Douluo Continent: Targeted Thoughts, Winning Over Bibi Dong at the Start

Half a day later.

A streak of emerald green light flew swiftly from the horizon, carrying a faint aura of poisonous miasma. It soon landed on the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. The newcomer was none other than the Azure Phosphorus Douluo—Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo has changed dramatically compared to the past. After condensing his soul core and completely removing the poison from his martial soul, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has now broken through to level ninety-four.

Compared to a few years ago, Dugu Bo now exudes a more reserved and profound aura, and his once slightly sinister brows now display a touch of composure and sharpness.

All of this is thanks to the strong support and resource allocation from the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Dugu Bo's loyalty to the Spirit Hall is extremely high, which is most evident in his attitude towards Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Second Elder!" Dugu Bo bowed immediately upon landing, his attitude respectful and sincere. "I rushed here immediately after receiving the message. May I ask what important matter you have summoned me back for?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo stroked his beard, nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "This old man and young Qin have to leave for a while to take care of some matters at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After we leave, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye cannot be left unattended, so I called you back."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback at first, then clasped his hands in a fist and said without hesitation, "Second Elder, please go with peace of mind! With me at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, there will absolutely be no problem. If anyone dares to trespass... Hmph, no matter who it is, I will never let them get away with it!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily and patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder: "Good! With you saying that, I can rest assured."

After saying that, Golden Crocodile Douluo turned to look at Qin Heng, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "Qin boy, let's go! I can't wait to see you spar with that old guy Gu Rong. I'm really curious about what level your strength has reached now."

Qin Heng smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "I will follow Grandpa Golden Crocodile's arrangements."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was always decisive and efficient. Since he had already decided to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to spar with Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, he didn't want to delay for a moment. He immediately took Qin Heng into the air, and the two figures turned into streams of light and quickly disappeared into the sky.

After watching Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qin Heng leave, Dugu Bo still looked somewhat bewildered. What had he just heard? His Highness Qin Heng wanted to spar with Gu Rong? Gu Rong was a level 95 Title Douluo!

Dugu Bo's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but Qin Heng and Golden Crocodile Douluo had already left. He shook his head helplessly, walked to the area of ​​poisonous herbs that he had personally cultivated, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate quietly.

The emerald green soul power slowly circulated around his body, forming a strange resonance with the surrounding poisonous plants. The poisonous miasma gradually intensified, yet he perfectly controlled it within a certain range.

As a member of the Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo naturally obtained the "Limitless Skill," a technique he acquired when the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method" spread throughout the Spirit Hall.

Dugu Bo has now entered the basics, and the Wuji Gong has become incredibly useful to him. Dugu Bo's greatest wish now is to rely on the Wuji Gong to create a cultivation method suitable for their lineage, and then pass this method down to strengthen the Dugu family.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

It is worth mentioning that Dugu Bo did not teach Dugu Yan the "Wuji Gong". Dugu Yan practiced the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method".

Without the permission of the Spirit Hall, even one's own descendants cannot pass on the Wuji Gong, and Dugu Bo naturally would not violate this taboo.

……

the other side.

Qin Heng and Golden Crocodile Douluo flew side by side in the sky, the white clouds beneath their feet rapidly receding, and the gale was easily kept out by the soul power shield of the two.

During the flight, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly turned his head and asked with a deep gaze, "Young Qin, what do you think of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Without hesitation, Qin Heng replied directly, "Grandpa Jin'e, I think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the only one among the three upper sects that could be completely subdued by our Spirit Hall."

"Oh?" Golden Crocodile Douluo raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Tell me your reasons."

Qin Heng composed himself slightly, his voice calm yet clear: "The reason is actually quite simple. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is almost entirely composed of support-type Soul Masters, who themselves have almost no direct combat ability."

Since the beginning of their establishment, they have always relied on the strong for survival. The fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can now rank among the top three sects and enjoy such a high status is entirely due to the protection of two peerless powerhouses, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

If anything were to happen to these two, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's position among the top three sects would be instantly jeopardized.

He paused, then continued, "For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, 'attaching to the strong' has long been their way of survival, even an instinct ingrained in their very bones. And our Spirit Hall is, in fact, the undisputed strongest on the continent today, possessing the objective conditions to subdue them."

After listening, Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Objective conditions alone are not enough. Ning Fengzhi is a man with great ambitions and deep cunning. He is definitely not someone who is willing to be subordinate to others."

Over the years, he has outwardly maintained friendly relations with all parties, but in reality, he has been secretly plotting to advance the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I worry that even if we have the advantage in strength, he may not be willing to bow down.

Qin Heng smiled slightly upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Grandpa Jin'e, I actually think that having ambition is not a bad thing."

"Hmm?" Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at him with some surprise.

"Having ambition means that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to continue to progress and expand. Given the situation of their sect, if they want to go further, they must rely on a more powerful existence."

Ning Fengzhi is now betting everything on Xue'er. Once Xue'er ascends the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire as Xue Qinghe, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will indeed be able to take this opportunity to rise to a higher level.

Qin Heng's voice gradually turned cold, carrying an undeniable domineering tone: "But Xue'er is not the real Xue Qinghe after all. Once Xue'er successfully ascends to the throne and takes control of the Heaven Dou Empire, that will be the best time for us to subdue the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"If Ning Fengzhi and Jian Gu, the two Douluos, are willing to submit at that time, that would be best. If they disobey... then kill them."

At this point, Qin Heng's tone was extremely calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so big, there must be a few people who are willing to listen to us."

"When the time comes, we can easily install any obedient person as sect leader. With the power and resources of our Spirit Hall, controlling the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not be difficult."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo remained silent for a moment, then gave Qin Heng a deep look, his eyes filled with both admiration and a hint of complexity. "Young Qin, your mind is far more ruthless and profound than mine was back then."

He chuckled softly, "If Ning Fengzhi heard what you said, he'd probably be restless and unable to eat or sleep."

Qin Heng smiled faintly: "In chaotic times, being soft-hearted will only harm both oneself and others. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's support abilities will be of great help to our future conquest of the continent, so I naturally hope to subdue them peacefully. But if they remain obstinate, then they can only blame themselves for choosing the wrong path."

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily and patted Qin Heng on the shoulder: "Good! You have ambition! This time when we go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I want to see how Ning Fengzhi and that old fellow Gu Rong react when they see you."

......

Seven Treasures City, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.

Three months ago, Ning Fengzhi spent a lot of money to buy the latest "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method" issued by the Spirit Hall from a deacon of the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City.

As soon as he got his hands on this technique, he immediately summoned Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong to study it together.

After a full month of seclusion, the three reached a consensus: this cultivation technique introduced by the Spirit Hall was indeed profound and extraordinary.

Compared to the meditation cultivation method passed down through generations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the cultivation efficiency has increased by nearly 50%, and the foundation is solid with no known side effects.

Ning Fengzhi made a decisive move, distributing the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method" to all disciples of the sect without reservation, and requiring everyone to specialize in practicing this method. The two top experts, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, also personally led the way in practicing it.

For a time, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was immersed in an unprecedentedly rich atmosphere of cultivation. Many disciples who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for years broke through one after another, and the overall strength of the sect showed a faint upward trend.

However, today, this rare peace has been completely shattered.

At noon, a terrifying pressure of soul power, as vast as the sea and as heavy as a mountain, suddenly surged into the sky above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School without warning!

This oppressive force, like a tangible ocean, poured down from the sky, instantly enveloping the entire Qibao Mountain.

The disciples who were cultivating groaned, and many of them were forced to their knees by the pressure, their faces pale and covered in cold sweat.

Those who were slightly weaker, especially those below the Soul Sect level, even bled from all seven orifices and nearly fainted on the spot.

Inside the main hall, Ning Fengzhi was handling sect affairs when his teacup shattered on the ground with a "crack".

He abruptly looked up at the sky, his refined face revealing undisguised shock: "This...this terrifying soul power pressure, is it level 98? Or level 99?"

At the same time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was in seclusion for cultivation, also sensed something, and a feeling of dread from his very soul arose in his heart!

"Such a powerful pressure! It's even more terrifying than my father's peak! Could it be a level 99 Limit Douluo?" Chen Xin suppressed his fear and immediately summoned his Seven Kill Sword. The brilliant sword light soared into the sky, and the Seven Kill Domain unfolded, transforming into an invisible barrier to protect himself. Only then could he barely withstand the terrifying pressure that was as heavy as a mountain and as deep as a prison.

He flashed, transforming into a sharp sword light that soared into the sky, forcefully resisting the oppressive force as he flew high into the air. When he saw who it was, Chen Xin's pupils suddenly contracted.

High in the sky, two figures floated side by side.

On the left is a burly, dignified old man, exuding a terrifying aura unique to a level 99 Limit Douluo.

The handsome young man on the right wore a black robe that fluttered in the wind. His soul power fluctuations were roughly at the Soul Emperor level, yet they made even Sword Douluo feel a little wary.

"I feel like I've seen this old man before, but I don't recognize this young man," Chen Xin thought to himself.

Below, Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi soared into the sky, the two of them standing beside Chen Xin, their expressions equally solemn.

Ning Fengzhi forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and maintained the composure that a sect leader should have.

He first gave Golden Crocodile Douluo a deep look, then turned his gaze to Qin Heng, cupping his hands and saying, "May I ask this senior's esteemed name? And what brings you to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School today?"

As soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly let out a cold snort. This cold snort was like a thunderclap from the heavens, containing the terrifying soul power of a level 99 Limit Douluo, and instantly exploded in the sky above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The violent aura poured down like a torrent, causing Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi to grunt simultaneously, and they had no choice but to immediately release their own martial spirits to defend themselves.

Behind the Bone Douluo Gu Rong, a huge bone dragon phantom appeared, while Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda slowly rose in front of him, its seven-colored treasure light flowing, barely managing to stabilize his figure.

The voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo, carrying powerful soul force, rolled like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Seven Treasures Mountain: "I am Golden Crocodile, the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall! As for why I have come here... Ning Fengzhi, how dare you ask?"

"Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School dared to steal the 'Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method' issued by my Martial Soul Hall to the Soul Masters within the Hall, and even allowed all your disciples to cultivate it! What is your crime?"

Upon hearing this, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fell into a deathly silence.

Ning Fengzhi's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He had long anticipated that the Spirit Hall would eventually hold him accountable for this matter, and he had already prepared his explanation. But he never expected that the Spirit Hall would actually send a true level 99 Limit Douluo this time!

A powerhouse of this caliber has already reached the pinnacle of the continent, and is far beyond what he can easily handle.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin frowned, the Seven Kill Sword humming in his hand, ready to strike at any moment. Bone Douluo Gu Rong also had a solemn expression, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qin Heng.

Ning Fengzhi braced himself, took a deep breath, and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty Golden Crocodile, please calm down! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed at fault in this matter, but we did not know that the cultivation technique was issued by the Martial Soul Hall."

We merely obtained the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method" by chance from a fallen Soul Master. Seeing its great benefits to cultivation, we allowed our disciples to practice it. We had absolutely no intention of offending the Spirit Hall. We humbly request Your Majesty's understanding!

"Hmph! Ning Fengzhi, do you think I'm senile and easy to bully?" Golden Crocodile Douluo was furious, and a huge phantom of the Golden Crocodile Dragon King Martial Soul suddenly appeared behind him! The giant crocodile roared to the sky, its aura overwhelming.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—nine spirit rings lit up in succession. In particular, the last one, a 100,000-year red spirit ring, resembled a blood moon hanging in the sky, radiating a terrifying pressure that made people's breaths suffocate!

In an instant, the wind and clouds above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School changed color.

Ning Fengzhi's face turned deathly pale, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda trembled violently.

He was merely a support-type Soul Master, and under the full pressure of a level 99 Limit Douluo, even breathing became extremely difficult, his legs trembled slightly, and he almost lost his balance.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong stepped forward simultaneously, each blocking Ning Fengzhi's path, their expressions equally grim.

"Your Majesty, Golden Crocodile!" Chen Xin said in a deep voice, "Let's talk this out. Why get angry? Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to give an explanation for what happened today."

Golden Crocodile Douluo, however, was completely unmoved. His gaze flashed like lightning as he coldly swept over the three: "An explanation? I'd like to hear how you intend to explain yourself!"

The phantom of the Golden Crocodile Dragon King behind him became increasingly solid, and the terrifying fluctuations in his soul power caused many disciples below to collapse to the ground, unable to move.

Standing beside Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qin Heng remained silent throughout, simply observing the scene, a faint, almost imperceptible, cold smile playing on his lips.

Everything was proceeding according to the script he and Grandpa Golden Crocodile had agreed upon.

This was a preemptive strike, using the matter of cultivation techniques to launch an attack, turning a provocation into a legitimate and justifiable act of accusation.

Cold sweat rolled down Ning Fengzhi's forehead. For the first time, he felt a strong sense of crisis. He knew that if he could not give the Spirit Hall a satisfactory answer today, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would probably face an unprecedented crisis!

A level 99 Limit Douluo is enough to kill all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
