Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 677 Deep Adventure, Joint Assessment
"I don't really approve of the methods you used to win, but in the end, you won."

Therefore, Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen, the difficulty of the Moon Goddess assessment, Phoenix Goddess assessment, and Ice and Snow Goddess assessment that you inherit will increase.

Wang Qiu'er, Ning Tian, ​​Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo embark on a deep adventure.

It sounds a bit absurd. They clearly won, they were the victors, yet they faced punishment instead of rewards.

Upon hearing the punishment, the women all smiled, because their punishment meant that Jiang Ming's divine assessment would be less difficult.

This test isn't about the strength of either party, but about their feelings for each other!

Ordinary punishments might not be able to test the depth of feelings, but whether it's an increased difficulty in the divine assessment or entering a deep adventure, both can bring life-threatening dangers!
Making a choice between life and love is destined to be a very difficult one.

Similarly, this is a consistent pattern in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

A beam of light descended, and everyone vanished.

Zhang Lexuan returned to the Moon Goddess's inheritance assessment. Under the cool moonlight, her martial spirit seemed to have become even stronger.

Ma Xiaotao returned to the Phoenix God's assessment, and amidst the endless phoenix flames, she comprehended the true meaning of the Phoenix God.

Ling Luochen also returned to the assessment of the Ice and Snow Goddess. The world was covered in ice and snow, and everything was white. She stood alone in the snow, feeling lonely and cold.

All three women could feel the increasing difficulty of the assessment they were undergoing, but so what?

They responded with a smile, showing that as fellow prodigies, they were not afraid!
On the other side, Jiang Ming sat on the ground, closed his eyes and held his breath, using his mental power to activate the two divine inheritance marks located deep in his spiritual sea.

After admitting defeat, the difficulty of his test was indeed reduced. The time to pass the seventh test and kill the evil lord was changed from three years to five years!
Given Jiang Ming's current rate of improvement over five years, killing the Evil Lord is practically a certainty.

Unless the Evil Lord obtains some extraordinary opportunity in just five years and increases his cultivation from 800,000 years to 1 million years, he is doomed!
But he's not happy about it now.

The difficulty of his assessment has decreased, which means that the assessment difficulty for Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen has increased.

He certainly had confidence in the three of them; even if the difficulty of the divine assessment was increased, they would still be able to pass.

However, he always felt guilty because he had made their assessment more difficult due to his own reasons.

"Ancestor Dai Mubai, Senior Sun God, are you there?"

Although Jiang Ming wanted to curse, he knew the other person was a god, so he had to hold back his curses for now and wait until he became a god. Hmph!

"Hey! You've got quite a few female confidantes, haven't you? They're all willing to take risks for you."

Dai Mubai's voice rang in Jiang Ming's ears, with a hint of teasing.

From a man's perspective, he admired Jiang Ming's charm, after all, he had also been surrounded by women in his youth.

But from the perspective of a man who has reformed his ways...
Pooh!Scumbag!

"Why are you calling us? You're not planning to take the seventh test right now, are you? That soul beast called Evil Lord isn't that strong, but it's still very difficult for you. Your chances of passing the test now are very low."

The Sun God's opinion was quite reasonable. Even though Jiang Ming's cultivation had broken through to level 95 and he could fight the Evil Lord to a draw or even slightly suppress him in his prime, it didn't mean he could kill him!
Suppression and killing are two different concepts.

"Yes, I know that. I don't mean to take the seventh test now."

Jiang Ming nodded.

Although he had only briefly fought with the Evil Lord, he had a general understanding of the Evil Lord's strength.

He knew, of course, that with his current strength, it was unlikely that he could kill the Evil Lord.

Besides, Zhang Lexuan and the others specially negotiated for a lower difficulty level for themselves. If they didn't take the test, wouldn't that be a waste?
"Oh? Then why did you summon us through the divine inheritance mark?"

Dai Mubai asked.

Jiang Ming said in a deep voice, "I want to ask if I can help Sister Lexuan and the others complete the divine assessment and that deep adventure?"

Since Sister Lexuan and the others hoped to reduce the difficulty of their assessment, he would not let them down.

But he really didn't want them to encounter more danger because of him.

"Wow~"

Dai Mubai let out a strange cry, having bumped into something a little.

"Look at them!"

Zhu Zhuqing glared at Dai Mubai with annoyance. Although she had also been impressed, compared to when she was taking the god's assessment, Dai Mubai hadn't even thought of helping her.

"This"

Dai Mubai never expected that his stumbling would backfire so badly.

"Ahem, this..."

Dai Mubai coughed lightly, then changed the subject, saying, "So, what do you guys think? Could we ask Jiang Ming to help them?"

The deep adventures in Qiankun Wenqing Valley are manageable, but whether or not others can help during the divine assessment depends on the divine being's own will.

It's not that we can't help; there are precedents for this in the divine assessments. But the specifics depend on the divine deity's decision.

“I think we can ask him for help with the deep adventure. After all, these girls have helped him too. It’s mutual help.”

Ning Rongrong said softly.

She was in charge of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, and she felt there was no problem with it.

"I'm fine here, so let's go together. Anyway, my Moon Goddess assessment and Sun Goddess assessment are related. They're a couple, so there's nothing wrong with it."

The Moon Goddess didn't care at all. The sun and the moon were always together, and they were fine even when they were being tested together, let alone helping each other.

"I'm fine. My talent as the successor is a bit lacking. With his help, the success rate of inheriting my godhood will be higher."

Ling Luochen's talent in cultivation is indeed lacking, at least compared to Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan.

Compared to Jiang Ming, he is even less comparable.

With Jiang Ming's help, the burden can indeed be shared to some extent, but there is no doubt that the overall difficulty will increase. However, this increased difficulty will definitely fall on Jiang Ming's shoulders.

"Oh well, I'll just leave it to my descendants."

Ma Hongjun hesitated for a moment.

This relationship between his own descendants was somewhat of a tragic one, but since it was her own choice, he, as her ancestor, respected it.

Seeing that they had no objections, Dai Mubai nodded.

"Well, if that's the case, then it's permitted."

"Cough cough!"

When replying to Jiang Ming, Dai Mubai deliberately coughed lightly to display the majesty of a deity and to make up for his previous carefree image.

"Jiang Ming, after careful consideration, we, the deities, have decided to grant your request."

However, you should think carefully: if you choose to help them pass the divine trials and deep adventures, then depending on the circumstances, you will be under even more pressure.

Do you still want to make this choice?

A deep voice, carrying the majesty of a deity, rang in Jiang Ming's ears.

"Pressure? I'm not afraid of pressure! Bring it on!"

Jiang Ming said firmly.

Is he someone who's afraid of pressure?
"Very good, then next, you can choose who to help first."

Dai Mubai said in a deep voice.

I can help, but that doesn't mean the deep adventures and divine trials in Qiankun Wenqing Valley will wait for Jiang Ming just because he's alone.

Therefore, Jiang Ming must make a choice first.

"I see. Then let's help the Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo sisters first."

Jiang Ming thought for a moment and then made a decision.

The reason is simple: the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, are the weakest among those girls.

Comparatively speaking, the two of them are more likely to face life-threatening situations when undertaking deep adventures.

"as you wish."

A new voice appeared; it wasn't Dai Mubai's, but sounded like a girl's voice.

Before Jiang Ming could think further, his figure was enveloped in a golden light.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

The Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, looked at Wang Qiu'er ahead with worried expressions.

After embarking on a deeper adventure, they found themselves, Ning Tian, ​​and Captain Wang Qiu'er, in a forest.

This forest looks strange, with a sinister and evil atmosphere everywhere.

"Let's find a place to check things out first. This forest seems to be a gathering place for spirit beasts; I can sense many spirit beast auras."

Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, Wang Qiu'er's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity.

As a transformed soul beast, she could clearly sense several extremely powerful auras within this forest.

The soul beast that could evoke this feeling in her must have a cultivation level of over 100,000 years!

"In-depth assessment begins."

Assessment question: Break out of the demon forest.

Requirements: Escape the Demon Forest and return to the western territory of Mingdu. The environment you are in is real; death during the assessment is a real death. Failure to return to the western territory within three days will result in failure of the assessment and death as punishment. The assessment begins.

The calm voice disappeared, and the next second, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky.

boom!
As the golden light faded, Jiang Ming's figure emerged from it.

"Senior Brother Jiang Ming, you, what brings you here too?"

The Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Ming felt a slight sense of relief when he saw that not only Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, but also Ning Tian and Wang Qiu'er were there. With all four of them present, he wouldn't have to make several trips.

However, when he sensed that his soul power cultivation was suppressed to the sixth ring, his lips twitched involuntarily.

It’s so frustrating!
He suppresses his cultivation level at the drop of a hat, and now he's even suppressing his spiritual power and blood energy. He's simply inhuman!

Jiang Ming thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

However, he wasn't too surprised. He had heard the content of the deep adventure assessment, which was about rushing out of the Demon Forest and returning to Mingdu West Mountain.

If his cultivation level weren't suppressed, with his strength, he could send all these people back to Mingdu West Mountain in three hours, let alone three days.

In the entire Demon Forest, apart from the Evil Lord, an 800,000-year-old soul beast, he really didn't take the others seriously.

But now his cultivation level is suppressed to the sixth ring, so it will be a bit difficult for him to break through.

The moment he arrived, he sensed many powerful auras. They were probably in the core area of ​​the Demon Forest!
Boom boom boom!

The earth suddenly began to shake.

Jiang Ming's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Oh no! When I came over just now, that golden light attracted all the nearby soul beasts!"

That's so sneaky!
Jiang Ming cursed inwardly.

When such a bright golden light descended upon the central area of ​​the Demon Forest, any soul beast that wasn't blind would definitely notice something was amiss.

Right now, it seems that all the powerful soul beasts in the central area of ​​the Demon Forest are heading towards their location.

"go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Ming immediately led Wang Qiu'er and the others away from there.

If he were at his peak, he could easily wipe out these soul beasts on the spot, but now he's only at the Soul Emperor level. How can he possibly fight these 100,000-year-old soul beasts?

The group traversed the demon forest, escaping from the direction where the aura of the soul beasts was weakest.

But Jiang Ming didn't keep running away; instead, he wanted to find an opportunity to determine his direction.

The Demon Forest is vast. If they run in the wrong direction, even if they manage to escape, they may not have enough time to return to the west of Mingdu.

"Master."

Suddenly, Wang Qiu'er called out.

Jiang Ming was slightly taken aback, then realized that Wang Qiu'er was calling him.

He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Qiu'er glanced around and said in a low voice, "Master, we may have gone the wrong way. This is not the way to Mingdu. My intuition tells me that Mingdu's Western Hills should be in that direction!"

As she spoke, Wang Qiu'er pointed in a direction.

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed; in that direction, there was a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

"Intuition? Qiu'er, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Ming knew Qiu'er wouldn't speak without reason, but intuition is a powerful thing.
Ning Tian and the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, also found it hard to believe.

They could have trusted Wang Qiu'er for other reasons, but intuition... using intuition to judge the direction, isn't that a bit too hasty?
"Master, trust me! My intuition is never wrong."

Wang Qiu'er said in a deep voice.

Jiang Ming frowned. The direction Wang Qiu'er was pointing in was completely opposite to the direction they were currently heading, and there was a 100,000-year-old soul beast there. It would be almost impossible to bypass it silently.

In other words, if they listened to Wang Qiu'er, they would have to confront a 100,000-year-old soul beast head-on! This was extremely dangerous for their current cultivation level!

"Qiu'er, how confident are you?"

Jiang Ming clenched his fist and took a deep breath.

"My intuition is never wrong."

Wang Qiu'er spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming sensed the approaching aura of the surrounding soul beasts and made no further hesitation.

"Okay, I believe you! Let's go!"

Without a word, Jiang Ming immediately led the group to change positions and headed directly towards the location of the 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Ning Tian and the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, did not speak. With their combined strength, the only way to complete this deep adventure was to follow Wang Qiu'er and Jiang Ming.

Once they escape, they will have no chance in this demonic forest!
"You're too slow! Use your flying soul tools!"

Jiang Ming led the way while the four women used their flying soul tools to travel.

He wasn't worried about the four girls not having flying soul tools. The current standard for the inner court of Shrek Academy was that everyone who entered the inner court would have a flying soul tool as standard equipment, and no one would be missing one.

"However, using a flying soul tool will generate strong soul power fluctuations."

Ning Tian said with concern.

Flying soul tools can indeed greatly increase their speed, but these things need to be activated with soul power, and the fluctuations in soul power released by this activation are easily detected by soul beasts.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming shook his head and said, "It's alright. Can the aura fluctuations from your flying soul tools be stronger than the aura fluctuations from my battle with a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Don't worry, I have a way to attract these guys' attention. Just use it!"

"Qiu'er, you take Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo with you. Their cultivation levels are too low. Ning Tian, ​​you stay close to Qiu'er!"

The difference between Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's flying soul tools and Ning Tianwang Qiu'er's flying soul tools is too great, so it would be better for Wang Qiu'er to carry them directly.

After he finished speaking, a pair of wings, one blue and one purple, stretched out from behind Jiang Ming.

He and Wang Qiu'er exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then their figures shot directly into the sky.

Without any hesitation, Wang Qiu'er picked up Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo in her arms, and a pair of golden dragon wings unfolded behind her.

Golden Dragon Wings, a level seven peak flight soul tool that Jiang Ming tailored for her!
"Use your soul power to protect your body, I need to accelerate!"

Ning Tian behind her immediately got ready as well. As the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, her flying soul tool was also custom-made. Of course, its level was not as high as Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Wings, but it was still a level six flying soul tool, and its speed was not slow.

"The seven treasures are named: first, strength; second, speed; and third, spirit!"

Ning Tian glanced at Jiang Ming, who was flying into the sky, and without hesitation released the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to amplify the power of Jiang Ming and the other three.

Jiang Ming, with his sixth-ring cultivation, was going to fight a 100,000-year-old soul beast head-on. There was nothing she could do to help him; she could only offer the amplification she could.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming's cultivation level is currently suppressed at the sixth-ring Soul Emperor level. If her cultivation level had not been suppressed, Ning Tian's sudden amplification would have backfired, causing her to bleed from all seven orifices on the spot.

After releasing the amplification, she and Wang Qiu'er increased their speed again, rushing towards the direction where the 100,000-year-old soul beast was located.

Roar!
Suddenly, a roar shook the air, causing Wang Qiu'er and Ning Tian to stop in their tracks.

A gigantic soul beast blocked their way.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?! How could it be such an almost extinct soul beast?!"

Wang Qiu'er was completely stunned when she saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is an extremely rare and almost extinct soul beast. Even in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, she had never seen such a soul beast. She never expected that there would be one in this Demon Forest!
Wang Qiu'er examined the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger closely and murmured, "It's pure black, over eight meters long, and has a huge barb on its tail. This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has been cultivating for over sixty thousand years!"

Hearing this, Ning Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it wasn't a 100,000-year-old soul beast after all."

"No!"

Wang Qiu'er's expression was solemn as she said in a deep voice, "The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses extremely high intelligence, and its combat strength is among the top tier of soul beasts! This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, with a cultivation level exceeding 60,000 years, is probably even more terrifying in combat than an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian's expression turned extremely ugly.

We've actually encountered a soul beast with such terrifying strength!

"Then, can we break through?"

Ning Tian panicked a little.

Wang Qiu'er glanced at Ning Tian and said, "This guy possesses multiple attributes such as evil, time, space, lightning, wind, and power. Once he sets his sights on you, it's almost impossible to get past him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a mental transmission sounded in their ears.

"Seize the opportunity, I'll lure it over!"

In the air, Jiang Ming glanced at the soul beasts rushing towards him below, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He naturally saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as well. Although he didn't recognize the creature, he could roughly tell from the aura it emitted that the bloodline of this soul beast was probably no weaker than that of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.

Besides this guy, countless soul beasts also rushed in from several other directions.

Jiang Ming even sensed a 100,000-year-old soul beast! However, the 100,000-year-old soul beast seemed to be concealing itself with its spiritual power, so his current spiritual power perception was somewhat blurry, yet it had a strange sense of familiarity.

That's the Evil Eye Tyrant?!
As the stronghold of the Evil Lord, the Demon Forest is not a strange place to find the Evil Eye Tyrant, who has cultivated for 100,000 years.

However, this means he will have to deal with more than just a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
However, it's not necessarily true; these two soul beasts might be useful.

As Jiang Ming thought to himself, he channeled his soul power into his body bones.

The next second, a huge golden-purple chrysanthemum bloomed on Jiang Ming's chest, and a refreshing fragrance was released from Jiang Ming's body.

In fact, Jiang Ming's body, after being cleansed by various forces, was already a rare and precious treasure.

Putting everything else aside, even a single drop of Jiang Ming's blood has a very obvious aphrodisiac effect.

This is the result of being tempered by various forces such as the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the power of life.

Normally, Jiang Ming has to actively control the scent on his body, otherwise even Soul Masters with lower cultivation levels will be affected by the aphrodisiac effect of this scent.

But now, Jiang Ming is actively using his soul power to stimulate the Qirong Tongtianju soul bone, fully bringing out this flavor!
In the eyes of the soul beasts, Jiang Ming had now become a divine medicine!
That alluring, seductive fragrance is enough to drive any soul beast mad!
boom!
When Jiang Ming released his aura, not only those powerful soul beasts, but even those soul beasts that had been around for hundreds or thousands of years, instinctively ran towards him.

This is an instinctive desire!
The soul beasts' instincts told them that as long as they swallowed this immortal herb, they would receive an extremely powerful and terrifying boost!

A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast directly evolves into a one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast! A one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast directly leaps into a two-hundred-thousand-year-old ferocious beast!

The Dark Demon God Tiger immediately abandoned the four weak humans in front of it and pounced directly on Jiang Ming in the air. Compared to the evolution of life levels, these four fodder were utterly unappealing!

Meanwhile, the Evil Eye Tyrant, who had been hiding in the shadows, could no longer hold back. Tentacles stretched out from the space, ready to possess Jiang Ming!
