Douluo Continent: I Raise God-Level Soul Beasts

Su Ze smiled and said, "We just won the game, so we should celebrate with our teammates and summarize our experience. If you sneak out to see me, wouldn't that hurt your teammates' feelings?"

"Nothing is more important than seeing Brother Su Ze. Besides, our Spirit Hall team has a bye tomorrow and doesn't need to play a match, so we have plenty of time to talk to our teammates."

Bibi Dong laughed and said, "Moreover, the Haotian Sect underestimated their opponent and has already been defeated by me. The upcoming promotion matches will be much easier."

"Oh? So confident?"

After rigorous preliminary rounds, only fifteen teams advanced to the knockout stage:

Star Luo Royal Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Spirit Hall Team, Canghui Academy, Purple Star Academy, Auckland Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Elephant Armor Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Thunder Academy, Heavenly Water Academy, Fabia Academy, Beast Academy, Barak Academy, Plant Academy.

The competition is a two-on-two format, so it's inevitable that one team will receive a bye and become the lucky one.

"Of course, on the continent, the strongest Soul Masters right now are our Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect. Our Spirit Hall recruits Soul Masters from all over the world and has already gathered half of the Soul Masters on the continent, so the strength of our student body is naturally beyond question. As for the Clear Sky Sect's new generation, there are the Clear Sky Twins, who have extraordinary talents and have overwhelmed the Soul Masters of the era. They are known as the invincible among their peers on the continent, and their reputation is even more resounding than my teacher's back then."

"Therefore, the Clear Sky Sect is our Spirit Hall's most formidable enemy."

"However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not bad either. Its affiliated sect, the Seven Kill Sword School, is one of the four lower sects. Combined with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, its power is amazing. I think they may also achieve surprising results in this competition."

When Bibi Dong spoke, she was both proud and cautious, clearly having a very accurate understanding of her opponent's position. Having an opponent like her was truly terrifying.

But if she becomes indecisive, that's a disaster...

"Unfortunately, it seems that neither Tang Hao nor Tang Xiao participated this time."

Su Ze said that he still recognized the Haotian Hammer. If these two were present, they would definitely go up and fight Dong'er to the death.

"Well, it's okay, I'll crush them all in the finals!"

Bibi Dong said with unwavering conviction.

"Then you're going to steal the spotlight, but you're still very young. Don't push yourself too hard at the last minute, since they have the advantage of age."

Su Ze said with concern, "The championship is not important, your safety is the most important."

These words warmed Bibi Dong's heart. It seemed that even her teacher had never cared for her like this. Her teacher would tell her that she was the most outstanding woman on the continent, and everyone else would become her foil. She would defeat everyone and stand at the peak, looking down on other Soul Masters.

But I won't tell her, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future..."

"You're so kind, Brother Su Ze."

Bibi Dong threw herself into Su Ze's arms, murmuring something.

Then he looked up, rubbed his nose, and said, "Anyway, I don't care about Tang Hao giving me cows or horses, I just want the championship, otherwise how can I be worthy of the third spirit ring that Brother Su Ze helped me absorb!"

"Besides, I still have some trump cards I haven't used yet, so it's not necessarily true that I can't beat the Haotian Sect team."

Bibi Dong blinked, lifted her hair, and showed Su Ze her fair and smooth nape: "Look, I still have the Thunder Dragon Soul Bone. My strongest attack is when I use the Soul Bone Skill in combination with my third Soul Ring!"

"Alright, then I'll be waiting to see you utterly defeat the Haotian Sect."

Su Ze also knew some things about the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao. The Clear Sky Sect was essentially a group that bullied the weak, acted tyrannically and barbarically, and were vengeful. Tang Hao later had a son with a grass spirit beast, and became an enemy of the Spirit Hall...

Su Ze naturally hoped that Bibi Dong could win against Haotian Sect, so that she would have enough self-protection ability in the future and would not be bullied by the Tang family.

"Huh? Is this the pet you brought, Brother Su Ze?"

At this moment, Bibi Dong also discovered the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. Seeing the jade-tailed scorpion, which resembled ice crystal agate, she was quite curious.

"Yes, I found it in the north a while ago. It's ice-cold all over and very well-behaved; it never stings people randomly."

"See? I told you it was honest."

Su Ze grabbed the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and placed it in front of Bibi Dong. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was already limp and powerless under Su Ze's grasp, and could only let him do as he pleased. How could it not behave?

"This is……"

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment. Since returning from You Ran Manor, she had diligently read books and become familiar with rare and precious treasures. She remembered seeing a description of something similar to this scorpion in a book:

"Is this an Ice Jade Scorpion? And it already has several golden stripes on it, it's very precious!"

Is it very precious?

"correct."

"How many gold soul coins could I get if I sold them?"

Su Ze blurted out something that almost scared Hyotei out of their wits:

Holy crap? Selling me?! My Hyotei?! Only one left! Priceless!

"Hmm... priceless treasure."

Bibi Dong seemed to be deep in thought, and then said a price that made Su Ze very envious.

Priceless treasure? The Ice Jade Scorpion that I casually caught in the icy world of the North is actually priceless?

What does "priceless" mean? Does it mean no one can afford it?

Well, to be precise, generally no one can catch it; usually, those who try to catch it die.

"Brother Su Ze, are you short of money? Tell me, I have money, money is the last thing I lack, here you go!"

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and figured it was normal that Su Ze, who lived in seclusion in the manor for many years, didn't have many such material possessions. So she took out two heavy bags of soul coins from her soul tool and placed them in front of Su Ze.

Upon opening it, it was filled with glittering gold soul coins!

"so much?"

Su Ze raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, the Spirit Hall is really rich. Even a little girl has so much money.

You should know that Gold Soul Coins are the most valuable of all Soul Coins!

1 Gold Soul Coin = 10 Silver Soul Coins = 1000 Bronze Soul Coins!

(Note: I felt that the original Soul Coin system was not well set up, so I slightly changed the exchange rate.)

Most transactions in the market involve copper soul coins, and the value of one copper soul coin may be equivalent to one or two yuan in modern terms.

These two large bags are full of gold soul coins, there should be 100,000 of them. Even in Heaven Dou City, that's enough to buy a luxury villa!

Enough for an ordinary person to live on for ten lifetimes!

Soul Master, what a lucrative profession!

"Unfortunately, I cannot accept it."

If word gets out, how will I, Su Ze, save face?

I don't want this money, whoever wants it can take it!

I'm not going to eat this gigolo's rice; whoever wants to can come and eat it!

“Take it. Anyway, this is just pocket money allocated by the temple for the Holy Maiden. I don’t usually spend much money, so I don’t need it.”

"Anyway, I won't take the money back after I've already paid it out."

Bibi Dong had a sudden inspiration and said with a humph, "How about this money be part of my dowry? I'll give it to you now, and when we get married, I'll give you a few tens of thousands less gold soul coins, how about that?"

You can give the money to Brother Su Ze and also get a verbal engagement with him—killing two birds with one stone! Bibi Dong, you're so clever!

"Little guy, you're already thinking about dowry and marriage now, what will you be like in the future? How about this, I'll give you the Ice Jade Scorpion, consider these gold soul coins as payment for buying this pet, how about that?"

Su Ze came up with a solution: since this Ice Jade Scorpion was priceless, then 100,000 gold soul coins were still worth it.

In fact, if this were truly a cash-and-goods deal, Bibi Dong would have made a killing.

During the time she spent with Su Ze, Ice Emperor's cultivation level had skyrocketed from over 300,000 years to over 500,000 years, and was approaching the 600,000-year mark.

Even if you kill it, you can get a super red ring and soul bone that are 500,000 to 600,000 years old. Their value is immeasurable. Let alone 100,000 gold soul coins, even if it's several million or tens of millions, there are people who are willing to buy it!

This is no longer about money; it's about strength, a matter of the rise and fall of a sect, reaching its peak, and bringing glory to its ancestors!

However, Bibi Dong was not stupid. She knew that the Ice Jade Scorpion was no ordinary soul beast and that she could not control it. Keeping it by her side would be dangerous.

"I don't care, this is Su Ze's dowry anyway, so it's decided!"

"Alright, let's take this money and go out to have some fun!"

"How about this money is considered as my fee for accompanying Brother Su Ze? Brother Su Ze can pay for all our meals and drinks when we go out. Is that alright?"

"All right……"

Su Ze sighed, realizing he couldn't win against Bibi Dong's stubbornness.

Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion also breathed a sigh of relief: You might not believe it, but I, one of the three kings of the far north and one of the ten ferocious beasts, was almost sold as a pet!

Would you believe it if I told you?

Soon, Bibi Dong took Su Ze to the street:

"Since Brother Su Ze has come all the way to Tiandou City, how can we not go out and have some fun!"

Chapter 21 The Appearance of the Twin Stars of Haotian, Night Market Turmoil

Tian Dou City, Dongxing Night Market.

The bustling streets were filled with people and various food stalls, restaurants, teahouses, inns, casinos... everything was available, no less than the modern nightlife scene of dazzling lights and extravagant entertainment.

The Soul Master Competition, in particular, has made the nightlife in Tiandou City exceptionally vibrant in recent months.

Many people recognized Bibi Dong and greeted her, but they dared not overstep their bounds. After all, she was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and she had the strength to instantly kill a Soul Sect expert. How could a few passersby dare to provoke her?

Strangely, the man beside the Holy Maiden, although handsome, was not dressed richly and looked like a farmer.

How could a princess as beautiful as Her Highness end up with someone like that? Do all the accomplished people these days prefer to dress modestly and plainly?

This sparked a lively discussion: "Who is that person next to Saintess Bibi Dong?"

"I don't know. He looks ordinary. I've never seen him before. Is there such a person among the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall?"

"I don't know. Perhaps it's a newly recruited Soul Master from the Spirit Hall? Someone who protects Bibi Dong?"

"No matter who he is, Bibi Dong is really beautiful. She's only twelve years old and already so outstanding. I wonder what kind of stunning beauty she will become in three to five years. I wonder who will be able to marry her!"

"If I could win Bibi Dong's heart, I'd gladly shorten my life by thirty years!"

"..."

Not only these discussions, but also some travelers who made a living by performing with soul beasts and pets have fallen into distress since Su Ze arrived.

That night, they all crashed.

Because Su Ze has arrived.

The Beast Tamer has arrived, and the aura of the Beast Taming Domain is precisely transmitted to every soul beast. All the soul beasts can only submit, which amazes those who make a living from it.
