Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 185: Big Changes in One Year

Time flies, the time has passed between our fingers, winter comes and summer goes, summer begins and spring ends, a year has come round and round.

During this year, Chen Junting participated in many missions in the inner courtyard. During this period, he did not encounter many evil soul masters, but he saw a lot of the filth behind the scenes of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Facing the great enemy of the Sun and Moon Empire, they were still stabbing each other in the back.

Although it is not known whether there was any instigation from high-ranking officials of the three empires behind this mutual stabbing, many lower-level officials who harmed civilians of other countries were dealt with by the Shrek Supervisory Group.

It can be said that secretly, the three empires have already stirred up quite a stir.

Moreover, he also exchanged a lot of secret techniques in the Shrek Inner Court with his merits. After a little research, although some of them might not be useful at the moment, they could at least expand his knowledge. It was good that when he needed them in the future, he would not be helpless without them.

For example, replacing the soul skills originally in the soul ring of a soul beast with self-created soul skills.

In addition, inside Shrek Academy.

As for the students, Ning Tian, ​​Bei Bei and others have also been admitted to the inner courtyard in recent months, and have successively broken through to level 50 in recent times.

Now, of the outer courtyard students who participated in the last Soul Fighting Competition, only Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng, and Wang Dong have not joined the inner courtyard. However, in addition to Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Wu Feng have also reached the level 40 bottleneck, and they are only one soul ring away from breaking through.

But after they broke through, no matter who they were, they were not in a hurry to obtain spirit rings. Instead, they waited until there were suitable old or dying spirit beasts in the academy, and then signed contracts with them to obtain souls.

After all, during this year, Shrek Academy's soul research has made a huge breakthrough. The first is the way to contract souls. Under the guidance of Alex, Chen Junting created a soul contracting formation based on magic arrays, which can achieve the purpose of contracting souls by simply drawing the array with soul power. And so far, no other living person can set up this soul contracting formation except Chen Junting.

Secondly, after many experiments, the soul contract has been able to reduce the error rate to an extremely low level, and it has also tested the physical fitness, mental strength and other aspects that the soul master needs to achieve when contracting a soul.

It can be said that all that is missing is the right opportunity, and this soul method can be made public.

In fact, the Soul Technique should not progress so fast. After all, only a very small number of soul beasts raised in the Shrek Beast Fighting Forest have reached old age and are willing to sign a contract.

But when Di Yao joined the inner courtyard and gained the trust and strong training of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, and after she broke through to the Soul Emperor level and successfully contracted a soul, the soul beast problem seemed to disappear.

Whenever Shrek Academy entered the Star Dou Great Forest to search for soul beasts, old soul beasts would seek them out as if possessed by evil spirits, and then allow Shrek’s people to take them back for soul experiments.

At the beginning, everyone was panicked.

This situation even prompted Moon to go out in person and personally enter the Xingdou Great Forest to investigate the situation. But before he could find out anything, an 80,000-year-old earth demon tiger that was on the verge of death and extremely suitable as Xuanzi's eighth soul ring ran into him.

This made Moon En think that this soul beast was trying to scam him!

When he ran towards him, he seemed full of energy, but when he got next to him, he became dying before he could even touch him.

This forced Moon to hastily end his exploration trip.

But this trip also allowed Moon to see some things.

Anyway, after he returned to Shrek Academy, he issued an order to Shrek teachers and students in the name of Poseidon Pavilion: Anyone who encounters an old or dying soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest can feel free to spare its life and bring it out. After returning to Shrek, whoever delivers it will be rewarded, depending on the situation.

Invisibly, it maintains a tacit understanding with the Star Forest.

……

In the early morning, when a ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and gently fell on Chen Junting's face, he slowly opened his eyes.

As if being awakened by the gentle morning light, the fatigue from completing the mission yesterday also disappeared at this moment.

A warm breath came from behind him. A pair of delicate hands held a coat and gently draped it over his shoulders. The movement was gentle and delicate, so Chen Junting, who had known the person coming, gently pressed his palm on the back of the hand that was as warm as jade.

That gentle voice also sounded behind him.

"It's time to get up."

"It's still early. What time is it now?" Ning Tian, ​​who already knew the time, did not answer him. He turned around and walked in front of Chen Junting, pulled out his right hand, and buttoned up his clothes, just like a newlywed wife.

In fact, after Ning Tian was admitted to the inner courtyard, she did not choose an apartment to live alone. Instead, she moved into Chen Junting's apartment and lived with him, declaring her belonging to Chen Junting with her actions.

This made many of the inner courtyard seniors who had secretly fallen in love with Chen Junting feel very disappointed, and also made many seniors feel relieved. After all, there were more wolves than meat in the inner courtyard, and after the strongest competitor withdrew, their chances would be greater.

"I know you're tired, but today just isn't the day."

Ning Tian took out a wet towel and wanted to wipe Chen Junting's face, but he took it by himself. However, he did not stop talking, "Don't forget, Yuhao and the others will leave for Maple Leaf City tomorrow, and they are still waiting for you to contract souls for them."

"I still need this."

Putting the towel aside, Chen Junting stretched and said, "Hasn't the Soul Contracting Formation already been set up at the Soul Research Institute? Just proceed as normal as before. Just like you, successfully contracted the King Kong Baboon Soul."

"Then you have to say goodbye to them."

Ning Tian tugged at Chen Junting's arm and pulled him up from the bed. "Anyway, we won't see each other again until three years later."

"That makes sense."

Chen Junting also knew that Ning Tian's previous words were all joking. In fact, like He Caitou, the real reason why he had not yet contracted a soul was that his cultivation had just broken through not long ago, and he had not found a suitable old soul beast yet.

If there is no suitable soul beast before leaving the academy, then he can only hunt for soul rings first.

"By the way, Xiaotian, how are the Tang Sect's hidden weapons doing?"

As he was getting dressed and preparing to go out, Chen Junting suddenly recalled their proposal to the Tang Sect. As he had been very busy for more than a year, he did not pay much attention to it for a while.

But now Huo Yuhao is going to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. If he doesn’t have anything outstanding, it will be difficult to recruit the Soul Guidance Research Institute’s head, Xuan Ziwen.

Chen Junting is determined to get this person.

As for the reason, there is naturally no need to say more.

If he could join the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, the sect would definitely give him a natural treasure to help him break through to level 90. After all, the only thing that limited him from becoming a level nine soul instructor was his cultivation.

Therefore, if he hadn’t yet acquired the Tang Sect’s hidden weapon craftsmanship, Chen Junting would have planned to let Huo Yuhao give the array pattern soul guide a try.

However, Ning Tian's words also made Chen Junting put his mind at ease.

"Don't worry, we succeeded half a year ago."

Ning Tian smiled cleverly, "The cooperation was reached very happily. Except for the one about hidden weapons, the other cooperation methods all adopted the cooperation model between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago. However, Brother Beibei and Sister Xiaoya lowered the requirements a lot."

"Ten thousand years ago... It seems that the Tang Sect will never be able to rise again."

Chen Junting shook his head and passed a verdict on the future of the Tang Sect. Because from this point alone, it can be seen that the Tang Sect still has not kept pace with the times. Can it be the same ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years later?

Ning Tian was speechless when he heard this, and even wanted to agree.

Because she had long seen that Beibei and Tang Ya were just talking about revitalizing the Tang Sect with passion, but lacked a plan for the future. The entire Tang Sect was only doing two things: first, recruiting people with high expectations but low skills; second, waiting for cooperation.

Isn't this just funny!

While the two were talking, they soon arrived at the Soul Research Institute. At this moment in the institute, He Caitou also happened to complete his soul contract, a ten thousand year old golden mammoth!
　The method of replacing the original soul skills in the soul ring of the soul beast with self-created soul skills → I borrowed this from Beibei. The fifth and sixth soul skills are both Mu Lao’s self-created soul skills.
