Saving Mother

Chapter 46: Saving Mother

Tang Xiao was disdainful, not taking Master Ratio seriously at all.

In the eyes of someone like him, the only thing worthy of respect was sufficient strength!

Clearly, Master Ratio had yet to display any power. Rumors had even spread that he possessed no martial soul and was not a soul master.

Ning Fengzhi's expression suddenly changed. He stopped walking and looked at Tang Xiao solemnly. "Brother Tang! Don't do anything rash. No matter what, do not come into conflict with Master Ratio."

"Especially do not threaten Master Ratio in any way."

Ning Fengzhi stared intently at Tang Xiao.

Yu Yuanzhen also said, "Sect Master Tang, although Master Ratio has not released his complete theories, his talent is already enough to establish him firmly in the Soul Master Realm. If you attack him, I'm afraid the Clear Sky Sect will be the one in trouble!"

With two sect masters of equal standing saying this, Tang Xiao had no choice but to take it seriously.

But inwardly, he was thinking something else and felt deeply indignant.

A mere Ratio actually warranted such caution from him?

Tang Xiao said with a false smile, "I was only joking. Our Clear Sky Sect is still wanted by Spirit Hall. How could we dare cause trouble in Spirit City?"

Only then did Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen breathe sighs of relief.

That was indeed true. How reckless would someone have to be to commit atrocities openly in Spirit City while being wanted by Spirit Hall?

As the Clear Sky Sect's sect master, Tang Xiao should understand such matters even better.

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly said, "Brother Sword, Fengzhi, after seeing that Three Elements Fusion Skill, have you gained any insights? I can sense its mysteries, but figuring out how to achieve it is unimaginably difficult!"

"I tried fusing soul rings within my body, but... I simply couldn't do it."

Yu Yuanzhen sighed. He had been attempting it ever since leaving the venue.

Even as a Titled Douluo with extensive knowledge and experience, he still could not grasp it.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both gave bitter smiles and shook their heads.

How could they not have simulated it in their minds? They had memorized the fewer than one thousand words of content, yet when they tried to apply it to themselves, they had no clue where to begin!

"Extremely difficult. This is likely a field only scholars can enter," Sword Douluo commented.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Previously, the Soul Master Realm had generally looked down on scholars, believing them to be of little use.

And there had indeed been some truth to that. If Master Ratio had not appeared out of nowhere, theoretical knowledge might not have made much progress even after another ten thousand years!

But now, every major force had to take the cultivation of soul power scholars seriously!

Tang Xiao, however, said nothing and fell silent.

Given the Clear Sky Sect's current situation, let alone hiring scholars, they did not even dare extend their reach beyond their own borders.

Spirit Hall had beaten them too badly. They had no choice but to fear it.

Elsewhere, Qian Renxue found an opportunity to sneak into the Pope's Palace. She immediately returned to her female appearance and hurried toward the Pope's room, wearing the smile of a victor.

Her Brother Ratio had become famous throughout the world. Let's see how that woman could continue mocking him now?

Knock, knock, knock...!

A few seconds after she knocked three times, it was Hu Liena who opened the door.

Upon seeing Hu Liena, Qian Renxue's smile faded somewhat. She felt considerable resentment toward this girl, who had taken her place and received Bibi Dong's affection.

"Why are you here?" Qian Renxue asked coldly.

Hu Liena's eyes were red from crying over the past few days. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "The Pope isn't feeling well and can't receive outside visitors..."

"I am not an outside visitor. What happened to her? Let me see her."

Qian Renxue snorted and pushed Hu Liena aside before striding into the room.

A few steps later, her long legs carried her into Bibi Dong's bedroom.

On the bed, Bibi Dong slept like a sleeping beauty. Her features were soft, as though she had returned to her childhood.

Qian Renxue panicked when she sensed the aura emanating from Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong had actually fallen from the rank of Titled Douluo. She was now only a Soul Douluo!

Qian Renxue immediately stepped forward, grasped Bibi Dong's wrist, and sent Angel Soul Power into her body.

Even so, Bibi Dong showed no response whatsoever. Her eyes remained shut, and her breathing was steady.

"What happened?!" Qian Renxue asked coldly, tears welling in her eyes.

Hu Liena did not know Qian Renxue's identity, but the other woman's presence was too overwhelming. She could only answer truthfully, yet halfway through, she could not help breaking down in tears again.

Qian Renxue found it irritating to listen to, but she had learned the full story.

"Serves her right! She actually treated Brother Ratio like that... Fine. Stay here and take good care of her. I'll go plead with Ratio! For now, make sure she sleeps comfortably."

After giving her instructions, Qian Renxue quickly left the room.

Hu Liena wiped away her tears and murmured, "Teacher, I'll help wipe your body. If it makes you feel better, then wake up soon..."

Outside Ratio's laboratory.

At some point, he had constructed a Launch Pad, with a round Missile resting inside the Cannon Barrel.

Ratio was calculating the Launch Pad's thrust.

The Warhead was filled with Synesthesia Beacons. Soon, he would launch the Missile and detonate it high in the sky. The Synesthesia Beacons inside would scatter with the sunlight and shine into people's bodies!

"The first step is complete!"

"Next, I will help soul masters and Soul Beasts resolve their grievances, allowing them to coexist peacefully."

Ratio murmured to himself.

This did not go against his consistent principles. He had chosen to lend the Soul Beasts a hand so that they could gain the qualification to approach truth.

At the very least, in this regard, all intelligent beings should be equal.

Just then, a set of hurried footsteps approached.

Ratio pressed the Launch Pad's activation button as well.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven... three, two, one!"

As the countdown ended, the Launch Pad immediately fired a shell. It became a tiny black speck and swiftly vanished beyond the horizon.

Ratio had calculated that the shell's range was enough to propel the Warhead into outer space beyond Douluo Star. Once it exploded there, the contents could shine down together with the sunlight.

Of course, some people or Soul Beasts might still not come into contact with it, so he decided to launch one every three months!

"Ratio, what did you make this time? About that thing you displayed on the high platform..."

Qian Daoliu asked somewhat awkwardly.

Ratio's response was decisive. "It is impossible to give it to you now. Don't waste your time."

"..."

Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched. As expected, it was this outcome again!

He should not have held any hopes.

"Ratio, when do you plan to hold your next lecture? Have you decided on the location? And regarding the Soul Beasts... that will not be easy to handle." Qian Daoliu asked curiously.

Ratio shook his head. "Wait for my news. In a few days, I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to speak with the Soul Beasts. I hope there will be good news."

"You can bring Light Feather Douluo with you. He is quite fond of communicating with Soul Beasts."

Qian Daoliu suggested with a genial smile. He wanted to chat with Ratio about everyday family matters and deepen their relationship.
