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

Chapter 38 Preparing for Operation

"What do you hope your future will be like...?"

"My fight is so they don't have to fight. What is your fight for?"

"Seize the opportunity..."

"Do you really have no regrets about the past?"

"True grace is beautiful because of its imperfections, sincere because of its emotions, and free because of its vulnerability."

"This world has great potential; it needs to be properly developed!"

"Of all the weapons in the world, none is more powerful than your belief..."

"elder brother!"

……

Ning Feiliu suddenly woke up from her bed and lay there in a daze.

"Was I dreaming just now?" he asked curiously.

But he couldn't remember anything about what happened in the dream or what the voices said.

However, Ning Feiliu didn't care at all; dreams are just trivial matters.

The key is……

"I actually got drunk last night." Ning Feiliu was speechless. He was drunk by that kind of alcoholic beverage. If he told his friends from his past life, they would probably laugh him to death.

Next time I need to be more careful; at least I should use my soul power to sober up.

The soul power in this world is indeed similar to the internal energy in martial arts novels. The ability of internal energy to force out alcohol, poison, etc., in martial arts novels can also be achieved with soul power.

"Sister Yan took me back to my room, right?" After feeling a little embarrassed, he got up.

Ning Feiliu was about to wash up when he noticed that the leftover food from last night was still on the table in the yard, emitting an extremely unpleasant sour smell, which attracted many birds and insects to linger there.

"Huh? Didn't Sister Yan help pack my things?" He was taken aback, finding it a bit strange.

Usually, after eating with him, Dugu Yan would take the initiative to help him clean up the table and remove food scraps.

Although he was drunk last night and only Dugu Yan was sober, Dugu Yan doesn't seem to be the kind of person who cares about who does more work.

"Never mind..." Ning Feiliu was not dissatisfied with Dugu Yan.

He first tidied up his things, then washed up, and then continued his experimental journey.

Ning Feiliu's recent experiments have mainly focused on the venom of the Jade Scale Snake given to him by Dugu Yan. He has already made preliminary findings on the timing and reactions of the Jade Scale Snake venom.

The remaining task is to experiment to determine the attack mechanism and how to effectively suppress the attack of the Jade Scale Snake venom.

He actually experimented and found some results, but it was clear that the experimental data was not enough to achieve the effect he wanted.

Once Ning Feiliu had fully grasped everything about the Jade Scale Serpent's venom, she planned to go and deceive Dugu Bo.

In fact, Tang San only needed to copy the methods used by Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo to cure the poison.

The toxins in Dugu Yan's body can be forced into her soul bone, while Dugu Bo needs to take a herbal medicine made from diluted blood of two immortal herbs, namely, Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot and Delicate Grass, to strengthen his body and nourish his vital energy.

The only problem is how to gain Dugu Bo's trust.

That would require solid pharmacological knowledge, the ability to describe the onset time and reactions of the venom of the Jade Scale Snake, and ideally, even methods to suppress it.

After all, in the original story, Dugu Bo directly poisoned Tang San to test him and made him cure the poison.

The most terrifying toxin among them is, of course, the venom of the Jade Scale Snake, belonging to Dugu Bo.

Therefore, just in case, he had to prepare a comprehensive plan.

But now, Ning Feiliu is not far from that step.

……

For more than ten days in a row, Ning Feiliu continued to run her clinic, conduct experiments, and cultivate as usual.

The experiment began to make progress, and he finally developed an antiserum against the venom of the Jade Scale Snake and created the corresponding alchemical agent.

This gave Ning Feiliu ample time to prepare and gain Dugu Bo's trust.

At the same time, he also had a vague feeling that the day he broke through to level 20 of soul power was not far away.

During this period of time, while Ning Feiliu was cultivating with the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, she was also carefully calculating the time required for each breakthrough in soul power.

It took him 20 days to break through from level 14 to level 15, just as he had initially expected.

However, it took him 29 days to break through from level 15 to level 16.

It took me almost two months to break through from level 18 to level 19 in soul power last time...

This means we've been waiting for almost two months again.

Now that she was finally about to break through, Ning Feiliu was naturally quite excited.

This is the perfect time to break through, and after completing the mission, you can go to Sunset Forest to obtain your second spirit ring!

But just then, Ning Feiliu seemed to realize...

"Hmm? Why hasn't Sister Yan come for so long?" He put down his lab notebook and said somewhat blankly.

Over the past ten days or so, he was so engrossed in the experiments and the excitement of his impending breakthrough that he didn't even notice that Dugu Yan hadn't visited in a long time.

Actually, since Dugu Yan enrolled in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she hasn't come to see him every day.

However, the interval between visits was no more than a week. Once, Dugu Yan went into seclusion for a week when she wanted to break through to level 30 of soul power, which is why she didn't come to see him during that time.

Breaking through a bottleneck is far more difficult for a Soul Master than breaking through to the next level of Soul Power.

Naturally, many Soul Masters would go into seclusion to break through their limits.

But she had only recently broken through to level 30, so it was impossible for her to break through another bottleneck during this time. How could she not have come to see him for so long?

He had a bad feeling.

Ning Feiliu frowned slightly. He took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go find Sister Yan... I should be able to find her at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

So he immediately got up and prepared to go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not located in Heaven Dou City, but rather in the outskirts of the city.

The main reason is that, being located in the suburbs, the Tian Dou Royal Academy's campus would have a larger area, and various simulated training grounds could be built.

In the Douluo Continent era, there were no shortcuts for Soul Masters to increase their Soul Power. Apart from the immortal herbs that only Tang San knew about that could increase Soul Power, the only option was to cultivate diligently.

In this era, herbs were mostly used for physical training and restoring physical strength.

It's like having medicinal cuisine plus protein powder in your previous life; eating it can speed up the recovery of your physical condition, and then you can continue to train.

But this only increases strength, speed, and defense; it doesn't really increase soul power.

But there are shortcuts to cultivation.

This shortcut is the simulated training ground. Depending on the martial soul and its attributes, training in the corresponding environment can accelerate the speed of soul power cultivation.

For example, the direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can accelerate their cultivation speed by cultivating in places full of gems and precious metals.

Although the speed increase is not significant, it still improves the cultivation speed.

The original owner cultivated in this way all along, but unfortunately, the original owner only increased his soul power by 10 levels in 6 years.

However, without these cultivation conditions, the original owner might have needed even longer to increase his soul power by 10 levels.

After all, support-type Soul Masters generally cultivate at a slower pace than battle-type Soul Masters.

Soon, Ning Feiliu arrived at the gate of Tiandou City. After being allowed to pass, he headed towards the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Support-type Soul Masters cultivate slower than Battle-type Soul Masters. In the original story, Flander mentioned that support-type Soul Masters generally improve their cultivation very slowly, especially food-type Soul Masters.

For example, Oscar, who was born with full soul power, only broke through to Soul Master at the age of 14, but it's definitely not true that Dai Mubai, who was born with full soul power, broke through to Soul Master at the age of 13. (It is known that there were only four people with full soul power in Tang San's Soul Master Competition: Tang San, Xiao Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and Oscar, and Dai Mubai was definitely not one of them.)

Ning Rongrong was born with a level nine soul power, but at the age of twelve she was only at level twenty-six. This means that Ning Rongrong's innate level nine soul power was almost double that of the protagonist's talent. In six years, she only increased her soul power by seventeen levels. Therefore, it is reasonable for the protagonist to increase his soul power by 10 levels in six years.
