The Use of Soul Fragments and Gu Long'er

Kong Bo finished inspecting Zi Ji's Three Moons Martial Soul, and at this moment, Electrolux woke up. "Little Kong Bo, that little lioness is no ordinary creature. Judging by your expression, it seems you've gained quite a lot from this spiritual connection."

"Of course, let me tell you all about it." Kong Bo then recounted to Electrolux the benefits he had reaped from the spiritual connection.

"Very good," Electrolux said. "However, the most effective improvement is in the power of destiny; your luck will be much better from now on."

Kong Bo curled his lip after hearing this. "Elder Electrolux, you know me. I have always kept my distance from such... mysterious powers." Kong Bo remarked. After all, he understood the principle that a scholar should not speak of strange phenomena, spirits, or gods. He could grasp elements like ice, fire, and life, as well as time and space, but destiny? Forget it.

"You little one, you are exactly like the scholars I once knew—valuing logic, conjecture, and practice, while keeping your distance from anything uncontrollable." Electrolux laughed. "For such a young child, your thinking is remarkably old-fashioned. However, that little lioness was right to choose you for the destiny connection, as she possesses a certain ability to manipulate fate, and her own destiny is bound to hit a bottleneck. Such a bottleneck is a great trial for her, but by binding her fate to a human like us, she may lose the ability to manipulate destiny, but she will also be spared that bottleneck. As for her other attributes, they are also of great help to you; for instance, your spiritual power has increased significantly, which means your Martial Soul can operate with higher efficiency. As for this destiny business, even if I explained it, you wouldn't understand, but in short, there are benefits regarding fate."

Electrolux browsed through Kong Bo's memories and felt a sense of surprise; Kong Bo's thoughts and behavior were nothing like those of a child his age. Electrolux had been a light-element mage and had grown up studying magic; at six years old, he certainly wouldn't have preferred researching elemental magic over the lofty power of destiny. Yet, looking at Kong Bo's memories, they were filled with various conjectures, research, and records regarding elemental magic. Kong Bo was truly a born scholar.

"Compared to such ethereal existences, I still prefer these more concrete elements," Kong Bo said.

"Besides that, there is something strange about this little lioness," Electrolux said. He then produced a blue sphere. "This is what flew out of her when you were performing the spiritual connection. I sensed it—it is a fragment of a soul. To be able to slice a soul... this is not a technique that should exist on Douluo Planet. It must be from the God Realm. Someone has their eyes on the little lioness."

"I know what this is," Kong Bo said. Isn't this a piece of God King Tang's precious daughter's soul? Now that it had been captured by Electrolux, he added, "Elder Electrolux, let me explain what is going on here." Kong Bo then laid out Tang San's schemes for Electrolux.

Tang San wanted to covet the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's power of destiny, so he tore off a part of his own precious daughter's soul and stuffed it into the Golden Dragon Spear, casting it down like a sugar-coated bullet. When Kong Bo performed the spiritual connection with the Three-Eyed Golden Ni, this soul fragment fell into his hands.

Hearing this, Electrolux's eyes widened. "Such a scoundrel is fit to be a father? However, this soul fragment can be put to good use. You mentioned that the Great God King Tang has many arrangements on Douluo Planet; those must be places outsiders cannot enter, so we can use this soul fragment as a key. I have read the Scholar's Notes you gave me, and there is a technique called the Slicing Technique. I am well-versed in necromancy, and the two can be combined."

In the library within Kong Bo's mind, various studies by Dottore were recorded, including a section on the Slicing Technique. Kong Bo realized these studies might have some resonance with Electrolux's necromancy, so he shared the Slicing Technique with him to help interpret it.

"Elder Electrolux, do you mean we can create a puppet? I would control this puppet and use the soul fragment to provide the necessary soul aura, allowing us to bypass the various seals set by God King Tang, since we would be entering as his daughter?"

"Exactly, you are very clever," Electrolux said. "However, we must carefully consider the raw materials and combine them with this Slicing Technique to create something."

"I leave it to you, Elder Electrolux," Kong Bo said. It was now the era of the Peerless Tang Sect. Although God King Tang had harvested the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well thoroughly, after ten thousand years, many immortal herbs had grown back. In truth, the immortal herbs were secondary; the most important things in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were the dragon bodies and dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, which had been hidden beneath the well all along.

Beyond the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Qiankun Asking Love Valley was another treasure trove, and also the place where God King Tang trained his "dogs." However, in Kong Bo's view, the fact that God King Tang could train dogs there proved that the arrangements were of God Realm caliber. God King Tang cared about his son, but he should be equally generous toward his eldest daughter, after all, he needed to use her to bind Huo Yuhao.

A day later, Kong Bo prepared to pack up and return to Ming Capital with Kong Deming. The harvest from this trip was substantial. Six powerful soul beasts—the Evil Emperor, the Demon Empress, Lan Fozi, Zi Ji, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress—were willing to follow Kong Bo to Ming Capital. Furthermore, Di Tian and the others had gifted soul bones and various heavenly treasures to Xu Tianran.

Additionally, in his spare time, Kong Bo used Red Moon to copy the life spectrums of Di Tian, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and the others. Once his strength improved and his Three Moons Martial Soul became sufficiently powerful, he would be able to create Martial Souls or soul rings for other soul masters. Red Moon's mastery over the power of life was truly terrifying.

Just as Kong Bo was about to leave, a beautiful young girl wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops appeared beside Zi Ji. She looked to be about twelve years old, with long flaxen hair and a pair of bright golden eyes. She looked full of vitality, with a tall, well-developed figure; one could imagine she would grow into a wealthy and generous woman in the future.

"Kong Bo, let's go," the girl said to him.

"Three-Eyed Golden Ni?" Kong Bo asked upon hearing the girl's voice. "Why are you here? Did you convince the Beast God?"

"Of course," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said. "Since these sisters of mine are going to Ming Capital with you, it's hard to say whether the Star Dou Great Forest or Ming Capital is safer. I won't be called Three-Eyed Golden Ni anymore; I have chosen my own name: Gu Long'er."
