Douluo Continent: Transmigrated as Qian Renxue's follower, forced to become a god

Chapter 31 Soul Hunting, Second Ring, Dawn Dream Eater

The Azure Phoenix Douluo transformed into a large Azure Phoenix divine bird.

Guangling Douluo picked up Xiao Shiyue and easily got onto Qingluan's back.

The Azure Phoenix cried out and soared into the night.

"You two seem to have a really good relationship!" Shi Yueyi exclaimed loudly from Qingluan Douluo's back.

Because the wind around us was a bit too strong.

Qingluan Douluo raised another soul power barrier around himself. Originally, he wanted to put some pressure on Xiao Shiyue by moving at high speed, and test whether her physical fitness was up to par. Now he also blocked out the sound of the wind.

"Actually, I've known Qingluan since we were young, but back then we were more competitive with each other," said Guangling Douluo.

"I get it, I get it!" Shi Yueyi winked. "We became friends after a fight, you know."

The Azure Phoenix trembled slightly.

"It's not that we became friends after fighting. We haven't really clashed at long range with our soul skills much." Light Feather Douluo casually smoothed out the soul power fluctuations around him. "It's just that we are both considered ranged soul masters, so it's inevitable that we would compete over questions like 'whose attack is more ingenious'."

"And then?" Shi Yueyi asked curiously.

"Later, he became my support," said Guangling Douluo with a smile.

"Little October, don't listen to his nonsense." The Azure Phoenix snorted coldly. "There are seven of us brothers. He and I are both at the peak of level ninety-six, but I'm ranked third and he's fifth. It's obvious who's stronger!"

"This ranking doesn't tell the whole story. In my opinion, both grandfathers are equally impressive," Shi Yueyi said with a smile.

"There is still a gap." This time, Guangling Douluo did not refute. "Qingluan is only one step away from level 97, while I am still a bit far away."

"Because you're a bit too playful, brother," said Qingluan Douluo. "Our usual secluded cultivation place should, in theory, be advantageous to you."

With a flap of its wings, the Azure Phoenix soared into the distance.

Their destination was the Starry Sky Forest.

The Azure Phoenix moved swiftly, arriving at its destination before dawn.

They landed in the central region of the Star Dou Great Forest, a place that will be known as the Mixed Zone ten thousand years later.

In this era, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest did not nearly overflow from the forest as they would in later generations.

Therefore, after arriving in this mixed zone, they set their sights on a soul beast called "Dawn Dream Eater".

Qian Renxue had considered this spirit beast when acquiring spirit rings, but its abilities were more related to illusions. Qian Renxue preferred brute force, so her sixth spirit ring skill became Angel's Roar.

It was during that soul hunt that the elders carefully studied the suitable spirit-type soul beasts in the Starry Sky, which is why Azure Phoenix Douluo thought of this species not long ago.

According to legend, this kind of spirit beast has another more common name - Dream Eater.

This kind of dream-eating beast feeds on mental energy, which is different from directly consuming brains. It truly has the ability to "kill in dreams".

If Angel's Roar is like blowing an enemy's head off with a single shout, then this ability is like silently killing an enemy in their sleep, or even causing them to die peacefully, as if they had gone mad from practicing cultivation.

After introducing the soul beast to Shi Yueyi, the little girl's eyes lit up immediately: "Great! This is good!"

"Hmm? Tell me, how did you get better?" Guangling Douluo couldn't help but tease her.

"Hidden and impossible to guard against." When Shi Yueyi talks about assassination techniques, she becomes very serious and no longer makes casual jokes.

"Moreover, if my second ring can reach more than five thousand years, then it will undoubtedly benefit the development of my spiritual sea... although my current spiritual sea can only be considered a slightly larger lake."

"Your spiritual sea has already taken shape?" Light Feather Douluo raised an eyebrow. "If I remember correctly, I was... well, around the time of Soul King when it could be considered to have taken shape, and then at the time of Soul Saint, I completely widened the gap between myself and ordinary Soul Masters."

"Because our mental strength is not bad, after entering the ninth ring for a period of time, our mental sea became deeper, like the ocean no longer expanding, but exploring into deeper depths. However, in general, mental strength is weaker than one's own cultivation level," Qingluan Douluo continued.

It wasn't until about 20,000 years later that the Douluo Continent developed a clearer classification of the levels of spiritual power.

What Guangling said was roughly the difference between reaching the Spirit Sea Realm when one is a Soul King and fully entering the Spirit Saint Realm. That is the difference between outstanding and ordinary spiritual power.

After receiving the title, one enters the Spirit Abyss Realm, which is why Qingluan says it becomes like an abyss, unfathomable.

Now, Shi Yueyi seems to be close to reaching the Spirit Sea Realm at level 20, which is currently a large lake.

This is not surprising, because after discovering that her spiritual power had begun to awaken during her last soul hunt, she has been working with her true physical martial soul to hone her spiritual power through repeated training.

Soul Masters can use cultivation instead of rest and sleep; this is something that almost every Soul Master knows.

During this process, mental tension will consume mental energy, leading to mental depletion. At this point, cultivating mental energy will increase it.

Of course, this well-known advice among Soul Masters was taken by a certain master and used as his own theory, and based on this, he proposed that one should not cultivate at night when hunting Souls, but only sleep.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Soon, they arrived at the "camp" of the soul beasts that they had known in advance. Shi Yueyi looked closely and found about a dozen strangely shaped soul beasts wandering around there.

She hadn't visited the Star Dou Great Forest very often, not even in her previous life.

After observing for a while, Shi Yueyi's gaze immediately locked onto one of them.

"Give it to—"

But before she could finish speaking, Qingluan Douluo sent a signal—Shi Yueyi sensed it; it was a spiritual transmission, but more like a tacit understanding.

Because in the next instant, Light Feather Douluo shot out an arrow that pierced directly and accurately through the body of the Dawn Dream Eater!

The two grandfathers didn't even communicate or exchange words; they knew each other's thoughts with just a thought!

Then, Qingluan Douluo flashed by like a blur, taking the soul beast directly away from the camp!

With a dizzying spin, Shi Yueyi was also pulled up by the Light Feather Douluo, and then they flashed away.

When she came to her senses, the three of them had already arrived at a cave in the far distance...

"Hmm..." Shi Yueyi shook her head.

What happened?

I was originally planning to show off my assassination skills to my two grandfathers, but how come they just took action and completed the mission so easily?

"Snap—"

Qingluan Douluo casually tossed the Dream Eater in front of Shi Yueyi: "Guangling's arrow was just the right force; it didn't kill it. You can finish it off now."

A brief explanation of the classification of spiritual power in Douluo Continent III:

When humans are born, they possess the spiritual power of the [Spiritual Origin Realm]. This is the most fundamental difference between humans and soul beasts, and it is also the key to humans' intelligence.

The "spiritual connection" can be simply seen as the difference between a Soul Master and a human.

The "Spiritual Sea" is the dividing line between those with outstanding spiritual power and those with ordinary spiritual power.

【Lingyuan】 is equivalent to the spiritual power level of an ordinary Title Douluo.

As for the [Spirit Realm], it refers to the mental power level of a level 99 Limit Douluo.
