Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 47: Breakthrough! Titled Douluo and Past Events (Please Read!)

Lingdou City.

Unlike the extremely prosperous Shrek City, the oriental city of Lingdou City is more novel and advanced.

The most advanced soul guide technology of the Douling Empire is all used in this city. Although it is not as advanced as that of the Sun and Moon Empire, it does have a hint of futurism.

Speaking of which, when Lingdou City was expanded and renovated, it drew on the experience of the Sun-Moon Empire in urban development over the years, so from the inside out, you can indeed see some of the unique style of the Sun-Moon Empire.

In the quiet room of Shu family manor.

The faint golden light echoed with the surrounding walls made of white jade. A trace of golden lines continued to meander and climb, reaching its peak along with Yu Bingyan's aura. The golden light was completely integrated into the white jade wall.

"Level 87..."

The aura around her body gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on Yu Bingyan's pretty face, which had become more noble and elegant with the passage of time.

The sacred and bright torso bones and the red spirit warm jade that Shu Yan had people send back had a great impact on her cultivation.

Possessing an angel martial soul, she was already extremely talented, and now Shu Yan was the icing on the cake, which made her path of cultivation in the Soul Douluo realm increasingly easier and smoother. In just half a year, her soul power broke through three levels, and the speed was so fast that some veteran Soul Douluos of the Shu family were stunned, and they almost had envy written on their faces.

After continuing to regulate her breathing for a while, Yu Bingyan slowly stood up and stretched her waist. Her beautiful figure exuded a fascinating and fatal temptation, especially since she was a cold beauty. The interweaving of coldness and charm made it even more difficult to resist.

Pushing open the door of the quiet room, Yu Bingyan immediately noticed Shu Junyou standing under the corridor not far away.

The two smiled at each other. Years of tacit understanding made them telepathic. Often they only needed a glance to understand each other. When they were alone together, there was rarely any unnecessary verbal communication.

……

The couple strolled under the elegant and exquisite corridor, watching the ripples on the lake not far away. Yu Bingyan gently reached out and picked a golden flower. The flower was extremely delicate, but just a moment after it was picked, the petals began to fall and wither, just like the weather at this time, which was sometimes good and sometimes bad. It was sunny in the previous moment, but it became cloudy and rainy in the next moment.

"You...made a breakthrough?"

Yu Bingyan looked Shu Junyou up and down. For some reason, she always felt that Shu Junyou had a unique temperament today, which was completely different from before.

"Yeah, I broke through the night before last."

Shu Junyou nodded and spoke honestly.

Yu Bingyan was stunned when she heard this, and after a moment a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"That's good news. Did the old man tell me about hunting for the ninth spirit ring for you? If necessary, I can summon a few strong men to help."

Shu Junyou chuckled and then said:

"The old man has been recruiting people recently. Senior Tianyang, Senior Ye Ruize of the Ye family, the old man of the Han family, Han Feng and others, plus the two royal priests have all agreed to join. Shi Xing has also said that he wants to come and help. The manpower is basically sufficient."

"Two Super Douluo, six Titled Douluo, plus you and me, have basically met the requirements for this trip. There's no need to prepare any more manpower." Yu Bingyan wasn't surprised, but asked curiously:
"Judging from the lineup, this Soul Hunt has gathered nearly 70% of the country's top experts. Is our goal clear?"

Shu Junyou nodded, his eyes looking towards the east, and then he said slowly but firmly:

"Remember the Sea-Swallowing Whale King that appeared in the East China Sea? Our target this time is it, otherwise we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths."

"The ocean is different from the land. It's too vast and mysterious, and the creatures it breeds are endless. Aside from those lunatics in the Body Sect, I've never heard of any other force daring to enter the ocean and hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts. So, the risk we take in this soul hunting operation is huge..."

Yu Bingyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She looked at Shu Junyou's determined eyes and was silent for a while before she spoke softly:

"It's okay. Even though the ocean isn't our home turf, with Senior Tianyang and Senior Ye here, there won't be any accidents."

"Just consider this as exploring the way for A Yan. The hundred thousand year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are untouchable. Other soul beast gathering places on the continent that have hundred thousand year soul beasts are either not in the Sun Moon Empire or do not have soul beasts suitable for A Yan. In comparison, the ocean seems to be a better choice."

Shu Junyou chuckled and nodded.

He understood too well the importance of a 100,000-year spirit ring to a Titled Douluo. Without one, even with extraordinary talent, his upper limit would be around level ninety-seven at best. Reaching level ninety-eight would be extremely difficult, let alone becoming the pinnacle of spirit masters, the Ultimate Douluo.

But the situation on the continent is too special now. The hundred thousand year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest cannot be hunted at will. Otherwise, at the very least, it will attract the ferocious beasts in the most dangerous places to hunt them down. At the worst, it is very likely to trigger another beast tide and become a sinner that brings disaster to the world.

Just as Yu Bingyan said, in the current situation, human strongmen can no longer simply rely on land soul beasts to obtain a hundred thousand year soul ring. The development of the ocean is imminent. The Body Sect has been a pioneer in this regard and has proved the feasibility of this path to future generations. As long as the strength and lineup are strong enough, the mysterious and terrifying ocean can also be conquered by humans!

What's more, the territory of the sea-devouring whale is not particularly deep in the ocean. There are several islands inhabited by humans near its territory. It is also the territory of the Douling Empire, and there are shipping routes to the mainland. This is undoubtedly good news. At least they are not going to the kind of sea area that has never been explored by anyone since ancient times.

A cool breeze blew, and Yu Bingyan's thoughts slowly returned. Looking at Shu Junyou standing with his hands behind his back, she curled her lips and said:
"What do you think about what A Yan did in Shrek City some time ago?"

Shu Junyou was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled helplessly.

Yu Bingyan wasn't asking him about Shu Yan's threat to the United Auction House and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. She was asking about the past events behind it, or rather, she simply felt a little uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, Shu Junyou said softly:

"Don't overthink it. You know what happened back then. She and I have no other connection besides being classmates. Besides, you're probably familiar with what kind of person she is."

Yu Bingyan snorted softly and leaned in her husband's arms. She was silent for a while, and then she said:
"That's right. The people of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have always put their sect and their own interests first. To be honest, I feel a little sorry for her. She was a lively and innocent girl when she was young, but she had to be the heir to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. In the end, she was forced by reality to become like the elders she least understood."

Shu Junyou held Yu Bingyan's waist, his expression still calm, and then he said softly:

"The past fades away like smoke, and old friends, like leaves in the wind and flowers in the mud, have become what we never imagined they would be."

"Everyone experiences too much sorrow and helplessness, but after the sadness and confusion, they still have to struggle to stand up and continue to move forward. Only by moving forward can there be hope and a turning point. If they choose to stop, they will be trapped in the quagmire for the rest of their lives, unable to move, until they drown in the vast and boundless sea of ​​the secular world..."
