Chapter 16 Soul King (Please add to your favorites and vote for this chapter)

Half a day later.

Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes, and a chilling wave of soul power instantly spread outwards, transforming into a distinct ice that swept across the surroundings, freezing many flowers and plants into ice blocks.

Feeling the immense soul power within him, Shen Hanyu couldn't help but open his arms and let out a long roar. Instantly, his body felt light, and his senses were elevated to a whole new level.

Level 52!

This is Shen Hanyu's current soul power level. The enormous energy provided by the 50,000-year-old super soul beast only raised him by two levels. This power would be enough to raise an ordinary Soul Douluo by two to three levels.

While Shen Hanyu was happy, he was also somewhat speechless. If things continued at this pace, he would at most break through to the third level in a year, which was far slower than the speed he envisioned.

Dugu Bo snorted coldly from behind, but his eyes still betrayed his surprise. After a long pause, he said in an annoyed tone:

"Kid, you owe me another big favor."

Shen Hanyu smiled and said:

"Senior Dugu, please rest assured. Although I am not a purely good person, I still have the virtue of repaying kindness."

Dugu Bo's expression softened slightly, and then he said with considerable shock:

"A top-tier soul beast with a lifespan of 53,000 years only raised you by two levels, kid. Your physical attributes and the sheer strength 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."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hanyu was taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Senior Dugu, it's not only top noble families like yours who can cultivate geniuses. My family is small; my father is only a Soul Emperor, and my mother is only a Soul Venerable. Perhaps this is fate. Many times, things are just this dramatic. However, 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, his heart filled with shock, but on the surface he still maintained an arrogant demeanor, as if he didn't believe anything anyway.

"Hmph! Kid, I just hope you don't die in some corner one day, with no one even to collect your body. Let's see what you do then."

Shen Hanyu laughed heartily and said nonchalantly:

"That day will not come. I will rise straight up, and only those who oppose me will die. When that day comes, Senior Dugu, you will acknowledge me as your elder brother, and I guarantee you will live a peaceful old age!"

Dugu Bo's forehead veins bulged, but he then deflated heavily, casually waving his hand, and a green cloth bag slowly floated to Shen Hanyu's side.

Shen Hanyu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had watched anime and naturally knew what the bag in front of him was, but on the surface, he remained calm and said:

"Senior Dugu, what is this?"

Dugu Bo glared at Shen Hanyu with annoyance, then explained:

"This is the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, a storage soul tool. Your soul tool isn't bad, but it's still inferior to mine. The biggest advantage of this soul tool is that it can hold living things. Anyway, I don't need it, so I might as well give it to you, you brat. What, aren't you going to take it?"

Looking at Dugu Bo's aged face, Shen Hanyu felt a surge of warmth in his heart for no reason. He then took the simply decorated Ruyi Treasure Pouch and said earnestly:

"Thank you very much, Senior Dugu. I will return the favor with a generous gift in due time."

Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively and said:

"How could I, a titled Douluo, possibly be interested in a gift from a mere Soul King like you? Kid, keep it for yourself."

Shen Hanyu suppressed a laugh. "Fine, fine, Dugu Bo is so rich, huh? Then forget it. We'll deal with it when this old Bi Deng remembers."

Seeing that Shen Hanyu remained silent, Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached and whispered:

"Young man, I've received word that a large auction house in Heaven Dou City is going to auction a 40,000-year-old right arm bone, supposedly from the Wolverine King. I just noticed that you seem to have a left arm soul bone. So, are you interested in this 40,000-year-old soul bone?"

Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised and said:

"The Wolverine King? Isn't this kind of spirit beast almost extinct? It's really rare to find a 40,000-year-old wolf king still alive in the world."

The Wolverine King is the king of the Wolverine clan and a rare bloodline soul beast. He possesses a rare metal attribute and is extremely powerful. Even an ordinary Wolverine is a renowned predator.

Dugu Bo nodded and said:

"I only received inside information a few days ago. It is said that this Wolverine Wolf King was not born a wolf king, but devoured some extraordinary bloodline and eventually evolved into a wolf king-level bloodline. Its spirit ring became the eighth spirit ring of an unknown Soul Douluo, and its spirit bone was auctioned off by its descendants after its death for some reason."

Shen Hanyu thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said:

"Forget it. While the Wolverine King is not bad, my right arm bone must be strong enough; I can't just use any other part of the soul bone..."

Shen Hanyu's eyes darted around, and he said again:

"Senior Dugu, you're... being too nice to me...?"

"You seem to be holding something in your heart. Well, although we haven't known each other for long, we're pretty close friends. Just tell me what's on your mind."

Dugu Bo delivered a powerful dunk over Shen Hanyu's head, then said with a grim expression:

"Boy, don't be ungrateful. I don't treat everyone this kindly. The number of people I've killed is no less than the number of meals you've eaten..."

Shen Hanyu touched a spot on his head that was almost smoking, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he could only say:

"Senior Dugu, it would be best if you just said what you want to say. Otherwise, I really don't want to guess."

Dugu Bo was taken aback, then stared intently at Shen Hanyu, feeling a chill run down his spine. After a long while, he finally spoke:

"I hope you can get involved with Yan Yan."

"No, Senior Dugu, didn't you say your granddaughter already has someone she likes? Are you planning to break them up...? Besides, what I'm doing isn't that perverted..."

Dugu Bo delivered another powerful dunk to Shen Hanyu, then snorted coldly and said:

"There are other ways to get involved besides this one. I know Yan Yan's boyfriend. He's a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. He's quite talented, but both of them are too arrogant and have quite a few flaws. I don't know if things will turn out well in the future, but I'm warning you, don't even think about making a move on my granddaughter."

Shen Hanyu covered his head and laughed, then said:

"Senior Dugu, please forgive my bluntness, but Miss Dugu Yan is not my type. Although I do appreciate beauty, I am not without principles, and I would never do something like stealing someone else's girlfriend. You can rest assured about that. To be honest, I have a 'child bride' back home, and I quite like that girl..."

If Shui Bing'er knew what he said, she would definitely call him a pervert and a scoundrel...

It's weird...exciting... just thinking about it...

Ahem, a cute and delicate blue-haired little girl…slurp…slurp…

Shui Bing'er's aunt probably never imagined that her five-year-old niece had already been reserved by a kind and handsome guy...
