Outside the teaching building of Zhengtian Academy, in a pavilion.
Ye Que had gone to the teaching building but failed to find the two descendants of Martial Soul Hall. After wandering around the academy, he finally spotted Guangyu Douluo and Dragon Subduing Douluo leisurely drinking tea in the pavilion.
Following the battle at the Soul Fighting Arena, Guangyu Douluo was rolling in wealth, and he was currently discussing with Dragon Subduing Douluo how to spend their Gold Soul Coins.
Should they go to an auction to purchase cultivation resources for their Young Master, or save the money to rebuild Martial Soul Hall?
Regardless of how they spent it, the sum was more than enough.
They could no longer return to the Soul Fighting Arena; their academy had been blacklisted by the Heavenly Soul Royal Family and was forbidden from participating for at least ten years.
The Six-Winged Angel Soul Master was simply too strong, causing the arena to suffer heavy losses.
At this moment, Guangyu Douluo played a move on the chessboard and said, "Brother Dragon Subduing, do you think we should use this money to buy a set of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones for the Young Master?"
"The Young Master is not lacking in Soul Bones. He has no use for external ones; at most, they could only be used for energy fusion. Spending money like that is too wasteful," Dragon Subduing Douluo replied.
Guangyu sighed, "So it turns out that having money isn't all that happy. I really want to go back to the days when we were broke."
Dragon Subduing Douluo shot him a sidelong glance but said nothing.
"Two seniors..."
At this moment, Ye Que walked up with a smile and sat down beside the two big shots.
Dragon Subduing and Guangyu simultaneously stopped what they were doing.
Guangyu Douluo smiled, "The Young Master is here. Dragon Subduing and I were just about to look for you. Your fifth and sixth Soul Rings need to be put on the agenda. Xiao Meng has also reached the time to obtain her fifth Soul Ring, so it's perfect to do it together this time."
"I wanted to ask the Young Master, can you withstand the impact of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? If you can, the range for your fifth Soul Ring should be around 60,000 years, and you could obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year one directly for your sixth."
"For this, we intend to ask Du Busi for assistance to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast together, ensuring that all your subsequent Soul Rings are Hundred-Thousand-Year ones."
Ye Que pondered for a moment and said, "The limit my sixth Soul Ring can withstand should be over ninety thousand years, but after hunting so many Evil Soul Masters and gaining a massive amount of merit, I believe absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring shouldn't be a problem."
"But if we do that, we will owe the Body Sect two favors."
Dragon Subduing Douluo and Guangyu Douluo were delighted to hear this.
Their guess was correct; the Young Master was already capable of absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
In this way, the probability of achieving godhood through merit in the future would be much higher.
As for the favor owed to the Body Sect, they, the descendants of Martial Soul Hall, could afford to pay it back. At worst, they would just do some tasks for the Heaven Dou Empire and the Body Sect to offset the massive debt.
With Du Busi personally intervening, the chance of an accident was much lower, and even if they encountered people from Shrek Academy, they could escape safely.
Dragon Subduing Douluo said earnestly, "Then let us set off for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. The sooner we obtain the two rings for the Young Master, the sooner you can advance to the six-ring level."
"And Xiao Meng," Guangyu Douluo added, not forgetting the girl.
Ye Que nodded, putting the matter of soul hunting aside, and looked at Dragon Subduing Douluo, saying, "Senior's current Soul Power Level is 97. How much confidence do you have in condensing a second Soul Core to advance to a 99th-level Limit Douluo?"
Dragon Subduing Douluo was stunned for a long while upon hearing this.
Why would the Young Master ask this question?
It seemed the Young Master was also aware that the current situation of the Martial Soul Hall descendants was worrying.
Dragon Subduing Douluo spoke frankly, "This subordinate has been at level 97 for thirty years, and with the help of the Silver Dragon soul, advancing to a Limit Douluo is only a matter of time. However, I am stuck at a critical step: I lack a sufficiently great opportunity."
"After we lost the Angel God, the power of faith vanished, and we no longer have a way to reach the limit through a single Soul Core. Thus, we must seek another opportunity, and this opportunity cannot be of any other attribute; it must be suitable for me."
"If I can encounter the right opportunity, I will be able to condense a second Soul Core and step into the ranks of Limit Douluo."
So it was a matter of opportunity... Ye Que narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Is it really just an opportunity you need? If you were to break through to the limit, would you leave me and no longer consider yourself a descendant of Martial Soul Hall?"
Dragon Subduing Douluo laughed heartily, patted the Young Master's shoulder, and said, "Ten thousand years have passed, and we have never forgotten the ancestral teachings. Even if I become a Limit Douluo, I will not betray the Young Master, because our faith and our front are the same. We have never been aristocrats."
Ye Que breathed a sigh of relief.
From the firm look in the other man's eyes, he could tell that Dragon Subduing Douluo was not a double agent.
He was truly afraid that if Dragon Subduing Douluo obtained an immortal herb, he would turn around and become a dog for Shrek, turning his blade against the descendants of Martial Soul Hall.
If that happened, he would truly be a sinner, failing the Angel Clan.
With the precedent of Wang Yan, Ye Que really dared not trust anyone easily, even if that person was very good to him.
When Wang Yan said those words about being a man of Shrek, Ye Que had considered him a loyal believer of the Sea God.
Subsequently, Ye Que bowed and said, "Senior Dragon Subduing, please do not take offense. I am only afraid of Shrek's moles infiltrating our camp; after all, there is a precedent."
"You mean, Wang Yan?" Dragon Subduing Douluo narrowed his eyes, thinking of that person.
Ye Que did not deny it and nodded.
Bang—!
Dragon Subduing Douluo smashed the stone table with a single palm, his tone icy as he said, "That traitor! He and his father were the most useless waste in our family. Despite having top-tier talent, they chose the same path as that bastard Yu Xiaogang, calling us pedantic and saying we only thought about restoring Martial Soul Hall to rule the continent again."
"But that piece of trash didn't know that we weren't being pedantic; we just wanted all Soul Masters to be equal, to build a harmonious continent, and to stand united against the outside."
"This Seat should have slapped Wang Yan's father to death back then. I never imagined his son would become a dog for Shrek. Every time I think of this, This Seat is filled with shame."
Ye Que looked at Dragon Subduing Douluo's furious expression and was quite startled.
Guangyu Douluo reached out and patted Dragon Subduing Douluo, comforting him, "The traitor is gone, let's not get ourselves worked up."
Dragon Subduing Douluo sat back down on the stone stool, his chest heaving unsteadily.
Clearly, his anger had yet to subside.
Wang Yan's betrayal had nearly caused those of them who were descendants of the Falling Devil line to be misunderstood by the Young Master; anyone would be furious in his position.
Right now, Dragon Subduing Douluo wished he could fly straight to Shrek and beat that good-for-nothing waste Wang Yan to death with a single strike of his staff.
At this moment, Ye Que smiled and said, "Since the senior's stance is so firm, I will speak plainly: I know how to help you ascend to the rank of Limit Douluo."
The two descendants of Martial Soul Hall saw their breathing turn ragged in an instant, their gazes locked onto the Young Master, filled with intense longing.
Dragon Subduing Douluo's expression grew solemn bit by bit, yet he did not utter a single word.
He desired to become a Limit Douluo far too much.
Ye Que smiled faintly and began, "This time, we shall first go to assist the two of you in your advancement. Once Elder Dragon Subduing has become a Limit Douluo, we will then head to the Star Dou Forest."
"That would be excellent!" Dragon Subduing Douluo slapped the table, his emotions unusually stirred.
Guangyu Douluo also agreed that this was a sound proposal.
In this way, the Martial Soul Hall faction would have its own Limit Douluo, and they would no longer be held in check by the Evil Soul Masters and Shrek.
The existence of a Limit Douluo could protect a faction even ten thousand years into the future.
If the Martial Soul Hall faction possessed a Limit Douluo, their future would be full of promise.
