Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 365 Nan Shuishui's Rationality

"Compensation...compensation..." Nan Shuishui murmured softly as she opened the wooden box, ignoring her daughter's expressionless face.

Earthworm and golden melon, a miraculous herb?

After the wooden box was opened, a bright golden fruit immediately illuminated Nan Shuishui's still charming face, making her eyes squint involuntarily.

The light wasn't particularly dazzling, but looking directly at the fruit was so bright it felt like your eyes were being filled with gold.

Wow, a true golden legend!

The moment Nan Shuishui saw the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, her martial spirit conveyed an intense longing to her, making her feel restless and agitated. This feeling was countless times stronger than the occasional instinctive desires her body had experienced since her husband's death.

Eat it!

Eat it now, eat it and you'll be transformed!

Nan Shuishui closed the wooden box with rapid breathing, swallowed hard, and only then did she realize that her throat was already extremely dry.

"A divine herb! It truly is a divine herb!" Nan Shuishui's feelings were complicated, and she recalled the records about divine herbs in her mind.

This is the ultimate treasure that all Soul Masters on the entire Douluo Continent have been searching for for the past ten thousand years, especially for those from traditional Douluo Continent sects.

The feeling deep within her soul was indeed correct; the celestial herbs could truly transform her, bringing immense benefits even though she was already in her forties, and could even help her break through to the Title Douluo level.

Normally speaking, the potential of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has already been almost exhausted.

In Douluo Continent, besides talent, resources are equally important. She had the entire Earth Dragon Gate as her backing, which enabled her to quickly advance to the Soul Douluo level. But after reaching the Soul Douluo level, she would need to grind it out slowly.

With Nan Shuishui's current cultivation level, she might not be able to advance one level in a year. It would be good if she could reach level 89 within fifteen years. After reaching level 89, it would be normal for her to be stuck for ten or twenty years without breaking through the title.

Therefore, the fact that Nan Shuishui was able to break through to the title level around the age of seventy or eighty already shows that she has exceptional talent.

The strength of the Earth Dragon Martial Soul is inherently limited. Otherwise, the Earth Dragon Sect would not have been constantly suppressed by the Heavenly Dragon Sect and would not have been unable to turn the tide.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon is undoubtedly a treasure that can turn their Earth Dragon Sect around. Originally, she estimated that it would take her another thirty or forty years to break through to the title level, but if she eats the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Nan Shuishui will be able to touch the threshold of the title level in five years at most, and in ten years at most, Nan Shuishui will be able to condense a soul core and reach the bottleneck of level ninety.

Evolution is the greatest function of celestial herbs!

Nan Shuishui's limitation is simply that her martial soul strength cannot keep up, causing her potential to be exhausted. However, if her martial soul evolves again, the path to becoming a titled master will be almost effortless for her!

"Compensation, taken without permission!" Nan Shuishui immediately thought of the extremely cold well in her sect's secret place. Even with her Soul Douluo cultivation, she couldn't stay in that well for long.

Only the successive sect leaders of the Earth Dragon Sect know a little about this well. The Ice Extreme Divine Crystal without Ice Spirit that the Earth Dragon Sect's ancestors mined is now kept in Nan Shuishui's hands.

Nan Shuishui knew that the sect's secret realm contained a treasure, and she had once tried to retrieve the treasure from the well, but in the end she discovered that even with her Soul Douluo cultivation level, she couldn't sink very deep.

Apart from that well, there really isn't anything in the entire Earth Dragon Gate that even Nan Shuishui can't see through.

That... Lord of the Soul Hall, what he meant by taking without asking was probably the thing under the well, right?

They actually offered a fairy herb fruit as compensation; that's really generous of them...

Limit Douluo!

Even without compensation, the other party could easily wipe out the entire Earth Dragon Gate and take the treasure for themselves. They might even have to thank the other party for sparing their lives.

Nan Shuishui smiled self-deprecatingly to herself.

To possess a mountain of treasure without realizing it is a crime, even for a common man to be guilty of possessing a treasure. The other party didn't destroy her Dragon Gate; instead, after taking the treasure, they even offered compensation—something Nan Shui Shui hadn't expected. To put it bluntly, even if the other party had taken everything, she wouldn't have known.

Because she didn't even have the ability to explore the depths of the well, she didn't even know what was hidden inside, so how could she confirm whether the treasures in the treasure land had been stolen?

"Qiuqiu, this is very important. You must forget everything that happened tonight, do you understand?" Nan Shuishui put away the wooden box, turned to look at Nan Qiuqiu, and said with a serious expression.

"Forget that those two people came to see you today, and forget what they said to you. Nothing happened tonight. You stayed in your room the whole time, and only came to talk to me because you were upset about the loss in the competition. That's all you know, understand?"

Nan Qiuqiu nodded blankly.

She had never seen her mother with such a solemn expression, nor had she ever been asked to do anything by her mother so seriously. And when she thought of the words "Limit Douluo," a sense of unease arose in Nan Qiuqiu's heart.

Young people are full of curiosity. Nan Qiuqiu is very smart, but she is ultimately not mature enough.

Nan Shuishui knew her daughter's personality very well; she was not a girl who could settle down. Nan Shuishui could only sigh: "Qiuqiu, you have to understand that in this world, strength is everything. I can only tell you that we are not strong enough. The fact that the other party did not wipe out our Earth Dragon Sect is already the greatest act of charity."

"Never...never think about this again, and never mention it to anyone."

"If you still have this doubt in your heart when you take over as the leader of the Earth Dragon Gate in the future, then come to me again and I will explain everything to you. As for now, forget everything and pretend that nothing ever happened."

Whatever the other party's purpose, whatever they took from my sect's secret territory, none of that matters anymore. What matters is that the other party's strength is beyond my reach, and I have already felt their sincerity.

This earth dragon gold melon, though called compensation, is less a moral bottom line for the other party and a hush money payment from them.

If you are sensible, then it will be compensation.

However, if he doesn't know what's good for him, then this Earth Dragon Golden Melon will serve as hush money, and will completely 'silence' him, as well as the entire Earth Dragon Sect behind him.

Even though Nan Qiuqiu was very curious, she suppressed her curiosity at this moment.

Some things, if you recklessly pursue curiosity, can really lead to your death.

Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Unconventional Narration

My soul transmigrates into Huo Yuhao's body, and I'm bound to a narrator.

"I'll treat you to some meat. Let's pretend the unpleasantness that just happened never occurred."

[The evil Huo Yuhao definitely forgot to say the word "great".]

Huo Yuhao: ? ? ?

Is your narration serious?
