Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Chapter 228 Gu Yuena's Identity Can No Longer Be Hidden? (Part 2)

Not long after, Hu Bai and his group returned to Wuhun City.

The people from Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy were immediately arranged to stay in a hotel in the city to wait for Xuan Zhao, while Hu Bai, his parents, and Dugu Bo went to see Bibi Dong first.

Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the four return safely, and then listened as Dugu Bo recounted the details of the battle.

This battle can be described as a great victory; all that's left is to wait for the Heavenly Dou Royal Family to send the ransom.

However, Bibi Dong was worried that, given the current situation of the Heaven Dou Empire, would they still send someone to deliver the ransom?

However, they probably wouldn't dare not pay the ransom. If they didn't, they would lose the support of the people, which would likely greatly reduce the soldiers' willingness to fight for the empire.

At that time, the Heavenly Dou Empire will truly collapse without a fight!

After Dugu Bo left, Bibi Dong looked at Xie Tian and Hu Leyao and asked, "How was your trip?"

"Your Majesty, I was lucky this time and managed to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but Le Yao's situation is not so good. It seems that there are no 100,000-year-old spiritual attribute soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"So her ninth spirit ring was a divinely bestowed spirit ring given to her by Xiaobai," Xie Tian said truthfully.

Bibi Dong had anticipated this situation.

Rather, it was unexpected that Xie Tian was able to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.

After all, 100,000-year-old soul beasts aren't exactly common.

After the sacrifice of four 100,000-year-old soul beasts last time, plus the 100,000-year-old Purple Winged Spider King soul ring she still possesses, there are probably not many 100,000-year-old soul beasts left in the Star Dou Great Forest.

If one still wants to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, the only option will likely be to travel to the far north or the sea.

Or perhaps the undeveloped far west and Death Valley.

"Oh, by the way, recently a talent second only to you has come to the city. She's a level 55, 12-year-old, offensive-type Soul King. Her first Soul Ring configuration is even better than yours. She's named Zi Zi Zi Hei Hei. She's already enrolled in school and is specifically looking for you."

Martial Soul: Silver Dragon?

A twelve-year-old Battle Soul King?

Is there really such a terrifying soul ring configuration?

Based on these few pieces of information, Hu Bai could roughly guess who this person was.

Why is the Silver Dragon King, who was staying peacefully in the Star Dou Great Forest, running out here for no reason?
"Looking for me?"

"Teacher, did she say where she came from? Why does she have this kind of spirit ring configuration?"

Hu Bai knew that they should have some understanding of Gu Yuena's background, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed such an "outlier" to enroll.

After all, the materials for body tempering are basically monopolized by the Spirit Hall, and other spirit masters have no way to improve their physique.

It can't be called a monopoly, but rather that those people were unaware of the effects of whale glue, while the Spirit Hall secretly acquired whale glue that was over a thousand years old.

However, after several years of acquisitions, the amount of whale glue that is over a thousand years old on the mainland is also not much.

After all, whale glue comes from the bodies of whale-like sea spirit beasts, and its quantity is limited.

Bibi Dong nodded: "She said that she was adopted by the ferocious beast Emerald Swan when she was a child. The reason why her first spirit ring could last for a thousand years is because her martial spirit is special and surpasses all dragon-type spirit beasts. Those dragon-type spirit beasts are willing to sacrifice themselves."

"Furthermore, her innate soul power is actually at level 20, which means that she has also been favored by a certain god, otherwise it would be impossible for her to have an extra ten levels of soul power."

Qian Renxue was at the 20th level of the Innate Realm, but she knew that 10 of those levels were divinely bestowed soul power. In fact, her cultivation speed was the same as that of someone at the 10th level of the Innate Realm.

The extra ten levels are merely soul power.

Hu Bai chuckled inwardly. What do you mean by being favored by a god? Gu Yuena herself is a god.

Although she doesn't hold any divine position, even now that she's injured, her strength is estimated to be comparable to the peak of a first-level god.

"The ferocious beast, the Emerald Swan?"

The Snow Empress's voice echoed from the Sea of ​​Spirit: "Could she be talking about Bi Ji?"

"Little Bai, I must remind you, although I don't know much about the Star Dou Great Forest, I do know about the major ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. I've even met Di Tian before."

"But I have never heard from Di Tian that Bi Ji ever adopted a human girl with a silver dragon martial soul."

"I vaguely know that above Di Tian, ​​there is actually another master, whose name is... yes! The Silver Dragon King! This little girl is suspicious, Xiao Bai, you have to be careful."

“A lie mixed with the truth is the hardest thing to detect,” the Snow Empress said coldly.

Hu Bai chuckled: "Don't worry, Xue Di, I know what I'm doing. She's gone to great lengths to get close to me, and I want to see what she's planning to do."

Gu Yuena never expected that before she could even begin her plan to get close to Hu Bai, her true identity would already be exposed.

Little did she know that two ferocious beasts from the far north resided within Hu Bai's body.
However, Hu Bai knew that since Gu Yuena had transformed into human form to approach him, she probably didn't mean any harm.

Therefore, he does not intend to tell Bibi Dong the truth.

Perhaps due to preconceived notions, his perception of Gu Yuena remained limited to the title of 'Lewd Dragon King'.

It's not that Gu Yuena is particularly lewd, but rather that some of her decisions are problematic.

If she had killed Tang Wulin from the very beginning, then probably none of this would have happened.

By the time they finally made up their minds to kill, they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

However, if Gu Yuena had attacked Tang Wulin from the beginning, Tang Wulin might not have died, since he still had a backup plan left by Tang San inside his body.

However, the situation 20,000 years from now is different from now, so he was also curious about what Gu Yuena was going to do.

However, he already had a vague guess in his heart that their last trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, where they sacrificed four 100,000-year-old soul beasts, probably attracted the attention of the core circle of ferocious beasts.

And since he had been using the power of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest, it was hard for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion not to sense it.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion of Ten Thousand Years has a cultivation of fifteen thousand years. Due to the characteristics of her race, her cultivation level is the same as her age.

In other words, she now has five thousand years of cultivation.

It is estimated that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion informed Di Tian of the power of destiny he sensed, and Di Tian then told Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena sensed the aura of a deity on Hu Bai, which is why she didn't let Di Tian act rashly, fearing that he would be discovered by the gods of the divine realm.

Hu Bai quickly figured out most of Gu Yuena's intentions in leaving the Star Dou Great Forest ahead of schedule.

However, it took Gu Yuena 20,000 years to fully recover from her injuries. She must still be seriously injured now.
Hu Bai had a guess in his mind.

However, even with her injuries, her current strength is not something he can easily exploit.

However, if Gu Yuena wants to act, he'll gladly oblige!

"Then I'll go see her."

Hu Bai said, "Teacher, all the spies among the Soul Masters who went to war have been caught, and the others who have earned military merits have also been recorded. I hope we can give them some good rewards. As for those Soul Masters who died, those who have families should not be treated unfairly either."

Bibi Dong nodded: "Don't worry, I'll handle all of this. Why don't you rest for a bit before going to the academy?" "No, thank you." Hu Bai shook his head: "By the way, how are my brother and Nana?"

"They are both working hard to cultivate, but Nana is only a Soul Master now. It will take her at least a year and a half to reach the Soul King level."

Hu Bai smiled and said, "It's alright. I'll take this year and a half to slow down my cultivation. Being constantly tense isn't good for cultivation."

"In a few months, Sister Xiaoxue's first exam should be over, and she'll have time to rest."

He wasn't in a hurry for this fourth test.

He could easily pass the test of the Slaughter City, even using only his self-created soul skills, but Xie Yue and Hu Liena could not.

Although high-level Soul Masters do not have much of an advantage when entering the City of Slaughter, and cannot use Soul Power to suppress low-level Soul Masters, they can only use Soul Power and Soul Bone Skills.

However, the difference in total soul power between a Soul King and a Soul Master is enormous.

Entering the City of Slaughter, it's always safer for a Soul King.

Soon, Hu Bai entered the Spirit Hall Academy.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he last visited the academy.

As soon as he entered, many people who recognized him greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, the Holy Son, you've come to the academy!"

"Your Highness, you've worked hard!"

"Your Highness, Holy Son"

Finally, Hu Bai couldn't take it anymore, so he simply found a place where there were few people and used mental simulation to make himself invisible.

"Hahaha, even you have moments of fear." Hyotei laughed heartily.

Hu Bai wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead: "There's nothing I can do, they're just too enthusiastic. You didn't see some of the girls, they really aren't afraid of me, their Holy Prince, at all."

"Knowing I have a good temper, they even wanted to get their hands on me! I feel like if I weren't strong enough, they could have dragged me straight into their room."

"They're plotting against me!" Hu Bai protested.

Hyotei chuckled: "What, quite popular, huh? I told you long ago, you'd have plenty of unwanted suitors. As you've grown older, you've really blossomed, becoming even more handsome. What girl could resist the allure of a handsome man?"

Hu Bai teased, "What about Hyotei? You don't actually like me, do you?"

"Pooh!"

"How could I possibly like a human like you? I belong to the Snow Empress."

Hyotei said with an arrogant expression.

"No way, I just love Xiaobai's looks," Xue Di retorted.

"Waaaaah, Snow Empress, how could you abandon me!" Ice Empress floated in front of Snow Empress, looking at her with teary eyes, trying to gain her sympathy, showing none of the demeanor one would expect from an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Hu Bai chuckled and shook his head.

As he walked, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask Bibi Dong where Gu Yuena was in the academy.

Because he rarely came to the academy, he didn't even know where the female host was.

Helpless, Hu Bai grabbed someone at random and pulled them into the nearby bushes, revealing his true form. He asked, "Tell me, where is the girls' dormitory?"

The captured young soul master was about to release his martial soul when he saw the unique appearance of the person in front of him and immediately recognized him as His Highness the Holy Son.

A strange look immediately appeared on his face: "Your Highness, isn't this inappropriate? If you want to know where the women's dormitory is, you don't have to drag me into the bushes!"

"If you just shout on the street, a lot of girls will be willing to take you there, or even take you into their dorms."

The young man was of average appearance and spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone, but he wasn't jealous; he just seemed envious.

Hu Bai said helplessly, "Just tell me where you are. Do you think I don't know what you're saying? I don't want to be watched by so many people."

The young Soul Master immediately realized that although the Holy Son's body appeared to be developing normally, he was actually not even 11 years old yet.

Being pursued by older women like that is indeed quite distressing.

But should we let him suffer this kind of distress?
"Your Highness, keep walking forward, then turn left, keep walking, and then turn right. That will take you to the girls' dormitory."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Hu Bai vanished in a flash, leaving behind a thousand-year-old Body Tempering Pill in the young Soul Master's hand.

This made him extremely happy, because although the Body Tempering Pill could be exchanged for by students using points, its value was ridiculously high.

If you don't do quests often, it's quite difficult to get a Body Tempering Pill, let alone a thousand-year-old one!

"You're quite the big spender, aren't you? You just throw out a thousand-year-old Body Tempering Pill like that." Ice Emperor teased.

Hu Bai continued towards the girls' dormitory and said, "There's nothing I can do. This pill is probably the least valuable thing I have on me."

Hyotei:
Given his status, it's quite normal for him to have some pills in reserve, and they would all be top-quality.

He only has the thousand-year-old Body Tempering Pill; he doesn't have the ten-year or hundred-year-old ones.

He couldn't offer a soul-restoring pill as a token of gratitude, since a soul-restoring pill was far more useful to him than a body-tempering pill.

Soon, he arrived at the female protagonist's accommodation area.

However, there is a large gate in front of the accommodation area, and there is a female dormitory manager who looks quite capable.

He probably won't be able to get in.

Moreover, the girls' dormitory has several sections, and he didn't know if Gu Yuena lived here.

Given Gu Yuena's talent, she should be living alone in a small apartment.

However, probably in this area, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Hu Bai simply took out the artifact of destiny.

"Locate the location of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!"

Suddenly, Hu Bai's expression changed drastically, and the soul power within his body decreased rapidly!

He quickly stopped the location tracking. In just three seconds, his soul power was reduced to only one-third!
Although the connection was broken, a portion of the thread of fate was still created, pointing towards a certain area.

"It seems certain that Gu Yuena is the Silver Dragon King from the Star Dou Great Forest. Even when you were searching for a 100,000-year-old soul beast, you didn't expend this much energy!"

Both the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor's expressions turned serious.
