Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 80 Sunset Soul Hunter

Yun Ming returned to the Tian Dou Hotel, made arrangements for Oscar, and then went to Yang Wutian's room and knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

Yang Wutian got up and opened the door. He saw that the person who came in was Yun Ming. He invited Yun Ming in and then asked in a normal manner.

"You're back! Did you handle the Poison Douluo matter well?"

Yun Ming entered the room and responded with a smile.

"It's all taken care of! And..."

Yun Ming circulated his soul power, unleashing the fluctuations of a peak Soul Venerable. Yang Wutian was somewhat astonished to sense that Yun Ming's soul power had increased four levels in just a few days, reaching the peak of the Soul Venerable realm. The Yang family were experts in medicine, so they were well aware of the dangers of using drugs to enhance soul power. Yang Wutian didn't think Yun Ming would be so unwise, so what was going on?!

Yang Wutian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Ming'er, what's wrong?"

Yun Ming calmed his soul power and responded to Yang Wutian's words.

"Dugu Bo's reward is some top-grade herbs for strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy!"

As he spoke, he took out a lingzhi mushroom with a lid-like top from a jade box beside him. The lingzhi was entirely purple, with an emerald-green stem and nine leaves. He introduced it to Yang Wutian.

"Fifth Grandfather, this is a Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma, which has the effect of strengthening the body's foundation, replenishing vital energy, and enhancing skills. It will be of great benefit to your health. If you consume it, there is a high probability that it will replenish the vital energy you lost in your early years and help you break through to level eighty!"

Looking at the Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma in front of him, Yang Wutian felt a burning desire, but considering his age and limited achievements in this life, he felt it would be a waste to eat such a good thing, so he reluctantly refused.

"Never mind, Ming'er! Your maternal grandfather is getting old!"

"You or Yi'er should keep this Ganoderma lucidum!"

Seeing Yang Wutian's attempt to shirk responsibility for the clan, Yun Ming tried to persuade him by telling him the truth.

"Fifth Grandfather, within the clan, the only four more qualified than you are myself, Oscar, Yang Yi, and my maternal grandfather. Since I've prepared this for you, how could we not?"

"I myself have eaten three plants that are better than this in the past few days, Oscar ate two, and Yang Yi and my grandfather each have one that is better than this!"

"We've already reached our maximum required potency, this was specially prepared for you."

"So please don't refuse."

Yang Wutian was a stubborn old man. If Yun Ming didn't present the facts and reason with him, he felt that Yang Wutian would definitely not accept it.

Hearing Yun Ming's extravagant persuasion, Yang Wutian was somewhat stunned. In his eyes, this ninth-grade purple ganoderma was already the pinnacle of medicinal herbs, the kind that was priceless and unavailable. Now, Yun Ming was helping Dugu Bo detoxify, and he'd obtained a whole eight top-grade herbs! Was this titled Douluo really that rich?!

Seeing that Yang Wutian was somewhat stunned, Yun Ming continued his sermon.

"Furthermore, if we want the Broken Clan to grow stronger, strong individuals are the most important. Yang Yi and I are still young, and we'll need your protection for a while longer!"

Yang Wutian is now somewhat wavering; what Yun Ming said makes a lot of sense! Young people need time to grow.

Seeing that Yang Wutian was wavering, Yun Ming pressed his advantage.

"Moreover, only when we become strong can we acquire more resources to nurture future generations!"

"This is a cycle of the strong!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wutian had been completely led astray by Yun Ming.

The main point is that this is indeed the case, so Yang Wutian was persuaded. Under Yun Ming's approving gaze, he finished eating the Ganoderma lucidum and began to neutralize the medicinal effects.

After dealing with Yang Wutian, Yun Ming returned to his room and began meditating and cultivating.

Because of the significant increase in Qi and blood, as well as spiritual power, Yun Ming can now meditate all night long. In addition, six of the eight extraordinary meridians have been opened, increasing his soul power cultivation speed per unit time by 50%. With these two factors combined, as long as he maintains his usual high blood and food consumption and takes a short rest every day, Yun Ming's current soul power cultivation speed will be three times that of before.

Although the soul power required for each level up will increase in the future, and Yun Ming cannot reach twelve levels in a year, based on his previous life's cultivation experience, he can still achieve an average level up every two months before becoming a Soul Emperor.

As the night passed, Yun Ming felt he had rediscovered some of the feeling of cultivating in his previous life. However...

That's not enough. In this second life, Yun Ming is determined to surpass his past self! Definitely!!!

Not long after ending his meditation, Yun Ming sensed a powerful and familiar fluctuation of soul power coming from a room not far away.

Yun Ming sensed the presence and understood. He got up, walked out of the room, and went to Yang Wutian's door. After hearing a noise inside, he knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Yun Ming congratulated Yang Wutian, whose face was flushed and who was excited.

"Congratulations to Fifth Grandfather on breaking through the bottleneck!"

Yang Wutian laughed heartily.

"Ming'er, I have to thank you very much!"

Yun Ming looked at Yang Wutian, who was unusually happy, and chuckled but said seriously.

"That's what family is all about, isn't it? Helping each other out!"

Yang Wutian looked at Yun Ming with a gratified expression.

"Yes! That's how family should be!"

Then Yunming made a suggestion.

"Fifth Grandfather, let's go! Let's go soul hunting!"

Yang Wutian nodded. Afterwards, Yun Ming arranged Oscar's two-day recuperation and left him 10,000 gold soul coins before setting off with Yang Wutian for Sunset Forest!

In the heart of Sunset Forest, outside the poisonous barrier of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Valley

Dugu Bo has been rooted in this Sunset Forest for many years, so he must be very clear about the distribution of powerful soul beasts here. It would be best for Yun Ming and the other two to come and ask him for some information first.

Yun Ming used his soul power to transmit a message to Dugu Bo. Upon receiving the message, Dugu Bo stepped out of the poison barrier and saw Yun Ming and Yang Wutian, whose soul power was unstable. He immediately asked...

"Want to hunt souls? Ask me for help?"

Yun Ming responded generously.

"Senior Dugu has keen insight."

"That's right. We'd like to ask you, senior, if there are any spirit beasts in Sunset Forest that are 50,000 to 60,000 years old and suitable for spear-type spirit beasts, and space-type spirit beasts that are around 30,000 years old."

When Dugu Bo heard Yun Ming mention the 30,000-year space system, he thought about the impression Yun Ming had left on him these past few days. He figured Yun Ming probably knew what he was talking about, so he asked Yun Ming with an incredulous expression.

"Kid Yun, are you sure you're not joking with me?!"

Yunming replied confidently.

"certainly."

A divine spear appeared in his hand, and three spirit rings—yellow, purple, and black—emerged beneath his feet. Seeing Yun Ming's extraordinary spirit ring configuration, Dugu Bo was surprisingly calm; he was now somewhat numb with shock at Yun Ming's abilities.

After a moment of silence, Dugu Bo spoke in a deep voice.

"We have both types of soul beasts!"

"Let's go, I'll go with you!"

With that, he led the way eastward toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. There was no need to worry about Dugu Yan's safety. The Sunset Forest had both types of soul beasts that Yun Ming had mentioned, and they were not far from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Moreover, there were no soul beasts around the outer poison barrier that could be passed through, and there were very few people around.

Yun Ming and Yang Wutian followed Dugu Bo to a swamp about ten miles from the center of Sunset Forest.

The place is quiet and dark, and the submerged trees and shrubs still retain their original shapes, adding an eerie and mysterious atmosphere to this desolate land.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

After carefully sensing for a moment, Dugu Bo directly activated his Martial Soul, and all nine Soul Rings appeared one by one. The fifth Soul Ring lit up, and a jade-green Soul Light with a diameter of about ten feet shot from Dugu Bo's palm towards the swamp a hundred meters away from Yun Ming and the others.

"Azure Scale Poisonous Light!"

The poisonous light entered the swamp, striking the hidden soul beast within. Unable to dodge in time, the soul beast was directly hit by Dugu Bo's soul light!

"Hiss~!"

After a mournful hiss, the swamp began to churn. A huge snake, six meters long and as thick as a water bucket, with iron-blue scales and an arrowhead-shaped head, emerged from the swamp. It coiled its body, ready to attack at any moment, and its eyes were fixed on Yun Ming and the other two, especially Dugu Bo. It felt an immense bloodline suppression emanating from Dugu Bo.

The giant snake was severed at the waist and abdomen, and the broken scales and black snake blood that kept oozing out were clearly the work of Dugu Bo.

After Yun Ming got a clear look at the giant snake, he exclaimed in surprise.

"The Iron Arrow Serpent King?"

The Iron Arrow Serpent, named for its hard, bluish-green scales, small size, and arrow-like projectile attack, is a common low-level snake-like spirit beast that typically inhabits dark, damp forests, swamps, or lakeshores. It's rare to find one that has cultivated to the ten-thousand-year level. But the Iron Arrow Serpent before Yun Ming was six meters long, translating to sixty thousand years of cultivation – truly remarkable!

Dugu Bo said with certainty.

"It is indeed the Iron Arrow Serpent King."

Then he asked Yang Wutian.

"How is it? What do you think of this soul beast?"

Yang Wutian respectfully thanked Dugu Bo.

"Excellent! Perfect! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although its bloodline was a bit lacking, its age was good, and it was indeed suitable for a spear-type martial soul, so Yang Wutian thought it was quite good.

After gaining Yang Wutian's approval, Dugu Bo said no more and made his move immediately, as he was eager to see Yun Ming absorb the soul ring.

A vibrant green soul light erupted from Dugu Bo's body, and the oppressive aura of the Azure Scale Serpent King, the King of Ten Thousand Serpents, directly pressed down on the Iron Arrow Serpent King. Sensing the immense pressure emanating from its bloodline, the Iron Arrow Serpent King's body trembled slightly; it seemed it could only unleash six or seven tenths of its full power, a significant disadvantage for the Iron Arrow Serpent King, whose strength was already inferior to Dugu Bo's!

He's timid and submissive when fighting against his peers, but he strikes hard against the weak. Although Dugu Bo hasn't thought that way all these years, his strength only allows him to do what he's capable of!

Dugu Bo continued his movements without stopping, his figure transforming into a streak of emerald green snake, flying towards the Iron Arrow Snake King, seemingly intending to seize it by force.

The Iron Arrow Serpent King's ability to cultivate to this level with a low-level bloodline was certainly not entirely due to luck. It coiled its body further, raising its head, seemingly intending to use its signature move, "Iron Arrow Break," to strike Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo drew ever closer to the Iron Arrow Serpent King, his hands, covered in emerald scales, shimmering with a deadly green light. Just as he was about to strike it, the Iron Arrow Serpent King moved.

With a swift turn of its head, it used "Iron Arrow Break" to narrowly avoid Dugu Bo and sped away from the area. Due to his limited power, Dugu Bo was unable to catch up with it immediately.

The Iron Arrow Serpent King declared, "My entire life has been a precarious journey. If I didn't have some brains, how could I have survived to this day, dealing with those who coveted my spirit rings!"

Dugu Bo was furious that he had been tricked by a beast, but he had rushed too fast and needed some time to slow down and catch up, so he couldn't chase after it.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had failed, Yun Ming, who was standing nearby, also summoned his Heaven-Supporting Divine Spear. With a flash of silver light, he instantly teleported to the front of the Iron Arrow Serpent King, who was fleeing at high speed.

The Iron Arrow Serpent King, seeing that this weak human brat dared to block its way, didn't care at all. It planned to pierce Yun Ming with its sharp snake head and continue its escape.

Seeing that he was about to be hit, Yun Ming dodged with a bridge-like movement, twisted his waist, and the dazzling gold, silver and white Heaven-Supporting Divine Spear directly struck the Iron Arrow Serpent King from the side.

"Sky-Piercing, Royal Power"

Although it only took two seconds to gather power, with Yun Ming's current momentum, the power of this spear technique was not much less than when he gambled with Zhao Wuji earlier.

The Iron Arrow Serpent King was completely stunned by the strike. Blood gushed from its mouth and nose, and the "Iron Arrow Break" technique was interrupted. Upon seeing this, Yang Wutian also unleashed his Soul-Breaking Spear, and his third and fifth soul rings lit up.

"break"

Yang Wutian unleashed his extreme speed, delivering a swift thrust that pierced the Iron Arrow Serpent King's vital spot while it was unable to control its body.

"burst"

With its vital point breached, the Iron Arrow Serpent King was awakened by immense pain. But before it could even struggle, the Soul-Shattering Spear pierced through it, causing its soul power to explode from the inside out, blasting the Iron Arrow Serpent King in two.

The two mangled snake bodies writhed a few times in the swamp before collapsing lifeless. A black spirit ring rose from the front half of the Iron Arrow Serpent King!

Dugu Bo was somewhat embarrassed when he saw that the Iron Arrow Serpent King had already been killed by Yun Ming and Yang Wutian before he could make another move!

Yun Ming didn't ask Dugu Bo about what had just happened, to avoid making him even more embarrassed. Instead, he started asking about the situation of Dugu Bo's soul beast.

"Senior Dugu, what kind of soul beast would be suitable for me?"

When Dugu Bo saw Yun Ming asking about the soul beast, he was even more pleased with this perceptive young man. But thinking of the soul beast, Dugu Bo answered seriously.

"That's one."
