Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 120 Shrek's Attempt to Steal a Chicken Backfires

After a long silence, Mu En spoke. "Three 100,000-year-old soul bones are too many. At most, I only have one. Besides, I don't have any 100,000-year-old ones; at most, I have 50,000-year-old ones."

After Mu En finished speaking, he looked at Kong Deming, the Silver Moon Douluo. Although Xiao Qiang was the one who spoke, Kong Deming was clearly the host of the Sun Moon Empire present. After all, he was the highest in terms of strength, cultivation, and seniority, and he was also the one who directly posed a threat to him among those present. Therefore, in Mu En's view, Kong Deming was the one who was actually talking to him, and Xiao Qiang was just speaking on Kong Deming's behalf at his suggestion.

After all, even Jing Hongchen was stunned by his existence, let alone a Soul King who was only level 50.

"You can discuss this matter with my grand-disciple; he can speak on my behalf."

Kong Deming, who was being stared at by Mu En, said that he could not extort someone who was about the same strength as him, or even stronger.

Jing Hongchen could feel the oppressive aura emanating from Mu En's strength, and he couldn't do it either. Given that neither he nor Jing Hongchen could do it, asking Xiao Qiang to do it seemed a bit unreliable, but there was no better way at the moment.

When neither he nor Jing Hongchen could calmly extort Mu En, it was best to let Xiao Qiang, a fearless young man, make the order.

Anyway, if this matter succeeds, great; if it fails, at worst a war will break out. The best outcome is that they get what they want, and the worst outcome is that they will eventually face the worst possible outcome. No matter how you look at it, the Sun Moon Empire won't lose out.

"Are you serious?" Moon's gaze was fixed on Kong Deming, humiliated! To have someone of his own generation speak to him was a blatant insult.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still many things to explain to Shrek Academy and that he hadn't expected this situation to occur, and therefore hadn't left the truly valuable items from his storage soul tool at Shrek Academy, Mu En would have really been prepared to fight Kong Deming to the death.

"Of course." After all, he didn't have much guts to extort Moon, so Xiao Qiang's youthful arrogance was the best way to achieve his goal.

"Alright, kid, I can only agree to one 50,000-year-old soul bone at most. I don't have any extra soul bones, and it's impossible for me to carry them with me at a time like this," Mu En said to Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang shook his head. "No, it has to be three soul bones, and they have to be 100,000 years old. There's no room for negotiation."

"Do you think I would bring three 100,000-year-old soul bones with me here? Is that even possible?"

"Of course it's possible," Xiao Qiang said with certainty.

Although Mu En in the original work appeared very open-minded, and even claimed that there were soul tools in Mingde Hall that could threaten him, Xiao Qiang knew the current state of the soul tools in Mingde Hall. In addition, Mu En said those words when he was about to die, so it was clear that Mu En's words at that time were just to make his subordinates truly take the soul tools seriously.

Like other high-ranking members of Shrek Academy, he harbored a deep aversion to soul tools. However, he knew that if Shrek Academy continued to be complacent and closed-minded, soul tools would eventually cause Shrek Academy to fall from its pedestal.

In this situation, spreading alarmist rumors to urge Shrek Academy to accelerate the development of soul tools, and using his seemingly infallible mouth to increase Shrek Academy's sense of crisis, would be the best outcome for Shrek Academy.

If he truly believed from the bottom of his heart that soul tools were more powerful than soul masters, Shrek Academy's soul tools would have been developed under his forced orders long ago, and he wouldn't have come to Mingde Hall alone to venture into the lion's den.

Xiao Qiang's deep-seated disdain for soul tools and his own arrogance in venturing alone into the lion's den led him to believe that he definitely possessed something valuable.

As for why there are three 100,000-year soul bones, it's because Mu En had already reached 100,000 years when he had his seventh soul ring.

In Douluo Continent III, the ability to fuse with 100,000-year or even ferocious beast spirit rings at the seventh spirit ring level was due to the spirit spirit. However, in Douluo Continent I and II, the spirit rings were normal, and the optimal spirit ring ratio of two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red was still the best for spirit masters.

Compared to Douluo Continent I, except for a few who have cheated, the soul ring ratios of others in Douluo Continent II are relatively normal. Excluding special cases of soul masters, no normal soul master can exceed the original soul ring absorption limit.

But Mu En jumped, and he started jumping from the fourth spirit ring. Although there is a saying that dragon-type spirit souls can enhance physical fitness, it is unreliable if you think about it carefully. If dragon-type spirit souls really could enhance physical fitness, then the so-called spirit ring absorption period would be completely irrelevant. One spirit soul with one absorption period is the normal situation.

Excluding the additional benefits of dragon-type martial souls, and considering situations like Tang San's, the reason why Mu En was able to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring on his fourth soul ring is quite obvious.

Compared to the first game, the abundance of soul bones in the second game was the key to absorbing soul rings from higher levels.

When Mu En was on his seventh spirit ring, he had already absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring. Referring to Tang San's absorption of a 100,000-year spirit ring during the first season of Douluo Continent, with the body tempering of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances upgraded to at least 10,000-year level, the head spirit bone amplified by the Heart of the Sea God, plus two 100,000-year spirit bones, and a 100,000-year spirit ring to cleanse his body, even so, it still took Tang San half his life when he absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring on his seventh spirit ring.

Tang San, who possessed five 100,000-year soul bones, nearly lost his life when fusing a 100,000-year soul ring at the seventh level. Given that 100,000-year soul bones were not common, if Mu En hadn't equipped him with six top-tier soul bones early on, he would never have been able to fuse a 100,000-year soul ring at the seventh level.

Furthermore, considering that Mu En had given Wang Dong a 100,000-year soul bone, and that Mu En had explicitly stated that he could not absorb any more soul bones after his own soul bone was full, Xiao Qiang could be certain that Mu En might be able to produce three 100,000-year soul bones.

"A soul bone that is 100,000 years old."

"No, it has to be three pieces, no discussion."

"I'll add another 50,000-year-old soul bone."

"No, it has to be three pieces, and they have to be 100,000 years old."

"Two pieces, that's all. Do you think a 100,000-year-old soul bone is as cheap as cabbage?!"

"No, three 100,000-year-old soul bones are both the asking price and the bottom line. If you only give us two, how are the three of us supposed to divide them?"

Jing Hongchen's eyebrows twitched wildly. He thought he was a good person, but when Mu En mentioned a 100,000-year soul bone plus a 50,000-year soul bone, he was already about to agree. He had never even thought that he could get two 100,000-year soul bones with just a few words, especially with the help of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

"Two 100,000-year soul bones and one 50,000-year soul bone, one for each of you three. Your cultivation level is capped at 50,000-year soul bones."

When Mu En said this, not only Jing Hongchen, but even Elder Kong couldn't help but agree. Two 100,000-year soul bones and one 50,000-year soul bone, one 100,000-year one for himself and his grand-disciple, and one 50,000-year one for Jing Hongchen, what a perfect distribution!

"No, it's three yuan for 100,000 years, and it has to be three yuan for 100,000 years. There's no room for negotiation on this price."

Moon and Xiao Qiang remained deadlocked for a long time. "Okay, but the Shrek exchange program will proceed as normal."

Before Xiao Qiang could speak, Jing Hongchen, who had already lost her composure, blurted out, "No problem!"

Xiao Qiang glanced silently at his teacher, then put his hands on his hips. "Exchange student is fine, but let me make this clear first, I'm not going!"
