--- Chapter 103 ---
"We met again, kid." A calm voice snapped Han Yuan from his half-asleep and half-awake state.
Han Yuan blinked a few times before finding the God of Destruction sitting on a stone chair.
The God of Destruction smiled, "Sit down. I didn't expect you to finish the first trial so quickly. How long has it been again, three days?"
"It's three years for me." Han Yuan replied dryly, conjuring a chair with his spiritual power.
"Pfft, three days, three years! Same thing!" The God of Destruction has lived too long to care about this little time.
"Congratulations on taking a first step into becoming a God."
"Before I give you the God Bestowed Spirit Ring, have you seen anything weird with the Douluo Planet recently? Also, have you met "Tang San" after our last meeting?"
Han Yuan shrugged helplessly and replied, "No, Asura doesn't seem to be doing anything on the Douluo Continent. However, we couldn't be sure as Asura had a friendship with the Sea God Poseidon."
"Who knows if they would send a priest down to protect Tang San, so I never met that faker in person."
"But I have an update on Tang San's activity in the last three years."
"I made sure to make his life as miserable as possible..."
"Damn, kid, You really hate this guy. huh?" The God of Destruction said in awe.
Han Yuan chuckled indifferently, "Hah, you had no idea..."
The God of Destruction tapped his fingers on the stone chair, "Well, since you're acting like this, there shouldn't be any problem. I had my people's eyes on Asura, meaning he couldn't make a move."
"But you're right. Asura's relationship with Poseidon is pretty close."
"Hmm, I will warn the Moon Goddess and others to look out for Poseidon."
"Well, is that it?" The God of Destruction analyzed Han Yuan's expression calmly. "Do you have more things to share?"
Han Yuan smiled and said, "Then... Can you get Gods on your side to give Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo their trials?"
"..." The God of Destruction's mouth twitched.
"Haha, you little brat, you're really asking for the most difficult ones right off the bat."
"The gods under my ruling weren't so free to give their trials away."
"Regardless, some Gods might be interested in Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo's potential but don't expect much. Also, it might take a few days."
"A few years, huh? That's fine." Han Yuan replied calmly. It's good enough that the God of Destruction still agrees with his request.
The God of Destruction rolled his eyes upon seeing Han Yuan's satisfied look and said, "By the way, I have to remind you of something."
"The Douluo Planet has developed consciousness. It's weak and young, but you can start communicating with it."
"After all, you're the planet's son of luck."
"Mm." Han Yuan nodded casually.
"Here is the reward of your 1st Trial." The God of Destruction snapped his finger, sending a deep purple orb, the god-bestowed spirit ring, and a golden-purple scroll to Han Yuan. "Use them well."
Han Yuan accepted the reward, "I will."
Then, Han Yuan got kicked out of the God of Destruction's domain. He gradually opened his eyes and saw the clear sky.
The deep purple orb entered his body, increasing his affinity with Thunder God's position by 10%. The golden-purple scroll entered his mind, giving him the Thunder God's Divine Art, which was the divine skills of the Thunder God.
"It's time to absorb my sixth spirit ring." Han Yuan mumbled, crushing the purple crystal in his hand. He quickly summoned the Purple Silver Grass and closed his eyes.
A translucent spirit ring hovered on Han Yuan's head, shining with white light before rapidly darkening into yellow, purple, and black in a few seconds.
Han Yuan's breathing was steady because the spirit rings under 100,000- the year-old mark couldn't put much pressure on his body anymore. He has refined the Great Sun Thunder Body, an ancient body that puts the True Dragon to shame.
Although he has yet to reach that stage, Han Yuan's physical prowess is no different than that of a Title Douluo with a beast-type martial soul focused on strength.
His spiritual power is even more impressive. After improving the Mental Palace Art into the [True Spirituality Art], Han Yuan's spiritual power grew tremendously. He has reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, 19,999 units of spiritual power.
Ding!
The black spirit ring shook violently and turned crimson, illuminating the area with its redness.
Han Yuan consciously delved into the Purple Spirit Grass's ancestry roots again as he dug much deeper this time and chose the most suitable one for his martial soul.
After picking the ancient spirit beast's lineage, Han Yuan fused it with the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. He watched the "blank" spirit rings gain plant-like marks, a silver trunk with white leaves, roots, and crowns.
Swoosh!
"Heavenly Silver Tree, an ancient plant born from the Ancient Golden Tree, possesses the polar ability of destabilizing planes and turning its overwhelming life energy into destructive silver rays."
"This plant's origin also possessed immense lightning energy because it has devoured countless ancient spirit beasts with lightning attributes, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Fire Dragon King's descendant."
"And it's mine now!"
Han Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the God Bestowed Spirit Ring's increasingly heavy pressure. The red spirit ring has gained two golden marks, which signifies its age has reached 200,000 years.
But Han Yuan wasn't satisfied and wanted to increase the spirit ring's age a little more, testing his limit.
Crack!
Han Yuan felt his ribs crack slightly, but the life energy in his body quickly fixed it. The same goes every time his blood vessels and organs fail to endure the pressure.
A few minutes later. Han Yuan clicked his tongue because he could only endure up to the 269,999-year-old mark.
Han Yuan sighed helplessly and decided to absorb the spirit ring into the Purple Silver Grass, causing it to change, becoming sturdier and slicker, but more importantly, able to create a spatial disturbance.
At the same time, Han Yuan got a strong hunch that the Purple Silver Grass would evolve or awaken when he reached the Spirit Sage Realm and absorbed his seventh spirit ring.
Han Yuan closed his eyes and opened them slowly, "I have reached Level 69? Hmm, enduring the natural force like Heavenly Tribulation has its benefits, huh?"
"The immense energy from the 269,999-year-old spirit ring pushed that even further."
"Not bad at all."
"But I felt like breaking into level 70 was like a chasm now. It will take some time."
"System, open my status."
