Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 106 You Take the Soul Bone, I'll Take the Soul Ring

Gu Rong and Dugu Bo were both Title Douluos. The moment they appeared, their auras locked onto each other, causing them to neglect to observe their surroundings. After all, no one who wasn't a Title Douluo or a high-level Soul Douluo would dare to get involved in a match between Title Douluos.

Ning Rongrong's shout caught their attention. Although they only glanced at her for a moment, as soon as they noticed Xiao Wu, the soul beast aura that Xiao Wu was trying so hard to hide would be exposed.

boom!

Almost instinctively, Gu Rong and Dugu Bo launched their attack simultaneously, lunging towards Xiao Wu.

Gu Rong possessed higher soul power and the ability to traverse space, naturally making him a step ahead of Dugu Bo. In the blink of an eye, his thin yet powerfully strong hand had firmly grasped Xiao Wu, and just in case, he even used his soul power to knock her unconscious.

"Grandpa Bone, what are you doing? Xiao Wu is my friend, put her down!"

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, including Ning Rongrong, who was also confused. Her beautiful face was filled with anxiety as she called out to Gu Rong.

Gu Rong, who always doted on Ning Rongrong, shook his head and said, "Rongrong, do you know that your friend is not human, but a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast?"

A 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast?

Upon hearing this, everyone except Dugu Bo was shocked. All eyes were fixed on Xiao Wu in Gu Rong's hands, filled with shock, fear, and greed!

"A hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast!"

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in surprise, still somewhat incredulous, and said, "Grandpa Bone, you're kidding me, right? Xiao Wu... she's clearly a human!"

"Rongrong, you don't understand!"

Gu Rong sighed inwardly. Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? Ning Rongrong and this transformed soul beast have been together day and night for nearly two years. As they are both women, they must have developed a deep friendship. How could she possibly accept it in a short time?

However, for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future, a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast cannot be let go.

Gu Rong patiently explained to Ning Rongrong, "When a soul beast breaks through 100,000 years of cultivation, it has a chance to transform into human form, because only humans have the potential to reach the peak. When a soul beast transforms into human form, its original form becomes its martial soul, and its original cultivation disappears completely, requiring it to start cultivating from scratch. At this point, in the eyes of most soul masters, the transformed soul beast is no different from a human; only titled Douluo-level powerhouses can detect the soul beast aura still present on its body."

As he spoke, Gu Rong glanced at Dugu Bo, who was not far away, since Dugu Bo was the only other Title Douluo present besides himself.

Dugu Bo nodded. There was no point in faking it. With Ning Fengzhi's shrewdness, even if he said it wasn't true, he would definitely find Sword Douluo to confirm it.

He couldn't help but glare resentfully at the Golden Iron Triangle, who were also filled with shock. If it weren't for the fact that the three of them used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to summon the Holy Light Dragon, which attracted his attention, he wouldn't have noticed the identity of the transformed soul beast that had come with them.

If he had discovered it sooner, he would never have allowed that transformed soul beast to appear in front of Bone Douluo.

With the mutual confirmation of the two titled Douluo, Ning Rongrong finally believed that her good sister, with whom she spent every day, was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. For a moment, Ning Rongrong's pretty face turned deathly pale.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu have a good relationship, but it hasn't reached the point in the original story where they can transcend the boundaries between human and animal species; they haven't experienced enough together.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast represents its cultivation level, not that it has actually lived for 100,000 years. However, Bone Douluo also said that the martial soul of a transformed soul beast is its true form. So it is obvious that Xiao Wu's true form is the Soft Bone Rabbit, which is not a soul beast with a powerful bloodline. It would be impossible for it to cultivate to 100,000 years without at least 60,000 to 70,000 years.

Good heavens, even if Ning Rongrong were a hundred times older, she still wouldn't be a fraction of her age.

And she actually lived and ate with this old rabbit for a long time, sometimes chatting about intimate female conversations and even sleeping in the same bed.

Thinking about this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

Ning Fengzhi, standing beside Ning Rongrong, also had a complex and ever-changing expression. A 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast was good, but it would be a good thing if it fell into the hands of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Looking at Dugu Bo with a cold smile and Yang Wudi who already held the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand, he understood that this benefit was something that his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone could not possibly absorb.

Dugu Bo grinned at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master Ning, a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast is extremely rare. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shouldn't even think about monopolizing it!"

"That's natural!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded. He didn't want to clash with the Nine Star Palace unless absolutely necessary. As long as Dugu Bo's demands were within his acceptable range, everyone would be happy.

"What does Poison Douluo think is the best way to handle this matter today?"

Ning Fengzhi was unwilling to clash with the Nine Star Palace, and Dugu Bo also did not want to break ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After listening to Ning Fengzhi's words, they began to think about it seriously.

"Well then, Sect Master Ning, if my Nine Star Palace's information is correct, your sect's Soul Douluos should be unable to break through to the Title Douluo realm in their lifetime, and I suppose no one will be able to use this 100,000-year Soul Ring."

Dugu Bo slowly said, "But my Nine Star Palace is different. The Soul Douluo juniors in our sect are all exceptionally talented and will break through to the next realm in three to five years. In my opinion, it would be better to raise this transformed soul beast for a few more years until someone in our sect breaks through to the Title Douluo realm before taking her life. Her soul ring can be absorbed by our sect's disciples, and the soul bone can be given to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

The most precious things about a 100,000-year-old soul beast are its soul rings and soul bones, so it's fair and reasonable for both sides to share them equally.

Ning Fengzhi nodded secretly. The Nine Star Palace's information was correct. The potential of those Soul Douluo elders in the sect had long been exhausted. Even if they absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone, it would be of no use.

As for the younger generation, Ning Rongrong is the most outstanding among the disciples. Putting aside the shortcomings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, even if she could break through to the Title Douluo level, it would still be decades later. The time is too long and there are too many variables in between. Therefore, the solution proposed by Dugu Bo is the most suitable choice for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Alright, then let's proceed according to Poison Douluo's plan. The spirit rings are yours, and the spirit bones will be given to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

After agreeing to Dugu Bo's proposal, Ning Fengzhi added, "However, until no one in your sect can absorb a soul ring, this transformed soul beast will be under the care of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
