!

But then Xin Ya thought, that was a 100,000-year-old soul bone. If she took it out now and Guang Ling saw it, would he try to snatch it?

She knew that soul bones were a rare commodity on this continent; even a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was priceless, let alone a one-hundred-thousand-year-old one!

He and Guangling had only known each other for a short time and did not have a deep friendship.

Xin Ya thought it was perfectly normal for him to snatch it!

But if I could have this 100,000-year-old soul bone skill now, it would really be a great help to me!

Just as Xin Ya was struggling with whether or not to absorb the soul bone now, Guang Ling noticed that the little girl behind him had been silent for a long time.

He suddenly stopped and turned around.

At this moment, Xin Ya was looking down, thinking about whether or not to absorb the soul bone, and did not notice that Guang Ling had stopped. She bumped straight into him.

Given the little girl's current height, her head bumped right into the man's waist and abdomen. Guang Ling instantly took a deep breath.

Xin Ya realized what was happening and didn't dare to look up.

She stammered nervously, "I...I...I didn't mean to, I...I didn't know you would suddenly stop!"

Guangling quickly placed his large hand on her head and scolded, "Don't move!"

The little girl immediately froze.

Guangling paused for a moment, took a step back, and then asked, "What are you doing?"

"what?"

Xin Ya looked confused: "I wasn't doing anything, I was just walking."

Guangling said irritably, "I'm asking why you were silent just now, what were you thinking about?"

"I……"

The little girl bit her lip, hesitating whether or not to mention the soul bone.

Guangling said directly, "Just say what you want to say, I'm not going to eat you!"

After thinking it over, Xin Ya decided to take the gamble.

If Guangling really wants to take her soul bone, she should just give it to him for the sake of her life. But after leaving Hell Road, she will never have any contact with this person again!

Seeing that she still had her head down, Guangling said impatiently, "Are you going to tell me or not!"

Xin Ya raised her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I have a 100,000-year-old right leg bone. I want to absorb it here first. Could you...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Guangling narrowed his eyes slightly, interrupting her and asking with disbelief, "A 100,000-year-old soul bone? You have one?"

Xin Ya nodded, then timidly took the soul bone out of the system's storage space.

It was only after obtaining this soul bone that she realized that the Heaven-Defying Comprehension System actually had a storage space, which was equivalent to the storage soul tool on this continent.

She was overjoyed when she found out about this storage space!

Because it saves you the Soul Coins needed to buy a storage Soul Tool, since storage Soul Tools aren't cheap on this continent!

The moment Xin Ya took out the 100,000-year-old soul bone, a dazzling light instantly shone forth.

As expected of a soul bone that is 100,000 years old, even its light is exceptionally dazzling!

At this moment, the little girl stared intently into Guangling's eyes, trying to detect any hint of his intention to snatch it.

However, Guangling's icy blue eyes were very clear, filled only with disbelief.

Because he never expected that a little girl would have a soul bone that was 100,000 years old!

"How did you obtain this soul bone?"

Guang Ling simply couldn't believe that a low-level Soul Master like her could kill a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast!

Xin Ya thought for a moment and said, "I obtained it by accident. Anyway, it was obtained through legitimate means. I didn't steal or rob it."

Guangling scoffed, "You, a mere level twenty-something Soul Master, think you can steal and rob? What a joke!"

She knew that Guangling always looked down on low-level Soul Masters, but Xin Ya was too lazy to argue with this arrogant guy!

Seeing that she remained silent, Guangling didn't bother to investigate the origin of the soul bone any further.

He said directly, "You want to absorb this soul bone, right? Then absorb it now. It's your honor to have a peak Douluo like me protecting you!"

Xin Ya rolled her eyes inwardly. Would this guy die if he didn't act arrogantly?

However, she did not expect that Guangling had no desire to snatch the soul bone at all.

Could it be that I've been judging a gentleman by my own petty standards?
