The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 123 The Successor of the Divine Test

"Yes, Sect Master Ning, you may not believe it, but the two Douluo lords who just fought here were indeed the long-reclusive Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, and the other was the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

Now that things had come to this, Flander had no intention of hiding anything. Looking at Tang San, he said, "The reason why the two Douluos are at odds can be traced back to a team battle a few months ago. During the battle, Tang San and Dugu Yan had a conflict. That's what led to the battle between Haotian Douluo and Poison Douluo."

Gu Rong was puzzled. "Dugu Yan is the old poison master's granddaughter, so what is Tang San's relationship with Haotian Douluo?"

"Tang San is the biological son of Haotian Douluo."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, both noticing the surprise on each other's faces.

"Isn't Tang San's spirit Blue Silver Grass?" Gu Rong was even more puzzled. "How could such a useless spirit as Blue Silver Grass be the biological son of the Clear Sky Douluo?"

Flander truthfully stated, "Your Excellency Bone Douluo, you may not know this, but in addition to the Blue Silver Grass, Tang San also possesses the Clear Sky Hammer, a weapon inherited from the Clear Sky Sect."

"Twin martial souls?" Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were both taken aback almost simultaneously. When they looked at Tang San again, their expressions clearly changed.

According to Rongrong, Tang San is not only exceptionally strong, but he can also create various powerful hidden weapons.

Now that Haotian Douluo is dead, as long as Tang San avenges his father's death, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have a large source of hidden weapons after having done Tang San a favor.

With Tang San's talent and being the son of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could very well support him to become the new sect leader of the Haotian School in the future.

At that time, with their overall combat power greatly increased, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky School will join forces, and even the Spirit Hall will not be able to shake their position on the continent.

However, to win over Tang San, one must avenge his father's death, which means killing Dugu Bo and his grandson-in-law.

During the fierce battle just now, Ning Fengzhi witnessed Dugu Bo displaying martial soul abilities he had never seen before, and even a martial soul fusion technique.

However, before using his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dugu Bo relied on his personal strength to fight against Tang Hao for so long despite being above his level, even forcing Tang Hao to use the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique, Ring Explosion.

This shows that Dugu Bo's strength is no longer what it used to be.

Neither Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo could kill Dugu Bo in one blow.

If Dugu Bo wasn't killed immediately, all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have died without a trace under his terrifying wide-range poison technique.

Watching Tang San tightly embrace Xiao Wu, Ning Fengzhi was also pondering a way to satisfy both sides. He couldn't help Tang San, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity to do Tang San a favor.

In addition, we also need to properly deal with Xiao Wu, this 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Sect Leader Ning, you are already aware of Tang San's identity. Tang San is currently at his most vulnerable. If you are willing to help him, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely become Tang San's benefactor in the future."

At this point, Flander glanced at the battered and bruised Yu Xiaogang and said bitterly, "Even if you can't kill Dugu Bo, killing that young man named Xia Liang would be fine. His crimes are far more serious than Dugu Bo's!"

"Xia Liang?" Ning Fengzhi seemed to remember something.

"Yes. That young man named Xia Liang, he is the culprit who caused Tang San's father's death!"

Flander explained the pros and cons, saying, "Sect Leader Ning, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can issue a kill order to avenge Haotian Douluo, I think not only Tang San, but the entire Haotian Sect will thank you for your righteous assistance!"

After hearing this explanation, Ning Fengzhi smiled somewhat awkwardly. "Dean Flander, you've only just arrived in Tiandou City, so you probably don't know yet, but this young man named Xia Liang is the sworn brother of the current Crown Prince."

"What? That kid is the Crown Prince's sworn brother?" Flander was stunned, his eyes filled with confusion and panic.

How could he have known that Xia Liang had this other identity?

He is not only Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law, but also the sworn brother of the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Thinking of this, Flander's face suddenly turned ugly, and he began to regret standing on Tang Hao's side.

Who could have imagined that Tang Hao, the number one Haotian Douluo on the mainland back then, would die at the hands of a junior?

This junior named Xia Liang dared to kill even Haotian Douluo, which shows his decisiveness and ruthlessness. Offending such a killer who comes and goes without a trace means that he will probably never be able to sleep peacefully again.

What frustrated Flander even more was that this person was the Crown Prince's sworn brother, with the Heaven Dou Empire as his backer. Even Liu Erlong's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not dare to make a move easily.

Looking up at the stars and moon in the sky, Flander closed his eyes in anguish. He couldn't help but envy Zhao Wuji. If only he had stayed at the academy like Zhao Wuji and hadn't gotten caught up in this mess.

Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong are, after all, members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If Xia Liang were to come looking for them, the first one to die would definitely be him, a commoner soul master with no one to rely on.

"I'm so sorry, Dean Flander, Tang San is not only a disciple of the three upper sects, but also Rongrong's good friend. I really want to help him."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Tang San and said regretfully, "But I am, after all, the Crown Prince's teacher, while Poison Douluo is an Imperial Guest. For the sake of the bigger picture, I cannot fall out with Poison Douluo, let alone lay a hand on the Crown Prince's sworn brother."

"However, I am very grateful for the care that Shrek Academy has shown Rongrong. Here's what we'll do: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot help you, but we can help you find a secluded place to settle down. From now on, Shrek Academy will be able to live in seclusion without worrying about Poison Douluo's retaliation. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will cover all the expenses for rebuilding the academy and various training facilities. Dean Flander, what do you think?"

"That's all we can do." Flander looked at Ning Fengzhi, clasped his hands in gratitude, and said, "Sect Leader Ning, I thank you on behalf of Shrek Academy. When Shrek Academy recovers, I will definitely repay the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

As he spoke, Flander went over to comfort Liu Erlong. After some discussion, the two finally reached an agreement and took the unconscious Yu Xiaogang back to Shrek Academy.

Tang San picked up Xiao Wu and followed behind Flander. His father was dead, and he had so many questions he wanted to ask. Right now, the only people who knew the truth were his teacher and Dean Flander.

"Little San, the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are both among the top three sects. There are some things I might be able to help you with. Once you've adjusted your mindset, feel free to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect when you have time. As an elder, I will do my best to help you."

After listening to Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang San turned around and nodded, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Ning, Tang San will!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled with relief, "Go back now."

"Mm." Tang San replied, carrying Xiao Wu as he caught up with Flander and Liu Erlong.

He knew that Sect Master Ning must have his own reasons for not offering help.

Having considerations means there are still variables.

Thanks to Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might be one of their hopes for future revenge. Therefore, not only should they not let the relationship sour, but they should also maintain frequent contact.

The next day, in the morning.

Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.

Bed.

After the great battle, Dugu Bo was in a deep coma due to exhaustion of his soul power, physical strength, and mental energy.

He had injuries all over his body, some minor and some severe. He had been hit on the head by the Haotian Hammer, which caused serious head trauma.

Fortunately, thanks to the protection of Medusa's skull, Dugu Bo was able to save his brain. Apart from various injuries, his brain-related bodily functions remained normal.

At this moment, by the bedside.

Xia Liang and Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo lying on the bed with concern.

Ye Lingling released her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, filling the room with a refreshing fragrance. As white petals gently drifted down onto Dugu Bo, a strange scene unfolded.

The first to heal quickly were the wounds all over Dugu Bo's body. Then, with the continuous treatment of the Nine-Heart Begonia petals, Dugu Bo's skull gradually healed.

After a while.

Due to the vast difference in their soul power, Ye Lingling could only help Dugu Bo recover one-third of his injuries even after exhausting her own soul power.

After finishing the treatment and retracting the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul into her body, Ye Lingling took two steps back with a pale face. Fortunately, Xia Liang reacted quickly and teleported behind her to support her so that she did not fall to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Xia Liang rubbed Ye Lingling's temples, the slight stimulation gradually bringing her back to consciousness.

"Senior Dugu's injuries are too severe, and my soul power is too low to heal him. To avoid any hidden injuries, we still need to ask my grandfather to take action."

Ye Lingling rarely spoke, but looking at Dugu Yan who was guarding the bedside, she comforted her, "Yan Yan, don't worry too much. My grandfather will be back tomorrow after he finishes collecting herbs. I'll have him come to treat you as soon as possible."

"Lingling, thank you." Dugu Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She never expected that her act of beating Tang San would put her grandfather in danger twice.

If Xia Liang hadn't been there, his grandfather would probably have been killed by Tang San's father.

"My soul power is exhausted, and there's no point in staying here any longer. I won't disturb Senior Dugu's rest any longer, so I'll take my leave now."

As she spoke, Ye Lingling was about to leave Xia Liang's support, but she weakly stumbled backward again and was caught by Xia Liang once more.

"How about I take you home?" Xia Liang suggested.

Before Ye Lingling could reply, Dugu Yan spoke first, "I'll take him. Ah Liang, you know some medical knowledge, it'll be better if you stay and take care of Grandpa."

After saying that, Dugu Yan ran over and helped Ye Lingling out of the room.

After watching the two leave and closing the door, Xia Liang looked at Dugu Bo on the bed with concern.

Yesterday, the forced use of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique aggravated Dugu Bo's injuries, but fortunately, Ye Lingling provided timely treatment today.

After her grandfather returns and she undergoes another intensive treatment, Dugu Bo should be fine.

With a sigh of relief, Xia Liang walked out of the room and into the backyard.

Tang Hao's undead spirit was too powerful, and the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul could not digest it completely on its own, so it had to be assisted by willpower.

Sitting cross-legged on the grass, Xia Liang concentrated and entered a meditative state.

After three hours of refining, he finally managed to completely transform Tang Hao's undead spirit into nourishment for the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul.

A portion of the energy of the dead was converted into physical energy, which raised Xia Liang's soul power from level 58 to level 60.

The process of devouring Tang Hao's spirit was like absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul ring, which was a level higher than him.

Fortunately, his physical strength and mental power are strong enough now. Otherwise, if he were suppressed by Tang Hao's undead, not only would his mind collapse, but his body might also be unable to withstand the violent energy impact of the undead and be destroyed.

After adjusting the sudden increase in soul power within his body, Xia Liang used his internal vision to check the condition of his meridians. Only after finding nothing abnormal did he begin to circulate the level 60 soul power he had just acquired throughout his body.

Half an hour later.

After finishing his meditation, Xia Liang slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.

He was pleased that Tang Hao's spirit had been completely devoured by him. Even if a god intervened, it would be impossible to bring someone back to life without a soul and a complete body.

Tang Hao, this potential threat, has been completely eliminated.

As for Tang San's revenge, Xia Liang wasn't too worried.

First, he lost the opportunity to obtain the immortal herb. Without Tang Hao's guidance, Tang San indirectly lost the chance to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul with the help of the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King. He even lost the way to enter the City of Slaughter and obtain the God of Slaughter Domain.

If Tang San could turn the tide under these circumstances, it would be truly unbelievable.

However, just in case, it's best to take control of the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King hidden in the ancient forest as soon as possible.

After obtaining his sixth spirit ring and becoming a Spirit Emperor, his strength should be enough to capture the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King alive.

The ossified Susanoo's half-body form is now able to wear armor and fight.

The next step is to add legs to it, making it a complete human form.

Based on the previous method of growing an entire arm bone through spirit rings, it's strange that absorbing the sixth spirit ring would only add a leg to the Bone-Transformed Susanoo.

Therefore, Xia Liang's idea is to promote the evolution of the martial soul so that the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul can grow a complete lower body just like it grows a head.

The sixth spirit ring that can cause the super spirit necromancer skeleton to evolve must also originate from a super spirit beast.

In the original work, among super soul beasts that possess both dark attributes and meet the age requirement for a sixth soul ring, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is undoubtedly the most suitable first choice for a soul ring.

I had considered it before. If I couldn't get close to Qian Renxue, I would use immortal herbs as an exchange to ask the two Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to join forces with Dugu Bo to hunt down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Now that he and Qian Renxue have become sworn brothers, there is no need to waste immortal herbs to ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for help anymore.

What troubled Xia Liang was that, from Qian Renxue's perspective, he was at most a Soul King, so how could he possibly cultivate to a level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor in just half a year?

Such rapid cultivation speed cannot be honestly attributed to the benefits of devouring the dead.

Qian Renxue is, after all, a possessor of a god-level martial soul, whose vision is far superior to that of ordinary soul masters, and whose knowledge is also more extensive.

Making up a random excuse in front of her, if she finds out, will inevitably reduce the level of trust between you.

God-level Martial Soul?

Thinking of this, Xia Liang's eyes lit up. Qian Renxue knew about the existence of the Divine Trial, so perhaps he could say that he was undergoing the nine trials of a certain Dark Level One God.

The first test is to cultivate to the level 90 Title Douluo realm before the age of twenty. Therefore, under the protection of the divine test, one's cultivation speed will be much faster than others.

This explains why he absorbed the third spirit ring five thousand years ago, and now he has the fourth spirit ring ten thousand years ago and the fifth spirit ring fifty thousand years ago.

Ordinary people have no idea about the existence of divine tests, let alone have such knowledge about first-level deities and the nine tests.

Therefore, once it's said, and given the possibility of being able to develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the Six-Winged Angel, the probability of Qian Renxue believing it is very high.
