Douluo: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 82 Soul Hunting
For Jiang Li, the reason why it took him half a year to break through to level 50 was more because of what he wanted to pursue at the moment. In addition to his own swordsmanship, he also had to help the Tiandou Royal Team 1 with training.

But Jiang Li didn't have many complaints about this. After all, he remembered Chen Xin had told him that blindly pursuing something might not necessarily lead to a good result.

For Jiang Li, the past six months have been more about experiencing life in the academy.

But now, Jiang Li has already experienced the life of this academy, and has already made a good start in the Tiandou Royal Team.

He had a different idea. When he returned home and told Dugu Bo about it, he was met with opposition as expected.

"What? Xiao Li, you want to go out and travel around the continent alone? No, no, even though you have broken through to level 50, you are still only a Soul King even after you obtain the fifth soul ring. And you still need at least a year to practice. You should know what will happen in the meantime. I remember you were not like this at the beginning."

At this moment, Dugu Bo, while expressing his objection, looked at Jiang Li with a worried look.

Looking at Dugu Bo's reaction, there was not much surprise in Jiang Li's eyes. Instead, he slowly began to explain.

"Master, my previous cultivation was too shallow, so I naturally had to focus on cultivation first. But now I have reached a bottleneck, and I need to be alone to find the answer."

"I know you might say, go with me or something, but that way I won't be able to see the truest side of this world. I know clearly that if I want to find my own sword path, I have to go on this trip."

As Jiang Li spoke, he quickly added a few more sentences because he knew it very well.

If I show my determination to travel, given Dugu Bo's temper, he might consider going with me.

But traveling with bodyguards all the time was not what Jiang Li wanted.

Dugu Bo saw that Jiang Li had already made up his mind and even told him his plan in advance. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and spoke in a compromising tone.

"Okay, Xiao Li, I know your character. Since you have said it so firmly, you must have considered it for yourself. I can agree to let you go, but you must write to me every month to let me know where you are. Otherwise, if something happens to you, I won't know where to find you in this vast continent."

After seeing that Dugu Bo agreed, Jiang Li's eyes couldn't help but be filled with a hint of joy.

Seeing Jiang Li like this, Dugu Bo spoke unhappily.

"Look at your attitude, brat. You're not leaving right away. You haven't even found your fifth spirit ring yet. Besides, have you made all the preparations before departure?"

After hearing Dugu Bo's last words, Jiang Li instantly understood what he meant.

That was to explain to Dugu Yan. His family also knew about it, as he and Dugu Yan had been getting along closely for the past six months.

He and the other party also developed some special feelings, but at this critical juncture, he suddenly said that he wanted to leave for a year.

How should he explain this to the other party? Jiang Li unfortunately had a headache for a moment.

Seeing Jiang Li like this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh, then turned and left.

After thinking for a night, Jiang Li had no good ideas for the time being, so he could only plan to follow Dugu Bo to hunt for the fifth soul ring.

More than three years later, when Jiang Li and Dugu Bo came to the Xingdou Great Forest again, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask what type of fifth spirit ring Jiang Li should choose.

"Xiao Li, how many species do you want to consider for your fifth spirit ring?"

Jiang Li had already found the answer to this question half a year ago.

After all, he was going to follow the path of Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. The first four soul rings had already replenished his origin, and his martial soul had also evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor.

For the next soul ring, Jiang Li would naturally choose an animal-type soul beast with strong aggressiveness.

"Regarding my fifth soul ring, I would like to choose a soul beast with a gold attribute, because I am following the path of swordsmanship. I hope that my fifth soul skill can bring about a qualitative change in my blue silver grass. As for the age, maybe 20,000 to 30,000 years." Dugu Bo did not show much surprise at Jiang Li's answer.

Because before coming here, he had already checked Jiang Li's physical fitness and mental strength.

They have both reached a level close to that of Soul Emperor, so Dugu Bo was not too surprised that Jiang Li had to absorb soul rings to reach the level of Soul Emperor.

This time, the two did not stay in the periphery for long, but traveled all the way, and only stopped after they arrived at the area where the ten thousand year soul beasts were most active.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li summoned out his Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit.

The moment Jiang Li's martial spirit appeared this time, the countless blue silver grasses around him knelt down towards Jiang Li involuntarily, emitting emotions of sincerity and joy.

After seeing this scene, Dugu Bo was somewhat accustomed to it. After all, it was the same the last time he brought Jiang Li here to hunt soul rings.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li sat cross-legged, released his mental power and used the blue silver grass to search for a soul beast that was most suitable for himself.

After half an hour, as several blue silver grasses continued to report, Jiang Li's eyes could not help but show strange colors.

Because almost every one of them meets Jiang Li's standards.

Just when Jiang Li was worried about this, a five-hundred-year-old blue silver grass brought Jiang Li a message.

In an instant, Jiang Li immediately discarded all the soul beast targets in his mind that he had previously thought were good, and even those that had troubled him.

The only news left is brought by this five hundred year old blue silver grass.

But at the same time, after Jiang Li stood up, he looked at Dugu Bo and couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.

"Xiao Li, I don't like you beating around the bush with me. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Despite this, Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Well, Master, I've taken a fancy to a soul beast, but I'm a little worried about your..."

After seeing that Jiang Li actually began to question him, Dugu Bo was immediately dissatisfied. He directly displayed his aura, causing all the soul beasts around to avoid him, and then looked at Jiang Li's exit and said.

"Xiao Li, did you misjudge your master's strength? How can I, a Titled Douluo, help you hunt a soul beast that you need for your fifth soul ring? What's the matter? Your fifth soul ring wants to absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring."

The reason why he said this was that after Dugu Bo took the magical herb, not only did his martial soul evolve, but his cultivation speed was also nearly twice as fast as before.

During these three years or so, Dugu Bo had just broken through level 95 and was now only one step away from level 96.

Dugu Bo was full of confidence at the moment. He wanted to find someone to fight after breaking through level 96. Now that he saw Jiang Li questioning him, he was naturally very dissatisfied.

But Jiang Li also knew all of this. Finally, under Dugu Bo's somewhat unfriendly gaze, Jiang Li slowly spoke out the name of the soul beast.

"Master, the soul beast I'm interested in is a 30,000-year-old dark gold terror claw bear."

At first, when Dugu Bo heard about the soul beast that was only 30,000 years old, his brows were already furrowed. He didn't know if he was crippled or what, but Jiang Li actually thought that he couldn't even deal with a 30,000-year-old soul beast.

But after thinking about the last experience, he suppressed his emotions. Only after Jiang Li finished saying the name did Dugu Bo become petrified on the spot.
