Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 127 Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena

"Are there acquaintances among them?"

"Yes, that Netherworld Cat Soul Master you used to follow."

"Zhu Zhuqing?" Ding Quan looked at Wei'er's somewhat teasing gaze and knew who Wei'er was referring to.

"And it seems she and Hu Liena have become friends."

"Yeah."

Zhu Zhuqing, formerly one of the Shrek Seven Devils, has been missing for many years. The last time I saw her in the Shrek team, she was a Soul Master. I don't know when she left Shrek or where she went.

Ning Rongrong had previously approached Ling and Wei'er to ask if they had seen her.

Zhu Zhuqing is actually with Hu Liena from the Spirit Hall.
Ding Quan was somewhat surprised to hear that the two of them had appeared together in Binhai City to inquire about Ling Wei and his companion, as well as himself.

As a member of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing is unlikely to join the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall members come from all over the continent, including the Star Luo Emperor, and they would naturally not exclude people from the Star Luo Empire.

However, Zhu Zhuqing actually became friends with Hu Liena. It seems that Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation has improved very quickly in the past few years. After all, Hu Liena is now a Soul Emperor. To become friends with someone like that, one's own strength must not be too weak.

"They went so far as to use their own names to find us, Quan, should we meet them?" Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were people who had worked together in the Killing Capital. Hu Liena had helped them a lot in helping them quickly reach 100 wins.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, Ling glanced at Ding Quan, who was deep in thought. This Netherworld Cat Soul Master's departure from the White Tiger Soul Master and her departure from the Shrek Academy team was largely due to Ding Quan.

If Ding Quan hadn't arranged for Wei'er to meet with Zhu Zhuqing and shared those speculations, Zhu Zhuqing would have participated in the Continental Soul Master Tournament two years ago with the Shrek Academy team, and might be at Shrek Academy now instead of with Hu Liena from the Spirit Hall.

Judging from the current situation, Ding Quan's guess is probably true.

The Zhu family of Xingluo has not gone looking for Zhu Zhuqing, so it seems that Zhu Zhuqing leaving home and arriving safely in the Tiandou Empire was indeed her sister's doing.

The same goes for that White Tiger Soul Master. For a prince of a nation to escape from the Star Luo Imperial City to the Heaven Dou Empire with the strength of a second-ring Soul Master, it seems that his elder brother showed mercy.

The people of the Star Luo Empire must know that the White Tiger Soul Master is in the Heaven Dou Empire. In the previous Soul Master Competition, Dai Mubai appeared at the competition as the captain of the Shrek Academy team. However, the people of the Star Luo Empire did not take any action and let him return to Shrek Academy.

However, considering the current identity of the Heavenly Dou Emperor, war between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire may break out soon. And now, a prince of the Star Luo Empire and the third young lady of the Star Luo Zhu family are in the Heavenly Dou Empire. These two will probably soon be drawn into the conflict.

"Meet them?" Ding Quan looked at Ling and slowly nodded.

"We are now being watched by many forces, but those forces are wary of our strength and have not taken any action yet. Among these forces, the strongest is the Spirit Hall."

"Moreover, many forces want to know why we are so strong and why we cultivate so quickly, and quite a few soul masters are also inquiring about our soul skills."

Ling glanced at Shui Bing'er standing behind Ding Quan. Although their soul power levels were not high, their true strength was already among the top in the continent. Unless they encountered a Title Douluo, they would not be able to put any pressure on them.

Among them, Shui Bing'er's soul skills are already known to many forces, after all, she participated in the Soul Master Competition, and her soul skills are the most obvious.

“Although we have no conflict with the Spirit Hall, and even have a good relationship with that person there, Quan, you said that the Spirit Hall is now ruled by the Pope. We are a threat to the Spirit Hall, and Hu Liena is the Pope's only disciple.” Ling’s meaning was clear: the Spirit Hall was very likely to cause trouble for them, since their potential could indeed threaten the Spirit Hall’s position.

The fact that a Soul Emperor can rival a Soul Douluo is enough to shock any force, including the Spirit Hall.

Although the Spirit Hall's next move is unknown, it is clear that they have already taken action, which is why Hu Liena is searching for the group in Binhai City.

Hu Liena had a good relationship with his group, and the Spirit Hall probably wanted to see what their attitude was through her.

"Indeed, we should meet her." Ding Quan said no more, and he also wanted to know why Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena got together, and what the reason was for them becoming friends.

"When shall we set off?"

"nighttime then."

"Well."

As a disciple of Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, holding a status equivalent to that of an Elder of the Spirit Hall. To become an Elder of the Spirit Hall, one must reach the level of a Title Douluo.

The appearance of such a person in this coastal city naturally caused a huge sensation.

However, thinking of the few people who have been making headlines on the mainland recently, and that the Demon Swordsman is a Soul Master who came from Binhai City, the Soul Masters of Binhai City are also shocked, and at the same time, they are a little arrogant.

At this moment, inside the Martial Soul Hall of Binhai City.

A deacon who had awakened his martial spirit walked out of the main hall, flattered and excited. He hadn't expected that the Holy Maiden of the Martial Spirit Hall would have something to ask him.

This person is none other than Deacon Yun, who awakened Ding Quan's martial soul. Over the years, his strength has reached the Soul Venerable level, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he may be trapped at this level for the rest of his life.

"Ding Quan's innate soul power is really only level four!" Hu Liena looked at the file she had found in the Binhai City Martial Soul Archives. Although she already knew the information on it through the Martial Soul Hall, she still found it hard to believe.

“His martial spirit is completely different from when he awakened it; it has become extremely strong now.” A woman with a rather voluptuous figure, dressed in a black leather jacket and of somewhat tall stature, said, looking at the alluring woman in front of her with dark purple eyes.

"The same as you? But it's not just him, Wei'er's martial soul has also changed." Hu Liena stretched out her arms. The only thing about the woman's martial soul was its appearance, which was that of a Netherworld Cat. However, her abilities were completely different from those of the Netherworld Cat Soul Master she knew.

Two years ago, when he and Wei'er separated, her martial soul, the Dark Gold Thunder Tiger, did not have wings. But now, not only has she broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, but her martial soul has also grown wings.

"I heard that Wei'er's sixth spirit ring isn't black, but gray. Perhaps she absorbed a very special spirit beast's spirit ring." Zhu Zhuqing held up the information on Ding Quan and the others, which included information about the color of Wei'er's spirit ring. "Moreover, when I first met Wei'er, her spirit wasn't the same as before, and her fifth spirit ring had a layer of purple, the same color as the purple lightning she possessed."

"You mean that Vera's martial soul mutated twice after absorbing those two spirit rings?" Hu Liena nodded. Absorbing spirit rings could indeed cause changes in a martial soul, but the probability was not high. "It wasn't mutation, but evolution."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Hu Liena with a meaningful gaze. She had learned from Wei'er when she was at the second level that absorbing a soul ring that suited her own attributes could allow her martial soul to evolve. Therefore, she abandoned the family's traditional soul skill combination for her third soul ring and enhanced her own dark attribute.

After absorbing the third spirit ring, his talent was slightly improved. Even though it wasn't very noticeable, it still allowed him to reach level 40 faster.

With Ning Rongrong's help, he found the most suitable soul beast for his fourth soul ring, without exception.

This is a ghost cat that has been around for thousands of years.

Absorbing this spirit ring was somewhat difficult, but thanks to the fact that his own spirit was the Netherworld Cat, he escaped unscathed.

Perhaps because this spirit ring was so suitable for him, his spirit power increased by two levels.

And I finally know the attributes that suit me best.

Death comes first, then the dark attribute!
This is the attribute boost I received after absorbing the Netherworld Cat's Soul Ring.

After absorbing this spirit ring, his talent was significantly enhanced. Although he had planned to find Wei'er and the others, he wondered why they would help him for no reason. So he made up his mind and went directly to the place with the strongest death attribute.

Death Canyon.

His decision was indeed extremely correct. The dark and mysterious places in the Death Canyon were the perfect place for him to practice his mimicry skills. So, in a very short time, coupled with his improved talent, he quickly became a Soul King.

However, with his strength at the time, he was not able to hunt the spirit beast for his fifth spirit ring on his own, so he wasted a lot of time in the Death Canyon.

Finally, they encountered Hu Liena, who had also entered the Death Canyon for training and was already a Soul Emperor, and she helped them with her special soul skills.

Later, with their help, he hunted a top-tier soul beast that was extremely suitable for him, successfully broke through to the Soul King level, and broke through several levels in succession. Moreover, the attributes of this soul ring were very suitable for him, and his soul power improved even faster when he cultivated in the Death Canyon. Afterwards, he became friends with Hu Liena in the team.

With the addition of more than a year of cultivation, his soul power has now reached level fifty-seven.

After hearing about the major events happening on the mainland, he came out to see them at Hu Liena's invitation. He had been staying in Death Canyon for almost five years, and it was time for him to take a break.

“Evolution, indeed.” Hu Liena looked at the woman in front of her, whose figure shocked her. Her strength was far greater than that of the Netherworld Cat Soul Master she knew. Her Martial Soul should also have evolved, but it was not visible from her appearance. “But to evolve a level 4 Innate Soul Power to the level of a Demon Sword is not something that can be achieved simply by absorbing Soul Rings.”

Hu Liena knew the strength of Ding Quan and the others. In a place like the City of Slaughter, they couldn't use their soul skills, but their strength seemed to be unaffected.

The power they wielded with their Martial Souls was no different from that of their Soul Skills. They had mastered an extremely sophisticated self-created Soul Skill, and their mental strength even made this Soul Master, whose Soul Power surpassed theirs, feel inferior.

"Yes, their strength wasn't given to them by their martial souls. They were already extremely strong from the very beginning." Zhu Zhuqing, who had participated in the Great Soul Arena before, knew that the other side had won all the way. Soul Masters of the same level couldn't even force them to use their soul skills. Even she was the same. Even if they were of the same level, their strength would still crush her.

I thought I might be able to fight them now, but I didn't expect that they already had the strength of a Title Douluo.

Becoming a Title Douluo was their goal, yet they achieved it in just a few years.

"I wonder if they're still around this coastal city."

"They should be here!" Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed. A sense of oppression came from outside. She had felt this oppression before when facing Wei'er, and she didn't expect it to be the same now.

"You two! Long time no see!" A voice boomed in Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing's minds, causing their expressions to change. What kind of trick was this!
Before their very eyes, several figures flew over from a distance and appeared directly in the main hall.

"Long time no see, you two really surprise me." Hu Liena looked at Ding Quan and Ling, who flew over without using their martial souls. Sure enough, the information was correct. These two might really have the strength of a Title Douluo. She originally thought it was through their soul bone skills, but now there was nothing unusual about them.

"Hu Liena, and Zhu Qing, you've surprised me too." Wei'er greeted the two of them, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power has now reached level 57, such a rapid improvement is too fast.

Its attributes have become much stronger, and it even possesses a soul bone and a cat's paw?
Ding Quan's golden-red eyes stared at Zhu Zhuqing's right palm, where there was a clear soul power reaction, and the aura on it was completely identical to hers. This was a soul bone that was perfectly compatible with her.

Despite absorbing the Dark Gold Terror Claw for so long, the aura of that soul bone still differed from Wei'er's and couldn't be made the same.

Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned dark purple. Is this a death attribute? And this attribute is not much different in strength from her dark attribute.

It seems that Zhu Zhuqing has now found the attributes that suit her and absorbed the soul rings with these attributes, thus enhancing her talent.

"I originally thought I could put up a fight against you now, but it seems I still can't." Zhu Zhuqing said, looking at Wei'er, who hadn't changed much from a few years ago, only looking more mature. She still felt a pressure emanating from her.

“You have improved a lot over the years, but I have also had some opportunities.” In the past few years, my improvement has been greater than that of Zhu Zhuqing in front of me. With my extreme attributes, it was much more difficult for me to improve my soul power than for Zhu Zhuqing, but now my soul power level has completely surpassed that of Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing knew about the encounter that Wei'er mentioned. She had learned from Hu Liena that they had been to the City of Slaughter and had come out of it, obtaining a talent domain called the God of Slaughter Domain.

"What do you want with us?" Ding Quan asked directly when Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything more.

"You're still so direct." Hu Liena paused for a moment. "On behalf of the Spirit Hall, I extend an invitation to you once again."

"Is that so? But you should know what we're thinking."

"I've said too much, but you should be careful lately. Not only is the Spirit Hall looking for you, but many other forces are also inquiring about you, and they might even take action against you." Hu Liena didn't try to persuade her again, or rather, she knew that saying more would be pointless.

"Oh?" Ding Quan frowned. Given the strength they were displaying, no force would dare to make a move.
