"A god-bestowed spirit ring?!"
Kong Deming's pupils constricted, muttering these four words, his heart filled with an incomparable shock.
It seemed the entire World's fortune was concentrated on the Douluo Continent, to the extent that there were no individuals who achieved godhood in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, and thus no legends of becoming a god.
However, after the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Continent bordered each other, legends about gods also spread.
Kong Deming naturally knew about the concept of a "god-bestowed spirit ring."
But for ordinary people, this term was not common.
Therefore, Kong Deming had no doubt at this moment that this was a fabrication by Kong Xuan to deceive him.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, no longer even thinking about continuing to check Kong Xuan's body data.
Walking in front of Kong Xuan, he asked with a serious expression, "Xuan'er, you said this is a god-bestowed spirit ring?"
Kong Deming didn't doubt Kong Xuan's words, but this god-bestowed spirit ring was clearly less than five hundred years old, which seemed a bit embarrassing for the status of a "god," didn't it?
Kong Xuan was not really a six-year-old child; he had already guessed Kong Deming's doubts.
He nodded, his expression serious, "Yes, Grandpa, and as my spirit power increases, the age of the spirit ring will also increase."
"Hiss!"
Kong Deming gasped, Kong Xuan's words, though bizarre, were the only way to live up to the name "god-bestowed spirit ring"!
Kong Deming's mind was a mess, and after a long while, he asked again, "Xuan'er, which god bestowed this god-bestowed spirit ring upon you? And how did you encounter this god?"
According to the news from the Douluo Three Kingdoms, to obtain a god-bestowed spirit ring, one should have to participate in a god's trial.
Kong Deming knew Kong Xuan's life trajectory very well; there shouldn't be any way for him to come into contact with a god.
"I don't know which god it was. On the night I awakened my Spirit, he appeared in my mind, and then I had my first spirit ring."
At this point, Kong Xuan could leverage his age advantage. Because he was young, he could be vague and gloss over many things.
Kong Deming's face showed a hint of disappointment upon hearing this. It seemed Kong Xuan hadn't received the legendary god's trial.
However, Kong Xuan's next words made his expression excited again.
"But he said that when my spirit power breaks through to level twenty, he will appear again to help me condense my second spirit ring, and after I grow into a Titled Douluo, I will be able to inherit from him."
Kong Deming's faint hope, which he originally held, now became a reality through Kong Xuan's words, and one could even say it was an over-fulfillment of the task.
He had originally only hoped to gain a hint of a god's favor, but he never expected to be able to receive a god's inheritance in the future.
What was this?
This was the path to godhood!
As long as Kong Xuan grew up smoothly, he would have a very high chance of becoming a god, just like Shrek Academy's ancestor, Sea God Tang San!
His Kong family was about to produce a god!
The Sun Moon Empire was about to produce a god!
Kong Deming's breathing clearly grew heavier, and his gaze towards Kong Xuan became fervent.
At this moment, in Kong Xuan's spiritual sea, Yun Ming had been watching the show.
Then, his slightly teasing voice came out: "It seems you had these excuses planned out long ago."
Facing this teacher who could be considered to "know him inside and out," Kong Xuan's answer was much more sincere: "This is unavoidable; a god-bestowed spirit ring is the most suitable explanation."
Yun Ming smiled, "Then, in that case, it can be considered a boost to my status."
Kong Xuan replied, "Teacher, a quasi-god is also a god."
Yun Ming raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Hmm, that's not wrong to say."
"With your top-grade Tool Spirit and Innate Full Soul Power, Xuan'er, as long as no accidents occur, becoming a Titled Douluo in the future is a certainty!"
Kong Deming's expression was serious, and his eyes narrowed as he said, "With Grandpa here, I will ensure your path to Titled Douluo is unobstructed!"
He had now made up his mind that the "protective measures" for Kong Xuan would be elevated to the highest level.
To Kong Deming's promise, Kong Xuan nodded solemnly: "I also believe I can become a Titled Douluo in the future."
He remained outwardly calm, but in reality, he was overjoyed.
His revelation about the god-bestowed spirit ring was not just an explanation, but also a hope for more attention.
After coming to this World, Kong Xuan had always lacked a sense of security, even becoming Kong Deming's grandson still felt like something was missing.
Now it was good. In Kong Deming's eyes, Kong Xuan was a future god!
Kong Xuan's importance in his heart suddenly rose to an unexpected height.
By then, Kong Xuan's two goals had been achieved.
The surprise of the god-bestowed spirit ring made Kong Deming overjoyed, but at over a hundred and fifty years old, he naturally wouldn't show his emotions like a young person, and he quickly returned to his usual calm.
His purpose today was to test Kong Xuan and Kong Ling's body data; he hadn't forgotten this matter.
Kong Xuan left the testing spirit tool, and then Kong Ling followed suit and stood on it.
Soon, lines of data appeared before Kong Deming's eyes again.
"Body strength level nine."
"Body resilience level eight."
"spirit power fluctuation level ten."
"Mental fluctuation level twelve."
...Kong Ling and Kong Xuan grew up in a small mountain village, where being able to fill their stomachs was good enough, so nutrition was naturally not something they could hope for.
Therefore, even though both of them had Innate Full Soul Power, their physical fitness lagged somewhat behind their spirit power levels.
However, when he saw that Kong Ling's mental fluctuation had already reached level twelve, a smile involuntarily appeared on Kong Deming's face.
Some talents are not something that can be affected by the external environment.
"Compatible spirit ring, three hundred eighty-four years."
The last piece of data was clearly the maximum age limit for Kong Ling to acquire a spirit ring at present.
The data displayed by the testing spirit tool may not necessarily be accurate, but to a certain extent, it definitely had reference value.
After Kong Ling stepped off the spirit tool, Kong Deming said to the two of them, "The most important thing for you two next is to strengthen your physical fitness."
He then specifically looked at Kong Ling: "Especially Ling'er, only after your physique becomes strong can you fuse with higher-aged spirit rings. My goal for your first spirit ring is six hundred years!"
In fact, Kong Deming's original goal for Kong Ling's first spirit ring was five hundred and fifty years, but after the "baptism" of the god-bestowed spirit ring, he felt he could be a bit bolder.
Kong Ling had always been indecisive, completely accepting Kong Deming's arrangements. She nodded her small head, though she didn't yet understand what a six-hundred-year first spirit ring meant.
"Grandpa, actually Ling'er has a secret that only the two of us know."
Kong Xuan suddenly interjected, attracting Kong Deming's gaze.
He could already imagine Kong Deming's shocked expression upon hearing his next words.
So, before speaking, Kong Xuan's heart was also filled with anticipation.
"Grandpa, actually Ling'er has another Spirit!"
