Slaughter City

The next day, Ning Fengzhi brought Sword Douluo to Skywater Academy.

As the sect master, possessing great wisdom and boldness, Ning Fengzhi exuded immense personal charisma. To treat a genius like Su Yun Tao, he directly offered a soul bone.

It was just a pity that Su Yun Tao did not wish to be too deeply entangled with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so he did not accept it.

With the strength of the Martial Soul Hall—two limit Douluo, six elders at level 96 or above, over a dozen Titled Douluo elders, and the trump card of Qian Renxue who was destined to become a god—Su Yun Tao truly could not understand how they had lost in the original story.

In this timeline, Su Yun Tao had already transmigrated. As long as the Martial Soul Hall did not take a single wrong step, they could have the last laugh. Under such circumstances, Su Yun Tao would not gamble with his own life or the lives of his friends.

Su Yun Tao did not fear death, but there were too few things in this world that could make him sacrifice his life, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was clearly not among them.

A sense of frustration clearly rose in Ning Fengzhi's heart, but he said nothing, merely offering a polite smile.

Although Su Yun Tao had explicitly refused, he did not give up. He knew that Yang Wudi was on good terms with Su Yun Tao, so to win Su Yun Tao over, he decided to rally the Four Single-Attribute Clans who were opposed to the Martial Soul Hall, formally raising a banner in the soul master world to resist the Martial Soul Hall.

Three days later, Yang Wudi arrived at Skywater Academy.

"Old Yang, have you made up your mind?"

"To hell with it! It's just the Slaughter City! Little Monster, if you and I join forces, I don't believe we can't get through it!"

"Good. Since that is the case, we shall set off today," Su Yun Tao said with a smile.

Nearby, Shui Xinhan brought out two large gift boxes. "Yun Tao, these are the things you wanted. Are you really planning to head to the Slaughter City?"

Su Yun Tao nodded and said, "Dean, in fact, I planned my path of tempering long ago. The Slaughter City is a place I must visit!"

"Actually, your strength is already unrivaled among your peers; there is no need to head to the Slaughter City at such a young age."

Su Yun Tao looked at the vast sky outside the window and spoke slowly, "Dean, my mind is made up. There is no need to persuade me further."

Shui Xinhan sighed and said nothing more.

Su Yun Tao knew clearly that his so-called invincibility among his peers was actually due to the crushing advantage of his soul power, soul rings, and soul bones. His combat strength at the same rank was actually not that strong. For the first ten years after transmigrating to the continent, he was just a weakling who had no qualifications to engage in any decent combat.

Later, after four years of bitter training in the Star Dou Great Forest, his combat experience had greatly increased, but it was still far from enough! The life-and-death experience of the Slaughter City was what Su Yun Tao lacked most urgently right now.

The tempering of the Slaughter City itself was secondary; the most critical factor was that the place held the Asura God position that Su Yun Tao dreamed of. Furthermore, there was the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent inner core on the Hell Road that could allow Su Yun Tao's martial soul to evolve once more. Su Yun Tao was determined to succeed in his trip to the Slaughter City!

"Dean!" Su Yun Tao took out several gift boxes and pushed one forward. "This is a gift for you. I hope you can successfully perfect your martial soul."

Shui Xinhan opened the gift box with a look of surprise. Inside was a narcissus emitting a bone-chilling cold.

"Ice Crystal Jade Muscle Bone!" Yang Wudi's eyelids twitched, and his heart pounded.

Shui Xinhan looked at the Ice Crystal Jade Muscle Bone before her, and in the dark, she felt her Ice Dragon martial soul stir restlessly.

"Dean, the greatest function of this immortal herb, the Ice Crystal Jade Muscle Bone, is to strengthen the ice element of your martial soul. After you consume it, your martial soul might be perfected, and the ice attribute of your Ice Dragon might touch the threshold of the ultimate."

A burning heat appeared in Shui Xinhan's eyes; the significance of the Ice Crystal Jade Muscle Bone to her was self-evident.

"Dean, there is no need for more words between us. Please, consume this immortal herb."

"Alright!" Shui Xinhan took a deep breath, calming her emotions. "Yun Tao, thank you."

Su Yun Tao put away the two gift boxes Shui Xinhan had prepared for him; inside were the specially made uniforms of the Martial Soul Hall.

"Dean, besides this Ice Crystal Jade Muscle Bone, I have also prepared gifts for Bing'er and Yue'er."

"As for the specific method of consumption, let Old Yang explain it to you."

What Su Yun Tao had prepared for Shui Bing'er were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. These two powerful immortal herbs could grant the user immunity to both ice and fire.

Immunity to ice and fire was an extremely powerful trait. Beyond exerting great suppression on ice and fire soul masters, the most terrifying aspect was that it allowed the user to absorb superior ice and fire soul rings!

If Shui Bing'er consumed these two immortal herbs, her ability to absorb ice-type soul beasts would be greatly enhanced! Taking the Ice Jade Scorpion, which possessed the Ultimate Ice, as an example: the greatest challenge the Ice Jade Scorpion posed to a soul master's body, after it abandoned its venom to evolve into the Ultimate Ice, was that very element.

If Shui Bing'er possessed immunity to ice and fire, the Ice Jade Scorpion would be like a tiger without teeth; its powerful Ultimate Ice would not be able to cause any impact on her body. In this way, the soul ring produced by absorbing the Ice Jade Scorpion would yield twice the result with half the effort!

If Su Yun Tao's Lone Wolf martial soul were not a blank slate requiring powerful elemental support, he would have chosen these two immortal herbs to enhance his own soul ring absorption ability back then.

Su Yun Tao had left the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot for Shui Bing'er, while for Shui Yue'er, he had left the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.

Looking at the four supreme treasures before her, Shui Xinhan asked, "Yun Tao, are you not confident in your trip to the Slaughter City?"

Su Yun Tao laughed. "Dean, I am quite confident in myself, and besides, Old Yang and I will look out for one another. It is just that the sooner one consumes such immortal herbs, the greater the impact on the future. I will be gone for at least a year or two, so giving them to you now is a good choice."

Shui Xinhan nodded. "Yun Tao, I will say no more. I hope that in the future, I will be able to see you possessing the Slaughter God's Domain."

Half a month later, Su Yun Tao and Yang Wudi, having eaten and rested well along the way, arrived at a small town.

The town did not look large, but Su Yun Tao clearly sensed that the atmosphere in the surroundings was somewhat strange.

"Little Monster, we have arrived. The entrance to the Slaughter City is right here."

Su Yun Tao injected soul power into his soul tool and took out the two sets of Martial Soul Hall uniforms he had prepared in advance.

"Old Yang, put these on."

"The clothes of the Martial Soul Hall!" Yang Wudi frowned.

"Old Yang, the only ones who can truly pose a threat to the Slaughter City, aside from the Worship Hall of the Martial Soul Hall, are Bibi Dong and Tang Hao, who possess the Slaughter God's Domain."

"Wearing this Martial Soul Hall uniform will make the Slaughter City wary, sparing us from many demons and monsters."

Yang Wudi said slowly, "I do not wish to use things from the Martial Soul Hall."

Su Yun Tao laughed. "Old Yang, you must understand that you are now using the background of the Martial Soul Hall to enhance your own strength. The one who should be worried is the Martial Soul Hall, not you."
