Nuoding City, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao

"Wildfires cannot burn it out; the spring breeze brings it back to life..."

"Isn't this the soul skill attached to Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone?"

Seeing the line of text before him, Ye Qingzhou immediately thought of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

No, that wasn't right.

The God of Life was a lofty God King; even if she were the kindest and most empathetic among the God Kings, she wouldn't constantly focus on the only Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor.

What would she gain from it?

But... if he could utilize the soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, he could easily complete his second trial of life.

Thinking this way, Ye Qingzhou felt this plan was feasible!

Dugu Bo's deep, emerald-green pupils flickered slightly. He looked at the four soul rings circling Ye Qingzhou's body, his gaze locking onto the first soul ring as he shrieked, "Ye Qingzhou, how did your first soul ring become a thousand-year one!"

He remembered clearly that Ye Qingzhou's original first soul ring was only a hundred-year one.

Ye Qingzhou retracted his soul rings, the purple, purple, purple, and black rings vanishing in an instant.

"This purple thousand-year soul ring is naturally a reward granted for completing the divine trial."

Ignoring Dugu Bo's shock, Ye Qingzhou looked at Ye Shuyuan and said, "Grandfather, my second trial of the Life God has arrived."

Ye Shuyuan smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Ye Qingzhou said in a calm tone, "To comprehend 'Wildfires cannot burn it out; the spring breeze brings it back to life,' which can be understood as a type of soul skill."

Wildfires cannot burn it out; the spring breeze brings it back to life?

Dugu Bo was confused; after all, he was not an expert in this field.

"And then? Don't tell me that's all there is?"

Ye Qingzhou nodded; after all, that was all the divine trial had stated.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou nod, Dugu Bo continued, "If that's the case, wouldn't it just be a matter of hunting a soul beast that possesses such a soul skill?"

Ye Shuyuan's eyes gradually cleared, and he said with a smile:

"Wildfires cannot burn it out; the spring breeze brings it back to life—truly interesting."

Dugu Bo could interpret it that way, and he could too; after all, Dugu Bo was not an insider.

"The so-called 'wildfires cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life' is a symbol of the tenacious vitality of the natural world. Even when ravaged by wildfires, the grass will use its own stubborn life force to struggle and survive."

Dugu Bo, having his explanation dismantled, felt slightly embarrassed.

He coughed and said, "So, for this 'wildfires cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life' thing, there is no way to comprehend it directly?"

Hearing Dugu Bo's question, Ye Qingzhou said:

"There is. Just now, when the God of Life was transmitting the divine trial to me, she mentioned that the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone comes with the soul skill 'Wildfires cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life'."

This left Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo with a massive headache.

Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were already rare. In the Star Dou Great Forest, the only hundred-thousand-year soul beasts they knew of were the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python; where would a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor come from?

They had never even heard of one.

Most importantly, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were not something one could encounter just by wanting to.

Seeing Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo looking troubled, Ye Qingzhou continued, "Besides this information, the Life God King also told me the location of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone."

Fortunately, the God of Life could take the blame for everything; any unreasonable points could simply be attributed to the Life God King.

Hearing this, Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.

This Life God King was truly too helpful.

To allow Ye Qingzhou to quickly complete the divine trial, she was doing everything in her power to assist him.

"Good." Ye Shuyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's set off now. Little Zhou, you lead the way."

Since Ye Qingzhou knew the location of the hundred-thousand-year soul bone, the subsequent matters would be easy to handle.

With a second trial that could be completed directly, there was no need for them to keep dragging it out.

Ye Qingzhou led Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo toward the location of Holy Soul Village in Nuoding City.

Nuoding City.

The moment Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo stepped through the city gates, they keenly sensed two unusual auras.

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance.

Ye Qingzhou, walking in the lead, turned around to look at Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo, deliberately showing a look of confusion on his face: "Grandfather, Old Poison, what's wrong with you two?"

Ye Shuyuan did not speak, his deep eyes simply gazing quietly toward a certain direction in the city, his expression calm yet tinged with a hint of caution.

Dugu Bo's face had already darkened, a flash of gravity appearing in his emerald-green pupils: "The aura of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and the presence of a Title Douluo."

No one could have expected that in the small Nuoding City, the most inconspicuous city in the Heaven Dou Empire, the aura of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and a powerhouse on the level of a Title Douluo would appear all at once.

Ye Qingzhou feigned surprise: "What? There's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and a Title Douluo here?!"

As the words fell, that Title Douluo's aura suddenly surged without warning.

A burly figure slowly emerged from the end of the street ahead, walking until he stood before Ye Shuyuan, Dugu Bo, and Ye Qingzhou.

It was a middle-aged man in tattered clothes, his hair and beard a tangled mess, reeking of strong alcohol; he looked exactly like the kind of down-and-out drunkard one might see on any street corner.

Seeing the middle-aged man before him, Ye Shuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who are you..."

He could clearly sense that the Title Douluo aura was erupting from this man.

Yet, his memory held no record of such a Title Douluo.

Dugu Bo was equally puzzled; among the Title Douluos he had socialized with, none were as decadent as this one.

The man's hoarse voice reached the ears of Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo: "Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao."

"Medical Saint Douluo, Poison Douluo, it has truly been a long time."

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo were slightly shocked.

He is Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao?

They had met Tang Hao before, but they had never seen him reduced to such a state.

Seeing that Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo did not believe him, Tang Hao had no choice but to summon his Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!

The moment they saw the Clear Sky Hammer, Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo finally believed Tang Hao's words.

They took a deep breath.

If Tang Hao was here, it meant that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Nuoding City had long since been claimed by him.

Ye Shuyuan exchanged a few pleasantries with Tang Hao: "Tang Hao, it really has been a long time."

"I never expected you to have fallen to such a state."

Tang Hao took up Ye Shuyuan's thread: "Indeed, even I am surprised that I, the youngest Title Douluo, have ended up as a drunkard."

He still held a favorable impression of Title Douluos like Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo, who had not joined any major factions.

"As Title Douluos, you have naturally sensed it, haven't you? The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Nuoding City."

Ye Shuyuan nodded in response to Tang Hao's words: "Mm, we sensed it. So what?"

"You are both intelligent men; leave this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to me, for the sake of my son."
