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

Chapter 263 Two Tasks

"Is that so?" Ning Feiliu really hadn't expected it, but he didn't care. For him, it was a good thing.

After all, you can complete the task of the Spirit Blossom Tree without spending your own time and effort.

Why not do it?

"After all, many people actually hope... to see their deceased loved ones one last time," Dugu Bo said with deep feeling.

"That's true." Ning Feiliu nodded, then said, "Teacher, I've said what I needed to say. If there's nothing else... I'm going to find Sister Yan."

Dugu Bo gave him a satisfied look and said with a smile, "Go ahead, you young people have more in common, I won't bother you. By the way, you really don't have any plans to participate in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament?"

Ning Feiliu was helpless; he really didn't have any interest in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

After all, the reward isn't that great, and besides...

In the original storyline, the Spirit Hall was able to offer three spirit bones as prizes for the champion of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Tournament because they believed that with the Golden Generation in the game, the Spirit Hall would definitely be able to retain its championship title.

This is actually a kind of confident pre-arranged decision.

Because Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, these three genius soul masters known as the Golden Generation by the Spirit Hall, are Soul King-level powerhouses who have never appeared before in the competition.

The team consists of three Soul King level members, and the siblings Hu Liena and Xie Yue also possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill – Enchantress.

It's important to understand that a Spirit Fusion Skill allows the strongest Spirit Master to unleash combat power that surpasses a major realm.

In other words, Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Enchantress, can at least unleash the combat power of a Soul Emperor.

In the original work, it was even more outrageous. Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Enchantress, could unleash Soul Saint-level combat power!

In this situation, to paraphrase a certain professional commentator who never suffers hardship, it's like... how can you lose when the dragon is right in front of you?

However, in the original storyline, things didn't go as planned, but an unexpected event occurred, and they actually lost, giving Tang San and his companions three soul bones for nothing.

The reason why the Spirit Hall dared to offer three spirit bones as prizes for the champion of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament was because Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, the three genius spirit masters whom the Spirit Hall called the Golden Generation, possessed overwhelming strength.

However, if Ning Feiliu announces her participation in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament...

When the time comes to announce it, those with Soul Emperor-level strength will participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

The Spirit Hall isn't stupid. Do you think they'd still be so confident that Hu Liena and her team would win?

The key point is that there is still a Kun year before the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

One year is enough for Kun Kun to practice for two and a half years and become a fan of singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball.

Ning Feiliu's cultivation speed is due to the combined effects of the Sun and Moon Breathing Technique, the Calm and Contemplative Rune, and the cultivation speed boost granted by the ongoing travel missions.

So, even if Kunnian were the weakest he could be, it would still be enough for him to break through to the Soul Saint realm.

This is the confidence that cheat codes bring to Ning Feiliu.

A Soul Saint defeating a Soul King is nothing more than a trivial matter, isn't it?

Even without Ning Feiliu's numerous soul skills and the boost from the exploding rings, even if all seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team were Soul Kings, they still wouldn't be enough to defeat her.

Ning Feiliu could even be so arrogant that she could bring up the Spirit Hall Academy team along with their substitutes.

Besides... Ning Feiliu has teammates. As long as he joins the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he will be joined by Dugu Yan, who is now a Soul King, and Yu Tianheng and the others.

The Spirit Hall has absolutely no chance of winning.

However, Ning Feiliu was unaware that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy now had more than just Dugu Yan as a Soul King.

And... Ye Lingling.

Thanks to the immortal herb Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, gifted by Ning Feiliu, Ye Lingling's soul power has increased by ten levels compared to before. After all, in addition to the immediate increase in soul power, the immortal herb also enhances her talent cultivation speed.

There's also the Xuan Shui Pill from before, and the cultivation speed boost from the Moon Essence Breathing Technique.

Therefore, Ye Lingling had just broken through to the Soul King realm not long ago, which shocked all the young talents in Tiandou City.

Some people have already given the title of "Generation of Heaven" to Ye Lingling, excluding Yu Tianheng.

After all... aside from his family background, Yu Tianheng hasn't broken through to the Soul Master level yet, which clearly puts him at a disadvantage compared to Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan.

This forced comparison, which may have initially been a compliment to Yu Tianheng, has now become a form of mockery given the obvious disparity between them.

Yu Tianheng was essentially being roasted over a fire, but unfortunately, he was forced to be compared to Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan.

Regardless, with his talent and the power of his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul, he is still a force to be reckoned with in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Therefore, if Ning Feiliu were to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament... even on paper, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would seem destined to win.

It's impossible for the Spirit Hall to offer three more spirit bones as prizes for the champion of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament when they know they're doomed to lose.

Therefore, participating in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament truly became a prestigious reward.

Why would Ning Feiliu go to participate?

After all, the finals will be held in Wuhun City, the headquarters of the Spirit Hall.

Although he doesn't have twin martial souls like Tang San, and because Tang San is basically a mortal enemy of the Spirit Hall, the original Spirit Hall storyline implies that they would do anything to eliminate Tang San, regardless of their reputation.

But I still feel it's quite dangerous.

Others might think that Wuhun City is just so-so, only the Wuhun Hall's experts and soul masters are all there.

The strongest members of the Spirit Hall are only those level 95 Title Douluo like Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo...

With Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi protecting them, even the Spirit Hall wouldn't be able to do anything to the Heaven Dou Empire's team that will be participating in the competition in Spirit City.

But that would be too naive. In Gouba Martial Soul City, there is a group of old bastards with soul power far exceeding level 95.

There's even a thousand streams there.

BYD is located at the site of the angel god's legacy, just like Poseidon was on the island of Poseidon.

Qian Daoliu can borrow the power of the Angel God at any time. If you provoke him, even if Tang Chen goes there, he will be slapped hard and have to run away in a sorry state.

Although it's not entirely certain that Tang Hao actually defecated on the walls of Spirit City in the original storyline, it's unclear why Qian Daoliu and those old bastards from the Hall of Offerings didn't come out.

Perhaps it was because of their political struggle with Bibi Dong that they stood by and watched her lose face.

It's also possible that Tang San and Tang Hao simply have the protagonist's halo, which forcibly lowers their intelligence.

However, Ning Feiliu did not believe that she possessed any special ability to lower the intelligence of enemies, nor did she intend to take any risks just for a title.

Unless there are real, tangible benefits, why would he take the risk?

"Hehe, teacher, actually I..." Ning Feiliu was just about to ask when she realized what was going on...

Suddenly, two lines of small print appeared before his eyes—

[Leading the Tianshui Academy team to an undefeated record (team battle), they won the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, obtaining the foundational rune Glacier Amplification.]

Witness the immortal legacy of the Sun Angel God in Martial Soul City, and receive the blessing of the Sun Star Spirit and the rune—Legendary Resilience.

What? This has triggered another quest?

Two runes or two?

Does this include Keystone Runes?

Glaciers...increase.

Ning Feiliu now understands very well that the true foundational runes are not simple at all. For example, the Dark Harvest rune can actually destroy the world in the future!

As for the blessings of the Sun Spirit...

Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment, then decided to leave it at that. She already had enough blessings on her body, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

However... is he supposed to join the Tianshui Academy team to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament?

Undefeated isn't difficult, but joining the Tianshui Academy team...

Ning Feiliu gave a wry smile; this might cause Dugu Yan to misunderstand.

However... never mind, his relationship with Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er will be exposed sooner or later, and he can't keep it a secret forever.

He'll just talk to Dugu Yan directly later.

If Dugu Yan harbors resentment towards him because of this, he will accept it.

After all, it was indeed his fault.

But he couldn't abandon Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, after all... they were the ones who saved his life.

Moreover, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er almost died back then.

How could Ning Feiliu possibly abandon them...?

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly freeze and stop talking?" Dugu Bo found it strange and immediately asked him.

"I'll probably still participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but I might not join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Ning Feiliu said slowly, letting out a breath.

"Not joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes and asked, "Then which academy are you joining? Do you... think joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and winning the championship is meaningless?"

He misunderstood, thinking that Ning Feiliu was deliberately making things more difficult for herself, and that joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team and then winning the championship was meaningless.

However, given Ning Feiliu's strength... he could win the championship no matter what, it does require a bit of difficulty.

"I guess so," Ning Feiliu said with a forced expression. "The main thing is to increase my own strength."

Completing these two tasks will grant you another Keystone Rune, Glacial Augment, a common Legendary Rune, Resilience, and a Sun God's Blessing whose specifics are currently unknown.

It can be said that his strength will see another significant improvement.

After all... that's yet another keystone rune!

"You..." Dugu Bo thought for a moment, but had nothing to say.

After all, in his understanding, Ning Feiliu was indeed like that.

"Fine, then you can tell Yan Yan. Go, go find Yan Yan." Dugu Bo waved his hand, finally letting Ning Feiliu go.

Ning Feiliu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat uneasy, and said, "Yes, then teacher... I'll go find Sister Yan."

"Go quickly! Don't bother me." Dugu Bo waved his hand and said somewhat impatiently.

Then he turned around and continued fiddling with the medicines.

"Snow Emperor." Ning Feiliu immediately called out to the Snow Emperor, who returned to his body.

Xue Di nodded, then transformed into a beam of white light and returned to Ning Feiliu's body.

Ning Feiliu then left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and headed towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy...

"Come at me all at once," Dugu Yan said with a smile, looking at the four people in front of her: Oslo, Yufeng, and Shimoshimo.

"This... even if we all work together, we can't beat you, Captain..." Osro said with a forced expression.

"Yes, Captain, once you used your Jade Scale Serpent Venom, we were all wiped out..." Yu Feng glanced at Dugu Yan with some fear.

Given her unparalleled cultivation level, Dugu Yan would never again be content to serve as a mere vice-captain under Yu Tianheng.

In terms of status, she is backed by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, which is no less than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind Yu Tianheng.

In terms of strength, she is now a Soul King, while Yu Tianheng is still only a Soul Venerable.

In terms of seniority, she had already participated in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but due to the original captain's position, she only served as the vice captain.

However, this also means that she is more senior than Yu Tianheng.

Therefore, she naturally became the captain of this year's Tian Dou Royal Academy team.

Dugu Bo smiled slightly upon hearing Oslo and Yu Feng's words, "I'm just testing your skills and teamwork. Don't worry, I won't use the Azure Scale Serpent's venom, or even my soul skills."

After all, Oslo, Yufeng, and the Stone Graphite brothers are only Soul Masters, so how could she possibly use Soul Skills?

However, with her Soul King cultivation level alone, she was more than capable of defeating Oslo, Yufeng, and the Shimo Shimo brothers with just her soul power cultivation and physical strength.

"Since that's how it is... then fine." Oslo and the other three said, on the verge of tears.

"Use your soul skills freely, don't be shy, just bring it on," Dugu Yan said with a smile.

Oslo, Yufeng, and the Shimoshimo brothers immediately summoned their martial spirits and began to fight Dugu Yan with all their might.

however……

Ye Lingling watched from the sidelines as Oslo, Yufeng, and the Shimo and Shimo brothers were suppressed and brutally beaten by Dugu Yan alone.

However, Dugu Yan didn't take it too seriously. Instead, she let them do their thing and then she would retaliate.

Even so, Oslo, Yufeng, and the Shimo and Shimo brothers were still unable to withstand Dugu Yan's counterattack and were injured.

But that doesn't matter at all, because with Ye Lingling around, she can help them recover from even the most serious injuries, as long as they don't lose a hand or a foot.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Master, at the Soul King level, is already showing signs of his domineering healing abilities.

Just then...

"Lingling, the captain is really strong." A familiar voice came.

However, Ye Lingling did not look at the person who came over, but said, "Dugu is not serious yet."

Yu Tianheng sat down next to Ye Lingling and said with a sigh, "It really makes me think... how can we be so different when we're the same age..."

"Lingling, you're amazing too." He looked at Ye Lingling's pretty face hidden under her veil and said admiringly.

"I'm not that great," Ye Lingling coldly denied.

The truly formidable one is Ning Feiliu. Without her, she and Dugu Yan would probably only be Soul Masters like Yu Tianheng and the others.
