Half a day later.
Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes, and a fierce soul power fluctuation instantly spread out in all directions, turning into a clear wave of freezing that swept around, freezing many flowers and plants into ice blocks.
Feeling the vast soul power within his body, Shen Hanyu couldn't help but spread his arms and let out a long howl toward the sky. For a moment, his body felt light, and his perception sharply rose to another level.
Level 52!
This was Shen Hanyu's current soul power level. The enormous energy provided by a super soul beast of fifty thousand years had only allowed him to advance two levels. This amount of power, even for an ordinary Soul Douluo, would be enough to let them advance two to three levels.
Shen Hanyu was happy but also somewhat speechless. If he continued at this rate, he would at most break through three levels in a year, which was far too slow compared to the speed he had in mind.
Dugu Bo let out a cold hum from behind, but his eyes still couldn't hide his surprise. After a long while, he said in a bad mood:
"Kid, you owe me another big favor."
Shen Hanyu smiled and said:
"Senior Dugu, rest assured about that. Although this junior is not some pure good person, I do have the virtue of repaying kindness."
Dugu Bo's expression eased a little then, and he said in great shock:
"A top-tier soul beast of fifty-three thousand years actually only lets you advance two levels. Kid, your physical quality and the thickness of your soul power truly make this old man feel ashamed. I really don't know what kind of family could cultivate a genius like you."
Hearing this, Shen Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Senior Dugu, it's not only you, top nobles who can cultivate geniuses. My family is very small. My father is just a Soul Emperor, and my mother is merely a Soul Venerable. Perhaps this is fate. Many times, it's just this dramatic. But in less than twenty years, my family will leap to become one of the top families on the Douluo Continent, because of me. I will become an insurmountable mountain hanging over the entire continent!"
Dugu Bo glanced at Shen Hanyu, inwardly extremely shocked, but on the surface, he still maintained an arrogant and tsundere appearance of 'say what you want, I don't believe any of it anyway.'
"Humph! Kid, I only hope you don't die in some corner one day, with no one even to collect your corpse. Then we'll see what you do."
Shen Hanyu laughed heartily and said indifferently:
"There won't be that day. I will go straight up all the way. The ones who die will only be those who oppose me. By then, Senior Dugu, if you acknowledge me as your big brother, I guarantee your old age will be safe!"
Dugu Bo's forehead veins bulged from listening, but he still let out a heavy sigh. With a wave of his hand, a green cloth bag slowly floated toward Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu's eyes narrowed slightly. He had watched the anime, so he naturally knew what this cloth bag was, but on the surface, he still said calmly:
"Senior Dugu, this is?"
Dugu Bo glared at Shen Hanyu in a bad mood, then explained:
"This is the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, a storage soul tool. Your soul tool is not bad, but it's still not as good as this old man's. The biggest advantage of this soul tool is that it can hold living things. Anyway, this old man has no use for it, so I'll just give it to you, you brat. What, you're not taking it?"
Shen Hanyu looked at Dugu Bo's old face and felt an unreasonable warmth in his heart. He then caught the simply decorated Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse and said seriously:
"Thank you, Senior Dugu. By then, I'll return you a big gift."
Dugu Bo waved his hand and said disdainfully:
"This old man is a grand Titled Douluo. How could I care for the gift of a mere Soul King like you? Kid, keep it for yourself."
Shen Hanyu held back his laughter. Fine, fine, fine, Dugu Bo is so rich, is he? Then forget it. We'll talk when this old fart remembers.
Seeing Shen Hanyu fall silent, Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached and said in a low voice:
"Kid, this old man received news that a large auction house in Tiandou City is going to auction a forty-thousand-year-old right arm bone, said to be from a Diamond Wolf King. This old man just noticed that you seem to have a left arm soul bone. How about it, are you interested in this forty-thousand-year soul bone?"
Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised and said:
"Diamond Wolf King? Isn't this kind of soul beast almost extinct? There's actually a forty-thousand-year-old wolf king still surviving in the world. That's really rare."
The Diamond Wolf King is the king of the Diamond Wolf clan, a rare bloodline soul beast passed down in a single line. It carries rare metallic properties and is extremely powerful. Even an ordinary Diamond Wolf is a famous predator.
Dugu Bo nodded and said:
"This old man only got the internal news a few days ago. It's said that this Diamond Wolf King wasn't born as a wolf king but devoured an extraordinary bloodline and finally evolved to the wolf king level bloodline. Its soul ring became the eighth soul ring of an unknown Soul Douluo, and its soul bone was taken out for auction by its descendants for some reason after its death."
Shen Hanyu thought carefully, but still shook his head and said:
"Forget it. Although the Diamond Wolf King is not bad, my right arm bone must be powerful enough and can't be chosen casually. If it were a soul bone from other parts, it could be considered..."
Shen Hanyu's eyes turned, and he said again:
"Senior Dugu, you... are being too good to me...?"
"Why do I feel like you're holding something back? Well, although we've known each other for a short time, we can be considered friends who know each other well. If there's something, just say it directly."
Dugu Bo fiercely gave Shen Hanyu a knock on the head, then said with a gloomy face:
"Kid, don't be ungrateful. This old man isn't this nice to everyone. The people this old man has killed are more than the rice you've eaten..."
Shen Hanyu touched the spot on his head that was almost smoking, momentarily not knowing what to say, and could only say:
"Senior Dugu, it's best if you say what's on your mind directly. Otherwise, if you make me guess, I really don't have the mind for it."
Dugu Bo was stunned, then stared fixedly at Shen Hanyu, making Shen Hanyu feel creeped out. After a long while, he said:
"This old man hopes you build a relationship with Yan Yan."
"No, Senior Dugu, didn't you say it yourself? Your granddaughter already has someone she likes. Are you planning to break up the mandarin ducks with a stick... And I'm not that perverted..."
Dugu Bo gave Shen Hanyu another heavy knock on the head, then let out a cold hum and said:
"Building a relationship isn't just that one kind. I know about Yan Yan's boyfriend, a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. His talent is not bad, but both of them have arrogant personalities and quite a few flaws. This old man doesn't know if there will be a result in the future, but I warn you, don't even think about having ideas about this old man's granddaughter."
Shen Hanyu covered his head and smiled, then said:
"Senior Dugu, forgive this junior for being blunt. Miss Dugu Yan is not the type I like. Although I also appreciate beauty, I am not a bottomless person. And I wouldn't do something like digging someone's corner. Rest assured about this. To be honest, I have a 'child bride' back home, and I quite like that girl..."
If Shui Bing'er knew this, she would definitely curse him as a pervert...
Thinking about it feels... strange... exciting...
Cough cough, cute and soft blue-haired little loli... slurp... slurp...
Probably Shui Bing'er's little aunt never imagined that her five-year-old niece had already been reserved by a certain good person · handsome guy...
