The Target of the Ninth Soul Ring

"You... you really mean that!"

Upon hearing Ning Que's words, Di Tian's eyes immediately brightened.

If anyone else claimed to have this ability, he would never believe them.

Even if this person were Ning Que, he wouldn't believe Ning Que would have this ability.

But if that person had said those words, it would have been completely different.

Although he hadn't had many interactions with Electrolux, each one filled Di Tian with admiration.

An existence that hasn't even reached the level of a god, yet it can conjure up Super Divine Artifact with its bare hands and create a demiplane.

This existence is simply too powerful and defies the heavens.

"That's natural."

"However, it's not without conditions."

"What the teacher needs is the Gold of Life, and besides that, there's also Xiong Jun..."

Ning Que then explained the specific details of the transaction, but the condition he mentioned was not stated aloud; instead, he communicated with Di Tian through mental transmission.

This is why he provoked Xiong Jun as soon as he entered, thus causing Xiong Jun to fully reveal his hidden strength.

He had discussed Xiong Jun's transformation with Guyi in private, so there was a high probability that Xiong Jun's bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form for some reason.

He possesses some Behemoth blood.

The Behemoth, the natural enemy of the Dragon Clan, feeds on dragons.

Only after Di Tian clearly understands Xiong Jun's awakened bloodline can subsequent actions be carried out more effectively.

Of course, if Xiong Jun's bloodline had not reverted to its ancestral form, then his previous actions could be considered as him establishing his authority and testing his own combat power.

"Both of your conditions are somewhat..."

Upon hearing Ning Que's words, Di Tian fell silent.

He finally understood why Ning Que had attacked Xiong Jun earlier.

The problem is, neither of these two things is easy to handle.

Both the Gold of Life and the Xiong Jun are extremely important to Soul Beast.

Back then, a large chunk of the Gold of Life was bitten off by that damned Soul Beast. Although some remains, most of it has been used to help the Lord heal his injuries.

Whether this deal can be completed still needs to be discussed with the Lord.

After all, if that person could truly mobilize the power of the entire plane to help the Lord heal his injuries, paying some Gold of Life wouldn't be a problem.

"I will inquire with the Lord about the Gold of Life, but regarding Xiong Jun, further planning is needed."

After some deliberation, Di Tian still did not immediately agree to abandon Xiong Jun.

Indeed, this guy has a terrible personality and temper, but he is, after all, Soul Beast.

Di Tian would not abandon him unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Of course, I don't need Xiong Jun for the time being; I'll need some more time."

"Moreover, I never intended to take Xiong Jun's life; I only intended to transform him into Soul Spirit so that he could accompany me to the Divine Realm."

"It's better to separate temporarily than to stay and become a threat, or one day turn into an enemy."

"You've probably already noticed something about his bloodline."

Ning Que then explained his purpose.

"It will be very difficult for you to do this. Given Xiong Jun's personality, even if I abandon him, he will not submit to you humans."

"It's very likely they'll fight you to the death."

Di Tian was clearly somewhat tempted.

But he also knew Xiong Jun's temperament, and that it wouldn't be easy for Ning Que to accomplish this.

"Don't worry, I'm confident in my ability to do this."

Ning Que didn't say anything more.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

Appreciation is one thing, methods are another, but if Xiong Jun ultimately refuses to submit, then let him become Soul Ring directly, rather than Soul Spirit.

With his current abilities and resources, he could easily absorb the Soul Ring of a Ferocious Beast.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I'd like your help with."

Ning Que thought of his ninth Soul Ring, pondered for a moment, and decided that since he had already troubled Xiong Jun, he might as well trouble him again.

"What is it?"

Di Tian did not refuse, but instead asked a question.

As time passed and their transactions increased, Di Tian realized that the Star Dou Great Forest was now deeply intertwined with Ning Que and his group.

In a situation where everyone prospers, he would naturally not refuse anything that he could do.

"My goal for my ninth Soul Ring is to become the chieftain of the Mermaid Clan. With my strength, I can certainly do that, but going to the open sea might attract the attention of the Sea God."

"I need your help to bring the other person here."

"Don't worry, I won't let you do this for nothing. After it's done, I'll give you a gift that will elevate you to a higher level."

Ning Que said this, but in reality, he didn't know what he would offer Di Tian in exchange for.

First, offer them a rosy picture; as for the rest, we'll figure that out later.

If all else fails, I'll just casually reveal some of my most treasured secrets.

"The chieftain of the Mermaid Clan."

Upon hearing that the target was an ocean Soul Beast, Di Tian was not particularly opposed to it.

Moreover, the Mermaid Clan were devout believers in the Sea God, so Di Tian had no psychological burden when it came to fighting.

As for whether doing so would offend the Sea God, Di Tian didn't care.

When he killed the Titan Giant Ape, he had already completely offended the Sea God.

He knew that Ning Que was using him as a shield to make him take the blame.

But Di Tian didn't see anything wrong with it.

In this situation, he is indeed the most suitable person to take action.

As for the reward Ning Que mentioned for further improving his strength, Di Tian really didn't care.

Or rather, he didn't think Ning Que could offer anything that would allow him to further improve his strength.

"Okay, I agree."

After a moment's thought, Di Tian gave his reply.

Thank you!

Hearing Di Tian say this, Ning Que laughed happily.

I must say, once Di Tian considers you one of his own, he's really easy to get along with.

He felt that, if conditions allowed, it would be better to give Di Tian a better ending.

However, all of these were too far away for him.

Even though his combat power is now comparable to a level 98 Titled Douluo, and he can even contend with Limit Douluo, he knows very well that he is still nothing in front of the behemoth that is the Divine Realm.

"I'll go see the Lord right away and give you an answer within three months."

"During this process, you can stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, or you can leave and wait for me to contact you."

Di Tian was a decisive and efficient person; once he identified his target, he immediately took action.

"I'll stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and take this opportunity to get to know Xiong Jun."

Ning Que also wanted to see what kind of opportunities he could find in the Star Dou Great Forest.
