Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 136 Those who are righteous are often from humble backgrounds.

That evening, Ning Feiliu arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Lingling wants to acquire her third spirit ring?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

"Yes, because Lingling took the Profound Water Pill," Ning Feiliu said. "She just broke through, didn't she? So I plan to help Lingling get a soul ring in Sunset Forest tomorrow."

Dugu Bo also knew Ye Lingling, after all, they had met before.

"I see..." Dugu Yan hesitated.

"Does Sister Yan have anything planned for tomorrow?" Ning Feiliu asked curiously.

"Hmm... The academy said that the seniors from Team One have finally returned," Dugu Yan said immediately. "Senior Meng and the others asked me to meet with them and get to know each other better... After all, we'll be participating in competitions together in the future."

As mentioned before, after Dugu Yan consumed the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, her strength and talent increased significantly.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy naturally wanted Dugu Yan to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament ahead of schedule.

After all, he's a Soul Master!

Still a level 44 Soul Master.

In the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, where the highest cultivation level is generally Soul Master, that would undoubtedly be top-tier combat power.

The Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, which reached the Soul King level, was an extremely rare occurrence.

Do you really think that every Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament will produce a Soul King-level Soul Master?

Otherwise, the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation wouldn't be called the Golden Generation, nor would it have been so astonishing.

Every year, the Spirit Hall produces a Soul King under the age of 25, so the title of "Golden Generation" is not a rare one.

Unlike Ning Feiliu, Dugu Yan did not have a reason for not wanting to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

In the original storyline, she participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Now, she's just participating in the tournament earlier because her cultivation level has increased dramatically, so there's no difference at all.

"The Soul Masters from Team One have finally arrived?" Ning Feiliu asked, startled.

"Hmm... They've supposedly just returned from training in another region. They've reportedly gone to the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs for training," Dugu Yan said.

The Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs… While the name might sound a bit awkward, it is indeed one of the four real subordinate kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire. (This is a place name from the original work, not the author's original creation.)

It's still quite a distance from Tiandou City, no wonder it hasn't appeared there for so long.

Ning Feiliu had been waiting for this for a long time.

It seems that... in the original story, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team going out for training wasn't just something that Yu Tianheng and his group did.

This seems to be a fine tradition of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team.

Considering that Dugu Yan was going to meet with the members of the Tiandou Royal Academy team.

"Then how about I help Lingling get the soul ring?" Ning Feiliu immediately said.

Anyway, Ye Lingling's acquisition of her third soul ring is expected to be around a thousand years old. Ning Feiliu dealing with a soul beast that is around a thousand years old by herself is not a problem at all.

Even against beasts like the Titan Giant Ape and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, whose thousand-year cultivation is equivalent to the combat power of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, he has the summons of the God of Forging and the God of Ice and Snow, and he is not afraid at all.

Moreover, Ning Feiliu did not intend to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, but instead helped Ye Lingling obtain her third soul ring in the Sunset Forest.

There are no such hardcore beasts in Sunset Forest, so there's no need to worry about any accidents.

The beauty of Sunset Forest lies in the fact that there are hardly any unexpected events.

However, there aren't that many types of spirit beasts here, and you might not be able to find some of the rarer ones.

If you don't have specific requirements for the type of spirit beast, this is a great place for you to obtain spirit rings.

However, there are specific requirements, and it requires relatively rare soul beasts, such as Titan Giant Ape, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, Emerald Swan, etc.

Then we'll have to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dugu Yan nodded and said, "That's true... Lingling's requirements for spirit rings aren't that high, so there shouldn't be any problem for you to help her obtain spirit rings."

She knew Ning Feiliu's strength, so there was no way anything unexpected would happen.

Since there was no real need for it, and she had other things to do, Dugu Yan and Ning Feiliu made that decision.

Silent all night.

Ning Feiliu returned to Tiandou City on time the next day to meet Ye Lingling.

After all, Ye Lingling is a support-type Soul Master, and it would be dangerous for her to leave the city alone, even before reaching Sunset Forest.

"Lingling, have you had breakfast?" Ning Feiliu asked Ye Lingling, holding the steamed buns she had just bought.

Ye Lingling, still wearing her veil, glanced at him again and said softly, "No need, I ate breakfast before coming out."

"That's good."

However, Ning Feiliu looked at Ye Lingling, who had put on her veil again, and suddenly became curious.

Actually, after getting to know Ye Lingling, she rarely wore a veil when she was alone with Ning Feiliu...

However... she would put on her veil again when treating patients or going to the Heaven Dou Arena.

"Lingling, I'm actually very curious, is there a reason why you always wear a veil?" Ning Feiliu asked curiously.

Now that they're familiar with each other, he doesn't hold back anymore and asks directly when he thinks of it.

Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment, then said, "My father made me wear it because he was afraid that my enemies would find out my true identity and target me. Gradually, I got used to wearing this veil in front of outsiders."

Ning Feiliu thought about it carefully, because of the unique characteristic of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul being passed down only to one person...

The main problem is that the Nine Heart Begonia is too easy to lose its lineage. However, according to the original story, even if Ye Lingling dies, Ye Tianxin can give birth to another child, and the newborn can then inherit the Nine Heart Begonia again.

However, considering that a newborn would have to be raised all over again, it would be better to protect Ye Lingling properly.

However, Ning Feiliu hadn't expected that Ye Lingling's father, Ye Tianxin, was...

Pure Love God of War.

Since Ye Lingling's mother died, Ye Tianxin has had no intention of remarrying.

Not to mention having children with other women.

Therefore, for the sake of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul's inheritance, and also for Ye Lingling's mother, Ye Tianxin wanted Ye Lingling to wear a veil to protect herself.

This is the true value of a pure love god of war!

"That's true..." Ning Feiliu thought about it and understood, saying, "It's true that you need to protect yourself when you're out and about... Alright, let's go."

"Okay." Ye Lingling nodded and followed Ning Feiliu, preparing to head to Sunset Forest.

But what they didn't notice was...

Among the crowd behind them, a seemingly ordinary-looking, scarred-faced man was staring at them with hatred in his eyes.

Finally... he finally got his chance to avenge his comrades!

He had waited so long, and finally, those two little beasts who had killed his partner left the city together!

He dared not make a move in Tiandou City, mainly because he was afraid that the city's law enforcement officers and powerful figures would kill him in time.

In particular, he knew that these two little brats came from extraordinary families. One was a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and his teacher was the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and the other was the apple of the eye of the Nine Hearts Ye family.

Therefore, it's indeed not advisable to make a move easily in the city, as there might be powerful protectors among the crowd.

After taking this into consideration, he decided to observe Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling again in the open wilderness when they left the city to see if they were accompanied by any powerful figures.

That night, when Ning Feiliu left the city, he cautiously observed from several miles away that Ning Feiliu was not accompanied by any powerful figures.

He actually intended to take action.

But... the thought that killing Ning Feiliu might alert Ye Lingling.

If Ye Lingling becomes cautious because of this, and stays indoors all the time, or has a powerful protector every time she goes out...

Then he would have no chance for revenge.

The scarred, burly man wasn't afraid of being killed himself, but he was afraid of not being able to avenge his two brothers!

Now that the opportunity had finally arrived, he couldn't suppress a smile.

"If I don't avenge my brother, how can I have the face to live in this world!" the scarred, burly man said viciously.

Perhaps few people can understand his mentality, but Ning Feiliu had a saying in his previous life: "The righteous are often the lowly butchers."

Ordinary people from humble backgrounds are more likely to be sentimental, since they don't have many reservations.

Unlike the so-called high-class, privileged elites, their family background and enjoyment are irrelevant.

So-called brotherhood is their most precious thing, and of course they would fight you to the death for it.

Moreover, the scarred, burly man was very confident... after all, he was a Soul King!

Ning Feiliu never expected that... the two nameless henchmen she had casually killed before would have a follow-up!

Scarface summoned his martial spirit in a secluded corner unknown to Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling. Circular, colorful scales appeared on his body, his head became flat, his eyes grew larger, and a long tail appeared behind him.

His martial spirit is... an earth dragon.

This is the giant lizard that everyone often talked about in Ning Feiliu's previous life. However, the scarred strongman's martial soul is more special. It is an earth dragon with the ability to disguise itself, also known as a chameleon.

Five spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, white, yellow, and purple...

It could be described as a trashy combination of trashy spirit rings, but then his second white spirit ring and third yellow spirit ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill! Disguise!"

"Third Soul Skill! Aura Concealment!"

Then, Scarface's entire massive body seemed to vanish from the spot, closely following Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling.

This is what makes the scarred, burly man unique; of his three soul skills, only the first one is an offensive soul skill.

His second and third soul skills are both concealment and disguise skills. However, if you get too close, within a range of ten meters, you will still be discovered no matter what, since the quality and age of his second and third soul skills are not high.

Yet, this soul skill still helped him defeat many powerful enemies and kill many prey!

……

Sunset Forest.

"It's here!" Ning Feiliu exclaimed excitedly as she looked at a soul beast not far away.

He and Ye Lingling didn't venture too far into the Sunset Forest, so they quickly arrived at the area where thousand-year-old soul beasts gathered and began searching for their target soul beast.

Ye Lingling had mentioned this on the way, because their Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul's specific soul skills are all healing soul skills.

However, the effectiveness of healing soul skills still depends on the type and quality of the soul beast from which the soul ring originates.

Simply put, you can't absorb spirit rings indiscriminately.

For example, if Ye Lingling absorbs a soul ring from a poison-attribute soul beast, although the soul skill will still be a healing soul skill, the healing effect... will definitely not be very good.

Therefore, it's best to avoid soul beasts with poison, dark, or fire attributes.

Ordinary soul beasts are fine, but of course, if it's a soul beast like the Emerald Swan, then Ye Lingling's soul skill healing effect will be maximized.

In Ye Lingling's family education, in addition to extremely rare and precious soul beasts like the Emerald Swan, some relatively common top-tier soul beasts are also preferred.

For example, the Fairy Tree, the Purple Jade Bamboo, the Goddess of Light Butterfly, the Senluo Spirit Silkworm, and the Azure Scale Flying Fish are all top choices for Ye Lingling's soul rings.

Ning Feiliu realized that Ye Lingling's best choices for spirit rings were spirit beasts with light and natural attributes.

However, these top-tier soul beasts might only be found in the Star Dou Great Forest, but the Sunset Forest... well, it seems they don't really exist there.

But Ye Lingling didn't think it was a big deal; she didn't necessarily have to choose those five preferred soul beasts.

Even her father, Ye Tianxin, only absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old Fangzi Jade Bamboo when he had his fifth spirit ring, and absorbed a Canglin Flying Fish when he had his seventh spirit ring.

Like other top-tier soul beasts, especially the Goddess of Light Butterfly, they are all ancient top-tier soul beasts that have never been seen before.

It is even said in ancient texts that it may be related to the ancient dragon god and is a top-level soul beast with the bloodline of the dragon god.

Upon hearing what Ye Lingling said, Ning Feiliu realized that the Goddess of Light Butterfly did indeed have some connection with the Dragon God. If he remembered correctly, in the legends of the God Realm, the Golden Dragon Spear eventually fell into the hands of Tang Buddha, who then gave it to Tang Wutong.

As stated in the lore, the Golden Dragon Spear is the pride of the Dragon God, and no one except the owner of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul and those with the bloodline of the Dragon God can wield it.

This also indirectly proves that Tang Wutong most likely possessed the bloodline of the Dragon God from the very beginning.

As for how Tang Wutong, a human and a rabbit, came to be...

Tang Buddha's character and the plot where he set a trap for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era are things everyone understands.

So why did Tang Wutong inherit neither Tang Buddha's grass and hammer martial souls nor the rabbit martial soul, but instead the Goddess of Light butterfly martial soul?

According to the ancient records in the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy in the original storyline, the Goddess of Light Butterfly is a rare martial soul that can only appear on women because of its extreme beauty.

The Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul should be a Martial Soul that appears randomly among women with an extremely low probability.

However, with the bloodline of the Dragon God, it becomes much more likely that it will appear.

In short, the Goddess of Light Butterfly is really unlikely to appear in the current Douluo Continent.

Other so-called top-tier soul beasts are probably just for show.

Ning Feiliu hadn't had high expectations, but he actually saw it...

Not far from them, a huge, long fish with a pair of scales like leaves, capable of flying, landed on a tree to rest.

Flying fish...

However, after seeing the flying snake, Ning Feiliu was not unable to accept such a thing.

I overslept again, my head is numb.

Okay, from now on I'll just sleep a little at night and then get up to write. I'll update again at midnight tomorrow. When I'm well-rested, my writing will be more engaging.

Otherwise, every time I come back from work, in order to meet the perfect attendance requirement, the things I write do unconsciously become sloppy (facepalm).
