Chapter 211 The Deal with Dugu Bo
Are they in the Killing City?
The direction that the Poseidon's mark is guiding us to is the location of the City of Slaughter.
As Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, previously mentioned, he would face an extremely powerful opponent in one of his upcoming trials.
Could it be that the formidable opponents Poseidon was referring to were Ding Quan and his group?
Tang San fell into deep thought. Was there really anyone on the continent whose strength could surpass his own among those of the same level? Ding Quan and the others were indeed among them.
My sixth trial was to withstand Poseidon's attacks for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Could it be that defeating them would be more difficult than defeating Poseidon, who only used her first six soul skills?
Furthermore, the people who fought the deep-sea demon whale king in the ocean before should be them. Only they possess such powerful ice attributes and sword energy.
"What's wrong, mistress?"
"What is their strength now?" Those people are indeed very likely the opponents Poseidon mentioned in his assessment, so it would be good to learn more about them now.
"Their strength?" Tang Hao shook his head upon hearing this. "I cannot fathom their strength, but it is likely that their strength is already on par with mine."
"They're that strong!" Tang San was shocked to hear this, as he was aware of Tang Hao's current strength.
The Thousand-Pound Ant King, which was difficult to hunt just now, did not last long in his hands. Even now that his soul power has reached level ninety, he may not be able to do that.
Do they also possess strength above level 96?
Could it be that they have also broken through to the Title Douluo realm?
"Rumors from the Spirit Hall say that Bing Ling absorbed her third 100,000-year spirit ring more than a year ago, becoming a Spirit Douluo." A Spirit Douluo with three 100,000-year spirit rings—such a spirit ring configuration even shocked Tang Hao, who was previously known as the youngest Title Douluo on the continent.
A 100,000-year spirit ring can greatly enhance a spirit master's talent, and Tang Hao is well aware of how much a 100,000-year spirit ring can improve a spirit master.
Tang San was only a level 89 Soul Douluo before, yet he was able to suppress two Super Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost. Tang Hao was not surprised by this. When Tang Hao was level 90, he was able to fight against Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall. Qian Xunji had a god-level spirit, the Six-Winged Angel, and his strength was absolutely outstanding among level 95.
It's understandable that Tang San, who now possesses two 100,000-year soul rings, could achieve this level.
Being able to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring means that the spirit master's physical qualities already surpass those of an ordinary Title Douluo. Moreover, Tang San currently possesses spirit rings that are several times more numerous than those of an ordinary Title Douluo.
"Little sister, you are very talented, but their talent is in no way inferior to yours."
Tang Hao said in a deep voice that too many geniuses had appeared in this era that he could not understand. He was hailed as a genius that the Haotian Sect saw once in a hundred years, but he was no match for them at all.
"Uncle Hao, Third Brother has inherited the position of the Sea God, and he will be able to become a god in the future." Ma Hongjun said, breaking the serious atmosphere between the two.
At this moment, Poseidon had already told Tang San what the Nine Trials of the Sea God meant.
Once the nine tests are completed, one can inherit the position of the Sea God and become the new Sea God.
"Becoming a god! If Xiao San has such an ability, then those others might also have had such an opportunity. Perhaps only in this way can they achieve such terrifying cultivation speed!"
"Indeed, they might be like me." Tang San had previously guessed that his soul power had increased rapidly because of his twin martial souls, while those others did not have twin martial souls.
"We're here! The Thousand-Leaf Banyan has no advantages other than its immense soul power. Little San, absorbing its soul ring will maximize your soul power level!" Tang Hao stopped, and a huge plant soul beast appeared in their field of vision.
"That's it, huh?"
"Xiao San, what's wrong?" Tang Hao asked, noticing Tang San's strange expression.
"fine."
The direction guided by the sea god's mark has changed; it's now heading in my direction.
No, it's not coming towards me, but returning to its previous position, in this direction?
The Heavenly Dou Imperial City seems to be in this direction.
Next to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City is the Sunset Forest, where those people spent a considerable amount of time. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, one of the three great treasure basins, is located there.
Could it be that the thing guided by the Sea God's Mark is really in those people's hands? If so, then we really need to go and take a look.
In the forest at sunset.
A spirit cat with an eerie glow was fighting a green phosphorescent snake.
However, the spirit rings surrounding these two indicate that they are not spirit beasts, but rather spirit masters who have released their true spirit forms.
"I'm not fighting anymore!" the Azure Phosphorous Serpent uttered, its nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—circling its tens-of-meters-long body. Its green eyes gazed at the Netherworld Spirit Cat, which was less than two meters long, and its heart was filled with emotion.
Are 100,000-year spirit rings really that monstrous? Even a Soul Saint with only seven rings and a Title Douluo of level 95 can handle them with ease.
"Senior Dugu, we have not yet determined a winner."
The Netherworld Cat emitted a somewhat cold sound, and its seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, and one red—pulsated slowly.
"Your ability is too abnormal. I can't hit you. You win!" Dugu Bo said in a very frustrated tone. He should have left after coming here to get some medicinal herbs. Why did he agree to guide them? It was simply asking for trouble.
The difference between the strength of a Soul Saint and a level 95 Title Douluo should theoretically be worlds apart, but these people in front of us are not ordinary Soul Saints.
The Soul Saint possessed a 100,000-year Soul Ring, and Dugu Bo felt a pang of envy as he looked at the outermost blood-red Soul Ring on the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
In addition to having a 100,000-year soul ring, this Netherworld Cat Soul Master definitely has 100,000-year soul bones, and definitely more than one. Otherwise, even if her ability can make her immune to most of her attacks, she wouldn't be able to do it so easily.
"Senior, you didn't use your full strength." Zhu Zhuqing knew very well that if Dugu Bo really made a move, she would definitely not be his match.
At least, Dugu Bo did not use the most powerful ability of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom, at this time.
"Even if I use all my strength, I'm afraid I can't do anything to you."
As Dugu Bo spoke, he put away his Martial Soul True Form. The Netherworld Cat Soul Master in front of him was even more ghostly than the Ghost Douluo in the Spirit Hall. Soul power attacks and Martial Soul attacks seemed unable to harm her. She seemed to be immune to most physical and soul power damage.
After fighting for so long, the opponent was completely unharmed, which almost made Dugu Bo doubt whether he had actually advanced to level 95.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Zhu Zhuqing also put away her Martial Soul True Body. In the Sunset Forest, the group also sparred with each other during their spare time.
Now that Ding Quan and the others have left, Shui Bing'er is the only opponent he can fight.
They were too familiar with Shui Bing'er's abilities and soul skills, and their combat abilities had not improved much after fighting with her. That's why they asked Dugu Bo, who came to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to collect herbs, to guide their cultivation.
"Senior, would you like to spar with Bing'er again? You two didn't even decide a winner just now." After the two stopped fighting, Ning Rongrong came to Zhu Zhuqing and enveloped Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Bo with a ray of light, bringing his soul power to its peak.
"Never mind." Dugu Bowen's lips twitched, then he looked at Shui Bing'er, who was also walking over.
What kind of monsters did Ding Quan find? Ning Rongrong's martial soul is no longer the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; its abilities are definitely much stronger than the auxiliary abilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that I know of.
Ning Rongrong hasn't released her martial soul yet. Looking at the light emanating from the other person, she knows it's a soul bone skill.
Moreover, it is the most important torso bone. Feeling one's condition instantly restored to its best state, this soul bone must be over 100,000 years old. Only a soul bone of that age could possess such an ability.
These people all possess soul bones, and the age of these soul bones is very high.
As for Shui Bing'er, she is a genius whom I am far from being her match. Her soul power level is probably not far from level ninety.
A Soul Douluo with two red spirit rings possesses terrifying strength. I had no ability to fight back against her. The strongest poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was useless against her ice attribute.
The terrifying chill kept him completely under control; if the other party were to actually attack him, he probably wouldn't even be able to escape.
"Senior Dugu, do you still have those herbs you gave Quan before?" Ning Rongrong looked at Dugu Bo in front of her. She had learned from Ding Quan and the others that the herb called Qiluo Tulip that she had absorbed was from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye that they were cultivating.
There are many rare and exotic plants there that are unknown to most people.
If they could obtain a few of these plants from Dugu Bo, perhaps the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Soul Masters could absorb them and evolve their Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Her father desperately wanted her to have a child so that she could pass on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit.
However, Ding Quan did not want to leave offspring. Becoming a god was far too difficult for a soul master. Even with Ding Quan's help, the chances of becoming a god would be very low if he did leave offspring.
They all planned to consider this matter later, to see if there was a possibility of becoming gods. After all, once they became gods, they would ascend to the divine realm, and their children would be born as gods.
"Herbal herbs?" Dugu Bo glanced at the group upon hearing this.
"Senior, you gave Quan four medicinal herbs before, which Ding Quan and I have already consumed, which is why we were able to break through to the Soul Douluo level so quickly. The other two did not receive any, so that's why we asked you about it, Senior." Shui Bing'er came up to the group and explained to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo gave Ding Quan four medicinal herbs, but only one of them was used. Ding Quan gave the other three to Bibi Dong, who had been intercepted by his group from having three 100,000-year soul rings, so that Bibi Dong would not attack the group that was undergoing a soul beast sacrifice at the time.
Exchanging three medicinal herbs for three 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones is a worthwhile deal.
"I see!" Dugu Bo immediately understood. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were not with Shui Bing'er back then. The reason they gave Ding Quan four medicinal herbs was because there were only four of them at the time.
No wonder they were able to advance to Soul Douluo so quickly; those few herbs must have been a great help.
Dugu Bo was very clear about the effects of those medicinal herbs, after all, he had cultivated to level 95 in just a few years, which was also due to the help of those rare and exotic herbs.
Furthermore, he carefully selected one for his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, which greatly enhanced her talent and strength.
"Senior, if you have any, could you give us some?" Shui Bing'er saw Dugu Bo's expression; it seemed he still possessed such immortal herbs. "Of course, we won't take your things for nothing. We can exchange them for soul bones."
"Soul Bone!" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, and he had no doubt that these people possessed a Soul Bone.
The soul bones they possess are of extremely high quality, with many being over 100,000 years old.
"That's right, they are all over ten thousand years old. If you're willing, senior, we also have soul bones that are over sixty or seventy thousand years old."
Shui Bing'er's words were true. She already possessed the soul bone that was over 60,000 to 70,000 years old, which was a 60,000-year-old Ice Feather Flying Eagle soul bone that she herself had been given to her by Dean Tianshui.
There is also a right arm soul bone that is over 70,000 years old. It is the right arm soul bone on Wei'er's body, which comes from a white-eyed demon tiger king that is over 70,000 years old.
These two soul bones are currently still on me and Vera, and will most likely be replaced later.
Especially Wei'er, whose soul bones are now fully equipped. She obtained her left leg soul bone by hunting a 100,000-year-old soul beast on the Sun and Moon Continent.
At this moment, Vera was still missing one last soul ring. According to the group's plan, Vera's ninth soul ring would be the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a soul beast with an age of over 400,000 years. Vera would naturally not let go of the soul bone left by such a soul beast, so the only option was to take out the soul bone of the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King from her body.
In this way, the soul bone would be superfluous.
"A soul bone that's sixty or seventy thousand years old!" Dugu Bo's tone was somewhat shocked. A soul bone that's sixty or seventy thousand years old? These people didn't seem to value it at all.
A soul bone that is 60,000 to 70,000 years old can provide a tremendous boost to a soul master, even a titled Douluo. Possessing such a soul bone not only increases a soul master's physical strength but also grants them an eighth or even ninth soul skill, unlike other soul masters.
It should be noted that Dugu Bo's ninth spirit ring was only a little over 70,000 years old.
"Of course, it depends on whether the herbs you bring out, Senior Dugu, are of such high value. After all, it's not easy for us to bring out soul bones that are over 60,000 or 70,000 years old."
"In that case, allow me to consider it." Dugu Bo said in a deep voice. Such a high-age soul bone is hard to come by, and one cannot take too many herbs. Keeping those herbs in hand is not very useful. He only needs to keep a portion of them.
Moreover, this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is my own territory, and when I picked those medicinal herbs, I left behind the seeds or roots.
"Haha, if senior really has extra herbs, we won't let you down!" A clear voice entered everyone's ears, and then the space in front of them seemed to distort slightly.
"Quan, you're back so soon!" Shui Bing'er looked at Ding Quan and the others, who seemed to appear out of thin air after the space was distorted, and her face showed astonishment. Although Ding Quan could control a certain amount of spatial power, he could never have done this before.
Ling has broken through! She has also come into contact with the power of space.
Moreover, Ding Quan and Wei Ji's levels have probably reached that point by now. As someone who has a fusion skill with Ding Quan, Shui Bing'er immediately sensed the strength of Ding Quan's soul power.
"Well, the trip went fairly smoothly." Ding Quan nodded to the group, then took out a box from his storage soul tool and handed it to Dugu Bo.
"Senior, these are our surplus soul bones. You can decide how many medicinal herbs we can exchange them for."
