Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 233

"Old Yi, have you finished taking on your apprentice?" After finishing the important business, Lin Yun brought up Xue Qingci's matter.

Electrolux nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Indeed, this last of my inheritances has found a successor."

After Electrolux's investigation, Xue Qingci was indeed not the kind of psychologically twisted child. Even if she inherited his necromancy, she would not become like him. Moreover, one's temperament can be guided after birth. Electrolux believed that Xue Qingci would definitely use necromancy for the right purpose.

"Then congratulations on gaining such a fine disciple!" Lin Yun smiled and tossed something to Electrolux.

"Now that you have a disciple, you no longer need to reside in my Sea of ​​Spirit. Consider this piece of Life Gold a gift from me!"

Yes, what Lin Yun gave to Electrolux was a piece of Life Gold.

However, this piece of living gold was not the one inside the golden tortoiseshell, but the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife that Lin Yun purchased from the Starlight Auction House.

Lin Yun had Di Tian return the piece of Living Gold that the Golden Tortoise had eaten to the spring of the Lake of Life, replenishing the original Living Gold. This piece definitely cannot be touched.

But the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife doesn't matter. Lin Yun obtained it from elsewhere, so it's fine to give it to Electrolux.

How he chooses to use it is his own business.

Lin Yun wouldn't interfere.

But it's highly likely that it will be used on Xue Qingci.

Although she is temporarily out of danger because of the four soul bones over 50,000 years old that she absorbed into her limbs, it is only temporary. If nothing else happens, she will still die when she is around twenty years old.

With this piece of living gold, not only can Electrox find a new place to live, but Xue Qingci can also rely on this piece of living gold to heal her body and use necromancy.

You asked Lin Yun if he would feel bad about giving away a piece of gold meant for living beings.

I feel a little sorry for them, but not much.

The benefits of being cleansed by life force are limited; once is enough, and doing it multiple times is rather pointless—it's neither beneficial nor worth discarding.

It would be better to absorb two more divine-level soul bones.

After all, Electrolux helped him obtain the Sun Scripture, which has been of great help to him over the years. In the future, it will be a huge boost to his counterattack against the God Realm. Giving him a piece of the Gold of Life is definitely a good deal.

not to mention……

How can many things be measured by "loss" or "no loss"?

How boring it is to turn everything into a profit-driven endeavor.

Electrolux held the Gold of Life in his hand, lowered his eyelids, and remained silent for a long time before a smile appeared on his lips: "Thanks, Gold of Life, I'll accept it."

Since then, Electrolux hasn't felt this sense of being trusted for a long time.

Or rather, after he achieved the prestigious title of "Necromancer Saint," he never trusted anyone again, and never experienced the feeling of "friendship" again.

He was powerful, but also lonely.

The strong are always lonely. Electrolux doesn't care about this insignificant feeling, but who would dislike the feeling of having someone they can trust?

If before this, Lin Yun and Electrolux's relationship was more like a collaboration and a transaction, from this moment on, they could be considered friends.

To be Electrolux's friend...

It's really not an easy thing.

The rest of the time, Lin Yun left Electrolux and Xue Qingci alone. Absorbing the Life Gold took time, and resolving the hidden dangers in Xue Qingci's body also required time. In any case, after learning about the preciousness of the Life Gold, Xue Qingci was completely grateful to Lin Yun and Electrolux.

This is a true act of saving a life.

More than just saving her life, Lin Yun and Electrolux also helped her escape her past fate.

So what if they're powerful spirit beasts? So what if they're ghosts from another world?

Xue Qingci said that the Star Dou Great Forest was really too good to pass up, and whoever wanted to go back to the Dou Ling Empire could go back.

Anyway, she had never really experienced the feeling of family affection since she was a child. In the Douling Empire, she didn't even have a close relative whose name she could remember. Now that she saw through the Douling royal family's scheme against her, Xue Qingci felt even less pressure to betray them.

As for those four 50,000-year-old soul bones?

Lin Yun said, "I'll pay for it. From now on, Xue Qingci, you'll sell yourself to me and work for me."

And so, Electrolux gained an apprentice, while Lin Yun gained a cute little maid. Both of them won once, making it a win-win situation.

Only the Douling Empire lost.

On the third day after Lin Yun brought Xue Qingci back to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Douling team returned to Lingdou City and reported to the current emperor of the Douling Empire that Xue Qingci had been intercepted and killed by "Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu".

then……

The Xue family was furious.

The members of the Douling team were unaware of Xue Qingci's importance, thinking she was just a pampered princess. However, Xue Qingci actually represented the hope for a complete leap forward in the evolution of the Xue family's martial soul.

Now, all hope is shattered!

No one knows how Xue Qingci died in the original novel, but the Douling Empire in the original novel did not take any action.

But things are different now. Before they even started harvesting the fruit, Xue Qingci died prematurely, and they even recognized the identity of the person who intercepted and killed Xue Qingci.

The Douling Empire, incompetent in external warfare but adept at internal warfare, went completely mad. The Douling Emperor mobilized his army on the spot, abandoning even the border with the Tianhun Empire and sending them all to the border with the Xingluo Empire.

and--!

They also took out three level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells and one level-eight fixed-position soul-guided device, and launched them directly into the territory of the Star Luo Empire without any prior notice!

When the Sun Moon Empire tightly controlled the level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, the most powerful fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that the Sun Moon Empire could release were only level 8.

However, this number is extremely small.

There are always a few Soul Masters who want to get rich quick, so it's normal for them to sell some similar controlled Soul Guidance Devices. This Level 8 Fixed-Mount Soul Guidance Cannonball is the only one that the Douling Empire has preserved.

Its power is equivalent to the full-force attack of a Title Douluo of the Power Attack type, and its explosion range far exceeds the attack range of a Title Douluo.

The consequence was the complete annihilation of a Star Luo Empire legion stationed on the border with the Dou Ling Empire!

Three level 7 medals and one level 8 medal.

Even if you beat Xu Jiawei to death, he would never have imagined that the Douling Empire would inexplicably launch high-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells at their border troops, resulting in the annihilation of the entire legion.

Even the Soul Saint-level expert who was the leader of the group did not escape.

This completely caused an uproar!
