The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 209 My Third Brother Won't Let You Get Away With This

The subsequent qualifying rounds were uneventful, perhaps due to Li Xun's demonstrated strength; none of the other thirteen teams dared to challenge him in the following matches.

Faced with repeated defeats, Li Xun was happy to have some free time. Since he was not allowed to leave the hunting grounds, he had to find something else to do.

After giving Ning Rongrong a good scolding, he turned around and went back to his room, where he created five wooden clones to begin cultivating.

This is an old trick. Although these clones are different from his original body, the energy they give him after meditation is equivalent to one-third of the soul power he condenses each time.

His soul power has now reached level 55. If he continues at the current pace, Li Xun feels that he is not far from breaking through to level 56.

But these clones have far more functions than that. Their greatest characteristic is actually their learning ability. After all, although the clones share the same thoughts as them, they are still different individuals. They operate much like a multi-core algorithm.

Li Xun is currently cultivating his main body, while his clone is cultivating illusion techniques and various ninjutsu.

Time flew by, and as expected, the Tiandu Royal team won first place in the competition with a perfect record.

Second place went to the Blazing Fire Team, which combined the elements of Divine Wind and Heavenly Water, while third place went to Thunder Academy.

However, since the qualifying rounds were only for showcasing talent for the Empire and were not an elimination system, the remaining participating teams, even if they failed, still had the qualification to participate in the finals.

In truth, by this point, all the participating teams knew they had no chance of making it into the final round of the Soul Master Competition, but for the sake of the academy and their own future, they had no choice but to continue.

Even if their ranking is low, the fact that they can participate makes them one of the very few geniuses on the continent who can participate in the Soul Master Competition. This resume is very important to most ordinary Soul Masters.

With the Crown Prince's impassioned speech, the qualifying round came to a close. Due to Emperor Xue Ye's serious illness and the fact that only Xue Qinghe remained of the royal family, Ning Fengzhi would represent the Heaven Dou royal family on this trip to Wuhun City.

Of course, Li Xun guessed that this might also be due to the deepening conflict between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.

Ever since Yu Xiaogang was taken away by Chrysanthemum Douluo, this mother and daughter have been constantly at odds, both openly and secretly. Those who don't know the truth might think that the Heaven Dou Empire is about to go to war with the Spirit Hall.

Before heading to Wuhun City for the finals, they had three days to rest. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xun and the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School returned to their sect with great enthusiasm.

"Haha, you're finally back." Dugu Bo sensed their presence and darted out of a room, arriving in front of Li Xun and his group.

"Judging from the way the Poison Master looks, things should be going very smoothly," Ning Fengzhi chuckled.

"It's not just smooth sailing! You have no idea how arrogant that old man has been in front of me these past few days. I should have just left him in the sect so I could have gone and caught that soul beast." Bone Douluo sighed and complained.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast is rare after all. It's normal for Poison Master to be happy for a while now that he has caught one himself." Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

Li Xun was also very happy at this moment: "Grandpa Dugu, where did you lock that soul beast up?"

"I fed that soul beast some medicine; it should still be sleeping now." Dugu Bo turned around and led the group back to the room he had just come out of.

"You have no idea how anxious I've been waiting for you these past few days! I didn't dare lock her up by myself; it's been exhausting watching over her."

"What should we do with her next? We can't keep someone watching her forever, can we? What if she accidentally runs away one day and the drug I gave her takes effect? ​​Wouldn't it be a waste if she died out there?"

Li Xun frowned. This was indeed a problem.

Although a soul beast that reaches 100,000 years can grant a soul master two powerful skills, he never intended to acquire Xiao Wu's soul ring in the first place.

After all, he felt that the skills Xiao Wu contributed were pretty useless. One was Void, and the other was Eight-Stage Throw, which did not fit his fighting style and were far less powerful than the Titan Giant Ape and Titan Snow Demon King.

Only the invincible golden body and teleportation skills of the Soul Bone are somewhat useful.

However, the current situation has forced him to reconsider. It's best to secure these gains as soon as possible.

Li Xun pondered for a moment: "I'll absorb her later. But that means the conditions for Qian Renxue might have to be postponed until the seventh spirit ring."

"Xiao Xun, you've reached level 60?!"

Everyone was startled and looked at Li Xun with surprise. In their memory, Li Xun seemed to have just obtained the fifth ring not long ago.

Li Xun shook his head: "Not yet. I'm level 55 now, but the Blue Silver King's head soul bone gave me an illusion technique that can influence other people's minds with mental power. I'll try to see if I can get that soul beast to sacrifice itself for me later."

"Can your body withstand it? After all, you took a great risk when you absorbed the Blue Silver King last time." Sword Douluo frowned.

At this moment, Dugu Bo also remembered how Li Xun had risked breaking his limbs to dissipate energy: "Xiao Xun, don't push yourself. It hasn't been long since you absorbed the soul ring last time, so your physical condition is definitely not up to par. If it really doesn't work, I'll just watch her for a while longer. There's no need to take the risk."

"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Dugu, actually there are different kinds of sacrifices. This time I want to use illusion magic to make that soul beast achieve a more domineering sacrifice."

"This method of sacrifice involves offering one's own soul to the Soul Master, allowing the Soul Master to perfectly absorb the full power of the 100,000-year Soul Ring," Li Xun explained to everyone.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"There's such a way?" Everyone was speechless.

Li Xun nodded, then pushed open the door and went into the room.

Dugu Bo's medicine was very potent; Xiao Wu was fast asleep in bed at the moment, and even a large group of people entering the room did not wake her.

"Grandpa Dugu, can the medicine you gave me be countered?" Li Xun stepped forward to check and found that although he could counteract it, it would take a lot of time.

"You little rascal, I was actually planning to test you a bit, but it seems you've become lax in your pursuit of medicine as your cultivation has increased!" Dugu Bo laughed and popped a pill into Xiao Wu's mouth.

Li Xun smiled but didn't say anything. After all, this was just his previous persona, and now that things had come to this point, it was fine if it collapsed.

Dugu Bo's antidote took effect quickly, and Xiao Wu woke up slowly in no time. As she gradually saw the situation in the room, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she hurriedly assumed a fighting stance, but found that her legs were still a little weak, so she quickly leaned against the corner of the wall.

"Li Xun? You're the one who kidnapped me? Release me right now, or else..."

Xiao Wu was somewhat frightened and agitated at the moment, but halfway through her sentence, she realized that there was no one who could defeat the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Li Xun laughed: "Otherwise what?"

"..."

"Otherwise... my third brother won't let you off!" Xiao Wu revealed an expression she thought was fierce.

"Tang San can barely protect himself right now, and you still want him to avenge you?"
