Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 126

Chapter 126: Tang San’s Exposure, Is This Really My Son?

Gu Ziyue’s seclusion lasted for half a month.

After a full half-month, Gu Ziyue finally completed the condensation of his sixth Soul Ring.

Hum——

When the sixth Soul Ring, shimmering with black light, appeared, Gu Ziyue officially became a six-ringed Soul Emperor.

Bi Bi Dong was only level 63 at this time; it wouldn’t take long for Gu Ziyue to catch up to her.

“Is this self-condensing a Soul Ring? Amazing!”

“And it’s a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!”

Ning Shangjiang and Bai Lu were both extremely surprised after seeing the black Soul Ring appearing on Gu Ziyue.

Although Gu Ziyue’s process of self-condensing the Soul Ring was somewhat boring, they were still incredibly shocked to witness his success.

So self-condensing a Soul Ring was real.

While they had previously believed Gu Ziyue, nothing compared to witnessing it firsthand.

“Congratulations, Your Highness, on successfully condensing another Soul Ring!”

She Long then congratulated Gu Ziyue.

“How is the Soul Skill you obtained this time?”

She Long then curiously inquired about Gu Ziyue’s sixth Soul Skill.

Those who knew all of Gu Ziyue’s Soul Skills were always curious about each new one he acquired.

Because Gu Ziyue’s Soul Skills were always unexpected, essentially unique to Douluo Continent.

“Pretty good!”

Gu Ziyue laughed upon hearing this.

This time, the sixth Soul Skill he obtained truly satisfied him.

His sixth Soul Skill was the Control Thunder God Talisman; its literal meaning is the ability to summon a talisman that controls thunder.

Furthermore, this Soul Skill came with an incantation. Using it with the incantation would enhance its effect.

However, the incantation left Gu Ziyue speechless; it felt like a blatant rip-off of a legendary thunder control technique (神剑御雷真诀 – Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Technique).

Nine Heavens Xuan Sha, transform into divine thunder, glorious heavenly might, guided by the talisman!

Maybe it was because it sounded cool!

He imagined summoning the Control Thunder God Talisman while reciting the incantation – it would indeed look very impressive.

“Come, let’s go outside; I’ll show you!”

Thinking this, Gu Ziyue felt excited and immediately spoke.

She Long and the others naturally had no objections, so they left the training room and went outside.

Gu Ziyue checked the weather outside. It was overcast, with dark clouds gathering in the sky, as if it was about to rain at any moment!

“Sixth Soul Skill: Control Thunder God Talisman!”

Gu Ziyue gestured, and a talisman imbued with blue lightning appeared before him.

Crackle! Crackle!

Gu Ziyue held it; some of the lightning from the Control Thunder God Talisman flowed onto his hand, but did not harm him.

Holding the talisman, Gu Ziyue could feel the powerful electrical energy contained within it.

“Go!”

Gu Ziyue pointed the talisman forward.

Boom——

A thunderbolt as thick as a bowl instantly erupted from the talisman, striking the ground ahead.

Bang——

The area struck by the thunderbolt instantly exploded into a huge crater. Lightning crackled within the crater, and the bottom was charred black.

Simultaneously, the Control Thunder God Talisman in Gu Ziyue’s hand disappeared.

“Hiss～”

“What terrifying destructive power!”

“This lightning’s destructive power… is it even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus?”

She Long was moved by the destructive power of Gu Ziyue’s Soul Skill.

“So strong!”

“Amazing!”

Ning Shangjiang and Bai Lu exclaimed in shock. They could feel that if they were hit by this lightning attack, they would be instantly annihilated.

“Not bad!”

Gu Ziyue smiled.

He had seen the Control Thunder God Talisman without the incantation; next, he would try it with the incantation.

“Nine Heavens Xuan Sha, transform into divine thunder, glorious heavenly might, guided by the talisman!”

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

As Gu Ziyue began the incantation, the already overcast sky began to flash with lightning. By the time he finished, the entire sky was filled with swirling thunderclouds.

Zap!

Finally, as Gu Ziyue summoned the Control Thunder God Talisman, countless bolts of lightning from the sky were drawn down, merging into the talisman in his hand.

Perhaps due to the sheer amount of lightning, Gu Ziyue’s entire body was now covered in electricity, countless bolts intertwining around him.

His hair stood on end, charged with electricity, and even his eyes flashed with lightning.

At this moment, standing beneath countless thunderbolts, Gu Ziyue looked like a descending thunder god— absolutely breathtaking.

“This is impossible…”

She Long stared in disbelief.

He hadn’t expected that Gu Ziyue’s Soul Skill could actually draw upon the power of the heavens’ lightning, and even use it to his advantage.

“Wow～”

“So cool!”

Ning Shangjiang and Bai Lu were also shocked by Gu Ziyue’s ability to command the lightning, but they felt that he looked incredibly cool.

“Yeah, so cool!”

Little Peach, nestled in Bai Lu’s arms, exclaimed repeatedly at Gu Ziyue’s appearance.

Besides her admiration, she also felt a bit of fear.

A deep-seated fear, not of Gu Ziyue himself, but of the lightning.

She sensed that the lightning surrounding Gu Ziyue was similar to the heavenly tribulation experienced by a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast during its ascension.

“Not bad, combining it with the incantation is far more powerful!”

Gu Ziyue was extremely satisfied.

He had a strange feeling, like he was truly a thunder god, able to wield lightning and destroy everything at will.

However, Gu Ziyue knew this was just an illusion.

One thing was certain: his combat power had increased tenfold.

Gu Ziyue knew that this was due to the lightning from the sky; it was the power of heaven and earth that gave him such a massive boost.

However, this boost was only possible under special weather conditions.

Under normal conditions, using the incantation with the Control Thunder God Talisman would only attract a few bolts of lightning, not the overwhelming power he currently possessed.

Moreover, the power he wielded was temporary and difficult to control.

Originally, Gu Ziyue planned to quickly use up the borrowed lightning power.

But he changed his mind and immediately sat cross-legged to cultivate.

“Senior She Long, please continue to protect me!”

Gu Ziyue spoke briefly before entering meditation.

He wanted to see if he could absorb and refine the lightning from the heavens into his Soul Power.

“Is His Holiness the Saint Son attempting to refine the power of lightning?”

She Long immediately understood what Gu Ziyue was doing and was amazed at his audacity in attempting to refine the heavenly lightning.

However, he wasn’t too worried. Since Gu Ziyue could summon lightning, even if he failed to refine it, he shouldn’t be injured.

He knew of Gu Ziyue’s resilience.

Even if he were injured, Gu Ziyue could heal himself!

The experiment was a perfect success. Gu Ziyue spent a day and night refining the lightning into his Soul Power.

After sensing it, he found it equivalent to a month’s worth of his usual cultivation.

The unexpected boon greatly excited Gu Ziyue.

That night, Gu Ziyue celebrated with Ning Shangjiang and Bai Lu.

They celebrated until dawn.

…

Hao Tian Sect.

Creak～

Early in the morning, a small figure emerged from a room.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Tang San smiled.

Excellent, just enough time to cultivate.

Tang San sat cross-legged, preparing to absorb the first rays of morning sunlight – the purple qi of Ziqi Donglai (紫氣東來 – Purple Qi Comes from the East), to cultivate his Purple Sun Devil’s Eye.

Tang San waited only a moment before the sun rose, and the first rays of light fell on his face.

Tang San immediately began cultivating the Purple Sun Devil’s Eye technique, absorbing the purple qi and slowly refining it.

Feeling the purple qi in his eyes gradually increasing, Tang San was very satisfied.

At this rate, he estimated he could master the basics of the Purple Sun Devil’s Eye in a few years.

He had only started cultivating the Purple Sun Devil’s Eye a few days ago.

Before, he slept with his parents, so he couldn’t cultivate in the mornings.

Therefore, for the past year, he could only cultivate his Xuan Tian Gong.

After six months of learning, he had also mastered the language of this world.

After mastering the language, Tang San quickly learned to speak, starting with his parents. His amazing learning speed thrilled Tang Xiao and his wife.

Tang San’s well-behaved and sensible nature also pleased them greatly.

He didn’t require much teaching; he learned everything quickly.

Tang San was also happy to have parents, often clinging to them, enjoying the parental love he had lacked in his previous life.

After the initial excitement subsided, Tang San became more reserved.

A month ago, Tang San proactively expressed his desire to sleep alone.

Initially, Tang Xiao and his wife disagreed, but Tang San argued that a man should learn to take care of himself, etc.

His adult-like statements amused Tang Xiao and his wife, but they were also somewhat helpless.

After Tang San’s repeated requests, Tang Xiao finally agreed.

He thought that when Tang San got scared, he would no longer want to sleep alone.

However, his expectations were unmet; Tang San quickly adapted to sleeping alone.

Tang Xiao had no choice but to let Tang San be.

Despite his helplessness, he was also incredibly proud. His son, not yet a year old, was already so independent.

Compared to his younger brother, Tang Hao, he was far superior!

He still remembered how clingy his younger brother Tang Hao had been as a child, especially to him.

“Being able to cultivate since infancy is truly wonderful!”

After absorbing and refining the purple qi, Tang San was satisfied.

“Time to wake up Mama!”

Tang San then stood up and prepared to wake his mother to get him some food.

The small figure quickly and steadily went to the next room.

“Mama, Mama…”

Tang San called for his mother upon entering.

He knew that Tang Xiao was usually already awake and gone by this time, so he didn’t call for him.

He didn’t know that Tang Xiao was standing in the distance, looking on in shock.

“Did I see that correctly?”

“Little San, he was cultivating?”

Tang Xiao had nothing to do after waking up, so he returned.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed his son cultivating.

This left him incredulous.

Who taught his son to cultivate?

A one-year-old child, how could he understand cultivation?

And without even awakening his Martial Soul, what was there to cultivate?

But he had just seen Tang San seemingly cultivating, and there seemed to be a special energy emanating from him.

But how was this possible?

Before awakening their Martial Soul, Soul Masters couldn’t cultivate!

“What’s going on?”

“Could Little San have awakened his Martial Soul?”

“And who taught him to cultivate?”

Tang Xiao had many questions.

He originally planned to ask Tang San directly.

But he stopped, as there were too many questions.

He wasn’t sure if what he saw was real.

So Tang Xiao decided to observe for a few more days.

In the following days, Tang Xiao secretly observed his son.

The more he watched, the more shocked he became.

Besides cultivating for a short time every morning, Tang San also secretly cultivated at other times.

His cultivation postures were the same as his favorite sleeping postures.

Tang San often slept in positions similar to meditation.

Tang Xiao also asked his wife if she had taught Tang San to cultivate.

His wife said no.

Tang Xiao then asked his father, who also said no.

Finally, Tang Xiao went to his grandfather, Tang Chen.

“Little San is only one year old, how could I possibly teach him to cultivate? Xiao’er, why would you ask me this?”

Tang Chen looked at Tang Xiao sharply, noticing the unusual look on his face.

“Grandpa, I found Little San secretly cultivating!”

Tang Xiao naturally didn’t hide anything from his grandfather and immediately told him his discovery.

“What did you say?”

“Little San is cultivating?”

Upon hearing Tang Xiao’s words, Tang Chen immediately stood up in surprise.

The matter was simply too astonishing.

A one-year-old child couldn’t possibly understand cultivation.

Before awakening a Martial Soul, cultivation was impossible; this was common knowledge in the Soul Master world of Douluo Continent.

Unless Tang San didn’t need an awakening ritual and automatically awakened his Martial Soul.

But who taught him to cultivate?

…
