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

Chapter 207 Terrifying Strength

Ning Feiliu sighed. To be honest, if she had to choose from the three soul beasts—the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the Hell Demon Dragon—she would have to say...

Anyone who frequently reads Douluo Continent fanfiction knows that the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is the only choice.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's combat power and quality are not only the highest and best among these three types of soul beasts, but also...

In fan fiction, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has another name: Dark Gold Bursting Claw Bear.

There is almost a 90% chance that this type of soul beast will drop a pair of dark gold dread claw external soul bones.

The significance of external soul bones is self-evident.

In the original work, it is described as the most precious soul bone, second only to a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Because this thing can evolve along with the Soul Master's cultivation level; the higher your cultivation level, the higher the quality of this external soul bone.

Moreover, it does not belong to the regular six soul bones.

How could such an upgradeable "equipment" not be precious?

There's no need to worry about the initial level of the external soul bone being too low to be useful later, nor is there any need to worry about it wasting an "equipment slot" later.

Theoretically, even if you initially absorb a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear external soul bone that is only about ten years old, and later break through to level ninety-nine, then this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear external soul bone, which was only ten years old at the beginning, will be at the same level as the soul bone that fell from the bear king after you killed it.

The only thing it can't compare to a 100,000-year-old soul bone is its extremely long "development" time.

Absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul bone on the spot allows it to exert a tremendous effect immediately, and the two powerful soul bone skills attached to it can instantly enhance combat power.

However, the external soul bone still needs to grow.

It's like comparing a Mejai's Soulstealer without any stacks to a complete set of gear in a game. A stacked Mejai's Soulstealer can be even more powerful than many mage items, but the key is that your Mejai's Soulstealer hasn't even been stacked yet, so of course it's not as good as a complete set of gear like the 100,000-Year Soul Bone.

The strange thing about external soul bones is that they don't take up any slots in the six divine equipment sets. This means that if Ning Feiliu really gets an external soul bone, she can absorb it without any burden.

Therefore, if he really had a choice among the three types of spirit beasts mentioned above, he would not hesitate to choose the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which is very likely to drop an external spirit bone.

The premise is... that there is a choice.

Reality isn't a video game; you can't just choose whenever you want.

Could it be that if Ning Feiliu chose the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would immediately jump out and kill him?

The probability of this happening... can only be said to be that only a person with exceptional luck like Huo Qubing could encounter such a situation.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest is truly vast. Just the fact that those ferocious beasts from the Peerless Tang Sect were not discovered by the Spirit Hall during this period shows that the Star Dou Great Forest is indeed very large, and there are still many hidden places that humans have not yet explored.

If these ferocious beasts weren't guarding the most conspicuous and central Star Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest, like the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, no one would have been able to discover them.

Unless Ning Feiliu intends to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for a very long time, like the original story's Bie San did after reviving Xiao Wu, to reclaim his missing soul rings and fill his Clear Sky Hammer soul rings, he's unlikely to leave.

You can still find the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

However, he did not intend to waste too much time. There would be other opportunities to find the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in the future, and even after he reached the peak of his strength, it would not be a problem for him to personally go and find the Bear King.

Now... there's no need to waste too much time.

So Ning Feiliu said, "In that case, I'll choose the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound."

Although the Red King's race is very powerful, it is not considered very rare, and there are many records of it being captured and hunted.

"Alright, let's head southwest then." Ning Fengzhi nodded, said nothing more, and ordered the team to set off towards the location on the map.

And so they set off at full speed, traveling for three days.

Finally, we arrived at a region with exceptionally fertile soil and abundant water, yet it was unusually warm, with some barren desert in the distance.

"Everyone be careful, this should be the outer edge of the three-headed red demon hound's habitat," Ning Fengzhi shouted.

"Yes, Sect Master!" the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shouted immediately.

However, at that moment...

Ning Feiliu seemed to sense something.

"The night is still and silent, the moonlight fills the sky!"

Two beams of moonlight transformed into unique crescent moon divine weapons: a pale double-bladed blade and a crimson short scythe, which instantly fell into his hands.

The next moment, the fourth black spirit ring that had appeared on his body not long ago lit up.

"Folding Mirror! Fourth Soul Skill! Boundary Mirror Annihilation!"

In an instant, centered on his body, the refracting mirror refracted rays of light, cutting through space to form a unique mirror space.

Before the others in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could react to what Ning Feiliu was doing...

Not far from Ning Feiliu, behind a disciple, a huge, powerful soul beast, over three meters tall, suddenly rushed out. This powerful soul beast was extremely majestic and somewhat resembled a lion, but it had three identical large heads.

Each head is over half a meter in diameter, and its terrifying canines gleam with a reddish-gold luster.

It pounced directly on the disciple, who was caught completely off guard. However, the outer sect elders in the group reacted quickly and rushed towards the disciple.

But at this very moment...

The enormous soul beast that pounced out... with a loud boom, its gaping maw didn't bite the disciple, but instead bit a huge tree!

At the same time, Ning Feilu's peculiar mirror space shattered.

The giant soul beast was not charging straight at us as everyone had expected, but instead... it turned fifty degrees and pounced into the forest!

This is the power of Ning Feiliu's fourth soul skill, the Boundary Mirror Annihilation, which directly reflects attacks and can even mislead the enemy's judgment to launch a close-range attack!

"Fei Liu, not bad." Bone Douluo clapped his hands with a smile.

In fact, he had noticed it when the soul beast approached and was about to launch an attack, but just as he was about to warn it, Ning Feiliu took action first.

This made him stop immediately to see how Ning Feiliu would react next.

"Grandpa Bone, this is the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound. Father, can you tell how old this Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound is?" Ning Feiliu asked, looking at the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound in the distance, which seemed somewhat confused and unsure of its current situation.

Meanwhile, many disciples and elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had already surrounded the three-headed red demon hound.

"A three-headed red demon hound that is over six meters long is considered to have broken through the ten-thousand-year mark, and one that is over eight meters long is considered to be over fifty thousand years old. Judging from its length, this one is about thirty to fifty thousand years old. And looking at the stripes on the middle head, it should be a three-headed red demon hound that is close to forty thousand years old." Ning Fengzhi carefully observed the three-headed red demon hound that was surrounded and then made a judgment.

He frowned and said, "Fei Liu, this is a three-headed red demon hound that's about 40,000 years old. Are you sure you can handle it?"

What he meant was that Ning Feiliu had conservatively absorbed a soul ring that was over 30,000 years old, while the three-headed red demon hound in front of him was around 40,000 years old.

That's why he asked Ning Feiliu if she was confident.

However... Ning Feiliu started absorbing ten-thousand-year spirit rings when she re-absorbed her third spirit ring, and absorbed a twenty-thousand-year-old Demon Eye Tree for her fourth spirit ring. Now that she's absorbing a forty-thousand-year-old spirit ring for her fifth spirit ring, what's there to worry about?

To exaggerate even further, he could absorb a three-headed red demon hound that is 50,000 years old.

But now that we've encountered this three-headed red demon hound that's about 40,000 years old, let's go with it!

"No problem," Ning Feiliu nodded and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything more, after all, he knew that Ning Feiliu was now extraordinary.

Unless Ning Feiliu makes an exceptionally outrageous choice, such as forcibly absorbing a spirit ring that is over 80,000 years old... he would hesitate slightly, but would still choose to listen to what Ning Feiliu had to say.

He would probably only stop Ning Feiliu without hesitation if she suggested forcibly absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring.

"Ready, everyone!" Ning Feiliu walked forward slowly, holding the Soul-Severing Blade and the Folding Mirror, and addressed the elders and disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School beside her.

"Yes!" The elders and disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no objection to Ning Feiliu's order and answered in unison.

Ning Feiliu is no longer the same person he once was; he is now a figure of influence within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This is the reward he earned through his talent and practical contributions.

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound was surrounded by many elders and disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Although it began to charge and bite at them aggressively, it was unable to break through the encirclement with the combined efforts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members.

"Nine treasures emerge from the glazed tiles..." Ning Feiliu said softly, and immediately a nine-story pagoda appeared behind him in a hazy, precious light.

"Nine treasures are famous! The second is...swift!"

The second soul ring landed on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and then emitted light as it merged with its misty treasure light!

Then a beam of light shot out and landed on him, increasing his speed by fifty percent!

Ning Feiliu moved with lightning speed, leaving afterimages as she charged towards the three-headed red demon hound!

"Roar!" However, the three-headed red demon hound was no pushover either, and its blood-red maw on the left side of its head snapped at Ning Feiliu.

However, in the next moment, Ning Feiliu's body twisted dramatically in the air, dodging the bite of the three-headed red demon hound. At the same time, the Folding Mirror Flying Wheel Blade in her hand spun out and landed on the three-headed red demon hound.

"Rip—!" The outermost fur was instantly torn open.

The three-headed red demon dog felt a bit surprised despite the pain.

This human, whose soul power wasn't particularly strong, actually... managed to break through his tough outer skin, which even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts couldn't penetrate?!

As a 40,000-year-old soul beast, it has developed intelligence comparable to that of a human child, and now, in pain, it is even somewhat panicked and wants to escape.

"Soul Severance! First Soul Skill! Phosphorous Shadow Confrontation!"

But the next moment, Ning Feiliu had already activated the first soul skill of the Soul-Shattering Flying Wheel. The Mirror Flying Wheel, like a storm, accompanied by the blood-red scythe shadow of the Soul-Shattering Flying Wheel, frantically bombarded the three-headed red demon hound.

With each impact, the folding mirror flywheel splits in mid-air, refracting into another flywheel blade, one becoming two, two becoming four, four becoming eight, and eight becoming sixteen!

The first soul skill of the Soul Breaker, Phosphorous Covering Shadow Copying Flying Wheel, will increase in quality as the first soul ring improves.

After the first spirit ring became a seven-thousand-year-level spirit ring, the number of flying wheels that Phosphorus could replicate from Shadow Energy reached a maximum of sixteen.

And so, the terrifying sixteen flying wheels, as Ning Feiliu continued to swing them, tore apart the powerful and resilient body of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound.

"Roar—!" At that moment, three huge fireballs gathered from the gaping maws of the three heads of the three-headed red demon hound, and then... directly blasted towards Ning Feiliu, who was dancing in the air with the flying wheel attack!

"Be careful!"

"Sect Master!"

"Young Master Fei Liu!"

……

At this moment, everyone else in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School became anxious, and even the sixth soul ring behind one of the Soul Saint Elders lit up.

however……

"Don't worry." Ning Fengzhi stopped them from attacking, because he saw...

Ning Feiliu's gaze remained remarkably calm; he completely disregarded the three-headed red demon hound's attacks, because his fourth soul skill had activated again...

"Folding Mirror! Fourth Soul Skill! Boundary Mirror Annihilation!"

A mirrored space, seemingly cleaved apart, instantly appeared before him. Then, just as the fireball attack from the three-headed red demon hound was about to strike Ning Feiliu, it vanished...

The next moment, however, came the sound of fireballs erupting from the three-headed red demon hound!

The fireball attack actually landed on itself!

A massive explosion slammed into the back of the three-headed red demon hound, producing a painful burning and exploding sound.

"Roar!!!" It howled, and just then, Ning Feiliu's fourth spirit ring lit up again!

However, this time it was—

"Soul Severance! Fourth Soul Skill! Ferocious Assault Transformation!"

In an instant, the blood-red moonlight suddenly enveloped Ning Feiliu, and he immediately seemed to transform into a blood-red demon. His muscles suddenly swelled up, his skin turned a darker layer, and his eyes turned red, making him look like a god of death!

The Ferocious Transformation plunges Ning Feiliu into a berserk state, amplifying her current strength, speed, attack, and spirit by 300%. It also grants her control over mental illusions, negating some of their effects by ignoring the difference in soul power between her and her opponent, and imbuing her subsequent attacks with mental and blood toxins.

After Ning Feiliu received the enhanced Ferocious Transformation, she transformed into a streak of bloody light. The sixteen Mirror Flying Wheels in her hand directly tore apart the exposed chest of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, ripping its flesh and turning its bones into dust. Then, she frantically pulverized its vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, and liver, into viscous blood plasma!

Immediately afterwards, even the huge, hard spine behind the internal organs was pulverized into bone powder, which fused with the blood plasma.

"Boom—!" The three-headed red demon hound, its chest completely shattered into a bloody pulp, crashed to the ground. Only the skin and flesh on the sides of its body remained thinly connected above its chest and below its waist.

Ning Feiliu transformed into a beam of blood and landed behind the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound. Looking at its head, which was still painfully alive due to the powerful vitality of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, he glanced at it and then threw out the Flying Wheel Sea again. The violent Flying Wheel Sea rushed into its eyes and smashed its brain to pieces.

This can be considered as alleviating its suffering, letting it die directly.

Whether the three-headed red demon hound sensed Ning Feiliu's "hypocritical final mercy" or not, it died completely. Then, a strange power continuously emanated from its body, gradually transforming into a huge black ring that appeared on its massive body.

Perhaps Douluo Continent fanfiction needs to be written more mindlessly, because this guy's writing is too rational.

I don't really want to write about characters who go from weak to strong and suddenly become incredibly strong without any real progression.

At the beginning, the protagonist's transformation was only described as having "invincible at the same level" combat power using the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon. In other words, if the protagonist's soul power level was exactly the same, he would not be able to defeat the protagonist.

Later, with more combat experience, the protagonist began to easily surpass opponents with several levels of soul power.

Later on, I began my true path to becoming invincible among my peers. That time I used the Soul Ring Explosion to fight Yu Tianheng was just to exchange for Soul Rings and show off. In that battle, I didn't suppress my combat power and wrote that the protagonist and Yu Tianheng fought to a standstill before I used the Soul Ring Explosion to barely defeat Yu Tianheng.

The real challenges that followed were much higher level challenges.

Even now, with a bunch of buffs and cheats, I've written that the protagonist can beat the Soul King and Fallen without needing to use the Soul Ring Detonation skill, and can even fight a Soul Emperor two levels higher without using the Soul Ring Detonation skill.

Isn't that strong enough?

I can only say that I should have written an invincible protagonist from the beginning, whose martial soul mutated into the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon at the start, and who was even more favored than Ning Rongrong. He had the growth path of a chosen one of heaven, directly fighting against Soul Masters, Soul Venerables, and Title Douluos. That kind of character might have been more popular.

Especially for readers on Qread, well... I know that Douluo fanfiction is like this there, and there are quite a few readers who just want to enjoy themselves to the fullest, so I don't want to argue about it. If I encounter someone who is extreme and directly insults me, I don't argue with them and just ban them. I wouldn't do that on Qidian (I won't say more, I don't have enough words).
