Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 232 The Fourth 100,000-Year-Old Soul Bone

"Don't let your guard down, this is the final stage, let's not let all our previous efforts go to waste at this last moment!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "According to normal logic, the strength of the gatekeepers at each level will increase gradually. And since this is the last level, the strength of this opponent will probably be much stronger than the opponents we have encountered before. Before that, let's make final adjustments and breakthroughs in these three circles."

Qian Renxue nodded in agreement: "The griffin I just fought was no weaker than a Title Douluo with a level 95 soul power. It was only because my Six-Winged Angel was too effective against it in terms of attributes that I was able to kill it with one blow. If it had been any attribute other than Dark Death, I would not have been able to win so easily!"

I estimate that the opponent in this final stage is likely just as strong as Sword Douluo and Tang Hao. Be extremely careful, especially you.

Qian Renxue fixed her gaze on Huo Wu and said, "Don't rush forward like a brute. Although your current strength is indeed among the top of the younger generation in the outside world, even Hu Liena, that woman's carefully cultivated disciple, is not as good as you, the monsters and undead creatures here are all comparable to veteran titled Douluo powerhouses."

"Don't even think about looking at me. You're not the only one improving your strength in the Underworld. If you're so capable, let's have another match!"

Huo Wu gave a light snort. Although she hadn't been able to fight the strongest gatekeeper boss in the previous battles, the gatekeeper bosses in several hellish levels had many powerful subordinates, and she had also accumulated a wealth of combat experience. Especially after being burned by the fires of the Fifth Hell, the purity of her flames had greatly increased, almost reaching the ultimate fire. Although her soul power was only level 76, the attack power she unleashed at full strength was already comparable to that of a titled Douluo who was just over level 90.

"Alright, come on!"

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow: "You don't think that because I haven't absorbed my eighth spirit ring yet, and we both have seven spirit rings, you have a chance to beat me, do you?"

Huo Wu was taken aback; that was indeed what she thought.

Although she witnessed Qian Renxue kill the Netherworld Griffin with a single sword strike, she had no idea how powerful the Netherworld Griffin truly was without direct contact with it.

Qian Renxue does indeed possess combat power far exceeding that of others of the same level, but she also has the secret technique of fusion rings. The attack power unleashed by the fusion of the energy of seven soul rings may not necessarily be inferior to that of Qian Renxue.

"Alright, you two, stop putting on this show several times a day!"

Xiao Yu sighed helplessly. Huo Wu had indeed become much more arrogant since experiencing the burning of hellfire. If it weren't for him stopping her, she probably would have really dared to fight Qian Renxue.

"Although Xue'er's words were a bit harsh, her intention was to make you more vigilant and pay attention to safety, and it was out of good intentions."

Xiao Yu grabbed Huo Wu's arm and said helplessly, "Besides, you really can't beat her. Even if you use the Fusion Ring Secret Technique, she doesn't need to use the amplification of her right arm soul bone to break your attack."

Huo Wu looked at Xiao Yu with some suspicion, seemingly still not believing him: "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Xiao Yu gave a wry smile: "When have I ever lied to you!"

"Yeah, Sister Huowu, don't you trust Brother Xiao Yu's character?"

Seeing this, Ye Lingling stepped forward, took Huo Wu's arm, and said, "Let's hurry up and cultivate. Getting out of here as soon as possible is the right thing to do. It's so boring here, don't you want to get out sooner?"

"Yes, yes, yes!!!"

Of the four, Huo Wu has the most outgoing personality, and she is also the one who most wants to go out.

With Ye Lingling's coaxing and persuasion, she stopped her confrontational standoff with Qian Renxue, and the two chose a spot with abundant spiritual energy to begin their cultivation.

With Ye Lingling's help, Xiao Yu persuaded one woman, then turned to the other and sighed, "Although Huo Wu is a bit impulsive, she's not a bad person at heart. Don't take it too hard on her!"

"Of course I know."

Qian Renxue glanced at Xiao Yu indifferently, a playful smile appearing on her lips: "Who told you to be such a womanizer? Now you know the pain of being caught between several women, right? I'm warning you, this is only because that brat Huo Wu and you were together before I was. If you dare to find other women in the future, you'd better be able to bear the consequences."

"Well"

Xiao Yu was momentarily embarrassed. Good heavens, it turned out that the root of Qian Renxue's repeated clashes with Huo Wu was actually with him. The reason she didn't target Ye Lingling was probably because of her good personality, and Qian Renxue couldn't find a suitable excuse.

"Don't worry, the three of you are enough. Why would I go out and look for someone else?"

Xiao Yu replied with a forced smile, "Besides, you know who our real enemy is. With such a formidable foe, how could I possibly have the mind to go out and hunt for women?"

"That would be for the best!"

Qian Renxue snorted and said, "I'm going to cultivate too."

After making a few leaps, he found a suitable spot and began his training.

Xiao Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Dealing with conflicts in the harem was even more terrifying than cultivation, and that was only because Ye Lingling, his thoughtful little helper, acted as a mediator. Otherwise, he didn't know how many brain cells he would have lost.

He exhaled softly and released the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, enveloping the three women who had already begun their cultivation.

Xiao Yu also sat down cross-legged, but instead of immediately entering a cultivation state, he opened the system shop.

This was an unexpected bonus. The inner cores produced by the Netherworld monsters that Xiao Yu and his group had defeated could not only be absorbed as soul rings, but could also be exchanged for diamonds in the system shop.

Within the four circles of the eight great prisons, besides the powerful gatekeeper bosses, there are also many subordinate demon beasts that obey their commands. The inner cores produced by those demon beasts whose strength is only enough to become soul beasts that break through ten thousand years or even a thousand or a hundred years are completely unnecessary to absorb, and Xiao Yu sent them all to the system shop to exchange for diamonds.

After three years of accumulation, Xiao Yu had amassed a considerable fortune in diamonds, and this time he chose to exchange them for the left leg soul bone.

With a "ding-dong" sound, tens of thousands of diamonds were successfully paid, and a bone emitting a dark luster slowly floated into the air.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yu immediately mobilized his soul power to guide the left leg bone towards his thigh. As soon as the soul bone touched his left leg, it transformed into countless dark streams of energy that entered Xiao Yu's body.

The clear, flowing air circulated through Xiao Yu's meridians, making him feel extremely refreshed, as if all the pores on his body had opened up, and he quickly entered a meditative state.
