Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Choosing to take a shortcut and continue absorbing the soul power of a peak level 99 peerless Douluo will definitely prevent one from becoming a pure-blooded supreme being of the Ten Ferocious level.

A true strong person can draw on some external forces, but cannot rely on them entirely.

........

"Your Holiness, I just happened to lose my hearing and didn't hear anything..." Tang Yuehua tried to explain, but before she could finish, Bibi Dong forcibly interrupted her.

"Alright, I don't want to hear this. Just say it: you've been with Xiaoqing for a while now. Do you think he doesn't like women our age?"

Bibi Dong's eyes remained calm and unwavering. She wasn't actually afraid that Tang Yuehua would find out her little secret, after all, she was just a Soul Master with a lifelong Soul Power Level Nine.

Besides, she was from Dongqing, and in a sense, she was one of their own. Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to tell anyone the little secret she had just learned.

Looking at Bibi Dong's calm eyes, Tang Yuehua had a lot of grievances to share, but she couldn't refuse to answer the question.

After thinking it over and over, she said, "In my opinion, His Holiness the Pope is really overthinking things. Prince Dongqing does not dislike older women. He is usually very good to my second sister-in-law, Lan Yinhuang Ayin. He may simply be afraid to have any thoughts about it because he has a master-disciple relationship with His Holiness the Pope."

As she spoke, Tang Yuehua felt that something seemed off about her words. She recalled Lan Yinhuang A Yin's attitude towards Dong Qing, which seemed to be a bit too intimate and had gone beyond the boundaries of friendship.

My God! Second Sister-in-law, you didn't actually make a move on him, did you? He's just a young man...

However, Tang Yuehua no longer wanted to get involved in this matter, because she might end up harming him herself in the future. So how could she have the face to criticize Blue Silver Emperor A Yin now?

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, a Blue Silver Grass and a rabbit. It's only because Xiao Qing likes to keep pets and takes care of his feelings that I haven't touched them. Otherwise, I would have killed them long ago to take their soul bones. Tang Yuehua, I don't want to hear you compare me to a 100,000-year-old soul beast anymore."

In Bibi Dong's eyes, even though Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was already a level 95 Title Douluo, she was still not human. A soul beast is a soul beast and will never be human, so she didn't care about her at all.

On this point, Bibi Dong and her daughter Qian Renxue were in perfect agreement. They never cared about Lan Yinhuang A Yin and Xiao Wu, simply treating them as pets raised by Dong Qing.

Tang Yuehua didn't dare to disobey and obediently nodded, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, if you really have those kinds of thoughts about Prince Dongqing... you must make him clearly realize that being together as master and disciple is not a rebellious thing, only then will he truly notice Your Majesty's charm."

Your Highness Dongqing, I'm so sorry, your teacher Bibi Dong is just too...

At this moment, Tang Yuehua felt deeply ashamed. She had actually been advising other women to devour her savior and fall into her carefully woven trap.

Chapter 259, Is this how you gather information?

Leaving aside what Bibi Dong and Tang Yuehua were secretly discussing, Dong Qing was walking alone on the bustling street, enjoying the unique tranquility of being alone.

This feeling of tranquility is not the absolute silence of a quiet environment, but rather the serenity of walking through the mundane world without being tainted by any worldly affairs.

At this moment, Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, and their group were still in the VIP box of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, being interviewed by a news newspaper interview team, accumulating strength for the palace coup after the conclusion of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

First and foremost is the power of public opinion. We must make all the people within the entire Heaven Dou Empire realize that Qian Renxue is the hope and future of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Secondly, there is the power of aristocratic families and sects, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as the main force, which wins over wealthy gentry, cultivates relationships with nobles, and gains the support of the military, making foolproof preparations for ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

As dusk approached and night fell, the moon seemed to have forgotten its work hours; even before the sun had set, its pale silhouette was already clearly visible.

Tian Dou Empire, Tian Dou City, North District.

"Jianbing Guozi, ten copper soul coins."

"A hot meat bun, three copper soul coins each."

"Tofu pudding, both savory and sweet, don't miss it when you pass by!"

The cries of vendors rose and fell, as they worked hard to make a living. For them, today or tomorrow, every day was the same. The only difference was that they could clearly feel themselves getting older.

Unlike Soul Masters who have long lifespans, ordinary people typically live to be around sixty or seventy years old.

In the world of Soul Masters, Soul Masters who reach Soul Power Level 50 can generally live to be around 150 years old.

After becoming a Title Douluo, one's life level undergoes a transformation, and one can directly extend their lifespan by three hundred years. Furthermore, by advancing one level of soul power, one can extend their lifespan by one hundred years.

.....

A young nobleman walked into the tofu pudding stall. He had a handsome face and an air of nobility about him, making it hard to believe that he would eat at a street stall.

"Boss, a bowl of tofu pudding, sweet, please," the young master said softly.

"Guest, one bowl and one copper soul coin."

The vendor quickly filled a bowl with tofu pudding and sprinkled it with tempting brown sugar syrup. However, what puzzled him was that the young nobleman in front of him looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Hmm, here you go." He casually handed over a copper soul coin, took the porcelain bowl containing tofu pudding, and without caring about the dust on the ground, the young nobleman sat down on the steps by the street to eat.

Before long, the young nobleman found himself with another woman beside him. She was over thirty years old, with stunning beauty, wearing a black tight leather outfit that revealed her incredibly hot figure, and she was also holding a bowl of tofu pudding.

However, the young nobleman was not interested in paying too much attention to her figure and appearance. He glanced at the cilantro and secret sauce floating on the bowl of tofu pudding in her hand.

Salty tofu pudding?

The young nobleman couldn't help but exclaim, "You're actually a member of the Salt Party? Heretic! You tigress, you're an absolute heretic!"

When speaking.

A hint of doubt flashed in the depths of the young nobleman's eyes; he didn't understand why this female tyrannosaurus had come to find him.

Could it be that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... also wants to interfere in the affairs of the next emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire?

"Hmph, those who prefer sweet things are heretics. It's sickeningly sweet. Your Highness Dongqing, I never thought that you, as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, would actually be eating at a street stall alone here."

The tigress the young master was referring to grunted twice, and then revealed the young master's true identity.

Although she disliked being called a "Mother Tyrannosaurus," she was no match for the man in front of her and could only suppress her anger.

The main problem is... we can't beat them.

She didn't know why, but every time she saw this man, she felt like punching him. But heavens begone, why couldn't a Soul Douluo of level 80-something beat a Soul King of level 50-something?

"What's so strange about that? Who says the Holy Son has to sit in a luxurious private room and eat all sorts of delicacies? Can't he eat something light once in a while?"

Dongqing picked up the spoon in his hand, scooped up a large piece of sweet tofu pudding from the bowl, put it in his mouth, and the sweet and tender feeling filled his mind.

“That makes sense, but tofu pudding should be eaten savory, with a little bit of cilantro. It’s simply divine. Eating sweet tofu pudding is heresy,” the mother tyrannosaurus said, shaking her head.

Although this female Tyrannosaurus Rex has a fiery personality, her face is really delicate and beautiful, giving people the illusion that she is very gentle.

She has long, smooth hair that looks as if it has been splashed with ink, and a delicate, fair oval face that often gives people the feeling of wanting to take a bite.

Wearing a black long-sleeved leather bodysuit, her toned abdomen showed no excess fat, giving her a delicate and slender figure. The leather outfit accentuated her mature charm.

"Alright, Liu Erlong, just say what you want to say. Don't tell me you bought a serving of tofu pudding here, sat next to me, and came here just to argue with me about whether tofu pudding should be salty or sweet?" Dong Qing said impatiently.

Because Dong Qing had never liked being followed by a large group of people, he had already sent the Spirit Hall guards away, wanting to enjoy the peace and quiet of being alone.

Just a few minutes later, he ran into the hot-tempered Liu Erlong again, leaving him completely at a loss for how to express his emotions.

"Your Highness Dongqing, are you trying to get rid of me?" Liu Erlong replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

Although she appears to be a woman with a fiery temper, she is actually quite sensitive inside. As long as she is not affected by emotions, she is also a qualified strong woman.

"What do you think! If you don't tell me your purpose, I'll really kick you out!" Dong Qing said seriously.

He wasn't joking. If Liu Erlong continued to chat and brag with him without getting to the point, he really would drive this female tyrannosaurus away.

This is Dong Qing's attitude towards women. He doesn't indulge them just because they are beautiful. However, there is one special case who, even if she likes to nag him, he can't do anything about it.

And this special existence is the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's true form on his chest. This palm-sized blue-gold grass is currently clinging tightly to his chest, giving the illusion that it cannot be peeled off.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. It seemed that Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin had gotten used to this way of getting along. She liked to stay close to Dong Qing all the time and feel his scent.

In public, she transformed into a palm-sized blue-gold blade of grass, hiding in his chest, using her plant-type soul beast talent to silently activate a central air conditioning mode for him, regulating the surrounding air temperature.

Once behind closed doors, she reverts to her human form, a beautiful woman dressed in a blue and gold robe. However, she can only maintain her composure for a maximum of ten minutes before she begins to grope her man, Dong Qing.

........

“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. I came here because the sect sent me a message asking me to find out about your relationship with Crown Prince Qinghe. The sect feels that you two are plotting a shocking plan,” Liu Erlong said, shrugging.

"Is this how you gather information?"

Dong Qing's eyes instantly turned incredibly strange. With a talent like Liu Erlong, how could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not prosper?

Chapter 260, Do you think I'm a professional spy?

"Otherwise what? Do you think I'm a professional spy? I'm just an ordinary dean of a high-level soul master academy. Besides, I'm only doing this for my mother's sake. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan," Liu Erlong said casually.

As she spoke, Liu Erlong gently scooped up a small piece of salted tofu pudding with a spoon, elegantly put it into her mouth and savored it. From this, one can see that although she has a rather impulsive and fiery personality, she is still essentially a lady from a respectable family.

Liu Erlong is Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter. She is not a commoner by nature. Even if she doesn't wear gold and silver in an extravagant way, she is at least a rich young lady.

It should be noted that Yu Luomian is the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the younger brother of the current sect leader Yu Yuanzhen, and he himself is also an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

So how could he possibly let his own daughter, Liu Erlong, live in poverty? He actually cared a lot about Liu Erlong, after all, she was his only daughter.

Yu Luomian, who dotes on his daughter, even when Liu Erlong suddenly has a whimsical idea to establish the first advanced civilian soul master academy on the entire continent.

He didn't say anything hurtful. Instead, he fully supported her and used the resources and connections of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to help her establish the Blue Tyrant Academy.

However, he probably never imagined that when he asked Liu Erlong to help investigate the relationship between Dongqing and Xue Qinghe [Qian Renxue], she would just blurt it out like that.

"Your mother..." Dongqing asked curiously.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who exuded the air of a noble young master, Liu Erlong suppressed the urge to punch him.

After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Dongqing, you're so annoying! I'm here to find out about your relationship with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and your grand plan, not to ask about my family relationships."

Liu Erlong's almond-shaped eyes widened, and her tone was fierce, as if she were scaring a child. But this appearance made her look like a girl in her twenties, not a beautiful woman over thirty.

In fact, women tend to develop a mature, womanly demeanor after turning thirty, but this demeanor becomes even more pronounced in women who have given birth.

Fortunately, Douluo Continent is a fantasy world, and Liu Erlong herself is an eight-ring Soul Douluo. She doesn't need to worry about her appearance aging over time, nor does she need to worry about the appearance of crow's feet.

Of course, if thirty years later, Liu Erlong still cannot see through the influence that Yu Xiaogang has had on her, preventing her from advancing to the Title Douluo level, she will eventually grow old with the passing years.

Reaching level 90 as a Title Douluo is a qualitative leap in life. Stepping into this level grants eternal youth, eliminating the need to worry about the relentless passage of time stealing away your youth.

At the same time, lifespan increases by three hundred years. After that, for every level increase in soul power, one can live an additional hundred years. At the peak of ninety-nine, the lifespan of a peerless Douluo breaks through the thousand-year limit.

...

"Alright, since you were so sincere just now, and you openly admitted that you wanted to find out about my relationship and plans with Prince Qinghe, then I won't hide it from you. Prince Qinghe, Sect Leader Ning, and I do indeed have a very big plan."

After saying this, Dongqing picked up the bowl and drank the last bit of sweet tofu pudding at the bottom, not wasting a single grain of rice. After finishing, he returned the porcelain bowl to the tofu pudding vendor.

There's no other way; it's a small business, and there aren't any disposable paper bowls in Douluo Continent. It's impossible to just throw away the porcelain bowls like that. The tofu pudding vendors will clean them and reuse them.

There's no need to worry about it being unclean; in a sense, porcelain bowls are the cleanest bowls.

Even rinsing with water can directly remove the grease stains, unlike iron bowls which require dish soap to quickly remove grease stains.

"A particularly large plan? How large?"
