Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 174 Silver Moon Douluo's Second Soul Core and Breakthrough in Title, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Tang San's Forbearance
The night is dark.

The bright lights attracted many small insects, which hovered in front of the glass, making soft noises that blended with the night, creating an imagined, ordinary night scene.

The group sat around the sofa, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity as they stared at Di Qiu'er. On the surface, Di Qiu'er remained calm, but inwardly she couldn't help but clench the hem of her clothes tightly.

Hey, hey, hey, why are you all staring at me like that? I didn't eat any of your rice...

After Shu Yan's explanation, everyone finally understood Di Qiu'er's background.

Han Ruoruo looked at Di Qiu'er, hesitant to speak. After a moment of hesitation, she finally spoke:
“Since Qiu’er plans to stay at Shrek Academy, then come with us. I’ll call the construction team tomorrow to build another house next door… so we can all look out for each other in the future.”

Di Qiu'er glanced at Han Ruoruo, then at Shu Yan, before speaking:

"Thank you."

Well, it's not that she's aloof, it's just that she doesn't know how to get along with Shu Yan and the others, it's kind of awkward...

After all, they're all family, and she's the outsider...

Even so, she did not refuse Han Ruoruo's kindness.

She had a special feeling for Shu Yan, she didn't know how to describe it, she just naturally felt close to him and that he was trustworthy... After all, the last time they met, he treated her to a whole bunch of pastries from the human world...

Although it couldn't compare to the brains of a light-type soul beast, you get tired of eating the same food all the time... not to mention that human food was completely foreign to her. In any case, Di Qiu'er actually quite liked that kind of taste...

……

And so, Di Qiu'er successfully infiltrated the group...

Although she didn't know what she was about to face, she genuinely enjoyed her current life. After being lonely in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long, she suddenly had a group of companions. After the initial awkwardness and confusion, Di Qiu'er slowly developed a touch of humanity...

All the women knew her true identity, so they all acted with great discretion.

But after spending some time together, they discovered that Di Qiu'er, apart from being a bit cold on the surface, was actually quite nice to get along with.

Hmm... In terms of personality, she's not as cold as Ling Luochen was in the beginning.

But what about Ling Luochen now? While he might not be gentle, at least you can often see a smile on his face. And Di Qiu'er, though seemingly cold, is actually just a somewhat naive, shy, and slightly arrogant little girl…

In Shu Yan's words, a little more discipline would be enough...

……

While Di Qiu'er and the others were enjoying themselves, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were once again dumbfounded.

The academy finally recruited a Golden Dragon genius Soul King, but he had only been in the inner academy for two days. Before the academy could even think of a way to recruit him, you told them that he was already living with Shu Yan's harem.
Dude, what the hell is this game for...?

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion were at a loss for words to express their feelings…

This is really too abstract...

But the die was cast, and many elders could only keep their resentment hidden in their hearts…

Couldn't you leave one for the college...?
……

Some time has passed, and another major event has occurred at Shrek Academy.

That is, the original senior sister of the inner court, Zhang Lexuan, successfully broke through to the title of Douluo and went to the sea to hunt down a 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Whale King with the help of many elders. With the experience of forcibly absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul ring when she was at the eighth ring, Zhang Lexuan did not encounter any accidents when she absorbed the ninth soul ring. After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, her soul power jumped to level ninety-two.

After returning to the academy, she also confirmed her title, which was Silver Moon, Silver Moon Douluo Zhang Lexuan.

In fact, Shu Yan was somewhat surprised by the title she gave herself.

In the original novel, Zhang Lexuan's title was "Moon," but now, her title is "Silver Moon," which is the same as that of Kong Deming, the number one soul master of the Sun Moon Empire... Shu Yan has always suspected that there is some connection between Zhang Lexuan and Kong Deming...

The inheritance of astrological martial souls has always been extremely rare and unique on the continent. Only certain families or sects have the potential to inherit them. The possibility of an ordinary person acquiring an astrological martial soul through martial soul transformation is no less than that of an ordinary earth dragon transforming into a dragon god...

The Moon Martial Soul is an extremely special existence among the celestial-type Martial Souls recorded on the continent. The reason is simple: the Silver Moon was once one of the inherited Martial Souls of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family.

Kong Deming has one-quarter of the royal blood of the Sun Moon Empire. Therefore, he is only loyal to the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. In other words, he does not care who the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is, as long as that person is a member of the Sun Moon royal family.

Regardless of the circumstances, based solely on their martial spirits, Shu Yan had reason to suspect that there was some connection between Zhang Lexuan and Kong Deming.

As Zhang Lexuan broke through to the Title Douluo level, Shu Yan also discovered something else.

That means Moon's lifespan has come to an end.

Shu Yan had roughly assessed the situation and determined that the remaining life force within him could only sustain him for about another six months at most, and in his condition, he couldn't prolong his life by infusing him with more life force...

There was no way around it; his body was like a giant funnel, and no matter how much life force was poured in, it would eventually drain away quickly…

Shu Yan felt sorry for him. Mu En was undoubtedly a qualified elder and teacher. He was a respectable strongman and senior, but unfortunately, his departure was inevitable...

……

After spending some time together, Shu Yan managed to extract some information from Di Qiu'er.

But Shu Yan had already anticipated these words, so he treated them as if he hadn't heard them at all.

However, Shu Yan planned to use her as a connection to establish contact with the Star Dou Great Forest, which was also his original intention.

Di Qiu'er was his bridge in negotiating with the Star Dou Great Forest. Since the other party was willing to send the auspicious beast to Shrek Academy, it meant that the other party was willing to negotiate, or at least did not come with malice.

Di Qiu'er also saw through Shu Yan's thoughts, but she didn't object. She had already learned about soul spirits from Han Ruoruo and the others, which was undoubtedly novel and shocking to her...

……

However, before establishing a true connection with the Star Dou Great Forest, Shu Yan had an even more important task to do: to condense his second soul core and break through to the Title Douluo level.

His profound knowledge and skills must be evident in his ability to condense a second soul core using the principle of yin and yang complementarity.

This undoubtedly takes time, so Shu Yan once again entered a state of seclusion…

Poseidon Pavilion was also aware of this matter. In order to take care of Shu Yan, Poseidon Island has been unusually quiet lately, and even the training grounds, which are usually filled with the sounds of gunfire, have become peaceful...

……

Condensing a second soul core through the complementarity of Yin and Yang is a huge undertaking, but Shu Yan already possessed all the necessary conditions for condensing a second soul core. With his foundation, he successfully condensed the second soul core in nearly a month and a half, officially stepping into the Title Douluo realm.

With his dual soul cores that complement each other, Shu Yan's combat power has reached a new level.

For him, rank was no longer a standard for measuring combat strength. Even Shu Yan himself wasn't sure just how strong he was...

After breaking through to the Title Douluo realm, the problem he faced was undoubtedly obtaining his ninth spirit ring.

Shu Yan had already made preparations, and it was time to make a trip to the Haotian Sect...!
……

Three hundred miles east of Tiandou City.

Shu Yan's figure appeared out of thin air high in the sky.

He glanced at the unremarkable little village below, then headed straight into the mountains behind it. His mental energy had already thoroughly surveyed the distribution of people within the mountains.

Aside from the two divine beasts from the God Realm, the entire Clear Sky Sect also has a level 98 Super Douluo and several Super Douluo Title Douluos. This is undoubtedly a terrifying power of Soul Masters. However, after observing, Shu Yan discovered that the Super Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect are generally over 150 years old, especially the level 98 Super Douluo, who is over 200 years old. Judging from his declining blood and qi, his lifespan is obviously less than ten years.

Shu Yan burst through the air, making no attempt to conceal his presence.

Before long, the Haotian Sect, sensing his presence, panicked, and two middle-aged men appeared in front of him first.

The man who was the leader of the two middle-aged men had long blue hair and blue eyes. When he opened and closed his eyes, his seemingly ordinary eyes gave people an indescribable quality, as if there was a shadow that could not suppress the powerful aura that was revealed in his body.

Sitting beside him was a middle-aged man of no less stature. This man had short, fine hair like steel needles, a dignified appearance, and a resolute face as if carved by a knife. His eyes, however, were brownish-yellow, with a faint golden glint.

These two people, just by standing there, give people a sense of grandeur; their powerful aura cannot be completely suppressed.

"Azure Divine Dragon, Titan Giant Ape..."

Shu Yan gazed at the two of them, then said softly:
"Chosen One, you have finally arrived."

Da Ming spoke first. While Shu Yan was watching the two of them, the two of them were also paying attention to Shu Yan.

The feedback they received was undoubtedly astonishing. The aura emanating from this human boy, who was only a teenager, instilled fear in them. This was especially true for Da Ming, who, after successfully transforming into a dragon, was now rarely suppressed by any dragon. Yet, the dragon bloodline within Shu Yan completely suppressed him from beginning to end, making him feel as if he wanted to submit to him.

"It seems the Sea God is quite concerned about the situation in the mortal realm..."

Shu Yan chuckled softly, then said.

Da Ming chuckled softly, a powerful aura emanating from him, an aura that was almost at the god level, giving the impression that he would break through to the god level at any moment.

Standing beside him, Titan also exhaled a powerful aura, as heavy as a mountain, which had clearly entered the Limit Douluo realm.

"The chosen one cannot defy fate. He is willing to give you a chance to abandon darkness and embrace light. You must voluntarily relinquish the inheritance of the God of Space, sever ties with those mortal women, and come together with Dong'er to inherit the Sea God's position. Otherwise... a prematurely deceased genius cannot achieve anything on his own; instead, he will bring disaster to the world..."

Da Ming's voice was high and mighty, carrying an indescribable air of authority, as if he wanted to overwhelm Shu Yan with his presence.

Shu Yan sneered upon hearing this, then said loudly:

"He divided his own daughter's soul to seize the power of destiny for the soul beast race, violated the ironclad laws of the divine realm to help his parents seize the power of balance in the Douluo plane, interfered with the growth of the chosen one of destiny, forcibly bound him to his own daughter, and attempted to tame him into his loyal hound. What a despicable sea god! All that he has done is perhaps more fitting for the position of Rakshasa God than the first Rakshasa God..."

Upon hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming's expressions darkened.

"It seems you've made up your mind to defy him, Shu Yan. What makes you think you can contend with the God King of the Divine Realm? Only by obeying the will of Heaven will you have a chance to survive..."

"God willing?"

Shu Yan chuckled, a hint of bloodlust flashing in his eyes. Da Ming and Er Ming, who were standing opposite him, felt a chill run down their spines almost simultaneously, and their originally vigorous aura was suppressed and extinguished.

"Who does Tang San think he is? How dare he say I'm defying the heavens..."

"You two beasts dare to act like dogs relying on their master's power? Do you really think I can't kill you? Heh... Today, I will use your lives to pave my path to heaven. If they can become my aid in reaching the highest point, this will be the only thing you will remember in your lives."

Having said that, Shu Yan no longer concealed his aura. The overwhelming dragon's might forced Da Ming and Er Ming back two steps, their pupils shrinking sharply, their faces filled with disbelief...

Before facing Shu Yan, they had significantly improved their strength with Tang San's help, which should have been enough to subdue Shu Yan. But now it seems they had underestimated this somewhat special chosen one...

……

Spirit world.

"How can this be!?"

As the view drew closer, a young man with long, waterfall-like blue hair stood in a magnificent hall with a somber expression.

Wisps of celestial energy drifted by like clouds and mist, enveloping the entire world in a dreamlike atmosphere.

"Third brother..."

Just as the young man was about to lose control of his anger, a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a light pink dress and with her hair styled in a long scorpion braid appeared out of thin air and then grabbed the young man's arm.

Upon seeing her appear, Tang San's previously somewhat gloomy eyes brightened slightly. He reached out and ruffled the woman's hair, forcing a smile as he said:

"Xiao Wu, what brings you here?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke:

"Third Brother, has something big happened on Douluo Continent?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San closed his eyes and nodded heavily.

"Yes, the fate of Douluo Continent has been completely disrupted. The original chosen one of destiny has been abandoned by the plane, while the new chosen one of destiny seems to know some secrets... and has chosen to be my enemy."

"Something's happened with my parents too. Destruction has been keeping a closer eye on me lately, and even as an enforcer of the divine realm, I can no longer offer them much assistance... And now, the Chosen One has approached Da Ming and Er Ming, wanting to kill them to obtain their soul rings..."

"What?! Da Ming and Er Ming are in danger?!"

Xiao Wu gasped in surprise upon hearing this, and then she instinctively gripped Tang San's hand tightly.

"Third Brother, with the strength of Da Ming and Er Ming, isn't that enough to suppress that chosen one of destiny?"

Tang San shook his head, then said in a deep voice:

"Difficult, very difficult."

"That chosen one is extraordinary. I have a feeling he's not a native of the Douluo Continent... Da Ming and Er Ming this time, I'm afraid..."

Tang San didn't say it directly, but the meaning was obvious.

"How can this be…"

Xiao Wu's legs gave way, and she almost fell over, but fortunately Tang San helped her up.

"How could a boy who has only cultivated for a little over ten years possibly be a match for Da Ming and Er Ming..."

"Third Brother, Da Ming and Er Ming descended to the mortal realm for Xiao Qi's sake, you must help them..."

Tang San frowned upon hearing this, then sighed softly, pulled Xiao Wu into his arms, and said:

"I originally planned to directly use my divine sense to persuade that chosen one... but the God of Destruction and Space seems to have been aware of this. If I make any move now, they will seize upon it... and if this leads to other matters, it will be a huge problem for me..."

"Xiao Wu, don't worry. Da Ming and Er Ming have been kind to us. No matter what, I will definitely bring them back..."

"Yes, I believe in Third Brother..."

The worry in Xiao Wu's eyes almost solidified, but she ultimately chose to believe Tang San...

Tang San gave a soft "hmm." The situation was unfavorable to him... For the sake of his ambitions and plans, he had to endure it for now!
Only by enduring hardship can we wait for an opportunity to turn the tide!
