Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 424 Taking the Kitten Away

After a long separation, the bed in the hotel room kept shaking until the sun was high in the sky the next day. Dugu Yan walked out of the room with a rosy complexion and her eyes showed no signs of fatigue from not sleeping all night. Instead, they were filled with flowing water.

After lunch, Ning Bei teleported Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan to the Ice God Palace, where they would absorb the soul bones. Since the soul bones were of a high age, it would probably take them some time.

No one would disturb the two of them absorbing the soul bones in the Ice God Temple, so Ning Bei did not stay inside to protect them, but instead turned around and called Zhu Zhuqing to her side.

"Zhu Qing, you should have received a divinely bestowed soul ring after yesterday's assessment, right?"

"That's right, there is indeed a divinely bestowed soul ring among the assessment rewards. This time, I want to try to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring."

It's no secret that the divinely bestowed soul ring can grant the user the soul ring with the current limit of its lifespan, and the soul skills generated will be very suitable for the user's martial soul. Seeing that her friends have successfully absorbed 100,000-year soul rings, how could she let go of this opportunity?
"The divinely bestowed soul ring is indeed excellent, but I suggest you save it until you reach the Soul Douluo level before absorbing it."

"Hmm? Has Brother Ningbei discovered a soul beast that's suitable for me?"

The kitten's eyes lit up. If Ning Bei could say that, then she must have found a high-age soul beast that was extremely suitable for her. A sense of anticipation rose in her heart.

Ning Bei nodded in agreement with the kitten's guess. There was still a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest. Adhering to the principle of not leaving a single hair for the little bastard, he planned to take Zhu Zhuqing to hunt down the Evil God Tiger and absorb its soul ring.

As a feline, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's spirit ring is definitely a better fit than Tang San's hammer in the original story.

"Brother Ningbei, can I know what kind of soul beast it is?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's bright and excited eyes, Ning Bei organized her thoughts and began to work on her mindset. After all, although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring was good, it was not a 100,000-year soul ring.

"In the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a soul beast called the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which possesses six attributes: evil, space, time, lightning, power, and wind. It is a beast king-level soul beast whose bloodline surpasses that of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python."

"Really? Then...should we go now? What about the assessment?"

Upon hearing that it was a tiger-type spirit beast with a bloodline surpassing that of Da Ming and Er Ming, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer contain her excitement; she was eager to improve.

"Um, don't rush me, I haven't finished introducing myself yet."

"Yes, Brother Ningbei, please go ahead."

Ning Bei shook her head speechlessly, causing a hint of embarrassment to creep onto Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face. She secretly thought to herself that she really couldn't keep her composure.

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is good, but it has a drawback: its cultivation is only around 60,000 years. Although it is stronger than many 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it cannot give you a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone."

After saying all this, Ning Bei looked at the kitten without saying anything more. She thought the kitten would hesitate and consider it, but she didn't expect the kitten to agree without even a moment's hesitation.

"No need to think about it, Brother Ningbei, I'll listen to you."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing staring straight at her, Ning Bei felt a sense of unease.

"Why? You should know that if you absorb a divinely bestowed soul ring, you have a very high chance of obtaining one."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, not fixated on having an extra red spirit ring.

“Brother Ningbei, since you mentioned the existence of this soul beast, it must be very suitable for me. This kind of opportunity is rare and hard to come by. I am willing to believe you.”

Ning Bei felt a warm feeling in her heart from being trusted without any reason, especially since the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was indeed suitable for her.

"Alright, after Rongrong and Yanzi finish absorbing the soul bones, you'll come back to the mainland with me. I'll send you back after you obtain your soul rings." "Understood, Brother Ningbei!"

Three days later, Ning Rongrong, her eyes filled with shock, pulled Ning Bei aside and whispered:

"Brother, how come this soul bone has two soul skills? Could it be a 100,000-year soul skill?"

Looking at Dugu Yan behind Ning Rongrong, Ning Bei noticed that she had the same expression. He was afraid that the two of them would refuse to absorb the soul bone if they knew that it was over 100,000 years old, so he didn't say anything. Now, he found their terrified little expressions quite cute.

"What you two absorbed wasn't a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

"Phew, I knew it! Where did Mom get a 100,000-year-old soul bone? It gave me quite a fright. This soul bone is actually pretty good; it even gave me two soul skills."

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it wasn't a 100,000-year-old soul bone. The moment they discovered that the soul bone had granted them two soul skills, they had the same thought: Am I worthy?
But Ningbei's next words immediately put the two of them in their place.

“You absorbed soul bones that were over 300,000 years old, and those two soul beasts were the original Ice God’s pets.”

"Forehead"

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and then she said anxiously:

"Brother, why did you give me such a high-age soul bone to absorb? You should give it to Grandpa Sword or Grandpa Bone!"

"Yes, Abe, even if it were given to Grandpa, it would be more useful than letting me absorb it."

Ning Bei tapped Ning Rongrong on the head and glared at the two of them with annoyance.

"You two are just relying on the old man's waist to hug him, living your whole lives depended on their protection? You need to try to change your mindset. You are the future strongest people on the continent, why do you have to rely on your elders?"

"Forehead"

Ning Bei's words left the two speechless. Indeed, as he said, having grown up under his wing, they hadn't been able to change their mindset properly. Especially Ning Rongrong, as a minor support, she subconsciously felt that it was better to leave the good soul bones to the battle soul masters, and that she could just do some work in the back. Absorbing a 100,000-year soul bone would be a waste.

"Alright, I'll protect Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone from now on."

Ning Rongrong's expression gradually returned to normal, and her eyes became more confident, which made Ning Bei raise an eyebrow instantly.

"Looks like I've acquired an offensive soul skill?"

"Yes, brother, in addition to gaining the life-saving skill Ice Phoenix Rebirth, I also gained the area-of-effect attack skill Glacier Storm. From now on, I will not only be a support."

Amused, Ning Bei glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was accepting the responsibility, and then turned her gaze to Dugu Yan.

"Yanzi, what about you?"

"I have acquired a life-saving skill called Extreme Cold Embrace, which can envelop me in ice. During this time, all damage I take will be converted into soul power for me to absorb and heal myself. There is also a soul skill called Winter Curse. This skill is very strange and I need to test it to understand its effect."

Ning Bei nodded. Being able to give his sister and his woman two more powerful soul skills was a gain in itself.

"By the way, I'm going to take Zhu Qing away for a while. There's a soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest that's perfect for her, and I plan to use it as Zhu Qing's seventh soul ring."
