Chapter 122 The Rules of Procedure, You Tianshang Arrives
Chapter 123 The Return Journey, You Tianshang Arrives
Li Luochen was protecting Ma Hongjun, and after this Soul Hunt, he could start working on breaking through to level 70.
Around evening, Ma Hongjun finished absorbing the spirit ring. His fourth spirit skill was still the same Phoenix Roar Strike, but the power of Ma Hongjun's left leg bone, Magma Earth-Splitting Strike, had greatly increased. The fourth spirit ring and the left leg bone were from the same type of spirit beast. Although they were not the same spirit beast, they could at least resonate with each other.
Li Luochen thought this discovery was quite good. Even spirit rings and spirit bones of the same type could correspond to each other, but spirit rings and spirit bones dropped by the same spirit beast were the most compatible.
Alright, the Soul Hunting is all done, and Li Luochen can now take them back to Shrek Academy in Soto City. However, Gangzi is coming soon, and to prevent him from fooling his crew, Li Luochen decided to take them to Shrek City for training later.
Although Shrek City is not yet fully built, Shrek Academy is already completed. Its simulated training environment is comparable to that of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which will be quite suitable for these kids to train in.
As for Tang San and the others? I don't care about them. Let them do whatever they want, as long as they don't get in my way.
Li Luochen and the four-person team went straight back, with Dugu Bo in the shadows accompanying them. This Soul Hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest was a complete success.
Three days later,
Upon returning to Shrek Academy, Li Luochen went to find Flander.
"Dean, I plan to take Oscar and the others to the Shrek Academy headquarters for training in a few days. Staying here will not benefit their training and will only slow down their progress."
Flanders naturally agreed with Li Luochen's words. He had wanted to move there for a long time, but Yu Xiaogang wrote that he was coming soon, and his disciple was also coming, so he was waiting here.
Flander looked out the window, his mind filled with thoughts of Liu Erlong and Liu Lan'er; he longed to be with them.
Three days later,
An unexpected person arrived at Shrek Academy. This person looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome appearance and dark blue hair. He moved with light steps, and a gentle breeze seemed to emanate from his body.
"Hey Lao You, what are you doing here?"
Li Luochen looked at the person in front of him, who was a middle-aged prodigy he had met during his travels, You Tianshang. This person was a Soul Douluo powerhouse, but his combat power was enough to defeat an ordinary Title Douluo. Lingyuan Douluo was impressed by his strength.
Upon hearing Li Luochen's voice, You Tianshang's face immediately darkened.
"Hey, Little Li, am I old? I'm only thirty-nine years old, right in my prime. Oh right, let's get down to business. My soul power has reached level eighty-nine, and I'll probably break through to the Title Douluo level in about six months."
I found a 100,000-year-old soul beast in Hurricane Canyon, named Sky Lord. It's extremely powerful, and I'm recruiting teammates to help me hunt it down.
"Recruiting teammates to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts? Old You, you really want a 100,000-year-old ninth soul ring. It seems that you will be younger than Tang Hao when you become a Title Douluo a year from now."
"But why are you looking for me? I'm just a Soul Emperor; I can't get involved in battles at this level. Besides, isn't your uncle the Azure Phoenix Douluo? Isn't he very strong? Why don't you go to him?"
Li Luochen countered, thinking that You Tianshang's background was also very strong. He was a level 97 Azure Phoenix Douluo, and with the addition of several elders, how could he not handle a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
"Tang Hao? What is Tang Hao? Don't you know my talent? Apart from Xiao Xue, you and your little lover and the Pope, I have the best talent. Even the Grand Elder back then didn't achieve what I have at my age."
Besides, I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Senior Dugu Bo. His Time Freeze Soul Skill is very powerful, and I guess that the Sky Lord is extremely fast and possesses the Ultimate Wind attribute.
I am close to the ultimate wind, and it is even faster than me. It almost caught up with me back then. It was easy for my uncle to defeat it, but if it wanted to run, my uncle couldn't catch up with it. What if it self-destructed during its escape?
I can't bear to part with such a good soul beast. Besides the two generals beside the Pope who possess control-type domain soul skills, only Dugu Bo has spatial control skills. Since we're acquainted, could you please pass on a message for me?
You Tianshang said awkwardly that he had come to ask for help. Last time he met Dugu Bo, he was confident that he could outwit Dugu Bo, but he ended up getting beaten up. This time he came to seek help.
"Okay, I'll talk to Grandpa. But how many people are you sending this time to hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
Li Luochen thought that You Tianshang, as a spoiled rich kid, should be able to gather a lot of helpers. "Well, my great-uncle, Grandpa Guangling, Uncle Long, the Overlord Douluo, and Senior Dugu Bo, whom I'm planning to find, this is the best team I can think of."
You Tianshang stroked his chin and said, "Actually, Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo together can already hunt down 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Add Batian Douluo to the mix. Wait, who is Batian Douluo? I seem to remember him. Let's go back and ask Grandpa Dugu."
Two Super Douluo, one Title Douluo, and Dugu Bo, a level 97 Super Douluo, are enough to hunt down 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill has been epic-level enhanced, with stronger control capabilities and the addition of poison attribute corrosion. He's a master of control.
"Old You, what's the payment?"
Li Luochen is a man who won't act without a reason. To hire a Super Douluo, especially a key figure, wouldn't be cheap.
"Of course there's a reward: a 60,000-year-old snake's right arm bone. How about that? Is the price right?"
You Tianshang said confidently.
"Um... Old You, my grandfather has a right arm bone that's 70,000 years old, and I'm not afraid to tell you, my grandfather is only missing his torso bone now."
Looking at You Tianshang's confident demeanor, Li Luochen couldn't bear to discourage him.
You Tianshang's face changed like a Sichuan opera mask, turning from sunny to cloudy, then overcast, and finally to heavy rain.
"No!"
Snowflakes are falling, and the north wind is howling...
"Hey Lao You, once you're officially promoted, come help me hunt for Souls. Yanzi is about to become a Soul Master, which will take about a year. After you're officially promoted, how about we gather some people to hunt the Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
This Azure Bull Python is a top-quality sub-dragon, and it also has a younger brother, a Titan Giant Ape. I will break through to Soul Saint in about a year, and I will also need the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring and soul bone.
"Then, you, along with Qingluan, Guangling, Teacher Qianjun, Teacher Jiangmo, and Grandpa Dugu, will be able to hunt down these two forest kings. That should be fine, right?"
Li Luochen's words immediately brightened You Tianshang's mood. It wasn't a big deal to exchange favors, since Li Luochen was also a member of the Spirit Hall, and it would all benefit their own people.
As for his seventh spirit ring being 100,000 years, he thought it was fine. Li Luochen was terrifying, like a monster. His cultivation as a Soul Emperor could rival or even defeat a Soul Douluo. Why couldn't he absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring?
Moreover, there was already a precedent. Young Master Qian Renxue achieved the milestone of 100,000 years for her seventh soul ring, and later Dugu Yan also achieved this milestone, which shocked him at the time.
Several years ago, the Grand Elder personally set off to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast. He eventually found a 100,000-year-old Holy Light Pegasus, which was eventually absorbed by Qian Renxue. A 100,000-year-old seventh soul ring is incredibly terrifying.
He felt old anyway. He was incredibly strong when he was young, like a monster, but when he compared himself to the younger generation, he realized he was no match for them. He had a 100,000-year-old ninth spirit ring, while they all had 100,000-year-old seventh spirit rings.
They were all terrifying, like monsters.
"Okay, I'll stay here for a few days. I've been traveling for many days, so I need to rest."
You Tianshang stayed at Shrek Academy.
