Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 194 The Ownership of the 100,000-Year-Old Soul Bone
"A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, hehe... what a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone."

Ye Ling examined the soul bone in the lead box in his hand, a playful expression on his face.

"Young Master, is there a problem with this soul bone?"

Kong Deming, who was standing next to Ye Ling, asked with some confusion.

"The soul beast that lost this soul bone must have died less than 100,000 years ago."

Ye Ling handed the lead box to Kong Deming.

"It must be that the Holy Spirit Cult used some kind of catalytic method to artificially push the age of this soul bone to 100,000 years."

Kong Deming hadn't examined the soul bone closely when he received it, but his eyes narrowed upon hearing the words "Holy Spirit Sect."

"Young Master, how did you know that the person who won the bid for that near-level nine soul tool, the Kiss of Death, was from the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"And this soul bone, how did you tell that it was forcibly catalyzed?"

In the research on soul bones, especially 100,000-year soul bones, the Sun Moon Empire is no match for the original Douluo Continent.

After all, in the entire Sun Moon Empire, only Kong Deming possessed a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

"The 100,000-year-old skull that we used as a reward for the individual competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament was dropped by a Blue Silver Emperor that I forcibly catalyzed to 100,000 years old."

Ye Ling pointed to the left arm bone in the lead box and explained.

"Ordinary soul beasts need to undergo a heavenly tribulation to break through 100,000 years. Soul bones like this, which have not undergone a heavenly tribulation but have reached 100,000 years of age, still lack some spiritual charm compared to true 100,000-year soul bones."

"Although they are quite similar, there are still some differences."

Kong Deming carefully examined the soul bone in his hand, and nodded after a moment.

“Indeed, a 100,000-year-old soul bone is like a living thing, but this soul bone is a dead thing.”

After he finished speaking, Kong Deming's eyes widened in surprise.

"Doesn't this mean they traded a pseudo-100,000-year-old soul bone for our near-level nine soul-guided cannonball?"

"So the reason I called you here, Elder Kong, is to ask if you can still locate and control that near-level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell?"

This is the main reason why Ye Ling came to find Kong Deming.

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming took out a palm-sized, mirror-like object from his pocket, with a red dot on it that was constantly glowing.

"That near-level nine soul-guided shell is still within our monitoring range."

"We can detonate it at any time, and the detonation device and the tracking device are connected together."

"If they forcibly dismantle it, this near-level nine soul-guided cannonball will explode immediately."

Kong Deming looked at the tracking device in his hand and said.

"Let's keep a close watch on it for now."

Ye Ling sneered.

"The Holy Spirit Cult Soul Douluo who came this time does not have obvious characteristics of a Fallen One."

"If it weren't for his powerful yet complex mental strength, I wouldn't necessarily be able to make a certainty."

The Holy Spirit Cult, starting from Douluo Continent II, spans the entire timeline of Douluo Continent.

Its strength is undoubtedly undeniable, but the fundamental reason lies in the fact that the Holy Spirit Cult is too good at hiding its true nature.

"Let's find out where their stronghold is before we make any rash moves."

"Yes, Young Pavilion Master."

Kong Deming nodded slightly, then put down the soul bone in his hand and left to busy himself with tracking the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Young Master, what brings you here?"

Not long after Kong Deming left, Long Aotian and Vina, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, came to the small pavilion again.

“Aotian, you have worked hard guarding Gengjin City all these years.”

Ye Ling looked at Long Aotian, whose appearance had not changed much, but whose aura was obviously much more composed, and couldn't help but nod.

"Serving the sect is not hard work."

Long Aotian bowed to Ye Lingwei, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Ye Ling was even more satisfied now.

If Douluo Dalu didn't exist in Peerless Tang Sect, then the title of the number one genius on the continent should belong to Long Aotian.

"I think your soul power level should be around level 76 by now."

Ye Ling's dark golden pupils scanned Long Aotian up and down for a moment before he asked.

When Long Aotian was first summoned, his soul power level was level 72. Now, five years later, his soul power has increased to level 76.

In the realm of Soul Saint, this is nothing short of remarkable.

Long Aotian nodded upon hearing this, but remained silent.

"This soul bone is the left arm bone that fell from a 100,000-year-old Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle. You can take it and absorb it."

Ye Ling pointed to the lead box on the table and nodded towards Long Aotian.

For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Long Aotian's face.

“You’ve heard Elder Poison say that you have a 100,000-soul bone inherited from the Body Sect in your right arm.”

"Now I will give you another piece of 100,000-year-old soul bone from your left arm, which will complement each other perfectly."

Long Aotian was a little dazed.

No way, he just gave him a 100,000-year-old soul bone with a few words? Is this some kind of free lunch?
"Young Master, this is far too precious, I..."

Long Aotian opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish, Ye Ling waved his hand to interrupt him.

"I'm giving you this 100,000-year-old soul bone as a reward for your many years of service in guarding Gengjin City."

"Secondly, I have a task to give to you and Vina."

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian's expression finally relaxed slightly.

"Please give your orders, Young Master."

"First, to break through to the Soul Douluo realm before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, the eighth soul ring must be a 100,000-year soul ring."

"Of course, I will also bestow upon you a Pure Water Mystic Pill, which can increase your innate soul power by one level."

"You could possibly do it?"

"I will obey the young master's orders."

Long Aotian bowed and said.

Absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul bone would at least raise his soul power by one or two levels, in addition to the level of innate soul power boosted by the Clear Water Mystic Pill.

He is extremely confident that he can break through the bottleneck of Contra in the near future.

As for the requirement of 100,000 years for the eighth spirit ring, that was a goal he had already set for himself.

"There's one more thing that I need you to take responsibility for."

Ye Ling raised his hand slightly and continued speaking.

"However, you two will need to wait here for a moment."

Although the two had some doubts, they chose to wait patiently.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

They only saw Zhang Lexuan leading several students to the pavilion from afar.

"Young Master, these are the team members I selected for our team this time."

Zhang Lexuan bowed to Ling Weiwei and pointed to a group of students behind her.

"Let me introduce you."

Ye Ling waved his hand.

"Yes."

Zhang Lexuan nodded.

"Shui Bing'er, Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix, Power Attack Type, Soul Power Level: 50."

"Dugu Yan, Martial Soul: Azure Phosphorous Purple Dragon, Control Type, Soul Power Level: 46."

"Jing Ling, Martial Soul: Skeleton, Defense Type, Soul Power Level: 43."

"Talon, Martial Soul: Mighty Gorilla, Power Attack Type, Soul Power Level: 40."

"Bai Chenxiang, Martial Soul: Sharp-tailed Swallow, Agility-type, Soul Power Level: 38."

“Osro, Martial Soul: Ghost Leopard, Agility-based, Soul Power Level: 37.”

"Jiangzhu, Martial Soul: Healing Scepter, Support Type, Soul Power Level: 35."

"Xue Ke, Martial Soul: Swan, Support Type, Soul Power Level: 32."
