Chapter 155 Contra Dugu Yan
(I was busy on the 17th and only wrote one chapter. I'll post this one first, and I'll try to finish the second chapter on the afternoon of the 18th. I apologize to my readers in advance.)
While Li Luochen was lost in thought, Dugu Yan had also passed through the most difficult stage, and absorbing the soul ring would be smooth sailing from now on.
Li Luochen absorbed the soul ring quickly, completing it in just one day. Dugu Yan, on the other hand, took five days to absorb her soul ring, as the 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python was extremely powerful, and the soul power generated by the soul ring was also enormous.
Fortunately, Dugu Yan absorbed all the energy, and now her spirit ring configuration is: yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red. Such a powerful spirit ring configuration is truly rare.
Li Luochen actually saw some of Mu En's influence in Dugu Yan's soul ring configuration. However, Dugu Yan was now much stronger than Mu En, and he also knew that to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, one needed a 100,000-year soul bone.
Dugu Yan was very lucky. When she absorbed the seventh spirit ring, which was 100,000 years old, she already had a 100,000-year head spirit bone. One step ahead leads to another.
After absorbing the soul ring, Dugu Yan's soul power fluctuations reached level 85, and she had already progressed more than halfway through that level. It seems that there is still some soul power left in the left leg bone of the 100,000-year-old golden crocodile dragon within her body.
Dugu Yan's combat power at this time is estimated to have reached the level of a Super Douluo. She can kill ordinary Title Douluos. She has a 100,000-year-level Martial Soul True Body and an extremely suitable 100,000-year-old eighth soul skill.
Li Luochen was very familiar with Dugu Yan's soul bone skills: Azure Annihilation Thunder and Azure Slowing Claw, both very powerful skills.
Regarding Soul Skills: Golden Azure Dragon Soul, Golden Azure Dragon Wrath.
The Azure Dragon Soul of the Golden Emperor is a ranged attack. Dugu Yan gathers her soul power and releases an Azure Dragon Soul to destroy the enemy.
Golden Dragon's Fury is a melee burst skill. Golden lightning erupts from Dugu Yan's body, transforming into a giant golden dragon that charges at the enemy.
These two skills are excellent, and Dugu Yan's own martial soul, the Golden Azure Dragon, makes her incredibly strong. She excels in both ranged and melee attacks, making her a perfect offensive-type Soul Douluo.
Alright, the Soul Hunting Operation in the Star Dou Great Forest is over. Everyone, go home.
Meanwhile, far away in Soto City of the Barak Kingdom, Xiao Wu suddenly felt that something important to her had been lost, and tears suddenly streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Xiao Wu, why are you crying? Is the training too tough?"
Tang San immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Wu. He came over to comfort her and patted her head, and Xiao Wu's sadness vanished instantly.
"It's okay, brother. I just don't know why my eyes are watering. Maybe it's sand in my eyes. Xiao Wu is fine. Let's continue training. Master said he'll take us to Tian Dou City in a week."
Xiao Wu shook her head, wiped away her tears, then gave a sweet smile, putting her bad mood behind her, and left with Tang San's hand.
(Pah, you sycophant deserves it!)
Three days later, in Wuhun City, at the Papal Palace
"What! That brat Li Luochen hunted down the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python?! I had already reserved those two 100,000-year soul rings, and that brat actually stole them! How dare he!"
Bibi Dong was furious when she heard the information sent by Ghost Douluo. Those two beast kings were extremely rare, and she had long coveted them.
Her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul already has six soul rings, the sixth of which is at the 100,000-year level. She originally wanted to obtain the seventh soul ring before hunting down the two great beast kings, but they are gone now!
How could Bibi Dong not be angry? The key point is that this kid actually used the power of the Hall of Offerings. He really didn't treat her like an outsider. Bibi Dong was so angry that her breasts hurt. The first thing she wanted to do was to beat up that bastard Li Luochen.
Killing him is out of the question. Her beloved daughter, who lives far away in Tiandou City, has already been completely devoured. If she were to kill him, Qian Renxue would definitely fight her to the death, making the already strained mother-daughter relationship even worse.
Bibi Dong felt a headache coming on. She still wanted to mend the mother-daughter relationship with Qian Renxue, after all, she was her own flesh and blood. Unfortunately, the relationship between the two was already irreconcilable.
They argue as soon as they meet, and then they cry together. Even Li Luochen, a knowledgeable person, would recognize them on Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website). They're truly mother and daughter cut from the same mold; apart from her golden hair and martial spirit being similar to Qian Xunji's, Qian Renxue is nothing alike in any other way. "Your Holiness the Pope, Elder Li Luochen has a secret letter to present to Your Holiness the Pope."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's soft, feminine voice rang out. No sooner had Ghost Douluo told Bibi Dong about the matter than Chrysanthemum Douluo received a letter from Li Luochen.
What could he do? Of course, he had to save his own dead old man.
"Hmm? Bring it here." Bibi Dong was in a bad mood at the moment, and she wanted to know what kind of flattery this brat had come up with this time.
Bibi Dong opened the letter.
"Holy peace to His Holiness the Pope."
May the years gently caress you, leaving no trace on your resolute face. May your heart remain forever young, like the rising sun, radiating boundless light to illuminate your path forward.
Your beauty lies not only in your outward appearance, but also in your indomitable and courageous spirit. May you always be young and beautiful, forever radiant, and achieve extraordinary things!
Countless words of praise omitted
The letter contained thousands of words, ninety percent of which were compliments to Bibi Dong, praising her beauty, her powerful methods, her noble character in the Soul Master world, and her strength in the Soul Master field.
Bibi Dong read through the text word by word, her furrowed brows from anger relaxing and her lips curving slightly.
Li Luochen was, after all, a liberal arts student, so he was quite good at writing short essays. He even used a line of poetry. Bibi Dong's favorite line was "Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers of her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, and the dew is heavy."
Bibi Dong roughly understood what it meant. Corresponding to the opening phrase "peerless beauty," yes, she, Bibi Dong, was indeed such a peerless and extraordinary woman!
"Heh, you little rascal, you've passed the test," Bibi Dong said softly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo knelt on one knee, looking at each other. They were used to this. Although it was a bit tiring, it allowed them to slack off. Besides, it sounded like His Holiness the Pope was in a good mood, so they figured they wouldn't be in trouble.
At the end of the envelope, Li Luochen expressed that he had stolen the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts that Bibi Dong had her eye on, and that he was very "embarrassed" (Li Luochen: I'm so embarrassed). Li Luochen told Bibi Dong about the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Thousand-Pound Ant Kings are among the most powerful insect-type soul beasts. These three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings devoured the Ant Queen and hunted soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Their cultivation level is over 90,000 years, very close to 100,000 years.
Moreover, the Thousand-Pound Ant King is a top-tier soul beast, which is a perfect match for Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider King, since they are both insects. Although the Soul-Devouring Spider King mainly cultivates evil and darkness, spiders themselves are quite powerful, so increasing their power is not out of the question.
Furthermore, Bibi Dong has no intention of adding any more dark and evil attributes. She clearly feels that her own darkness and evil have reached a critical point, and absorbing more might affect her personality.
These three mighty ant kings are just right. Bibi Dong forgave Li Luochen for stealing her soul beast. She, as a mother-in-law, is magnanimous and doesn't hold it against this brat!
The saying "a prime minister's belly can hold a boat" perfectly describes her; as the Pope, who holds an even higher position, her magnanimity can be even greater!
What puzzled Bibi Dong the most was that Li Luochen's letter said that hunting and absorbing the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings at the same time might bring a big surprise!
Bibi Dong didn't know what kind of big surprise it would be, but she always felt that there was something else behind the boy's words. Absorbing three soul rings that were nearly 100,000 years old at the same time was no child's play, even though her current cultivation level had reached level 98.
However, she really wanted to give it a try. She was only three spirit rings away from collecting all the spirit rings. If she absorbed all three spirit rings at the same time, there would be a surprise. Could it be that the three spirit rings would resonate and advance to a lifespan of 100,000 years?
Bibi Dong felt it was becoming more and more likely; she seemed to have found the answer, and only then would it be a pleasant surprise!
Bibi Dong felt that she did need to make thorough preparations. She then dismissed Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and returned to the palace alone to begin the next step of her plan.
