Douluo: I've Already Cultivated Immortality, So Why Become a Title Douluo?

Off to the side,

Ning Rongrong sighed and spoke dejectedly. "If I'd known she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I would've brought Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone here."

After this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Ning Rongrong had decided to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As for the reason?

Wasn't it because there was no safety guarantee here?

What was more,

Heaven Dou Royal Academy

had a Simulated Cultivation Environment! For low-level soul masters, that thing was an invaluable treasure.

So Ning Rongrong could not understand

why she had come all the way to this shabby, tiny so-called "monster" academy.

Meanwhile,

aboard the Cloud Boat.

Using a Magic Tool he had refined himself, the Dragon Binding Rope, Lu Yunzhu tied Xiao Wu up like a trussed chicken.

Though his knots were not particularly pretty,

they were... passable.

Nearby, the four Title Douluo-level powerhouses—Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, Pufferfish, and Snake Lance—stared fixedly at Xiao Wu.

That look, that scene,

was like four hungry wolves watching a little lamb.

If not for Lu Yunzhu,

the four of them would likely have already rushed forward and torn Xiao Wu to pieces.

After all,

she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast,

a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast capable of producing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

For every soul master,

whether it was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring or a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, both were things they dreamed of obtaining.

Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard were naturally no exception.

Under the stares of four Title Douluo,

Xiao Wu's fear reached its peak.

That overwhelming fear made her temporarily forget her earlier fury.

After a long while,

Xiao Wu spoke in a trembling voice.

Gathering her courage, she got straight to the point.

"What exactly... do you want? If you want to kill me... then kill me. Just give me a quick death!"

Hearing this,

the corners of Lu Yunzhu's mouth curved into a subtle smile.

As an obvious grin appeared on his face, he gave his answer.

"Ordinary people can become cultivators, and soul masters can also become cultivators. What I want to know is whether soul beasts can become Demon Beasts—or rather, magical beasts—closely connected to cultivators."

Having said that,

Lu Yunzhu walked over to Xiao Wu.

Grabbing her chin, he added,

"The reason I'm keeping you alive is that I want to use you for an experiment. If you don't want to live, I can turn you into a soul ring at any time."

After making his purpose clear,

in order to make Xiao Wu, this "tool," behave herself,

Lu Yunzhu issued a threat.

"If you don't want to live, tell me in advance so I can think about how to torture you until you wish you were dead first. Of course, if you want to live, then behave yourself here. Who knows? If I'm in a good mood one day, sparing your life might not be a problem."

With that,

Lu Yunzhu patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder.

Then,

he had Snake Lance and Pufferfish keep a close watch over her.

Off to the side,

after hearing what Lu Yunzhu had said,

Qian Renxue fell into deep thought.

Ordinary people? I can understand them becoming cultivators... but how can we soul masters become cultivators? And... what exactly are Demon Beasts and magical beasts?

After pondering this,

Qian Renxue decided to speak with Lu Yunzhu.

Once that thought arose,

Qian Renxue immediately acted on it.

She turned to Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard and said,

"You two elders may leave first. I have important matters to discuss with Mr. Lu."

Hearing this,

Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard respectfully replied, "As you command, Young Master."

With that,

the two of them tactfully departed.

Seeing that Qian Renxue wanted to talk with him,

Lu Yunzhu did not refuse. He directly asked, "What is it? Speak plainly."

Hearing Lu Yunzhu's words,

Qian Renxue smiled on the surface while grumbling inwardly.

This damned man... why is he always so cold when he talks to me? Would it kill him to say two more words?

Putting on a warm and amiable smile,

Qian Renxue answered,

"Just now, I heard Mr. Lu say that we soul masters can also become cultivators. So I wanted to ask how soul masters can become cultivators, and whether our strength will change—or disappear—after becoming cultivators."

"At the same time, I also wanted to ask Mr. Lu what Demon Beasts and magical beasts are."

Facing Qian Renxue's two questions,

Lu Yunzhu answered them one by one.

"If soul masters wish to become cultivators, they only need to cultivate an internal cultivation method."

"After becoming cultivators, soul masters retain their original strength. For example, a Soul Douluo corresponds to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, while a Soul Saint corresponds to the eighth level of Qi Refinement, and so on."

Note: Complete Qi Refinement = a level-ninety Title Douluo

Having said that,

Lu Yunzhu explained to Qian Renxue what Demon Beasts, or magical beasts, were.

"Demon Beasts, or magical beasts, are actually... similar to soul beasts."

"But their levels far surpass those of soul beasts. Powerful Demon Beasts can soar through the heavens and burrow into the earth, steal the heavens and change the day, summon wind and rain; Soaring Through Clouds and Riding Mist is far beneath them."

"Above Demon Beasts, there are divine beasts and Immortal Beasts."

"Those beings could destroy the entire Douluo Continent, even the whole of Douluo Star, with a breath or a fart."

After hearing Lu Yunzhu's words,

Qian Renxue unconsciously swallowed.

Soaring through the heavens and burrowing into the earth, stealing the heavens and changing the day, summoning wind and rain, Soaring Through Clouds and Riding Mist? Were Demon Beasts really that powerful? Was that true?

And there were supposedly divine beasts and Immortal Beasts too.

Could they really destroy Douluo Continent with a single fart?

And what exactly was Douluo Star?

Right,

what was that internal cultivation method Lu Yunzhu had mentioned?

As Qian Renxue struggled with her confusion, the Cloud Boat arrived at Lake of Life in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

And the Hundred-Thousand-Year Sky Azure Bull Python had been waiting there for a long time!

Despairing Sky Azure Bull Python, Two Choices

"Sky Azure, Annihilation Thunder!!!"

The instant the Cloud Boat arrived at Lake of Life,

a bolt of lightning as thick as a tree trunk shot out of the lake with lightning speed, in the blink of an eye,

and flew straight toward the Cloud Boat.

The identity of the attacker was self-evident.

It was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Sky Azure Bull Python.

The moment they sensed the Sky Azure Bull Python attack,

Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, She Long, and Ci Xue—the four Title Douluo—prepared to defend and counterattack.

However,

just before they could act,

Lu Yunzhu spoke. "Don't move."

Although Lu Yunzhu's two words left She Long and the others puzzled,

they

obediently did as they were told.

The next moment,

the Sky Azure Bull Python's long-prepared Annihilation Thunder struck the Cloud Boat. Or rather, it struck the Cloud Boat's protective barrier.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's attack was incredibly powerful.

How powerful?

Powerful enough to easily take the life of a Title Douluo!

After all,

he had been building up this move for a long time!

Although his attack had merely struck the protective barrier of the "Cloud Boat," the Sky Azure Bull Python revealed a satisfied smile.
