Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 120 Returning Home, Old Man Breaks Through

Once the starting players are determined, there will be no more personnel changes. The next six months or so will be a time for them to train and get used to each other.

This means that in the next six months, they will reduce various tasks and prepare for the competition wholeheartedly.

Although they now have three destined Soul Saints, they will not be proud of it, because what Mr. Mu said is true, if Shrek has such an opportunity, other academies may also have it.

Although Zhou Sichen knew some inside information, there was no need to say nonsense at this time. It was just the right time to put some pressure on them and train these geniuses.

Zhou Sichen's requirements for them are not as simple as described in the original book, he also has some selfish motives.

Although they are all studying at Shrek, it would undoubtedly be best if a seed could be planted in their hearts, a seed with Zhou Sichen as the core and willing to follow him.

So far, several people have succeeded.

The players he personally selected are highly recognized for their strength and talent.

After confirming the main players of the Shrek team, Zhou Sichen spent a lot of time training and integrating them.

Targeted training based on each person's ability, and team training to hone their teamwork.

Zhou Sichen's time also became a straight line, with every day full and fulfilling.

By the end of the first semester, Zhou Sichen's soul power level had reached level 48, and his soul engineer level had successfully broken through to level 7, becoming a level 7 soul engineer.

In terms of the cultivation of soul guides, after reaching the seventh-level soul guide, Zhou Sichen needs more accumulation and learning, but this is not difficult for him.

The only drawback is that the resources provided to soul mentors by Shrek are far inferior to those of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Even though Zhou Sichen is a top-level seventh-level soul engineer, his accumulation of knowledge about soul guides is still some distance away from that of the seventh-level soul engineers of the Sun-Moon Empire.

However, Zhou Sichen didn't particularly care about this. He studied soul guides not in order to make some top-level soul guides.

Because the limitations of soul guides are still significant, even the most advanced soul guides are still just a pile of scrap metal to gods.

So when the soul guide device encountered some bottlenecks, his focus naturally returned to his martial soul.

In the future, when Shrek has enough information on soul guides, or when he becomes strong enough, he can go directly to the Sun-Moon Empire to think of a solution.

By the end of this semester, there were almost no major problems with the Shrek team's coordination.

Each of them has made considerable progress. Among them, Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao have both reached the bottleneck of level 70. They only need one soul ring to be promoted to the Soul Saint realm.

Just as the semester was ending, Yan Shaozhe personally took the two of them to hunt for the seventh soul ring.

Zhou Sichen brought Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue back to Tianyuan City. While handing the immortal herbs to them, he also gave some treasures to the old man.

Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue have also made great progress. Eleven months later, they are both at level 36.

In addition to their hard training, this also included the soul-nourishing pills that Zhou Sichen gave them.

The reason why Long Xiangyue was able to catch up with Cao Jinxuan was mainly because he absorbed a ten thousand year old soul bone.

The two followed Zhou Sichen back to Tianyuan City and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion. The old man at home was looking forward to the return of his children.

When he saw Zhou Zhenxuan, the old man smiled happily. He had heard about his grandson's performance in the college and was very happy.

Zhou Sichen also discovered a problem. After not seeing the old man for nearly a year, he actually looked several decades younger. He did not have the old age he had when he left home at all.

Feeling the old man's vigorous energy and blood, and looking at his rejuvenated face and spirit, Zhou Sichen suddenly had a guess.

After Zhou Zhenxuan looked around, he stared at Zhou Sichen closely: "Sichen, where is Gu Yi? Why didn't he come back with you guys?"

Zhou Sichen explained: "My sister has already broken through to level 70 and is following Dean Yan to hunt for the seventh spirit ring."

Zhou Zhenxuan nodded when he heard this: "Hunting for spirit rings, this child is still so talented..."

"Wait!" Zhou Zhenxuan was suddenly stunned, and his tone rose a few notches: "What did you say? The seventh soul ring? You are not trying to make your grandfather happy, right? Wasn't the bone armor five rings before? How come after just one semester, you have directly reached the seventh ring?"

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "This is what I came back to tell you."

"When I was on a mission outside the academy, I accidentally entered a treasure land in the Sunset Forest and encountered some opportunities. My fourth soul ring is a little special..."

Zhou Sichen's experience will come slowly, and his words are the same as what he said to Mu Lao and the others.

When Zhou Zhenxuan found out that Zhou Sichen's fourth soul ring was actually a hundred thousand year soul ring, his eyes almost popped out of his eyes.

He has lived for seventy or eighty years, and he has never heard of such an outrageous thing? !

Although his grandson was very talented and even Master Mu accepted him as a disciple, he could never have imagined that his grandson would have such an opportunity.

God bless the Zhou family. After so many years, they finally have a baby boy.

When he heard the words "Lovesickness and Heartbreak", he was shocked.

It turns out that the improvement of the bone armor is due to the grandson's special 100,000-year soul skill! One sub-body per year, doesn't it mean that their Zhou family can mass-produce geniuses?
Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue on the side were fine, not as excited as Grandpa Zhou, because their performance at the beginning was even more exaggerated than Grandpa Zhou's.

When they saw the blood-red hundred thousand year soul ring on the eldest brother's body, they were so shocked that they didn't sleep for several days and nights.

What made them even more excited was the magical immortal item that Zhou Sichen had prepared for them. After returning from vacation, they could use it to directly reach level 40, obtain soul rings and become soul masters.

Zhou Sichen told them the news in advance, and they were so excited for most of the semester!

Zhou Sichen also used this to motivate them, saying that whoever did not practice hard would not get the treasure.

The two of them are now back home, they are so excited that they want to secretly cheat and then experience everyone.

The boss told them that after they go to the academy this semester, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition will be held soon, and the regular candidates for the inner academy have already been determined.

Their outer courtyard will also select seven reserve members from the core disciples aged fifteen or below.

As long as they are strong enough, they can participate in the competition as pre-selected players and show their youthful style.

They have also made a lot of efforts for this. Cheating is cheating, but they also know the importance of their own abilities and cannot hold the boss back!
The two kids looked at each other and watched Old Man Zhou in shock and sigh.

After a long time, Zhou Zhenxuan suddenly quieted down, revealing a very solemn expression, and looked at Zhou Sichen: "Sichen, Grandpa has no requirements for your qualifications, but Grandpa wants to discuss something with you."

Zhou Sichen held the old man's hand and said softly, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you being polite to your grandson?"

Zhou Zhenxuan said softly: "I don't know what you think of Shrek, but I came from Shrek. Not long after you entered the academy, Brother Yan came to my house to find me and lived and ate with me for half a month."

"I know the purpose of his coming. With your talent, you will definitely be a core student at Shrek. You may even be accepted as a disciple by Master Mu and taught by him personally."

"So I told him that I would not interfere with your choice, but I definitely lean towards Shrek in my heart."

"So, if you have extra plans for this Lovesickness Red Body, can you leave one for Elder Mu?"

"The old man has a special physical condition, and there is not much we can do to help him. This is just the small thing we can do."

Listening to the old man's words, Zhou Sichen nodded slightly and expressed his thoughts: "Grandpa, I have considered what you said. I will give the one next year to Elder Mu first to see if it can improve his situation."

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "Since you have this idea, I, the old man, have nothing to say."

Zhou Sichen also smiled: "Big Brother came to see you for a short time, so he must have brought a lot of good things, right? If I'm not mistaken, you should have broken through to the Titled Douluo realm, right?"

Hearing this, Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue's eyes widened instantly. They did not doubt the boss's vision.

No wonder Grandpa Zhou looks so much younger. He is in his seventies or eighties, but he looks like he has returned to his forties or fifties. Has he finally broken through the bottleneck and become a Titled Douluo?!
This... doesn't this mean that their Tianyuan City also has a Titled Douluo?

This is a big deal. The power of a Titled Douluo is extremely terrifying.

"I really can't hide it from your eyes." Zhou Zhenxuan laughed, not caring about how the two addressed Yan Shaozhe.

He called Yan Shaozhe "brother", and Zhou Sichen called Yan Shaozhe "senior brother", and suddenly the two of them became equals.

Mr. Zhou didn't care about this. As long as Zhou Sichen could become Mr. Mu's disciple, he would just call him "big brother".

When this old man was young, he was able to play together with that slut Yan Shaozhe. He also has a very cheerful personality. He calls people family at home and doesn't care how they are called outside.

Zhou Zhenxuan said: "For you kid, the stingy Yan Shaozhe brought a ten thousand year soul bone and many resources, and even gave some important cooperation to Tianyuan City."

"So, in a nutshell, I was able to have this breakthrough this time thanks to you."

Zhou Sichen nodded when he heard this, and he felt more respect for Mr. Mu in his heart.

There is no doubt that this matter was definitely instructed by Old Mu. Otherwise, with Yan Shaozhe's personality, if he took the initiative to give the old man so many resources and spirit bones to help him break through the Titled Douluo realm.

Not to mention moral blackmail, I definitely have to come here to show off.

However, it was only after Zhou Sichen returned home that he learned that the old man had become a Titled Douluo. There had been no news of this before. Only someone of Mu's stature could do good deeds without leaving a name.

Mr. Mu knew in his heart that after Zhou Zhenxuan's breakthrough, there was no need for any publicity or operation. Zhou Sichen would definitely remember this friendship in the future.

It has to be said that Zhou Sichen also admired Mr. Mu's vision, and he wanted to keep him even more.

Even if there will be some unpleasantness in the future because of this, Zhou Sichen accepted it.

Of course, with Zhou Sichen’s plans and arrangements, he felt that it would be unlikely that they would become enemies in the future.

After nearly a year of getting along, Zhou Sichen has gotten to know Mu Lao and others very well.

If that step really comes to pass in the future, as long as the interests involved are made clear, he believes that with Mr. Mu's vision, he will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong.

After all, not everyone is like Xuan Zi, who knows nothing except eating, and has strength but no brains...

Zhou Sichen was also very happy about the old man's breakthrough and asked, "How did you get your ninth soul ring?"

Zhou Zhenxuan smiled and said, "I was in seclusion for three months. After I broke through, Master Xuan personally took me to the Xingdou Great Forest to obtain the spirit ring."

At this point, Zhou Zhenxuan revealed a strange smile: "When I was studying at Shrek, Master Xuan was the type who was not serious. I didn't expect that he would be serious this time. The age of my ninth soul ring is almost close to the 100,000-year level, but it took a lot of effort to obtain it."

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Old Xuan has always been careless in doing things and seldom does a serious thing well.

He took the old man to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings, and if nothing unexpected happened, he also got the old man a spirit ring that was nearly 100,000 years old, which was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Old Xuan protected a group of children. Even someone who could get into an accident when facing an evil soul master at the Soul King level, so it was actually a good thing that the old man came back alive.

He also successfully obtained a ninth soul ring, which was really a blessing.

No wonder Master Xuan was away from the academy some time ago. When he came back, his face was bruised. When he went to find Master Zhuang for treatment, Zhou Sichen happened to see it.

The old man said that he fell because he was drunk. Maybe he encountered something in the Star Dou Great Forest and got hit?
As Zhou Zhenxuan spoke, he raised his right hand and a treasure book appeared in his hand. Nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple and five black, rose from his body. The ninth soul ring even had a hint of red.

The ninety-first level soul power fluctuations came, and the pressure of the Titled Douluo descended, and then it was retracted into the body.

The Zhou family's inherited martial soul is the Treasure Book, which is an attributeless martial soul, and its original ability tends to be auxiliary.

Not to mention Zhou Sichen's mutated Book of Contract, Zhou Zhenxuan's book ability is actually very powerful.

The treasured martial soul is an ability of the soul beast that can be retained by absorbing the soul ring after hunting the soul beast.

In other words, each of Zhou Zhenxuan's soul rings is equivalent to the skills of a soul beast. It can be used to assist teammates, or it can be attached to himself to enhance his own strength.

The choice of the first four soul rings of the treasure martial soul all tends to be auxiliary. After the ten thousand year soul ring, the direction of acquiring abilities is more inclined to strengthen oneself.

The seventh soul ring of the treasured martial soul is also quite special. Due to the special nature of the martial soul, the seventh soul ring is not randomly acquired by the soul beast's ability to absorb soul rings, but directly absorbs the soul beast by force.

Whatever soul beast the seventh soul ring of the Treasure Martial Soul absorbs, the true form of the martial soul will be the same soul beast. This is what makes the Treasure Martial Soul more powerful and truly special.

The old man's seventh soul ring was the powerful soul beast that he asked Yan Shaozhe to hunt for him, which made his strength leap forward.

The main reason why he has been able to hold on to the position of city lord without any hesitation, besides his close relationship with Shrek, is his own strength.
