Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 33 Level 20 Returns to the Star Dou Great Forest

Lan Xue's advancement to the Title Douluo level shocked the world, but even the biggest news eventually fades away.

With Blue Snow's deterrent effect, the Kingdom of Gulei will have much more say in the future.

In fact, Lan Xue's strength is somewhat awkward. Among titled Douluo of the same level, she is not bad, but she is not top-tier either. She should be in the middle position.

Because she had problems developing her martial soul, it's not that she was wrong, but rather that she went astray.

When developing the Xuanbing Halberd, most of her spirit rings were simply high-attack spirit rings. Regardless of the attribute, as long as it met two conditions, it didn't conflict with the ice attribute and it had high attack power, she would take it. However, this made her neglect her own ultimate ice, which resulted in her ultimate attribute not only not being developed, but also being affected and filtered by other attributes, preventing her from exerting its ultimate power and losing the ability to restrain ordinary attributes.

Even studying at Tianshui University did not change this phenomenon in the slightest.

Firstly, when it comes to high-attack weapon spirits with additional attributes, most people think of further enhancing attack power and becoming something like the Seven Kill Sword. As for the additional attributes, many people consider them merely embellishments.

But no one seems to think that sometimes, those embellishments are the essence.

Secondly, the best ice-attribute spirit beasts are concentrated in the far north, which is too far away and the living environment is too harsh. There is no need to go there. Both Lan Xue herself and the academy teachers believe that for halberd-type spirit beasts, attribute power is not that important. As long as the focus is on improving attack power, the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are sufficient.

Her originally incredibly powerful attributes have been basically wasted, but this is not her fault, nor is it the fault of the academy teachers. It can only be said to be the limitation of this era. In this era, no one realized the power of ultimate attributes.

If Lan Xue had developed towards the ultimate ice from the beginning, not only would the attack power of the Xuanbing Halberd not be weak, but its powerful ability to freeze everything would definitely be her trump card to fight beyond her level.

Unfortunately, it's too late now. Even if she chose a powerful ice-attribute spirit ring for her ninth spirit ring on Nan Feihuang's advice, the waste of so many spirit rings before can't be made up for. Unless one day she can obtain an extremely powerful ice-attribute full-body spirit bone, there might still be hope to make the ultimate ice shine.

Lan Xue is currently just a very mediocre Title Douluo. Her strength is stable, and she is not easily defeated by those of lower rank, but she is also unable to challenge experts with stronger cultivation levels than her.

As the title conferment ceremony ended, the congratulatory guests from various forces dispersed one by one, and life returned to normal. Nan Feihuang and his team continued their daily cultivation.

His third sister, Nan Feiling, has also reached level ten and successfully acquired a soul ring.

However, she did not obtain any spirit rings with a time limit exceeding three hundred years. Instead, she simply had a spirit ring with a time limit of over three hundred years, which is close to four hundred years. It is estimated that she was about thirty years younger than Tang San in the original story, which is already quite good.

The acquired soul skill is the Rock Wall Formation, which can trap opponents and is a control-type soul skill.

Following Nan Feihuang's advice, she decided to pursue the path of controlling and supporting Soul Masters.

Nan Feiling's talent is not much worse than Zhu Zhuqing, one of the Shrek Seven Devils. Both of them have innate soul power at the seventh level. However, Nan Feihuang guessed that Zhu Zhuqing was probably at the peak of the seventh level and was about to reach the eighth level. With her hard work in cultivation, she was able to reach the high level of twenty-seven at the age of twelve.

Nan Feiling was slightly inferior, at the mid-stage of level seven. Because she didn't have much pressure and her cultivation was not as diligent as others, Nan Feihuang would be very satisfied if she could reach level twenty-five by the age of twelve.

If she can lay a solid foundation in her youth, and with Nan Feihuang giving her a celestial herb in the future, becoming a Title Douluo should be no problem at all. Whether she can obtain the opportunity to become a god depends on herself.

After all, she is his own sister and has been very good to him. Nan Feihuang will not forget her. If he has any good opportunities, he will definitely share them with her.

Another year and a half passed, and within two months of Nan Feihuang's eighth birthday, he successfully broke through to level 20.

An eight-year-old reaching level twenty—this almost broke the continental record, leaving Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue both shocked and thrilled.

But Nan Feihuang knew that although his cultivation speed was fast, there was still a gap compared to Qian Renxue, who was at the 20th level of the Innate Realm. He had to obtain immortal herbs to truly become the number one on the continent.

Moreover, he also needs to break through level 30 as soon as possible and switch to cultivating the techniques in the Heavenly Book of Escape Techniques.

Therefore, for more than a year, apart from devoting some of his energy to researching the art of detoxification and medicine making, he has not practiced any martial arts skills.

Even with the Eighteen Single-Handed Thrusting Technique, it's just a matter of reviewing it once every morning and evening to maintain proficiency in this set of moves, laying a solid foundation for learning more powerful halberd techniques in the future.

The rest of the time, he focused on cultivating his soul power.

Hard work combined with talent led to the rapid increase in Nan Feihuang's soul power.

As for the others, Dian Wei is level 19, Lü Lingqi and Xun Yu are level 18, and Nan Feiling is only level 14. They will need some time to acquire their second soul ring.

Therefore, Nan Feihuang did not wait for them this time. In order to gain time for her son's cultivation, Lan Xue took him to the Star Dou Great Forest on the very day he broke through.

Although it is said that one can cultivate regardless of whether one has a spirit ring or not.

However, there are still differences in the progress of cultivation.

For example, the soul power that a Title Douluo accumulates in one day of cultivation might take a Soul Douluo several days to accumulate. As the cultivation level increases, the cultivation speed will naturally increase.

The cultivation speed of a Great Soul Master is also faster than that of a Soul Master. However, the higher the level, the more Soul Power is required to advance each level, and the greater the required Soul Power is, even to the extent that the increase in cultivation speed is far greater. This is why it is more difficult to advance as you progress.

But that's precisely why the sooner you reach a bottleneck, the sooner you should break through it.

Unlike other fantasy worlds, Douluo Continent doesn't allow for the accumulation of power at a certain level, where one can eventually achieve great things.

This world is very simple and straightforward. If you can advance, do so as soon as possible. Don't play those messy games. Strong soul power is the key.

When high-level Soul Masters face low-level Soul Masters, sometimes they don't even need to make a move; they can simply suppress them with their Soul Power and render them unable to move.

This time, Lan Xue didn't take Nan Feihuang to the Soul Hunting Forest anymore. As Nan Feihuang grew older, she, as his mother, became more and more aware of her son's extraordinary nature.

His physique is gradually widening the gap with his peers. He has a very special physique. At level 20, he is no less than a level 30 Soul Master, and may even be better. He is simply born to fight and a natural warrior.

Given his physique and the fact that he has consumed whale glue, it would be a waste to use the conventional soul ring configuration for his son. Even knowing that the best tree stands out from the crowd, Lan Xue still wants to use the best to raise her son.

Isn't she still here? Why did she work so hard to cultivate to the level of Title Douluo?

For the people? For the kingdom?

She wasn't that noble; she only had two purposes: secondly, to help her husband, and primarily, to protect her son as he grew up.

Therefore, confident that Nan Feihuang's second ring could withstand the thousand-year soul ring, she brought him to the area where the thousand-year soul beast was located without hesitation.

However, most of them were relatively ordinary soul beasts, either lacking sufficient attack power to be suitable as soul rings for the Fangtian Halberd, or having excessively strong attack power and being abnormally violent, which made Lan Xue uneasy.

After all, she was prepared to let her son absorb a thousand-year spirit ring, which was beyond his level. Although she was confident that her son could withstand it, an overly violent spirit ring still posed a certain danger.

In addition, Nan Feihuang said that he hopes his second soul skill will have some control to enhance his combat versatility.

These spirit beasts are clearly unsuitable.

Not long after the two entered the Star Dou Great Forest, in the deepest part, near the Lake of Life, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened, staring intently in the direction where Nan Feihuang and Lan Xue were.

Immediately afterwards, a hissing sound rang out.

Beside the Lake of Life, the Titan Ape, known as the King of the Forest, and the Azure Bull Python, the Emperor of the Forest, were immediately terrified and lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to move.

Deep within the Lake of Life, in another dimension.

The man in the black robe, with black hair and golden eyes, opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "It's that guy. He suddenly appeared eight years ago, and his cultivation was so powerful that even I couldn't do anything to him. But he usually stays in the cave and doesn't come out. Why is he suddenly releasing such a powerful aura today?"

"Perhaps he's in a bad mood, Di Tian. That soul beast is too special. Even our master doesn't know where it came from. But we are of the same kind after all. It usually keeps to itself and doesn't bother us. As long as it doesn't cause trouble, unless there are special circumstances, we'd better not provoke it." A beautiful woman in blue clothes advised Di Tian.

She is none other than Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan, one of the wives of Emperor Tian and known as the strongest healing soul beast on the continent.

Di Tian nodded. "Alright, it seems to have calmed down. Let's not meddle in its affairs."

After saying that, it closed its eyes again and began to cultivate, absorbing the primordial power of a large, snow-white worm in front of it.

The soul beast in the cave had indeed calmed down. It had been so excited that it almost rushed out, but it seemed to be worried about something and quickly suppressed its excitement, closing its eyes again.
