Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 57 Departure from Soto

Time flies, spring comes and winter goes, day after day, three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For more than three years, this continent remained unusually calm.

Xiao Yu knew that he didn't have much time left, so he made the most of it to cultivate his soul power and expand his influence.

Over the past three years, with Xue Qinghe's support and the full cooperation of the Sylvia Kingdom's government in the development of Nine Star Academy, Nine Star Academy has now become one of the top-tier advanced soul master academies on the continent. Because the Sylvia Kingdom does not have its own named soul master academy, Nine Star Academy has almost become the official representative academy of the Sylvia Kingdom.

Meanwhile, the students of the Nine Star Team, led by Xiao Yu, diligently cultivated their soul power and broke through their cultivation levels one after another by utilizing abundant resources.

The current soul power levels of everyone are as follows:

Xiao Yu, a level 61 offensive Soul Emperor. With one yellow, two purple, and three black Soul Rings, Xiao Yu broke through to Soul Emperor in just one month. Besides the modifications to his body from the immortal herbs and pills he had taken, there was another important reason—his Soul Bone.

That's right. After the sect reached a long-term cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the richest sect in the world, the sect made a fortune every day. He used funds from the sect to exchange for diamonds from the system and exchanged them for a 100,000-year soul bone - the Underworld King's Dragon Head Soul Bone.

With the enhancement of this 100,000-year-old soul bone, Xiao Yu achieved the status of Soul Emperor at the age of seventeen, a feat that was extremely rare even in the second era of Dou Di Zhuan.

Eden and Yi Hui have slightly lower soul power than Xiao Yu. Both are geniuses with full innate soul power and currently possess level 56 soul power. They have two yellow, one purple, and two black soul rings and are only seventeen or eighteen years old. They have completely crushed the Golden Generation touted by the Spirit Hall.

Following closely behind was Zilong, a level 53 offensive-type Battle Soul King with two yellow, one purple, and two black Soul Rings.

Rong Dou, a level 49 agility-attack type Soul Master, has two yellow, one purple, and one black Soul Rings.

Cang Mo, a level 49 offensive-type Soul Master, has two yellow, one purple, and one black Soul Rings.

Yuna, a level 48 agility-based Soul Master, has two yellow, one purple, and one black Soul Rings.

Dugu Yan, a level 46 offensive Soul Master, with two yellow and two purple Soul Rings.

Mi Yimei, a level 45 support-type Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and two purple soul rings.

Xie Wu, a level 45 agility-based Soul Master, with two yellow and two purple Soul Rings.

Ye Lingling, a level 43 support-type Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and two purple soul rings.

Huo Wu, a level 42 control-type battle spirit master, with two yellow and two purple spirit rings.

Xiao Yu didn't know what was wrong with the dean of Blazing Fire Academy. He knew perfectly well that his precious daughter was with him, but he hadn't sent anyone to pick her up for several years.

However, because Xiao Yu was always worried that Huo Wu might suddenly run back to the Blazing Fire Team, he only gave Huo Wu a pill of medium quality to improve her physique. He did not prepare a celestial herb-grade pill that was very suitable for her attributes. Otherwise, to be honest, Huo Wu might have already surpassed Dugu Yan and reached the advanced Soul Master level or even challenged the Soul King level.

Io, a level 41 offensive Soul Master, has two yellow and two purple Soul Rings.

Mei Yi, a level 38 agility-attack type Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and one purple Soul Rings.

. . . . . . . . . .

As night fell, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged, finished a cycle of soul power circulation, and exhaled a deep breath.

Just then, Miao's voice rang out from outside the door: "Young Master, that person has already set off for Soto City!"

Miao possesses a soul skill that allows him to summon his butterfly clones, enabling him to conduct remote surveillance.

Xiao Yu immediately used his soul skill to create a clone and go to Notting City to monitor Tang San. After all, Tang Hao was still guarding Tang San's side. He had a soul power level of 95, and even a Title Douluo would be in danger of being discovered by him. However, it was just a butterfly, and Tang Hao wouldn't care even if he saw it.

"Have they already gone to Soto?"

Xiao Yu quickly rolled over and got up, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

Tang San's journey to Soto City officially kicked off the Douluo Continent storyline. The Shrek Seven Devils soon reunited, and the gears of fate began to turn at this moment.

How could Xiao Yu possibly be absent from such an important moment?

Tang San, are you ready to tremble?

However, before setting off, Xiao Yu still had some things to take care of.

Xiao Yu left his courtyard and soon arrived at Ye Lingling's residence, gently knocking on the door.

"They're here!"

Ye Lingling answered from inside, and soon opened the door. Seeing that it was Xiao Yu, she couldn't help but beam with joy: "Brother Xiao Yu, why are you looking for me so late?"

Seeing Ye Lingling's expression, Xiao Yu immediately understood that the little girl was planning to stay up all night and cultivate.

In fact, Xiao Yu understood Ye Lingling's urgency. The cultivation speed of support-type soul masters is inherently slower than that of battle soul masters. Ye Lingling, at less than twenty years old, already possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Master, which would make her a pampered and cherished figure in any sect. However, seeing her teammates break through one after another, especially Xiao Yu who had already broken through to Soul Emperor, Ye Lingling's sense of urgency grew day by day.

Xiao Yu understood Ye Lingling's feelings, smiled slightly, and explained his purpose: "Leng Leng, I'd like to ask you to accompany me on a long trip to retrieve a gift for you. This gift will greatly enhance your cultivation!"

Xiao Yu wasn't joking; he genuinely intended to help Ye Lingling.

Currently, there are only two ways to quickly improve a Soul Master's aptitude: the first is pills. However, Ye Lingling has already taken a pill made from various immortal herbs. As the saying goes, "too much of a good thing can be bad." If she takes more, it will cause the medicinal effects to accumulate too much, preventing her cultivation from progressing any further.

The second type is a soul bone, like the 100,000-year-old head soul bone that Xiao Yu absorbed. If Ye Lingling could absorb a high-quality soul bone, not only would her cultivation level increase rapidly by several levels, but her future cultivation speed would also double. This time, Xiao Yu was eyeing the 100,000-year-old right leg bone left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor is the king of plant-type spirit beasts, and the Nine Heart Begonia is also a plant-type spirit beast, so the compatibility between the two is extremely high.

"good!"

After several years of getting along, Ye Lingling had developed an unconditional trust in Xiao Yu. She was especially overjoyed to hear him mention a treasure that could enhance her cultivation potential: "Brother Xiao Yu, let me pack my things, we'll set off right away!"

She immediately returned to her room, quickly packed a few everyday items into her storage soul tool, then ran out the door, took Xiao Yu's hand, and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Xiao Yu, let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

Before the two had even left the school gate, Huo Wu blocked their way.

Huo Wu stared at the two of them with curiosity: "It's so late at night, aren't you two resting? Are you eloping?"

Upon hearing the words "elopement," Ye Lingling's pretty face immediately turned red. She hid behind Xiao Yu without saying a word, but she also did not refute them.

Xiao Yu glared at Huo Wu, his face hardening as he said, "Don't talk nonsense. Lingling and I went out on important business!"

"It's important business!"

Huo Wu's eyes darted around, scanning Xiao Yu and Ye Lingling, before she suddenly gave a strange smile: "Since it's important business, I'll go with you!"
