Chapter 265: A Physique Comparable to a Demigod’s

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: A Physique Comparable to a Demigod’s

"Xiao Yu, your... your... your soul rings... is this the boost from the True Dragon Nine Crowns?!"

Yu Yuanzhen, who was familiar with the True Dragon Nine Crowns, spoke in a mechanical voice.

"Indeed. After absorbing the True Dragon Nine Crowns, part of their power was infused into my body, enhancing my physique. Another part was infused into my soul rings, increasing their age. As a result, my originally all-black seven soul rings have evolved into all-red seven soul rings..."

Hearing Xiao Yu’s confirmation, Yu Yuanzhen’s expression grew even more complex.

As for Yu Luomian and Liu Erlong, they were still in a state of shock, unable to recover.

"What about your physique..."

Yu Yuanzhen, keenly catching the implication in Xiao Yu’s words, instinctively asked.

"Haha, let me put it this way, Clan Leader. Even if you used your martial soul avatar and ninth soul skill, I could withstand it with just my physical body, without using my martial soul."

"!!!!!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen, who had just regained some composure, was once again stunned.

His mind buzzed, completely unable to process this information.

To withstand his martial soul avatar and ninth soul skill with just his physical body—did that mean Xiao Yu could now defeat him with just his body?!

Was that even possible?!

As for Yu Luomian and Liu Erlong, they were completely dumbfounded.

They understood the words, but the meaning behind them was incomprehensible.

What did it mean to withstand the Clan Leader’s martial soul avatar and ninth soul skill without using a martial soul?!

Such an earth-shattering statement—why couldn’t they understand it?!

"Xiao Yu, don’t tell me... you’ve already achieved a demigod’s physique?!"

Yu Yuanzhen, barely regaining his senses, asked with great difficulty.

To this, Xiao Yu shook his head slightly, expressing some regret.

"No, not yet. The True Dragon Nine Crowns allow the user to achieve a demigod’s physique by combining the user’s life force, creating a one-plus-one-greater-than-two effect, forcibly breaking through the limits of a mortal body.

This is how one achieves a demigod’s physique. However, once the life force is exhausted, the user will inevitably die!

I only absorbed the True Dragon Nine Crowns and didn’t use my life force. Therefore, I haven’t achieved a demigod’s physique. Moreover, achieving a demigod’s physique is no easy feat. It’s a step into the realm of gods.

Even a demigod is beyond the scope of humanity, half a step into the divine realm. However, although I’m not a demigod, my current physique is far stronger than most Title Douluos.

I estimate that on the current continent, there are fewer than five people who can surpass me in terms of physique. And once I officially reach adulthood and become a Title Douluo, my physique will further improve and reach perfection. At that time, I’m confident my physique will be comparable to a demigod’s..."

According to Xiao Yu’s estimation, the only ones who could surpass him in physique were likely the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall, the 98th-ranked Golden Crocodile Douluo, who in the original story withstood several attacks from a divine-level Netherworld White Tiger without dying.

He was definitely one of the tankiest beings.

Then there were Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, and Bo Saixi, the three 99th-ranked Ultimate Douluos.

Tang Chen’s martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, so his physique was naturally exceptional.

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were divine envoys, and at their peak, they could be considered demigods.

Aside from them.

Even Bibi Dong might not be a match for Xiao Yu in terms of physique.

After all, although Bibi Dong’s martial soul was rare, it wasn’t focused on physical strength.

Hearing Xiao Yu’s explanation, Yu Yuanzhen and the others couldn’t hide their shock.

Because the implications of Xiao Yu’s words were too significant. _{free\we\bnov(e)(l).com}

So significant that they couldn’t process it.

Xiao Yu’s physique had already reached such an incredible level.

Fewer than five people on the continent could match him?!

What kind of terrifying physique was that?!

And most importantly, once Xiao Yu reached adulthood and became a Title Douluo.

His physique could grow even stronger?!

Comparable to a demigod’s physique?!

After processing this for a while, Yu Yuanzhen excitedly patted Xiao Yu’s shoulder.

His face was filled with pride and excitement.

"Good, good, this is fantastic! Xiao Yu, you’ve truly amazed me! Xiao Yu, do you want the position of clan leader? If you do, I’ll step down immediately and give it to you!"

Yu Yuanzhen said excitedly.

Xiao Yu, who could defeat him with just his physical body, was more than qualified to be the clan leader!!

"Clan Leader, you should continue being the clan leader. Xiao Yu has no interest in the position!"

Before Yu Yuanzhen could finish, Liu Erlong glared at him fiercely, making him feel helpless.

"Erlong, it’s not that I want Xiao Yu to take over as clan leader. It’s just that, since ancient times, the position of clan leader has always been held by the strongest. Since Xiao Yu is now capable of defeating me, it’s only right that he becomes the clan leader. It’s our ancestral tradition!"

"Ancestral tradition my foot! Xiao Yu isn’t even of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline. What ancestral tradition? Xiao Yu is still young. How can he be tied down to the position of clan leader for the rest of his life?!"

Liu Erlong retorted fiercely.

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Yu Luomian, hoping he would back him up.

But Yu Luomian was staring into the distance with a troubled expression, looking deep in thought.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen’s mouth twitched.

Damn you, Yu Luomian. Keep pretending, keep acting.

When there’s no trouble, you’re always challenging me and teasing me. But when there’s trouble, you play dead.

You’re quick to avoid responsibility but eager to call me ’big brother’ when there’s no issue, huh? You’re something else!

Just as Yu Yuanzhen was trying to come up with a response, Xiao Yu spoke calmly.

"Clan Leader, you should continue being the clan leader. I have no interest in the position. I value my freedom. Although I’m stronger than you, when it comes to managing the clan, you, who have been clan leader for so many years, are the most suitable.

I’m better suited to protecting the clan, not managing it. So, if the clan ever needs me, I’ll step up. But as for managing the clan, that will still be your responsibility."

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was momentarily stunned, then sighed helplessly.

Yes, Xiao Yu was still young. He had a bright future and a life ahead of him. How could he take on the role of clan leader so soon?

Forget it. I’ll continue as clan leader. After all, with Xiao Yu as the clan’s trump card, as long as he’s alive, I don’t need to be as tense and worried as before.

I can just focus on living a good life.

Perhaps in the next major sect evaluation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, with Xiao Yu’s help.

Could take the title of the number one sect from the Clear Sky Sect!

Thinking of this, Yu Yuanzhen’s face lit up with excitement.

The number one sect—that had been his lifelong dream.
