Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 124 Appearance
The Heavenly Dou Imperial City, the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire, is much more solemn than before.

To the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire, it seemed that the empire had now welcomed a strong and unyielding emperor.

The Kingdom of Barak submitted, something that previous emperors had failed to achieve, and this emperor accomplished it in just one year, without even deploying an army.

"Young Master, the Serpent Spear has returned."

While Qian Renxue was dealing with state affairs, a voice rang in her ears; it was the soul power transmission of the Bloodthirsty Douluo.

"So fast! Could something have gone wrong?"

“No, it doesn’t seem like it. The Serpent Spear’s aura is normal, and it has something important to discuss.” From the shadows, the somewhat obese Bloodthirsty Douluo appeared. He did not encounter the Serpent Spear, but only sensed its subtle aura appearing in the palace.

Although the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, especially around Qian Renxue, is now filled with Qian Renxue's people, and there are no other Title Douluos here, so they don't have to worry about being discovered when they release their aura, the two of them usually don't release their aura to avoid being noticed.

"Let's go, I'd like to see what news Uncle She brought back." Since She Long has returned, he has obviously completed his previous arrangements, but the speed is a bit too fast.

"What about these?"

"Don't worry about it, it's all trivial matters." Qian Renxue put down her work. She had more important things to do now and didn't want to spend her time on the Heavenly Emperor's affairs.

The two figures disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, and no one around noticed anything unusual.

"Young Master!" In a study, Serpent Spear hurriedly stepped forward as Qian Renxue and Bloodthirsty Douluo entered.

"Uncle She, what's going on?" Qian Renxue asked anxiously.

"I ran into Ding Quan and a few others."

"Is that so!" Qian Renxue paused in her walking, then gestured for She Long to continue.

"They appeared in Snowfall City of the Duchy of Bilge. One of the kingdom's people offended them, so they directly attacked the people of the Snowfall Earl's Mansion and eliminated the leaders of several major kingdoms there."

"According to our information, that's a backup plan that the major kingdoms have prepared for themselves, and the leaders are all at the Soul Douluo level." Thorn Blood was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this. The relationship between the Heavenly Dou royal family and the major kingdoms is currently strained, and war could break out at any time.

The nobles of several kingdoms, including the royal family, supported the relocation of some of their clansmen to the Duchy of Bilgi, the easternmost part of the continent, where war would not immediately affect them. This can be seen as leaving a way out for their families.

Therefore, the leader of the team was naturally not weak. The strength of the major kingdoms was not weak, otherwise they would not have completely broken away from the control of the Heavenly Dou Empire and become completely autonomous, essentially a country within a country.

Although none of the major kingdoms possessed titled Douluo, they still managed to find some Soul Douluo, just like the Heaven Dou Imperial Family; otherwise, they wouldn't have considered breaking away from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Snowfall City is located at the border of several kingdoms, so people from those kingdoms stayed in Snowfall City.

Those leaders were quite powerful; even the Serpent Spear Douluo would have difficulty defeating them, yet they were dealt with by Ding Quan and his group.

"Uncle She, are you referring to their strength?"

"Could it be that"

“That’s right, their strength might not be below mine, and Ding Quan wasn’t there at the time.” She Long nodded in response to his friend Ci Xue’s incredulous gaze.

"You mean Ding Quan didn't make a move?"

"Yes, only Bingling and Hupo showed up at the time, but now there is one more person among them. It seems that Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy has joined them."

"Shui Bing'er? She is indeed incredibly talented." It seems that this is the person that Ding Quan and the others believe has the potential to become a god. Qian Renxue is also aware of Shui Bing'er's talent, after all, she had thoroughly investigated Ding Quan and the others before. Shui Bing'er can be said to be the genius who is closest to them.

Shui Bing'er has probably become a Soul Emperor by now. A Soul Emperor in her early twenties, her talent is already no weaker than mine.

Qian Renxue touched her brow. Beneath the disguise, there was a golden sword pattern, the mark of the Angelic Holy Sword and proof of her nine trials as an angel.

Once the nine tests of the angels are completed, one can inherit the angelic position and ascend to the divine realm.

Shui Bing'er, whose talent is no less than her own, does indeed have the potential to become a god, and the other three are naturally even more so.

“Young Master, in my opinion, Ling’s strength is already on par with yours, and Ding Quan’s strength is probably far beyond yours,” She Long said again, looking at Qian Renxue who was deep in thought.

"Really? What else?" Qian Renxue did not question it. She Long would not lie to her. Without Ding Quan's intervention, the two of them had dealt with the powerful figures from those kingdoms. Their strength was beyond doubt.

Defeating a Soul Douluo is simple, but resolving the issue is not easy; only those whose strength far surpasses that of a Soul Douluo can achieve this.

The strength of an existence far surpassing that of a Soul Douluo is self-evident.

"My subordinate asked them to help deal with the people of the Kingdom of Yinfeier. Ding Quan and I—no, I meant to make a deal with the young master—and my subordinate agreed. Now they've taken care of it, and the news will arrive soon." She Long hadn't expected the other side to act so quickly, taking action just one day later. The main members of the Yinfeier royal family were now gone.

“As I said, if we encounter them and it's a transaction, I can agree to their conditions. Uncle She, there's no need to worry.” Qian Renxue saw that She Long's expression was very serious, and she was afraid that the contents of this transaction were somewhat difficult for She Long to accept.

This instruction was given after I returned to Wuhun City and began the Nine Trials of the Angels.

Perhaps with the help of that cockscomb and phoenix tail sunflower, Ding Quan, who fought me before and whose strength and talent were no less than mine, could really become a god.

Therefore, he spoke to the two titled Douluo about this matter, saying that if they were to make another deal, he would agree to all their conditions, since this might be an attempt to win over a future god.

"What Ding Quan wants is a left leg bone with fire attribute that is over 100,000 years old."

"What! A 100,000-year-old soul bone!" Ci Xue's voice was somewhat hoarse. A 100,000-year-old soul bone was an immeasurable treasure. Even the current Spirit Hall did not have one, let alone specify the location of the bone.

“Young Master, that kid Ding Quan said you can do it. He said you don’t need a 100,000-year-old soul bone. You only need to hunt a 100,000-year-old fire-attribute soul beast to get it, and it’s just recently.” She Long’s expression became extremely serious as he spoke. He knew clearly that Qian Renxue had already reached level 80 and only needed one soul ring to become a Soul Douluo.

"Recently hunted a 100,000-year-old soul beast? A 100,000-year-old soul bone." Qian Renxue stood up upon hearing this. She indeed did not need a soul bone. The Spirit Hall had a complete set of Angelic Divine Armor. As long as she absorbed it all, they would all reach the age of 100,000 years.

I never expected Ding Quan to know me so well. I do indeed possess four soul bones. Is it because of Ding Quan's eyes?
He still has torso bones and left leg bones that he hasn't absorbed yet. If he hunts a 100,000-year-old soul beast, then the soul bone that drops is indeed very likely to be his left leg bone.

"That kid also said that with you already possessing four top-tier soul bones, plus your martial soul, Young Master, you can definitely do it!"

"is it?"

"I suspect that Ding Quan and Ling probably possess 100,000-year soul rings, otherwise they wouldn't have such great strength." She Long was quite surprised at the time. Ding Quan had communicated these things to him directly through mental transmission, and the other party's mental strength was far superior to his own, which made him guess the reason why Ding Quan and the others were so strong.

The fact that he had his young master hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast made him even more certain of his guess.

Considering the terrifying strength of those two, what could have enabled them to improve so much in just one year? A 100,000-year soul ring and a soul bone are obviously the most likely possibilities. Although this conclusion is indeed hard to believe, those people are monsters after all.

"what!"

"Uncle She, could you please make another trip?"

"Where?"

"Go to Wuhun City to find my grandfather."

"Young Master, you..."

Ding Quan returned to Jinshi Village once again. After visiting the old village chief Ace and the villagers who had helped him before, he went to the valley where he used to cultivate in the distance to continue his training.

Ding Quan's soul power has now reached level 79, just one level away from becoming a Soul Douluo.

"It seems I'll be stuck at level 79 for quite some time." Ding Quan finished his cultivation and felt that although his soul power had increased somewhat, the speed was still quite slow.

"Your soul power level has increased too much at once, and it's unlikely that you can increase it again in a short period of time."

Within the sea of ​​spirit, the voice of the Snow Emperor echoed. Ever since her sacrifice to Ding Quan, the Snow Emperor had been guiding Ding Quan in his cultivation.

"That's true." To increase one's soul power by more than ten levels in a short period of time, while still at the Soul Saint stage, is something that was unthinkable before.

"If you want to improve again, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until you've fully adapted to your current cultivation level and the soul core you've condensed." The Snow Empress sat atop the golden dragon's head. The golden dragon and the Suanni's souls were currently very quiet, but in the Snow Empress's perception, their auras were slowly increasing, only one step away from the level of 100,000 years.

“Indeed,” Ding Quan said, standing up. Most of the spiritual energy he was absorbing was now directly integrated into his body, and his physical strength was increasing, although not by much.

Even a slight improvement in one's current strength would result in a significant increase.

"Will that person give you that 100,000-year-old soul bone?"

"Probably." Ding Quan wasn't really sure. He learned from Serpent Spear Douluo that Qian Renxue hadn't absorbed her eighth spirit ring yet, which is why he had the idea of ​​obtaining the 100,000-year-old fire attribute left leg bone through Qian Renxue.

Moreover, although Serpent Spear Douluo agreed to his conditions, the decision was not in his hands.

Qian Renxue now possesses four soul bones, and the one she hasn't absorbed is her left leg bone.

Hunting a 100,000-year-old soul beast will inevitably result in a soul bone that the soul master has not absorbed.

Qian Renxue has a high probability of obtaining the left leg bone from hunting a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Of course, it could also be the torso bone, but the torso bone is the most important of the six soul bones, and its drop rate is much lower than that of the leg bone.

The best soul beast for Qian Renxue right now is naturally one with a fire attribute, since she absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Sunflower, which boosted her fire attribute strength.

Although he could hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts, he currently had no clues about fire-attribute soul beasts. The Qian family of the Spirit Hall, on the other hand, must have a lot of information about fire-attribute soul beasts, and they might even know some about those over 100,000 years old. As for hunting them, he had no need to worry about that.

He had almost revealed to Serpent Spear Douluo the possibility that he and Ling possessed 100,000-year soul rings. If Qian Renxue knew, given her personality, she would probably hunt down 100,000-year soul beasts.

If my guess is correct, the Angel God did not bestow a spirit ring upon her, otherwise Qian Renxue in the original work would not have been without a single red spirit ring before becoming a god.

If one is granted a spirit ring by the gods, even if the first few spirit rings are not red, the ninth spirit ring will definitely be red.

Then there's only one possibility: Qian Renxue obtained all her spirit rings by hunting spirit beasts.

Perhaps in order to speed up her ascension to godhood, she did not acquire high-age spirit rings. As a result, although the age of her spirit rings increased after she became a god, the configuration of her spirit rings was far inferior to that of Tang San and Bibi Dong. As the first to become a god, she was the weakest.

Qian Renxue needs a soul ring, but she has no shortage of soul bones.

Having a complete set of soul bones, Qian Renxue doesn't need any other soul bones. As for whether she'd be willing to give them to herself, she'd be, given her intelligence. After all, in the original story, Qian Renxue was willing to give up two Super Douluo to win over Tang San, who had killed her father. And now, she seems to be no less capable than Tang San.

As for whether Qian Renxue's eighth spirit ring can absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring, it shouldn't be a problem. A year ago, when I fought Qian Renxue, her strength was already comparable to a titled spirit ring, and her physical strength was the same.

"That's good. Now that we have a fire-attribute soul bone, all that's missing is an earth-attribute one. Do you have a target? Or is it that ancient alien species in the Star Dou Forest right now?" Xue Di learned of Ding Quan's thoughts from his memories, and Ding Quan didn't hide these things from Xue Di.

"If you, Snow Empress, don't know any other earth-attribute soul beasts, then it's the only one left." Ding Quan nodded. The ancient exotic species in the Star Dou Great Forest was the Titan Giant Ape.

Without a doubt, the Titan Giant Ape, which possesses a gravity field, is an earth-attribute soul beast, and its talent is extremely powerful.

Suddenly, a terrifying chill burst forth from not far away, causing Ding Quan to pause slightly, and then he felt a slight tremor in his soul power.

"That Ice Phoenix Soul Master is already barely able to use the Sovereign's Reign." Xue Di floated out directly from Ding Quan's spiritual sea and said upon seeing a surge of soul power mixed with spiritual energy in the distance.

“Ling used to be able to make the Ice Phoenix display the ultimate ice with the Ice Mirror Illusion, so it’s natural that she can learn quickly with Ling’s guidance.”

"Indeed, Bing'er's talent is also extremely strong. Now that she's helping you improve your cultivation, your speed can be even faster."

"That's fine too."

Ding Quan took out a box from his storage soul tool; it was time to hand it over to her.

Meanwhile, in a dense forest.

A man with dark blue hair appeared out of thin air, holding a huge hammer in his hand.

Footsteps sounded, and a burly figure appeared, looking at the unconscious man with some relief.

The two figures then vanished from the spot, and the remaining pale white residue on the surrounding grass and trees slowly dissipated, proving that someone had been there.
