Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 80 Time and Plan

It has been calm for some time recently, without any big splashes.

There was no big movement in the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue was still in her dormant period, and Tang San was still developing rapidly.

Even in the case of the theft in the imperial palace treasury, in which the national treasure, the Hanhai Qiankun Water Cover, was lost, Emperor Xue Ye chose to conceal the matter and conduct a secret investigation for the sake of the royal family's reputation.

As for Lin Rong, the power in his hands has been initially formed, and everything is developing steadily and in an orderly manner.

Ever since he had Dugu Bo and the Gai Shi Long She couple under his command, Lin Rong no longer had to do many things himself, but instead left them to them.

As for Lin Rong himself, he devoted all his attention to practicing the Xisui Sutra and comprehending his soul, striving to break through to the realm of "saving all living beings by appearing and hiding".

Half a year passed in a flash.

One day, in the courtyard.

Lin Rong is practicing multitasking. While engraving a seal with his hand, he is also using his mental power to do six things, including making tea and copying famous paintings.

On the side, the dragon soul of the Nine-bend Vine Dragon was strolling leisurely in the courtyard, and from time to time it flew into the lotus pond to tease the koi.

Suddenly, a swallow with cloud-blue feathers flew into the courtyard.

When the playing Nine-Twist Vine Dragon saw the Spine-tailed Swift, it flew up to it and took off the secret letter tied to its ankle.

Afterwards, the Nine-bend Vine Dragon flew into the bamboo pavilion and placed the secret letter on the table.

After seeing the secret letter, Lin Rong did not stop engraving, but instead devoted more attention to using his mental power to control the secret letter and open it.

Soon, Lin Rong finished reading the contents of the secret letter.

Then, there was a flash of blue lightning, and the secret letter turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

On the table, an unheld pen was writing something on the paper.

After writing, the paper folded itself and floated in the claws of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon.

The Nine-Twist Vine Dragon flew obediently to the Spine-tailed Swift and stuffed the paper in its claws into the small mailbox at the Swift's ankle.

Seeing that something had been stuffed into the small mailbox again, the spine-tailed swift stopped licking its cloud-blue feathers, flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and flew towards somewhere at an extremely fast speed.

A quarter of an hour later.

After Lin Rong carved the last character "謙" in the seal, he put down the carving knife in his hand.

"Tang San just broke through to level 30 yesterday, and Dai Mubai also broke through to level 30 today. The two happened less than a day apart. It's really fate."

As he spoke, Lin Rong picked up the freshly brewed Phoenix Dancong tea and tasted it slowly.

"At this moment, Tang San is ten years and four months old. Compared to the original novel's twelve years and seven months when he broke through to level 30, this is two years and three months earlier."

"It seems that proper encouragement is still very effective."

"Qian Renxue is still a Soul King because she neglected to practice. According to her current practice progress, it will take another one or two years for her to break through to the Soul Emperor."

"In this way, according to Tang San's current training progress, in another five years, Tang San should have the strength to compete head-on with Qian Renxue."

"That is to say, in about five years, it will be time to seize the Tiandou throne."

After drinking a cup of tea, Lin Rong poured himself another one and continued to taste it.

Tang San broke through to level 30 more than two years earlier than in the original novel, but Dai Mubai broke through to level 30 at the age of thirteen in the original novel, and he still broke through to level 30 at the age of thirteen now.

They are both thirteen years old, which is just one or two months earlier than in the original book.

The secret letter just mentioned that when Dai Mubai breaks through level 30 this time, Yu Xiaogang will go with him to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls, and only Flanders will be accompanying them.

Lin Rong sipped his tea leisurely, thinking:

"The Star Forest is full of dangers. This is a good opportunity."

"It just so happens that I just achieved Soul Saint not long ago, which is the best time to implement that plan."

nine months ago.

The preliminaries for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament were held at the Tiandou City Soul Fighting Arena.

At that time, Shi Nian, as the vice president of Canghui College, led a group of students from Canghui College to participate in the competition.

Lin Rong had originally planned to find time to subdue Shi Nian, and this time Shi Nian came to him on his own, saving him the trouble of running to Canghui College to look for him.

Shi Nian's martial spirit is called Canmeng, a special martial spirit with substance but no form, which can produce all kinds of illusions. For ordinary spirit masters, especially those with weak mental strength, Shi Nian, who is vindictive, is definitely an extremely difficult and ruthless character.

But after Lin Rong broke through the state of "empty mind and self-transformation of body", the state of mind given to him by the Xisui Sutra allowed him to ignore all illusions and enchantment-like abilities.

Therefore, all of Shi Nian's soul skills are ineffective against Lin Rong.

With the old butler, the Titled Douluo, standing beside Lin Rong, the illusion that Shi Nian was proud of was ineffective on him.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Nian decisively and sensibly chose to surrender to Lin Rong.

At that time, Shi Nian was not yet a Soul Sage, but only a Soul Emperor of level 67.

Lin Rong's plan requires Canmeng's martial soul form "Nightmare". In order to allow Shi Nian to break through to the Soul Saint level earlier, he generously took out a top-grade herb with psychedelic effects for Shi Nian to absorb.

After absorbing the herbs, Shi Nian broke through to level 68 on the spot. Eight months later, Shi Nian finally broke through to level 70.

Because the plan requires the "Nightmare" to be as powerful as possible, Lin Rong asks Dugu Bo to take Shi Nian to the Sunset Forest to obtain the desired seventh soul ring.

The original novel does not specify how old Shi Nian's seventh soul ring was.

But this time, with the help of Dugu Bo, Shi Nian's seventh soul ring was taken from a 40,000-year-old demon eye tree.

Forty thousand years is the limit of most Soul Douluo's eighth soul ring.

……

The Spine-tailed Swift swooped down from the clouds and flew into a house.

The secret guard here took the paper from the small mailbox, opened it and read it quickly, then destroyed the paper and turned and walked into a secret room.

In the secret room.

After hearing the secret guard's words, Shi Nian's heart was filled with shock.

"I never thought that the current Pope Bibi Dong actually had an affair with that "famous" master Yu Xiaogang."

"I never expected that the former pope would do such a despicable thing."

Shi Nian showed a rare gossipy look, with a blazing fire in his eyes, and he imagined in his mind a love story of two men and one woman that subverted all other people's views.

"However, how did Your Excellency know about such a private matter?"

"Moreover, the Lord wants me to use nightmares to make Yu Xiaogang recall the sweetest moments of his relationship with Bibi Dong in his sleep."

"In addition, I will create an illusion so that Yu Xiaogang can learn the truth about Bibi Dong's 'betrayal' of him in the illusion."

"What is your purpose in asking me to do this?"

Shi Nian couldn't figure it out and fell into deep thought.

……

What is the purpose of letting Shi Nian do this?
In the courtyard, under the bamboo pavilion.

Lin Rong put down the teacup in his hand. The reason for doing so was naturally:
The stronger the hatred in Bibi Dong's heart, the easier the Rakshasa Divine Test will be, and the faster the test will progress.

But on the other hand, the stronger the love in Bibi Dong's heart, the more difficult the Rakshasa Divine Test will be, and the slower the progress of the Divine Test will be.

In this world, there are only three people who Bibi Dong cares about, namely her first love Yu Xiaogang, her daughter Qian Renxue, and her apprentice Hu Liena.

Because of the hatred in her heart, Bibi Dong has never been able to recognize the love she has hidden for her daughter.

Although Bibi Dong also treats Hu Liena as her daughter, in essence, Hu Liena is just a substitute for Qian Renxue.

Only Yu Xiaogang, the first love that Bibi Dong met when she was just beginning to fall in love, occupies the most important place in her heart.

Therefore, as long as Yu Xiaogang is willing to reconcile with Bibi Dong, whether Bibi Dong agrees or not, her love for Yu Xiaogang will inevitably be magnified.

This unforgettable love will make it extremely difficult for Bibi Dong to make progress in the Rakshasa God Test, and will greatly delay the time for Bibi Dong to inherit the Rakshasa God position.

And this is exactly what Lin Rong wants to achieve.

He didn't believe that after learning the truth of what happened that year, Yu Xiaogang would resist finding Bibi Dong to explain everything.

Even if Yu Xiaogang could really hold back, he would let Shi Nian give Yu Xiaogang psychological hints in the illusion, constantly strengthening the idea of ​​Yu Xiaogang going to find Bibi Dong.
