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

Chapter 59 A Prodigy

Like a raging storm, the blood-red scythe shadows, accompanied by streaks of emerald green soul energy bullets, rained down directly on the massive body of the male Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent. The first to be hit was its crimson crest, which was directly covered by the scythe shadows and bullets, and blood splattered everywhere.

Its head was covered with countless wounds!

"Hiss..." The male crested snake seemed to let out a mournful sound as its peculiar tail slammed heavily against Ning Feiliu!

However, Ning Feiliu dodged the attack by the male crested snake, creating several meters of distance.

After the splitting and mirroring effect ended, a bright green mark appeared on the male crested snake!

Ning Feiliu switched her main weapon to Tongbi, and then, from hundreds of meters away, locked onto the target and unleashed a Soul-Severing attack!

He swung his Soul-Severing Blade from a distance, and instantly a crescent-shaped energy slash landed directly on the massive body of the male Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.

Suddenly, a deep wound that exposed bone appeared.

The male crested snake howled in agony, and its miserable state terrified the female crested snake beside it, whose vertical pupils revealed a hint of human-like fear!

Then... the female crested snake hissed, its crest glowing a pale red light, and then flew away without looking back!

It actually... abandoned its mate and ran away!

However, the nature of living beings is to seek advantage and avoid harm, and morality and law are things that only intelligent beings possess.

Therefore, in nature, it is quite normal for animals to abandon their companions and run away when they discover that their companions are in danger.

In such cases, let alone abandoning their mates and running away, some animals will even eat their own mates in extreme situations, just for survival and reproduction!

And what if the female crested snake is currently pregnant?

Snakes are ovoviviparous animals, meaning they can reproduce through both oviparous and ovoviviparous methods.

What if the female crested snake is currently carrying eggs with offspring inside her body?

At this point, in order to protect their offspring, it is quite normal for the female crested snake to flee while the male crested snake provides cover.

But the male crested snake noticed the female's behavior and became unusually angry!

Seeing this, Ning Feiliu realized that the female crested snake was not pregnant and had chosen to abandon the male and run away.

He chuckled softly, then swept past the male crested snake in front of him and headed straight for the female crested snake.

"Go away, you're not my target." Ning Feiliu left those words behind and chased after the female crested snake.

There's no need to cause too much bloodshed, since male crested snakes aren't his target.

The male crested snake was momentarily stunned, but it quickly and wisely fled in another direction.

After all, Ning Feiliu's target wasn't it, and the female crested snake had abandoned it and run away, so it had no obligation to protect the female crested snake.

The male crested snake left, while Ning Feiliu chased after the female crested snake.

Although his soul power level is currently at level 20, without obtaining a soul ring, the speed boost he receives from using Tongbi is still only 20%.

The female Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was extremely fast. Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpents were known for their speed, and with the fact that it had run away beforehand, Ning Feiliu really couldn't catch up with it.

but……

"Azure Empyre! First Soul Skill!" Ning Feiliu's first soul ring flashed again as he used Azure Empyre to unleash a verdant energy shockwave forward, "Resurrection Moon Flash!"

The high-speed energy shockwave covered hundreds of meters in seconds, tearing through dozens of jungle trees before striking the female crested snake directly!

"Rip—"

Instantly, the female crested snake let out a mournful cry, and then a deep, bone-revealing wound tore open on her body.

Lock-on effect activated!

Ning Feiliu used Soul Severing Technique to unleash another crescent-shaped energy slash, which landed on...

On the pale red wings of the female crested snake!

"Rip—!"

Another painful tearing sound rang out as the female crested snake's pale red wings were instantly severed, and it immediately plummeted from mid-air!

"Soul Severance! First Soul Skill—" Ning Feiliu switched Soul Severance as her main weapon, unleashing a storm of blood scythe shadows!

"Dividing the shadows!"

The terrifying shadow of the blood-red scythe, accompanied by emerald-green energy bullets, rained down on the female crested serpent in front of her!

The female crested serpent had only a little over a thousand years of cultivation, and it did not have the powerful defense of the three-thousand-year-old male crested serpent. In an instant, its flesh and blood flew everywhere!

In an instant, its life force was completely extinguished, and a pale purple ring gradually condensed on its massive body.

It worked!

Ning Fei Liujun smiled faintly, and at the same time, the Soul Severing Technique he had used many times had exhausted its power and returned to his body.

At the same time, a new crescent moon divine weapon appeared in his hand, a heavy cannon gun with a dark purple sphere—the Falling Light.

But now, it's no longer needed for fighting.

This was also Ning Feiliu's intention. After all, although he was not an Aphelios specialist in his previous life, he still remembered the most basic gun control techniques.

If there's red, use red; if there's no red, use old!

After using up all the bullets for the Soul-Severing Blade, the old Crescent Moon Divine Weapon will be consumed.

This allows you to create the strongest Crescent Moon Divine Weapon combinations: Azure Jade + Falling Brightness, Falling Brightness + Firefly, Soul Breaker + Mirror Breaker, Azure Jade + Mirror Breaker!

These combinations constitute Aphelios's strongest weapon set.

"Good lad!" Just then, Dugu Bo, who had been following closely behind Ning Feiliu and watching the entire battle, appeared with a smile and brought Dugu Yan with him. His old face was full of smiles as he spoke.

"I have fulfilled my mission," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"You kid... you're really something." Dugu Bo looked at the thousand-year-old Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent corpse in front of him and said with emotion, "Although the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent isn't very aggressive, the one you just faced was a three-thousand-year-old soul beast, yet it was completely helpless against you and was even severely injured by you."

"To say it's a serious injury... that's an exaggeration, teacher," Ning Feiliu said, shaking her head helplessly.

That three-thousand-year-old male crested serpent is not so simple in terms of defense and strength.

At least the male crested serpent withstood his full combo of attacks before sustaining a single wound.

However, since the crested snake doesn't have any powerful attack methods, it simply uses its huge body to bite or swing its tail to attack.

So even if the male crested snake can withstand Ning Feiliu's attacks, once it gets a wound, it's just a punching bag to Ning Feiliu.

If you're facing a tank that can't kill you, even if your attacks are barely scratching the surface, you're just a slightly more vulnerable punching bag.

"Fei Liu's new martial soul..." Dugu Yan exclaimed, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "It feels incredibly powerful in terms of attack."

She had just witnessed the entire battle. You must know that Ning Feiliu was facing a soul beast with three thousand years of cultivation, while he was only at level 20 in soul power.

His Crescent Moon Divine Weapon could inflict a deep, bone-revealing wound on the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, which had cultivated for three thousand years. Although Ning Feiliu was somewhat modest, this attack ability was extraordinary!

"It is quite strong, after all, I went through so much hardship to obtain this martial soul..." Ning Feiliu said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Alright, go ahead and absorb the spirit ring," Dugu Bo quickly said. "I'm quite curious, as you said, after absorbing the immortal herb and then this spirit ring that's higher than your level, how many levels of spirit power will your spirit power increase after absorbing the spirit ring?"

Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll absorb this spirit ring first."

"Martial Soul! Appear!"

Ning Feiliu directly summoned his complete martial soul, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which housed five Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, and landed directly in front of him.

Then he sat down beside the corpse of the crested serpent and prepared to begin...

He suddenly looked a little embarrassed, because it was broad daylight and there was no moonlight to practice the Moon Essence Breathing Technique.

but……

From a modern perspective, moonlight is actually sunlight that has been absorbed and reflected by the moon, so we can actually use the moonlight breathing technique during the day... right?

Therefore, Ning Feiliu immediately began to try using the Moon Essence Breathing Technique to circulate her soul power.

But then he saw countless rays of sunlight gather around him, and he instantly felt as if flames were burning on his body!

No... The sunlight that hasn't been filtered and absorbed by the moon is far too scorching. No wonder it can only be cultivated by absorbing moonlight. If an ordinary person were to use the Moon Essence Breathing Method to absorb sunlight for cultivation, it would be tantamount to setting themselves on fire!

but……

Ning Feiliu's expression was strange; he had just consumed the Fiery Apricot Delight.

In other words, he is now immune to fire.

Of course, in his speculation, there must be a limit to fire immunity; it's impossible to be immune to flames at even higher temperatures.

After all, in the original story, Tang San was later severely beaten by Qian Renxue's Sun Sacred Flame, so we can conclude that the limit of the Blazing Apricot Blossom is at most the flame of an ordinary Soul Master.

For example, flames from Soul Masters of the same level, or even high-temperature flames below the Title Douluo level, are ineffective against Soul Masters who have consumed the Blazing Apricot Dew.

It may become ineffective at reaching the high temperatures achievable by fire-attribute soul masters at the Title Douluo level and above.

The intense heat from the sunlight now converging on Ning Feiliu did not cause her any discomfort.

So he continued to circulate his soul power using the Moon Essence Breathing Technique...

Ning Feiliu's situation can be considered as...

Did he accidentally modify the Moon Essence Breathing Method into the Sunlight Breathing Method?

Unfortunately, this Sunlight Breathing Technique is only usable by him after consuming the Fiery Apricot Dew.

Only Ning Feiliu, who has taken the Fiery Apricot Delicate Fragrance, can be immune to the burning pain caused by the convergence of sunlight.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who were standing next to Ning Feiliu, also noticed this.

After all, the sunlight gathered around Ning Feiliu, as if it were being magnified and focused, condensing into a holy, moon-like radiance.

"Has this kid... figured out something again?" Dugu Bo said with some emotion upon seeing this.

Dugu Yan looked at Ning Feiliu with curiosity and said softly, "Feiliu... he is the real genius."

"Yes, although he lacks innate talent, his comprehension..." Dugu Bo chuckled and exclaimed, "He is indeed a genius that comes along only once in ten thousand years."

While circulating her soul power using the Sunlight Breathing Technique, Ning Feiliu guided the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent's thousand-year soul ring, slowly absorbing it into her body.

Unexpectedly, the entire process of absorbing a spirit ring of a higher level went very smoothly. He didn't even feel any discomfort or pain when the spirit ring's energy exceeded its limit.

No, none at all.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a second pale purple soul ring appeared on the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in front of Ning Feiliu, which housed the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon.

This means that he successfully absorbed a thousand-year spirit ring on his second spirit ring!

"We did it!" Dugu Yan shouted in surprise.

"So fast?" Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised.

After all, Ning Feiliu was absorbing a spirit ring beyond his level, and he was afraid that something unexpected might happen during the process.

Not only did nothing unexpected happen, but the speed at which the spirit ring was absorbed was astonishing!

Ning Feiliu slowly opened his eyes, but at that moment, his expression became particularly strange.

"How was it, Little Fei Liu!" Dugu Yan skipped over to Ning Fei Liu and asked curiously, "How did it feel? What soul skill did you gain?"

However, Ning Feiliu raised her head with a strange expression and said to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, "Sister Yan... Teacher, I might need to acquire another spirit ring..."

"What?!" Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan both stared wide-eyed.

Ning Feiliu chuckled and said, "I said... I still need a spirit ring now, because my spirit power has already reached level 30."

"This..." Dugu Bo could hardly believe his ears. "Are you serious?!"

"Really." Ning Feiliu smiled as she released her soul power aura.

Sure enough, his soul power has now reached level 30!

After absorbing the second spirit ring, his spirit power directly jumped ten levels, reaching level thirty...

This kind of thing is something that even Dugu Bo, let alone Dugu Yan, has never heard of or seen before!

Ning Feiliu was also somewhat surprised. In fact, he had expected that after absorbing the second soul ring at a higher level, his soul power would be at most level 27 or 28.

But unexpectedly, he actually reached level 30 soul power again!

Thinking about it carefully, after Ning Feiliu broke through to level 20 in soul power, he consumed the Qiluo Tulip, a magical herb.

In the original storyline, the Qiluo Tulip could enhance Ning Rongrong's level six soul power during her Soul Master stage; at the Great Soul Master stage, it would only enhance it even more.

When forging the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Martial Soul Set, some of the moonlight absorbed at full capacity was also transformed into soul power through the Moon Essence Breathing Technique.

With the addition of the Sunlight Breathing Technique he had just practiced, his soul power seemed to be increasing even faster, and the soul power feedback from the thousand-year soul ring he absorbed far exceeded that of an ordinary hundred-year soul ring.

All these opportunities combined allowed Ning Feiliu to break through to level 30 in soul power after absorbing her second soul ring!

"Wait! You brat!" Dugu Bo suddenly widened his eyes and said, "You're not even thirteen years old yet, are you?!"

"She's about twelve years and seven months old," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

Although this record will likely be broken soon by my third brother, who lives in Soto, in a few years, but...

Now he is at least a record-breaking genius Soul Master.

It's unbelievable... He was just an ordinary Soul Master at the age of twelve, and in just a few days he has become a genius Soul Master who broke through to the Soul Venerable level at the age of twelve.

If this gets out, it'll shock a lot of people, right?

I won't suppress the character's level in this book, nor will I make it too outrageous. I'll raise the upper limit of the character's potential as much as possible. After briefly mentioning the Soul Master Competition and other events where the protagonist simply crushes his opponents with his superior cultivation, the story will then turn to the Spirit Hall and the forces behind Tang San. Tang San won't be a match for them, but characters like Big Hammer and Bibi Dong will be able to stand up to the protagonist.
