Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 56: Breakthrough Soul King, Inner Courtyard is a Sky (Please Order First!)
Shu Yan did not choose to go out in the past two days. Absorbing the left leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Sea-Swallowing Whale King did not allow him to be distracted by other things. Shu Yan simply chose to retreat for a few days. He also took this opportunity to break through the last barrier and enter the Soul King realm in one fell swoop.

The enhancement that a hundred thousand year soul bone brings to the body is enormous, but at the same time, the resentment of the soul beast remaining in the soul bone is also a huge trouble for the soul master.

After all, it was the resentment of a hundred thousand year old soul beast. Shu Yan took great efforts to suppress and purify it. At the same time, his soul power also took a step forward and directly entered the Soul King level.

After finishing his retreat, the loudmouthed Wu Ming spread the news of Shu Yan's breakthrough to Soul King in less than a day.

For a moment, the entire inner courtyard was in an uproar and shock.

You know, Shu Yan skipped studying in the outer courtyard and entered the inner courtyard directly not long ago. Now he has become the undisputed number one of the new generation in the inner courtyard.

In just over half a year, Shu Yan has created too many miracles, each one more shocking than the last. It can be said that he is now completely at the top of the discussion list among students in the inner and outer courtyards. As long as his name appears, it will definitely be a hot topic.

Even his past with Han Ruoruo was dug out by some "powerful" students. Now, students who support them as a couple are all over the inner and outer academies. He and Han Ruoruo have inexplicably ascended to the throne of Shrek's model couple. Some people have even started to spread rumors that Han Ruoruo is preparing to return to Lingdou City to take care of the baby. The level of rumors was so shocking that Shu Yan couldn't help but cover his face and wanted to run away.

And now Shu Yan, who is less than twelve years old, has already broken through to the Soul King level. This kind of talent has made countless people dumbfounded, especially the first-year students in the outer courtyard. They looked up at the sky and felt that the world had become dim.

Other people's twelve-year-olds are surrounded by beautiful girls and are brimming with honors, while their twelve-year-olds are toiling away every day running around in circles and attending classes, even having to worry about freshman assessments, fearing they'll be rejected or expelled if they're not careful. How can this be compared? There's absolutely no comparison!

Countless people looked up to the sky and howled, feeling a heavy shadow pressing down on their heads. This shadow came from Shu Yan...

……

At this time, Shu Yan, the peerless genius that countless people talked about, was sitting on the sofa with a helpless look on his face, watching Wu Ming apologize with a guilty look on his face.

Han Ruoruo was also sitting on the side. She gently pinched her eyebrows, her tone also full of helplessness:
"Ming'er... A Yan has only been at the Soul King level for less than two days, and you've already spread the news throughout the academy. I'm very curious, how on earth did you do it?"

Wu Ming sat obediently aside. Upon hearing this, a look of grievance appeared on her face, and then she whispered:
"Sister Ruoruo, I didn't mean to do that. You know, my cousin is in the third grade at the Outer Court. She asked me about Shu Yan, and I told her everything in a fit of rage. Who knew that little girl was even more talkative than me? The news spread all over the Outer Court that day..."

"you……"

Han Ruoruo sighed softly, then said softly:
"Forget it. It doesn't matter if they know. Even if you don't tell them, the news of A Yan's breakthrough will spread throughout the academy sooner or later."

As she spoke, Han Ruoruo turned her gaze towards Shu Yan, and then asked softly:

"Ayan, what do uncle and aunt mean?"

Shu Yan paused for a moment, then said:

"They plan to take me to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain the fifth soul ring these days. However, they seem to have some things to deal with before that. I haven't been able to contact them often in the past two days."

Han Ruoruo nodded slightly, then said:

"It's naturally best to have your uncle and aunt lead you in soul hunting. The ten thousand year old Thorn Dragon soul ring absorbed by your fourth soul ring is no less powerful than an ordinary thirty thousand year old soul ring in terms of energy. Now that you have broken through to Soul King, your fifth soul ring must be at least fifty thousand years old. Le Xuan and the others have been busy lately, so having your uncle and aunt here saves us from having to form a team again." Wu Ming was stunned when she heard that Shu Yan's fifth soul ring was about to absorb a soul ring over fifty thousand years old. Then she sighed softly and said with some envy:

"I have to say, your physical fitness and mental strength are truly enviable. It took me, a senior sister, a seventh-level spirit ring to absorb a 50,000-year spirit ring, but you, a fifth-level spirit ring, absorbed a spirit ring that only my seventh-level spirit ring could absorb."

Shu Yan chuckled, then said softly:

"Senior sister is not bad either. With your physical fitness, the eighth ring must be at least 70,000 years old, and the ninth ring can fully absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring. With your talent, if you add another 100,000-year spirit ring, you will definitely become a Super Douluo in the future, and even reaching the level of Master Xuan is not impossible."

Hearing this, Wu Ming rolled his eyes at Shu Yan, and then said softly:
"I don't want to think about the 100,000-year spirit ring, senior sister. To be honest, I have a clear self-awareness. My family is not that strong, and the academy is even less likely to hunt a 100,000-year spirit beast for me.

"Look, even Senior Sister's 100,000-year spirit ring was obtained by chance. In the entire inner courtyard, it is estimated that only Senior Sister and Ma Xiaotao will be able to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring through the academy in the future. No one else is qualified."

When saying this, even though Wu Ming had tried his best to control himself, his expression still showed a hint of depression.

A hundred thousand year spirit ring is extremely important to a spirit master. A hundred thousand year spirit ring can develop and raise the upper limit of a spirit master to a great extent. A Titled Douluo with a hundred thousand year spirit ring will always be stronger than a Titled Douluo of the same level without a hundred thousand year spirit ring.

Han Ruoruo could understand Wu Ming's thoughts and feelings very well. The students in the inner courtyard were all extremely talented, and each of them had strong forces supporting them. They understood better than anyone else the importance of a hundred thousand year spirit ring to a Titled Douluo, but sometimes reality was just so cruel, and learning to accept reality was a lesson that every powerful spirit master must go through in their life.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? Senior sister, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe there will be a turning point in the future."

Shu Yan still had a smile on his face, and then he looked at Wu Ming and said softly.

Wu Ming curled his lips, then casually lay down on the soft sofa behind him and said:
"Whatever. I've let it go. I just want to find a man to live a good life with. As for other people, they'll come if we're meant to be, and they'll go if we're not. I don't care about them that much..."

Han Ruoruo covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this:
"That's right, Ming'er, you should find a boyfriend as soon as possible. It's not a good thing to be single all the time. People who don't know you might think you like girls..."

Wu Mingteng sat up suddenly and then shook his head like a rattle.

"No way, no way. I'm already old. I can't learn the ideas of those young people in the outer courtyard. I still want to find a boy I like. Forget about girls..."

Han Ruoruo's smile did not diminish, and then continued to tease:
"Do you think it's not right to be mean to girls, or do you really have this idea?"

Wu Ming was tongue-tied and had no idea how to refute Han Ruoruo for a long time. After a while, she finally said quietly:

"To be honest, the reason why I don't accept girls is very simple, that is, I think girls may not be able to satisfy me..."

After the words fell, the room fell into a long silence...
