Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 25 Two Treasure Chests

It seems that the attribute changes brought about by divine internal energy should not be underestimated; they may have unexpected uses at times.

Since the martial soul has not hardened, the matter of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo needs to be reconsidered.

Let's get our attention back to the system.

Just as Shi Quan had expected, as he absorbed his second soul ring, the system's familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind once again.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have broken through to the Great Soul Master realm and successfully triggered the Soul Master Treasure Chest. It has been opened for you. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a four-dimensional pocket."

After briefly learning about Shi Quan's situation, the three of them did not linger any longer. It was already night, and if they did not return soon, they would have to spend the night deep in the Soul Hunter Forest.

System space.

While traveling, Shi Quan also curiously summoned the system space, because the items this time seemed different from the previous ones. Judging from the name, they should be some kind of space-type soul tool.

Looking at the white semi-circular pocket in the system space, it looked so familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen it before.

Upon seeing the note on the four-dimensional pocket, Shi Quan's expression turned somewhat strange.

Four-Dimensional Pocket: Also known as the Treasure Bag or Four-Dimensional Space Bag, it originates from the anime Doraemon. It is a special technological product with the other side of the pocket connected to the four-dimensional world, and can hold an almost unlimited number of items.

Note: This is an empty magic bag.

If this contained Doraemon's gadgets, wouldn't I be able to roam freely in the Douluo Continent?

Although it doesn't contain any props, this treasure bag itself is a good thing. According to the explanation of the four-dimensional space, in addition to the length, width, and height of the normal world, it also has a time axis.

This means that time exists in the fourth-dimensional space, which means that the treasure bag can not only store inanimate objects, but also those with life. In the original work, the only soul tool that can store living things is the Ruyi Treasure Bag given to him by Poison Douluo.

However, Poison Douluo's Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch has limited space and cannot hold too many things, while the dimensional space inside the Hundred Treasures Bag is almost infinite, making the difference obvious.

The Treasure Bag is definitely a great item. On the way back, Shi Quan was considering whether to use a critical hit card to get another critical hit.

After thinking for a while, Shi Quan still rejected the idea. After all, the description of the critical hit card said that the reward would be doubled or become a better reward. If it turned into two treasure bags, a perfectly good critical hit card would be completely wasted.

Late at night, the three returned to their lodgings.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, the three set off back to Nottingham.

After returning to Notting City, Shi Quan completed the registration process as before, received the new Soul Master rewards, and then returned to Notting Academy with Mard.

"Your first spirit ring is 550 years old, your second spirit ring is over 1,000 years old, and what will you choose for your third spirit ring?" Dawson looked at Shi Quan's receding figure through the French windows, his eyes shining. "A Blue Silver Grass with innate spirit power level one has actually reached this point. This small place, Notting City, might really produce a dragon."

"However, it's hard to say whether your dragon can actually soar."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dawson looked at the deputy hall master in the office and said with a smile, "Get ready to make another trip."

Nottingham College.

Upon returning to the academy, Shi Quan did not rush to perfect the theory as he had the first time. Instead, he looked at Mald with a serious expression.

Mald looked at Shi Quan with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"For our safety, we may need you to make a trip to Tiandou City in person."

"Heavenly Dou City?" Mald looked puzzled, but seeing Shi Quan's serious expression, he gradually became serious as well, asking, "What's wrong, Quan? Why do you want me to go to Heavenly Dou City?"

"Teacher, my theory has been initially perfected with this experience. Once the theory is perfected, as long as we are careful, it will be ready for use. I am worried that after the Spirit Hall understands and confirms my theory, they will want to keep it all to themselves. Just in case, after I have perfected the theory, I hope that you can bring it to Heaven Dou City and spread my reputation and theory with the help of the Empire. At that time, even if the Spirit Hall wants to keep it all to themselves, it will be impossible."

"Xiao Quan, how can a child like you have so many thoughts in his head?" Mald sighed, his brows furrowing as he realized that Shi Quan's words were not entirely impossible.

"Xiao Quan, if you say that, you might offend the Spirit Hall," Mard warned.

"My theory has been spread, but it has not had any real impact on the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall is so big, it should be able to accommodate a theorist like me."

"Indeed." Mald nodded slightly, but his furrowed brows did not relax in the slightest. "However, given my status and strength, it will probably not be easy for me to meet the Emperor in Heaven Dou City."

Shi Quan quickly said, "Teacher, I've thought about this too. I'd like you to meet someone else; it might be simpler that way."

"Who?"

Shi Quan slowly uttered five words, "Crown Prince... Xue Qinghe!"

……

Two days later, Mald took his preliminary theory from Shi Quan and left Notting College under the cover of night.

Before Mald left, Shi Quan repeatedly instructed him to do his best to give the theory to Xue Qinghe. Although Mald was puzzled, he agreed.

Three days later, Shi Quan leisurely handed over his theory to Dawson.

……

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

"Your Holiness, a secret message has arrived from the Notting City branch of the Heavenly Dou Empire." A soldier in iron armor held up a letter sealed with red wax with both hands, knelt respectfully in front of the hall, and shouted.

"Notting City?" A soft voice echoed within the hall. The speaker was a woman of short stature, dressed in a magnificent black robe adorned with gold trim, wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown, and holding a two-meter-long scepter inlaid with countless jewels. She possessed fair skin and a near-perfect face. Noble and elegant.

It was Pope Bibidon.

"Your Majesty, a secret letter also came from the Notting City branch two years ago, concerning the age limit of spirit rings and the Blue Silver Grass martial soul." Seemingly sensing Bibi Dong's doubts, a hoarse voice explained from the side. The figure's specific appearance was unclear, and from a distance it looked like a black shadow.

Although the figure's exact appearance was unclear, if Shi Quan were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Ghost Douluo, Ghost Phantom, one of the elders of the Spirit Hall!

"It seems to be a child named Shi Quan, right?" Bibi Dong thought for a moment before remembering. She raised her hand and the letter in the armored soldier's hand floated up and slowly fell into Bibi Dong's hand.

Uncover the letter.

"Hmm?" When Bibi Dong saw the contents of the letter, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, the ghost beside her also curiously turned its head to look at the letter in Bibi Dong's hand, and its eyes widened as well.

"A second soul ring from a thousand years ago?" Bibi Dong murmured in surprise, then carefully examined the theory in the letter. After a long while, Bibi Dong spoke again, "Ghost, go and retrieve Shi Quan's detailed information, and also retrieve the secret letter from the Notting City branch last time."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The ghostly figure vanished, but in a short while, it reappeared with two documents.

After carefully reviewing all the letters, even Bibi Dong couldn't help but sigh, "If Shi Quan is truly as described in the letters, he is indeed a prodigy."

Even the ghost couldn't help but praise, "Indeed, to have reached this level with innate level one soul power, his achievement can be described as unprecedented and unparalleled."

"It would be a pity to let such a talent go," Ghostly chuckled hoarsely.

Bibi Dong's fingers twitched slightly as she looked at Shi Quan's name on the letter without saying a word. She seemed to be recalling something or thinking about something. After a long while, Bibi Dong spoke again and said calmly, "Just have someone keep an eye on him. Make sure that the Spirit Hall can obtain his theory as soon as it is verified."

The ghost asked with some surprise, "Your Majesty, have you thought this through?"

"Let's send a group of people to verify the theories in the letter first." Bibi Dong handed the theories in the letter to Gui Mei.

"Understood, Your Majesty." With a ghostly smile, he took the letter and vanished from the spot.

The hall fell silent.

Bibi Dong stared at the empty hall for a long time before murmuring to herself, "Xiao Gang, this child looks a lot like you..."

……

Shi Quan certainly didn't expect that Bibi Dong only arranged for someone to keep an eye on him. If that were the case, he wouldn't have bothered to send Malde on this trip.

There's no other way. Even Gu Rong had murderous intent towards Tang San, who was all alone and out of place. He attracted not just attention, but genuine murderous intent.

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

Having been given a second chance at life, how could he not know that there's a saying in novels: a genius who grows up is the only true genius.

His rise to power was inevitable with the help of the system, but to rise safely, he still had to rely on himself, since his system was unreliable.

To say that Shi Quancheng was particularly cunning was not entirely true; in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person.

His current situation is merely what he considers the best possible situation after much thought.

To say he could achieve perfection is a stretch; there's only so much he can think of, and he can only do his best to be as thorough as possible.

He definitely needs a powerful backer, and Xue Qinghe, also known as Qian Renxue, is the best one.

Xue Qinghe is backed by the Heaven Dou Empire, and her master is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Qian Renxue is backed by the Spirit Hall.

Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Clear Sky School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Spirit Hall.

With Xue Qinghe's protection, it would be equivalent to receiving the protection of three of the six most powerful forces in Douluo Continent.

It's definitely the best choice in the early stages.

……

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your reputation is beginning to take shape. You have obtained a reputation chest, which has been opened for you. Congratulations, host, you have obtained Nightmare."

While cultivating, Shi Quan was startled by the sudden voice of the system in his mind.

"A treasure chest has been triggered?... "
