Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 109 The Target of the Seventh Soul Ring

Yang Wudi left after uttering these last words, without looking back.

Since Titans are determined to stand on Ning Fengzhi's side, they really don't have the resources to keep any more people around.

With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, Titan alone already possessed the strength to fight Dugu Bo, not to mention Gu Rong, whose strength was already superior to theirs.

Dugu Bo understood this principle as well. After scanning the crowd present, he finally settled on Ning Fengzhi. "Sect Leader Ning, the Nine Star Palace will remember today's events for now, and will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

He then waved to the Nine Star Palace disciples around him, saying, "Let's go!"

Watching the Nine Star Palace members retreat, Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly. In the situation just now, he could only choose between Haotian Sect and Nine Star Palace.

The Nine Star Palace felt too mysterious and unpredictable to Ning Fengzhi, and cooperating with them made him feel uncertain. In comparison, the Haotian Sect was more suitable as an ally of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect because he knew them well.

Upon returning, Dugu Bo relayed every detail of what was about to happen back to the Nine Star Palace headquarters.

Xiao Yu had already returned to the Nine Star Palace headquarters with his teammates from the Nine Star Team. This time, in addition to Xiao Yu, the others who followed Qian Renxue to quell the rebellion also gained a lot. Especially after the battle with the Soul Saint of the Star Luo Empire, Cang Mo, Yuna, and Rong Dou, who were originally stuck at the level 49 bottleneck, almost simultaneously touched the Soul King realm.

Because of the Azure Bull Python, Xiao Yu did not plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest for the time being, so he arranged for Xuanwu and Aphrodite, two Soul Douluos, to lead the team for Rong Dou and the other two to hunt for the fifth Soul Ring.

. . . . . . . . . .

After receiving Dugu Bo's letter, Xiao Yu wasn't too concerned about Tang San being rescued by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, the God of Death Thanatos had told him that he had the God of Asura behind him, and that shameless man would directly use his divine power to intervene if Tang San were to face a real crisis of death.

As for Xiao Wu, who was rescued, he felt that this was actually an opportunity. If the Nine Star Palace really chose to forcibly detain Xiao Wu in front of so many people at that time, the news that the Nine Star Palace was imprisoning a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast would spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent the next day. This would attract the covetousness of countless people. Not to mention whether Tang Hao would go crazy, Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall would definitely not be able to hold back.

Now, although Xiao Wu has been rescued by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with his identity exposed, this old rabbit, no matter how reluctant he is to part with his sweetheart Tang San, has only one option left: to leave. The Nine Star Palace has no obligation to keep their secret.

As long as Xiao Wu is separated from the Shrek Seven Devils, he can kidnap her without anyone noticing.

Although the Soft Bone Rabbit isn't a very powerful soul beast, Xiao Yu has already broken through to the Soul Emperor level. If he doesn't consider adding a soul ring to his second martial soul, the Death Scythe, which is formed from the power of the Death God, the next soul ring he absorbs will be at the bottleneck of level 70.

As for the seventh soul ring that leads to the breakthrough to Soul Saint, no matter what kind of soul ring it absorbs, what the soul master will ultimately receive is the Martial Soul True Body. Therefore, there is no need to consider the quality of the soul beast; one only needs to pay attention to the age and cultivation level of the soul ring.

Absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring with a cultivation level of 70 is definitely ten times more dangerous than absorbing a 10,000-year soul ring with the fourth soul ring.

In the original story, Tang San almost exploded from the energy within a 100,000-year-old divinely bestowed spirit ring. Divinely bestowed spirit rings have already had the resentment of spirit beasts removed, making absorption extremely dangerous. This is even more true for original spirit rings that still carry the resentment of spirit beasts before their death. Therefore, for Xiao Yu, the best solution would undoubtedly be sacrifice.

However, the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters is like that of natural enemies, with deep-seated hatred. It is extremely difficult to get a soul beast to willingly sacrifice itself.

Xiao Yu once wondered if he could have Saga use his mental attack soul skill, evolved from the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, to control the soul beast and then manipulate it to sacrifice itself.

But when he asked Saga, Saga explicitly denied his idea.

Saga's Illusionary Demon Emperor mental attack is merely an illusion attack, giving the opponent a psychological suggestion within the illusion. However, the opponent still retains their own way of thinking. In particular, a 100,000-year-old soul beast already possesses extremely strong mental power. Once an instruction such as sacrifice is given, which is clearly illogical, the opponent will immediately become alert.

For soul beasts, sacrificing themselves to humans is a disgrace and makes them an outcast in the soul beast world. At least in the current situation, the only one who might choose to sacrifice themselves in the illusion is the love-struck rogue rabbit Xiao Wu.

In the original novel, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were willing to sacrifice themselves to Tang San because they were already deeply poisoned by Bibi Dong's Death Spider Queen venom and didn't have long to live. Rather than die silently, they decided to help Tang San so he could resurrect Xiao Wu, whom they had cared for for tens of thousands of years, more quickly. As for Tang San's later resurrection of them after becoming a god, that was an unexpected surprise.

Although he didn't care about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Titan rescuing Tang San and Xiao Wu, this incident served as a wake-up call for Xiao Yu, reminding him that he had been somewhat careless in the personnel arrangements for the branch.

They thought that with a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo in charge, plus the deterrent effect of several powerful figures at headquarters, no one would dare to cause trouble for the Nine Star Palace. Unexpectedly, Ning Fengzhi still chose the Clear Sky Sect, which had already become a coward, at this point.

To prevent a similar situation from happening again, Xiao Yu immediately decided to add a few more powerful experts to the branch. In addition to the branch in Tian Dou City, the same applies to the branch in Geng Xin City. The situation in Geng Xin City is even worse than in Tian Dou City. There is not a single Soul Douluo, let alone a Title Douluo.

"System, calculate the current task rewards!"

Xiao Yu focused his mind and sent a command to the system. The system responded and activated: "Ding, the host has seized the right leg soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor and obtained Tang San's opportunity. Reward: one red-level summoning card."

Successfully hunted the Titan Ape, rewarding the host with a Red-level Summoning Card.

Purchase the crystal plate before Tang San, and you will be rewarded with a Black-level Summoning Card.

Teamwork resulted in a victory against the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Soul Saint, earning the host a Black-level Summoning Card.

Defeating the Shrek Seven Devils single-handedly will reward the host with a Black-level Summoning Card.

'

After settling all the mission rewards and exchanging all the low-level yellow and purple summon cards, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and exchanged ten black summon cards for red ones. He now has four red summon cards and five black summon cards.

In addition, because of Xiao Yu's butterfly wings flapping, Qian Renxue decided to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition. Due to the increased difficulty of the Soul Master Competition, the champion's reward has now been upgraded to the gold level.
