Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 290 Soul Ring Age Increase
Compared to Zhu Zhuyi's fury, the Duke of Youming was surprisingly quiet.

"Big brother, Davis is going to attack us..."

"No, he has no reason to attack us. Zhu Yun is his partner. Our Zhu family has deep roots in the political and military empire of the Star Luo Empire. Attacking us would not benefit him at all, but would instead affect his position."

Unless he isn't Davis.

"If a rebellion breaks out in the empire, who do you think would benefit the most?"

"The Heaven Dou Empire? Or the Spirit Hall?" Zhu Zhuyi immediately regained her composure.

He was definitely not a reckless person, given his ability to represent the Zhu family's position in the Star Luo Empire.

After Duke Youming's analysis, Zhu Zhuyi considered many possibilities. Considering His Majesty's illness in bed, there was a lot of something fishy going on.

"What should we do?" Zhu Zhuyi asked.

However, Duke Youming did not elaborate. With Tie Li and the other two still present, the ensuing conversation touched upon the military secrets of the Star Luo Empire.

"Thank you very much this time," Duke Youming said to Tieli.

“You are Zhu Qing’s father, I should help you.”

This is undeniable. Tie Li had already learned from Dugu Bo that Zhu Qing had given up the soul bone that suited her and chosen the inherited soul bone of the Fenglei Sect, just to keep it for herself.

Given this debt of gratitude, coupled with the feelings between the two, it was only right and wrong for him to help the Duke of the Underworld when he was in danger.

Duke Youming left Tieli and the other two to enjoy a lunch befitting a nobleman.

The food provided Lei Zhen and Bing Ju with a novel experience; they couldn't enjoy such high-quality food in the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

After the meal, Duke of the Underworld met with Tieli in a private room.

"I'm very curious, why would these two Title Douluos obey you?"

I cannot give you an answer right now.

Duke of the Underworld shrugged, seemingly having anticipated this outcome.

"The Third Prince was born with heterochromia and has extremely high talent. If it weren't for the royal succession rules, even if he couldn't become the heir, his future achievements would still be remarkable."

The Xingluo royal family is facing a major problem. Davis may have met with an accident, and the eldest prince in the palace is clearly in trouble.

As the Duke of Youming of the Star Luo Empire, he had to consider how to do all this, and Dai Mubai was his most important backup plan.

Without the Star Luo Emperor's recognition, Davis will always be the eldest prince, not the crown prince, while Dai Mubai will remain the third prince of the Star Luo Empire.

Only with this identity could the Duke of the Underworld begin his plan.

In order to bind Dai Mubai tightly to herself, Zhu Zhuqing is very important.

The reason for meeting Tie Li alone was to assess his value.

The competition within the Zhu family is fierce and brutal, and Duke Youming will also compare the value of both sides.

"call"

Duke of the Underworld suddenly released his spirit ring, and the pressure from the Soul Douluo came directly towards Tie Li.

"you……"

In the eyes of the Duke of the Underworld, Tie Li's age meant that reaching the Soul Emperor level was already the limit. With his eight-ring Soul Douluo's soul power suppression, he should have directly revealed his Martial Soul and Soul Rings.

But Tieli did not react much.

In terms of the number of spirit rings, Duke Youming has one more eighth spirit ring than Tie Li, but in terms of the overall quality of the spirit rings, the attributes granted by a single 100,000-year spirit ring are unmatched by any of Duke Youming's spirit rings.

Moreover, Tie Li possesses a 100,000-year-old torso soul bone, an external soul bone that has evolved three times, and a left and right leg soul bone that are over 80,000 years old.

With so many attributes combined, even a titled Douluo like Tuoba Xi, let alone an eight-ring Soul Douluo, might not be able to force out Tie Li's martial soul and soul rings by suppressing him with soul power alone.

"boom"

An even more powerful soul force erupted from Tie Li, causing the Duke of the Underworld to retreat repeatedly. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red!

A terrifying 100,000-year soul ring appeared beneath Tie Li, leaving Duke Youming's eyes filled with disbelief; this was completely beyond his expectations.

A 100,000-year soul ring?

He's only a Soul Saint... wait, he's a Seven-Ring Soul Saint, and he's not even thirty years old yet, he's actually a Soul Saint.

Doesn't this mean that he has a very high chance of becoming a Title Douluo in the future? And he already has a 100,000-year spirit ring. What if he gets another 100,000-year spirit ring?

How terrifying would a Title Douluo with two 100,000-year spirit rings be?

Duke of the Underworld saw the value of Iron Power, and the scales in his heart suddenly tipped.

He could sense that Tie Li's aura was no weaker than his own, and perhaps even stronger.

Is this the huge boost from a 100,000-year soul ring?

Duke Youming put away his martial spirit and spirit rings. If he continued to probe, he would be the one to lose face.

With the appearance of a 100,000-year spirit ring, and the fact that two titled Douluo, Lei Zhen, obeyed him, Tie Li suddenly became mysterious in the eyes of the Duke of Youming.

Instead of probing further, Duke Youming chatted casually with Tieli about everyday matters. After about half an hour, Tieli left the room.

……

"Is there a Title Douluo by the side of the Duke of the Underworld?"

Davis looked at the black-robed man in front of him, his tone tinged with surprise. The sudden appearance of this titled Douluo was beyond his expectations.

"His soul power level is above 95, and his martial soul is a bit special. I'm not sure I can defeat him without a doubt."

"It's alright, we've already achieved our goal, so it can be considered a success."

"That court count..."

"He was just a piece of trash. He's dead, so what? We can use his death to make a fuss."

Davis sat in the main seat of the palace. He had already accomplished most of his objectives in the Star Luo Empire. The next step was to ignite the sparks of revolution within the Star Luo Empire.

……

Lei Zhen and Bing Ju were somewhat interested in the lives of the great nobles, and Tie Li deliberately stayed at the Zhu residence for two more days.

Having left Xingluo City on the third day, the remaining two marks, located in opposite directions, might waste a little more time.

After Tie Li and his two companions left Xingluo City, another group of Soul Masters arrived.

"We were too late; they escaped."

"We've arrived in Xingluo City. Should we go into the Xingluo Imperial Palace? After all, her status is far higher than ours."

"Forget it, we're just carrying out the Pope's mission, it has nothing to do with her; besides, if we were to go to the palace to pay our respects, we'd probably get a good scolding."

……

Black lightning covered Tie Li's palm, and a hand chop pierced the heart of the Soul Master in front of him, shattering his Martial Soul at that moment, and his life force was rapidly fading away.

The last mark has disappeared, and the task of starting the third test has been successfully completed.

"Mission successfully completed! Reward: All Soul Rings' age increased by 500 years!"

"You can return to the assessment site at any time to begin the third assessment."

The cold voice appeared in Tie Li's mind once again, followed by a golden ray of light that enveloped Tie Li's body.

Seven spirit rings appeared beneath Tie Li, and their colors changed.
