Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 209 Tang Ya's Conflict

Zhou Sichen put down the cutlery in his hand, looked at Mo Xuan who was sitting opposite him seriously, and said, "Mo Xuan, soon, our academy will have an exchange student quota with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. I have reserved one for you. You should prepare well in the next period of time."

Mo Xuan was eating his meal leisurely, but when he heard this, he suddenly stopped the chopsticks in his hand.

His tired eyes suddenly lit up, and he sat up straight, and asked in surprise, "Really? Si Chen, is this true? Thank you so much!"

Zhou Sichen smiled gently and said earnestly, "It is the responsibility of the academy to fully develop your talent. After all, your martial spirit ability itself has extremely important strategic significance. If you can make some achievements in soul guides, it will greatly promote your entry into the Sea God Pavilion in the future."

Mo Xuan listened to Zhou Sichen's words, his excitement was beyond words. He clenched his fists and said firmly: "Don't worry, Sichen. When the time comes, I will devote myself to study and will never let you and the college down."

As he spoke, he did not bother to savor the food slowly. He finished the food on the plate in just a few bites, then ran out of the cafeteria like a gust of wind and ran towards his residence, shouting as he ran: "I will start preparing for the second-level soul mentor assessment now!"

Watching Mo Xuan's departing figure, Ye Guyi, who had been sitting next to him and eating quietly, put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and said, "Mo Xuan's range-enhancing ability is indeed an excellent strategic-level ability for the army. But if you let him learn soul guides now, will it affect his martial soul training?"

Zhou Sichen shook his head slightly and explained patiently: "It won't have any impact. After all, we don't plan to let him major in soul guides. It's just that his ability is special. If we can find a dedicated soul guide to match it, it may produce unexpected miraculous effects."

"So, we just need him to learn how to make soul guides. Once he has a certain foundation, we can let him explore his own path."

Ye Guyi nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. His eyes lit up and he said, "There are so many undead in your undead demiplane. Can Mo Xuan's ability..."

Hearing Ye Guyi's words, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He had just obtained this undead demiplane from Old Yi, but he did not hide it from Ye Guyi.

Because Alex's undead magic focuses on light attributes, Ye Guyi will gain more powerful insights than in the outside world when fighting in the undead demiplane.

The most important thing is that after Ye Guyi killed the creatures in the undead demiplane, it was also of great help to her own cultivation improvement.

That's why Zhou Sichen opened the undead demiplane to Ye Guyi. Also because of this, Ye Guyi and Yi Lao are now very familiar with each other and know that this is another major opportunity for Zhou Sichen.

As they both have the attribute of light, Elder Yi also taught Ye Guyi carefully, teaching him some techniques of using the power of light and combining them with Ye Guyi's sacred angel martial spirit, allowing Ye Guyi to reap great rewards.

At this moment, Ye Guyi proposed the idea of ​​using Mo Xuan's martial soul to amplify the entire undead army. Zhou Sichen felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly became energetic.

He knew in his heart that the strength of the many undead in the Undead Demiplane should not be underestimated. They were powerful enough to fight against several Titled Douluo-level warriors, especially those Super Bone Dragons that were comparable to Titled Douluo themselves.

If Mo Xuan's ability could work on this group of undead legions, the power unleashed by these undead legions would become even more terrifying.

Zhou Sichen narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile: "Whether it will work or not, we will know when we give it a try."

Ye Guyi nodded in agreement and continued, "It would be quite convenient if you ask Mo Xuan for some blood and directly copy his martial spirit."

Zhou Sichen chuckled, stretched out his hand and gently hugged Ye Guyi's shoulders, saying: "Sister is really my treasure. There have been so many things going on recently that I didn't even think of this. If we can really use Mo Xuan's martial spirit to increase the combat power of the Undead Legion, then we will have one more trump card."

Ye Guyi chuckled, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and continued, "And you have so many contracted soul beasts. Even if you assist the entire undead army, you don't need to worry about not having enough soul power. It's a perfect combination!"

The two became more and more excited as they talked. After all, the Undead Legion was a real war legion.

Moreover, since the Undead Legion itself is a dead object, even if it is lost in battle, it can be recreated and there is no need to feel sorry at all.

This is simply an essential and powerful force for traveling at home, killing and robbing, and dealing with various crises.

However, Ye Guyi's excitement soon faded away. She lowered her head slightly, looked at Zhou Sichen reluctantly, and asked softly, "Are you really planning to go to the Body Sect?"

Zhou Sichen nodded gently, his eyes revealing determination: "My body martial soul's second awakening is not complete, and I haven't found a better way for the time being, so I can only go to the body sect."

Ye Guyi frowned slightly, his face full of worry: "The people of the Body Sect have always been stubborn and self-willed. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to unite with Shrek. I'm a little worried that if you go alone, what will you do if you encounter any danger and are isolated and helpless..."

Zhou Sichen smiled, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Ye Guyi's soft hand, and comforted her: "Don't you know my trump card? Even if we really can't come to an agreement, I have the ability to protect myself and leave."

As he spoke, he raised his head confidently and continued, "What's more, my body martial soul has one more soul than the body martial soul of the current leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si. As long as I show enough strength and talent, I believe the Body Sect will make a choice that is in their favor."

Hearing this, Ye Guyi's worries were slightly relieved. She forced a smile and said, "Yes, even the Xingluo royal family is willing to cooperate with us. The Benti Sect is a sect force, so perhaps the bet will be even bigger."

Zhou Sichen took the last bite of food and put the plate in the recycling point with Ye Guyi, saying, "No matter what the specific situation is, we'll know when we get there."

Ye Guyi took a deep breath, raised his head, and replied with a firm look in his eyes: "I'm sure you will be fine."

Zhou Sichen laughed and looked into the distance: "Yes..."

As night fell, soft moonlight shone on Poseidon Island. Zhou Sichen and Ye Guyi returned to their villa side by side.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Sichen couldn't wait to copy Ye Guyi's martial soul and immersed himself in cultivation with her.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet yet full of energy. A faint light emanated from the two of them. With the rhythm of their breathing, their soul power slowly circulated in their bodies and blended with each other.

Early the next morning, sunlight shone through the cracks in the window onto Zhou Sichen's face.

After a quick wash, he changed into a neat set of inner courtyard clothes, left the villa, and went to the outer courtyard alone.

Along the way, the inner courtyard uniform was particularly eye-catching in the sun, attracting the attention of many outer courtyard students.

Some students had eyes full of envy, while others had a hint of curiosity and awe. After all, being an inner court student was a symbol of strength and glory in Shrek Academy.

Zhou Sichen went straight to the girls' dormitory and saw Tang Ya at a glance.

Tang Ya was standing at the door of the dormitory, fiddling with her blue silver grass out of boredom. She looked up inadvertently and her eyes met Zhou Sichen's.

At that moment, her eyes lit up instantly, a surprised smile spread across her face, and her whole body seemed to be injected with energy, and she ran towards Zhou Sichen excitedly.

"Brother Zhou, you're finally back!" Tang Ya ran to Zhou Sichen and said excitedly, with joy shining in her eyes: "You're back, so Beibei must be back too!"

Zhou Sichen smiled and nodded, and said gently: "Beibei has gained a lot from this competition. He is now in seclusion in the inner courtyard. It is estimated that he will be able to come out in a month at most."

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Tang Ya's eyes, but she quickly regained her spirits and said softly, "His talent is indeed very strong. Unlike me, I have been promoted to the third ring for more than a year, and now I am only at level 34." As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, with a hint of frustration in her tone.

Zhou Sichen patted Tang Ya's shoulder gently and consoled her: "It is true that your Blue Silver Grass martial spirit has limited talent, but as long as we can find a way to improve your martial spirit bloodline, your talent will definitely improve."

Tang Ya sighed softly and said helplessly: "Absorbing plant-type spirit rings has indeed improved my martial spirit, but in the past year or so, my cultivation speed has not improved much."

"Although the third soul skill allowed me to integrate my martial soul with the Tang Sect's unique skills and gained new things, the training speed is still too slow."

At this point, her bright eyes dimmed a little, and her voice lowered: "In the future, let alone catching up with Beibei, even graduating from Shrek Academy successfully will probably be a big problem..."

Looking at Tang Ya's lost look, Zhou Sichen felt a little helpless.

Originally, it was thought that absorbing the Millennium Vine Soul Ring would greatly enhance Tang Ya's martial soul, but now it seems that although there is an improvement, it is minimal.

It can only be said that not everyone can have a Blue Silver Emperor mother like Tang San. It is too difficult for Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass to evolve normally.

Although Tang Ya is stronger now than in the original book, the problem of improving her soul power still has not been effectively solved.

The suggestions Zhou Sichen gave at the time were only based on his understanding of the original work, and were somewhat idealistic in the face of reality.

After all, after tens of thousands of years of development, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirits of so many generations of Tang Sect masters have not undergone any substantial changes. Perhaps someone has tried in this process, but ultimately failed, so they continued the old path of imitating Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

Zhou Sichen patted Tang Ya's shoulder again and encouraged her, "Don't be too discouraged. Although your soul power is improving slowly, at least we are heading in the right direction, aren't we?"

Tang Ya forced a smile, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, I have a method to quickly increase my soul power, which is..."

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen's heart suddenly moved.

He knew that Tang Ya's blue silver grass was different from ordinary blue silver grass and had an innate hidden devouring talent, which was the dark blue silver grass.

But he didn't expect that Tang Ya would take the initiative to talk to him about this matter. After all, this was a secret that even Beibei didn't know.

Zhou Sichen pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What method?"

Tang Ya looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one else was around, she carefully leaned close to Zhou Sichen's ear and whispered softly, "Brother Zhou, I'm telling you, you must keep this a secret for me, even to Beibei."

Zhou Sichen nodded: "Of course, I will keep my mouth shut."

Tang Ya took a deep breath and whispered, "In fact, my Blue Silver Grass is not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It has the ability to devour blood. I can cultivate by devouring vitality..."

Having said that, her dark eyes stared at Zhou Sichen, trying to see something from his face.

However, Zhou Sichen's expression did not change much. He just frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Zhou Sichen didn't say anything, Tang Ya continued, "But this method of cultivation is no different from that of an evil soul master, so I have never dared to use this method to cultivate. After all..."

Zhou Sichen took over the conversation and said, "After all, how could a normal soul master use such an evil cultivation method, right?"

Tang Ya nodded heavily and said, "Yes, but..."

Zhou Sichen continued, "But if you don't use this method, your Blue Silver Grass martial spirit training speed will become slower and slower, and the gap between you and Beibei will become larger and larger, right?"

Tang Ya didn't say anything else, just nodded silently.

She was very conflicted. The reason why she told Zhou Sichen all this today was, on the one hand, that after spending some time together, she had full trust in Zhou Sichen.

On the other hand, and most importantly, she hoped Zhou Sichen could help her with some advice and make some decisions.

The method Zhou Sichen had originally proposed of absorbing plant-type spirit rings to enhance the Blue Silver Grass bloodline was indeed effective, but the speed at which the spirit power increased was too slow, and it took longer and longer to obtain the next spirit ring.

If this continued, her achievement would probably be only five or six rings at best. Without a plant-type soul ring of sufficient quality, it would be extremely difficult to improve the quality of the blue silver grass, so she had such an idea.

The gentle breeze brought the water vapor from Poseidon Lake. The two of them walked side by side to the lake. The sparkling lake surface flickered with tiny lights under the sunlight, like countless diamonds scattered on the lake.

The sweet breeze gently blew their hair. Zhou Sichen stopped, looked at Tang Ya seriously, and slowly said:
"This is indeed a dilemma. In your mind, devouring vitality to cultivate is exactly the same as the evil spirit masters. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. By then, you will most likely be ruthlessly expelled from Shrek Academy, and even spurned by the entire spirit master world, becoming a public enemy that everyone wants to kill, right?"

Tang Ya's face was solemn. She slowly lowered her head and nodded heavily. Her hair swayed slightly with her movements. Her eyes were full of entanglement and struggle.

This question was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on her heart, making her toss and turn, unable to make a decision.

Zhou Sichen frowned slightly, staring at Tang Ya, and continued to ask: "But why are you willing to tell me these secret and dangerous things now?"

"Do you want me to persuade you to give up this dangerous idea and continue to think of other safer solutions together?"

"Or do you hope that I can agree with your idea and persuade you to be firm in your decision?"

Tang Ya suddenly raised her head, looked straight at Zhou Sichen, her lips slightly opened, but she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Her heart was a mess, with two thoughts clashing fiercely in her mind.

On the one hand, she was eager to improve her strength quickly and narrow the gap between her and Beibei, and she didn't want to be left far behind in the future.

On the other hand, she was well aware of the evil nature of cultivating by devouring vitality, which violated her own moral bottom line and she was also afraid of being despised by everyone.

These two ideas kept tug at each other in her mind. As long as Zhou Sichen made one of the suggestions, she would most likely lean in that direction.

Zhou Sichen looked at Tang Ya's confused and helpless eyes, his heart softened, he couldn't help but sigh, his tone became softer: "I understand your worries and your inner torment. After all, up to now, you have still adhered to your bottom line and have not really cultivated by devouring vitality. This is not easy."

"You can tell me such a big secret, I know, it shows your trust in me." He reached out and patted Tang Ya's shoulder gently, trying to give her some comfort and strength.

"Brother Zhou..."
