Careful Planning
"The five elements revolve, and Yi wood generates Li fire—!!!"
In the valley of Sunset Forest, where the "Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well" is located, Ling Yi and Liu Erlong stand hand in hand on the chains spanning the red and white springs, chanting in unison. 👻🐸 ♨🐯
A dazzling blue-green light emanated from Ling Yi and Liu Erlong, absorbing the pale green life force gathering from all directions and transforming it into a pale blue flame that enveloped Ling Yi two of them.
The pale blue flames were extremely hot, enough to withstand the freezing and scorching heat of the metal chains, which turned bright red in just a few breaths.
Amidst the flames, Ling Yi and Liu Erlong, completely unaffected by the intense heat, exchanged a glance before simultaneously leaping into the air.
The next second, a high-pitched dragon roar soared into the sky, shattering the clouds that had lingered above the valley for years.
On the cliff, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo stood side by side, looking down.
In their eyes, Ling Yi and Liu Erlong's figures had disappeared, replaced by a serpentine creature over twenty meters long, wingless yet capable of flying.
It was a giant dragon covered in blue diamond-shaped scales!
The giant azure dragon had two fiery red horns on its head, and four dragon claws wrapped in azure Lie Yan beneath its belly. Its golden dragon eyes radiated power and majesty, and its powerful dragon might spread out. Its heavy aura caused Chen Xin and Dugu Bo on the cliff to unconsciously frown.
"Old Poisoner, the ' Azure Flame Giant Dragon ' summoned by Kid Yi and Long is far more powerful than your ' Wood Dragon ' phantom."
Chen Xin glanced at Dugu Bo beside her, raised an eyebrow, and said with ill intent.
"Nonsense!" Dugu Bo glanced sideways at Chen Xin and retorted, "You said it yourself, my ' Wood Dragon ' is an illusion, but what they summoned through their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was a real ' Azure Flame Giant Dragon '!"
"Tsk!"
Not seeing the expression he wanted on Dugu Bo's face, Chen Xin clicked his tongue in boredom and didn't continue the topic.
Just then, another dragon roar was heard. The azure dragon that had circled the rock walls of the valley below raised its head and rushed up to the valley entrance, level with the cliff. Its golden dragon eyes met those of Chen Xin and Dugu Bo, and then it plunged headfirst into the valley.
"It's starting!" Dugu Bo watched the dragon's body turn around and charge back, his eyes fixed on the valley floor without blinking.
Chen Xin, standing beside him, was no exception; he too was gazing at the bottom of the valley, his expression unusually serious.
From the cliff at the mouth of the valley to the bottom of the valley, there is a drop of about 400 meters. For Ling Yi and his companion, who had transformed into "Azure Flame Giant Dragon", this distance could be crossed in the blink of an eye.
Looking down at the red and white spring water getting closer and closer, until it was almost within reach, Ling Yi and Liu Erlong did not hesitate at all and plunged into the half of the vermilion spring water.
Despite its enormous size, the dragon entered the water with remarkable lightness and smoothness, without splashing a single drop of water; everything remained perfectly still.
Upon entering the vermilion spring, the once scorching water, which resembled magma, was no longer terrifying. Ling Yi and Liu Erlong, who had transformed into "Azure Flame Giant Dragon," felt a warmth that brought them indescribable comfort and pleasure, as if they were soaking in a hot spring.
After turning around once, the dragon avoided the milky white spring on the other side of the pool and stretched its body on the vermilion spring side. Its tail drooped towards the bottom of the pool, and its head rested on the edge of the pool, where it silently began to cultivate.
One could feel that as the dragon's body was soaked in the crimson spring water, a mysterious aura was quietly seeping into the "Azure Flame Giant Dragon's " body, purifying the true dragon blood catalyzed by the wood elemental energy bit by bit.
Time passed slowly, and about twenty minutes later, the blue scales on the dragon's body in the spring water faintly glowed red. Sensing that Liu Erlong's spirit, physical strength, and Soul Power had all reached their limits, Ling Yi took over the control, controlling the dragon's tail underwater to swing, and the dragon's body used the force to fly out.
As soon as she leaped out of the water, Liu Erlong's spirit relaxed, and she could no longer maintain the form of the "Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Azure Flame Giant Dragon". While still in mid-air, the dragon body turned into starlight and disappeared amidst the flashing azure light, revealing two human figures.
It was Ling Yi and Liu Erlong. Right below them, the crimson spring water rippled, giving the impression that hot soup was about to boil.
"Oh no!" *2
On the cliff, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo, who had been observing the situation, immediately noticed the two's predicament and decisively jumped down into the valley.
However, before the two could leap to the bottom of the valley, Ling Yi, still in mid-air, stretched out his left arm and pulled the weak and powerless Liu Erlong into his arms. With his right hand reaching up, a green vine with some golden patterns flew out of thin air amidst the flashing emerald light. One end Entanglement the metal chain that stretched across the spring, while the other end was held in Ling Yi's hand.
With a slight sway, Ling Yi and Liu Erlong landed smoothly on the ground by the pool.
Helping Liu Erlong sit down cross-legged, Ling Yi raised his hand and pressed it against her smooth forehead, mobilizing his spiritual power to sense her.
Just then, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo arrived at the bottom of the valley. While they were still in mid-air, they saw Ling Yi's actions, and the tension in their hearts immediately eased.
A moment later, seeing Ling Yi withdraw his hand, Dugu Bo stepped forward, approached the two, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yi, how is Long Yatou?"
"Don't worry~"
Ling Yi smiled broadly, his gaze shifting from Liu Erlong to Dugu Bo and Chen Xin. He chuckled and said, "Having absorbed the pure dragon energy from this Extreme Flame Spring, Erlong's ' Fire Dragon ' Martial Soul bloodline is being tempered. When she wakes up, she should be able to break through to level sixty with her Soul Power, thanks to this baptism of dragon energy and the stimulation of the extreme flame power..."
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, both Dugu Bo and Chen Xin's lips twitched involuntarily.
If they remember correctly, Liu Erlong is only twenty-three or twenty-four years old this year, right?
Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect seems to have broken through to the Six-Ring Soul Emperor realm at the age of twenty-four, Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, achieved the Six-Ring Soul Emperor at the age of twenty-three. Is Liu Erlong about to surpass them?!
But then I think about Ah Yin, that monstrous genius who broke through to the Six-Ring Soul Emperor before she was even twenty-one, and Tang Hao's talent seems to be just so-so... what a load of rubbish!
Dugu Bo and Chen Xin suddenly remembered that they seemed to have broken through to the Six-Ring Soul Emperor realm in their forties or thirties. When they compared themselves with geniuses like Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, Ling Yi, and Yang Shelly, who became Six-Ring Soul Emperor in their twenties, they felt like they had been abandoned by the times.
Especially Dugu Bo, who watched Ling Yi grow up. Thinking back to their first meeting, Ling Yi was a sixteen-year-old boy with only level twenty-seven Soul Power, while Dugu Bo was forty-one years old and a level sixty-two Soul Emperor.
Now, seventeen years have passed. Ling Yi is thirty-three years old and a level seventy-two Soul Saint (on the surface). Dugu Bo is fifty-eight years old and a level eighty-three Soul Douluo.
To be honest, achieving the level of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo at this age is something that Dugu Bo could never have imagined in the past.
But after deciding to follow Ling Yi, Dugu Bo felt a strange sense of being blessed by heaven and earth when he cultivated, and the speed was so fast that he even felt a little unreal.
Even with the accelerator activated, Dugu Bo's cultivation speed was still being caught up by Ling Yi step by step. Sometimes, Ling Yi Dugu Bo wondered if Ling Yi, and the women around him, would become Titled Douluo before him.
There's no way around it, these people's performance is just too phenomenal!
Take a look.
Ling Yi, 33 years old, a level 72 Healing System Soul Saint.
Yang Shelly, 33 years old, a level 72 Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint.
Ah Yin, 27 years old, a level 72 Control System Battle Soul Saint.
Liu Erlong, 24 years old, is about to break through to level 60.
Ah Rou is twenty years old this year and is already a level 59 Power Attack System Battle Soul King.
Not counting the prodigies of other forces on the continent, just Ling Yi and his confidantes alone are destined to become five Titled Douluo in the future!
After Dugu Bo condensed the "Wood Dragon Pearl", he never doubted whether he could successfully break through to the Titled Douluo realm. But now, looking at the progress of Ling Yi and others, he really had no confidence that he could break through before them.
Seeing Dugu Bo fall silent, his thoughts drifting, Ling Yi raised an eyebrow, guessing at the other's current state of mind, but he didn't say anything to comfort him.
Saying anything would be inappropriate; it's better to pretend you know nothing.
Looking back at Liu Erlong, who was still cultivating with her eyes closed, Ling Yi was diligently absorbing the benefits brought by the baptism of the Extreme Flame Spring Water. Ling Yi slightly flicked his right hand, and "Blue Silver Grass" sprouted from the ground. The rapidly growing grass leaves intertwined in the blink of an eye to form three chairs.
After inviting Dugu Bo and Chen Xin to sit down, Ling Yi took out a stack of documents from the storage bracelet on his wrist and began to read them.
Noticing Ling Yi's movements, Dugu Bo and the other person glanced at the documents in Ling Yi's hands from the left and right.
[Near the Star -Star Moon Archipelago in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire, Space-Escaping Whale is suspected to be lurking... The city lord of Nanhu City, Yun Buyu speak of it, but every thirty years or so, an 80,000-year-old Space-Escaping Whale stirs up tsunamis to harass the coast...]
[Within the Lost Track Grand Canyon, within the range of XXX to XXX, Illusory Void Flower, which are the favorite food of the Mind-Bewildering Butterfly, are in bloom. No trace of the Void-Breaking Mantis, which hunts the Mind-Bewildering Butterfly, has been found...]
[A century-old Silver Space Bamboo was discovered on the outskirts of a 300-mile-long swamp in the western part of the Star Dou Great Forest... It is speculated that a 10,000-year-old Silver Space Bamboo exists deep within the swamp...]
Noticing the messages on the document, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo looked at each other and saw the curiosity in each other's eyes.
"Ah Yi— " Dugu Bo coughed lightly, asking with curiosity, "Judging from the information you're looking at, are you searching for Soul Beast with spatial attributes?"
"Hmm~" Upon hearing this, Ling Yi raised his head, nodded, and smiled at Dugu Bo, "Yes."
"Why are you looking for this thing?" Chen Xin couldn't help but ask. "Your Martial Soul isn't spatial, and none of the girls around you are either. Looking for this thing is a waste of time and effort—"
As everyone knows, in the Douluo Continent, space is an elemental attribute.
Of course, even so, spatial attribute is still a very overpowered attribute. Without a specific way to counter it or absolute strength to suppress it, even if you are stronger than the opponent, you will be helpless against those who possess spatial attribute and spatial skills.
Similarly, whether it's the "Space-Escaping Whale," the "Void-Breaking Mantis," or the "Silver Space Bamboo," they are all extremely difficult space-attribute Soul Beast to hunt.
When these Soul Beast encounter opponents they can't defeat, Weiwei escapes by using methods like teleportation, Teleportation, or hiding in subspace, while ordinary humans have almost no means to deal with them.
Therefore, even if Martial Soul has the potential for spatial attributes, most Soul Master will not choose to develop it, but will instead find another attribute path that does not conflict with it.
The corresponding spatial attribute Soul Beast are indeed hard to find and hard to kill, which may cause people to be trapped in a certain realm for many years. Especially after the strength is high, the Soul Beast that need to be hunted become stronger and stronger. Spatial attribute Soul Beast are inherently stronger than other attribute Soul Beast, and Soul Master are often killed by these high-age spatial attribute Soul Beast.
"While Shelly and I don't need it, Senior Gu Rong does—"
Faced with Chen Xin's doubts, Ling Yi smiled and explained, "Senior Gu Rong's Soul Power broke through to level 89 a few months ago, and he's not far from Level 90. I've found him a target in advance to save him time later..."
"Old Bones?" *2
Upon hearing the name Gu Rong, both Chen Xin and Dugu Bo showed expressions of sudden realization.
That makes sense. The opponent's "Bone Dragon" Martial Soul is an extremely rare type. It doesn't follow the dark or undead type of the common "white bone" Martial Soul. The two of them had seen the Soul Skill provided by the previous eight Soul Ring in their sparring. Most of them were space-related, and a few were nether-related. They were all quite strange and troublesome skills.
"Hmm." Ling Yi raised his hand and waved the documents in his hand, smiling, "Although I can't find a 100,000-year-old space-attribute Soul Beast, and even if we did, we probably wouldn't be able to hunt it down, we can still figure out a way to deal with something like this 80,000-year-old ' Space-Escaping Whale'— "
"Tsk tsk—" Chen Xin shook his head upon hearing this, and said with a slightly sour tone, "Old Bones are lucky. With you helping him plan ahead, he's much more comfortable than I was before—"
Previously, Chen Jianjun took him to the "Lost Track Grand Canyon" to hunt high-age Soul Beast for his Ninth Soul Ring. They suffered a lot in the process, encountering many tough opponents along the way, including a 100,000-year-old "Netherfire Phoenix". If it weren't for his father Chen Jianjun's strength, they would not have been able to find and hunt the target, let alone walk out of the "Lost Track Grand Canyon" alive.
Ling Yi could only smile and remain silent in response.
Around the same time, in the ' Star Dou Great Forest ', thousands of miles away.
Beneath a solitary peak thousands of feet high, the "Purple-Patterned Demon Bear," with 67,000 years of cultivation, had abandoned its usual arrogance and ferocity, and stood obediently against the mountain, motionless.
In front of it, a huge pink rabbit and an equally huge black gorilla were staring at it from the left and right.
Just then, a beautiful figure peeked out from behind the giant pink rabbit, her crystal red eyes scrutinizing the "Purple-Patterned Demon Bear" as if she were judging something.
