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

Chapter 155 Journey to the Star Dou Great Forest

Dugu Bo's face was also filled with barely suppressed elation. He had been stuck at level 91 of soul power for who knows how many years.

He thought he would never make a breakthrough in his life, especially since the backlash from the toxins in his body left him with no energy to think about improving his soul power.

After all, a person whose vital energy is greatly depleted has to endure pain every day, so how can they have the idea of ​​improving themselves?

But now he has not only solved the pain of the poison backlash, but also easily increased his soul power by one level!

Ning Feiliu deserves much credit for all of this.

So when he looked at Ning Feiliu, who was congratulating him, he no longer pretended to be serious as before, but laughed heartily.

"Good! Good! Good!" Dugu Bo stood up and said "good" three times.

"Fei Liu, thank you!" he said to Ning Fei Liu with a smile.

This time, he no longer called Ning Feiliu "boy," but addressed him by his given name affectionately.

He was truly grateful to Ning Feiliu, after all, Ning Feiliu not only helped him solve the problem of the backlash from the toxins in his body, but also taught him the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, in addition to a Mysterious Water Pill.

Now that the toxins in his body have been mostly cleared, his strength has also improved.

Moreover, he had a feeling that level 92 soul power would not be his nearest limit. With the toxins in his body almost completely cleared, he only broke through to level 1 soul power by relying on the soul power that he had accumulated and suppressed the toxins in his body over the years.

He could sense that once the poison was completely absorbed into his soul bone, his soul power would increase again!

Moreover, because the Moon Essence Breathing Technique repaired the old injuries left by the backlash of toxins in his body over the years, his current physical condition can support him to continue breaking through to higher realms.

He still has the opportunity to reach even higher levels!

It's all because of Ning Feiliu!

He truly felt that the luckiest thing in his life was that his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, met Ning Feiliu, which enabled Ning Feiliu to save his and his granddaughter's lives and gave him the opportunity to become stronger.

"Teacher...you and Sister Yan have helped me a lot too. This is what I should do, and there's no need for us to say thank you." Ning Feiliu smiled and shook her head, saying.

"You can't say that, little Fei Liu. Grandpa finally got to say thank you to someone, so you can't let Grandpa down," Dugu Yan said with a smile.

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "You kid, did you hear that? I've been traveling the Douluo Continent for so many years, and I've rarely said thank you to anyone... But since you put it that way, well, we're all family now, why be so polite?"

Upon hearing the words "family," Dugu Yan blushed instantly, and Ning Feiliu was also taken aback for a moment before chuckling softly.

The three of them tacitly agreed on something without saying a word.

"Alright, while we don't need to be so polite, Fei Liu, whatever you ask for in the future, even if it's just asking your teacher to slaughter an entire family for you, it's no problem," Dugu Bo said. "You can also take anything from this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Dugu Bo was clearly serious. If Ning Feiliu really wanted him to kill someone's entire family, Dugu Bo would do it, even if it was a Soul Douluo.

If Poison Douluo says he'll kill your whole family, he'll kill your whole family! There's absolutely no need to question it!

While he couldn't afford to offend anyone above the Title Douluo level at the moment, Dugu Bo felt that he would have the opportunity to increase his soul power in the future, and he could fulfill his promise then.

Ning Feiliu chuckled and joked, "What, can't students just take whatever they want these days?"

During this period of research and development of new alchemical potions, he did indeed gather a lot of herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Of course, it's definitely not as outrageous as the original storyline where the Third Brother practically ripped up everything in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving a complete mess behind.

Ning Feiliu only studied a small portion of the herbs, and only one or two herbs were used for medicinal property analysis.

He also had some unexpected gains, namely, he discovered two nascent immortal herbs—the Jade Bamboo and the Golden Melon of the Earth Dragon—which were buried in the ground.

These two immortal herbs and ferocious beasts, which would only appear in the second part of the original story, are hidden deep in the soil of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, making them very difficult to find.

However, since it looks like it hasn't fully grown, its value probably isn't particularly high.

We can only wait for Ning Feiliu to complete the task of cultivating the immortal herb and see if there's any way to resolve it.

"That's true, but you're being too polite," Dugu Bo said, feigning displeasure. "You always ask me this. Like I just said, we're all family, why are you being so polite? Besides, it's really annoying that you keep asking."

Ning Feiliu chuckled, knowing that Dugu Bo was faking it. He smiled and said, "Then I will be more careful in the future and will not bother you again."

"Alright, that's good to you. Now it's time to have breakfast and get down to business." Dugu Bo waved his hand and said, "Today I'm going to find you a ten-thousand-year-old Silver Moon Mane Lion, no matter what!"

Ning Feiliu immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go cook breakfast right away."

After all, he's a good cook, and he's the one who makes breakfast every morning, so he doesn't find it annoying at all.

Soon, the simple meat porridge, fried fish, and pickled vegetables were ready.

After Ning Feiliu, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan finished their meal, they left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Sunset Forest, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest, which was further away from Tian Dou City.

The Star Dou Great Forest stretches across the entire Douluo Continent, and can be found not far from the territories of the two great empires and the Holy City of the Spirit Hall.

Its area is so large that it is almost equal to the land area of ​​the Barak Kingdom, the largest of the four kingdoms under the Heaven Dou Empire. It spans the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, with two-fifths of its area within the Heaven Dou Empire.

The other three-fifths are located in the Star Luo Empire, which is a vast primeval forest with complex terrain, including wetlands and swamps.

The spirit beasts there are extremely terrifying; the closer you get to the center of the forest, the stronger they become.

There are even soul beasts that are 100,000 years old. Any soul master, as long as he is strong enough and lucky, can find the soul ring that suits him best.

It's no wonder that the Star Dou Great Forest has become the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, and has produced many extremely powerful soul beasts.

In terms of both area and the number of soul beasts it contains, it can be called the largest, without a doubt.

……

Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan followed Dugu Bo across a vast, desolate plain, and then gradually came into view a lush, dense forest in the distance.

He immediately knew that they would soon be entering the Star Dou Great Forest.

This was also his first time entering the Star Dou Great Forest.

This was not only Ning Feiliu's first time since transmigrating to Douluo Continent, but also the first time this body had stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ning Feiliu himself is easy to talk about, after all, when he transmigrated, his second and third spirit rings, as well as the first and second spirit rings he re-absorbed later, were all spirit beasts hunted in Sunset Forest.

As for the original owner...

In his memory, the original owner obtained his first spirit ring from a forest where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School kept spirit beasts.

Powerful top-tier forces usually have their own hunting grounds for raising soul beasts, which are generally soul beasts that are hundreds or thousands of years old.

The Heaven Dou Royal Family is quite powerful. They have enclosed a royal hunting ground near the training grounds of the Royal Knights, which even contains rare and powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. (This is not a fanfiction; it's part of the original work, a reward from Emperor Xue Ye to the teams heading to Wuhun City for the finals, allowing them to obtain ten-thousand-year-old soul rings in the future at the royal hunting grounds.)

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only facilitates the acquisition of higher-level soul rings by its lower-level disciples, especially direct disciples, by establishing a forest outside Heaven Dou City to raise soul beasts that have been kept for about a thousand years.

This also helps to prevent the vulnerable direct descendants from encountering danger.

To facilitate lower-level soul masters, the Spirit Hall also established Soul Hunting Forests outside various kingdoms and towns.

In the original storyline, Tang San obtained his first spirit ring in the Soul Hunting Forest.

It must be said that the popularization of the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, the Soul Master Subsidy System, the pursuit and arrest of Soul Masters who kill indiscriminately, the establishment of the Soul Hunting Forest System, and even the corresponding protective measures to prevent Soul Masters from indiscriminately killing Soul Beasts.

All these actions promoted by the Spirit Hall demonstrate that its existence is definitely a very good thing for ordinary people and grassroots spirit masters.

Even though the Soul Master subsidy system is nominally distributed by the Spirit Hall to Soul Masters, it is actually funded by the two great empires.

But they did help with that, and they may even have been the ones who pushed for it.

If it weren't for Bibi Dong, that crazy female simp, and the mess that was going on with the Pope's family, Ning Feiliu really wouldn't have resisted joining the Spirit Hall to help them complete an unprecedented transformation.

For a time traveler like him, the thought of destroying two great empires and overthrowing imperial power, nobility, and even social classes is incredibly exciting.

The Spirit Hall was actually capable of doing this if it weren't for the Pope's family and Bibi Dong.

Unfortunately... Ning Feiliu is not the kind of selfless person who would choose to sacrifice herself.

He may fan the flames, but he won't think of defying fate or changing the world on his own.

Faced with the general trend of the times, he will only go with the flow and will not choose to go against the tide.

Soon, Ning Feiliu, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

The terrain within the Star Dou Great Forest is extremely complex, with no roads whatsoever. However, this did not prevent Dugu Bo from heading to a suitable area for ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to find the ten-thousand-year-old Silver Moon Mane Lion that Ning Feiliu desired.

He took the map and then led Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan straight ahead.

Along the way, thanks to Dugu Bo's powerful aura, no foolish soul beasts dared to block their path.

This was also intentional on Dugu Bo's part; he didn't want to waste time in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Now that we've decided to hunt ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, we should head straight to the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast area deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ning Feiliu had no objections. He had no intention of appreciating the scenery of the Star Dou Great Forest and also wanted to finish the battle quickly.

The Star Dou Great Forest is just too vast, and it took quite a while to reach the area of ​​the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts within it.

At the same time, Dugu Bo then suppressed his powerful aura as a Title Douluo and began to help search for the figure of the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Mane Lion.

But as I said before, if it's just about finding a suitable soul beast, you might be able to make do and hunt down any decent soul beast you find.

However, Ning Feiliu's requirements for reabsorbing her third spirit ring are not just as simple as ten thousand years; it also requires a spirit beast of the same type as the original spirit ring, which means she needs a ten-thousand-year Silver Moon Mane Lion.

With all these conditions in place, it's like drawing cards.

It's rare for you to draw the right soul beast, and they come to hunt soul beasts on the first day, hoping to find the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Mane Lion on the very first day.

That's basically like a Yu-Gi-Oh! player trying to pull out all the UR cards in a single pack in a Master Duel.

Or maybe it's like those skin draw events in League of Legends where you can draw a skin for a champion you really like right away?

That really requires a lot of luck.

Moreover, reality is even crueler. There's no such thing as a guaranteed drop in the loot box. If you're really unlucky, it's quite possible that you won't be able to find the soul beast you want for a whole week.

So Ning Feiliu searched from day to night on the first day, but still did not see the ten-thousand-year-old Silver Moon Mane Lion.

If this were in Sunset Forest, you could search the entire Sunset Forest in a day, but you might not find it.

In just one day, the area of ​​the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts explored in the Star Dou Great Forest was estimated to be only about one-tenth of the total area.

This is still the Star Dou Great Forest, a region of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, near the Heaven Dou Empire.

Ning Feiliu finally understood why the Crimson King and Bi Ji, these ferocious beasts, were not seen in the original Douluo Continent storyline.

In particular, after Bibi Dong failed to hunt the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape in her original work, why didn't she continue searching for these ferocious beasts?

Instead, he found a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to absorb and use as the ninth soul ring of his second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.

Logically speaking, these ferocious beasts with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation shouldn't all be like Di Tian, ​​either sleeping under the Star Lake or traveling outside the Douluo Continent.

It's likely that these ferocious beasts have gone into hiding. The Star Dou Great Forest is too vast, and Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall can't find them.

On the contrary, Xiao Wu and her mother, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are all in the core area of ​​the Star Lake Great Forest, so they are very easy to find.

They were easily found and wiped out by the Spirit Hall.

However, this is based on the theory that Douluo Continent is a real world. If Ning Feiliu hadn't transmigrated to Douluo Continent, she would have thought that her third brother's real-world human form had retconned the book and the original setting.

Ning Feiliu, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan remained silent throughout the night. After finishing their dinner, they began practicing the Moon Essence Breathing Technique on the spot.

Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan didn't seem to have the same leisurely and elegant mood as in the original story, when the Shrek Seven Devils came out to hunt soul beasts together and actually had the interest to set up tents and sleep together.

After all, Soul Masters can use cultivation instead of sleep.

You guys are sleeping in tents in the wild... no, you guys are really bored. You have time to sleep in tents outside, which is uncomfortable and unpleasant. Why don't you just cultivate directly?

However, it seems that this plot was probably written by the original author on a whim to develop the relationship between the Shrek Seven Devils, Gangzi, and Liu Erlong.

In short, Ning Feiliu, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan spent the night cultivating. When they woke up the next day, they continued their search for the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Mane Lion.

However, there was no harvest for several days in a row.

until……

Day 4!

They finally found a ten-thousand-year-old Silver Moon Mane Lion. With Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, standing by, Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan faced the Silver Moon Mane Lion together, but they escaped unharmed.

The Silver Moon Lion, after being pierced through the heart, forehead, and abdomen by Ning Feiliu's second Soul Skill, Gale Force, collapsed to the ground with resentment.

"We did it!" Dugu Yan shouted happily.

Let's skip the unnecessary details of the battle and speed things up.
