Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 165 The Year of Courting Death

"Fengzhi, this kid's talk is so far-fetched, you don't actually believe it, do you?"

Bone Douluo was an old and shrewd man, and he didn't hold out much hope for the evolution of his martial soul.

"Uncle Gu, what he said should be true. The Soul Power Pill and Jade Flower Pill that were auctioned at the Heaven Dou Auction House a couple of years ago should have been made by him."

Looking at the names of these magical medicinal herbs, Ning Fengzhi felt they must be true, and the fact that the young man dared to say them meant he didn't care about them at all.

"Dad, Third Brother seems to know a lot about herbs too. Let's go ask him!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong remembered that Tang San had obtained some medicinal herbs in a valley in Sunset Forest, which greatly helped everyone's cultivation after they ate them.

"Let's go! Let's ask Tang San."

The three of them hurried towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Ning Fengzhi had high hopes for Tang San, that genius boy. Not long ago, Tang San had even sold a batch of hidden weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Although it was a bit of a rip-off, it had greatly improved the overall strength of his sect.

"Sect Master Ning, Ye Liangchen is right. These can indeed be called immortal herbs. However, immortal herbs are not ordinary things. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Creation Pill! As the name suggests, it has the effect of seizing the creation of heaven and earth. No wonder Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul was able to evolve."

Tang San was shocked when he saw the list of immortal herbs that Ning Fengzhi had sent. His Xuan Tian Bao Lu did indeed contain records of immortal herbs, but many of the herbs on the list given by Ye Liangchen were beyond his comprehension and were not recorded in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu at all.

"Xiao San, do you know how to refine the Creation Pill?" Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San's hand tightly and asked excitedly.

"Teacher, I don't know how to refine this kind of miraculous pill."

Tang San spread his hands, indicating that this was the first time he had ever seen such a thing, but if he had the recipe for the Creation Pill, he would definitely be able to make it himself.

"Alas! Just as he said, the immortal herb is like a flower in the water or the moon in the mirror, something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after."

Ning Fengzhi held the list of immortal herbs in his hand, sighed deeply, and didn't hold out much hope.

"Sect Leader Ning, may I make a copy of these immortal herbs?"

Undeterred, Yu Xiaogang found a pen and tried to write down the names of the medicinal herbs.

"Copy it!"

Ning Fengzhi handed the order directly to Yu Xiaogang, thinking there was hope, but he was disappointed. He found it a little funny.

"Sect Leader Ning, I think Ye Liangchen might still have that miraculous Creation Pill in his possession."

"Even if he doesn't have the Creation Pill, he still has the pill formula."

Tang San couldn't see through Ye Liangchen with his Purple Demon Eye yesterday, so he knew that the guy must have a big secret. It was an intuition.

Bone Douluo found Tang San's arrogant and ignorant attitude somewhat amusing, but he thought it was fine if the kid was going to his death.

A year ago, this guy sold a batch of hidden weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School using a no-cost business model, charging exorbitant prices and swindling Ning Fengzhi out of a sum of money. Bone Douluo was very unhappy and almost captured Tang San and made this guy help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School make hidden weapons.

Later, after Yu Xiaogang, the "Farting Master," revealed that Tang San was Tang Hao's son and possessed twin martial souls, Bone Douluo refrained from taking action. He later suggested that Ning Fengzhi secretly eliminate Tang San, but Ning Fengzhi stopped him.

"Tang San, Ye Liangchen is protected by a powerful figure. Uncle Gu said it's very likely a Title Douluo, so everyone shouldn't have any ideas."

Ning Fengzhi, considering the close ties among the three sects, reminded Tang San not to let his mind wander.

"Senior Bone Douluo, are you saying that Ye Liangchen actually has a Title Douluo by his side?"

When Yu Xiaogang heard this news, he couldn't sit still. He remembered how he had talked so boastfully in front of others the day before, like a monkey.

"That's true," Bone Douluo said calmly.

"A Titled Douluo?"

Tang San was also stunned. He thought he was already amazing to have a Title Douluo father, but he didn't expect the other party to be even more amazing, and a female Douluo at that.

However, Tang San remembered what his teacher had told him: his father came from the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world. He figured there must be another Title Douluo in the sect, so his background was no worse than the other party's.

Furthermore, the teacher also said that the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is the number one weapon Martial Soul in the world. Title Douluos who possess the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul are very powerful in actual combat and are definitely stronger than the female Douluos beside Ye Liangchen.

"No wonder that guy dared to attack Prince Xue Xing a couple of years ago; it turns out he has such powerful backing—a Title Douluo!"

Dai Mubai finally understood why that guy dared to slap the Star Luo Empire in the face; he had a beautiful female Title Douluo bodyguard by his side—such treatment was truly enviable.

Zhu Zhuqing is so lucky to have found such a powerful backer. No wonder she looks down on the Star Luo Empire's royal family.

Dai Mubai gave a bitter smile to himself. In the end, he had to shoulder everything alone. He also wanted someone to rely on! Who would be there to lean on?

……

In the blink of an eye, the Soul Master Tournament has been going on for more than ten days, and all the teams are engaged in intense competition, which has reached a fever pitch.

On this day, the Tianshui team only sent three people and easily defeated Canghui Academy, achieving a 12-game winning streak. During the match, Canghui Academy did not use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. However, when Ye Liangchen walked out of the arena after the match, he clearly felt a powerful and cold aura staring at him.

"Interesting. You've actually set your sights on me. In that case, I'll have to get rid of you."

Ye Liangchen knew that the chilling aura belonged to Shi Nian from Canghui Academy. Just as Feng Xiaotian had said, this old cunning fellow had his eye on him.

"Aunt Lan, you should take Sister Bing'er and the others back to the hotel first."

Ye Liangchen instructed Shui Lanxin and the others to lead the large group away first. Since Shi Nian had taken the initiative to send the soul bone, they had no choice but to accept it.

"Xiao Chen, have you discovered something?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"After we defeated Canghui Academy, their teacher, Canmeng Shinian, set his sights on me. Since he's going to his death, we have to help him and send him to hell."

"So that's how it is. Shui Lanxin, you take Bing'er and the others back first. Cai Lan and I will stay with Xiao Chen and go for a walk on the street to get rid of that treacherous old man."

"Okay! Then you should go and come back soon."

The group immediately split up. Ye Liangchen walked out of the Great Soul Arena and headed towards the street, while Bibi Dong and Ye Cailan put on sun hats, dressed up, concealed their auras, and pretended to be Ye Liangchen's girlfriends, taking his arm and accompanying him shopping.

After walking for about an hour, the three of them came to a street and found it very quiet. There was only one old man with white hair sitting on a step by the street, drinking tea alone.

"Buzzing..."

As soon as Ye Liangchen opened his divine sense, he saw that the other party was Shi Nian from Canghui Academy, and that the white-haired old man at this moment was also a disguise made by him using his soul skill.

"Godmother, Sister Lan, conceal your presence and don't let it show. Shi Nian has already made his move. This is a dream he created using the Remnant Dream Martial Soul."

Ye Liangchen used his soul to transmit his voice to Bibi Dong and Ye Cailan, so as not to scare them away if their auras were leaked.

"Understood, then we'll play along." The two women also wanted to see what tricks Shi Nian, nicknamed Nightmare, had up his sleeve.

"Swish..."

"Hehehehe...! Welcome to my dream world, young man. I didn't expect you to bring two stunning beauties with you. This is awesome, hehehehe..."

Just then, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and the three of them found themselves in a small forest, with strange, clamoring sounds echoing all around them.

"Shi Nian from Canghui Academy, are you planning to make a move against me? Aren't you afraid the organizing committee will find out?" Ye Liangchen closed his eyes, sensing with his divine sense that the other party was hiding behind a large tree.

"Ahhh...! Xiaochen! Where are we? We're so scared!"

Bibi Dong and Ye Cailan, now in full theatrical mode, pretended to be terrified, letting out shrill screams. Their pitiful appearance excited Shi Nian.

"Hehehehe...! My nickname is Nightmare. My greatest hobby is hunting down geniuses and watching them die painfully in my dream world without leaving a trace. It feels incredibly satisfying."

"Young man, blame yourself for being too outstanding. But since you brought two stunning beauties with you, I'll spare your life, hehehehe..."

"Enjoy the experience the nightmare brings, hehehehehehe..."

Canmeng Shinian emerged from behind the big tree, and seeing the terrified expressions on Ye Liangchen's and the two women's faces, he felt extremely pleased. He then activated his Canmeng Martial Soul and began to torture the three of them.

"Buzzing..."

"Huh! Why isn't it working?"

At this moment, Canmeng Shinian discovered that his Canmeng Martial Soul could not invade the souls of Ye Liangchen and the other two, and he was immediately incredulous.

"break"

Just then, Ye Liangchen launched a spiritual attack on Shi Nian, his spiritual sense transforming into an invisible sword that pierced into Shi Nian's soul, causing Shi Nian's soul to suffer severe damage and fall to the ground.

"Ahhh..."

At that moment, Shi Nian felt like his mind was exploding, and he clutched his head and screamed in pain.

"Who...who are you?! How can you possess such powerful mental strength?"

Shi Nian looked at Ye Liangchen in horror, knowing that she had kicked a hornet's nest today.

"High-level hunters often appear in the form of prey. Surprising, isn't it?"

"Back then, I heard that some geniuses would mysteriously disappear in every Soul Master Competition. It must have been you who did it. You've done too many heinous things. This is your retribution. Today you've run into me. Your days are numbered."

Looking at Shi Nian's terrified expression, Ye Liangchen listed the other party's crimes in detail.

"You dare to attack us, Shi Nian, you've got some nerve!"

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, Bibi Dong and Ye Cailan also released their martial souls, and their nine soul rings lit up. The powerful soul force pressed down on Shi Nian, rendering him unable to move.

"A...a Title Douluo?"

"My lord, please spare my life."

Shi Nian was dumbfounded. He never expected that the other party had deliberately set a trap for him with the aim of getting rid of him.

"cut…"

"Pfft..."

Bibi Dong was too lazy to waste any more words. She activated her soul skill, and Shi Nian's head immediately rolled to the ground.

"Swish..."

After Shi Nian died, multicolored light shone from his head, and a piece of his soul bone fell out.

"There was also an unexpected bonus: a gem-type soul bone, nearly 30,000 years old, which is most suitable for support-type soul masters."

Ye Cailan picked up the glittering head soul bone and quickly determined its attributes.

"Godmother, take this soul bone! Your men might find it useful."

Ye Liangchen simply tossed the soul bone of Shi Nian to Bibi Dong, since he didn't need it himself anyway.

"Xiao Chen, thank you then. Some of my men do need this soul bone."

Bibi Dong happily put away the soul bone. Sure enough, following her godson brought good luck. The little guy had given Qian Renxue two 30,000-year soul bones before, and now he had given her a 10,000-year soul bone. This trip was definitely worth it.

"Let's go back to the hotel."
