Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 373 Assisted Cultivation
When Tie Li reiterated the immense improvement that the real test would bring to a Soul Master, Ning Rongrong knew that the gap between the two would widen until it became an insurmountable chasm.

As lovers, of course we hope our partner gets better and better, but this sense of disparity...

Compared to Ning Rongrong, there is no such gap between Zhu Zhuqing and Tie Li; Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts are simpler and purer. Being by Tie Li's side gives her a sense of reliance and protection, which makes her feel at ease.

Her only fear was that Tieli would leave her, leaving her without anyone to rely on and facing difficulties all by herself.

"I……"

"Don't worry, I'll always be here."

At this moment, Tang San asked Tie Li about the current situation in the Soul Master world.

Tie Li paused for a moment, unsure whether he should tell them or not, as it would definitely have an impact on them.

The emergence of the Martial Soul Empire occurred much faster than in the original timeline, and its impact was undoubtedly greater.

Seeing Tie Li hesitate, Tang San had a bad feeling.

"Even if I tell you now, you can't change anything. On the contrary, it will distract you and be detrimental to your assessment."

After thinking for a moment, Tie Li decided to keep the situation in the Soul Master world a secret for the time being.

In particular, the Spirit Hall's Soul Extinction Operation, which led to the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, had a significant impact on Ning Rongrong and could even affect Oscar's assessment.

Tie Li hadn't seen Zhu Zhuqing for so long and missed her, so he took her for a stroll on Poseidon Island.

"Tell me what exactly happened in the world of Soul Masters."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had already asked, Tie Li hesitated for a moment before giving a general account of the situation.

With the emergence of the Spirit Empire, two of the original three major sects were gone, nearly half of the Star Luo Empire's territory was annexed by the Spirit Empire, and a small portion of its territory was also seized by the Heaven Dou Empire, making the situation extremely bad.

With its current territory and military strength, the Star Luo Empire no longer meets the standards of an empire; it can only be considered a kingdom.

"Where is my father? How are they now?" Zhu Zhuqing's face showed a rare emotional fluctuation.

After all, he is her father, and the deep affection she feels for him will affect her.

“An ancient sect of the Star Luo Empire has emerged, led by the Star Crown Sect, to jointly resist the invasion of the Martial Soul Empire. Currently, they are barely maintaining the situation,” Tie Li said.

However, if the Spirit Empire were willing to increase its military strength, it could absolutely sweep through the Star Luo Empire's hard-won front lines.

However, the Martial Soul Empire had more to consider, fearing that it would provoke a full-scale counterattack from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Once the Spirit Empire annexes the Star Luo Empire, its next target will definitely be the Heaven Dou Empire.

Therefore, the Heaven Dou Empire could not stand by and watch the Spirit Empire annex the Star Luo Empire. Any slight disturbance could trigger a desperate fight from the Heaven Dou Empire.

As things stand, the Spirit Empire seems to be waiting for something, which is why it has maintained a stalemate.

"The Duke of the Underworld will be fine for now, and the Star Crown Sect will protect him."

It's impossible for the Star Crown Sect not to be interested in becoming the Star Luo royal family; however, there are too many things to consider if they want to rightfully become the legitimate royal family.

The Duke of the Underworld is the most crucial step, and could even determine whether the Star Crown Sect can become the legitimate one without causing a backlash.

The Duke of the Underworld represents the Zhu family because the Zhu family's martial soul and the Star Luo royal family's White Tiger martial soul can produce a martial soul fusion skill. The Zhu family's status in the Star Luo Empire is extraordinary, and if one wants to control the Star Luo Empire, the Zhu family cannot be bypassed.

The reason why 'Davis' wanted to take action against the Duke of the Underworld was because his status could trigger too many variables.

Killing the Duke of the Underworld would have been the safest way, but unfortunately, Iron Force ruined it.

Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the fact that her father was alive was a good thing for her.

"It's best not to tell Rongrong about this," Tie Li said. Zhu Zhuqing nodded; she understood the impact this would have on Ning Rongrong.

But she knew nothing about the destruction of her sect, which was a very cruel thing for her later.

"Oh, by the way, I brought you something. Try using it to enhance your cultivation; it might have a good effect."

Tie Li retrieved the inner core of the ferocious beast he had obtained in the Thunder Prison Land, which contained the most precious bloodline of the Golden Feather Giant Eagle.

The Golden Feathered Giant Eagle condensed this inner core in order to stimulate its bloodline, master ultimate speed, and complete a transformation of its bloodline.

Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul is the Netherworld Cat, and speed has always been her advantage. With the help of cultivating her inner core, she might be able to further develop the strength of her martial soul.

Upon receiving the inner core, one can feel its warmth, and the energy it contains is immense.

"What a unique elixir!" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed.

"During this time, I will accompany you on Seagod Island to help you refine the energy within the pill and break through to level 70 as soon as possible."

Having completed the Seagod Island assessment, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power level reached level 63, still a long way from level 70.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation was much easier than Ning Rongrong's.

Having lost the immortal herb, her martial soul was merely the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The cultivation of a support soul master was already more difficult than that of a battle soul master, and with the added limitation of the martial soul, she almost couldn't break through level sixty after the Seagod Island assessment.

At the crucial moment, Oscar injected a wisp of pure energy into Ning Rongrong's body, which enabled her to successfully break through and receive the divine gift of a soul ring.

On the third day, Oscar will take Ning Rongrong away from Poseidon Island to another testing ground, which is also the place where Oscar's legacy is passed down.

"Little San, let's work hard together! Next time we meet, we'll both break through to the Title Douluo level!"

"Don't worry, we can do it."

After speaking, Oscar looked at Tie Li and Zhu Zhuqing.

“Brother Dali, I’m entrusting Zhuqing to you; you’re the oldest among us, and Zhuqing is the youngest, so you must take good care of her.”

"When we meet again, Zhu Qing will be much stronger than you," Tie Li said with a half-smile.

The three girls also had their share of farewells.

After Oscar and Ning Rongrong left, Tang San couldn't help but look at Tie Li.

"Brother Dali, Rongrong is gone. Can you tell us the details?" Tang San asked.

As expected of Tang San, he was able to glean so much information from just a few small details about himself at the time.

"alright."

In the span of half an hour, Tang San and Xiao Wu's expressions changed repeatedly.

"I never expected the Spirit Hall to become an empire. Doesn't that put the Star Luo Empire in great danger, Boss Dai..."

Xiao Wu realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly stopped talking.

"Recently, a new sect has emerged in the Soul Master world, called the Holy Word Sect. Within this sect, all the members are fallen Soul Masters. The sect leader is Ma Hongjun, who has already become a Title Douluo."

Tie Li instructed Viper to pay close attention to the situation of the Holy Word Sect, thus obtaining a general understanding of the sect's circumstances.

Tang San's expression changed. In the City of Slaughter, he already knew how Fallen Soul Masters improved their cultivation and reached the Title Douluo level in just a few years. His feet were destined to be covered with piles of blood and bones.
