Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 89 The Sixth Test

The incense stick that was lit at the beginning had been knocked to somewhere unknown, and as the attack ended, the two men fell to the ground together.

Tong Rui was panting. Both his soul power and mental strength were almost exhausted after this attack.

Tang Chen on the opposite side was not feeling well either. He barely blocked the attack after four of his rings exploded, but the damage caused by the toxins in his body could only be maintained in a balance by relying on a small amount of Shura power.

However, with the huge consumption of soul power and the mental power being dissolved a lot by this attack, Tang Chen could no longer suppress the toxins in his body, and he aged visibly.

Tong Rui looked at Tang Chen and asked, "Senior Tang Chen, I should have passed the assessment."

As he spoke, he released his second soul skill, consuming his limited soul power to restore the vitality and mental strength of the two.

When his soul power was almost exhausted, Tong Rui stopped the treatment.

Tang Chen recovered, suppressed the poison in his body and said, "Hahahaha, of course, not only did you pass, you won this battle."

Tong Rui smiled and said, "If Senior Tang Chen hadn't been poisoned, I would have been defeated quickly in this battle."

Tang Chen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to comfort me. I know my own strength. Go back to the Shura Sword and accept your sixth test."

The two of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the Shura Sword.

"The fifth test of the Nine Tests of Shura. I persisted for one stick of incense under Tang Chen and completed it in excess."

"Winning the battle against the demigod high priest will earn you an extra reward, increasing your soul power by one level and your Shura affinity by 30%. The overall level is currently 60%."

As the reward was issued, Tong Rui's soul power level immediately increased to the peak of level 84. As the Shura Mark bloomed, the content of the sixth test was also issued at the same time.

"The Sixth of the Nine Tests of Shura. Cultivate your martial soul to the Nine Rings level and complete the soul rings and soul bones. The time limit is two years. The reward for completing it is a 20% increase in Shura affinity."

Seeing Tong Rui accept the test, Tang Chen said, "It seems that your sixth test is the easiest one. However, you have to upgrade to level 6 in two years and complete your spirit rings and spirit bones."

"Not only do you need to set aside time to condense your soul power to operate your core, you also need to set aside time to condense your soul rings, so you must control the time and progress of your cultivation."

Tong Rui nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior."

After that, Tong Rui left the Slaughter City and returned to the sect. On the way, Tong Rui thought about how to break through the title within two years.

If it was just to reach the Titled Douluo level, Tong Rui felt that it would not be difficult. He had countless ways to reach level 90.

But the key lies in the two-year deadline. It is still unclear how long it will take for the second soul core and the ninth soul ring to condense, so let's temporarily set it to one year.

Then I only have one year left to improve my soul power level.

Tong Rui felt it was a bit difficult to improve five levels in one year. Although his cultivation was getting faster and faster, the soul power he needed to accumulate at this stage was also increasing.

Therefore, he needed to absorb the remaining two hundred thousand year soul bones in advance and upgrade his Vulcan Moth's left arm bone to the hundred thousand year level.

In this way, with a full set of soul bones that are over 100,000 years old, one can maximize one's ability to absorb soul rings, and raise the last ring to an extremely high level to feed back the increase in soul power level.

Tong Rui hurried on his way while thinking, and soon returned to the sect.

As usual, a meeting was held first. In the past year and a half, not only did Tong Rui reach the age of 20, but the strength of everyone in the sect also made a substantial leap.

Although the Xingchen Sect cannot gather the life energy of the entire continent in one place like Shrek in the future, the concentration of soul power within the sect has reached an extremely high level.

With the help of the lotus soul guide left by Tong Rui and a large number of sky star vine beads, Tong Qingtian's cultivation speed is almost the same as that of Shrek's golden tree house ten thousand years later.

In a year and a half, his soul power was successfully increased by two levels, reaching the peak of level 89, and he only needed to condense his soul core to break through the title.

Although the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao had no props to assist him, the sect also provided a large number of elixirs, and with the help of the elixir formulas and medicine prescriptions accumulated by Tong Rui over the years. Although his soul power was weak, he successfully reached the peak of level 89, and only needed a little polishing to become the weakest title.

Tong Rui's mother Mo Yun also successfully broke through level 80, and when she obtained the eighth soul ring, she also happened to obtain a soul bone. But unfortunately, her soul bone slot was full, so she could only add it to the sect's treasury.

Dugu Yan, Shimo Shimo, and Ye Lingling, who were of the same generation as Tong Rui, have also reached the Soul Emperor level and are currently training with all their strength in the sect. The accumulation of titles is very slow, so Ye Xiong still only has level 91 soul power, while old man Shi Duantian has reached level 92.

As for Shi Xiaolong, the former patriarch of the Black Tortoise Family, he is busy handling official duties every day and now has only level 83 soul power.

Seeing everyone sitting down, Tong Rui also asked, "Has there been any changes or improvements in the sect recently?"

Ye Manhua said, "With the retreat of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, a large number of soul masters have joined the Spirit Hall, but many auxiliary soul masters have also joined our sect."

Lou Gao also said: "As soul guides become more and more popular among low-end soul masters, more and more blacksmiths have joined our sect."

Mo Yun also mentioned Star Academy: "The first class of Star Academy is about to graduate. Except for the heirs of various forces, almost all of them have chosen to join the sect."

After hearing this, Tong Rui said, "It is possible that there are people planted by the Spirit Hall or other major forces. We should first place them in the sect for observation. After confirming that they are all correct, we will then admit them into the inner sect."

"The sect's current core heritage is still based on the master-disciple teaching model. In the future, all members of the sect's inner circle should be true elites of the continent."

"Also, what changes have occurred in the various forces on the mainland recently?"

Shi Duantian said, "Our sect has been developing soul guides as usual, but as more and more people learn how to use soul guides, the market vacated by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has also been eaten up by other forces."

Tong Qingtian said worriedly, "The Spirit Hall is going to re-select the seven major sects, and has also sent us an invitation letter. In addition, the Haotian Sect has also come out of seclusion due to some unknown stimulus."

"Finally, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect also reappeared in the Eastern Principality, very close to the headquarters of the Haotian Sect."

Tong Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect reappeared? The Haotian Sect also appeared, but how did our sect discover the Haotian Sect's residence?"

Tong Qingtian said helplessly: "When we were expanding the sea area in the east, we wanted to go around the mountains and sunset forests, continue to explore southward, and regain our power. But we happened to encounter a village where the Tang clan gathered. We wanted to regain this village and continue southward, but we found that the people there were all disciples of the Haotian Sect."

"Our sect disciples were detained there, and it was Elder Shi Duantian who finally realized something was wrong and went there personally to bring them back. As for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, we learned about it through monitoring Ning Rongrong."

Tong Rui thought for a moment and said, "So, the reason why the Haotian Sect came out is, firstly, because they have exposed their location, and secondly, they may have some kind of agreement with the Qibao Liuli Sect."

"Ning Fengzhi is not a fool. He knows that jumping out at this time is obviously seeking death. Most of the more than 500 disciples who escaped were direct disciples. It is not difficult to rebuild a sect."

“But whether it is that the base is close to the Haotian Sect and is suspected of forming an alliance with the Haotian Sect, or that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect dares to reappear in the soul master world, it means that Ning Fengzhi is confident of protecting the remaining disciples.”

"Excluding the possibility that they have powerful weapons, only Chen Xin and Gu Rong, the two Douluo, have broken through, or Ning Fengzhi has broken through to the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda? But this is also a good thing. With them attracting firepower, the Spirit Hall's preferred target will never be us."

“I guess these two sects also think so. They think that our sect is too big to attract attention, and the Spirit Hall will not sit idly by. Tsk tsk tsk.” Tong Rui shook his head.

Mo Yun looked at Tong Rui and said with a smile: "In addition, all the major colleges have tended to disband in recent years, so does Xingchen College need to expand its scale?"

When Tong Rui heard about the disbanding of the academy, he couldn't help but think of the Five Elements Academy and said, "Excluding the Elephant Armor Sect, contact the remaining Four Elements Academy and recruit as many people as possible. The academy really needs to expand its scale."

"Open up the connection between the Frozen Forest and the area outside the Star Sect that is heading towards the Far North. In the future, the academy will be built in the forest and mountains. If there are any environmental problems later, we can use soul guides to centrally develop and artificially change them."

Then Tong Rui looked at the elders and said seriously: "Finally, it is the development strategy of Xingchen Sect. From now on, battle armor and forging can be displayed, but only those who are truly trusted and have a close relationship can be taught technology or battle armor can be forged."

"I will take time out to forge the three-character battle armor in the first half of the year, so Elder Lou Gao, please help me refine the metal during the forging process."

It was said that Lou Gao was invited to help refine the metal, but in fact it was just a euphemism for inviting Lou Gao to come and learn.

As expected, Lou Gao was very excited to accept the opportunity to observe soul forging up close.

"Now, in terms of high-end combat power, we are already on par with the Pope's Palace, but we still need to be vigilant against the Super Douluo in the Worship Palace. I hope you can urge your disciples to improve their strength as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo asked curiously, "Equal in terms of high-end combat power? Then how strong are you now?"

After hearing this, Tong Rui smiled confidently and said, "I have already embarked on the path to becoming a god."

Upon hearing this, the elders present had different expressions: shock, excitement, confusion, and sudden enlightenment were all mixed on their faces.
