Seeing Sword Douluo defeated at Yang Yuan's hands, although Dugu Bo hadn't expected him to win from the start, he was still surprised.
This was because Yang Yuan had won far too easily, without even having to use that trump card of his that could suddenly make him grow larger.
"Xiao Yuan is truly becoming more and more terrifying!"
"But, when did he absorb his seventh spirit ring?"
"Could it be that he killed that rabbit?"
A look of curiosity appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
However, he quickly dismissed that thought.
Since Yang Yuan said he didn't care for Xiao Wu's spirit ring, he definitely wouldn't make a move against her.
But thinking about Yang Yuan's attitude toward Xiao Wu, Dugu Bo guessed that Yang Yuan's seventh spirit ring was likely related to her in some way.
"SeniorSword Douluo, are you alright?"
Yang Yuan looked toward Sword Douluo and asked.
Sword Douluo's Aura was withered, yet he had a look of hearty satisfaction on his face.
"Don't worry, I won't die yet. I just need to rest for a while!"
"But this battle was truly satisfying! Haha... cough cough!"
The laughter strained his wounds, causing Sword Douluo to cough violently again.
He propped himself up with his sword, his body swaying like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean.
Seeing this, Yang Yuan's seventh spirit ring flickered.
"Light of Rebirth and Destruction Samsara Tribulation!"
However, this time he only utilized his left eye.
Deep within the pupils of his left eye, a divine light erupted. It was not blinding, yet it contained an indescribable, majestic Life Force Power, accurately enveloping Sword Douluo's body.
As the divine light entered his body, Sword Douluo's frame shuddered violently.
He clearly felt an incredibly pure Life energy instantly flow through his limbs and bones, reaching every tiny meridian and acupoint.
In just a moment, the injuries on his body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His Aura, which had been listless due to the injuries, also began to climb steadily, showing signs of soaring to the heavens.
"This..."
Sword Douluo's expression was shocked.
Even with his experience, he had never seen such an instantaneous healing ability.
Even that healing-type Spirit Saint from the Nine Heart BegoniaFamily wouldn't be able to hold a candle to this.
What was even more unexpected to him was yet to come.
At the moment his Aura climbed to its peak,
that Bottleneck, which had already loosened due to this hearty battle, actually broke open a gap under the catalysis of this pure Life Force Power.
"Buzz—!"
A clear, resonant sword chime, which only he could hear, rang out as if from the depths of his Soul!
The invisible barrier that had blocked him for countless years shattered with a bang!
Majestic spirit power and peerless, sharp Sword Intent surged like a flood through a broken dam, instantly rushing into a much broader Realm.
Dazzling sword light suddenly erupted from all around Sword Douluo's body. Countless fine phantoms of Sword Qi spontaneously swirled around him, slicing through the surrounding air with a whistling sound.
A sword Dao pressure, even sharper, more extreme, and more terrifying than before, spread out!
Rank ninety-seven!
The Realm he had been stuck in for many years was broken through in a single day!
"Hahaha—!!"
Sword Douluo couldn't help but roar toward the sky. The roar seemed capable of piercing clouds and cracking stone, filled with endless pleasure and excitement.
How many years had it been? He had finally taken this crucial step.
As the roar gradually faded,
Sword Douluo restrained the astonishing Aura he had released. However, his entire spirit and essence were now completely different, like a peerless divine sword with its brilliance retracted, appearing even more profound and terrifying.
He turned solemnly toward Yang Yuan and performed a formal sword salute, his voice grave.
"Little friend Yang Yuan, that Chen Xin could break through his shackles this time is entirely thanks to the battle with you. It allowed my sword heart to become clear and glimpse the path ahead. This kindness, Chen Xin shall remember it in his heart!"
These words came from the bottom of his heart, for he knew very well that if not for this battle, it would have taken him at least another ten years to break through to rank ninety-seven.
"It was just a small effort."
Yang Yuan smiled casually and waved his hand.
Given his relationship with Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was considered an ally.
"Xiao Yuan, you brat are truly becoming more and more terrifying. You're only fourteen years old. I even suspect you are already the number one powerhouse on the continent now."
Dugu Bo flew over from a distance. While his expression was full of emotion, it was also filled with pride.
This was his, Dugu Bo's, future grandson-in-law.
"There is always someone better and a higher heaven. Who knows?"
Yang Yuan said with a faint smile.
He still had a certain understanding of his own strength.
If he went all out, the likes of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen would no longer be his match.
Di Tian might be able to cause him a little trouble, but not much.
Looking across the continent, only the Silver Dragon King posed a threat to him.
But the Silver Dragon King was still sleeping and recovering from injuries and could not act at will.
To put it bluntly,
with Yang Yuan's current strength, he could already say 'I Don't Eat Beef.'
"Hahahaha, you, you're just too modest!"
Dugu Bo laughed loudly.
Halfway through his laughter, he suddenly remembered the spirit ring he had seen Yang Yuan reveal earlier and couldn't help but say, "By the way, Xiao Yuan, when did you absorb your seventh spirit ring?"
Sword Douluo also turned his curious gaze over, though there wasn't much emotional fluctuation on his face.
Which Spirit Master didn't long for a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone?
It would be perfectly normal even if Yang Yuan had killed Xiao Wu.
However, he was truly terrifying.
To start absorbing hundred-thousand-year spirit rings from the seventh ring—how could his body withstand it?
Seeing their curious gazes, Yang Yuan smiled slightly.
"The reason my seventh spirit ring is a hundred-thousand-year ring is related to the experiment I mentioned before."
"Experiment?"
Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo were stunned, looking at Yang Yuan in surprise.
What did a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring have to do with the experiment Yang Yuan spoke of?
Could it be that this spirit ring was born out of thin air?
But Yang Yuan's next words truly subverted their understanding.
"Yes, an experiment."
"Transformed Spirit Beasts can condense their own spirit rings. So I was thinking, if Spirit Beasts can do it, can I also condense my own spirit rings?"
"As it turns out, I indeed can!"
"Hiss—" Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo sucked in a breath of cold air.
What Yang Yuan said had completely overturned their cognition.
One must know that since the spirit ring system existed on the Douluo Continent, they had never heard of any human, other than Transformed Spirit Beasts, who could condense their own spirit rings.
"I need a moment!"
Dugu Bo swallowed hard. After calming his mood, he couldn't help but ask another question.
"Xiao Yuan, is everything you said true?"
Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Yang Yuan teased, "Grandpa Dugu, is there any benefit to me lying to you? To tell you the truth, my seventh spirit ring was not only condensed by myself, but its age is as high as three hundred and sixty thousand years."
"What!"
With Yang Yuan's current strength being enough to traverse the continent, his actions had naturally become much more uninhibited.
But Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo cried out in shock upon hearing this, even forgetting to manage their public images.
"Isn't a hundred thousand years the limit for Spirit Beasts?"
"Of course not. Spirit Beasts undergo a Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years. If they pass it, they can live for another hundred thousand years."
"Of course, this is all what Xiao Wu said, but the seventh spirit ring I condensed just happened to confirm her statement."
Seeing their shocked expressions, Yang Yuan smiled.
As for the source of the information, he pushed it all onto Xiao Wu.
As a Transformed Spirit Beast, Xiao Wu's words were obviously extremely authoritative in the eyes of Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo, and they quickly accepted this explanation.
However, it was precisely because of this that the two became even more shocked.
Because Yang Yuan had just said it.
His seventh spirit ring was no ordinary hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
It was as high as three hundred and sixty thousand years!
