Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 88 A Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast

"Qian Daoliu, you have the freedom I've always dreamed of. With your parents, you are absolutely free. Even if you don't want to marry a woman, they will just indulge you."

"But I can't." He lowered his head, concealing the look in his eyes. "I'm like a puppet on a string; everything has already been decided for me."

"Chidoru, as your older brother, I actually envy you from the bottom of my heart."

Qian Daoliu frowned deeply. In fact, he had envied him at first.

Although his parents doted on him, it was a form of spoiling, and they made no demands on him.

But he was different. His parents seemed to be very strict with him, but Qian Daoliu knew that they were actually paving the way for him.

Qian Daoliu could sense that his parents actually loved him, but they couldn't show it for certain reasons.

The man chuckled softly, looking steadily at him. "Actually, I'm very grateful to you for taking care of Qian Xunji and Qian Renxue for so many years."

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, feeling for some reason that his words sounded a bit strange.

His words sounded more like a farewell.

Qian Daoliu asked, "Brother, you're not going to run away again, are you?"

The man was taken aback, then chuckled and asked, "Is that the kind of person you think of me?"

Qian Daoliu looked him up and down, his meaning clear. The man wasn't annoyed; he simply followed behind him.

The Spirit Hall, the place that holds his fondest memories, the place that makes his soul tremble with fear.

It's time to go back.

……

As soon as Ye Jingqiu entered the conference room, he noticed that the atmosphere around him was not right.

She quickly went forward and sat down in her seat.

Upon seeing her, Bibi Dong, who was in the very center, slowly nodded and then said with a serious expression, "We have discovered a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has already taken human form in the Star Dou Great Forest. What we need to do this time is to hunt her down and absorb her soul ring."

Ye Jingqiu was puzzled; she had never heard of soul beasts taking human form before.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "A 100,000-year-old soul beast is stronger than an ordinary Title Douluo. Even the most ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to a level 95 Title Douluo. Our mission this time is very important. Everyone, go back and prepare well."

Soon everyone had left, and now only Ye Jingqiu and Bibi Dong remained in the conference room.

She stared intently at Ye Jingqiu and asked, "Qiuqiu, what is the age limit of your fourth spirit ring?"

Ye Jingqiu originally didn't plan to tell Bibi Dong, after all, her absorption of this spirit ring was a bit risky.

But now that the question has been asked, Ye Jingqiu is no longer going to hide it; after all, it's the same whether you cut horizontally or vertically.

"It's a 30,000-year-old soul beast."

The expected and worrying reprimand did not come. Bibi Dong lowered her eyes and pondered for a while before speaking.

"Qiuqiu, I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and no matter how I look at it, you have no chance of winning against those three."

She stared intently at Ye Jingqiu and said, "This is basically a certain death, unless a miracle occurs."

Ye Jingqiu lowered her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. She couldn't understand why, if there really was no solution, Guixu Bell Emperor had made her accept the divine throne inheritance.

She still hasn't found a way to use the Guixu Bell.

No, something's not right. Ye Jingqiu quickly realized that something was wrong.

She said, "Auntie, something's not right. Since the Bell Emperor of Guixu chose me as the successor to the divine position, there must be a reason for it."

"Since the Bell Queen of Guixu set this as my first test, she must have her reasons. No matter how slim the hope is, there must be a way to pass it."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "Qiuqiu, I have a rather risky idea, but I don't know if you'd be willing to try it. If it succeeds, your chances of passing the first test will increase by at least 20%."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu looked at Bibi Dong with a serious expression and asked, "What method is Auntie referring to?"

"Absorb the soul ring and soul bone of that 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast."

Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly. "Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are so rare, and besides, isn't it only level ninety titled Douluo who dare to attempt them?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "There are two very important points you need to face. First, the soul power contained in a 100,000-year-old soul beast far exceeds that of an ordinary soul ring. The soul master's physical body and meridians need to be strong enough, otherwise they will be burst by the energy."

"Secondly, the resentment or spiritual power left behind after a soul beast dies can backfire on the soul master, requiring strong willpower to suppress it."

The latest novel is first published here!

"But I've been thinking these past few days, Qiuqiu, you absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast beyond your level, so why can't you try for a hundred-thousand-year-old soul ring?"

Ye Jingqiu stared intently at Bibi Dong, and she suddenly realized that Bibi Dong was perhaps much bolder than Qian Daoliu.

Bibi Dong looked at her sadly, "Either way, it's dangerous. Since that's the case, why not take a gamble?"

"There are three important conditions for absorbing a spirit ring: bloodline, and the Soul-Capturing Bell is a top-tier spirit, which has a stronger ability to withstand pressure than ordinary spirits."

"You also need to have extremely strong mental strength. Soul bones can make up for this to some extent. I have a skull that I've kept for a long time. I'll give it to you after you reach level 50."

"Your first four spirit rings are undoubtedly beyond the limit, which means your physique is far superior to others, and there may be a glimmer of hope for you."

Ye Jingqiu nodded. "Auntie, I'm willing to try, but what exactly is that transformed soul beast?"

Bibi Dong slowly opened her mouth and said, "The so-called soul beast transformation refers to a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Every 100,000 years, a soul beast must undergo a heavenly tribulation. Failure means death. Transforming into a human can avoid the heavenly tribulation and prolong life by cultivating a martial soul."

"Human beings can cultivate ten times faster than soul beasts and can fuse soul rings and soul bones to break through the ultimate bottleneck of a million years of cultivation."

"After a soul beast transforms into human form, it is in its infancy before level 60. During this time, it still has the aura of a soul beast and will be discovered when it encounters a powerful soul master, such as a titled Douluo."

"Soul beasts that reach level 60 or higher enter their mature stage. At this time, they completely conceal their aura, making them undetectable to soul masters."

"According to intelligence, that soul beast is now a mature soul beast. Because of this, its soul rings and soul bones are of extremely high quality, making it more valuable to hunt. However, the difficulty will also be relatively greater."

Ye Jingqiu nodded thoughtfully. "After a soul beast transforms into human form, do you need to hunt other soul beasts to absorb its soul ring?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "Mature soul beasts can condense soul rings on their own, but after reaching maturity, you need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings." (This is a self-defined setting requiring hunting.)

"Soul beasts hunt soul beasts?" Ye Jingqiu asked in surprise.

Bibi Dong nodded.

"The law of the jungle applies not only between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, but also between Soul Beasts themselves. Douluo Continent has always been a place where strength reigns supreme."
