Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 101 Team Up to Hunt Souls!

Zhu Ziyang didn't go to class. After telling Jiang Nannan, he went to Poseidon Island.

Sea God Pavilion.

"Huh?" Mu En sensed Zhu Ziyang's presence and was somewhat puzzled. However, when Zhu Ziyang walked in, he immediately understood the reason and asked with a hint of joy in his voice, "Ziyang, you've broken through?"

"Mhm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded.

"Good, good, good!" Mu En said three times, his aged face beaming with joy. "You really haven't disappointed your teacher. Very good, very good. Have you decided on your fourth spirit ring?"

"No," Zhu Ziyang shook his head and replied. His martial soul quality had already reached the level of a super martial soul, so there was no need to continue adding soul rings using the previous method. As a super martial soul, any soul beast suitable for Zhu Ziyang would be fine; there was no need to be overly fixated on attributes. After all, unless both possessed the same ultimate attribute, any light-attribute soul beast would have the same effect on enhancing the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe.

"Oh, I see. Then go find your senior brother and ask him to take you to find the spirit ring," Mu En said with a smile.

"Okay," Zhu Ziyang agreed, and then took his leave.

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Zhu Ziyang found Yan Shaozhe on the Golden Ancient Tree. After explaining his purpose to Yan Shaozhe, Yan Shaozhe looked surprised.

"Junior Brother, you really surprise me," Yan Shaozhe said with a smile. "Perfect timing. There's a group of inner court disciples who also need to acquire spirit rings today. I'll take you to meet them, and you can go with them to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings."

"Okay, no problem." Zhu Ziyang thought for a moment and then agreed. After obtaining his fourth spirit ring, he would definitely join the inner court, so it wouldn't hurt to get to know more inner court disciples now.

"Okay, come with me."

Yan Shaozhe led Zhu Ziyang to the Sea God Plaza, where more than ten inner court disciples were gathered. The leader was Zhang Lexuan, and in front of these inner court disciples was Taotie Douluo Xuanzi.

Xuanzi noticed Yan Shaozhe and Zhu Ziyang, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He immediately asked, "Shaozhe, Ziyang, what's going on?"

"Elder Xuan, Ziyang also needs a soul ring to break through, so why don't you take him along?" Yan Shaozhe explained.

"Greetings, Elder Xuan!" Zhu Ziyang greeted him respectfully.

"Really?" Xuanzi paused in his grip on the chicken leg, then said, "Alright, go over to Lexuan's side and get to know the others."

"Yes!" Zhu Ziyang nodded and walked towards the group of inner court disciples.

"I've delivered the person, Elder Xuan, thank you for your help!" Yan Shaozhe said, and then left.

"Hmph! You brat! You're giving this old man no peace of mind!" Elder Xuan muttered, then looked at the disciples.

As Zhu Ziyang walked towards the inner court disciples, they noticed him. There were twelve inner court disciples present, and besides Zhang Lexuan, Zhu Ziyang only recognized Ma Xiaotao.

"Ziyang, come over here!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up when she saw Zhu Ziyang, and she immediately called out. Half a year had passed, and Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao's relationship had become very good. In those six months, Zhu Ziyang only helped Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire twice; the rest of the time, Ma Xiaotao endured it all on her own. It has to be said that this girl's willpower was amazing.

"Sister Xiaotao." Zhu Ziyang walked towards Ma Xiaotao.

The other inner court disciples looked at Zhu Ziyang with great curiosity. After all, Zhu Ziyang's age, his school uniform, and the personal gift from Yan Shaozhe all fueled their desire to learn more. Humans, without exception, love gossip.

"Little brother Ziyang, you've broken through too?" Ma Xiaotao asked with a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and joy.

"You just broke through this morning, Sister Xiaotao, you broke through too?" Zhu Ziyang asked.

"Hehe, I broke through a few days ago, but I only waited until today to prepare to go hunting for spirit rings with everyone," Ma Xiaotao said with a charming laugh.

"Oh, I understand." Zhu Ziyang nodded, then looked at the inner courtyard disciples beside him and asked, "Do all of these require spirit rings?"

"That's right," Ma Xiaotao said. "It's a tradition of our inner academy. Whenever an inner academy disciple needs a spirit ring to break through, they will apply to the academy to hunt for a spirit ring. Then the academy will gather all the disciples in the inner academy who need spirit rings recently and form a spirit hunting team, led by an elder, to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find spirit rings."

"What if only one person breaks through during that period? We can't just keep waiting, can we?" Zhu Ziyang asked, expressing his doubts.

"Don't worry, how could the academy ignore such a loophole? If no more than five disciples need a spirit ring within half a month, the elders will still lead them to hunt for spirit rings," Ma Xiaotao explained.

"I understand." Zhu Ziyang nodded and said, "So this time, our team leader is Elder Xuan?"

"That's right," Ma Xiaotao said.

"Xiao Tao, who is this handsome young man? Could he be Master Yan's new disciple?" While Zhu Ziyang was talking to Ma Xiaotao, a pretty female student, about eighteen or nineteen years old, came over and looked at Zhu Ziyang with curiosity.

"Sister Ming, his name is Zhu Ziyang, and he's an outer academy disciple," Ma Xiaotao introduced to the female student. "Ziyang, this is Senior Sister Wu Ming."

"Hello, senior." Zhu Ziyang greeted her with a smile.

"Little brother, you're so good. Do you have a girlfriend yet? What do you think of me?" Wu Ming asked with a gleam in her eyes and a silly grin on her face.

Zhu Ziyang's face darkened, and Ma Xiaotao's face also darkened. She pulled Wu Ming away and said irritably, "Sister Ming, is it really necessary? Ziyang is only twelve years old!"

"Uh~ I'm sorry, I was just in a hurry!" Wu Ming said awkwardly.

Ma Xiaotao was about to say something when she heard Xuanzi clapping. The inner disciples who had been talking immediately fell silent, all their eyes turning to him.

"Very good, everyone is here. Le Xuan, you are the leader of this operation, please explain the rules of this operation to everyone!" Xuan Zi said to Zhang Le Xuan.

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Zhang Lexuan replied, then turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, the destination of this operation is the Star Dou Great Forest. Some of us will have been there before, and some will not. Given this complicated situation, please abide by the rules. First, please introduce yourselves: your name, martial spirit, cultivation level, and spirit ring requirements."

After Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, she looked around and said, "Well then, I'll go first. My name is Zhang Lexuan, an assistant instructor and student in the inner academy. My martial soul is the moon, I'm a power-attack type soul master, and I'll be responsible for leading and commanding this team. My soul power is level 80, and I need a soul ring that is over 70,000 years old."

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's self-introduction, Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "Is this the Moon Martial Soul?" Zhang Lexuan had reached the Soul Douluo level at only twenty-three years old. Such talent was simply terrifying!

"Will I be able to reach the Soul Douluo level by the time I'm twenty-three?" Zhu Ziyang wondered.

"Han Ruoruo, an assistant instructor and student of the Inner Academy, possesses the Martial Soul Golden Rope and is a control-type Soul Master. She is in charge of the main control of this operation, with a Soul Power of Level 76 and no need for Soul Rings." Following Zhang Lexuan, she was a classical beauty with eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like black lacquer, and a face like autumn flowers. She had a gentle temperament and stood side by side with Zhang Lexuan, creating a complementary aura.

"My name is Ma Xiaotao, an inner court disciple, my martial soul is the Fire Phoenix, I am a power-attack type soul master, my soul power is level 50, and I need a ten-thousand-year fire attribute soul ring," Ma Xiaotao said.

"My name is Wu Ming, an inner court disciple, my martial soul is Golden Crow, I am a power-attack type soul master, my soul power is level 60, and I need a fire attribute soul ring that is over 30,000 years old." After Ma Xiaotao, it was Wu Ming's turn.

Next came the remaining eight inner court students, three women and five men: two quasi-Soul Kings, three quasi-Soul Emperors, and three quasi-Soul Saints. After all the inner court disciples had been introduced, everyone's attention was focused on Zhu Ziyang.

Zhu Ziyang showed no fear or shyness, and stood up confidently, saying, "My name is Zhu Ziyang, a first-year student in the outer academy, my martial soul is the World-Soothing Scythe, I am a power-attack type soul master, my soul power is level 40, and I need a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

His words immediately shocked the inner court students who didn't recognize him, who stared at the young man in disbelief. How old was this boy? At most thirteen, yet he was already a Soul Master! Compared to him, weren't we all just wasting our lives?

Han Ruoruo opened her mouth and asked, "Junior Brother Ziyang, how old are you this year?"

"I just turned twelve," Zhu Ziyang said calmly.
