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

Chapter 156 Uneasy Emotions

The moment the Silver Moon Mane Lion was killed, its life force began to wane, and a faint black light began to emanate from its massive corpse, gathering above its body.

The appearance of the spirit ring power proves that this ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast has completely lost its life.

Ning Feiliu looked at the black ten-thousand-year soul ring that appeared before her, but couldn't help but hesitate.

Don't misunderstand, he wasn't afraid of the danger of absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Instead, he suddenly realized that once his third spirit ring became a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, he might attract the attention of the Spirit Hall.

To be honest, the mechanism of the exploding ring is really too abnormal.

It's equivalent to an artificial twin martial soul, and this twin martial soul can continuously absorb soul rings to increase its own soul power level.

To acquire twin martial souls, you need to raise your soul power level to a suitable level before you can give the second martial soul a soul ring.

However, you can't just choose any spirit ring you want.

Ning Feiliu uses two blessing soul skills, which allow her to continuously explode and reabsorb better soul rings.

It's like everyone is playing an online game. Ordinary players start by equipping themselves with gear from level one, but once they've equipped themselves, they can't change their gear. So, ordinary players at higher levels usually have a few pieces of ordinary gear and a few pieces of advanced gear.

Tang San, a user of twin martial souls, has two accounts. He uses all the high-level and god-level equipment he gets from leveling up his main account to raise his secondary account, creating a top-tier secondary account with all high-level equipment.

Ning Feiliu's ring-breaking mechanism simply allows her to upgrade and change equipment simultaneously, from ordinary equipment to high-level equipment, and then to god-level equipment.

This mechanism is simply too outrageous.

In the original story, the Third Brother was able to do this because he consumed Xiao Wu's sacrifice. He wanted to "resurrect my love," so he had to offer his first six children to Xiao Wu as the "price."

But as for the "cost"...

It's like the graveyard cost of some cards in a card game called Yu-Gi-Oh! – the cost is even more useful than the card's activation effect!

If a Soul Master at the Title Douluo level heard this, they would be ecstatic.

Given the chance to replace all low-level spirit rings with high-level spirit rings, which high-level spirit master wouldn't want to replace all their yellow and purple spirit rings with ten-thousand-year spirit rings?

Unfortunately, to pay this price, you must activate the card "Resurrect My Beloved".

First, you need a 100,000-year-old soul beast to sacrifice to, and then you need to revive it before you can do this.

So it's very troublesome.

However, Ning Feiliu didn't need to do that at all; she simply destroyed her spirit ring herself and then replaced it with a better one.

He felt that the greatest reward for completing the two tasks, [Forging a Demigod] and [Ice and Snow Demigod], was not the [Blessing of the Forging Demigod] and [Blessing of the Ice and Snow Demigod], nor the two blessing soul skills, [Summoning of the Forging God] and [Summoning of the Ice and Snow God].

This is the mechanism that allows him to destroy his spirit rings and reabsorb them.

If things continue like this, Ning Feiliu's potential and the power of her two Blessing Soul Skills will become increasingly enviable.

The saying "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure" is easy to understand.

What the others didn't know was that Ning Feiliu's two blessed soul skills, [Summoning of the God of Forging] and [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow], were not actually his own created soul skills, which meant they could not be passed down.

Even if Ning Feiliu publicly revealed this, probably not many people would believe her; they would just think that Ning Feiliu was lying.

They still coveted the two blessed soul skills, [Summoning of the God of Forging] and [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow], and even went so far as to force Ning Feiliu to reveal how to use these two "self-created soul skills".

This will inevitably lead to trouble, especially after seeing that Ning Feiliu's third spirit ring becomes a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Even the Spirit Hall would probably be tempted.

In fact, the Spirit Hall now attaches great importance to Ning Feiliu, but Dugu Bo, who is behind Ning Feiliu, is not hostile to the Spirit Hall.

Without any hostile forces, the Spirit Hall is quite magnanimous and won't try to kill you just because you have innate full spirit power or twin spirits.

Instead, they let you grow for a period of time before recruiting you—probably because they believe that a Soul Master who has reached adulthood will better understand the key to interests and choose to join the Spirit Hall.

They'll only resort to underhanded tactics if you don't choose to join.

In the original storyline of Feng Xiaotian, the Four Elements Academy was pressured by the Elephant Armor Sect and the Spirit Hall, but they did not choose to kill them all like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect did.

All I can say is that... the Spirit Hall's actions in the original storyline don't really seem like those of a ruthless villain.

He did a lot of good deeds, but he didn't do any bad deeds thoroughly either.

He claims to be the guide and reformer of the Douluo Continent, yet he is unable to completely and shamelessly eliminate his rivals who would unify the Douluo Continent...

Perhaps this is the tragedy of the Spirit Hall: unwilling to be purely good, yet lacking the resolve to be utterly evil, they are stuck in a limbo, ultimately destined to be utterly destroyed by someone like Tang San, a "pure and innocent" but shameless individual with connections to the Asura God.

The Spirit Hall will likely only target opponents like the Three Upper Sects or the royal families of the two great empires who pose a real threat to their plan to unify the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, if Ning Feiliu's identity as the son of the current sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to be exposed, they would probably be alarmed like cats seeing mice, and would try every means to eliminate Ning Feiliu in advance.

However, Ning Feiliu appears rather ordinary, so she will probably be able to survive until the Spirit Hall launches its Soul Hunting Operation in the original work.

After all, in the original work, the Spirit Hall did not reach out to Ning Rongrong and Yu Tianheng, the chosen ones of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant School, in advance.

Therefore, it can be seen that the Spirit Hall would not want to take action against the prodigies of the three upper sects in advance.

It was only because Tang San's twin martial souls were so extraordinary that they were quite wary of him, which is why they took action in advance to try and kill Tang San before he was even fully defeated.

But unfortunately, it comes down to the same thing.

I don't want to be a purely good person, but I also don't have the resolve to be completely evil.

Ning Feiliu had no idea how Tang San would survive if the Spirit Hall sent out several more Title Douluos in the original story.

Those old guys in the Hall of Offerings can't leave, but the Spirit Hall still has a bunch of Title Douluos.

Aside from the Serpent Spear Douluo who was protecting Qian Renxue, the Porcupine Douluo was probably all in Wuhun City at that time. After all, according to what Qian Renxue said on the night of the palace incident, she sent the Porcupine Douluo specifically to target Dugu Bo.

Therefore, at that time, in addition to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, there were also Porcupine Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo (the Ninth Elder who was held by Yu Yuanzhen and died together in the Soul Hunting Operation, according to the animation), and Ghost Leopard Douluo in Wuhun City.

Tang San's side consisted of Sword Douluo, who was level 96 at the time, Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Bo.

I have no idea how to defeat the luxurious Title Douluo lineup of Wuhun City. If Tang San really hardens his heart, he will definitely fail there.

After all, although the God of Asura should have been Tang San's backer, he didn't seem to intervene much when Tang San was in danger in the original story.

After all, a day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth, and it's impossible for the God of Law Enforcement, Shura, to do nothing all day but watch over Tang San.

Moreover, although the God of Asura might exploit loopholes, he would never openly break the rules of the divine realm.

If he hadn't been so bored with the divine realm that he wanted to run away, he probably wouldn't have even bothered to take advantage of the situation.

So Tang San really had a chance to be killed, but the Spirit Hall just didn't have the heart to do it.

If Ning Feiliu were to reveal that his third spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, the Spirit Hall would probably give him the same treatment as the third brother.

He didn't want to run into such trouble.

So Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment.

But don't panic!

Ning Feiliu has a cheat code!

Ning Feiliu thought about it for a moment, and then a line of small print appeared before his eyes, visible only to him.

[Help ten plant-type spirit beasts in dire need of assistance to break through the ten-thousand-year limit and receive the blessing of the Myriad Flower Spirit.]

Then he sensed the auras of ten plant-type spirit beasts, seemingly asking him for help. He could even feel that he could communicate with these plant-type spirit beasts.

Ning Feiliu was taken aback.

But at this moment, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan looked at him curiously.

"Kid, why aren't you absorbing the spirit ring yet? What are you dawdling about?" Dugu Bo asked helplessly.

"Little Fei Liu, what's wrong?" Dugu Yan looked at him with some concern.

"Then I'll start absorbing the spirit ring." Ning Feiliu took a deep breath and began preparing to absorb her first ten-thousand-year spirit ring for the first time.

That task... let's help these plant spirit beasts break through and complete their mission on the way.

The Psychic Blessing... which is Neeko's blessing, so the reward will most likely be the ability to disguise.

It should be just enough to help him disguise the appearance of his spirit rings.

"Alright, go ahead, kid. Yan Yan and I will protect you," Dugu Bo said with a light laugh.

"Go for it, Xiao Feiliu!" Dugu Yan said to Ning Feiliu with great anticipation.

Ning Feiliu nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to draw the ten-thousand-year soul ring that was swirling around the ten-thousand-year silver moon mane lion into her body using the Sunlight Breathing Technique.

However, the moment the black energy from the spirit ring surged into her body, Ning Feiliu felt the surrounding light dim, as if she had been submerged in a raging torrent.

The energy of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring... is truly incomparable to that of a thousand-year spirit ring.

Even the eight-thousand-year soul ring that Ning Feiliu absorbed before, compared to the energy of a ten-thousand-year soul ring, was not just a fraction of its energy.

The difference between a ten-thousand-year soul ring and an eight-thousand-year soul ring is not simply a matter of the ten-thousand-year soul ring having 20% ​​more energy than the eight-thousand-year soul ring. The energy of a ten-thousand-year soul ring is almost more than double that of an eight-thousand-year soul ring!

This is no exaggeration; the energy from the spirit rings filled every corner of Ning Feiliu's body almost instantly.

It doesn't even need to operate on its own; the enormous energy has already been forcibly activated.

At the same time, the abundant moonlight energy of the Silver Moon Lion began to chill Ning Feiliu's entire body, as if it were freezing his life force completely.

"Hmph—!" Ning Feiliu grunted.

This immediately made Dugu Yan, who was standing next to him, look anxious.

What's wrong with Ning Feiliu? I've never seen him in so much pain when he absorbed the soul ring before.

Thinking about it this way, Dugu Yan began to panic.

But Dugu Bo stopped Dugu Yan and shook his head at her, "Yan Yan, trust Fei Liu."

Dugu Yan then suppressed her anxiety and retreated, but she still bit her red lips tightly.

"Sigh..." Dugu Bo sighed. He knew that his granddaughter could never leave Ning Feiliu again.

However... this is exactly what he wanted to see.

After all, Ning Feiliu is just too outstanding.

Ning Feiliu's impact on him was so profound that he couldn't even describe what kind of monster he had taken as his student.

But he knew very well that Ning Feiliu's talent was far superior to that of the famous and powerful Title Douluos, even those with so-called twin martial souls, and even superior to the legendary Two Mountains of the Soul Master world!

With his limited knowledge, even at the level of a Title Douluo, he couldn't see how far Ning Feiliu could go in the future.

With Yan Yan following Ning Feiliu, she will definitely go even further in the future!

"Yanyan, trust Fei Liu. You know just how unimaginable he really is," Dugu Bo said.

"I know... Fei Liu is very powerful, I have always believed in him..." Dugu Yan still looked at Ning Fei Liu who was absorbing the soul ring with great tension.

For some reason, she had a strange feeling just now that made her feel very uneasy.

She felt an unease as if she might lose Ning Feiliu forever.

That's why she was so nervous just now, and she started moving as soon as she saw Ning Feiliu acting strangely.

"But I just... suddenly got scared, as if Fei Liu this time..." Dugu Yan said with a look of fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry, this kid absorbed that spirit ring eight thousand years ago. A ten-thousand-year spirit ring... although the energy is enormous, it shouldn't be too difficult for him," Dugu Bo said softly to comfort him.

"I hope... Fei Liu will be alright... that he can successfully absorb this ten-thousand-year soul ring." Dugu Yan clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed for Ning Fei Liu.

……

At this moment, Ning Feiliu was constantly absorbing the enormous energy of the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Mane Lion. His original three soul rings were pulsating at an astonishing speed, making his body look as if it were wrapped in a deep purple cocoon.

But as Dugu Bo said, he was able to absorb eight-thousand-year-level spirit rings before. Although ten-thousand-year spirit rings caused some qualitative changes, their energy was far greater than that of eight-thousand-year spirit rings.

But he was still able to hold on, especially with the sunlight breathing technique, which made it easier for him to absorb energy.

The Sunlight Breathing Method, when absorbing sunlight, feels warm and dispels the coldness of the energy of the Millennium Silver Moon Lion.

Black energy continuously surged from the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Mane Lion, constantly being absorbed by Ning Feiliu.

The light of the three spirit rings gradually dimmed, replaced by a layer of black aura.

His bones emitted a series of dense crackling sounds as the black energy seeped into every meridian in his body.

However, at that moment...

Ning Feiliu heard a lion roar!

coming!

The mental impact of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast on its deathbed!

Within her spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, a dreamlike silver lion phantom, filled with intense resentment and hatred, charged toward Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu instantly held his breath and focused his mind, his spiritual power instantly condensing into a hammer!

This is the Spirit Condensation Technique attached to the [Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method]!

You can condense your spiritual power into an object of any shape!

Ning Feiliu directly smashed the mental hammer into the incomplete soul of the Silver Moon Mane Lion in her sea of ​​consciousness, almost shattering it to pieces.

However, the impact of the Silver Moon Lion's fragmented soul struck his spiritual sea, creating considerable ripples.

"Pfft—!" He groaned again, looking somewhat dizzy, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Fei Liu!" However, Dugu Yan, who was already uneasy, panicked immediately when she saw Ning Fei Liu in trouble!

Her mind went completely blank. Could it be... that Ning Feiliu failed to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring?!
