Chapter 28: Qian Daoliu's Misunderstanding
Ye Cheng walked up to Zhu Zhuqing, raised his hand, and summoned the two soul bones in front of her, signaling for her to take them.
"Teacher, this is…?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two floating soul bones of exceptional quality but didn't reach out to accept them. Instead, she looked at him in confusion.
"They're yours. Take them," Ye Cheng said.
"This… these are too precious. I can't accept them." Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly shook her head in refusal. After all, soul bones were treasures that every soul master dreamed of obtaining.
A single ordinary soul bone was enough to cause bloodshed in the soul master world.
Let alone these two, which were of such high quality what had she done to deserve them?
[Wow! He's just giving away such valuable soul bones?!]
[This teacher is way too generous.]
[I wish I had a teacher like this.]
[Why are you hesitating? If you don't want them, give them to me!]
A flood of bullet comments filled the screen.
In reality, Zhu Zhuqing watched the video with deep emotions, thinking about how fortunate her future self was to have such a powerful teacher.
This was a soul bone, a treasure countless soul masters fought over!
And yet, he was giving them away so easily.
What other teacher could be this generous?
On the other side, Tang Hao was watching as well.
Seeing Ye Cheng use his two soul bones as "medical expenses," he was so enraged that he nearly lost his mind.
Even though he knew those bones were essentially the price of his life, the thought of them falling into someone else's hands made his blood boil.
But no matter how furious or unwilling he was, there was no way for him to reach into the video and change anything.
In the end, Zhu Zhuqing still accepted the two soul bones.
Seeing this, Ye Cheng nodded and said, "These two soul bones are only around seventy to eighty thousand years old. Their quality is decent, but just decent. I don't recommend you absorb them. Keep them for now. In the future, whether you gift them to someone or trade them for treasures, they will be useful.
"When you reach the Soul King level, I will prepare a gift for you."
[A gift?]
[What kind of gift requires waiting until she becomes a Soul King?]
[Wait a minute! He just said these seventy to eighty thousand year old soul bones aren't 'that great'… Then does that mean…]
[Could his 'gift' be… a hundred thousand year soul bone?!]
[Hold on! If we count, he has two martial souls, each with ten hundred thousand year soul rings!]
[A hundred thousand year soul beast always produces a soul bone…]
[That means he must have at least ten hundred thousand year soul bones!]
[A soul master can only absorb six soul bones, which means he has at least four extra hundred thousand year soul bones! Maybe even more!]
[No wonder he wasn't interested in Tang Hao's soul bones. If I had that many hundred thousand year soul bones, I wouldn't care about those either.]
The comment section exploded with admiration and envy.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao read the comments with a blank expression.
Especially the ones about ten hundred thousand year soul rings and soul bones…
In an instant, he finally understood why he had been utterly powerless against Ye Cheng in the video.
As someone who also had a hundred thousand year soul ring, Tang Hao knew better than anyone how much a single one could enhance a soul master.
A soul master with a hundred thousand year soul ring didn't just gain more powerful soul skills their soul power, physical attributes, and overall combat ability were elevated to an entirely different level.
A soul master of the same rank with a hundred thousand year soul ring could easily crush one without it.
And Ye Cheng had ten hundred thousand year soul rings.
Not to mention that he also had at least six hundred thousand year soul bones, which further enhanced his body, attributes, and gave him twelve soul bone abilities.
Adding all of this together…
The boost in strength was beyond comprehension.
With such overwhelming advantages, how could Tang Hao possibly win?
Suddenly, losing didn't seem unfair at all.
If anything, it was a miracle that he had lasted even a few exchanges.
With Zhu Zhuqing accepting the soul bones, the video finally ended.
The live stream faded out and disappeared.
Although the Q&A session had concluded, the information revealed shook the entire world.
Spirit City – Douluo Hall.
This was a grand palace that radiated majesty.
Despite its lack of lavish decoration, the entire structure was built from ancient stone that gleamed with a faint golden light.
Anyone who touched it could feel a strange energy pulsing through their palm.
At the very center of Douluo Hall stood a massive ten meter tall golden statue.
It depicted a six winged angel holding a colossal sword aloft, pointing toward the heavens.
A soft golden flame curled around the blade.
This was the most sacred place for soul masters.
Only those who had reached Titled Douluo status were qualified to enter.
At this moment, the vast hall was silent.
A solitary figure stood beneath the angelic statue, gazing up at it.
This was an elderly man, tall and dressed in simple gray robes.
His long silver hair flowed down his back.
Despite his plain clothing, his presence alone dominated the hall.
He was Qian Daoliu the Grand Worshipper of Spirit Hall and one of the world's four Ultimate Douluo.
He was the inheritor of the Angel God's legacy and the true master of Spirit Hall.
"That Ye Cheng…"
"There's no doubt… he possesses a God's Inheritance!"
Qian Daoliu replayed the scenes from the video in his mind.
Among all the clues that Ye Cheng had unknowingly revealed, the most crucial was this
He was simply too strong.
As an Ultimate Douluo, Qian Daoliu carefully estimated their difference in power.
And he came to a terrifying conclusion even he himself wouldn't be able to defeat Ye Cheng.
That soul ring configuration…
It was inhuman.
Even though he also had Twin Martial Souls, absorbing nine hundred thousand year soul rings was impossible.
The human body had limits.
No soul master could withstand that much power unless some other force was sustaining them.
Qian Daoliu thought long and hard.
The only possible answer was… divine power.
No mortal body could bear ten hundred thousand year soul rings.
Only a God could do that.
That meant…
Ye Cheng had definitely inherited a God's position!
