Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 82 Soul Hunting

For Jiang Li, the reason why it took him half a year to break through to level 50 was more because what he wanted to pursue at the moment, besides his own swordsmanship, was to help train the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

Jiang Li didn't have many complaints about this, after all, he remembered Chen Xin telling him that blindly pursuing something often doesn't necessarily lead to a good result.

For Jiang Li, the past six months have been mostly spent experiencing life within the academy.

But right now, Jiang Li has already experienced life at the academy, and he's already making a good impression in the Heaven Dou Royal Team.

He had a different idea, and when he returned home, he told Dugu Bo about it. As expected, Dugu Bo objected.

"What? Xiao Li, you want to travel around the continent alone? No way! Although you've broken through to level 50, even after you get your fifth soul ring, you'll only be a Soul King. And you'll need at least a year to cultivate. You should know what changes might happen during that time. I remember you weren't like this at first."

At this moment, Dugu Bo was expressing his opposition while looking at Jiang Li with a worried gaze.

Seeing Dugu Bo's reaction, Jiang Li's eyes didn't show much surprise. Instead, he slowly began to explain.

"Master, my cultivation level was too shallow before, so I naturally had to focus on cultivation first. But now I have encountered a bottleneck, and I may only be able to find the answer by myself."

"I know you might say, 'Come with me or something,' but that way I won't be able to experience the true nature of this world. I know clearly that if I want to find my own way of the sword, I have no choice but to go on this trip."

As Jiang Li spoke, he quickly added a few more words, because he knew very well.

If he demonstrates his determination to travel, Dugu Bo might consider going with him, given his temperament.

But that kind of travel with bodyguards at all times is not what Jiang Li wants.

Seeing that Jiang Li had already made up his mind and even revealed his plans in advance, Dugu Bo could only sigh helplessly and speak in a conciliatory tone.

"Alright, Xiao Li, I know that with your character, since you've already made your decision so definitively, you must have already considered it carefully. I can agree to let you go, but you must write to me at least once a month to let me know where you are. Otherwise, if something happens to you, your master won't know where to look for you in this vast continent."

Seeing that Dugu Bo had agreed, Jiang Li's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

Seeing Jiang Li's reaction, Dugu Bo spoke up in an annoyed tone.

"Look at you, brat. It's not like you're leaving right away. You haven't even gotten your fifth spirit ring yet, and have you even finished all the preparations before you set off?"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's last words, Jiang Li instantly understood what the latter meant.

That was to explain to Dugu Yan that his family also knew about it, given their close relationship over the past six months.

He and the other person developed some special feelings for each other, but at this critical juncture, he suddenly said that he wanted to leave for a year.

How should he explain this to the other party? Jiang Li was unfortunately having a bit of a headache.

Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh, and then turned and left.

After a night of contemplation, Jiang Li, having no good ideas for the time being, could only decide to follow Dugu Bo to hunt for the fifth spirit ring.

More than three years later, when Jiang Li and Dugu Bo returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask about the type of spirit ring Jiang Li should choose for his fifth spirit ring.

"Xiao Li, what kind and how many types of spirit rings are you considering for your fifth one?"

Jiang Li had already found the answer to this matter six months ago.

After all, he was going to follow the path of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. His first four spirit rings had already replenished his origin, and his martial soul had evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor.

For his next spirit ring, Jiang Li naturally chose an animal-type spirit beast with strong offensive capabilities.

"Regarding my fifth spirit ring, I would prefer to choose one that is associated with a metal-attribute animal spirit beast, because I am following the path of swordsmanship. I hope that my fifth spirit skill can bring about a qualitative change to my Blue Silver Grass. As for the age limit, I would like it to be between 20,000 and 30,000 years."

Dugu Bo didn't seem particularly surprised by Jiang Li's answer.

Before coming here, he had already checked Jiang Li's physical condition and mental strength.

Both of them had already reached the level close to Soul Emperor, so Dugu Bo wasn't too surprised that Jiang Li was aiming for the Soul Emperor level in terms of the number of years he could absorb Soul Rings.

This time, the two did not linger on the outskirts for long. Instead, they traveled all the way to the area where the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were most active before finally stopping.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li summoned his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

The moment Jiang Li's martial soul appeared, countless blue silver grasses around him involuntarily knelt down, radiating waves of submission and joy.

After witnessing this scene, Dugu Bo was somewhat used to it, since it was the same when he brought Jiang Li here to hunt for spirit rings last time.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li sat cross-legged and released his mental energy to use the Blue Silver Grass to search for the most suitable soul beast for himself.

After half an hour, with the continuous reports from several Blue Silver Grasses, Jiang Li's eyes couldn't help but show a series of strange expressions.

Because almost every one of them perfectly met Jiang Li's standards.

Just as Jiang Li was troubled by this, a five-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass brought him some news.

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

In an instant, Jiang Li completely abandoned all the soul beast targets in his mind that he had previously thought were all good, and even those that had troubled him.

All that remained was the news brought by this 500-year-old Blue Silver Grass.

But at the same time, after Jiang Li stood up, he looked at Dugu Bo but couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Xiao Li, I don't like you beating around the bush with me. Just say what you need to say."

Despite this, Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Um, Master, I've taken a fancy to a spirit beast, but I'm a little worried about you right now..."

When Dugu Bo saw that Jiang Li had actually begun to question him, he immediately became dissatisfied. He directly displayed his aura, causing all the surrounding soul beasts to flee in fear, and then looked at Jiang Li and spoke.

"Xiao Li, do you have some misjudgment of my strength? How could I, a titled Douluo, not be able to hunt down a soul beast needed for your fifth soul ring? What? You want to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring for your fifth soul ring?"

The reason he said this was because, since Dugu Bo consumed the immortal herb, not only had his martial soul evolved, but his cultivation speed had also increased by almost twice as fast as before.

In the past three years, Dugu Bo has not long since broken through to level 95, and is now only one step away from level 96.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was full of confidence and couldn't wait to find someone to fight after breaking through to level 96. Seeing that Jiang Li was actually questioning him, he was naturally very dissatisfied.

Jiang Li was aware of all this, and finally, under Dugu Bo's somewhat unfriendly gaze, Jiang Li slowly uttered the name of the soul beast.

"Master, the soul beast I've set my sights on is a 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

When Dugu Bo first heard that it was a 30,000-year-old soul beast, his brows furrowed. He didn't know if he had been crippled or what, but Jiang Li actually thought that he couldn't handle a 30,000-year-old soul beast.

However, remembering his previous experience, he suppressed his emotions until Jiang Li finished saying the name, at which point Dugu Bo froze on the spot.
