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

Hu Bai didn't bother to follow up on what happened after Shrek Academy disbanded.

Given the relationship between Flander and Liu Erlong, it's highly likely that he's going to Tiandou City to seek refuge with Liu Erlong and get a position at her Blue Tyrant Academy.

The night was as deep and still as water.

Hu Bai finished his cultivation for the day and was resting in his room.

Over the past eight months, he deliberately relaxed his constantly tense mind and did not devote himself to soul power cultivation as much as before.

Even so, his soul power level steadily increased from level 73 to level 75.

There's nothing I can do; my talent is too great, I can't slow down even if I want to.

Aside from his two daily, unwavering hours of soul power cultivation, he spent the rest of his time either practicing and perfecting his elemental soul skills in the back mountain or spending time with Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue's second test as an angel god was not like the first test, which required almost complete closed-door ascetic training.

The first test is mainly about improving soul power, so every second counts and no time can be wasted.

The second test was much easier for her now.

Therefore, she had plenty of free time to cultivate the relationship between Hu Bai and her fiancé.

Of course, during this time, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena occasionally had some minor frictions.

After all, it's undeniable that Gu Yuena's face is indeed almost unfairly beautiful.

Moreover, with a woman's intuition, Qian Renxue was 100% certain that the silver-haired, purple-eyed woman harbored ulterior motives towards her Xiaobai.

As for whether it involves romantic feelings between men and women, it's hard to say, but it's definitely not simple!
Just tonight, Hu Bai had just unbuttoned his inner lining, preparing to change into his pajamas and rest.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the space of his room.

A stunningly beautiful figure with silver hair and purple eyes appeared in the room without warning.

This sudden turn of events startled Hu Bai.

When Gu Yuena suddenly appeared, she was stunned when she saw Hu Bai's open shirt, revealing a large expanse of his fair and muscular chest.

A rare look of embarrassment appeared on her fair and pretty face, and she subconsciously turned her head away.

"I think I've come at the wrong time."

Hu Bai didn't think anything of it.

It's just the upper body, it's not like he wasn't wearing pants, so what if he saw it?

This is mainly because Hu Bai's soul still retains the thoughts of a modern person.

But Gu Yuena is different.

In this era, the prevailing social atmosphere is more in line with ancient times compared to Hu Bai's previous life.

Seeing a man's upper body so closely made her heart, which had been dormant for thousands of years, beat slightly faster.

A year has passed, and she is no longer the ignorant Silver Dragon King she once was.

She had already learned a great deal about the common knowledge of the world of Soul Masters through various books.

"Ahem, it's so late, what brings you here?" Hu Bai quickly got dressed, breaking the awkward silence.

Gu Yuena turned around, her expression already regaining its cool and aloof demeanor.

"Are you planning to go to the Killing City tomorrow?"

"Ah."

“I’ve come to say goodbye.” Gu Yuena looked at him, a complex emotion in her purple eyes. “After you leave, I’m also preparing to leave the Spirit Hall.”

Hu Bai was somewhat surprised by the news that Gu Yuena was leaving.

"Where are you going? Isn't it better to stay in the Spirit Hall?"

Gu Yuena shook her head: "I'm only leaving temporarily. I'm going to a very far place to find something that's very important to me."

"Things?" Hu Bai asked.

Gu Yuena nodded: "Yes, we're going to another continent."

She hesitated for a moment, but still told him the information.

She herself didn't know why, but when facing Hu Bai, she always seemed to unconsciously talk more.

As soon as she said that, Hu Bai understood instantly.

In this world, if there is anything that could attract the attention of Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, and it is on another continent...
There is only one answer.

In the third part of the Douluo Continent storyline, there is the Dragon Tomb in the spatial rift, and inside the Dragon Tomb is the Heart of the Dragon God!
With the Heart of the Dragon God, Gu Yuena can expend her essence to briefly activate the Dragon God's divine position and possess power at the level of a Dragon God.

But when Hu Bai thought of the Dragon Tomb, he thought of something else.

Beneath the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire lay the skeletons of the two Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

He originally planned to absorb those two soul bones after he had cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo.

But now, Gu Yuena is about to head to Dragon Valley, the place where countless dragon corpses are buried.

This made him a little conflicted.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Yuena was quick-witted and immediately noticed the change in Hu Bai's expression.

A thought struck her, and she tentatively asked, "Don't you want me to leave?"

Gu Yuena clearly misunderstood.

In fact, besides saying goodbye, her late-night visit this time may also have been a way of testing Hu Bai's true thoughts.

Will he ask me to stay?

However, Hu Bai simply shook his head.

"With your strength, you definitely won't encounter any danger after you go out. Moreover, I just used the power of fate to divine your future, and your journey should be very smooth."

Not hearing the answer she was expecting, Gu Yuena felt a little empty inside.

But the next moment, a pair of silver short blades shimmering with spatial light appeared in Hu Bai's hand.

"Although you have the Silver Dragon Spear, just in case, I'll lend you this spatial artifact for now. If you encounter an unexpected event that you can't overcome, you might be able to hide in another dimension."

Hu Bai didn't know if Gu Yuena would do anything else besides the Dragon God's Heart when she went out this time.

But the investment he's making now is definitely going to be a huge profit.

Gu Yuena looked at the pair of divine artifacts radiating a sacred aura in Hu Bai's hands, her purple eyes flashing.

She paused for a moment, then a beautiful smile curved her lips: "Okay."

Although he didn't get a satisfactory answer, Hu Bai's approach seems...not bad?
"Aren't you afraid that if I go out this time and take your artifact, I'll never come back?" Gu Yuena asked curiously as she took the short blade.

Hu Bai smiled, his eyes clear and confident: "No, you will definitely come back."

Although it was just a simple sentence, Gu Yuena was very pleased with this unreserved trust.

"I'm leaving." She put away the divine artifact, said nothing more, and vanished from the room in a flash.

Hu Bai looked at the spot where Gu Yuena had been standing and sighed softly to himself.

In the end, he still did not reveal the location of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's remains.

First, Gu Yuena didn't tell him she was going to Dragon Valley, so he had no reason to bring up the Ice and Fire Dragon King on his own initiative.

Secondly, the existence of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's corpse is the foundation for the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Once the Dragon King's remains are removed, that treasure land will completely dissipate within a few thousand years at most.

He couldn't reveal Gu Yuena's identity just because he knew it. That would be irresponsible to the Spirit Hall and to the old monster, Dugu Bo.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he decided to temporarily lend out his spatial artifact.

Hopefully, when Gu Yuena discovers that he has absorbed the soul bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, she will consider the favor she received from him for borrowing the divine artifact and not hold it against him too much.

the next day.

In front of the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong personally saw Hu Bai, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena off.

a few days later.

The four traveled swiftly and finally arrived at the entrance to the City of Slaughter.

Bibi Dong pointed to the blood-red gate and said in a deep voice to the three of them:
"Be careful once you're inside. Although Xiaobai is subject to many restrictions, he's constantly creating his own soul skills, so I'm not worried. But Xieyue, Nana, you two must be extra careful, and always prioritize your safety!"

"Understood, teacher," Xie Yue and Hu Liena said respectfully at the same time.

During this time, the two of them were also busy.

Xie Yue specifically asked Hu Bai how to maximize the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger without using soul skills.

Because his fifth spirit ring was extremely special, obtained by absorbing the Evil God Pearl, his body instinctively developed muscle memory for some of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's skills.

It can be said that this fifth spirit ring is less of a spirit skill and more of a "medium" that provides a variety of abilities.

After receiving guidance from Hu Bai and undergoing a period of training, he did indeed achieve considerable results.

Now, it is possible to use weakened versions of the Evil God Slash and Evil Wind Blade without activating the fifth spirit ring.

In the Killing City, this is already a very strong trump card.

As for Hu Liena, although she cannot use soul skills, the soul rings on her body provide a huge passive boost to her mental power.

During this period, apart from cultivating her soul power, she spent all her remaining time under Hu Bai's guidance learning the refined application of mental power.

For example, how to condense mental impact into a needle for a single-point burst; how to use mental power to quickly create an illusion that is indistinguishable from reality.

Influenced by Hu Bai, both Xie Yue and Hu Liena deeply understood that they should never rely too much on soul skills.

When you have the resources, creating your own soul skills that are highly compatible with your own abilities is the true path to victory!

Bibi Dong led Hu Bai and the other two to the cave that resembled the gaping maw of a demon.

She didn't say anything more, just waited quietly.

Soon, a woman dressed in tight black clothes, with heavy makeup and blood-red lips, slowly emerged from the shadows.

She had no soul power fluctuations, but she exuded a chilling aura that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Slaughterers!
The Slaughter Messenger walked up to Bibi Dong, bowed respectfully, and spoke with a tone of respect, but without any human emotion.

"Your Excellency the God of Slaughter, are you sure you want to send your three disciples to the City of Slaughter?"

"As you know, once you enter the City of Slaughter, your soul skills will be completely sealed. To get out, you must win one hundred consecutive matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena and successfully pass through the Hell Road, where you are almost guaranteed to die."

Bibi Dong nodded calmly: "I know the rules."

Seeing Bibi Dong's resolute attitude, the Slaughter Messenger bowed slightly again, then looked at Hu Bai and the other two, his unwavering eyes sweeping over them.

"Come on, come in with me."

Hu Bai and the other two followed the Slaughter Envoy and entered the deep, blood-red gate.

The moment you step inside, a strong smell of blood hits you.

Hu Liena quietly activated telepathy.

"Big brother, second brother, who is this Slaughter Messenger? I feel like she can come and go freely in the Slaughter City. And I can sense that although she is very respectful to the teacher, she is very cold and indifferent, not like a living person."

Hu Bai was also observing from the shadows, and replied via telepathy, "I don't know her origins either. Perhaps she was trained by the King of Slaughter using special methods, or perhaps she was a fallen one herself, but was chosen by the King of Slaughter to become his representative because of certain qualities."

"As for free movement, there should be restrictions. I guess the area she can move around in is limited to this town at most, and she can't go too far away from the Killing City."

As they spoke, the Killer's monotone voice began to ring in their ears, introducing this city of sin.

"The Killing City holds notorious criminals, traitors, and despondents from all over the continent."

"If you intend to sign up for the deathmatch in the Hell Slaughter Arena, you can find me at the bar in the outer city. Remember, you must participate in at least one match within a year, or you will die."

"As newcomers, you have a one-month adjustment period. Within this month, you must sign up for your first life-or-death battle."

"In every life-or-death battle, ten Fallen Ones will participate. In the end, only the one who survives will be the victor."

"When you have won one hundred consecutive victories, you will be qualified to ask the great King of Slaughter to open the road to hell for you."

Hearing this, Xie Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "When was the last time someone achieved a hundred-game winning streak and unlocked the Hell Road?"

"hehe."

Upon hearing this question, a cold, mocking sneer suddenly appeared on the killer's stiff face.

"The last time? It's been about ten years."

She turned her head and looked at Xie Yue with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Didn't the Goddess of Slaughter who was waiting for you outside tell you about her glorious deeds?"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena were both jolted, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

"You mean, our teacher is the one who most recently crossed the Road to Hell?!"

The Slaughterer nodded, his tone carrying a hint of self-righteous mockery.

"Yes. Do you think winning a hundred consecutive matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena is such an easy thing? Unless you're a desperate prisoner, who would want to come to such a hellish place?"

"Only your Spirit Hall and that Clear Sky Sect would consider this place a training ground."

Although the Slaughterer didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was quite clear.

Only a bunch of perverts like you would choose to willingly enter this hell on earth.

Everyone else tries their best to escape from here, but your Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect are doing the opposite, sending in the most talented young generation every now and then.

And, most ridiculously, they all succeeded in the end.

This is simply unimaginable.

P.S.: Please, brothers, don't let the book sit unfinished! (End of Chapter)
