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

Chapter 208 The Powerful Fifth Soul Skill

At this moment, everyone present fell silent.

Ning Feiliu went to confront the besieged three-headed red demon hound. Without any help from anyone, he single-handedly and swiftly dealt with this nearly 40,000-year-old three-headed red demon hound.

If we compare the strength of humans and soul beasts, soul beasts aged 10,000 to 20,000 years are equivalent to Soul Kings, soul beasts aged over 20,000 years are equivalent to Soul Emperors, soul beasts aged over 40,000 years are equivalent to Soul Saints, and soul beasts aged over 60,000 years are equivalent to Soul Douluos.

Soul beasts over 80,000 years old are equivalent to low-level Title Douluos, while soul beasts that have broken through 100,000 years old are equivalent to level 95 Title Douluos! (This is a deduction from the original setting, but the setting that a 100,000-year-old soul beast's minimum combat power is equivalent to a level 95 Title Douluo is from the original work, and it was deduced directly from the beginning.)

In other words, Ning Feiliu single-handedly slaughtered a powerful soul beast comparable to a high-level Soul Emperor!

However, that's an exaggeration. The strength of a soul beast is comparable to that of a human soul master, assuming both sides are fighting head-on.

With their powerful physique and defense, human soul masters would be no match for them in a head-on collision.

However, what makes humans most powerful against spirit beasts is not direct combat, but their extraordinary intelligence.

In Ning Feiliu's view, such a comparison of strength only counts if it is more than 80,000 years.

Because spirit beasts that are over 80,000 years old have intelligence similar to normal humans, although because they have always been beasts and have not experienced any scheming, intrigue, or education, they may seem like mindless brutes.

It's still much better than those simple and straightforward soul beasts that are like children of a few years old.

Humans can outmaneuver and fight against spirit beasts under 80,000 years old, as long as they don't encounter a god-level spirit beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which is as cunning as an old coin even at 50,000 years old.

Most importantly... Ning Feiliu increased her own speed, and with the rich experience from Jax over the past few centuries, she easily toyed with and killed the three-headed red demon hound.

Didn't you see that he wasn't hit even once by the three-headed red demon hound's attack?

Regardless of the circumstances, in the eyes of everyone at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Feiliu was the one who easily and single-handedly slaughtered the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, which was comparable to a high-level Soul Emperor.

So powerful, so easy, so comfortable...

As expected, he is a peerless genius comparable to "Haotian Douluo" as rumored by the sect leader, the supreme elder, and in Tiandou City!

Even after Ning Feiliu left Tiandou City to gain experience elsewhere, his legend never ceased.

Ning Fengzhi and the two Supreme Elders, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, often spoke of Ning Feiliu. These two elders, who had witnessed Tang Chen's prowess, both said that Ning Feiliu was comparable to the first generation "Haotian Douluo".

In Heaven Dou City, Ning Feiliu was praised as comparable to Tang Hao, the "Haotian Douluo," who became the youngest Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent, killed the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and eventually became famous throughout the continent.

Over time, the story spread like this.

However, in the eyes of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, Ning Feiliu's potential was actually comparable to that of the legendary Soul Master who first earned the name "Haotian".

However, Tang Chen's era is too far removed from the present. In the original story, even Ning Fengzhi, apart from Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, seemed unaware of the legends of "Tang Chen" and "Qian Daoliu".

Moreover, the extreme that a person can imagine is usually the extreme that he has seen or heard of.

Ordinary people think that being a Title Douluo is the pinnacle of a Soul Master, and even ordinary Title Douluos like Dugu Bo think that Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu are the pinnacle of Soul Masters.

Only people like Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu would know that the ultimate goal of a Soul Master is to become a god!

That's how ordinary people see it.

The most prominent figures they knew were Haotian Douluo Tang Hao and Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji. They didn't even know about the other elders of the Spirit Hall, so they could only imagine that Ning Feiliu's future limit would be the same as Tang Dachuizi's.

Now... they are even more certain of this.

As for Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, they were even more pleasantly surprised.

Seeing Ning Feiliu's seemingly battle-hardened and composed demeanor, they immediately felt...

It turns out that sending Ning Feiliu out to gain experience did have its benefits.

In their view, Ning Feiliu gained such rich practical experience only because of this trip out for training.

However... it wasn't entirely due to his training outside the region. After all, Jax's martial arts skills and combat experience were accumulated through continuous battles during his training trips.

But the key isn't in going out to gain experience, it's in his cheat code!

However, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were unaware of this matter; they were simply still reflecting on it.

Back in the Heaven Dou Arena, his combat reaction, sense of smell, and strength were simply on a completely different level!

Even if Ning Feiliu is still at the Soul Master level, she could easily defeat a Soul Master in the Great Soul Arena, right?

This strength is simply too formidable.

I can't even imagine how strong Ning Feiliu will be when she reaches a higher level.

Even against opponents of the same Title Douluo level, he could complete... a challenge beyond his level, right?

"Father, Grandpa Bone, I'm going to absorb a spirit ring." Just then, Ning Feiliu sat down cross-legged and said to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo.

"Go ahead." Ning Fengzhi nodded; he wasn't too worried.

However, as Ning Feiliu is currently the future hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he still needs to keep a close eye on him to prevent any accidents from happening.

however……

There were no surprises.

Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and the others guarded Ning Feiliu for three hours. Finally, Ning Feiliu's aura suddenly stabilized, and the black soul ring of the three-headed red demon hound landed on his Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, completely stabilizing it.

From then on, Ning Feiliu's four spirit rings (two purple and two black) became five spirit rings (two purple and three black).

He has officially broken through to the Soul King realm!

Upon seeing that Ning Feiliu had finished absorbing the spirit ring, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and walked towards him together with Bone Douluo.

"Fei Liu, how is it? What is your soul skill?" he asked directly.

Ning Feiliu opened her eyes, faced Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, and nodded, "Father, Grandpa Bone, let me take a look first."

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were not in a hurry, and quietly waited for Ning Feiliu to speak first.

After waiting for a while, Ning Feiliu finally learned what her fifth soul skill set was, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Father, Grandpa Bone, my martial soul's amplification skill is soul power amplification," he said to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo.

"Soul power amplification... Hmm, as expected. The Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound is a soul beast whose attack is greater than its defense, and its soul ring is more likely to resonate with the soul power amplification power within your body." Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile.

"What about the other soul skills? To be honest, Fei Liu, the soul skills of your Crescent Moon Divine Weapons are always a pleasant surprise. I can't wait to find out what special soul skills your Crescent Moon Divine Weapons have this time." Bone Douluo said to Ning Fei Liu with some anxiety.

"First of all... I discovered that I've obtained a very special and powerful soul skill this time," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"Yingyan's fifth soul skill... Hellish Dusk Returns to Silence, a single-target attack soul skill that releases a burst of hellfire. Enemies hit by it will be instantly burned to ashes unless I deactivate this soul skill."

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were taken aback when they heard this, because although a single-target attack soul skill sounded incredibly powerful, it wasn't actually that strong.

Why did Ning Feiliu say that this soul skill was special and powerful?

Just as they were wondering, Ning Feiliu smiled and said, "And this soul skill... can ignore all defensive and immune soul skills."

This... Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both widened their eyes in surprise.

Good heavens, it's actually a powerful offensive soul skill that ignores all defensive and immune soul skills!

No wonder it's a single-target soul skill; no wonder Ning Feiliu said this soul skill is special and powerful.

This hellish twilight and stillness is truly... incredibly powerful.

This means that the enemy can no longer use defensive or immune-type soul skills to withstand Ning Feiliu's soul skill attack, because it's completely useless!

The enemy has only two options: either be more powerful than Ning Feiliu and ignore the power of this soul skill, or dodge it!

However, the enemy was unaware of the effects of Ning Feiliu's soul skill, so the consequences were predictable. Either the powerful cultivators were far stronger than Ning Feiliu and could withstand the soul skill without dying.

Either he'll be burned to ashes by Ning Feiliu's soul skill!

Ning Feiliu was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to obtain such an abnormally overpowered soul skill this time.

His first thought was that if he encountered those scoundrels in the future, he wouldn't be afraid of Xiao Wu's invincible invincible body!

However, it wasn't because he was afraid of Xiao Wu, after all, his cultivation level was now far ahead of those three.

Without the magic herb, Shrek Academy is nothing but a pile of crap. If they went to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, they would probably be at the bottom.

The only one to worry about is Tang San, who is favored by the Asura God, because... the immortal herbs don't actually have much of an effect on the cultivation of a nobody like him.

Putting aside everything else, Tang San is very strong just because he broke through to the Soul Sect level through his own cultivation, putting him back on the same starting line as the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils.

And then came a series of extraordinary adventures...

Ning Feiliu's concern is whether Tang San might suddenly have other opportunities even if he loses the immortal herb and the Sea God's test.

Or perhaps he failed to intercept the Sea God's test behind those scoundrels.

Then the scoundrel will be secretly given a cheat code by the Asura God and the Sea God, and he also has Xiao Wu's soul bone. Ning Feiliu's worry is that he will face the scoundrel with an invincible golden body.

Actually, he didn't necessarily want to be enemies with Tang San and his group. If Tang San didn't hinder him or provoke him, he wouldn't bother settling scores with this scoundrel.

But the key point is... Ning Feiliu has been feeling lately that Tang San will have his eyes on Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, as well as the magical herbs and other treasures he possesses...

So it's not that we're afraid of being targeted by thieves, it's that we're afraid of being targeted by thieves.

Those who know what a scoundrel does understand: first, once he sets his sights on something, he'll try to get it through any legitimate means possible.

But if we can't get it through normal means... then we'll resort to coercion, bribery, theft, robbery, and deception, using every possible method to get it!

How did the Tang Clan's unique skills come about in my previous life?

Isn't it something you learned by stealing?

There was also the time when he coveted Huo Gua's power in Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, but he couldn't do it, so he took most of it in his daughter's name.

However, he would feel sentimental, saying that everything he did was for the Tang Clan, for his daughter, and so on.

But in reality, aren't all the things we do for ourselves?

Ning Feiliu really needs to be wary of someone like Tang San.

He only slightly considered the future scoundrel with the invincible golden body of his deceased wife's soul as his current imaginary enemy.

Now that he possesses the powerful Hellish Illumination Returns to Silence, a soul skill so strong that it ignores defense and immunity, he should no longer be afraid of invincible soul skills like Invincible Golden Body.

Ning Fengzhi nodded in approval, "A soul skill that ignores defense and immunity... Excellent! This soul skill is indeed extremely powerful!"

"What about other soul skills? Hmm... are there any special other soul skills?" Bone Douluo, the old rascal, asked impatiently again.

Ning Feiliu had no choice but to say again, "There is another soul skill... my fifth soul skill of the Soul Breaker is called Heavenly Prison Bloodfire Seal."

"Release a seal, temporarily activating and sealing the last two spirit rings for one hour, granting a 1000% increase in strength, speed, attack power, and self-healing ability!" he added. "This spirit skill can also be used on others besides oneself."

This soul skill... is a double-edged sword.

This is almost equivalent to sealing the Soul Master's last two strongest Soul Skills in exchange for a terrifying amplification effect.

A boost effect ten times greater than its own! It can only be said that this boost effect is the kind of soul skill effect that only top-tier soul beasts with a lifespan of at least 80,000 years can produce.

However, the price is that you can't use your two strongest soul skills. As we all know, the strongest part of a soul master lies in their soul skills.

By sealing off his two strongest soul skills, it's basically equivalent to not being able to unleash his ultimate move; he can only fight using basic skills and his enhanced physical attributes.

This soul skill can be used not only on oneself but also on others, providing another opportunity for action.

For example, if you give this soul skill to a teammate who doesn't have enough soul power to unleash their strongest remaining soul skill, they will immediately transform into a berserker and beat up the opponent.

Or you could just give it to the support or defense type Soul Master on the other side... They would get a boost, but would the boost to strength, speed, attack, and self-recovery be useful to support or defense type Soul Masters?

Defensive-type Soul Masters might be okay, but a tough guy like Graphite Millstone, who can just grab a shield and become an oil captain, smashing things around, would be incredibly useful.

But support-type Soul Masters... do you really expect them to boost your physique tenfold and then just come up and smash people to death with their fists?

It might work in a game, but in the reality of Douluo Continent... facing a group of powerful warriors, a support-type soul master with ten times the physique is roughly equivalent to a chick being strengthened ten times and turning into a rooster.

However... the Heavenly Prison Bloodfire Seal needs to be applied to someone else before it can be released, and there is a clear release process involved.

It's fine to release it to your own people.

However, hitting a support-type Soul Master who is usually standing at the back is basically unrealistic, unless you go around to their back.

Therefore, the Heavenly Prison Bloodfire Seal wasn't as powerful as people thought. At least Ning Feiliu felt it wasn't as direct, simple, and brutal as the "Hell's Dark Illumination Returns to Stillness."

Not only does it ignore all defensive and immune-type soul skills, but its power is also quite formidable.

At least this Firefly Soul Skill, enhanced by the Hellfire of the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, which is close to the ultimate fire, is still a high-quality Soul Ring with an age of about 40,000 years. Burning a Soul Emperor to death should not be a problem.

As for the soul skills corresponding to Ning Feiliu's remaining three Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, they are as follows:

"Tongbi's fifth soul skill, Hellfire Storm, is an area-of-effect attack soul skill that unleashes a firestorm to kill enemies."

"The fifth soul skill of the Fallen Brightness, Moon Emperor's Prison Lock, is a range control soul skill that releases ten times the gravity to imprison the enemy, rendering them unable to move. Even the release of soul power will be affected by the gravity."

"Folding Mirror's fifth soul skill, Spirit-Stabilizing Prison-Breaking Array, releases a large array composed of thirty spirit-stabilizing elements that attack in tandem with my attack."

The fifth soul skill corresponding to these three crescent moon divine weapons is indeed nothing special or powerful.

Tong Bi's fifth soul skill is an area-of-effect attack soul skill. Ning Feiliu has several of them. The power is not very strong in his soul skill set, but the release speed is still very fast.

Zhui Ming's fifth soul skill is another area control soul skill. However, while controlling the enemy, it can also slow down the enemy's soul power release speed. This also means that the opponent's soul skill release is also very slow, and the probability of being interrupted is greatly increased.

However, if the opponent's strength and cultivation level are very high, the control effect will be weakened considerably.

The fifth soul skill of the Folding Mirror is a formation version of the first soul skill. It can be combined with a secondary weapon to release different formations. The Azure version is a long-range artillery sniping formation, the Bright Fall version is a group control formation, the Soul Break version is invincible in melee, and the Flame version can cause extremely terrifying area damage.

However... this can be considered an unconventional field.

After absorbing the spirit ring of the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, Ning Feiliu's spirit power did not increase by one level. After all, the last time he absorbed the fourth spirit ring was the 20,000-year-old Demon Eye Tree. Now, his fifth spirit ring is the 40,000-year-old Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, so it is not considered to have exceeded the limit of absorbing a spirit ring.

Therefore, his soul power did not increase much; it remained at level 51.

However, accompanied by Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and others, Ning Feiliu, after destroying his first spirit ring to release the [Summoning of the God of Forging], absorbed a 50,000-year-old Vajra Tiger as his new first spirit ring.

Then he broke through to level one of soul power and reached level fifty-two of soul power.

After that, Ning Feiliu and his group left the Star Dou Great Forest.

But shortly after they left, an even more ferocious and towering three-headed red demon hound emerged from the jungle, its body ablaze with hellfire. It seemed that if it hadn't restrained itself, the vast jungle around it would have been burned to ashes.

This is, of course, the Crimson King, the king of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hounds and the eighth of the ten most ferocious beasts in the Peerless Tang Sect!

Its enormous face clearly showed a human-like confusion, not because it was confused about the death of its own kind.

Although it was very sad, it was more concerned about...

"Why does that weak human exude a fiery aura that feels superior to my hellfire?" the Crimson King murmured.
