Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 85 Heading to Xingluo

……

Star City.

After resolving the issues concerning the four sects with single attributes, Nan Feng embarked on a spontaneous trip, dragging Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan along as they headed towards Xingluo City.

"I mean... couldn't you bring two more people?" Dugu Bo asked strangely.

That's Star Luo City, not Heaven Dou City!

He was confident that he could escape with the two of them from Tiandou City.

But in Star Luo City, the royal family's martial soul fusion technique alone would be enough to give them a hard time, not to mention the Soul Douluo and Soul Saint ministers.

Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City are two completely different concepts!

The titled Douluo dared to casually stroll into Heaven Dou City because their strongest members were only the three instructors of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

But even titled Douluo dare not trespass recklessly in Star Luo City!

The nobles of Xingluo and the nobles of Tiandou are two completely different things!

Moreover, the atmosphere here is such that they'll fight if they want to!

"What are you afraid of?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.

"With your Time Freeze skill plus your ninth soul skill, how many people in Star Luo City will survive?"

Dugu Bo's eye twitched violently. "I haven't lived enough yet!"

His ultimate move can indeed kill a whole bunch of people!

But the problem is that after he unleashes his ultimate move, those who are still alive will definitely go crazy and kill him!

"I need to make this clear to you: the more powerful a soul skill is, the more terrifying the soul power consumption. If I were to activate my eighth and ninth soul skills in combination, it would instantly consume nearly 70% of my soul power, causing me to enter a period of weakness. At that point, even a Soul Saint could kill me if they rushed up to me," Dugu Bo said.

Most Title Douluo's ninth soul skill will directly deplete at least 30% of their soul power. The more powerful the soul skill, the greater the consumption. Some ninth soul skills can even consume half of the soul power at once!

In battle, unless absolutely necessary, no one would willingly use such a terrifyingly energy-consuming soul skill.

After all, if the opponent happens to be able to counter this kind of soul skill, then we're doomed.

Both martial spirits and soul skills have a restraining relationship. Even a ten-thousand-year soul skill can be restrained by a thousand-year soul skill.

The consumption of a ten-thousand-year soul skill is completely different from that of a thousand-year soul skill!

In a true battle between Soul Masters, high-level Soul Skills are not easily unleashed. Even in battles between Title Douluos, they will most likely only activate their Martial Soul True Body once.

As for using the eighth or even ninth soul skill, unless someone is there to back you up, it means you're risking your life!

"I know," Nan Feng said.

The higher the age of the spirit ring, the greater the power of the spirit skill, but at the same time, the greater the consumption.

For a Title Douluo, something like the eighth or ninth soul skill can only be used once a day at most.

The battles between Soul Masters are not like the Great Soul Arena where they exchange skills; that's just an exhibition match. The real battles between Soul Masters are actually similar to those in the Hell Slaughter Arena, except that there are a few more low-limit Soul Skills and occasionally, Martial Soul True Forms are activated for a clash.

This is also the root cause of the advantage of self-created soul skills.

The most direct example is that the title of "Number One Weapon Soul in the World" may change, since these titles are based on the heights that the strongest person with that martial soul can reach. However, the title of "Number One Sect in the World" has always been the Clear Sky Sect. Moreover, since its emergence, it has stood for a thousand years, and the Clear Sky Sect's status has never been shaken in the slightest. This is because of the self-created soul skills passed down from them, such as the Nine Absolutes of Clear Sky, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, and the profound technique of exploding rings.

Almost every sect has its own unique and self-created soul skills, but none can compare to the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect.

And don't bring up any angelic family lineage that has lasted for 20,000 years. Living a long time doesn't mean being powerful. Ability has nothing to do with seniority. Times are progressing, humanity is progressing, and technology is progressing as well. If the strongest things in a world are all old things, then it can only mean that this world is heading towards destruction.

After all, each generation is worse than the last; what future is there to speak of?

When an individual, a family, or a country knows how to boast about how great their ancestors were, it means they're not doing well now. Because they can't boast about their own achievements, they can only boast about their ancestors, just like those who like to brag about having a friend.

Only those who are doing poorly in life like to reminisce about the past.

"You know that you shouldn't have invited two more people?" Dugu Bo said.

"No need, I'm not going to fight," Nan Feng said.

"Besides, if a real fight breaks out, you just need to unleash your ultimate move, and I'll take care of the rest."

The destructive power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is no joke. With its extreme gold attribute, it can almost tear space apart with brute force. It's all about violence.

Moreover, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's true terror lies in its berserk ability, its super-explosive speed and power, and its rampage. Judging from the current age of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear it can transform into, once it activates its berserk mode, unless it is a peak Douluo of level 95 or above, no one will dare to stand in its way.

If a fight really breaks out, Dugu Bo will unleash a burst of damage first, poisoning most of the opponents to death. In a highly poisonous environment, who would dare to stand in front of a berserk Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?

Moreover, if one doesn't work, he can have two.

Even if he couldn't withstand the beating, no one could stop him from running away.

"Then why did you insist on bringing Yanyan along?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Isn't this because I'm worried you'll run away secretly?" Nan Feng said.

"I'll take her with me, it's safe."

"..."

Dugu Bo and the other looked at Nan Feng with strange expressions.

Do they dare to run?

……

After several days of trekking, Nan Feng and his companions finally arrived at Xingluo City.

It was no less prosperous than Heaven Dou City, but it was filled with a sharp and fierce aura, somewhat similar to Spirit City, after all, the folk customs and culture of Star Luo were like that.

The establishment of the Heaven Dou Empire was a union between the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the major kingdoms below it. Because the Heaven Dou Royal Family was the strongest and they disliked war, when the empire was founded, the Heaven Dou Royal Family did not choose to unite through war, but chose to negotiate. This is why the autonomy of the four major kingdoms and one duchy was preserved.

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

The establishment of the Star Luo Empire was much bloodier. There was no negotiation whatsoever; it was all about annihilating the nation. For most of the time, the history of the Star Luo Empire's founding was about doing the same thing: "exterminating the race and the species."

The Star Luo Empire has only one culture, and most regions are highly unified. This is not a policy issue, but rather because they have eliminated those who are different from them.

The Star Luo Empire simply wouldn't bring up these matters proactively. Even if the Heaven Dou Empire condemned them in this regard, they would gloss over it, neither admitting nor denying it. After all, in peacetime, these bloody events were not honorable.

Despite its significant internal problems, the Heaven Dou Empire has always possessed the strength to confront the Star Luo Empire. This is not only because the Spirit Hall is stirring up trouble, but also because the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire are not fools. If the Star Luo were to attack, the army would not care whether you are a commoner or a noble; they only care about military merit. Therefore, the people of the Heaven Dou Empire are relatively unified in their attitude towards the Star Luo issue. Even if they do not help, they will definitely not cause trouble.

Upon entering Xingluo City, Nanfeng asked Dugu Bo to inform the Martial Soul Temple, while he himself led Dugu Yan directly towards the Xingluo Imperial Palace.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" As they approached the palace, Dugu Yan pulled Nan Feng back.

"What's inappropriate about it?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.

"I am an elder, albeit an honorary one. In terms of status, I am on par with titled Douluo elders. How dare that old bastard refuse to see me?"

"But the palace is their territory. If we go in like this, aren't we just sending ourselves into their encirclement?" Dugu Yan said.

"What are you afraid of with me here?" Nan Feng said.

"It's precisely because you're here that I'm afraid!" Dugu Yan said straightforwardly.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be nervous about entering the palace, since no one would want to offend her grandfather.

but!

Nanfeng is different!

"I thought you would trust me more during this time, but I didn't expect you to be just like them. Fine, if you don't want to go, I'll take you."

With that, Nan Feng hoisted Dugu Yan onto his shoulder and continued forward.

Dugu Yan looked bewildered. "Can't you go by yourself?"

"No, I'm not intimidating enough. It would be awkward if those old geezers attacked me," Nan Feng said.

"Aren't you worried they'll attack me?"

"I believe in your grandfather's authority! You should believe in him too!"

"I don't believe you! I'm not going!"

"Young man, don't be so shy. You should broaden your horizons. I'm doing this for your own good."

"What a load of crap! Don't drag me down with you if you're courting death!"

"Not at all. As the old saying goes, if you don't take the fall for me, who will?"

"..."
