Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 413 Entering the game
Luo Minghua curiously placed his hand on the lid of the lead box, about to open it, when Yue Guan stopped him, saying:
"Young friend Luo, don't be in a hurry."

As he spoke, Yue Guan looked at the ghosts, and then they released their soul power to isolate the camp from the outside world.

"Okay, you can open it now."

Seeing their behavior, Luo Minghua's expectations for the soul bone in the lead box increased several times over.

The fact that two enshrined figures could work together to create a soul power barrier to isolate the camp from the outside world indicates that the soul bone in the lead box is definitely not simple; it must be at least a top-grade soul bone that is over 50,000 years old.

He took a deep breath to calm his somewhat excited emotions, then opened the lid of the lead box, his eyes fixed on the inside.

The moment the lead box was opened, Luo Minghua felt a powerful magnetic field sweep over him, numbing his body for a moment.

"Such dense spatial power! This is..."

When Luo Minghua saw what was inside the lead box, his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. His hands trembled as he reached into the box and held up a piece of silvery-white torso bone in his palms.

Soul bones that are over 50,000 years old possess completeness, but only when a soul bone reaches 100,000 years old will this completeness be perfect.

The feeling conveyed to him by the soul bone in his hand was one of perfect and flawless beauty.

The surface of the torso bones was translucent, and the bone marrow flowed through the bones like silvery-white stardust. The pure spatial power contained within them captivated Luo Minghua, who was mesmerized by the reflection of the 100,000-year-old torso bones in his pupils, unable to tear himself away for a long time.

"Is this... for me?"

After a long while, Luo Minghua resisted the temptation and with great difficulty shifted his gaze from the torso to the two ghosts, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and asked in disbelief.

It's no wonder he asked that question; the benefits offered by those in the Papacy's camp who had tried to win him over before were far too meager, not even comparable to the meager amount the Temple of Worship had given him.

"Of course, of course, the higher-ups are very generous for you."

Yue Guan smiled sincerely, giving Luo Minghua a boost of confidence.

The "above" he referred to wasn't Bibi Dong, but Lin Rong, so his tone was quite sincere, and I believed him seven or eight parts just by listening to his voice.

In order to lure Luo Minghua, the inheritor of the spatial legacy, into the scheme, they were willing to use a 100,000-year-old torso bone as bait, completely unafraid that the scheme would fail and be wasted.

"Young friend Luo, to show our sincerity, we can give you this soul bone right now. You can even absorb it right in front of us without any problem."

"But this soul bone isn't given to you for free. If you accept it, you need to make sufficient contributions on the battlefield to prove that you are worthy of its value."

"You have one hour to consider. If you do not make a choice after one hour, we will assume that you have given up this opportunity, we will take back the soul bone and leave, and we will pretend that nothing happened today."

Upon hearing this, Luo Minghua's mind raced as he analyzed the pros and cons.

The Spirit Hall is divided into the Pope's faction and the Hall of Worship faction.

Each of the two factions has a god, but the Temple of Worship faction only has him as the inheritor of the god, so the Temple of Worship gives him far more treatment and resources than one can imagine.

However, things cannot be viewed so simply. The resources that can help a Soul Master cultivate are very limited, and Soul Bones are the strongest resource among these limited resources, surpassing everything else.

The Hall of Offerings values ​​him highly, but they cannot, and will not, produce a 100,000-year-old torso bone, especially one with spatial attributes. He does possess one 100,000-year-old soul bone, a water-attribute right leg bone he snatched from a Title Douluo during the battle of Seagod City.

Even though the attributes weren't a perfect match, the benefits he received from that 100,000-year-old right leg bone far exceeded the sum of the other two 10,000-year-old soul bones.

If a mere right leg bone, which has mismatched attributes and is the worst among the six common soul bone positions, can bring him such good fortune, then a torso bone, which has matching attributes and is the most precious among the six common soul bone positions, will surely bring him benefits beyond his imagination.

In particular, the pure soul power remaining in the torso bones told Luo Minghua that this was a soul bone that had never been absorbed by a soul master.

Absorbing the residual soul power from a 100,000-year-old soul bone can increase one's soul power by at least four levels.

He is now a level 75 Soul Saint. After absorbing this 100,000-year-old torso bone, he is only one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo, and has taken another big step on the road to inheriting the position of Space God.

"Sure, how do you want me to cooperate?"

A few minutes later, Luo Minghua made his choice.

"No rush. The battlefield is ever-changing. We need to see when Tian Dou sends out enough people for us to take action. After all, once the enemy has launched such a surprise attack, it will be difficult to replicate the effect of the first one."

Yue Guan's smile grew even brighter, like a blooming chrysanthemum. Seeing Luo Minghua's hesitant expression, she smiled and said:

"Stop being coy, just take it if you want, we'll protect you here."

The aura of the 100,000-year-old soul bone was astonishing. This aura would not disappear until it was completely absorbed. With two Title Douluos covering up the aura of the soul bone, Luo Minghua was naturally more than happy to agree.

During the absorption process, Yue Guan, the ghostly figure, started chatting idly via telepathy:
"Old ghost, how many of the eight extraordinary meridians have you opened? I've opened seven, and the last one, the Governing Vessel, is just a little short of being opened. Once I absorb the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone bestowed by His Majesty, I might be able to open the Governing Vessel in one go. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to break through to level ninety-eight."

"Tch, what's there to be proud of? Your martial soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and the immortal herbs you absorbed are also Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemums. Both your martial soul and immortal herbs have the miraculous effect of opening up the eight meridians. You still haven't been able to open up the eighth meridian, doesn't that show that your aptitude is poor?"

"Although I have only opened up six meridians, and the Ren and Du meridians are still a little short, I was a living dead before. Even though I absorbed immortal herbs and improved, it is still much more difficult for me to open up the eight extraordinary meridians than for ordinary people."

"Hmph, you're just jealous!"

……

Several days passed.

The armies of the two great empires were assembled around the same time.

After such a long period of preparation, the first battle of this major war will inevitably be extremely brutal, a veritable hell on earth, a meat grinder.

In addition to a large number of ordinary soldiers, the army also has a small number of Soul Master legions composed entirely of Soul Masters.

In this respect, the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall, as a combined force, far surpass the Heaven Dou Empire in the number of Soul Masters. However, due to the explosion at the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall lost more than 70% of its elite Soul Masters.

In particular, the Angel Legion, as the strongest legion of the Spirit Hall, had always been stationed in Spirit City. As a result, it was very fortunate to be affected by Tang Chen's Nine Rings Explosion and, along with the entire Spirit City, became part of the ruins.
