Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

"It's alright, just go if I tell you to."

"Thank you very much, senior. I will gladly accept your offer!"

After a brief moment of restraint, Chen Luo rushed into the basement and began searching for useful treasures.

At first, Chen Luo was full of interest and anticipation, but as time went on, his expression became increasingly unpleasant, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"What a waste! So many good things have been ruined!"

Among the things Chen Luo searched for, there were many top-quality items, including weapons, herbs, and even rare offensive soul tools, but they had all become junk because they were not properly preserved.

"Given the current level of development of soul tools, it's quite rare to find offensive soul tools still existing!"

Chen Luo held a dagger made of special materials in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

The dagger is about 12 inches long, with a dark green handle and a body made of tough leather, on which three special gray gems can be seen.

When Chen Luo gripped the dagger, he could feel his soul power being stirred, a feeling somewhat similar to when he used a soul storage device.

He tried to infuse his soul power into it and was able to get a slight special response, but that was all.

It seems that a crucial core within the dagger has been damaged, leaving it on the verge of being unusable. Given the current level of development of soul tools, it is unlikely that it can be repaired.

"It's a rare item, so let's take it with us."

After a brief hesitation, Chen Luo finally decided to take the soul-guided dagger with him.

There were many things in the basement, and Chen Luo couldn't see them all in a short time. Fortunately, Yu Zongtian didn't urge him. After waiting for a while, Yu Zongtian spoke directly.

"Take your time choosing. After you've made your selection, come to my place. While you're at it, pack all your things. Your place won't do; it'll interfere with my enjoyment of the meal."

Chen Luo readily replied, "Okay, senior!"

"But this basement..."

“It will automatically shut down after you leave,” Yu Zongtian said.

"Understood, senior!"

When Chen Luo looked at Yu Zongtian, Yu Zongtian had already disappeared.

Chen Luo continued searching for items he could use, and his initial excitement gradually subsided into calm.

Whether Yu Zongtian was present or not didn't really have a big impact on Chen Luo; he just seemed more at ease at the moment.

Even without Yu Zongtian, Chen Luo didn't harbor any wicked thoughts. Putting aside how foolish those ideas were, he had his own bottom line.

Chen Luo spent almost an hour searching the basement, finally managing to look through everything. While searching, he also helped Yu Zongtian tidy up. At this point, the basement was no longer messy and was very clean and tidy.

It must be said that Yu Zongtian has collected a lot of good things. Even though many of the good things have been damaged, there are still a lot of things to choose from.

In the end, Chen Luo only chose three items: the soul-guided dagger and two herbs.

Chen Luo didn't have Tang San's knowledge of the Tang Sect, but the Douluo world itself contained many records about herbs. The two herbs that Chen Luo found happened to have a relatively deep impression in Yu Xiaogang's original memories.

Both herbs are relatively easy to grow. One of them is a light blue, leafy plant that looks very much like a pear sapling and is called Ice Void Wood.

The leaves of the Ice Void Tree can be consumed directly, while the main body is used to boil water for drinking, and the residue can be used as a material for weapon making.

The effect is the "ice" in its name: those with ice attributes can greatly enhance their ice abilities, while those without can increase their resistance.

Weapons made from scraps can be imbued with ice properties.

The other herb looks somewhat similar to ginseng, but it is entirely purple and its roots are very soft, appearing to wriggle slightly when held in the hand.

Purple Ruyi, after consumption, can enhance the body's recovery function and, to a certain extent, prolong life.

"I never imagined that someone who came to the City of Slaughter could be so wealthy. Of course, these treasures weren't all acquired by Yu Zongtian after he arrived in the City of Slaughter; it's very likely that many of these items were items he had long ago..."

After carefully storing the soul-guided dagger, the Ice Void Wood, and the Purple Ruyi, Chen Luo took one last look at the dazzling array of treasures in the basement before leaving.

The moment Chen Luo stepped out of the basement, the tomb closed automatically, leaving no gaps.

As Yu Zongtian had instructed, Chen Luo first returned to his residence to pack all his belongings, and then went to Yu Zongtian's small building.

Chapter 88 Nearly a Hundred Victories

"Senior, I have chosen these three treasures."

Upon arriving at the small building and meeting Yu Zongtian, Chen Luo immediately took out the soul tool dagger, the Ice Void Wood, and the Purple Ruyi to show Yu Zongtian.

Yu Zongtian merely glanced at it, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Chen Luo then began to pack his things. He never expected that finding a place to stay would involve so many little incidents, and after going around in circles, he finally returned to the small building.

After getting everything ready, Chen Luo began preparing the food.

"Why didn't you activate your martial soul today?"

Just as Chen Luo was preparing to grill the meat, Yu Zongtian suddenly arrived and asked him a question.

Chen Luo had gradually gotten used to Yu Zongtian's elusive nature and replied with a smile, "With you here, senior, I feel very safe and don't need to activate my martial soul."

"Activate your Martial Soul," Yu Zongtian said.

"what……"

Although Chen Luo was puzzled, he did as he was told and summoned Golden Luo Sanpao.

Yu Zongtian's gaze remained fixed on Huang Jinluo Sanpao. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Interesting."

Chen Luo noticed that when Yu Zongtian saw Huang Jinluo Sanpao before, his gaze would occasionally fall on Huang Jinluo Sanpao.

After Luo Sanpao appeared, he still trembled instinctively when he saw Yu Zongtian, until Yu Zongtian said, "Don't be afraid."

Luo Sanpao calmed down instantly and even walked towards Yu Zongtian. He stopped half a meter in front of Yu Zongtian and looked at him with some curiosity.

Yu Zongtian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile. His gaze shifted from Huang Jinluo Sanpao to Chen Luo, lingering for a moment before he left.

A month later.

Hellish Slaughter Field.

Chen Luo knocked down the last enemy with a single punch, his body already covered in blood.

"Number 9000, 99 wins!"

A loud voice, tinged with excitement, rang out in the hellish killing field, announcing Chen Luo's victory.

Chen Luo was still panting heavily. It took him a while for his breathing to return to normal. Most of the blood on his body came from the enemy, but some of it came from himself.

Injuries are inevitable in battle, especially since he is often targeted. The recent ninety-ninth battle was a life-or-death fight against nine opponents, and it was no easy feat to win.

Chen Luo had a knife wound about 30 centimeters long and 2 centimeters deep on his back, which he had sustained in the battle just now. It was slowly healing, but it would obviously take some time to fully recover.

"Number 9000, it's time for you to leave!"

Upon receiving the notification, Chen Luo endured the pain in his back, walked to the side, and pulled out his dagger. The hole left by the dagger was already covered by frost.

"Number 9,000!!!"

"Number 9,000!!!"

"Number 9,000!!!"

Amidst the enthusiastic farewells of the audience, Chen Luo walked out of the hellish killing field step by step.

The battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena has ended, but that doesn't mean Chen Luo's rest time is coming.

As soon as Chen Luo stepped outside, more than a dozen people rushed towards him. Among them were several who had just been cheering and shouting for Chen Luo in the audience.

In the City of Slaughter, the strong may earn the respect of others, but they will inevitably become the target of others' ire.

You either continue to grow stronger, or those lurking in the shadows will seize the opportunity and take advantage of your weakness to destroy you.

This wasn't the first time Chen Luo had encountered such a situation, and he showed no mercy, immediately launching a massacre outside the arena.

"Come out, Golden Luo Sanpao!"

Golden light flashed, and Golden Luo Sanpao appeared, fighting alongside Chen Luo.

Even without being able to use his soul skills, Golden Luo Sanpao was still an invincible force in the face of these vicious and desperate criminals, thanks to his enormous body.

"He can actually summon soul beasts!!!"

"That's his martial spirit!!!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Today is the worst he's ever been injured. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's all attack together. Even if he summons a dragon, we can end the battle as long as we take him down!"

Moments later, the road was littered with corpses, and blood flowed slowly down the trenches in the ground.

Chen Luo sat on the back of Golden Luo Sanpao and slowly drove away.

Such experiences have become the norm for Chen Luo recently, and the expression on Chen Luo's face has always been very calm.

"It's time to rest for a few days and prepare for the final battle..."

Chen Luo glanced indifferently at the corpses lying haphazardly around him, and gently wiped the blood from his face with his hand.

Small building.

After returning, Chen Luo took a shower. Blood flowed down his strong body, and the water on his wounds was extremely painful to watch, but Chen Luo finished rinsing himself off without any expression.

After treating his wounds briefly, Chen Luo changed into clean clothes and, as usual, took out the ingredients he had prepared in advance to start preparing today's meal.

Yu Zongtian was not in the small building; only his obsession emitted eerie sounds throughout the building.

"Only by killing them can I live comfortably. Only by killing them can I live comfortably..."

Whenever Chen Luo heard these sounds, he couldn't help but wonder about Yu Zongtian's past experiences.

Unbeknownst to Chen Luo, he had already spent more than a month with Yu Zongtian. However, although it was more than a month, Chen Luo and Yu Zongtian had actually spent less than a day together.

Yu Zongtian's whereabouts were unpredictable; he would only come back for a meal every day, and then disappear again afterward.

Yu Zongtian spoke very little, and even when he did speak, it was only about trivial matters.

Chen Luo originally thought he could learn a lot from Yu Zongtian, but it turned out that the first two days after he met Yu Zongtian were the two days when Yu Zongtian talked the most.

After preparing the food, Chen Luo did not wait for Yu Zongtian, but started eating directly with Huang Jinluo Sanpao. He didn't know which meal Yu Zongtian would eat when he returned.

"Some things have been taken care of, and tonight will be our last meal here."

Yu Zongtian appeared quietly and began to eat very naturally.

It was a rare treat to hear Yu Zongtian speak, so Chen Luo couldn't help but look at him.
