Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Although Ma Hongjun has good fortune, even if he evolves those three external soul bones and soul rings to their ultimate potential, it will only take a million years. In the face of sword power, a soul skill that takes a million years to evolve is nothing special.

Not to mention that a million-year-old soul ring or soul bone is not so easy to evolve; being able to evolve to a hundred thousand years is already a blessing.

"Xiao Ao, how are you recovering?"

After calming herself down, Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar and decided to set off as soon as possible to find Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San.

"My whole body is still in a lot of pain, especially my internal organs. I can't stand the bumps from traveling, but making sausages is no problem."

Oscar gave a wry smile when the topic came up, pointing to the flying mushroom sausages in his pocket.

He had only made the Rejuvenating Sausage and the Flying Mushroom Sausage before, because he had a premonition that he would be traveling soon.

His injuries haven't healed yet, and some of them can't even be healed by the Great Sausage skill. After all, it's just a hundred-year-old soul skill with limited effects, so we can't expect too much.

Fortunately, I still have the Flying Mushroom Sausage that allows me to fly, which reduces the bumps and jolting during my journey.

"Brother Dai, should we split up now, or go together to chase after Zhu Qing and Third Brother?"

Ning Rongrong made her judgment, but did not make a decision on her own. Instead, she looked at Dai Mubai, after all, he was the captain and she should give him a chance to perform, so as to promote team unity.

"The Sunset Forest is too dangerous. We shouldn't split up. Let's go after them first."

Moreover, the path taken by that 100,000-year-old soul beast will surely deter other soul beasts, so there should be no danger in the short term.

Xiao Ao, you use the rope to carry the Dean and fly at low altitude. Rongrong, with your Zixia Soul Power enhancing your senses, lead the way. Teacher Jiu'er, follow below and observe the rear. Fatty and I will protect the flanks. Let's set off as quickly as possible.

After seeing Oscar's pale face and then looking at Flander who was still unconscious, Dai Mubai finally decided to set off together.

Without any objection, the group made some preparations and set off quickly.

Ning Rongrong then leaped up into the tree, following the trail left by Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing had deliberately left scratch marks on every tree she stopped on, so that Ning Rongrong and the others could track her down more easily.

Following the scratch marks, Ning Rongrong leaped and moved swiftly through the forest like an agility-type Soul Master.

Oscar followed closely behind with the unconscious Flander. Fortunately, the flying mushroom sausage had a load capacity of 500 pounds, enough to carry the two of them.

The only problem is that each flying mushroom sausage only lasts for one minute, so you have to take them continuously.

However, although the flying mushroom sausage created by Oscar at his current soul power level did not improve the effect, the consumption was greatly reduced, and with the soul power he had accumulated before, it was enough to last.

Leaving aside the group chasing after them, Xiao Wu, after scolding Er Ming, took the opportunity to condense her fourth spirit ring.

Unlike Soul Masters who refine Soul Rings, Transformed Soul Beasts' Soul Rings are all self-generated. At least until their original essence is exhausted, they do not need to hunt for Soul Rings.

Since it is a self-generated spirit ring without any modifications by anyone, the spirit ring's limit will depend on physical and mental strength.

As a beast martial soul and a transformed soul beast, its physical attributes are naturally beyond question. The only limitation it can impose is its mental power, specifically its mental power in human form.

Xiao Wu is at a disadvantage in this regard, or rather, she brought it upon herself.

Xiao Wu is very lazy. Although she took human form and left the Star Dou Great Forest to enter the human world with the belief of revenge, her belief is not firm. After taking human form, she never actively meditates or cultivates, but just plays around.

They even fell in love, having long forgotten why they left the Star Dou Great Forest. They relied entirely on Tang San's soul power to stimulate their own power and thus increase their soul power.

Without actively meditating and cultivating, it is impossible to improve one's mental strength. Nor can one refine other soul beast soul rings, which also does not improve one's mental strength. Therefore, one cannot enjoy the benefits of the divine realm's mental power.

Relying solely on increasing one's soul power level to release one's spiritual power is the normal standard, so the fourth soul ring is still the so-called optimal configuration of purple.

Seeing the purple soul ring condensing on Xiao Wu's body, Er Ming, who was guarding her, felt worried. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a storage soul tool from under his tongue and then took out a piece of golden soul bone.

The moment the golden soul bone was taken out, Xiao Wu sensed something. She opened her eyes and stared intently at the soul bone. Finally, as if she had confirmed something, tears welled up in her eyes.

"father!"

That was my father's scent; he really was murdered.

"Erming, Third Brother must be very worried. I can't stay with you for long. I'll come to see you when I have the chance. Don't rush out like this again next time, or Third Brother will worry."

After putting away the soul bone, Xiao Wu wiped away her tears, touched Er Ming's big head that was sticking out to her, and then leaped back.

At the same time, Tang San encountered danger, being targeted by a 20,000-year-old cave spider, or more accurately, having intruded into the territory of a cave spider.

"How could it be a cave spider!"

Having narrowly escaped the spiderweb that had transformed into a cage once again, Tang San's face darkened, and his anxiety grew even stronger.

He had been chasing at full speed, even using the Eight Spider Lances to assist in jumping, which greatly increased his speed.

So he kept a close eye on the Titan Ape, but accidentally wandered into the territory of a Cave Spider. The area around him was covered in spider webs, and he couldn't get out at all.

According to the teacher, the Cave Demon Spider is a top-tier spider-type soul beast, just like the Human-Faced Demon Spider, but it follows a different path.

The human-faced spider is known for its powerful attacks and deadly venom; its webs only serve an auxiliary purpose.

However, the Cave Spider primarily uses its web, much like a human control-type Soul Master. It is extremely difficult to deal with and can counter all other Soul Master factions. The only one it can counter is the fire-attribute Soul Master.

Now he is trapped in the other party's territory, unable to get out, and has to endure many traps set by the cave spiders with their webs.

The most deadly thing is that the Cave Spider's innate skill, Spider Web Cage, hides the spider silk on the ground. When activated, it has no warning or energy fluctuations. Even if I cultivate the Purple Demon Eye to the peak of the Mustard Seed Realm, I still cannot see through it.

Of course, Zhu Zhuqing, who was following closely behind, was also trapped.

However, compared to Tang San, as an agility-based attacker, she found it much easier to dodge those spider webs, especially with the addition of the Purple Cloud Step and the Heavenly Demon Eight Steps.

Although he was still a bit disheveled, at least he wasn't caught in the net.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, ignoring Tang San beside her, her entire focus on guarding against the spiderweb cages that would suddenly erupt from time to time.

After all, it was a spider web created by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and its strength was very high. Even with the sword intent added, her Netherworld Slash could hardly cut through it. She could only keep dodging and waiting for Ning Rongrong and the others to come to her aid.

She was helpless and could only wait for external support to rescue them.

As long as their teammates are all present, they are confident that they can contend with, or even kill, even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Not to mention Dean Flander is there. Even though Dean Flander was severely injured by that 100,000-year-old soul beast, it shouldn't be difficult for him to unleash his soul power.

With the soul pressure of a Title Douluo, it was enough to suppress a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, preventing it from showing its face.

Suddenly sensing something, she turned her head and saw that Tang San had glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes. However, Zhu Zhuqing didn't think much of it and continued to concentrate on dealing with the spider web traps.

"The only way to break the deadlock and save Xiao Wu is to use the sword energy clone that Teacher Yue left on Zhu Zhuqing. However, that sword energy clone should only be triggered when they are in mortal danger. We need to set up a trap to leave no trace."

With his mind racing, Tang San set his sights on Zhu Zhuqing, hoping to use her sword energy clone to break the deadlock and rush out to rescue Xiao Wu as soon as possible.

With Teacher Yue's sword aura clone present, they can definitely defeat that Titan Giant Ape and save Xiao Wu, achieving two goals at once.

However, he couldn't leave any trace, otherwise he would inevitably anger Master Yue's sword aura clone, and might end up cutting himself down before he could even rescue Xiao Wu.

Although he felt bad for Zhu Zhuqing, he couldn't worry about that now for Xiao Wu's safety.

However, before he could even make his move, a pink figure rushed out from the front.

"Little dance!"

Upon seeing that pink figure, Tang San was overjoyed. Wasn't that his Xiao Wu?

This joy made Tang San less attentive, and also gave the lurking underground spider an opportunity.

The ground below suddenly split open, revealing a hideous maw—the cave spider that had been hiding underground.

That wasn't all. The surrounding spider silk sprang up and coalesced into a cage, which rapidly expanded and hardened, sealing off Tang San's escape space.

"Oops!"

His expression changed, and before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his legs as the giant jaws bit him.

"Third Brother!"

"you wanna die!"

This scene almost broke Xiao Wu's heart. She was filled with rage and endless killing intent. She used teleportation to enter the cage and then used her fourth soul skill.

"Fourth Soul Skill - Invincible Golden Body!"

Relying on the absolute defense of her invincible golden body and the amplification of her power, Xiao Wu kicked down and broke one of the cave spider's pincers.

At the same time, he took out two Zhuge crossbows and pulled the triggers repeatedly, firing nearly a hundred arrows.

Although most of the arrows were deflected by the cave spider's hard carapace, a dozen or so still managed to pierce its mouth.

Even so, the two were dragged underground by the cave spider.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed over, clasped his hands together, and extended a black sword aura that precisely pierced into the body of the cave spider through a gap in its shell.

The person who made the move was Zhu Zhuqing. Although she had not successfully developed her third soul skill, Netherworld Slash, during this period, she had made some other gains, such as further integrating sword intent into it and being able to extend it by increasing the output of soul power.

Such a severe blow naturally enraged the cave spider. It wanted to attack but found itself trapped in the cage it had just created. The other creature had also entered through the cracks in the cage, so if it wanted to attack, it would have to break the cage first.

"Bring him out quickly!"

Zhu Zhuqing poured all her soul power into strengthening the sword energy, and shouted to Xiao Wu and Tang San at the same time.

Xiao Wu reacted quickly, and with the Cave Spider roaring in pain, Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to pull Tang San's legs out of its mouth.

Seeing its prey fall, the cave spider, though unwilling, could only retreat back underground. Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, leaped onto a large tree nearby, her breath coming in gasps.

The Netherworld Sword Qi that had just erupted consumed a lot of energy, and coupled with the previous consumption, she didn't have much soul power left.

The Cave Spider is a very vengeful spirit beast, and it has been targeting Zhu Zhuqing ever since she hurt it.

Without giving Zhu Zhuqing a chance to catch her breath, it triggered all the spider webs set up around the tree to erupt, forming a huge, multi-layered cage that enveloped the entire tree.

Then its enormous body emerged from the ground and rapidly climbed up the tree, determined to devour the human who had harmed it.

That wasn't all. As the cave spider rapidly climbed, it sprayed out webs to prevent the human from escaping.

Despite the approaching cave spiders below, Zhu Zhuqing remained calm.

Her calm confidence didn't stem from the sword aura clone left behind by her teacher, but from the arrival of reinforcements.

"Phoenix Fire Pillar!"

A thick pillar of fire shot out, its target the cave spider.

It was only after Ning Rongrong and the others arrived that Ning Rongrong was able to contact Zhu Zhuqing first via mental link, learn about the situation, and formulate a simple battle plan.

Although the spider silk of the cave spider is powerful, it is also afraid of fire, let alone Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames.

Moreover, this time Ma Hongjun used the Phoenix Fire Line released by the scorpion's tail to evolve it into a Phoenix Fire Pillar, which has even greater destructive power.

The sturdy spiderweb cage was burned with a large hole in the blink of an eye, but it delayed the fire for a while, allowing the cave spider to avoid the pillar of fire.

The pillar of fire then broke, and immediately a burly figure rushed in, unleashing his ultimate attack.

"White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
