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

Chapter 312 Double Divine Weapon | Soul Master Competition Imminent

So very soon... a month after returning to Heaven Dou City, Dugu Yan broke through the final level of soul power and advanced to the Soul Emperor realm!

The process of her acquiring the spirit ring was very simple, and she didn't need to worry about anything.

The types of spirit beasts in Sunset Forest are relatively few, making it more suitable for spirit masters with poison attributes, especially spirit beasts that are tens of thousands of years old or older, which are mostly poison or yin attribute spirit beasts.

For advanced Soul Masters who have specific requirements for the types of Soul Beasts, Sunset Forest has never been their first choice.

Therefore, even though Tiandou City and Sunset Forest are very close, some people still prefer to go to Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings.

Ning Feiliu was like that. He was fine during his Soul Master period, as he could still acquire a few Soul Rings in Sunset Forest.

However, he obtained his spirit rings during his Soul Master and Soul King periods by going to the Star Dou Great Forest.

It's because his martial soul isn't well-suited for poison-attribute soul beasts (Demon Eye Tree: ???), but most importantly, he has lofty ambitions.

With the Soul Ring Explosion skill, he plans to deal with those ferocious beasts in the future! So, he first absorbs the Soul Rings of the races to which those ferocious beasts belong.

Dugu Yan, however, did not need to go through such trouble. First of all, she was a poison-attribute Soul Master, and the types of Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest were just right for her.

Secondly, Sunset Forest is Dugu Bo's stronghold, so obtaining spirit rings will be a very easy thing for her.

Unless Dugu Yan reaches the Soul Douluo or Title Douluo realm in the future and pursues Soul Beasts that are over 70,000 or 80,000 years old, or even 100,000 years old, she will not need to hunt Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But now, even a 60,000-year-old soul beast, Dugu Bo can pick one out in Sunset Forest, and even clean it up for her so she can just kill it and absorb the soul ring.

The absorption process of Dugu Yan's sixth spirit ring was very easy, and the quality of the sixth spirit ring was also quite good, being at the 50,000-year level.

After absorbing her sixth spirit ring, she quickly became a Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Master.

This news shocked not only Heaven Dou City, but also the entire Douluo Continent shortly afterward.

Half a year later, Ye Lingling also broke through to the Soul Emperor realm. Together with Ning Feiliu, who had long been rumored to have broken through to the Soul Emperor level and was rumored to be able to break through to the Soul Saint realm, and Dugu Yan, the three of them were known as the "Generation of Heaven" and their reputation grew even more.

Just like the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation" during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament in the original work, this title was recognized by the entire continent.

This is indeed even more impressive than the "Golden Generation." The word "heaven" is the best way to describe the unparalleled talent of these three. These three young people, around twenty years old, have actually broken through to the Soul Emperor realm.

Compared to the other "prodigies" in Tiandou City, Yu Tianheng had only recently broken through to the Soul Sect realm, which was much longer than the Soul King realm, let alone the Soul Emperor realm.

Fortunately, no one had tried to force him into the "Generation of Heaven" for a while.

Otherwise, we might be making a fool of ourselves now.

Ning Feiliu, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan are truly terrifying. Their cultivation speed is astounding; they are all at least Soul Emperor level by the age of twenty.

Even the original Haotian Twins were far inferior!

Of course, some people think that... this is "the times make heroes". Back in Tang Hao's era, there were no Xuan Shui Dan, no soul power recovery potions, no upgrade potions or other elixirs to help with cultivation.

It is precisely because such a powerful elixir has appeared in this era that the talents of this generation of young people appear so formidable.

As for Ning Feiliu, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan... especially Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling, this "engaged couple," their cultivation has progressed so quickly, they might actually be...

And all of this... these people owe it all to...

Dugu Bo!

This titled Douluo, known as "Poison," possessed terrifying poison skills that inspired immense fear, while his pharmacological expertise was also highly admirable.

Besides him, who else could have developed such a powerful elixir?

Therefore, the people of Douluo Continent are more convinced that Dugu Bo is the master who developed these miraculous elixirs.

Dugu Bo's reputation soared during this period, not only because people believed he was the master pharmacist who had developed these miraculous elixirs, but also because...

His strength is now vastly different from what it used to be. Originally the same age as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, he only had a level 91 soul power, making him almost the weakest among Title Douluo.

Although they can easily destroy a power or a family, causing its members to perish or even be wiped out, their strength still makes them somewhat despised by many major powers.

However, Dugu Bo has now condensed a poison core, and his soul power cultivation has reached level 94. His strength is such that he can directly confront and repel an unknown titled Douluo of level 95 named "Yue".

Even when facing Tang Hao, he seemed to be at a disadvantage in the slightest. With such strength, how could he be looked down upon? Even the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Dugu Bo is now known as a "late bloomer" because of this, even though his talent is not as good as Tang Hao, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and other titled Douluo of the same age or even those who surpassed him.

However, in the eyes of the people of Douluo Continent, he has now managed to catch up with the top tier of Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent by relying on his pharmacology skills.

He even created the "Generation of Heaven," a generation of monsters, using many of the miraculous elixirs he created.

That's really quite ruthless.

This also made the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent start to pay attention to... the discipline of pharmacology. Isn't this much more useful than those so-called Soul Master theories?

After all, researching which spirit beast spirit ring to absorb and which year is most suitable won't increase your spirit power.

To absorb a spirit ring and increase one's spirit power, one must absorb spirit rings beyond the limit, and not just by a little bit.

In the original story, Tang San absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old cave spider as his fourth spirit ring, which still had a spirit power of level 41.

The ability to absorb spirit rings beyond the limit is extremely rare. For example, you might be able to absorb a spirit ring that is at most a thousand years old, but you might need to absorb one that is seven or eight thousand years old before you can break through to the first level of spirit power.

If you were to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring instead of the thousand-year soul ring when you were absorbing your third soul ring, then jumping two or three levels would definitely be no problem.

Or, like Tang San, when he got his sixth spirit ring, he received a sacrifice from his wife, a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, which would allow him to break through to level seven or eight spirit power in no time.

But that is indeed rare. How many soul beasts are there that are 100,000 years old?

Even with the ability to absorb spirit rings beyond the limits, very few people can do it. In other words, according to the theories of spirit masters, it is very difficult to exceed the logic to improve spirit power, talent, or cultivation speed.

However, the alchemical potions such as the Mystic Water Pill, Soul Power Restoration Potion, and Upgrade Potion clearly tell you... yes!

Increase your soul power? Yes!

Enhance your talent? Yes!

Increase the speed of cultivating soul power? Yes, you can!

It increases the probability of breaking through to a higher realm... and it still works!

Isn't this much more useful than the Soul Master theory?

As a result, many sects and families began to consider the feasibility of "drug use".

And because of this, they began to envy Ning Feiliu and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Why?

In their view, it was precisely because Ning Feiliu won the heart of Dugu Yan that he won the heart of the beauty.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu received help from Dugu Bo, who then gave the formulas for the Xuan Shui Dan pill and the alchemy potion to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Little did they know, it was not Dugu Bo who gave the formulas for the Xuan Shui Dan pill and the alchemy potion to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Ning Feiliu.

Instead, Ning Feiliu first solved the problem of snake venom backlash for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, then gave the grandfather and grandson the extremely powerful cultivation method, the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, and then used it to give the immortal herb to Dugu Yan. She also invented the Profound Water Pill and alchemy potion, and proposed a poison core method similar to a soul core for Dugu Bo to refer to...

Not to mention that the Spirit Blossom Flower allowed Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to see Dugu Xin and Duan Zilin again, and enabled them to continue living in the Little Spirit Realm.

Dugu Bo has always been clear about his gratitude and grudges, and he will repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude.

In the original story, Tang San first demanded an exorbitant amount of money and took all of his herbs, and then took over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well without any qualms.

What does Ning Feiliu's immense kindness to their family amount to?

He was completely convinced of Ning Feiliu's identity, to the point that... he actually noticed the relationship between Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er. Instead of taking the initiative to make trouble, he secretly asked Dugu Yan what was going on.

After Dugu Yan confirmed that she knew about this and had no complaints, he stopped dwelling on it.

Indeed... a boy as outstanding as Ning Feiliu, Dugu Yan might not be able to hold onto him forever.

Moreover, as long as Dugu Yan is happy, that's all that matters. As long as she doesn't care, Dugu Bo won't be in a difficult position.

After all, he felt that Ning Feiliu had given them too much, and he felt he had no way to repay her.

Putting aside the fact that if it weren't for Ning Feiliu, he and Dugu Yan might already be dead from the poison by now.

His current cultivation level and achievements are also due to Ning Feiliu's help.

From then on, Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin, and Duan Zilin tacitly accepted this matter.

Ning Feiliu isn't the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it. In fact, it's good that he's a womanizer, because being a womanizer is the only way to avoid abandoning anyone.

If Ning Feiliu were truly devoted to Dugu Yan regardless of circumstances, she might become dissatisfied with the next girl and choose to abandon her and replace her with her original partner because she wouldn't allow it.

Although I know Ning Feiliu isn't that kind of person, once a conflict arises and the rift widens, anything can happen.

Moreover, Ning Feiliu's family background and talent are indeed very strong. If things really break up, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not afraid of her.

This is also the best solution.

This matter was handled very tacitly, and it seemed that everyone reached a consensus immediately.

Besides Dugu Yan, who quickly broke through to the Soul Emperor realm, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er also broke through to the Soul King realm, and Ye Lingling broke through to the Soul Emperor realm after half a year.

Besides, what some people didn't notice was that, with Ye Lingling's quiet favoritism and help, Zhu Zhuqing also quietly broke through to the Soul Master realm a year later.

Over the past year, Zhu Zhuqing has gradually become familiar with Dugu Yan, Ning Feiliu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er through her interactions with Ye Lingling.

They were even closer than at Shrek Academy...

……

In addition, Ning Feiliu was also researching, cultivating soul power, and practicing... to control her distractions.

In terms of research, he successfully improved the Explorer's Armguard and other Soul Guidance Devices, and he also made preliminary progress in the research on the Soul Guidance Device Cannon.

He even went so far as to invent a rather crude soul tool—the soul bomb.

The reason it's described as "brutal" is because it really doesn't require any technical skill; it's simply... violently detonating the soul power crystal to cause an explosion.

Just like the monkey bomb in the previous life's Twin Cities War animation, it has very little technical content; the core technology is all in the soul power crystal.

He had only made a preliminary study on the soul-guided cannon. In addition, he also made more systematic regulations on alchemical pharmacology and compiled three more systematic medical books.

Under the circumstances of triggering the mission, Ning Feiliu received a series of scientific research mission rewards, including Jess's weapon forging experience, Viktor's research notes, and Ekko's Z-type drive principle.

But right now he's more focused on controlling the task at hand.

Even the final stage of distraction control is still very difficult to break through. According to Ning Fengzhi, it's best to practice more, and preferably in actual combat.

So he began to challenge the sect elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with Dugu Yan and others, practicing purely as a support-type Soul Master.

Besides that, there's the daily practice of using my fingers to write, with each of my seven fingers tied to a different pen to write.

Even so, given Ning Feiliu's level of comprehension, progress was extremely slow...

After all, this is a unique method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even among the direct descendants of the school, there are no more than ten soul masters who can reach the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart realm.

Ning Feiliu's comprehension is already quite outrageous.

He was not in a hurry, but practiced diligently every day.

at last……

A year and a half later, Ning Feiliu broke through.

He watched as the small characters before him shattered and transformed into a strange power, which gave him some insight into the secrets of the matter.

That is……

"Falling Bright! Glowing Flame!" he shouted, and then the two crescent moon divine weapons actually appeared in one of his hands at the same time.

It appears in a way that is... put together.

The Falling Light and the Glowing Flame have merged together, so there's no need to distinguish between main-hand and off-hand weapons; they can simply be used together!

This is the power of dual divine weapons; there's absolutely no need to distinguish which is the main-hand weapon and which is the off-hand weapon.

And the most impressive thing is not just that, but...

"The Ruined King's Sword! Azure Jade!"

Then, the Broken King Sword and the Azure Jade Sword were combined to form a double-edged sword-spear, which appeared in his other hand.

He now wields a double-edged sword-gun composed of the Azure Sword and the Broken King Sword in his right hand, and a dual-spray gun composed of the Falling Light and the Glowing Flame in his left.

It has a similar feel to Samira, who has a gun in her left hand and a sword in her right.

Moreover, the soul skills used are quite flexible, allowing users to choose whichever soul skill from the optimal Crescent Moon Divine Weapon set they wish to use.

Ning Feiliu's combat power... has truly been unleashed; upon closer examination, he seems to be an omnipotent and terrifying being.

Just as when he used these four crescent moon divine weapons, he received four major boosts: speed, strength, defense, and soul power. The soul skills he could use also combined the control of the Falling Brightness, the long-range violent output of the Firefly, the speed of the Azure Jade, and the mid-to-close-range killing power of the Broken King Sword!

This is an absolutely terrifying all-around Soul Master!

After finally completing this task and unlocking the reward of dual divine weapons, the once-every-five-years All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament... is about to begin!
