Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 306 Tang San's Plan: Choosing a Concubine?

Dugu Yan's attack suddenly became swift and fierce. Her ten jade fingers flew and she had already thrown away dozens of poison needles formed from extreme poison, instantly attacking Tang San.

Tang San swung the Clear Sky Hammer, which had transformed into the Orca Demon Axe due to his fifth soul skill. The sharp axe blocked Dugu Yan's poison needles one by one. Although these poison needles did not hurt him, they reduced his speed again.

Without the flight ability from the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone as in the original work, Tang San's agility was greatly reduced. As long as he couldn't leave the ground, he would have no way to avoid Dugu Yan's poisonous fog.

Finally, the poisonous mist surrounding Dugu Yan's body remained within a diameter of 100 meters, and her poisonous mist was less than five meters away from Tang San.

Once Tang San is affected by the poisonous fog, he will have no chance to resist.

This is the terrifying suppressive power of a powerful poison-attribute soul master; unless the opponent is of the same level, anyone who touches them will surely die.

Although Dugu Yan can only exert the strength of level 63 now, her strength at level 63 was already terrifying. Even a Soul Saint who used the Martial Soul True Body could basically be declared dead after being enveloped by her poisonous mist.

Unless one's own martial soul possesses extremely high poison resistance, they will not survive for long.

Just as Tang San swung his axe to strike the poison needles, Dugu Yan's fourth spirit ring, which was black, lit up.

Fourth Soul Skill: Medusa's Gaze!

As she unleashed her soul skill, two silver-white beams shot from Dugu Yan's blue eyes, instantly locking onto Tang San.

He was already retreating with all his might, and now he not only had to fend off the poisoned needles, but also be wary of Dugu Yan. At this moment, he had no way to avoid it.

However, Tang San was not without a way to deal with it.

The axe in his hand disappeared quickly after deflecting the poison needles, and was replaced by the Blue Silver Emperor in his right hand. At this time, the spirit rings on Tang San's body also changed to two yellow, two purple, two black and one gray, which was his Blue Silver Emperor spirit.

The first yellow spirit ring lit up, and countless Blue Silver Emperors instantly surged into action, forming a massive blue-gold barrier in front of him.

Dugu Yan's fourth soul skill was blocked by the barrier, which was instantly petrified. This discovery made Tang San realize the weakness of Dugu Yan's fourth soul skill.

That means it can only petrify once, and the petrified object is the one that was hit the first time. So as long as he can react in time, Dugu Yan's fourth soul skill will not be able to control him.

After releasing his first soul skill, Tang San's third, fourth, fifth, and sixth soul ring skills were also lit up in turn.

"Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Binding"

Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Cage.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Heavenly Net".

Fifth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Overlord Spear!

The moment Tang San's third, fourth, and sixth spirit rings lit up, countless Blue Silver Emperors gathered in front of him, forming a net-like pattern that rushed towards Dugu Yan.

At the same time, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, formed by his fifth soul skill, also materialized in his right hand, locking onto Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan ignored Tang San's control soul skills because his soul skills had to enter the range of her poisonous mist before they could control her.

Given the terrifying power of Dugu Yan's poison, Tang San's three powerful control skills, combined into a network of control techniques, were completely corroded by her terrifying toxins before they even made contact with her. They had no effect whatsoever, and didn't even affect Dugu Yan's speed.

Seeing this, Tang San was utterly shocked. After all, releasing so many soul skills in an instant would consume a huge amount of soul power, but this huge consumption did not bring him any feedback, and Dugu Yan was not affected at all.

However, considering that Dugu Yan was already a Title Douluo powerhouse, he felt relieved.

Although Dugu Yan only has one martial soul, she has long surpassed him in cultivation level, and her strength is self-evident.

However, Tang San did not give up resisting. Just as Dugu Yan easily dealt with the several Blue Silver Emperor control skills in front of him, Tang San threw the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in his hand towards Dugu Yan.

At the same time, his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was withdrawn, the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand reappeared, and the Soul Rings on his body changed to four purple, two black, and one gray.

The fourth purple soul ring lit up, and he threw the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand like a cannonball, locking onto Dugu Yan.

Fourth Soul Skill: Thousand Army Break!

The combined attack of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and the Clear Sky Hammer has far surpassed the Soul Emperor level and reached the Soul Saint level.

While Tang San's cultivation level might not be as high as Dugu Yan's, he absorbed a total of fourteen spirit rings, including five ten-thousand-year spirit rings and six thousand-year spirit rings. In addition, he also received the ten-thousand-year stone armor bear torso bone from Gu Xuan. Based on these alone, his physical attributes far exceeded his spirit power level and were close to the Title Douluo level.

In addition to the right arm bone produced by the 80,000-year-old soul beast that gave him his seventh soul ring from the Clear Sky Hammer, and the 70,000-year-old left arm bone from the seventh soul ring from the Blue Silver Emperor, plus the spiritual herbs he had previously consumed, Tang San's physical attributes have now reached the level of a Title Douluo.

His eighth spirit ring was fully capable of absorbing 100,000-year spirit beasts, and even his seventh spirit ring with the Clear Sky Hammer was capable of absorbing 100,000-year spirit rings. However, 100,000-year spirit beasts were too rare, and Bibi Dong had led them to search for them on the sea for a month without finding any. In the end, due to time constraints, they chose an 80,000-year sea spirit beast.

If we consider Tang San's strength at his peak, he would already be capable of fighting against ordinary Title Douluos. However, in this assessment, his soul bones and soul skills above the sixth soul ring are prohibited, preventing him from unleashing his full potential.

Thinking about this, Tang San actually felt a bit resentful towards Hu Liena. If it weren't for Hu Liena, and it was just him and Dugu Yan, then he would have been able to deal with Dugu Yan at his peak strength. Even if he couldn't use his soul bone skills, he would have had a better chance of winning with his Haotian True Body.

But now is not the time to think about that, because he has no way to deal with Dugu Yan's poison right now. His three powerful control soul skills from Blue Silver Emperor were the best solution.

With the current strength of his Blue Silver Emperor, even a powerful offensive Soul Master of the same level would need a long time to break free from these three strong controls. But what about Dugu Yan's poison? He was completely corroded in just a few seconds, which proves that they are no longer opponents of the same level.

Even if I try my best to catch up, it won't work.

But Tang San had no intention of giving up so easily. Although he was a genius, becoming a god was his only chance against the current Sun Moon Empire. Only by becoming a god could he pursue the truth, confront Gu Xuan face-to-face, and avenge his parents…

Dugu Yan was unaware of Tang San's thoughts. Despite facing his two powerful offensive skills, Dugu Yan remained unfazed. Her fifth spirit ring, black on her body, had already lit up. With a gentle flick of her right arm, it transformed into a terrifying snake tail, the end of which resembled a dark gold hammer.

Fifth Soul Skill: Titan Poison Whip!

Her fifth soul skill comes from a Titan serpent that is over 40,000 years old. It is a powerful offensive skill that also comes with a deadly poison, completely solving her weakness of not being able to face enemies head-on.

Dugu Yan's snake tail swayed, her speed undiminished, seemingly unconcerned as the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and the Clear Sky Hammer attacked her. When the two weapons came within three meters of her body, she suddenly swung her right arm, and the Titan Poison Whip shattered the Blue Silver Overlord Spear into pieces, while the Clear Sky Hammer was sent flying.

However, Tang San's attack was not so weak. Although the Blue Silver Overlord Spear was shattered by Dugu Yan, its attack did reduce some of Dugu Yan's terrifying strength.

Although the Haotian Hammer that followed was also knocked away by Dugu Yan, it slowed down Dugu Yan's speed due to the terrifying attack power of the Haotian Hammer.

And that is why Tang San continued to flee without looking back, without the slightest hesitation.

During his escape, Tang San retrieved his Clear Sky Hammer spirit and switched to the Blue Silver Emperor spirit. Although this spirit consumed a lot of spirit power, he was already a Soul Saint. Although he could only use level 63 spirit power at this time, his foundation was still at the Soul Saint level, so this spirit was not completely unusable.

Tang San, having created some distance, fled while simultaneously using the Blue Silver Emperor to create various restrictions on the ground. Although he knew these restrictions couldn't control Dugu Yan, it was worth it as long as they could slow her down.

He wasn't just running away aimlessly; he had discovered these strange beasts earlier and then split up with Hu Liena.

He instructed Hu Liena to create a disturbance to gather the beasts together. As a control-type Soul Master, Hu Liena's main ability was charm, which could also be applied to these beasts.

So, Tang San, on a whim, thought of having Hu Liena gather the exotic beasts, which might be useful to them in the future.

At this moment, Tang San's plan was to lure Dugu Yan to a place where strange beasts gathered, and then he and Hu Liena would join forces to use the strange beasts to wear down Dugu Yan, in order to create an opportunity for a counterattack.

…………

Mingdu.

Gu Xuan and Bibi Dong returned to the palace. Gu Xuan took her on a walk around the various gardens and lakes in the palace and shared some of his innermost thoughts with her.

After all, he no longer intended to kill Bibi Dong. If he could change her mindset, perhaps this woman could change in the future.

"You should postpone your divine trials for now. The Rakshasa God's trials involve excessive killing, and with the empire only recently stabilized, I don't want you to cause trouble," Gu Xuan said calmly, throwing a handful of bait into the fishpond.

"Did I have a choice?" Bibi Dong looked at the goldfish scrambling for food in the pond, her expression turning indignant. "Do you want to treat me like these goldfish? Lock me up and let you play with me?"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's mention of flowers, Gu Xuan frowned: "Mother-in-law, your choice of words is inappropriate. You are an elder, and you cannot use this word carelessly."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's indignant expression subsided considerably. She knew that she had used the wrong words in her moment of passion, but the meaning was the same.

"The reason I told you not to rush is because of some considerations. However, if I were to explain some things too clearly, it wouldn't be good for either of us," Gu Xuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong fell silent. Although she didn't know what Gu Xuan's purpose was, she was already under his control. Unless she could break free, nothing she said would make a difference, and she could only be forced to obey his orders.

Gu Xuan looked up at the sky, then got up and left the fishpond, leaving Bibi Dong sitting there alone.

After leaving, Gu Xuan arrived at the Sun and Moon Palace, which was the main hall for holding court and also where Gu Xuan usually worked.

After sitting down on the dragon throne, Gu Xuan waved his hand, and a guard stepped forward: "Your Majesty."

"Summon the head of the Zodiac Hall; I have something to instruct her to do," Gu Xuan said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard answered and was about to leave when he called him back: "Oh, by the way, call Prince Jiubao here as well."

The title of King Nine Treasures is Ning Fengzhi's royal title, and he is also the only king of a different surname in the Sun Moon Empire. This is the right of Gu Xuan Ning Fengzhi, and the title of King Nine Treasures is not hereditary; it belongs only to Ning Fengzhi.

If Ning Fengzhi is gone, then this title of king will be useless.

Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is a national protection sect, the military power of the Sun Moon Empire is unified, and all the power is now in the hands of Gu Xuan. Although the various systems are based on those of the previous Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire, they are also undergoing reform.

During Gu Xuan's reign, he would never relinquish power. Moreover, the newly established nation needed an emperor with an iron fist to consolidate its power.

The guards obeyed and left, while Gu Xuan, as if sensing something, raised his head and looked in the direction of the City of Slaughter.

"Yanzi......"

Dugu Yan has been undergoing the Asura God Trial for two years, and there is still no news of her. No one knows what has happened to her.

A short while later, Ning Fengzhi arrived.

After dismissing everyone in the main hall, Gu Xuan sat on the dragon throne and looked at Ning Fengzhi: "Uncle, in six months I will be touring the continent, teaching the Soul Spirit Technique again in various provinces and counties, and inspiring the passion of Soul Masters and the people."

"I'll leave the details to you."

Ning Fengzhi nodded upon hearing this. Currently, only those from large families and noble families fully understand the Soul Spirit Technique. Most commoner Soul Masters only have a general understanding. In order to thoroughly solidify it, Gu Xuan traveled across the continent, and this time he was going to make a big splash.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements," Ning Fengzhi nodded in reply.

Then Gu Xuan asked with a smile, "Uncle, you've worked so hard these past few days. I'll give you a break after the parade so you can spend some quality time with your aunts. I'm really looking forward to the birth of my three younger siblings."

Hearing Gu Xuan's teasing, Ning Fengzhi not only didn't blush this time, but instead became serious: "Your Majesty, how dare you tease me? The country has been established, yet you have no heir. This is the first thing the ministers do every day when they come to court. If you don't work harder..."

Before Ning Fengzhi could even say yes, Gu Xuan waved his hand helplessly: "Uncle, Lingling and Zhu Qing have all gone to Seagod Island with Rongrong, and Yanzi and Sister Xue'er aren't here either. I can't do this kind of thing by myself."

Ning Fengzhi nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the prosperity of the royal family, there are currently only seven concubines in the harem. It is time to add a few more."

"It just so happens that His Majesty will be conducting a Dharma tour in six months. How about issuing a direct announcement to select consorts on the mainland?"

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Xuan first nodded, then shook his head.

Originally, he had already become one of the greatest emperors in history, and having a harem of three thousand beauties was exactly what Gu Xuan dreamed of. However, he was destined to become a god in the future.

Having several wives shouldn't be a problem in the future. Even if some of them don't succeed in the end, the power of a first-level god can still bring them into the realm of gods.

If you have too many wives now, and the relationship deepens in the future, you won't be able to take them with you when you leave this world.

Since his goal was to become a god, Gu Xuan would not choose to bear so many burdens.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
