Douluo: Starting with a self-created soul ring

**Chapter 172: Gu Ziyi Surprised**

"I received the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura!"

"I really have a chance to become a goddess!"

However, the departure of God Shura did not diminish Bibi Dong's excitement and joy at that moment.

When she first heard about the cooperation between Gu Ziyi and Da Ming, she didn't really believe that she could surpass Level 100 and become a goddess.

After all, for so many years, besides the legendary Angel God and God Poseidon, there had been no record of any other Soul Master successfully becoming a god.

There had been many extraordinary talents over the years.

The closest examples include Qian Daoliu of the Martial Soul Hall, Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect, and the priestess of Poseidon's Island.

These three were all Peerless Douluos who had cultivated to Level 99, but none of them had found a way to advance beyond that.

So, Bibi Dong hadn't been very confident before about accomplishing such a feat, thinking that what Gu Ziyi said was just a trick to deceive the group of Soul Beasts.

However, at that moment, she clearly understood that she truly had the opportunity to reach the divine level.

Because she had received the inheritance trial of a god!

Buzz—

Buzz—

At the same time, her eighth and ninth Soul Rings glowed faintly, transmitting the joy of the two Soul Beasts.

Da Ming and Er Ming, as long as Bibi Dong didn't block them, could also sense a bit of the situation in the outside world.

So, they also realized that she had just received the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura.

The occurrence of such an event shocked and surprised them greatly.

They had never imagined that she would actually have the chance to become a goddess.

The reason they agreed to cooperate with Bibi Dong was simply that they had no other choice.

It could be said that they were forced into agreeing to work with her.

Although they believed Bibi Dong had the potential to surpass Level 100 and become a goddess, they couldn't guarantee the likelihood of it happening.

Now, they truly saw that she had obtained a real opportunity from God Shura to become a goddess.

This made them excited and extremely grateful at the same time. Fortunately, they had chosen to submit earlier—otherwise, they wouldn't have this opportunity now!

"Don't worry, as long as I reach the divine level, I will never break my promise!"

After sensing their emotions, Bibi Dong smiled slightly in her heart.

After saying this, she didn't block their perception of the outside world. Under normal circumstances, there was naturally no need to do so.

When the time came to protect herself, she certainly wouldn't forget.

Besides, she believed that there were certain things they shouldn't see, and even if they dared, she wouldn't give them the chance.

Then, Bibi Dong opened her eyes.

"Younger brother, I've reached the Title Douluo level!"

After standing up gracefully, she embraced her younger brother and spoke excitedly.

She was truly thrilled to take on the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura!

However, she didn't plan to let Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others know about it yet, so she didn't mention it to her younger brother for now.

"Well, breaking through is a good thing!"

"I finally surpassed my elder sister, but now she's left me behind again!"

Gu Ziyi smiled and pretended to be dejected.

He truly envied her talent, as she was able to level up so quickly.

This time, it would be really difficult for him to catch up with Bibi Dong's Soul Power cultivation.

Now that she had reached the Title Douluo level, her future advancements would be even faster, making it nearly impossible for him to surpass her cultivation level again.

However, Gu Ziyi was also happy—after all, this was his woman.

If Tang San had reached the level of Titled Douluo now, Gu Ziyi might have been nervous!

"Alright, now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, let's head back!"

Then, Gu Ziyi and his group set off on their journey home.

There were six people when they arrived and eight when they left.

The mother and daughter pair could now also be considered human beings—after all, they had transformed into humans.

Of course, they were still Soul Beasts in essence. Even if they reached the level of Titled Douluo, they would still be Soul Beasts, because if they were killed after reaching that level, they would still explode with their hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

And they could still choose to sacrifice themselves!

If that wasn't a Soul Beast, then what would it be?

"Sealing Talisman—Condense!"

On the way back, Gu Ziyi suddenly drew a talisman in the air, then condensed a Sealing Talisman and waved his hand, placing it on Xiao Wu's body.

"Ah~ What are you doing?"

Xiao Wu was struck by the Sealing Talisman and immediately cried out.

Her mother also became instantly nervous. Was he going back on his word?

"Don't be so nervous. This is a Sealing Talisman—it's used to seal the Soul Beast aura that leaks from your body. This way, even a Titled Douluo won't be able to discover your true identity!"

When Gu Ziyi saw their reactions, he chuckled and began to explain the talisman's effect.

"I see!"

"There's really such a mystical soul ability?"

When Xiao Wu's mother heard his words and saw that her daughter indeed felt no discomfort, she was relieved and exclaimed in surprise.

To be honest, after joining the Martial Soul Hall, she had already reached maturity and was no longer afraid of being discovered.

But she was still worried that Xiao Wu might be exposed.

Even though Gu Ziyi and the others knew about their identities, as long as he kept his promise, they would be fine.

However, she was still concerned that Xiao Wu might be discovered by others, such as other Titled Douluo-level Soul Masters within the Martial Soul Hall.

If someone became greedy for her, her daughter would be in danger.

Now that Gu Ziyi was helping conceal Xiao Wu's Soul Beast aura, things couldn't be better.

"It's true. I can no longer sense any Soul Beast aura from her!"

"As expected of His Holiness the Pope—he can even hide a Soul Beast's aura!"

Poison Douluo glanced at Xiao Wu from the side and then spoke in admiration.

Before, all he needed was one look to recognize the girl's true form—a Soft Bone Rabbit—because her Martial Soul emitted the aura of a Soul Beast.

But now, all he could see was the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, while the Soul Beast aura had completely disappeared.

"It's just a skill using the Sealing Talisman."

Gu Ziyi said indifferently.

His eyes could now see the Soul Beast aura in Xiao Wu, so he set up the Sealing Talisman to cover it.

He then told the mother and daughter, "This Sealing Talisman only lasts for one month. When the time is up, you can come back to me for another one!"

"Okay, understood!"

"Thank you, Your Holiness, for thinking of Xiao Wu!"

As Xiao Wu's mother, she quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Your daughter's name is Xiao Wu, right? What is your name?"

Gu Ziyi nodded and then asked for her name.

"My name is Su'e!"

Xiao Wu's mother, Su'e, quickly introduced herself.

"Su'e? That means 'pure beauty,' right? It also has a connection to the moon? It's a beautiful name!"

(Note: Although Gu Ziyi mentions a connection to the moon, the name "Su'e" itself means "pure beauty" or "elegant simplicity." The association with the moon comes from a Chinese mythological figure named Chang'e, the Moon Goddess.)

Gu Ziyi praised her and continued, "As the acting Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, I formally welcome you and your daughter to the Martial Soul Hall!"

With this, both mother and daughter successfully joined the Martial Soul Hall.

He planned to arrange for Xiao Wu to study at the Martial Soul Hall Academy in the future, while Su'e would stay by his side.

On the way back, he also learned some information about Su'e.

The woman was currently only at Level 85, far from reaching the Titled Douluo level.

In the original novel, it was likely when Tang San was six years old that Su'e broke through, prompting Xiao Wu to transform into a human. Unfortunately, they were discovered after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, leading to Su'e being killed by Bibi Dong while Xiao Wu managed to escape.

As for Xiao Wu's father, he had died many years ago—long before Su'e transformed into a human, leaving her alone for a long time.

"Tsk tsk, if Su'e transformed afterward, doesn't that mean this mother is still a virgin?"

After understanding the situation, Gu Ziyi couldn't help but think about it for some reason.

"Perhaps she's still fresh!"

He decided that he needed to find out if things were really as he imagined.

So, after returning, he first sent Xiao Wu to the Martial Soul Hall Academy and arranged for Su'e to stay by his side to make it easier for him to win her over.

"Brother, do you know what happened to me when I reached Titled Douluo?"

That night, after checking into a hotel, Bibi Dong could no longer contain her excitement and wanted to share with her younger brother that she had received the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura.

"What did you gain?"

His heart suddenly stirred when he heard the news, and he quickly asked.

"The Nine Divine Tests of God Shura. When I broke through to the Titled Douluo level, my consciousness was pulled into a space similar to the Slaughter City. There, I met a god called God Shura, who gave me the divine inheritance trial—the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura!"

Bibi Dong immediately and excitedly recounted her experience.

"Elder sister, are you serious?"

His eyes widened in surprise.

Although Gu Ziyi had previously asked her to enter the Slaughter City for training, it was mainly to give Bibi Dong the chance to receive the divine inheritance of God Shura before Tang Chen could.

However, now that Bibi Dong had actually obtained the divine inheritance, Gu Ziyi was still very excited by the news.

It really worked.

It seemed that reaching the Titled Douluo level earlier could truly attract the attention of the God Realm.

Previously, Gu Ziyi urged her to become a Titled Douluo as soon as possible, thinking that if she couldn't obtain the divine inheritances of God Shura or Rakshasa God, she could simply switch to pursuing any other god's inheritance.

As long as it was a divine position, it would be fine.

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong had successfully received the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura.

And this was the most powerful inheritance of a God King!

It was far stronger than an ordinary god's inheritance.

To be honest, Gu Ziyi was genuinely surprised by this outcome.

In fact, Bibi Dong had essentially stolen the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura from Tang Chen.

It seemed that, up until now, Tang Chen had not returned to the Slaughter City or completed the Nine Divine Tests of God Shura.

"Of course, what do you think this is?"

Bibi Dong smiled triumphantly and, with a wave of her hand, displayed the gift she had received from God Shura.

These are nine dark red cards!

"Okay, good, Big Sister is really amazing!"

Gu Ziyi was also very excited when he saw them. He walked over to Bibi Dong, hugged her, and began to shower her with praise.

Bibi Dong responded enthusiastically, and the two excited people soon expressed their excitement in other ways.

After a long time, he also learned the content of Bibi Dong's first trial as the God of Shura.

"Brother, you asked me to practice the Death God Domain before. Did you already know something about this?"

While telling Gu Ziyi about the first trial, she didn't forget to ask him about it.

When she first learned the details of the trial, she was very surprised!

"More or less!"

"Big Sister, you've been to the Slaughter City before, so you know that the Slaughter City is not simple, right?"

"With the methods of Soul Masters, it is impossible to create a place like Slaughter City, let alone reward practitioners with their own Domain!"

"So, I had long suspected that the existence of Slaughter City was related to the inheritance of a god!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ziyi immediately laughed triumphantly and expressed his own judgment.

That was the best way he could respond. It was impossible for him to tell her that he already knew the divine inheritance of the God of Shura would be there.

He could even attract the attention of the God of Rakshasa!

"Big Sister, you said before that your consciousness was pulled into a place similar to Slaughter City!"

"It seems that what you received, Big Sister, is truly the inheritance evaluation of the god behind Slaughter City!"

"That means my judgment was correct."

Gu Ziyi continued.

"Yes, yes, my little brother is the best!"

Seeing his smug expression, Bibi Dong laughed along with him.

She then continued to ask Gu Ziyi: "Little Brother, should I continue working in the law enforcement team while cultivating the Death God Domain?"

Bibi Dong trusted her little brother, so she even asked for his opinion on something as important as the Nine Divine Trials of the God of Shura.

"Yes, Big Sister can stay in the law enforcement team for now, focusing on cultivating the Death God Domain!"

"Sister, you should be able to feel the improvement in your Death God Domain through the battles and killings you've been involved in, right?"

Gu Ziyi nodded in agreement and asked.

Bibi Dong quickly nodded: "Yes, through fighting and killing. Now my Death God Domain has evolved once!"

"That's good, then Big Sister, please continue practicing like this!"

Since it was effective, Gu Ziyi naturally let her continue practicing in this way.

Ten years is not a short time, and it shouldn't be a problem for her.

If later on, it turns out that the progress is really too slow, Gu Ziyi would suggest that his older sister return to Slaughter City to practice, where she would definitely be able to improve her Death God Domain faster.

However, it was easy to be ambushed by the God of Rakshasa there, so with so much time remaining, Gu Ziyi did not suggest that she enter Slaughter City again for now.

"Alright, then I'll listen to you, Little Brother!"

Bibi Dong lay on his chest and then said with some regret, "Originally, I was planning to start practicing the Self-Condensing Soul Ring like Sister Fei! But with my current cultivation level, the Soul Ring I would condense would take too long. I can only wait until I complete the first trial of the God of Shura!"

A long time ago, after learning about the method of cultivating a Self-Condensing Soul Ring in her childhood, Bibi Dong had wanted to try to cultivate one herself.

However, her first Martial Soul was not suitable for cultivating a Self-Condensing Soul Ring, so she never had the chance to try.

Now that she finally had the chance to practice it, she ended up encountering the Nine Divine Trials of the God of Shura!

Between the two, the first trial of the Nine Divine Trials of the God of Shura was undoubtedly the most important.

So she could only temporarily suppress her desire to condense a Soul Ring for her second Martial Soul.
