Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 217 Brother Tortoiseshell, I, Xu, will help you one last time: remove the life-giving gold from your belly.

"Hey~ How is this not serious? There are many things in life worth cherishing. Feelings are not everything, but they are quite important."

Ye Yulin didn't care at all about being criticized by Xu Tianxi for being "improper," and instead defended herself with a serious expression.

In this land of love, I'll take your words as the truth.

Xu Tianxi didn't want to argue with this old rascal, so he dropped a bombshell: "That Vina, like me, possesses a spirit-type martial soul."

"Huh?" Ye Yulin raised an eyebrow.

"Moreover, she has twin martial souls. Her other martial soul is likely one of the inherited martial souls of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, the healing-type Snow Lotus."

Xu Tianxi continued to release information to prove that he was seriously looking for intelligence.

"What? Twin martial soul geniuses are so worthless now?" Ye Yulin was genuinely surprised.

According to Xu Tianxi, this princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire is of the same status as Xu Tianxi?
Xu Tianxi nodded: "I'm more than 90% sure."

"Why are you so sure?"

"As we both possess twin martial souls and original martial souls, my cultivation level far surpasses hers. After observing her for a while, I could tell that her mental strength is extraordinary. She even asked me about my experience in cultivating mental strength."

Xu Tianxi calmly answered, continuing without blushing or panting:
"Furthermore, I have information from my family that the Body Sect has become the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and Vina is definitely a disciple of the Body Sect; I suggest that the old emperor strengthen security, lest he be assassinated by someone."

If the old emperor were to die now, it would be a matter of course for Xu Tianran to ascend the throne. The princes would not be able to defeat him, and Kong Deming and the others would allow Xu Tianran to take the throne in order to maintain stability.

This doesn't quite align with his developmental goals.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yulin's expression turned serious, and she nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, there are more than ten level nine soul masters secretly on guard nearby, and Elder Kong is also keeping an eye on things. There won't be any problems."

"That's good."

Xu Tianxi was like a senior consultant in charge of quality control, who was very concerned about the stability of the Sun Moon Empire. After asking about one thing, he would immediately ask about the next thing.

"What about the negotiation details? Are there any problems? Can our level nine soul masters and military personnel control the situation?"

Ye Yulin honestly replied, "Jing Hongchen and I will be in charge of attending the main talks. Luanfeng, Liao Mengkai, Wang Yiheng, and four other level nine soul masters will accompany us. The three guardians of the nation, Fire Phoenix, Fear Claw, and Evil Lord, are ready to be deployed at any time."

"If needed, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps can also be mobilized."

"Nine level nine Soul Masters and four Guardians of the Nation, that seems to be enough." Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief.

If anyone dares to overturn the table, none of the people from the Three Kingdoms Empire will be able to leave.

"How long will it take to develop a linked soul guidance array that can integrate the power of a large number of soul masters and theoretically pose a life threat to a Limit Douluo?"

"This is a project personally led by Professor Kong. It's just a matter of time; it will probably take another three years."

Ye Yulin said excitedly, "As long as we can research the linked soul guidance array, we won't have to be so afraid of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui anymore."

"That's the theory, but the Limit Douluo shouldn't be underestimated. We need to continue our in-depth research. Don't forget the Great Explosion of the Star Luo Empire's Temple Master; that was the strongest technique of a Soul Master."

Seeing that Ye Yulin was getting a little carried away, Xu Tianxi had to remind him to recall some important events from the past.

In the original novel, if Ye Xishui hadn't gone mad and wanted to test whether Long Xiaoyao's love for her had changed, Long Xiaoyao wouldn't have been killed by her, and she herself might not have died.

If the two Limit Douluos were to activate their hidden backup energy and self-destruct, Tang San and Qian Renxue from ten thousand years ago could be injured by the explosion, as the force would be much greater than that of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

A bucket of cold water was poured over her, and Ye Yulin quickly sobered up, smiling sheepishly: "Everyone has to have ideas, right? Actually, we mainly hope to buy you young people some time."

"Once you become a Super Douluo, we will dare to look down on the world. At that time, you will be on the same level as Master Kong."

With the talent of twin martial souls plus an ultimate divine beast martial soul, Xu Tianxi, having cultivated to the level of Super Douluo, would be invincible below the Limit Douluo level based solely on his soul master abilities. Coupled with his level nine soul master skills, Xu Tianxi would undoubtedly become an existence no less than Kong Deming, or even stronger.

With two Kong Demings appearing in the Sun Moon Empire, who else can they fear?
Xu Tianxi paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "I remember that Elder Kong is still a level 94 Title Douluo?"

Ye Yulin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded honestly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Xu Tianxi shook his head with a look of regret: "Old Master Kong's talent as a Soul Master is not only unparalleled in the world, but also among the best. It's such a waste that he hasn't become a Super Douluo at over a hundred years old."

"It's obvious that he was obsessed with soul tools when he was young, and missed the opportunity to break through to Super Douluo."

Yes, he was referring to Kong Deming, not some sect leader of the Body Sect ten thousand years later.

Ye Yulin was a little confused by Xu Tianxi's expression. "So? What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. Instead of pinning your hopes on me, you should pin your hopes on Elder Kong. If he becomes a Super Douluo, wouldn't he be an unprecedented level 10 Soul Master? Dealing with Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui will be much easier for him."

Xu Tianxi said that you can't just motivate the younger generation to work hard, you also need to put the older generation through the same intensity.

"Think about it, am I, a Soul King, closer to level 95, or is Elder Kong, a level 94 Title Douluo, closer to level 95?"

"Isn't he a twin martial soul? If he takes some free time to complete the nine-ring upgrade of his second martial soul, maybe he can break through to the next level?"

"Once he becomes a level ten Soul Master, you level nine masters will also be able to receive more profound guidance, right?"

Xu Tianxi patiently explained the pros and cons, and Ye Yulin's eyes gradually lit up.

Yes, instead of putting pressure on the junior apprentice's fragile shoulders, it's better to put pressure on the old master Confucius's sturdy and unyielding body.

Junior Brother still needs to research Soul Spirits and Advanced Soul Tools. Elder Kong is used to seclusion, so it's good for him to go out and get some fresh air. He's over a hundred years old now, in the prime of his life, and breaking through to Super Douluo will further extend his lifespan.

While he was thinking, he heard Xu Tianxi speak again.

"I left something at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy that could benefit Elder Kong's cultivation; Senior Brother, do you have anything good to offer him?"

As he spoke, Xu Tianxi looked up to observe the sky, thinking to himself that the old emperor's investiture ceremony was really troublesome, and he couldn't get away for the time being.

However... leaving is not out of the question.

Xu Tianxi's gaze fell on Ye Yulin, and he quickly revealed a faint smile.

"I don't have any good things to offer as tribute to Elder Kong right now. If I did, my cultivation level wouldn't be stuck at level ninety-three... Hey, junior brother, what kind of look is that?"

Ye Yulin immediately began to complain, saying that all the Soul Masters had to focus on Soul Guidance Devices, making Soul Master cultivation extremely difficult.

When he looked up and met Xu Tianxi's gaze, he noticed a strange look in Xu Tianxi's eyes.

"It's alright if you don't have anything good, senior brother. You stay here and don't move around. I'll go to the academy to get some good stuff. Keep an eye on my clone for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tianxi used the Mirror Flower Water Moon as a medium and his mental power to create a clone that was exactly the same as his original body, while his original body drifted away.

This is something Huo Gua could do after reaching the realm of tangible yet intangible spiritual power in the original novel, and Xu Tianxi can naturally do it as well.

His figure moved swiftly, and before Ye Yulin could react, two Xu Tianxis appeared on the spot in an instant. The real one said a few words to him and then vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Ye Yulin couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle:
"My junior brother is such a restless fellow; even when celebrating a victory, he's thinking of sending a token of his filial piety to Master Kong..."

……

With a flash of light and shadow, Xu Tianxi's figure moved swiftly as he headed towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed softly, "Tianxi, aren't you working too hard for cultivation? You don't have a moment's rest."

Xu Tianxi's light laughter echoed throughout the world: "Struggling with others brings endless joy; once you get used to working hard, it's hard to find time to relax."

"The ability to take action is more important than anything else. If you have an idea, just do it. I'm working hard now so that I won't have any regrets about being powerless in the future."

Hyotei rarely spoke first, and his tone carried a hint of worry: "You're too tense. The way of cultivation is to relax and unwind at the same time. Pushing yourself too hard isn't good."

Xu Tianxi smiled and said, "Then let's treat the upcoming trip to the far north and the deep sea as a rare time to relax."

"The far north is the territory of you ferocious beasts. Will I run into trouble if I go there?"

"Of course! Apart from Xue'er and Atai, no one in the far north dares to disobey me!"

Hyotei's delicate and lovely face revealed the arrogance of a generation's overlord, her brown pupils flashing with excitement, her hands on her hips, exuding domineering power.

Tianmeng Bingcan, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed, transforming into a cheering squad and raising a banner that proclaimed "Ice Emperor's Dominance is Invincible."

"If you're fine, then what about Xue Di?"

Xu Tianxi lowered his gaze to the ninth-level God-Sealing Platform hidden in his sleeve and said with a faint smile, "Snow Empress, I need to go to the far north to help an important companion find the 100,000-year-old Zhu Qing Ice Toad. Would you do me the honor?"

The Snow Emperor's voice was like the fine snow melting in the early sun, flowing gently: "I promised to help the far north integrate into the human world, and naturally I will not go back on my word."

"But you also promised me that you would not force those soul beasts."

“Of course.” Xu Tianxi said in a light voice, “You’ve met my important companion. Her martial soul is the Zhu Qingbing Toad. There is no one in this world more suitable than her to fuse with the Zhu Qingbing Toad’s soul spirit.”

"The 100,000-year-old Zhu Qingbing Toad submitted to her, and while there is indeed a huge gap in strength, how could she be grateful for this favor if I didn't place a heavy bet early on?"

The Snow Emperor remained unmoved and calmly said, "There is something I need to tell you. The Zhu Qing Ice Toad clan is known as the king of the crevices in the far north. The clan is very small, but the strength of each adult member is extraordinary."

The clan leader is a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has already survived one Heavenly Tribulation. Although she has no hope of surviving a second Heavenly Tribulation, her cultivation level still exceeds 150,000 years, and ordinary human Super Douluo cannot resist her deadly poison.

Xu Tianxi smiled and calmly said, "She has no hope of breaking through the two hundred thousand year limit, but she can do it with the help of humans, and even cultivate faster than she can on her own."

"If I can become a god, my companion will most likely also ascend to the realm of gods, and then the Zhu Qing Ice Toad Clan Chief will also have the chance to live forever; if I cannot, she can still live forever through this, so it's a win-win situation, as I am bringing her a great opportunity."

"Besides... aren't you all here? Snow Empress, I don't believe she would dare disobey your orders, the Lord of the Far North."

The Snow Empress was silent for a moment, then said, "When did I agree to command the soul beasts to make a choice?"

"The fact that you didn't deny it immediately is already an admission."

Xu Tianxi chuckled softly, and at that moment, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy came into view.

He made several quick trips back to the college and went straight to the aquarium.

Before long, a golden tortoiseshell, cuddling with a female tortoiseshell, came into Xu Tianxi's view.

Appearing out of thin air, Xu Tianxi laughed loudly and strode towards the golden tortoiseshell.

“Brother Tortoiseshell, I, Xu, will help you one last time to remove the life-giving gold from your belly.”
