Chapter 36: The Limits of Talismans
Chapter 36: The Limits of Talismans
Since his soul power broke through to level 26, Gu Xuan discovered that the power of his Dragon Blast had increased to the quality of a Soul King's fifth soul ring.
Based on Gu Rong's research, Gu Xuan's martial soul quality is high enough to create a thirty-level gap with other soul masters of the same level.
What a terrifying number this is!
Even though he could only create a few levels of difference in strength back then, while others were still gloating over fighting across several levels, Gu Xuan already possessed the strength to fight across three major realms.
Ning Fengzhi is a very purposeful person and also very capable of taking action.
Since the decision has been made to give Ning Rongrong 100,000 years of lifespan when she reaches the seventh ring, then it is necessary to prepare a soul bone.
He immediately took Gu Rong and left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
There was no other way; the soul bone was too precious. Gu Rong could also teleport in critical moments, so nothing would happen to her.
Gu Xuan also had time to study his talismans.
Although there are twelve talismans, it does not mean that Gu Xuan can arbitrarily unleash the power of all twelve talismans.
Before the Tiger Talisman is returned to its place, it is impossible to use too much power. Otherwise, if several talismans with heaven-defying effects were to exert their power at the same time, Gu Xuan's fragile body would disintegrate in an instant.
He needs to test whether the three spells will cause the balance to collapse, in order to avoid any unexpected events during future battles.
The Holy Lord stone sculpture appeared behind Gu Xuan, and with the fluctuations of his will, one white light after another flashed. Gu Xuan also continuously felt the effects of the power of the talisman flowing through his body.
Soon, the power of the three spells began to operate simultaneously.
Gu Xuan felt stronger than ever before, with inexhaustible energy and spirit, and he was invincible. Coupled with the powerful dragon flames, he felt as if he were invincible in this state.
However, he was not blinded by the surge in power. Invincibility was just an illusion. With the perspective of a transmigrator, he never believed that he was invincible.
There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people; only by maintaining a thirst for knowledge can he go further.
"The power of the three talismans is already at its limit; if we add one more, the power will probably become unbalanced."
Gu Xuan came to a conclusion after examining his own body.
Without the Tiger Talisman for balance, he can only unleash the power of three talismans at a time; any more and the power of the talismans will go out of balance and rampage.
Even the Holy Lord wouldn't dare to play with something like that, so he'd better give up.
Set up the Tiger Talisman early on, so that when you encounter danger later, you can activate all the talismans and beat your opponent so badly that even their own mother wouldn't recognize them.
"Young Master, it's time to cultivate."
Just then, a powerful voice rang out from outside the cultivation room.
Gu Xuan was not surprised to hear this voice.
Although Gu Rong is gone, Gu Xuan's cultivation obviously cannot be delayed.
However, Gu Rong would never trouble Chen Xin to help Gu Xuan with his cultivation, and Gu Xuan would not agree to it either.
Although Chen Xin wouldn't refuse, Gu Xuan didn't like to trouble others since they weren't family.
So Gu Rong brought back his trusted confidant who was still hundreds of miles away overnight.
"Good morning, Lao Fu."
Gu Xuan pushed open the door and was greeted by a burly man with bulging muscles and long, fiery red hair slung back, but whose face was plastered with a fawning smile.
He was trained by Gu Rong. Although his talent was not high and he could only reach the Soul Douluo level, he was still a rare master in the Douluo Continent.
His martial soul is a flaming skull tiger, and its quality is very high. The only problem is that his innate soul power is a bit low. Otherwise, becoming a titled Douluo would definitely not be a problem.
Because of his Skeleton Martial Soul, Gu Rong would occasionally offer guidance. Although they weren't officially master and disciple, they shared a certain master-disciple bond.
Upon learning of Gu Xuan's exceptional talent and the need for him to be Gu Xuan's future protector, Afu agreed without hesitation.
Even when Gu Rong asked him to swear an oath with his martial spirit, he didn't even blink.
"Hehe, young master, come here."
After a hearty breakfast, Afu followed Gu Rong's instructions and led Gu Xuan through various training sessions.
Honestly, his eyes widened when he first saw the training plan Gu Rong gave him.
Is this definitely a day and not a month?
However, Afu was shocked after witnessing Gu Xuan's true strength.
He said that no wonder Gu Rong made him swear to be loyal to Gu Xuan to the death; if outsiders knew even a little about this talent, wouldn't that cause an uproar?
After the practical training, Gu Xuan recovered immediately, and then it was time for mental pressure training. Gu Xuan didn't do much after a morning of training, but A Fu was exhausted.
Both of them were lying on the grass. One was mentally exhausted, while the other was severely weakened in both soul power and mental power.
Gu Xuan's cultivation was nothing special; he was just a useless person.
It's only because he has a super Douluo grandfather that he gets this kind of treatment; otherwise, most people wouldn't have this privilege.
Those who have this kind of treatment can't endure this hardship.
Seeing that Afu looked exhausted, Gu Xuan raised his hand and the inscription of the dog talisman appeared in his eyes. Then a beam of white light shot directly into Afu's body.
This is a technique he has been researching recently.
He was too precious to lend out talismans unless there was a special reason.
Therefore, referencing the monkey talisman, Gu Xuan began to study the effect of talisman power being projected outwards.
After the power of the talisman broke free from the talisman, it headed directly towards Afu under Gu Xuan's guidance.
Gu Xuan looked at Afu expectantly, and instantly, the dog's runes also appeared in Afu's eyes, which were also struck by the white light.
Then the light shone brightly.
Even Gu Xuan couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Amazing, amazing, young master."
Before Gu Xuan even opened his eyes, he heard Afu's excited voice.
Gu Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Afu. He saw that Afu, who had been severely depleted of energy and looked listless, had now recovered to his energetic and vigorous state.
"How are you feeling?"
Gu Xuan forced himself to stay alert and asked.
"I feel that my soul power and mental strength have all recovered, as if I had never helped you cultivate, young master."
No, it even rose a little bit.
Ah Fu had been stuck at level 86 for a long time, and now that he finally saw a glimmer of opportunity to improve, he was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
Afu looked at Gu Xuan with fanatical eyes. His young master's ability was too terrifying. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was nothing in front of him.
With the young master's talent, he has already seen the birth of another Super Douluo. When that time comes, will the Fu family be able to legitimately latch onto a powerful figure?
"It can work, but it can only restore the current age to its peak, not to the peak of one's entire life. It seems that the power of the talisman can indeed be released and used externally, but it is only a one-time use. At the same time, its effect is far less than that of holding the talisman. It is about a level lower."
Gu Xuan muttered to himself, unable to hold on any longer, and closed his eyes to fall asleep. He would then recover his mental strength in his sleep.
Afu looked at the exhausted Gu Xuan with a complex expression in his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Carefully approaching Gu Xuan, they gently lifted him up and placed him on the recliner, then covered him with a thin blanket.
His young master is so hardworking. He can endure so much hardship at such a young age. He will definitely have a bright future.
Looking at Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan thought of his good-for-nothing son and grandson Afu, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Seeing that Gu Xuan was sleeping soundly, Afu didn't sit idle either, and quickly ran to the side to start busying himself.
