Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 256 Searching for the Fox Hu Liena's Contracted Soul Beast

The nine-tailed fox spirit Bai Song thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember the Fairy Queen's name.

It had heard of the Fairy Queen's name before, but it had been so long, and people didn't usually call her by her name, that it gradually forgot about it.

If a god has a divine position, he can hear you if you call him by his real name. Moreover, some curses are cast through names. Therefore, under normal circumstances, people refer to him by his divine position and do not call him by his real name.

Unless they are very familiar with each other, gods will not reveal their names to one another.

After becoming a god, the nine-tailed fox spirit Bai Song also met the Fairy Queen. Because they were both members of the forest, he knew the Fairy Queen's name before, but he had never called her that.

If they had actually told each other their names, the Nine-Tailed Fox could have called out the Fairy Queen's name before she perished, so that the Fairy Queen would have known what had happened. Unfortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Bai Song, was too arrogant and never called out the Fairy Queen's name before she died.

So many years have passed, and the nine-tailed fox felt that she knew the Fairy Queen's name, and was very familiar with it, but when it came to saying it, she just couldn't say it.

"Uncle Jerry, the name of a god is very important, you should have felt that. You can know when someone calls your name to pray. But some curses can be cast by using a god's object and the god's name. To avoid curses, only gods who are familiar with each other will tell each other their names, just in case, so that they can pass on information to each other."

"I never knew names could have this function before."

Jerry had heard other people's prayers before, and at first he didn't know why he could hear them. It turns out it's because of this rule.

"Tell me the Fairy Queen's name. It's okay. Even if she finds out, I'll explain it to her."

Even though the nine-tailed fox explained, Jerry still wanted to know the Fairy Queen's name.

"Uh... I forgot the Fairy Queen's name. I only remember that her name was very long and difficult to pronounce."

The nine-tailed fox dared not meet Jerry's eyes and said in a pitiful voice.

After all that explanation, it turns out you've forgotten everything yourself! You're supposed to be a god-level expert, yet you can't even remember a name.

"Given away for free, you're supposed to be a god-level powerhouse, and from a race with strong mental power, yet you can't even remember a name?"

Jerry asked incredulously, "No matter how you put it, it's just a name. How difficult can it be to pronounce?"

"No, Jerry, the Fairy Queen's name has over two hundred characters! It's really hard to remember, otherwise I would have called out the Fairy Queen's name when I perished."

At this point, the nine-tailed fox spirit Bai Song felt even more aggrieved. Back then, it was arrogant, and another reason was that it didn't remember the Fairy Queen's name. Otherwise, how could it have been worn down to death? It had time, but it just didn't remember it.

The only thing the nine-tailed fox remembered was that the Fairy Queen's name had more than two hundred characters, so it felt familiar but couldn't say it out loud.

"More than two hundred words?"

The Fairy Queen's name isn't foreign, is it? It's so long!

Seeing the unreliable nature of the nine-tailed fox, Jerry understood why it was so unlucky.

You can't even remember a name? You deserve your bad luck!

"Alright, let's not talk about that. What are your plans next? Are you going to the Star Dou Great Forest, or are you going to form a contract with Hu Liena?"

"I suggest you don't form a contract. After forming a contract, your cultivation will be mutually reinforcing. You're already at the god level, so you won't get any reinforcing effects."

"Moreover, after forming a contract with you, Hu Liena's ability to accelerate the fox soul beast's cultivation is useless; it's a complete waste."

"After reaching the God level, the main focus is on comprehending the rules. The rules you comprehend before forming a contract cannot be used to support your progress. It's better to nurture newborn soul beasts, which, as they grow and comprehend the rules, can directly support your progress."

Jerry explained the pros and cons of the Summoner's Contract, letting the Nine-Tailed Fox choose for herself.

Indeed, after contracting the Nine-Tailed Fox, his strength did double, but he also needed to plan for the future. Jerry still thought it would be best to contract nine newborn foxes, so that when they grew up, they would become nine god-level powerhouses.

"Alright then, I'll do as you say."

"Oh, and draw some blood from me first!"

Jerry has been eyeing the Nine-Tailed Fox's blood for a long time. Now that he's finally revived it, he definitely wants to extract as much as possible.

After all, it was something that had been agreed upon beforehand, and the nine-tailed fox was a little helpless, but she still extended her forelimbs to let Jerry draw blood.

After drawing a large tube of blood, Jerry discovered that the Nine-Tailed Fox's blood was reddish-gold, indicating that the blood had not been fully transformed. In Jerry's opinion, the Nine-Tailed Fox was somewhat useless.

The main reason is that the Nine-Tailed Fox's body has just been resurrected and lacks energy. Transforming one's bloodline requires a lot of energy, and the Nine-Tailed Fox cannot split itself or recover in the universe, so it has always lacked energy.

However, it's good that the bloodline hasn't fully transformed into divine blood yet. Once it has, the difference in life level is too great, and a fox that hasn't become a god won't be able to absorb it.

He then gave the nine-tailed fox a handful of blood-regenerating pills to help it recover its lost blood as soon as possible.

It's unclear how many Nine-Tailed Fox Blood Pills Da Bai needs to evolve, but it's better to be prepared.

The nine-tailed fox was enormous, and could draw a lot of blood at once. It set up a time array, and Jerry began refining pills.

The blood has been completely refined, and a total of three hundred fox blood pills have been made.

After refining the Fox Blood Pill, Jerry led the Nine-Tailed Fox to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon arriving at the Starry Sky Forest, Jerry saw Big White leading three little emerald swans causing trouble everywhere.

He pulled them into the yard.

Baymax was catching rabbits with three little guys when he was suddenly moved into the yard. At first, he didn't react, but when he saw it was Jerry, he immediately rushed over and hugged Jerry.

"Master, I miss you so much!"

"Big White, you're not allowed to call me master anymore. From now on, call me brother."

Jerry has said it many times, but Baymax will never listen anyway and will still call him Master.

Big White's eyes always prioritize Jerry. Only after hugging Jerry does he notice the fox following beside him. A sense of oppression from his bloodline makes Big White tremble a few times.

The fox race has a strict hierarchy of bloodlines. Higher-level bloodlines naturally exert pressure on lower-level bloodlines, which is why they are afraid and tremble when they see a nine-tailed fox.

"Master, this fox is so scary."

"Big White, don't worry, this fox is my own. It's a nine-tailed fox, with one more tail than you, which is why you're scared. Look, I brought a different kind of Nine-Tailed Fox Blood Pill this time. Try it and see how it works."

Jerry was actually looking forward to Baymax turning into a nine-tailed fox. White Pine was wild, so it was different from the one he had raised from a cub.

One, two, three...

After Big White ate the 20th pill, its body began to evolve, instantly transforming back into its original form. Then, its entire body began to glow, and a tail quietly grew out. Instantly, a powerful pressure spread out, indicating that the evolution was successful.

Big White's size doubled, and the small courtyard became crowded. Big White quickly woke up and began to transform its body, soon turning into a little girl again.

After evolving, Big White looked around blankly. When it saw the Nine-Tailed Fox again, it was no longer afraid; the bloodline suppression was gone.

Although he knew that Jerry's Fox Blood Pill could help evolve bloodlines, he was still shocked after witnessing it with his own eyes. Evolving bloodlines directly changes one's talent.

Jerry told Baymax to be stubborn for now, and went into the forest to find a fox spirit beast to contract with Hu Liena.

Since I have the elixir in my own hands, I don't need to care about the quality of my talent; as long as the attributes are different, that's fine.

As a result, Jerry only found foxes with six different attributes among the fox clan: wind fox, fire fox, ice fox, thunder fox, light fox, and dark fox.

Xiao Bai is a phantom fox; there is no other one like it in the Star Dou Forest.

Needless to say, fox spirits are extinct.

The Dark Blood Fox is probably extinct as well.

Even if we find the Phantom Fox, we're still missing two types, which is a bit tricky.

However, you could ask the Nine-Tailed Fox; it should know about the fox race.

"There are many types of foxes. Normal foxes include: Golden Fox, Wood Fox, Water Fox, Fire Fox, Earth Fox, Thunder Fox, Light Fox, Dark Fox, and Demon Fox. Then there are mutated foxes such as: Wind Fox, Ice Fox, Illusion Fox, Silver Fox, Snow Fox, Purple Lightning Flying Fox, and Dark Blood Fox."

"However, I don't know if they are extinct now. Most of them probably aren't, since foxes are very intelligent. The demon fox and the dark blood fox are definitely extinct. In ancient times, other races didn't like the two types of foxes."

The nine-tailed fox explained the different types of foxes to Jerry. Wow, the fox family is quite large, with so many different kinds!

The nine-tailed fox then described to Jerry the appearance and habits of each type of fox, so that Jerry could find them more easily.

After understanding the situation, Jerry unleashed his divine sense and began scanning all the forests on the continent.

In the far north, in the frozen forest, Jerry soon spotted three types of foxes: snow fox, phantom fox, and ice fox.

Both the snow fox and the phantom fox had cubs. With a thought, the two cubs disappeared and reappeared in front of Jerry.

Under the oppression of the two nine-tailed foxes, the two cubs lay trembling on the ground.

Now, the divine sense began to explore eastward, through the lush forest and the Valley of Wind, and finally found the clan of Wind Foxes.

Using the same method, a cub was moved over.

Once all nine cubs were found, the fox, carrying the cubs, called out "Nine-Tailed Fox" and returned directly to the Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena had been waiting for a long time. After her martial soul left her body and her soul rings were missing, she no longer needed to cultivate to stabilize her cultivation, so she had been waiting here for Jerry and the others to return.

Sitting by the window, looking in the direction of the Tribulation Grounds, the power of the Heavenly Punishment was immense. Although it was not clearly visible in Martial Soul City, one could feel the oppressive force that followed its appearance.

However, most people in the Spirit Hall have experienced it twice and are used to it. It feels like it happens every now and then.

Hu Liena had never known what this feeling was before, but now she finally understood. It was divine punishment, and she couldn't help but worry about Jerry.

His furrowed brows relaxed only when he saw Jerry appear in front of him.

"Hu Liena, we're back, and we've found the soul beast you were supposed to contract with."

As Jerry spoke, he released nine fox cubs.

The newly released fox cubs were a little frightened and whimpered softly.

Seeing a bunch of little foxes, Hu Liena thought they were so cute. Watching them whimper in fear, Hu Liena went straight up and hugged them all in her arms.

Because Hu Liena has the bloodline of a fox spirit, they felt a sense of closeness and gradually settled down in Hu Liena's arms.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's teleportation was noticeably slower than Jerry's. By the time it arrived in the yard, Hu Liena had already calmed down the nine little foxes.

Because of the appearance of the nine-tailed fox and the oppressive power of its bloodline, the nine little foxes began to feel uneasy again.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, put away your aura! You're scaring the little foxes!"

Seeing the little foxes becoming uneasy, Hu Liena, not knowing why, tried to soothe them. Jerry noticed this and spoke up directly.

"Okay, I'll conceal my presence so these little guys won't sense it."

The nine-tailed fox said indifferently. It didn't have much affection for foxes of other races, after all, there were foxes of other races among the soul beasts that besieged the fox clan back then.

After the nine-tailed fox concealed its aura, the nine little foxes immediately calmed down.

Seeing that the little foxes were settled, Jerry felt it was time to form a contract.

With Jerry, the God of Contracts, personally conducting the contract ceremony, there's no need for intimacy levels to form a contract directly.

With the first contract, Hu Liena's soul power directly reached level 20; with the second contract, her soul power broke through to level 30; with the third contract, her soul power broke through to level 40...

In the end, all nine soul beasts were contracted, and Hu Liena recovered to level 100. However, her original level 100 soul rings were gone, and she needed to absorb them again.

After absorbing the level 100 divine ring, Hu Liena felt a little strange overall.

The first nine spirit rings were all white, and the last one was gold.

White Ring Douluo, White Ring Summoner, White Ring God.

In short, something's a bit strange.

"Hu Liena, this is the Nine-Tailed Fox Blood Pill. Absorb it and evolve your martial soul into a nine-tailed fox."

Jerry had already mentioned the matter of martial soul evolution when choosing the second option. I didn't expect Jerry to act so quickly. The Nine-Tailed Fox had only just been resurrected when she was already being drained of blood for alchemy. Thinking back to my own experience of being drained of blood by Jerry for alchemy, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox on the side, she was in good condition and did not look like she had just had blood drawn. The bodies of soul beasts are really powerful. Based on Hu Liena's understanding of Jerry, he must have drawn a lot of blood, but the Nine-Tailed Fox was still fine. That was impressive.

Hu Liena took the pill and began refining it on the spot.

The first one, the second one, the third one...

After refining the fifteenth pill, Hu Liena's martial soul began to evolve.

With her martial soul evolving into a nine-tailed fox, Hu Liena can now be considered a complete nine-tailed fox martial soul master.

Since the Nine-Tailed Fox Bai Song left, Hu Liena felt that she could control her soul power more easily. Her original martial soul was still the best.
