"Grandmaster, why aren't you saying anything?"
Zhao Wuji scratched his head in confusion.
Doubt flashed through Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's eyes as they muttered softly:
"Does this Grandmaster really know about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? Could he be a fraud?"
Yu Xiaogang heard every word clearly and instantly flew into a rage from humiliation.
"Of course I know! Xiaosan, tell them for me!"
How could he possibly know? He hurriedly shoved the matter back onto Tang San.
With things having come to this, Tang San could only helplessly speak up and reveal part of what he knew.
He explained the Immortal Herbs that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well might nurture, along with their effects.
"Holy shit, they're that amazing?!"
When Ma Hongjun heard that the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower might resolve his Evil Fire, his heart stirred.
When Dai Mubai heard that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum might strengthen his physique, he was equally tempted.
Even Yu Xiaogang, after hearing the effects of these Immortal Herbs, was tempted without exception.
Among such powerful and miraculous Immortal Herbs, there had to be one that could help him break through the thirtieth-rank bottleneck!
"Ah, what a pity."
Only Zhao Wuji shook his head, and a single sentence shattered everyone's thoughts.
"Every major power must be fighting over them by now. It won't be our turn."
Everyone sighed upon hearing that, Tang San included.
It was as though treasures that should have belonged to them had been forcibly taken away, leaving their hearts full of resentment.
"Hehe, this Grandmaster will definitely get one!"
Yu Xiaogang secretly swore to himself, unable to stop thinking of Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall would definitely obtain some. When the time came, he would go see Bibi Dong.
That woman had been so easy to deceive before. He believed that with a few more tricks, swindling an Immortal Herb from her would not be difficult!
Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu heard their conversation.
They did not dare dream of Immortal Herbs. They only grew more dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang clearly had not understood anything just now. Tang San, who knew who knew where, had merely covered for him.
"Hmph, what Grandmaster? He's clearly an ignorant clown!"
Zhu Zhuqing's dissatisfaction had reached its limit, and she could not help muttering angrily:
"Ning Rongrong was right before. This clown Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge of Martial Souls was very likely plagiarized!"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing beside her, Xiao Wu's gaze toward Tang San also filled with disgust.
Tang San had actually gone against his conscience to help Yu Xiaogang cover up his lie. He was truly too hypocritical!
All the kindness he had shown her before might have been an act too! Men really could not be trusted!
Xiao Wu could not help developing the thought of leaving. She did not want to remain by hypocritical Tang San's side any longer.
Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City's imperial palace.
"Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"
Xue Ye shot to his feet and said urgently:
"If such a treasure basin can be obtained by our Heaven Dou, it will surely allow Heaven Dou to soar to great heights. Who is willing to lead a team to search for it immediately?!"
As soon as his words fell, the great hall fell silent. The civil and military officials said nothing, and no one was willing to step forward.
Soul beast forests were already fraught with danger. Now that every soul beast had been enhanced by a hundred years because of the reward, going there was practically a death sentence.
Just then, a crisp yet resolute voice rang out:
"Father, your son is willing to lead the team!"
Everyone looked toward the voice and saw Xue Qinghe, disguised by Qian Renxue, step forward.
Concern appeared in Xue Ye's eyes.
"Qinghe, this matter is dangerous. You are the empire's crown prince..."
Qian Renxue bowed slightly and said with absolute determination:
"Father, as the empire's crown prince, your son should all the more share the empire's burdens. Please grant permission!"
Xue Ye pondered for a moment before solemnly nodding.
"Good, truly worthy of being my son! Then lead the empire's most elite soul master legion there!"
"Once Marshal Ge Long finishes absorbing the soul bone, I will immediately send him to reinforce you and lend you a hand!"
With Marshal Ge Long following afterward, Xue Ye believed nothing unexpected would happen.
"Thank you, Father. Your son will certainly do his utmost!"
Qian Renxue respectfully saluted and departed, a trace of cold light flashing through her eyes.
She knew full well that Spirit Hall had surely already acted and was highly likely to obtain it first.
Her trip was merely for show in front of Xue Ye and the officials.
She would also take the chance to learn the movements of the other powers and pave the way for her own plans.
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City's imperial palace.
The situation here was completely different from that of the other powers.
"Ah! This infuriates me!!"
Star Luo Emperor Dai Xiaotian slammed his hand against the dragon throne and roared:
"Not only does Heaven Dou possess a divine object on the rankings, but such an unparalleled treasure basin has appeared in a soul beast forest within its borders. Star Luo and Heaven Dou are separated by thousands of miles, making it difficult for us to cross the border and contend for it!"
The civil and military officials all fell to their knees, helpless in the face of this situation.
Dai Weisi frowned deeply, his expression equally unsightly as he failed to think of a solution.
"Your Majesty, please calm yourself."
At that moment, Empress Zhu Qingyue, who had finished absorbing her soul bone, returned and said unhurriedly:
"The powers within Heaven Dou are complicated, and they will certainly all go searching. With too many wolves and too little meat, conflicts between them will be unavoidable."
"In the end, only one side will profit while many others suffer losses. That may not be a bad thing for us. We only need to watch the tigers fight from the mountain."
Dai Xiaotian looked over, froze for a moment, then rose excitedly.
"Yue'er, after absorbing the soul bone, you've also broken through rank ninety!"
A smile curled Zhu Qingyue's lips as she nodded firmly.
"Good, excellent!"
The gloom in Dai Xiaotian's heart was swept away as he laughed loudly.
"Come, let us immediately hunt for soul rings! Once we become true Title Douluo, so what if Heaven Dou obtains the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? Our Martial Soul Fusion Skill will still grind them beneath our feet!"
Seeing this, the civil and military officials all kowtowed, their cheers echoing throughout the imperial palace:
"Your Majesty speaks wisely! In the future, our Star Luo Empire will surely flatten the Heaven Dou Empire and unify Douluo Continent!"
With Sunset Forest entering the rankings, it was no longer only human powers that had been stirred.
At this moment, the various soul beast powers were also shaken, plunging into an uproar of excitement and unrest.
If a soul beast forest like Sunset Forest could make the rankings, then those of even greater scale would certainly not be absent!
Star Dou Forest, Life Lake.
"Big Brother, what rank do you think our Star Dou Forest can reach?"
"If we make the rankings, as Star Dou's strongest soul beast, you will certainly be the representative!"
The Titan Giant Ape looked excitedly at the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Second brother, I don't know, but I'm looking forward to it!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python shook his head in reply, fiery light gleaming in his eyes.
If they could rank near the top and obtain powerful Heaven-Sent Rewards, why should they fear the humans outside?
The light in the Titan Giant Ape's eyes was equally blazing, but he suddenly sighed.
"Ah, I wonder how Sister Xiao Wu is doing outside. If she hadn't taken human form and left, she would have been Star Dou's representative!"
Unfortunately, these two confident giants had no idea.
Beneath Life Lake lay a hidden small world formed from divine power.
Within it dwelled terrifying existences countless times stronger than them.
Inside the small world stood a silver-white crystal palace.
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had slept for an unknown number of years, awakened at this moment.
Her pair of purple eyes gazed through space at the Sky Screen outside as she murmured:
"This Sky Screen... even the Five Great God Kings could not have created it. It is truly inconceivable."
"Moreover, I never expected the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to have fallen simultaneously on Douluo Continent, with their remains forming such a treasure basin."
Before her, the Six Great Beast Kings led by Di Tian were half-kneeling.
Di Tian was the first to speak:
"My Lord, the many immortal-grade herbs nurtured by that treasure basin may help with the recovery of your injuries. Shall your subordinate immediately go retrieve them?!"
