Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 64 The Butterfly Effect

Tang Hao left with endless resentment.

Xiao Yu wasn't in a hurry to go to Holy Soul Village to find the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone. Firstly, Tang Hao's injuries from the battle with Shura would probably take ten to fifteen days to heal. Before leaving, given his personality, he would definitely go back to Holy Soul Village to see his wife again. It wouldn't be too late for Xiao Yu to make his move after he had seen his wife.

Secondly, if Xiao Yu remembers correctly, after the Rose Hotel comes Shrek Academy's enrollment, the Seven Devils gather, and then Oscar breaks through to level 30 in soul power and the Seven Devils set off for the Star Dou Great Forest. There are many things to do in between, but it will only take a few days. And this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest will give Tang San a great help in his life - the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances!

How could Xiao Yu possibly let Tang San obtain such an important cheat so easily?

Just as Xiao Yu was thinking of an excuse to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, news came from the sect: Hui Huo, after years of hard work, had finally broken through the bottleneck of the Title Douluo.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, a pillow appeared. Xiao Yu immediately sent a message back to his sect, instructing Hui Huo to go directly to the Star Dou Great Forest to meet him.

As for Huihuo's ninth spirit ring, Xiao Yu had already thought about it several years ago. Huihuo's combat focuses on offense and explosive power. His spirit, the Bennu Bird, has amazing destructive power from its black flames. Even several titled Douluo are unwilling to confront it head-on. The spirit beast most suitable for his ninth spirit ring must also have strong destructive power and explosive power.

So, are you right? Titan Ape!

Because Shura was also injured in the battle with Tang Hao, Xiao Yu arranged for Rhadamanthus to accompany Huihuo in order to have a high chance of killing the Titan Giant Ape.

Leaving Shura to recuperate in Soto City, Xiao Yu didn't go to Shrek Academy in the suburbs to cause trouble in the academy's admissions. Instead, he headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest. Hui Huo had accompanied Xiao Yu to the Star Dou Great Forest several times before to hunt for spirit rings, and they had always stayed at the same inn. This time, he decided to meet up there as well.

Xiao Yu had considered poaching members from the Shrek Seven Devils, but after careful consideration, he gave up on the idea.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, the eldest, Dai Mubai, is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. No matter what, a prince would never side with Xiao Yu. Moreover, given his character of abandoning his fiancée and fleeing alone while indulging in debauchery in Soto City, he's a pass!

Oscar, the second oldest, is the one Xiao Yu most wants to recruit among the Shrek Seven Devils. He is a food-type soul master with innate full soul power. It is impossible to say that there will be no one like him in the future on the Douluo Continent, but he is certainly unprecedented. His rarity is no less than that of Tang San, who has twin martial souls.

Although Oscar is Ning Rongrong's devoted admirer, he is an extremely clear-headed one. In the original novel, after discovering Ning Rongrong's eccentric personality, he quickly cut ties with her. If Ning Rongrong hadn't taken the initiative to change and integrate into the Seven Devils group later, he probably would have given up on her without hesitation.

After the Soul Master Competition, in order to gain powerful attack power so that he could marry the woman he loved, he embarked on a dangerous path without hesitation, and in the past five years, he has been in life-or-death situations countless times.

Although Tang San endured many hardships during those five years, even the most dangerous Slaughter City was merely a relatively difficult trial for him. Xiao Yu even dared to guarantee with his own life that if Tang San were ever in mortal danger, Tang Hao would disregard the rules of Slaughter City and come to his rescue.

On the other hand, Oscar had no powerful backing and no offensive capabilities other than the hidden weapons given to him by Tang San. During those five years, he probably lost count of how many times he was on the verge of life and death.

Unfortunately, Oscar's first appearance in the original work was at Shrek Academy. Looking at the whole plot, it's not hard to guess that he should be an orphan. In his heart, he probably already considers Shrek Academy as his home, and it's very difficult to pry him away.

The third one, Tang Shenwang, is out. The reason is obvious to everyone.

Although Ma Hongjun lost his virginity early on and became a regular at brothels, he was still affected by the evil fire. After resolving his martial soul issue, he was devoted to his lover Bai Chenxiang. His character was not as good as Oscar's, but it was better than Dai Mubai's.

However, like Oscar, Ma Hongjun's first appearance was at Shrek Academy. Moreover, according to the original work, he was taken in and raised by Flander since childhood and is Flander's personal disciple. His feelings for Shrek are probably even deeper than Oscar's, so his chances of poaching him are even slimmer than Oscar's. Pass.

Xiao Wu, a human-shaped accessory, the scabbard of the Asura Demon Sword, obeys only her third brother's orders, pass.

Ning Rongrong, the young sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, is someone Xiao Yu keeps at a distance despite the close cooperation between the Nine Star Palace and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over the past few years. Befriending the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School so rashly might lead Ning Fengzhi to suspect that Xiao Yu is trying to undermine his successor and ultimately annex the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. While Xiao Yu did indeed have this idea, he abandoned it because Ning Fengzhi was too shrewd. Therefore, Xiao Yu adopts a policy of letting Ning Rongrong roam freely without interference.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, the kitten, her status is actually similar to Xiao Wu's. Due to her family background, she can only be Dai Mubai's accessory. Even if Xiao Yu wanted to help her, he would have to consider the Star Luo Empire. If a prince's consort were to be abducted, what would become of the Star Luo Empire's reputation?

Never underestimate the million-strong armies of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. If it weren't for their sheer size, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't be supporting the Heaven Dou Empire, but controlling it, and the Spirit Hall wouldn't have sent a Saintess to carry out the infiltration plan. If the Heaven Dou Empire, with its corrupt ruling class, is still so feared, how much more so the Star Luo Empire, a nation built on military might?

None of the Seven Devils can be recruited, so there's no point in Xiao Yu going to Shrek Academy. Is he just going to cause trouble and annoy Flander and Tang Shenwang?

. . . . . . . . . .

Just as Xiao Yu was heading to the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest to meet up with Hui Huo, at Shrek Academy, just like in the original story, Zhao Wuji, who was originally the proctor, couldn't resist the urge to personally test Tang San and the other three.

Slightly different from the original work, Ning Rongrong is not a level 26 Great Soul Master, but a level 31 Soul Venerable.

This was, of course, a butterfly effect brought about by Xiao Yu. After witnessing Xiao Yu's extraordinary talent, Ning Fengzhi felt a sense of urgency and inevitably became stricter with Ning Rongrong, the sect's only prodigy.

In addition, as a high-level VIP partner of the Nine Star Palace, Ning Fengzhi spent a lot of money to purchase a medium-to-high quality pill for Ning Rongrong from the Nine Star Palace, which improved Ning Rongrong's physique, allowing her to break through to the next realm at the age of twelve and leave Tang Shenwang behind.
