Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 20: Ning Rongrong left in tears.

There are no soul cultivation methods on the Douluo Continent. The so-called distraction control is just a method of multitasking, and it doesn't really help improve mental strength.

As we all know, there is only one way to improve mental strength without any special skills: by throwing bricks with great force.

As for the spirit, the more it is tormented, the more it will eventually be improved.

The method Gu Rong gave was very simple: practice!

He used his own Title Douluo spiritual power to suppress Gu Xuan's spirit, causing it to continuously improve.

This method can indeed be very effective, but it can easily cause mental fatigue and, if not handled carefully, can even damage the soul.

For ordinary Soul Masters to use this as a way to enhance their spiritual power, they must endure immense pain and consume vast amounts of resources.

Compared to the resources consumed, the improvement gained is negligible.

Without professional methods, even with resources, it's impossible.

But Gu Xuan didn't need that. With the dog talisman, he could train to death.

Anyway, I won't die.

Thus, under the mental pressure exerted by the ancient banyan tree, Gu Xuan's mental resilience began to improve continuously.

Although each time was a mess, I was always making progress.

However, because it was about training mental strength, Gu Xuan found that the improvement he gained from recovering through the dog talisman was far less than the improvement he gained from self-recovery.

That makes sense. After all, relying on the dog charm's rapid recovery, the soul doesn't experience enough pain, so its strength is naturally not as effective as recovery built up in pain.

It is said that only by experiencing seven levels of loneliness can one become a true strongman.

Only by truly experiencing pain can Gu Xuan's will continuously grow stronger.

"No, Grandpa, I... I need to rest."

Gu Xuan lay on the ground, his eyes glazed over. Although he did not feel physically tired, he was extremely mentally exhausted.

After several experiments, Gu Xuan discovered that while the dog talisman was effective in truly forging mental strength, the improvement was far less than the resilience gained through slow self-recovery.

Therefore, after several comparisons, Gu Xuan basically stopped considering relying on the dog talisman to recover after his mental energy was exhausted to the limit.

Moreover, compared to being in a state of constant mental excitement when activating the talisman, this feeling of exhaustion made him feel more like a human being.

It's not that he has any masochistic tendencies or anything like that.

Even if he doesn't train, as long as his cultivation level increases, he will continue to acquire other talismans.

If he lacks strength, he can add a bull talisman; if he lacks spirit, he can add a sheep talisman. These can all help him become a powerful figure in his own field.

But he didn't intend to grow up in such a simple way.

That would make him feel that the world is too boring and has no challenge at all.

So rather than saying he's masochistically training his body, it's more accurate to say he's enjoying the process of becoming stronger.

If it weren't for enjoying the process, why would he bother with this thankless self-torture?

Lying limply on the ground, Gu Xuan's soul power unconsciously began to flow.

Then, under Gu Rong's watchful gaze, Gu Xuan's soul power quietly broke through to level sixteen.

"Goodness, in just over four months, Xuan'er, you've improved by a full four levels! If this happened outside, no one would even dare to dream of it."

Gu Rong had become somewhat immune to his grandson's talent.

It's true that I feel envious, but I feel even more gratified.

With such talent and such hard work, he even believed that Gu Xuan already possessed the potential to become a Limit Douluo, and that becoming a god was just around the corner.

If Gu Xuan can continue to persevere like this, then becoming a Limit Douluo is not impossible.

"Ha, no one else gets this kind of treatment."

Gu Xuan also sensed the change in the soul power within his body and said with a carefree smile.

Indeed, having a Super Douluo as a sparring partner means that any mistakes made during training will be quickly corrected.

In addition, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's unreserved resource allocation, anyone who isn't a complete idiot and can utilize those resources can achieve considerable success.

"Hmph, do you think you'd have the same perseverance with that kind of treatment?"

Gu Rong retorted to Gu Xuan's words, jokingly saying that his grandson was the best in the world, okay?

He wouldn't allow his grandson to belittle him.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa, I know. I'm the best in the world now, right?"

Gu Xuan wouldn't slack off just because of a momentary whim, but he'd just treat it as a way to amuse his old man.

"Haha, that's right, that's the mindset you should have. What's wrong with being confident as my grandson?"

Gu Rong said with great enthusiasm.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Gu Rong, who had been chatting and joking with Gu Xuan, looked up at the sky.

Gu Xuan followed Gu Rong's gaze and looked over.

brush!

A blue sword light flashed across the sky, and a streak of light rapidly approached from afar, only revealing its form when it reached Gu Rong.

Seeing the figure emerge from the sword light, Gu Rong subconsciously pursed his lips.

"What, you old hag, why are you flying around like that?"

Gu Rong rolled her eyes and said.

There was a strange sourness in his tone. After all, Chen Xin flying on his sword was really cool and dashing, unlike him, who, although also domineering, wasn't very popular.

"Grandpa Bone, I'm here for you too."

At this moment, a small head peeked out from behind Chen Xin, and then Ning Rongrong jumped out from behind Chen Xin.

"Hehe, Grandpa Bone, I've broken through! Now I'm a Soul Master with Soul Rings!"

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly. After a long while, a spirit ring appeared at her feet.

That's right, she came here to show off.

So what if Gu Xuan's innate soul power is higher than hers?

Miss Rongrong's talent is not bad either; she increased her soul power by one level in just two months, which made her incredibly proud.

"Uh, oh, haha, well... Rongrong is really great."

Gu Rong looked at Ning Rongrong, who had a look on her face that said "Come and praise me!", and then at her grandson, who was about to turn around and leave. In the end, she could only utter a few words.

What could he possibly say?

Ning Rongrong's talent is nothing compared to Gu Xuan's; she wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes.

It's just that Gu Xuan isn't cultivating his soul power at full strength right now, otherwise Ning Rongrong wouldn't even have a chance to see his taillights.

"You, you!"

When Ning Rongrong saw Gu Rong's perfunctory attitude and Gu Xuan's dismissive gaze, she instantly exploded.

Her big eyes instantly filled with tears, and her eye sockets turned red.

She wanted to say something, but Gu Xuan didn't even give her a chance to show it.

You should know that she had been preparing for this day for a long time, and even spent a full four hours every day cultivating.

Having failed to achieve her goal of showing off, Ning Rongrong instantly felt that all her efforts had been in vain, and she felt extremely aggrieved.

With a whoosh, it turned and ran.

This……

The two elderly people, both in their seventies, exchanged a glance without saying a word, but both understood what the other was thinking, and their attitudes were exceptionally firm.

One is too mature and the other is too naive. The only way to get them to get along is to make one of them suffer, but neither of them is willing to make the other suffer.

Gu Rong might have chosen to make Gu Xuan back down in the past, but after the lesson he learned last time, he has completely woken up.

My grandson absolutely cannot suffer any more inexplicable grievances.

"Old man, don't mind her. Rongrong is still young. Just think of it as Xuan'er being accommodating to his little sister. Tell him not to be angry."

Chen Xin could only offer this explanation in the end, then left gratefully to chase after Ning Rongrong.

This mountain road is not easy to walk on. What if you accidentally fall?

"not bad."

Gu Xuan heard the commotion behind him and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Gu Rong was alright, though.
