In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Chapter 364 On the Eve of the Destruction of the Haotian Sect (4k)

"Aji, what are you looking at?" Bibi Dong, nestled in Lan Ji's arms, couldn't help but ask when she saw Lan Ji gazing up at the sky.

"It's nothing." Lan Ji smiled and shook his head. "Let's continue to add soul rings to the Haotian Bamboo Shoots."

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Bibi Dong and said, "Dong'er, don't increase the age of your soul ring for now. Qinglian just told me that the Asura God of the God Realm is watching us."

"It's the Asura God again... I'll kill him one day..." A murderous intent flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She suppressed the urge to kill and took out two soul bones left behind by the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape from her soul tool. "Aji, these are the two soul bones left behind by the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Soul bones dropped by 100,000-year-old soul beasts are not supposed to be duplicates of a soul master's own soul bones. However, because they died at the same time, and you didn't have time to absorb one of them, you ended up with duplicates. Those two beasts were restless even in death, and they both dropped their left leg bones. Otherwise, your soul bones would be full."

Lan Ji took the Titan Ape's left leg bone, but his face showed no disappointment. He smiled and said, "That's perfect, we can each have one. Anyway, I have better options for the torso bones, I only need this Titan Ape's left leg bone."

"One piece for each person?" Bibi Dong was puzzled. Her soul bones were already full, so how could she absorb more?

Lan Ji leaned close to Bibi Dong's ear and whispered, "Do you remember how I separated the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone from Tang San's body during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament?"

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up. "You mean?"

Lan Ji smiled and said, "In the end, a soul bone is just a kind of energy. If the soul bones in your torso and head are separated, it will probably have an adverse effect on you. But the soul bones in your limbs are fine. Your left and right arms are both 100,000-year-old soul bones, so you don't need to replace them. You only need to replace your left and right leg bones. As long as you absorb the new soul bones in time, it won't affect your cultivation level. But you'll have to deal with that when you get back, since there's a shameless guy watching you in the shadows."

...............

Meanwhile, while Lan Ji was absorbing the Titan Giant Ape's left leg bone, Tang San was in a tragic situation.

More than half a year has passed since he took the Rakshasa God's test. Although his cultivation level has advanced rapidly under the Rakshasa God's cultivation method, reaching the Soul Saint level, he has yet to complete the second test of the Rakshasa God. Dai Mubai is in the same situation.

[Rakshasa God's Second Trial: Giving Dai Mubai an injection. Completion progress: 99.99%]

[First test of the Black-level Five Trials: Tang San gave me an injection. Completion progress: 99.99%]

At the Rakshasa Altar, Tang San and Dai Mubai, drenched in sweat after another battle, heard the voice of the Demon Scythe in their minds and were on the verge of tears.

"Third brother, what on earth is Rakshasa God up to? Why did he design such a disgusting test?" Dai Mubai, his face flushed, got up from Tang San's arms, took some clothes from the side, and wiped the sweat from Tang San's forehead. Nearly eight months of divine trials had made him begin to be infatuated with Tang San.

Perhaps even Dai Mubai himself didn't realize that his temperament was transforming into that of Dongfang Bubai from the CCTV version of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. And Tang San was the "Lotus Brother" in his heart, Yang Lianting.

"Just call me Xiao San like before." Tang San's lips twitched, and he pushed away Dai Mubai's old hand. A chill ran down his spine. He swore that he had not been caught up in it at all; everything was for the sake of completing the Divine Trial.

"Okay, Third Brother." Dai Mubai licked his lips, his smile unchanged.

"Ahem..." Tang San coughed lightly and added, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on someone, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, starves their body, empties their resources, and frustrates their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve and increase their abilities. Isn't this kind of test also a way to temper our character?"

"That's true, then let's keep working hard." Dai Mubai didn't understand what Tang San was saying; he only knew that he could continue the Divine Trial.

Tang San nodded reluctantly. As long as he could revive Xiao Wu, his father, his mother, and take revenge on Lan Ji and the Spirit Hall, he was willing to endure all the suffering and sins.

Three minutes later, with a spasm in Tang San and Dai Mubai's bodies, the progress of the divine test finally reached 100%.

[The second test of the Rakshasa God is complete. Reward: 20% affinity with the Rakshasa God.]

[The first test of the Black-level Five Trials is complete. Soul power has increased by one level. Rakshasa cultivation method.]

As soon as the Demon Scythe finished speaking, Tang San felt his control over the Rakshasa Demon Scythe increase even further. Meanwhile, Dai Mubai's soul power increased by one level.

"Haha, Third Brother, I've finally completed the Divine Trial! I've also obtained Level 1 Soul Power and the same Rakshasa God cultivation method as you." Dai Mubai's expression was a mix of excitement and disappointment, because this meant he could no longer participate in the trial with Tang San.

"Congratulations." Tang San's face showed a relieved smile, but before he could be happy, the voice of the Demon Scythe rang in his mind again.

[The Rakshasa God's third test: As a successor of the gods, how can one be without the company of the opposite sex? Give injections to three women within three minutes. Failure to do so within the time limit constitutes failure of the divine test.]

Tang San felt an urge to curse. Three minutes to find three women? Where was he supposed to find them?

Left with no other choice, Tang San looked at the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch at his waist. The rabbit babies had all grown up. Of the seven offspring, two were female, and counting 'Xiao Wu', there were exactly three.

Female rabbits should also be considered the opposite sex, right?

With this in mind, Tang San took on the role of a veterinarian.

.................

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, the day has come for the Haotian Sect and Lan Ji to settle their grudges.

...Haotian Sect.

The once vibrant sect with over two hundred direct disciples is now deserted.

Only the first and second generation disciples remain.

They were all ready to go, except for Tang Yuehua, they all stood on the sect's earthen fortress complex.

All this was to welcome Lan Ji's arrival.

Tang Xiao stood tall at the highest point of the earthen fortress complex, his disdainful gaze sweeping over the buildings below. With his back to the three elders, he asked arrogantly, "Second Uncle, how are things arranged?"

The Second Elder nodded and said, “Reporting to the Sect Master, apart from Yuehua, all the first and second generation direct disciples have arrived. This includes you, the Sect Master, and the three of us old folks. There are four Title Douluo, and the remaining first and second generation disciples are all at least Soul Saint level, totaling thirty-six people. The remaining third and fourth generation disciples have all been moved to a safe location in the back mountain.”

This represents all of the Haotian Sect's high-end combat power.

"Third Uncle, what did the Heavenly Dou Empire say?" Tang Xiao asked the Third Elder.

For nearly a year, the only two exits of the mountain range where the Clear Sky Sect is located have been blocked by the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo. They have made a threatening statement that if the Clear Sky Sect violates the treaty of closing the sect and steps out of this mountain range, they will launch a full-scale attack on the Clear Sky Sect and kill them all.

Unfortunately, apart from the four remaining Title Douluos, none of the Haotian Sect members possess the ability to fly.

Therefore, the choice of who would go to the Heavenly Dou Empire fell to the Third Elder.

"Sect Master, because Tang Hao caused chaos in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace more than a year ago, and his son Tang San and Dugu Bo killed Emperor Xue Ye, Emperor Qinghe did not receive me. However, he gave a reply that the Heaven Dou Empire would not interfere in the feud between the Clear Sky Sect and Lan Ji," the Third Elder said respectfully.

Tang Xiao continued, "What about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Similarly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was also a target for the Clear Sky Sect's assistance. Although they looked down on the support-type sect that had been destroyed by the Spirit Hall, it still possessed high-end combat power. If they could obtain the help of two Title Douluos from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that would be beneficial.

They originally wanted to ask the Star Luo Empire for help, but unfortunately this was within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if the Star Luo Empire agreed to help the Haotian Sect, it would be of little use and would instead damage the Haotian Sect's reputation, making people think that the Haotian Sect was afraid of Lan Ji.

The Third Elder shook his head helplessly. "Ning Fengzhi didn't agree directly. He kept making excuses, only saying that he would try to dissuade Lan Ji."

"Hmph, as expected of a weathervane, always switching sides. He talks about the three upper sects being of one mind and one body all day long, but when it really matters, he washes his hands of it better than anyone else. He did the same when we were besieged by the Spirit Hall, and he still does the same now when facing a bastard." Tang Xiao sneered and said in a deep voice, "I don't need the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I can kill that brat today and avenge my brother Hao."

Because Lan Ji killed Tang Hao and subsequently caused the Clear Sky Sect to lose two Title Douluo elders, Tang Xiao devoted all his energy to increasing his soul power over the past year. Driven by hatred, he broke through to level 97 earlier than in the original story. With the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique, the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky, he believed that even if Lan Ji switched to cultivating a second martial soul, he would still be no match for him.

After all, from level 95 onwards, each level up represents a world of difference.

Not to mention, his soul power has reached level 97, so he is not afraid at all even when facing three level 96 titled Douluos at the same time.

...On a high mountain a kilometer away from the Haotian Sect's castle.

"Is this the secluded retreat of the Haotian Sect?"

Although Ning Fengzhi decided to stay out of it and did not agree to help Haotian Sect, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be absent from such a grand occasion?

To guard against the Spirit Hall personnel blocking the entrance to the Clear Sky Sect, he brought both Sword and Bone, two Title Douluos, with him today. Ning Rongrong, as the young sect leader, was naturally among them. Only Oscar and the remaining disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remained to guard the sect. In any case, there was nothing left for the Spirit Hall to covet in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now.

"Dad, is this the Haotian Sect?" Ning Rongrong stood at the front, looking down at the entire Haotian Sect, and couldn't help but ask.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slowly, walked to Ning Rongrong's side, and chuckled, "Rongrong, take a good look. It's been a year since we last met, and Lan Ji's strength has probably become even more terrifying. Today, perhaps we can witness the birth of a legend."

"But Dad, didn't you say you wouldn't help the Haotian Sect? Why did you come today?" Ning Rongrong raised her pretty face in confusion, looking at her father with some nervousness.

"Silly girl." Ning Fengzhi chuckled wryly as he rubbed his daughter's head.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father, and the same applies to daughters.

How could Ning Rongrong's father, Ning Fengzhi, not know what she was thinking?

Ever since learning that Lan Ji was Tang Ritian, Ning Rongrong has become increasingly indifferent to Oscar. Every time Oscar proposes, she always manages to find a reason to refuse.

Ning Fengzhi knew that his daughter still held a sliver of hope for Lan Ji.

Given Lan Ji's talent and current status, he would be more than happy if his daughter could be with him.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain; the falling flowers longed for the flowing water, but the water remained indifferent.

Just as Lan Ji said before, some things, once destroyed, are destroyed forever.

It can never be restored to its original state.

"Dad, you haven't answered me yet," Ning Rongrong asked anxiously. She was worried that her father would help the Haotian Sect against Lan Ji.

"Don't worry, we're just here to watch the show, we won't help the Haotian Sect," Ning Fengzhi replied affirmatively.

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief and then asked the question that had been on her mind the most: "Dad, do you think Brother Lan Ji can win...?"

Lan Ji had taken down two Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect, a fact he hadn't mentioned to outsiders, and the Clear Sky Sect certainly wouldn't publicize it. Therefore, Ning Rongrong's understanding of Lan Ji was still based on the Heaven Dou Palace Incident: defeating the weakest Title Douluo, Dugu Bo, and killing Tang Ritian, whose cultivation had regressed to Soul Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo beside him, "You'll have to ask Uncle Sword for that."

Sword Douluo shook his head, his expression grave. "It's probably very risky. If it's just Tang Lie, even if he advances to Title Douluo, Lan Ji's chances of winning are still very high. The problem is that the Clear Sky Sect might use their numbers to overwhelm Lan Ji. They might use the entire sect's strength to capture him. There are four Title Douluos standing there. The sect leader, Tang Xiao, has the same soul power as me, reaching level ninety-seven. Also, did you notice that Tang Lie doesn't seem to be standing here today? It seems they're waiting for Lan Ji to walk right into their trap."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately panicked and grabbed Ning Fengzhi's hand, "What should we do? Dad, you must save Brother Lan Ji later!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo exchanged glances, their lips twitching involuntarily. They realized that Ning Rongrong seemed to be somewhat possessed. Perhaps they shouldn't have brought her today. If Lan Ji truly possessed the strength to attack the Clear Sky Sect, would she need their help?

Conversely, facing four Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect, with the Spirit Hall eyeing the Clear Sky Sect from the outside, even if they escaped the Clear Sky Sect with Lan Ji, wouldn't they be surrounded and annihilated by the Spirit Hall?

............

Meanwhile, in Wuhun City, in the Pope's private chamber, Lan Ji sat cross-legged on the ground, with seven spirit rings radiating from his body.

Red, red, red, red, red, red.

The seventh red spirit ring is becoming increasingly deep in color, and is faintly turning into crimson gold.

This was the only divinely bestowed soul ring that Bibi Dong received as a reward when she completed the eighth trial of the Rakshasa God. It can grant the user the soul skills they need most and the highest level soul ring they can withstand.

Because Bibi Dong's soul power and soul rings were already full, they were left to Lan Ji to serve as the seventh soul ring for the Haotian Bamboo Shoot.

With his powerful physique, Lan Ji is working to transform it into a million-year soul ring.

P.S.: That's all for today. I've been too busy lately, and besides, I ran out of things to write about in the later stages of Douluo Continent. I'll catch up on what I owe in the Battle Through the Heavens arc. Please vote for me! Please give me your monthly tickets!

Chapter 365 The Demise of the Haotian Sect (6k)

Lan Ji's first martial soul, the Azure Lotus, ninth soul ring, and his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Bamboo Shoot, first soul ring, were taken from the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, respectively. With both completely sacrificed, his soul power soared from level 90 to level 94.5.

By fusing with the left leg bone of the Titan Ape, his soul power successfully advanced to level ninety-five.

The second to fourth spirit rings of the Haotian Bamboo Shoot were taken from the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, who were nearly 100,000 years old. Just like Tang San in the original story, when he absorbed three spirit rings at the same time, the second to fourth spirit rings underwent a chain reaction and mutated simultaneously, increasing to 100,000 years old.

The fifth and sixth spirit rings were taken from two 100,000-year-old spirit beasts in an unknown ancient forest, which were found through the Azure Lotus Space.

With the blessing of five 100,000-year soul rings, Lan Ji's soul power soared from level 95 to level 98.
