Chapter 137: Versailles Scene
Three days later, Wang Chengkun had basically mastered the surging spirit power within him after advancing to Titled Douluo.
Afterward, Wang Chengkun went to the Heaven Dou Military Department; this time, he was there to resign.
Although he was now a Titled Douluo, he had been with the Heaven Dou military for so many years, and Emperor Xue Ye, his boss, had treated him well. He still needed to show this respect and couldn't just quit without a word.
"Oh? Old Wang, how come you have time to visit today?"
Marshal Ge Long was handling official business when he saw Wang Chengkun come to the Heaven Dou Military Department today, and he immediately became curious.
Ge Long knew that Wang Chengkun's spirit power level had reached level 89 before, and he had delegated his duties in the Second Legion to cultivate diligently at home. He didn't expect him to come now—had he broken through?
"That's right, I was fortunate enough to break through this time."
Wang Chengkun appeared humble on the surface, but he was very proud internally.
Of course, in Ge Long's eyes, that was just showing off.
"Good heavens, I didn't expect you to become a Titled Douluo!"
Ge Long's face showed envy. When he was young, he was also a genius, but unfortunately, compared to true geniuses, he was still a step behind, possessing only innate level eight spirit power.
Although he had received extensive training from the Heaven Dou Empire, due to his innate talent, he had been stuck at the level 89 Spirit Douluo bottleneck for several years. He estimated that he had no hope of becoming a Titled Douluo in this life.
He never expected that Wang Chengkun, who used to be far inferior to him, had seen his spirit power level skyrocket like a rocket in just a few short years and was now a Titled Douluo. No wonder he couldn't see through him just now.
"Haha~, just luck~ just luck~"
Indeed, if it weren't for his good son, he would at most be an 89th-level Spirit Douluo in this life. And now, Wang Chengkun believed that his future spirit power level would definitely exceed level 95.
"Old Wang, no, Your Excellency~, from now on, you are the only Titled Douluo in our Heaven Dou military."
Ge Long said excitedly, this was something to be proud of.
"I came here this time to resign. From now on, I plan to focus on cultivation at home. After all, every level of Titled Douluo is a hurdle~!"
Wang Chengkun discovered that after advancing to Titled Douluo, the difficulty of spirit power cultivation skyrocketed, making it impossible to advance one level per year as before.
It was possible that each level could take several years, and this was even with the talent boost from a 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone. Otherwise, it would be unthinkable.
"What? Resign? Oh, right, he's a Titled Douluo now, so it's normal."
Hearing that Wang Chengkun planned to resign, Ge Long was first shocked, but then he realized that since he had become a Titled Douluo, the Heaven Dou military might not be able to accommodate such a prominent figure.
After all, he, the Marshal, was only an 89th-level Spirit Douluo. Did Emperor Xue Ye want to confer the title of Marshal on Wang Chengkun as well? Wouldn't that imply that Spirit Douluo and Titled Douluo were on equal footing? That wouldn't do; perhaps Wang Chengkun would feel insulted!
If he were removed and Wang Chengkun became the Marshal, not only might Wang Chengkun not value the position, but Emperor Xue Ye wouldn't do that either. After all, his trusted subordinate hadn't done anything wrong, and he couldn't let his subordinates feel disheartened.
So, Wang Chengkun's resignation now was beneficial to everyone.
Moreover, with Wang Chengkun's strength as a Titled Douluo, would he lack status? Absolutely not!
Titled Douluo are revered as Your Excellency because their powerful strength alone grants them a high and respected status; even a national emperor must treat them with courtesy.
Of course, the gap between a powerful Titled Douluo and a weak Titled Douluo is also vast.
For example, Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even though the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is located within the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Yuanzhen doesn't pay any heed to Emperor Xue Ye, and Emperor Xue Ye dares not say much.
However, the Heaven Dou Empire is also quite special; Emperor Xue Ye's strength is not strong, unlike the Star Luo Empire's emperor, White Tiger Douluo Dai Tianli.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were in the Star Luo Empire, Yu Yuanzhen would absolutely not dare to disregard the emperor, as the Star Luo Imperial Family's strength surpasses that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Because the Star Luo Dai family and Zhu family have intermarried for generations, not to mention how many Titled Douluo the Star Luo Imperial Family specifically has, just two Spirit Douluo using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique—Hell White Tiger—possess battle power above that of a Titled Douluo.
"Don't~, we've been old friends for many years. It makes me uncomfortable to hear you call me Your Excellency."
Having worked together for many years, coupled with Marshal Ge Long's good character, their relationship was quite good. Calling him Your Excellency would make it too formal.
"Haha~, Old Wang, then I won't be polite. Oh, right, why didn't you notify us when you went to obtain your ninth spirit ring? Otherwise, if we had helped you, perhaps the quality of your ninth spirit ring could have been even better."
Although the Heaven Dou Empire's military doesn't have Titled Douluo, there are quite a few Spirit Douluo. They team up to hunt for their ninth spirit ring. Putting aside other things, as long as they cooperate well, they can still defeat a 90,000-year Spirit Beast.
"That won't be necessary. War Spirit Douluo took me to acquire my ninth spirit ring, so I didn't call you all."
Speaking of his ninth spirit ring, Wang Chengkun felt blissful just thinking about it. He was led by four Titled Douluo; perhaps only the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall had such treatment!
Moreover, Wang Chengkun knew that the former Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji's spirit rings were only black 10,000-year spirit rings! Comparing them, he felt that his treatment was even better than the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall?
"So War Spirit Douluo led the team? That means the quality of your ninth spirit ring is very good, then?"
Ge Long's eyes lit up. In Heaven Dou City now, anyone with a bit of status would know War Spirit Douluo, who serves as a Royal Enshrinement. This War Spirit Douluo is much stronger than the other Enshrinement, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
This is a major figure with a 100,000-year spirit ring, while Dugu Bo, it is said that his ninth spirit ring is only over 70,000 years old. Although his previous spirit rings are also optimally configured, he is still far from the limit.
"Hehe, it's just a 100,000-year spirit ring, nothing worth mentioning~!"
Wang Chengkun was very pleased internally, but he didn't show it on his face, acting as if there was nothing to brag about.
As he spoke, Wang Chengkun directly released his Spirit: Xuan Tie Armor, and nine spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red, glowed.
"A hundred~ a 100,000-year spirit ring?"
Ge Long looked at Wang Chengkun's red ninth spirit ring, his eyes immediately widened, and he said in astonishment.
"Haha, I was lucky. In the Star Dou Great Forest, I just happened to encounter a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape."
"Hiss~!"
Ge Long looked at Wang Chengkun's humblebragging scene and felt sour, completely sour.
This was a 100,000-year spirit ring. Titled Douluo with 100,000-year spirit rings are few and far between across the entire Douluo Continent. He never expected Wang Chengkun not only to be lucky enough to become a Titled Douluo but also to possess a 100,000-year ninth spirit ring.
A big shot, absolutely a big shot!
Ge Long knew that Old Wang's family was about to become formidable. As long as Wang Chengkun didn't die, his spirit power level would definitely break through to level 95 and above.
A 100,000-year spirit ring can enhance a Spirit Master's talent, which is one of the reasons why 100,000-year spirit rings are sought after by all Spirit Masters. Not to mention, with a 100,000-year spirit ring, perhaps the Spirit Bone of that Titan Giant Ape is also on Wang Chengkun?
"Old Wang, have you thought of your Titled name?"
"I've already thought of it. From now on, I am Xuankai Douluo!"
". . . As long as you're happy~."
Actually, this Titled name, at first listen, feels a bit awkward, but the more it's called, the more natural it will become.
Soon, the news that Wang Chengkun had become a Titled Douluo and possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring quickly spread throughout the Heaven Dou Military Department.
"Have you heard? The commander of the Second Legion has broken through to become a Titled Douluo!"
"Do you even need to tell me? I even saw the red 100,000-year spirit ring!"
"Really?"
"Get lost~! I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be fake?"
"Hiss~, our Heaven Dou Empire has gained another Your Excellency, and one who possesses a 100,000-year spirit ring."
In the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Wang Chengkun and Ge Long arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and found Emperor Xue Ye.
"Oh? Why are you two here? Has Star Luo caused trouble again?"
Seeing Wang Chengkun and Ge Long, two high-ranking military officials, arrive together, Emperor Xue Ye's first reaction was that another war had broken out.
"Uh~, no, Your Majesty, this time it's good news!"
Ge Long quickly explained.
"What good news?"
Emperor Xue Ye was also puzzled.
"Your Majesty, I have broken through to Titled Douluo."
Wang Chengkun spoke.
"Oh? You've broken through to Titled Douluo?"
Emperor Xue Ye's face immediately filled with joy.
Due to the Clear Sky Sect being annihilated by Spirit Hall a few days ago, he had been in a bad mood recently. Every day he felt terrified and couldn't sleep well at night, fearing that he would wake up the next morning to news that Spirit Hall was going to destroy the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, Spirit Hall's previous annihilation of the Clear Sky Sect had truly frightened Emperor Xue Ye.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect's stronghold was not far from Heaven Dou City. Since Spirit Hall could destroy the Clear Sky Sect, they could also destroy the imperial family. How could Emperor Xue Ye not be afraid?
He never expected that someone within his own ranks had become a Titled Douluo today. This was truly great news.
Although the addition of one Titled Douluo still wouldn't allow the Heaven Dou Empire to defeat Spirit Hall, it could at least boost their confidence, couldn't it?
Instantly, Wang Chengkun released his Spirit: Xuan Tie Armor, and nine spirit rings glowed on his body, among which the red 100,000-year spirit ring was particularly dazzling.
"Good heavens! And it's a 100,000-year ninth spirit ring?"
Emperor Xue Ye never expected such a huge surprise—a Titled Douluo possessing a 100,000-year spirit ring, which is extremely rare across the entire Douluo Continent.
"I must also thank War Spirit Douluo; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill a 100,000-year Spirit Beast."
Not to mention a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape, even a 90,000-year Spirit Beast, Wang Chengkun couldn't defeat on his own.
"It was War Spirit Douluo! Very good~!"
Emperor Xue Ye understood. He thought to himself that if there hadn't been a Titled Douluo leading the team, there would have been no chance of obtaining a 100,000-year spirit ring.
Moreover, this expert couldn't have been ordinary, as even a regular Titled Douluo is no match for a 100,000-year Spirit Beast.
