Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

The second level of body refinement is still far from being able to bear a 100,000-year soul ring, even with the help of the ancestors. Yu Xiaoheng cannot use that Holy Dragon Soul Ring.

Given that a sixth spirit ring is destined to be less than 100,000 years old and difficult to find, the spirit ring of the Soft Bone Rabbit is acceptable.

What if we could trick Rou'er into offering a sacrifice?

Yu Xiaoheng calculated the feasibility in his mind. The process of sacrifice is not limited by the usual level or physical endurance. Theoretically speaking, even if he is only level 58 now, as long as Rou'er is willing to sacrifice herself, he will have a chance to forcibly absorb this 100,000-year soul ring.

Once he obtains this spirit ring, his strength will undergo a qualitative change.

For the sake of this huge profit, Yu Xiaoheng did not hesitate to reveal his true identity to Rou'er at this moment.

However, he was cautious by nature.

He didn't directly reveal his Purple-Gold True Dragon Martial Soul to prove himself. He simply sat there and communicated with Rou'er through words.

Chapter 380 Don't Talk About Things That Damage Friendship

An eerie silence fell over the air.

Two seconds later, the wariness in Rou'er's eyes disappeared, and she returned to her usual lively self.

"Are you really Yu Xiaoheng?"

She looked the completely unfamiliar face up and down, swallowing the word "death": "Didn't you... have an accident back then?"

Yu Xiaoheng said, "It's a long story. I was reborn using the special properties of my third soul ring."

He briefly explained the purple flames attached to the soul rings and the reshaping of the body.

Rou'er blinked, processing this information, then nodded, accepting this bizarre explanation.

Yu Xiaoheng then asked, "And you? How did you end up like this?"

Rou'er scratched her head, chuckled, and changed the subject: "There was a little accident on the way, and I accidentally offended a few people."

Yu Xiaoheng saw through it but didn't say anything.

He had a rough idea. The entire city was under martial law, and a large number of Spirit Hall personnel were searching everywhere. Combined with the faint aura of a spirit beast on her body earlier, it was clear that Rou'er had used the Concealing Breath Grass, resulting in a mistake.

Fortunately, the leak was brief, and the Spirit Hall didn't confirm she was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, only considering her an infiltrator. Otherwise, with a large-scale search and the personal involvement of archbishop-level experts, she definitely wouldn't have been able to hide.

Yu Xiaoheng's heart stirred slightly.

He was actually somewhat relieved. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, in order to escape, he used Rou'er's name to say that Yu Xiaoheng was in trouble and that he could ask Da Ming and Er Ming for help. This was a huge flaw in itself, because Rou'er had never revealed her identity as a soul beast to him, let alone mentioned those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

But now that Rou'er isn't asking this question, Yu Xiaoheng naturally won't bring it up either.

Such flaws that can easily affect a relationship are, frankly speaking, not beneficial to either party.

Yu Xiaoheng stood up.

He walked to a cabinet on the side and rummaged through some of the high-end ingredients he had stored.

Next, Yu Xiaoheng skillfully started a fire, chopped vegetables, and seasoned the food, all in one smooth motion. In less than half an hour, he brought out several steaming, fragrant dishes and placed them on the wooden table.

Rou'er's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the food.

She sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat heartily, her cheeks puffed out like steamed buns, completely free of her previous restraint and defensiveness.

"Xiao Heng, you're the most loyal one!"

While eating, Rou'er mumbled indistinctly, "I haven't eaten anything this delicious since you left. But your resurrection took way too long; couldn't you have told me beforehand?"

She swallowed the meat in her mouth and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

Rou'er said, "If you had contacted me sooner, our sister Rou'er would have at least thrown you a birthday party to celebrate your rebirth!"

Hearing her silly tone, Yu Xiaoheng was speechless.

But seeing that Rou'er was as carefree as before, he felt much more at ease.

Yu Xiaoheng sat beside her and ate with her.

He recalled some psychology knowledge he had learned in his previous life and tried to make some natural advances during the meal.

He offered Rou'er chopsticks, and when he poured water, his fingers touched the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally. Even when he took the plate in front of her, his shoulder lightly brushed against her sleeve.

Rou'er was only focused on eating and showed no resistance to these physical contacts, behaving very naturally.

The weight on Yu Xiaoheng's heart was finally lifted.

It seems the goodwill I built up back then is still there.

Just then, Yu Xiaoheng's expression changed.

Rou'er stopped what she was doing and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Xiaoheng quickly composed himself and smiled, "It's nothing. By the way, what brings you to Wuhun City? Do you need my help?"

Rou'er's face lit up with joy upon hearing this: "Great! I was just wondering what to do. I need to go to some places inside the inner city of Wuhun City. Could you take me in?"

Yu Xiaoheng said, "No problem, I am a divine messenger now."

Holy crap!

Rou'er's eyes widened: "Xiao Heng, you've really struck it rich! How did you become a divine messenger? I forgot to ask you just now."

Seeing her boisterous manner, Yu Xiaoheng's gloomy mood improved considerably.

Yu Xiaoheng said, "This is a long story, and it may be a coincidence. Let me tell you about it slowly."

Inside the room, the two ate and chatted, their voices gradually subsiding.

However, at this moment, a look of wild joy flashed in Yu Xiaoheng's eyes.

Just now, the voice of his ancestor echoed in his mind.

The ancestor said, "Isn't this the 100,000-year-old soul beast you tried to trick before?"

Yu Xiaoheng was taken aback at first, then realized that his ancestors had probably sensed something about what happened back then in the Sacred Dragon Bone.

The ancestor's voice came again: "Her affection for you isn't particularly high yet, so it's indeed a bit difficult to get her to willingly sacrifice herself for you. However, fortunately, she approves of you as a person. If it really comes to an extremely critical life-or-death situation, sacrifice is not an unacceptable thing for her."

Yu Xiaoheng listened silently in his heart.

The ancestor continued, "Over the years, I have also accumulated a spiritual will while I was asleep. This will can be lent to you at a critical moment to forcibly control this little rabbit's body."

"Given her current feelings for you, as long as you don't do anything reckless, you should be able to control her to complete the sacrificial process without any problems."

"Of course, you must be careful. In the coming period, it would be best to deepen her feelings for you further, so that things will be easier to handle. You absolutely must not let her develop any feelings of disgust towards you."

Yu Xiaoheng was filled with joy.

He agreed in his heart without hesitation.

However, his ancestors soon poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

The ancestor warned, "Under normal circumstances, such forced sacrifices cannot succeed. You'd better find an extremely urgent crisis and force her to make a sacrifice. Only when faced with a desperate situation will her subconscious not resist violently."

Yu Xiaoheng quickly began to calculate in his mind.

Is there any way to create an urgent crisis before the final battle against Tang Hao, forcing Rou'er to sacrifice herself?

Once I obtain this 100,000-year spirit ring, my strength will undergo a tremendous qualitative change. At that time, I will be confident of winning against Tang Hao, and I might not even need to reveal my Heavenly Punishment form.

What he lacks is his sixth spirit ring.

but.

Yu Xiaoheng looked at Rou'er sitting next to him, her mouth greasy and looking like "we're good brothers who are loyal to each other," and slowed down his movements.

For some reason, he felt hesitant, even a little irritated.

After all, he is no longer the cold-blooded and ruthless young master of Blue Lightning.

He once chose to sacrifice his greatest interests to save people in the far north in order to achieve his own goals, and he knew that doing so was in line with his true nature and would bring him joy.

Yu Xiaoheng's good mood dissipated once again.

Chapter 381 High-level plans only require the simplest execution.

The inner city of Wuhun City.

The streets are wide and paved with neat bluestone slabs.

Yu Xiaoheng led Rou'er through the various streets of the inner city. The checks here were extremely strict; almost every intersection they crossed was blocked by fully armed palace guards.

Yu Xiaoheng only does one thing each time: he takes out the Divine Messenger Token.

Upon seeing the token, the knights immediately and respectfully allowed them passage without asking a single question. This token granted them unimpeded passage through the inner city.

Taking this opportunity, Rou'er slipped into several important buildings and secluded areas that were not open to the public. Yu Xiaoheng would stop outside each time and find a quiet place to wait.

He knew Rou'er had her own secrets, and he expressed his respect for her privacy, promising never to use his mental energy to pry. Whatever Rou'er was planning, it couldn't possibly be aimed at him.

At this moment, Yu Xiaoheng was sitting on a bench next to a fountain.

He was holding a black leather notebook, and he was writing and drawing on it with his head down.

Besides his daily practice of the Golden Dragon Element Body Tempering Technique, he accomplished something extremely important these days—he clarified the concept behind a simple martial soul fusion technique.

Back when he and Liu Erlong practiced the fusion technique, he suffered a lot, but it also gave him a deep understanding of the convergence and repulsion of soul power.

He now has a new direction.

If the ultimate goal is to obtain elemental patterns, he doesn't need to perform the complex and perfect martial soul fusion as he did in the past.

Yu Xiaoheng drew two symbols on the paper representing Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi, and then drew a circle in the middle representing himself.

The idea is very simple.

During the battle, the Shui sisters directly transferred their water and ice attribute soul power into his body. At the same time, Yu Xiaoheng activated the Heavenly Punishment Fire of his third soul ring, using his own body as a furnace to temporarily melt these two completely different powers.

This approach is extremely crude.

If judged as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, this is absolutely terrible, because the massive loss of soul power and the forced piecing together can at most give Yu Xiaoheng a temporary boost of one or two levels in strength.

But this is exactly the effect Yu Xiaoheng wanted.

What he wanted was not an increase in soul power, but to take advantage of the moment when soul power converged to quickly capture and condense ice and water patterns.

Once he successfully condenses the runes, he will unlock the attack form of Heavenly Punishment Ice. Ice element with the characteristics of Heavenly Punishment is an absolutely unpredictable and deadly move. Moreover, the addition of two elemental runes within his body will also slightly enhance his basic attributes.

Yu Xiaoheng closed the notebook with satisfaction.
