Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 402 Conjecture
The formation of the rudimentary soul core did not directly help Zhu Zhuqing restore her soul power, so it did not violate the rules.

With Zhu Zhuqing's current physical strength and soul power, she is unable to condense a true soul core. Even if she condenses a rudimentary soul core, she will need the assistance of Tie Li, a level 98 Super Douluo.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhu Zhuqing felt immense pressure surrounding her, as if it were controlling her body.

Tie Li suddenly felt a little fortunate. Fortunately, most of her soul power had been consumed, and the remaining soul power was used to condense the prototype of the soul core, which greatly reduced the burden on her body.

However, the nascent soul core that is condensed will be of much lower quality.

However, under the current circumstances, we can only condense a prototype of the soul core first, and then consider improving the quality of the soul core when we actually condense the soul core later.

"Control the soul power within your body and compress it. Leave the rest to me," Tie Li's voice rang in Zhu Zhuqing's ears.

The remaining soul power was condensed into a rudimentary soul core, which did not provide Zhu Zhuqing with any additional soul power, so it could not be considered a violation of the rules.

Compared to the process of condensing a soul core on my own, this is undoubtedly much safer.

With the help of the iron force, the soul power gathered in the dantian is solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, a look of surprise appeared in them. Only by personally experiencing the benefits of the Soul Core could one understand how amazing its appearance was.

The ability to continuously improve the quality of soul power is enough to amaze soul masters.

"How does it feel?"

"Yes, it can absorb external energy and convert it into soul power."

Zhu Zhuqing felt the changes within her body, and the joy in her eyes was undisguised. If she were to rely solely on herself to complete the sixth test, the chances of failure would be very high.

The challenge of defeating the Beast King Ya'an alone could be a major hurdle. Facing the Beast King while under the pressure of the beast horde would consume even more of one's soul power.

Using up almost all of your soul power to fight the last ferocious beast will be much more difficult.

With the help of the nascent soul core, external energy is converted into soul power. In the Mysterious Continent, the speed of soul power recovery is much slower, but if you return to the Douluo Continent, the powerful recovery ability of the nascent soul core will be immediately demonstrated.

When her soul power was half restored, Zhu Zhuqing ended her cultivation state.

"Why don't you recover more soul power? That way you'll have a better chance of defeating the last ferocious beast," Tie Li asked.

"The third ferocious beast wanted to escape."

The third ferocious beast that Zhu Zhuqing had targeted was fleeing Giant Tooth Island. It sensed that the auras of the two other ferocious beasts had disappeared on Giant Tooth Island, which made it feel inexplicably fearful.

Instinct drove it to flee Giant Tooth Island as quickly as possible; it had a premonition that it would be next.

"We'll go after them right away."

"Wait, this time I'll have to do it myself."

This is yet another warning. It is clear that Tieli's presence is a variable in the assessment. From now on, Tieli is prohibited from interfering in the assessment process.

A strange spatial fluctuation enveloped Tie Li's body. Was it trying to send him back to Douluo Continent?

"call!"

Watching Tie Li being forcibly teleported away, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned serious. The last ferocious beast was definitely not simple. The capture of the previous two ferocious beasts was judged to be due to trickery, and the difficulty of capturing the last ferocious beast would be greatly increased.

……

A loud "boom" resounded on Moon Spirit Island as Tie Li plummeted from the void. Had his physical strength not been exceptionally robust, he would likely have suffered serious injuries.

The spatial rift, which should have closed normally, was suddenly struck by a bolt of spatial lightning upon seeing that Tie Li had fallen unharmed, and then immediately closed the rift.

Sensing an impending danger, Tie Li summoned Thor's hammer to resist the attack.

The attack, which surpassed the level of a Soul Master, contained two powerful forces: space and lightning. Thor's Hammer blocked the lightning, but the cutting force of space carved a huge wound in Tie Li's chest.

The destructive power surged forth, instantly annihilating the spatial forces, and the wounds healed rapidly.

Tie Li's brow twitched involuntarily as he looked toward the point where the space closed off.

He cursed inwardly, then sat cross-legged on the boulder, waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to return after completing the assessment.

My cultivation level has now reached level 98, just one level away from level 99. However, the difficulty of advancing to this level is no less than that of a major realm, and may even be greater.

To advance from level 98 to level 99 in a short period of time, one must completely condense the third soul core and rely on its impact to succeed.

However, the third soul core is still in its infancy.

The difficulty of condensing the third soul core is undoubtedly greater than that of the first and second soul cores. The first two soul cores are supported by the power of origin, but the third soul core can only be successfully formed on the basis of the first and second soul cores.

Tie Li sat cross-legged on the boulder to cultivate, not just to cultivate his soul power, but more to comprehend himself and understand how to successfully condense his third soul core.

Condensing the third soul core is the most difficult and dangerous task, and Tie Li can only rely on himself. He must be aware of the soul power and physical strength around him, and he cannot be careless in the slightest.

During this process, Tieli subconsciously ignored the passage of time and immersed himself in his own world.

Meanwhile, Tang San completed the seventh trial of the Sea God and pulled out the Sea God Trident. He and Xiao Wu temporarily left Sea God Island and returned to the Clear Sky Sect.

After learning about the changes in the Soul Master world from Tie Li, Tang San couldn't help but worry about the situation of the Clear Sky Sect. After completing the seventh trial, he took Xiao Wu and left Seagod Island.

"Third brother, you don't need to worry too much. There are many elders in the sect, so nothing serious will happen."

"I have a vague sense of unease, Xiao Wu, let's take Er Ming back to the Haotian Sect," Tang San suddenly said.

Last time, the Spirit Hall attacked the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Bibi Dong's sudden move led to the Azure Bull Python's sacrifice, leaving only the Titan Giant Ape. If the Spirit Hall were to attack it, the Titan Giant Ape alone would not be able to withstand it.

What Tang San said was also what Xiao Wu was worried about.

If the Azure Bull Python hadn't sacrificed itself, the two of them working together wouldn't have needed to fear the Spirit Hall too much in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But it's different now.

Bringing the Titan Ape back to the Haotian Sect would benefit both sides; it would enhance the Haotian Sect's foundation and protect Erming.

Among the current Soul Master sects, there has never been a sect that has a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast as its guardian Soul Beast.

If the Clear Sky Sect possessed a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, their influence in the Soul Master world would rise to an even higher level.

This is a win-win situation for both parties.

"But will the elders agree?"

From Xiao Wu's expression, it's easy to see that she's very worried about Er Ming. She's very tempted by Tang San's suggestion, but she's also worried that the elders of the Clear Sky Sect might harm Er Ming. The allure of a 100,000-year-old soul bone is hard to resist.
