Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Tiandou City, Tangmen.

Tang San rushed back to Tang Sect as fast as he could, but the scene before him made him feel depressed. Tang Sect disciples were busy cleaning up the wreckage, and the ruins were filled with a burning smell. Tang San clenched his fist unconsciously, his knuckles turned white due to the force, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Shi Yi..." Tang San murmured in a low voice, his tone mixed with anger and unwillingness.

Ning Fengzhi stood aside, his expression indifferent, his eyes calmly sweeping over the mess in front of him. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was lamenting Tang San's immaturity and powerlessness. After a moment, he slowly walked to Tang San's side, his tone gentle but with some deep meaning: "Xiao San, it's a good thing that you asked Dugu Bo to help watch over it before you left. It's good that the people are okay. The base can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, but if people are gone, that would be a real loss."

Hearing this, Tang San clenched his palms tightly, his knuckles slightly whitening from the force. A trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed the emotion in his heart, nodded slowly, and whispered: "Uncle Ning, I understand."

Ning Fengzhi gently patted Tang San's shoulder, his tone was a bit consoling: "It's good that you understand. I suggest you move the sect to a safer place. Although the Li clan's residence is spacious, it is too remote and far away from the center of Tiandou. If a similar incident occurs again, the rebuilt sect will still not escape the disaster. Only make the other party have some scruples. Unless it is a last resort, they will not easily tear their faces and do things that will make the whole world enemies."

Hearing this, Tang San showed a hint of hesitation on his face. He understood Ning Fengzhi's words, but the Tang Sect was almost entirely established with the funding from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If he wanted to move to the core area of ​​Tiandou City, the resources and cost required would definitely not be something he could afford alone.

The only way is to exchange benefits. The only thing Tang Sect can currently offer is hidden weapons. Both the imperial nobles and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect are eyeing this piece of fat meat.

"Xiao San, you have to understand that if you want to get something, you must give it first." Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, with a hint of meaning in his tone, "The interests behind the hidden weapon are indeed huge, but you also know the current situation. Instead of holding on to it, it might be a better choice to turn the interests behind it into a bond."

Tang San gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ning Fengzhi and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ning, I understand what you said. Although I can't completely open up the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, I can accept the profit-sharing method. The proceeds from the sale of hidden weapons will be distributed proportionally. Under the monopoly of the Tang Sect, both you and the imperial nobles can get greater benefits. What do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Xiao San, you have to understand that there are many ways to make money. But the purpose of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the imperial nobles to obtain hidden weapons is not for sale, but for self-defense. This is the true meaning of hidden weapons."

Tang San frowned upon hearing this. He certainly understood the value of hidden weapons, but if everyone possessed hidden weapons, what would be the meaning of the Tang Sect's existence?

The two were silent for a moment, with a subtle sense of tension in the air. Tang San's eyes swept across the ruins in front of him, and finally spoke slowly: "Uncle Ning, the Tang Sect is willing to release the hidden weapons that can be mass-produced. This is the bottom line. As for the more advanced hidden weapons, not only are they in short supply, but they also require the use of our unique skills. I'm sorry I can't promise more."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and nodded when he heard this: "Okay, in that case, I'll go and try it."

Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi, with an intriguing light flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, with a bit of respect in his tone: "In that case, Xiao San will wait for Uncle Ning's good news."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, turned around and called to Chen Xin who was not far away: "Uncle Jian, let's go first."

Chen Xin came over in response, his martial spirit appeared in his hand, and the two of them flew up on their swords, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Tang San watched the two people leave, a sneer appeared on his lips. He knew in his heart that his only advantage now was that he was younger than Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong. As for Ning Rongrong, she would not be his plaything by then. After all, strength still had the final say in this world.

"Tang Sect's founder, I will definitely make the Tang Sect prosper in this world," Tang San said to himself, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

On the other side, Wuhun City.

Shi Yi lay leisurely on the rocking chair in his courtyard, squinting his eyes, enjoying the grapes handed to him by Zhu Zhuqing. The sun shone on his face, making him look particularly comfortable. Zhu Zhuqing sat beside him, gently putting the grapes into his mouth, her eyes full of tenderness.

Shui Bing'er stood aside, watching this scene, and couldn't help but snorted softly, with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Zhu Qing, you've spoiled him too much."

Before Zhu Zhuqing could respond, Shi Yi pulled Shui Bing'er into his arms at lightning speed. Shui Bing'er was caught off guard and fell into the rocking chair, squeezed together with Shi Yi. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing smiled and stuffed a grape into Shui Bing'er's mouth.

Shui Bing'er held a grape in her mouth, glared at Zhu Zhuqing helplessly, and muttered incoherently: "You went... to the Killing Ground without encountering any danger, right?"

Feeling the concern in Shui Bing'er's tone, Shi Yi smiled gently, lowered his head and kissed her on the side of her face, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, it's nothing. Besides, I didn't go to the Slaughter City at all."

"You didn't go?" Shui Bing'er was a little surprised. She looked up at him with confusion in her eyes.

Shi Yi raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile: "I'm going to Tiandou City and blow up the Tang Sect."

Shui Bing'er was stunned at first, but then a glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes. As smart as she was, she immediately understood the twists and turns. She asked softly, "Didn't His Holiness the Pope say anything yesterday?"

Zhu Zhuqing chuckled at this time, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "Xiao Yi has already won Sister Xue, so why would Aunt Dong think about those unnecessary things?"

Shi Yi smiled and nodded, his tone relaxed: "Yes, Aunt Dong didn't say anything yesterday, and didn't even ask me what I did."

Shui Bing'er felt relieved when she heard this. She leaned against Shi Yi's arms, sighed secretly, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. Just like Zhu Zhuqing said, she also felt that it was a good thing for Shi Yi and Qian Renxue to be together.

At this time, Zhu Zhuqing changed the subject at the right time, with a concerned tone in her voice: "Sister Bing'er is now only two spirit bones away from completing the test. Have you decided where to get them?"

"Hmm..." Shi Yi fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked down at Shui Bing'er in his arms, with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Bing'er, call Tian Meng out."

Shui Bing'er nodded, then closed her eyes and released a slight mental wave. Soon, the lazy voice of Tianmeng Bingcan rang in the minds of the three people: "What do you want from me?"

Shi Yi responded with his spiritual power: "If there are two soul beasts of more than 90,000 years, can you make them break through to the 100,000-year level?"

"Well..." Tian Meng paused, as if thinking, and then continued, "In addition to relying on cultivation, you can only devour the treasures of heaven and earth like me. Doesn't Bing'er's soul guide have the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow? That's a good thing."

"Can the Qianjun ants be eaten?" Shi Yi asked.

"Of course!" Tian Meng's tone was a little proud, and then he added, "Don't underestimate us soul beasts. Although our power also comes from blood, our bodies are much stronger than humans. This determines that soul beasts have a stronger ability to accept alien energy. The blood power of 90,000-year-old soul beasts is already very strong and stable. For natural treasures, no matter what their attributes, we can accept them all." Shi Yi nodded, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er, and said softly: "I encountered three 90,000-year-old Qianjun ants in the Xingdou Great Forest before. With the help of Aunt Dong, I killed one. If we can make the remaining two break through to the 100,000-year level..."

Before he finished speaking, Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing had already understood his intention. A hint of surprise flashed across Shui Bing'er's eyes, and then she asked in a low voice: "Do you want to use the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow to let those two Qianjun Ants break through to the 100,000-year level, and then hunt them down to obtain their soul bones?"

Shi Yi nodded, with a bit of confidence in his tone: "That's right. This way, not only can we solve Bing'er's soul bone problem, but we can also avoid the risk of facing a hundred thousand year soul beast directly. After all, the strength of a hundred thousand year soul beast is not a joke."

Zhu Zhuqing heard this and said softly, "This is a good idea. However, we have to make sure that the two Qianjun Ants will not pose a threat to us after they break through."

Shi Yi smiled slightly, with a calm tone: "Don't worry, Bing'er, you are a Titled Douluo now. With our cooperation, it will be no problem to ask Aunt Dong for help."

“Breaking through the 100,000-year level will cause a heavenly tribulation. After the heavenly tribulation, a 100,000-year soul beast will still be weak for a long period of time. As long as you seize the opportunity, there will be no problem.” Tian Meng’s voice rang in the minds of the three.

Shui Bing'er nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes: "If that's the case, when do we set off?"

Shi Yi thought for a moment, then said, "There is no time to lose. You guys get ready. I'll go talk to Aunt Dong to see if there are any Soul Douluos who are ready to break through in the palace. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.

After saying that, Shi Yi disappeared into the courtyard. A moment later, he was standing in front of the Pope's Palace, and slowly stepped into the solemn palace door.

Noticing Shi Yi's arrival, Bibi Dong slowly raised her head with a complicated look in her eyes. She looked at Shi Yi and nodded slightly in response, then sighed softly, with a bit of emotion in her tone: "No wonder you don't want to accept Nana."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi smiled and said with a hint of ridicule, "If I really get everything from you, Aunt Dong, you will skin me alive."

Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, a soft look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile: "Speaking of which, Aunt Dong also wants to thank you."

Shi Yi shook his head slightly, and said sincerely: "You are too kind. For the sake of the teacher, you still took good care of me even though I have not made any contribution in the palace. Whether from your perspective, Xue'er's perspective, or even my own perspective, this is what I should do."

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi, a trace of approval flashed in her eyes, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said softly: "Who said you didn't make any contribution? Didn't you blow the Tang Sect up to the sky? Well, what's the matter with you coming here this time?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi detailed his plan to use the natural resources and treasures to help the two Qianjun ants break through in order to obtain the soul bones. His tone was calm and clear, and it was obvious that he had thought it through.

"If you have a Soul Douluo who is about to break through, you can also come and get two hundred thousand year soul rings." Shi Yi added with a smile.

After Bibi Dong finished listening, a trace of thought flashed through her eyes, and then she asked softly with concern: "Do you want me to send you some more people? The two Qianjun Ants were quite powerful, even Guimei and Yueguan couldn't do anything to them for a while."

Shi Yi smiled and nodded, his tone somewhat casual: "It's up to you. Seniors who are free can come with us."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Then let Yueguan and Guimei accompany you. After all, you still have to help them break through. With them around, you will have more people to use and it will be more convenient for you to act."

When Shi Yi heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face, and he bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Aunt Dong."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, her tone somewhat doting: "Go ahead, be careful. If necessary, send a message back at any time."

Shi Yi nodded in agreement, then turned and left the Pope's Palace. His steps were brisk, and his eyes were shining with confidence. With the assistance of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, there would be no surprises in the success of this trip.

Walking out of the palace gate, Shi Yi looked up at the sky. The sunlight shone on his face, casting a warm glow. He took a deep breath and secretly thought about his next plan.

"Next, it depends on the luck of those two Qianjun Ants." He whispered to himself with a smile on his lips.

When Shi Yi returned to the courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, talking in low voices. Seeing Shi Yi coming back, they both raised their heads at the same time, with inquiring eyes.

"How is it? What did Aunt Dong say?" Shui Bing'er spoke first.

Shi Yi smiled and nodded, walked over to sit beside the two of them, and said in a relaxed tone: "Not only did they agree, but they also asked Seniors Yue Guan and Gui Mei to go with us. With them, the success rate of this operation will be higher."

Zhu Zhuqing heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "That's great. With the help of two Titled Douluo, our pressure will be much less."

Shui Bing'er also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face: "In this way, we only need to focus on helping the two Qianjun Ants break through, and leave the rest to the two seniors."

Shi Yi nodded, and then said seriously: "However, we can't take it lightly. After all, the Qianjun Ant is a 90,000-year-old soul beast, and its strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, once they break through to the 100,000-year level, their strength will skyrocket, and we must be fully prepared."

Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er nodded at the same time, and their expressions became serious.

"Then when do we set off?" Shui Bing'er asked.

Shi Yi thought for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow morning. Everyone, have a good rest tonight and get enough rest. Tomorrow morning, we will gather at the entrance of the Spirit Hall and then head directly to the Star Dou Great Forest."

The two nodded in agreement and then went back to their rooms to prepare. (End of this chapter)
