Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 91 Background
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Shi Yi, then left with Jian Gu and Ning Rongrong.

Shi Yi brushed Zhu Zhuqing's temples and chuckled, "You follow Master's Wife, and I will go with His Holiness the Pope."

These words were full of meaning. Everyone in Shrek knew who he was guarding against. Feeling the gazes of the people around her, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but blush and nodded slightly.

Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a bit more emotion and regret in her beautiful eyes as she, as the Pope, knew where the Nether Spirit Cat came from. Shi Yi had to face a country. Fortunately, Shi Yi's potential was huge. If he was an ordinary soul master, he would have the same result as she did back then.

Soon, as everyone from Shrek Academy left, Shi Yi also followed Bibi Dong and walked slowly.

"You have a good vision. The fourteen-year-old Soul Sect master, even the current Queen Xingluo, is probably not as good as this little girl." Bibi Dong spoke slowly with light lotus steps.

Shi Yi chuckled and said, "You're flattering me. Actually, in terms of talent, Zhu Qing is the worst in Shrek, but her personality is the most suitable for cultivation. Perhaps it's also due to the pressure Xing Luo has put on her. As long as it can make her stronger, she will do it."

"It seems that you are better than your teacher in teaching." Bibi Dong sighed softly.

"Thank you for the compliment." Shi Yi repeated softly.

Bibi Dong suddenly remembered something and asked Shi Yi, "What do you think about Tang Hao's situation?"

"The more Ning Fengzhi is wary of you, the more you are doing the right thing." Shi Yi chuckled.

"Since you understand everything, are you still planning to return to Tiandou?" Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi and said softly.

Hearing this, Shi Yi said with emotion: "I originally planned to go back, but I just confirmed my relationship with Zhu Qing a few days ago. Once a person has a weak spot, he will always have many more concerns about what he wants to do."

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi with a look of realization on his face and asked, "You knew Tang Hao was in the dark a long time ago? That's why you didn't accept my invitation in public?"

Shi Yi nodded and smiled, "What if Tang Hao wants to kill me? I dare not bet my life on your speed. You must be wondering why Tang Hao would target that skull."

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi and nodded, saying: "Although the Haotian Sect has been secluded from the world for many years, a great Haotian Douluo would not abandon his reputation for a soul bone."

Shi Yi chuckled and uttered four words, "The City of Slaughter."

Bibi Dong paused for a moment after hearing this, but then a look of realization appeared on her face. "No wonder, even the Haotian Sect can't find such a suitable soul bone in a short time."

Bibi Dong's gaze returned to Shi Yi. "It seems that you have more knowledge than I thought."

"The age of that skull is also very good. It can be said to be second only to a hundred thousand year level soul bone. It can not only improve a certain level of physical strength, but also assist Tang San in entering the Slaughter City. It is perfect for laying the foundation for Tang San." Shi Yi chuckled.

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi suspiciously and said, "You need to understand where you stand now. You seem very happy that Tang San has become stronger?"

Shi Yi shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "If Tang Hao wants to take away that soul bone, I can't resist from my perspective. With the great Haotian Douluo secretly protecting me, I can't kill Tang San. What else can I do except laugh? Are you going to turn against me? Instead of becoming a thorn in the eyes of others, patience is the most correct approach. Isn't this consistent with your opinion, Master's wife?"

Hearing Shi Yi's words, Bibi Dong couldn't help but nod repeatedly. Looking at Shi Yi, a trace of heartache flashed across her beautiful eyes. But when Shi Yi said the last name, Bibi Dong paused slightly and a little unnaturalness flashed across her face.

"Don't call me by this name in the future in the hall. It will bring trouble to your teacher. Just call me Aunt Dong in the hall. Aunt Dong will protect you and help you grow up safely." Bibi Dong said softly, her gentle gaze slowly falling on Shi Yi.

Shi Yi's heart warmed when he heard this, he looked at Bibi Dong and smiled, "Auntie Dong."

Bibi Dong raised her hand and gently rubbed Shi Yi's head, saying softly, "Let's go."

Soon, the two came to an empty hall. There was nothing in the hall, but there were six patterns on the walls, which were exactly the same as the patterns on the Pope's decree.

Bibi Dong then took out a golden object from her soul guide. The next moment, Bibi Dong accurately shot the golden object in her hand into a groove on the wall.

Feeling the fluctuation of soul power on it, Shi Yi was a little surprised and asked: "Soul guide?"

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi and chuckled, "Yes, it is a soul guide. Xiao Yi also studies soul guides?"

Shi Yi nodded slightly and said, "There are some results, but this research is too expensive, and there are many materials that I cannot forge with my current level, so it has been put on hold."

Bibi Dong also nodded gently and said: "Well... personal cultivation is still the most important. When you have cultivated to a certain level, you will have a lot of time for you to study."

As the two were talking, Shi Yi could clearly feel the entire hall shaking slightly. Soon, a staircase leading downwards appeared in front of them.

Looking at the stairs going down, Shi Yi was a little surprised and said, "What's down there that's worth digging a hole in Pope Mountain to put these things in?"

"Let's go, this is the heritage of the entire Spirit Hall for thousands of years." Bibi Dong said proudly.

Shi Yi followed Bibi Dong curiously. Both sides of the stairs were inlaid with extremely bright metal, and there was no trace of darkness even when going deeper.

As he went deeper, Shi Yi felt the strange fluctuations of soul power.

"Xiao Yi, do you know what the standard is for measuring the strength of a force?" Bibi Dong said softly.

"The number of strong men?" Shi Yi asked tentatively.

Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "No, it's the number of soul bones."

Shi Yi was also shocked by the scene before him.

As the two were talking, they had already walked into a basement, which was more like a small warehouse, but what was placed on the shelves were not goods, but soul bones.

"Xiao Yi, the population can continue to increase, and geniuses will continue to emerge, but the thing that never changes is the soul bones. The number of soul beasts in the entire continent is constantly decreasing. Whichever force controls the majority of soul bones in the entire continent, then this force will be the number one force in the continent." Bibi Dong said softly.

Shi Yi nodded seriously upon hearing this. In this era when everyone only uses spirit skills to fight, the level of spirit power and the number of skills represent the level of combat effectiveness, and spirit bones are precisely the most critical things. "If Tang San hadn't cheated, how could he have defeated the Spirit Hall?" Shi Yi looked at the rows of shelves, starting with ten thousand year level spirit bones.

When it comes to the level of God, the gap cannot be bridged by numbers.

“Are you curious as to why the palace didn’t take out all these soul bones to create a large number of masters?” Bibi Dong chuckled.

Shi Yi shook his head and said, "Strong people also need goals to strive for, and if someone with bad intentions obtains powerful strength, it is not so easy to kill a Title Douluo. Too many Title Douluo will not only lead to hostility from other allied forces, but also cause an arms race. Soul beasts will suffer a catastrophic disaster, war will break out, and eventually the entire continent will be destroyed."

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi in surprise and nodded, "Yes, Xiao Yi, you are very insightful. Therefore, only those who have made contributions to the palace are allowed to come here to choose suitable spirit bones. Although this place is not big, there are more than 300 spirit bones that are at least ten thousand years old. Ordinary spirit bones are not worthy of entering this room."

"It doesn't feel like a lot." Shi Yi chuckled.

"Not many? There are only a hundred thousand soul masters in the entire continent, and my Spirit Hall accounts for 70%. If we want to hunt a ten thousand year soul beast and keep it at the Soul King level, we need the cooperation of many people. There are no more than 30,000 soul masters at the Soul King level and above in the Spirit Hall. With less than 30,000 of them, more than 300 thousand year soul bones have been produced, which is almost a ratio of one hundred to one. This ratio is far more than the probability of soul bones exploding." Bibi Dong said unhappily.

“When you think about it, it’s quite a lot. However, among these more than 300 soul bones, there shouldn’t be many that are more than 50,000 years old.” Shi Yi said with a smile.

"Oh? Then can you tell me why?" Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi with a testing look.

“Since the soul bones have fallen into the hands of the temple, it means that the person who needs the soul ring is not strong enough to kill the soul beast alone and needs the help of the temple. These soul bones are obviously the rewards received by the temple. As for soul beasts over 50,000 years old, they are often needed by Soul Sages and above. The older the soul beast, the higher the probability of soul bones exploding, and the higher the value. Masters who need such soul rings should have some connections of their own, just like you and me. If I need a soul ring, wouldn’t I have to trouble you to help me? The soul bones that explode at this time usually fall into the hands of soul masters, and some are even strong enough to hunt for soul rings alone.” Shi Yi chuckled.

Bibi Dong nodded and said, "Yes, ordinary soul masters still need to rely on the help of the palace to hunt soul rings, while high-level soul masters are more inclined to use their own abilities to obtain soul rings."

"Of course, Aunt Dong, you should be an exception." Shi Yi chuckled and joked.

"I have worked tirelessly for the palace, so it is my duty to use the resources within. Well, stop talking nonsense and go pick one yourself. If it is a soul bone left behind by predecessors, it will be marked with what skills the soul bone has. Sometimes the year is not very important when it comes to a suitable skill." Bibi Dong rolled his eyes at Shi Yi and said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi looked disgusted and said, "Wouldn't it be unlucky to take it off a dead body?"

"When you see a skill you really need, you won't think so." Bibi Dong chuckled.

Shi Yi and Bibi Dong were walking around. The soul bones in this room were even classified. It was not a simple classification of parts, but a classification of known and unknown skills.

There are not many known ones, several shelves are lined up together, and the unknown ones are divided into various attributes. This is also the only thing that can be judged from the soul power fluctuations of the soul bone.

"Compared to the skull and torso, I recommend that you prioritize the soul bones in the limbs." Bibi Dong said softly.

Shi Yi nodded slightly. The known skills dazzled him, and there were even some that made him very excited.

Bibi Dong also noticed Shi Yi's gaze, nodded slightly and said: "Well... this skill of increasing strength is very suitable for a soul master like you who is developing towards the extreme. It can give you a higher upper limit."

Shi Yi shook his head slightly, and soon his eyes fell on a leg bone. When he saw that leg bone, even Shi Yi couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

The left leg bone of the Void Netherworld has an additional skill: Void Netherworld. The user enters a state of nothingness, becomes immune to physical attacks, and his breath disappears. It cannot be detected unless the difference in strength is too great.

"I want this." Shi Yi instantly pointed to the piece of void and dark leg bone.

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi, understood, and nodded: "Hmm... a very good agility attack spirit bone, combined with the speed of that little girl, although the martial spirit is a little worse, it may not be impossible to surpass the ghost."

After saying that, Bibi Dong raised her hand slightly and used her soul power to capture the soul bone that faintly emitted the aura of the underworld. It slowly floated in front of Shi Yi.

"Thank you, Aunt Dong." Shi Yi said with a smile.

"Well... for you, it's okay not to absorb soul bones. If you have the chance, you can meet one that suits you better. Only when the soul ring and soul bone come from the same soul beast can the strongest power be exerted." Bibi Dong said with a smile.

Shi Yi nodded slightly.

"Okay, now that you have got your things, you can go back to the hotel first. I will arrange your tasks tomorrow." Bibi Dong said with a smile.

Shi Yi looked at Bibi Dong with some surprise and said, "Aunt Dong, I just got here. Have you assigned me any tasks?"

"What? Do you think the things in your hand are for free? And the other two soul bones, I gave you three at once, shouldn't you help me with the work?" Bibi Dong said with a raised eyebrow at Shi Yi.

Shi Yi smiled and said, "How can that be possible? I just got here and I'm not mentally prepared yet."

"Okay, go ahead. That old fox Ning Fengzhi is probably still waiting for your news." Bibi Dong chuckled.

"Now that you mention that, I suddenly don't want to go back." Shi Yi said with a bitter face.

"Who told you to provoke the daughter of that old fox Ning Fengzhi? You deserve it." Bibi Dong has been the Pope for so many years, so Ning Rongrong's attitude towards Shi Yi naturally could not be hidden from her eyes.

Shi Yi also felt a headache after hearing this.

"Okay, in Wuhun City, Ning Fengzhi doesn't have the guts to kill anyone under my nose. Even if you don't go back, he won't have anything to say." Bibi Dong said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi nodded helplessly.

Soon, Bibi Dong brought Shi Yi out of the treasure house slowly.

"Let's go, Aunt Dong." Shi Yi greeted Bibi Dong. Seeing Bibi Dong nod in response, Shi Yi quickly disappeared towards the hotel.
