TL:advance chapter in case i don't upload tomorrow
Hearing Chen Xin's question, Jun Tianlin hesitated. He had suspected this moment would come. He could deceive others, but not Chen Xin. With Chen Xin's cultivation level, the talisman Jun Tianlin used to hide his true strength would be ineffective.
"this disciple had some adventures when i go out this time, but i've barely broke through to level 50 and obtained a 45,000-year-old spirit ring" Jun Tianlin answered evasively
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin hadn't reacted immediately, but Dugu Bo and Gu Rong were the first to get excited. Dugu Bo said "The fifth soul ring is 45,000 years old. You little monster, I was right to call you a monster!"
"Old swordsman, your apprentice is cheating.And i have evidence!" Gu Rong looked at Chen Xin with great envy. His apprentice was six years older than Jun Tianlin but ten levels lower. The gap was simply too big
"My apprentice have a lot of advantages. Which one are you talking about?" Chen Xin glanced at Gu Rong and replied. As a master, he had never denied that his apprentice was exceptional.
While everyone was celebrating, Ning Fengzhi remained thoughtful. After a moment, he suddenly ordered "Xiaotian, release your second martial soul for us to see."
"Uh!" Jun Tianlin was stunned when he heard that
"You are good at changing the subject, making Uncle Gu and the others only notice the fifth spirit ring of your Demon-Suppressing Sword, but you overlooked a very important factor. You were at level 45 when you came down the mountain. How did you rise so many levels in such a short time and break through to the Soul King level? You once said that the medicinal power in your body was too much, and you couldn't take the immortal grass in a short time. Then, the only way I can think of is that you have already started to add spirit rings to your second martial soul, and then use the power of the spirit rings to increase the level dramatically!" Ning Fengzhi explained
Jun Tianlin's heart tightened. As expected, he could deceive Gu Rong but it was impossible to deceive the wise Clan Head Ning.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Chen Xin looked at Jun Tianlin with a mix of anger and worry. They had warned him many times not to add soul rings to the Holy Spirit Pearl casually. This was not only wasteful but also dangerous for Jun Tianlin's health.
He feared that Jun Tianlin might suffer the same fate as the first person in history to have twin martial souls, who had exploded and died. What worried him even more was that since Jun Tianlin had risen by ten levels to nearly level 55 then it was impossible that he had absorbed only a ten thousand year spirit ring.
Chen Xin couldn't help but worry about Jun Tianlin's health and future. This was a reckless act
Jun Tianlin, under the gaze of Ning Fengzhi and the three Titled Douluo, knew he couldn't hide the truth anymore. Luckily, the people in front of him were all trustworthy, so there was no harm in exposing the truth.
Jun Tianlin raised his left hand, revealing his Holy Spirit Pearl. A snow-white soul ring appeared. Upon seeing this Gu Rong, who had a hot temper, could no longer hold back "A ten-year soul ring? Xiaotian, what are you doing? Did you ignore all our repeated warnings? You ruined your future just to become stronger for a while."
"Little monster, can you tell me why? The you I know is not such a reckless person!" Dugu Bo was also heartbroken. He wanted to protect Jun Tianlin and help him grow into the strongest, but he could only defend against external enemies and not stop Jun Tianlin's own reckless behavior
Just as Jun Tianlin was about to explain Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to interrupt them "Uncle Gu, Uncle Dugu, don't worry, that's not a ten-year spirit ring."
"How can an ordinary ten-year soul ring push Jun Tianlin's soul power to the Soul King level? And have you forgotten that the strongest ability of my Nine Treasures Glazed Tower and in addition to its auxiliary ability, is its treasure appraisal ability? My tower tells me that Xiaotian's soul ring is unprecedentedly precious."
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he stared at Jun Tianlin's soul ring. He could sense something extraordinary in it. This white soul ring, which appeared to be ten years old, emitted a faint golden light.
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly "So that's how it is. The real color is gold—no, to be exact, platinum!"
"According to the records of a former leader of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, golden light has appeared twice on the continent. The first time was on the sea, a blue-gold ring. The second time was before the establishment of the Spirit Hall, which was golden."
"Xiaotian, your spirit ring is related to God, right?"
Ning Fengzhi's insight revealed the truth. Jun Tianlin couldn't hide anything in front of him. Uncle Ning had guessed correctly. A soul beast becomes a god after a million years and though the Tian Meng had not survived the divine calamity or gained divine status, its cultivation had reached the level of an ordinary god.
"God!" The three Titled Douluo were shocked and looked at Jun Tianlin. That word symbolized the greatest power in Douluo Continent. How could it be related to a child like Jun Tianlin?
'Damn it, Xiaotian, is your Clan Head also cheating? You had big advantages in terms of strength, but he had a big advantage in terms of intelligence. It's over, we can't hide it this time!' Tian Meng immediately wailed
'It's okay, Brother Tianmeng. If someone else finds out, we're finished. But the people here are my most trusted relatives' Jun Tianlin reassured him.
"Uncle Ning, since you've discovered it, I won't hide it any longer. This spirit ring of mine is not a divine ring but it comes from a million-year-old spirit beast that has not survived the heavenly tribulation. Its name is the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."
Jun Tianlin slowly recounted his experiences from the past few days with minor modifications, only concealing the matter of the Lingzhu Divine Sword and the ferocious beast. Even so, the four knowledgeable people were stunned.
"A million-year-old soul beast. I didn't expect that this legendary being actually exists!" Ning Fengzhi said with a wry smile "It seems the plan that Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, and I originally made needs to be adjusted. I thought it would take you at least forty years to become a Titled Douluo, but now it seems that you might reach that level in your twenties."
Chen Xin nodded "Indeed, Xiaotian not only has terrifying talent, but also unprecedented opportunities. He may have been born with destiny and is destined to become a god."
"Haha, then we are the protectors given to him by God, right?" Dugu Bo laughed. He was really glad at this moment that he had joined the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. With Jun Tianlin's character of repaying favors, he would surely get a share of the benefits when he became a god
"Don't be too quick to be happy. I cannot use my Holy Spirit Pearl for the time being. Otherwise, if I'm discovered by outside forces, I'm done for. So for now, I can only use the Demon-Suppressing Sword. Before you get too happy, you should listen to the fifth soul skill of my Demon-Suppressing Sword" Jun Tianlin reminded them
Ning Fengzhi and the others then remembered that not only had Jun Tianlin obtained the first soul ring of the Holy Spirit Pearl but his Demon-Suppressing Sword had also gained the fifth soul ring. They had been so overwhelmed by the revelation of the million-year soul ring that they had forgotten to ask about his new soul skill.
