"I'm not truly a god, so how could I have a tenth Soul Ring?"
Faced with Bossi's confusion, Qin Xiao replied with a smile.
However, after hearing Qin Xiao's words, Bossi was stunned, "You haven't achieved godhood, what do you mean by that?"
She had clearly seen the Sea God's divine position along with its mighty Divine Power enter Qin Xiao's body, and now Qin Xiao was telling her he hadn't become a god?
It had to be said, this outcome was far beyond Bossi's expectations.
"Not only have I not achieved godhood, but my Cultivation Level remains at level 95. You should be able to sense that, right?"
Bossi said, "I thought I had sensed it wrong."
Yet, she still couldn't understand why all this was happening.
However.
Before Bossi could ask further, the golden light screen above Sea God's Island suddenly shattered.
...
Outside Sea God's Island.
Tang San frowned, "Has the godhood inheritance ended?"
He looked down, only to see Qin Xiao and Bossi both standing in the plaza in front of the Sea God Temple.
"Wait, something's not right; Qin Xiao's Soul Rings seem to be nine?"
Tang San noticed something unusual and immediately became agitated.
He quickly reconfirmed and came to the same conclusion as before.
"No mistake!"
"It's nine Soul Rings!"
In that moment, Tang San's heart could no longer remain calm.
What nine Soul Rings represented, Tang San, who had achieved godhood at level 100, understood all too well.
As someone who had been through it, he was certain; Qin Xiao had not become a god!
"Hahaha, Qin Xiao, I'm really curious about what kind of heinous act you've committed to anger the heavens like this. You had already started the inheritance of the godhood, yet you failed? "
"It's really karma. Truly, karma."
As Tang San laughed, tears uncontrollably slid down his cheeks.
He felt that Qin Xiao was receiving divine punishment, having committed too many misdeeds, karma had come for him.
So you see, one really shouldn't be too much like Qin Xiao.
"What on earth is Tang San going on about?"
Qin Xiao frowned.
Crying and laughing, was he going mad?
Thinking this, a murderous intent burst forth from him.
He wanted to see whether he was now capable of slaying Tang San.
"Qin Xiao, don't be impulsive; Tang San has already achieved godhood!"
Bossi grabbed Qin Xiao's arm, signaling him to stay calm.
Qin Xiao's current strength was unclear to her. However, Tang San possessed genuine God Rank strength.
In other words, no matter how strong Qin Xiao was, he was still human, but Tang San was no longer considered human.
"It's fine."
Qin Xiao gently patted Bossi's hand.
He indeed hadn't inherited the godhood.
But, he did possess another ability.
The godhood was within his body, rounding up, he still owned the godhood. Moreover, one doesn't necessarily have to inherit the godhood to use Divine Power.
"Qin Xiao, don't be so arrogant. Before I achieved godhood, I indeed had to walk around you. Even Tang Hao and I hiding in the ruins of the Hao Tian Clan were like rats underground, too scared to show our heads."
"But, that's all in the past, now everything is different. I am no longer a rat hiding in dark corners, I am a god! A god who reigns from above, the master of all life's fates!"
As Tang San spoke, his expression became increasingly frenzied. Staring at Qin Xiao, he said in a cold voice, "Now, I will pass judgment on you!"
With that, he pointed the Sky God Hammer in his hand toward Qin Xiao, "Are you not coming out to die!?"
Not coming out to die!?
Come out and die!
Tang San's voice echoed over Sea God's Island, clearly audible for tens of miles around.
Moreover, everyone felt an immense pressure in his voice, making it hard to breathe.
"How can I tolerate him being so arrogant?"
Qin Xiao gently patted Bossi's arm, "It's fine, I have a way to deal with him."
Then, in the incredulous gaze of Bossi, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from Qin Xiao's body.
"This is..."
Bossi's beautiful eyes widened, "This is Divine Power!"
"That's right." Qin Xiao nodded his head.
"Didn't you say the godhood wasn't inherited?"
"I didn't inherit it, indeed. But not inheriting godhood doesn't mean I can't use Divine Power."
Qin Xiao grinned, "Whenever I want, I can unleash God Rank strength."
As he spoke, more Divine Power burst from him.
Immediately after, this Divine Power turned into a golden Soul Ring that wrapped around Qin Xiao's nine Soul Rings.
Boom!
Above the sky, a massive golden phantom appeared, awe-inspiring.
Clad in Golden Armor, he held a Trident nearly as tall as himself in a reverse grip.
"Sea God!"
"It's the Sea God manifesting!"
"Greetings, Sea God!"
"In my lifetime, I am honored to witness the Sea God coming upon Soul Land."
"...."
On Sea God's Island, countless Sea Soul Masters excitedly knelt down.
"It's truly the Sea God!"
Bossi was also astonished.
She remembered clearly, just before, Qin Xiao was a Title Douluo of the Ninety-Fifth Rank.
"Now can you rest assured?"
Qin Xiao said to Bossi with a smile, and then he stepped into the air.
"Has he achieved godhood or not?"
Tang San was also a bit confused.
The moment before, he was very sure Qin Xiao hadn't become a god. Now he was less certain...
"Tang San, are you really asking for a fight with me?"
Qin Xiao asked in a deep voice, not caring for much else.
"Yes!"
Tang San's heart stirred, ready for battle!
Only through actual combat would he know the reality of Qin Xiao's strength.
Thinking this, he unyieldingly released his own Soul Rings.
One gold, one red, nine black.
In comparison, Qin Xiao's Soul Rings seemed much more chaotic.
