I am in Douluo, and the female pope uses me as her first love substitute.

Xiao Chenyu held the black fragment and did not care about the strange gaze of his father not far away. His mentality seemed to have matured a little in an instant. As if by some mistake, he slowly placed the fragment on his forehead.

Seeing this situation, Xiao's father felt puzzled, but he did not disturb his son for a while, and just watched carefully from the side.

After Xiao Chenyu put the black fragment on his forehead, he instantly felt a cold feeling, but soon the black fragment became somewhat warm on its own, emitting a strange red brilliance, and then wisps of The brilliance broke away from the surface of the black fragments and flowed into Xiao Chenyu's mind from the outside.

Swish!

Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, and then, it seemed as if a strange memory poured into his mind.

That was a young man, a young man... whose engagement had just been broken off in full view of the public...

"This is?!"

Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but widen his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have witnessed the experience of a strong man from being depressed at a young age, to unexpectedly meeting a great situation, to counterattacking and rising in three years, and so on.

Although they were just fragmentary pictures, they still made his blood boil. Combined with the flashing pictures he saw in his mind when he suddenly fell into coma, it was not difficult for him to understand that all of this came from that person. A man in black robe holding a black ruler and surrounded by strange fire.

It turned out that this black fragment actually contained the inheritance of that mysterious powerhouse!

Xiao Chenyu suddenly thought of the scene when the black fragments fell into the Douluo Continent from the endless turbulence. It seemed to be affected by some invisible force during the fall. What does this mean...

His hand holding the black fragment tightened subconsciously. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the originally indestructible black fragment suddenly became as fragile as an egg and was crushed by him. Miraculously, the black fragment did not turn into smaller fragments after being crushed. Scattered on the ground, it turned into countless black light spots.

The image of the red stream of light pouring into Xiao Chenyu's mind from outside appeared again, and the black light spots disappeared into Xiao Chenyu's forehead one after another. This time, Xiao Chenyu did not see any images in his mind anymore. I felt like there were suddenly four more balls of light in my spiritual sea.

He suddenly opened his eyes and murmured to himself.

"Explosive Steps, Baji Beng, Basic Alchemist's Inheritance and... Burning Jue Meditation Technique? What are these?"

...In short, afterwards, Xiao Chenyu was surprised to find that his soul power level had finally jumped to level ten after three years, which meant that he could hunt for the first soul ring and officially become a first-ring soul master. .

He told his father, the city lord, the general situation, and the city lord just patted him on the shoulder and asked him to continue practicing well in the future and not to reveal today's events to a third party, and then walked out of his room alone.

A few more days passed, during which Xiao Chenyu never saw his father. He only knew that when he saw his father again, he brought a middle-aged man with him, who was known to everyone in the entire Notting City. Everyone knows about the wetness and the small anus.

Although Xiao Chenyu usually did not ridicule this guy, he was always indifferent. Who knew that his father, the city lord, brought Yu Xiaoan here in private to ask him to become his teacher!

Xiao Chenyu was a little unhappy to begin with, and he was even more unhappy when he saw that the trash with a big wet jade and a small anus looked at him with a hint of disgust in addition to his "research interest". However, when he noticed that his father gave him After winking, he paused and finally agreed to accept Yu Xiaoan as his teacher.

I don’t know if it was the work of ghosts or gods, but he not only worshiped Yu Xiaoan as his teacher, but he also performed the apprenticeship ceremony to Yu Xiaoan with full courtesy, just like the black-robed man in his memory when he was a child.

His behavior undoubtedly shocked his father and Yu Xiaoan, but it also touched Yu Xiaoan's humble and fragile heart, and the master-disciple friendship between the two was initially formed.

Later, when Yu Xiaoan left, Xiao Chenyu learned from his father the reason why he wanted to worship Yu Xiaoan as his teacher.

It turns out that some of the unspoken rules of Douluo Continent are very strict. The ability of these small families, whose status is only a little higher than that of ordinary civilian soul masters, to become a local leader, like the Lord of Notting City, is basically the limit.

If a small family wants to go a step further, it will naturally need to have a strong person in the family first. However, if a small family goes a step further, it will undoubtedly touch the interests of many middle-level families. This is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be in trouble. In the world of soul masters, where the jungle prevails, provoking some strong person will lead to the annihilation of the clan.

To put it simply, it is not that the society is aboveboard and wants to restrict the progress of small families, but that if the small families themselves want to progress, they can only walk on thin ice, with very few opportunities, and once they start, they cannot stop.

Because, as we all know, absorbing higher-end soul rings as early as possible can transform the soul master's qualifications, giving the soul master more possibilities to become stronger.

If this is the case, then why, including Xiao Chenyu in the original work, do the first soul rings of many powerful men who can become soul kings or even soul emperors in the future be white? Is it because they have no power? Or is it that the Xiao Chenyu family, who was born in the City Lord's Mansion, is unable to hunt him a century-old soul ring?

The reason is actually very simple in the final analysis. Let’s not talk about grassroots soul masters. There is an unspoken rule among small families, that is, as long as any descendant is discovered to have a soul master with a hundred-year-old yellow first soul ring, it will be assumed that this family has intentions. To cultivate strong people directly, there is the idea of ​​"progress"!

Then, this small family will start to be targeted...

After all, improving a family's soul master qualifications is often not a matter of one or two generations. This makes it difficult for a small family to hide its changes and is easily discovered.

It is because of these unspoken rules that many small families can only, or dare to, just keep to themselves. Even if they can give their descendants a brighter future, they often have to absorb the ten-year white first soul ring, leaving many originally gifted people Soul masters will suffer from bottlenecks in the future.

Since there are few opportunities for trial and error, small families will not take action easily, and once they start, they are bound to not be able to stop. If they stop, they will probably end up with nothing.

Originally, seeing Xiao Chenyu's extraordinary cultivation speed, Xiao's father thought that there was an opportunity for the "Xiao family" to make progress. He was eager to change and had frequent relationships in the past few years, thinking that for his son's future The road is paved.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chenyu had a strange "soul power regression" situation, so Xiao's father could only put the plan on hold temporarily in despair.

And Xiao Chenyu's sudden change after three years has undoubtedly rekindled Xiao's father's hope.
