Getting Rid of Prince Xue Xing, the Treasure-Dropping Coin's Fourth Ring
Zhao Ming returned to Heaven Dou City two days later.
In fact, he didn't care at all how Qian Renxue dealt with Shrek Academy students.
From beginning to end, he never considered Shrek a rival.
Let alone the fact that Shrek is just a bunch of kids around level 30, even if you include Tang Hao, the level 95 Clear Sky Douluo, they are nothing more than ants that he can crush at will in his eyes.
The only reason he spared Tang San's life was because of the Asura God.
As for Tang San himself? He hasn't even obtained his fourth Soul Ring yet, so he's not even worthy of Zhao Ming's attention.
These past few days, Zhao Ming went to the Star Dou Forest.
Holding the dragon scale of Di Tian, Zhao Ming passed through the many barriers of the Star Dou Forest without any hindrance. All the Soul Beast that sensed his aura would automatically retreat and dare not obstruct him.
Soon Zhao Ming arrived near the Life Lake. Da Ming and Er Ming had the aura of humans. He wanted to stop them, but Di Tian drove them away.
When Zhao Ming arrived at the Life Lake, Di Tian was already waiting for him there.
Beast God Di Tian, Black Dragon King with 880,000 years of cultivation, and the undisputed overlord of the current Soul Beast Realm.
When he transformed into human form, he was a burly middle-aged man with a head of black hair draped over his shoulders. His face was resolute and dignified, and his golden vertical pupils were full of domineering and majestic aura. If you looked closely, you could also sense a hint of weariness.
Several other figures stood behind Di Tian.
Xiong Jun, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with 440,000 years of cultivation, was a burly man with broad shoulders and a powerful build when he transformed into human form. His muscles were bulging and he exuded a violent and ferocious aura.
The Myriad Demon King, Demon-Eyed Demon Tree with 510,000 years of cultivation, transformed into a sinister-looking old man in green robes with narrow eyes and a chilling gaze.
Bi Ji, Emerald Swan with 560,000 years of cultivation, is a graceful and beautiful woman in human form, wearing a long emerald green dress, with a gentle and noble temperament.
In addition, there were Zi JI, Scarlet King, and a host of other Ferocious Beast; almost all of the top combat forces of the Star Dou Forest had arrived.
"Zhao Ming, what brings you here this time?" Di Tian asked.
Zhao Ming didn't beat around the bush; he directly took out the dragon scale and stated his purpose. "I want a drop of blood from all the Ferocious Beast of the Star Dou Forest, including Senior Di Tian."
"Boy, what do you want our blood for?" Xiong Jun asked in a gruff voice, his large, round eyes glaring at Zhao Ming, his tone full of hostility.
"Simply put, I created a method for condensing Soul Ring that doesn't require hunting Soul Beast. All Soul Beast needs to do is willingly offer a drop of blood, and a corresponding Soul Ring can be condensed."
Upon hearing this, all the Ferocious Beast showed expressions of surprise.
Can one condense Soul Ring without hunting Soul Beast?
It's important to understand that the biggest conflict between human Soul Master and Soul Beast is the Soul Ring.
Human Soul Master must hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring in order to break through bottlenecks and improve their strength. Soul Beast, in order to survive, will inevitably resist human hunting.
This contradiction has existed since the day the Martial Soul Awakening, and no one has ever been able to resolve it.
And now, Zhao Ming has actually created a method for condensing Soul Ring?
"What you said... is it true?" Di Tian's voice trembled slightly, which was extremely rare for a beast god.
Zhao Ming didn't say much, but simply explained the principle of the Condensation Soul Ring Condensation Method.
Then he took out the blood of Soul Beast that he had prepared in advance and gave a demonstration.
Di Tian stared at the pitch-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring that appeared before Zhao Ming, and remained silent for a long time.
Then, he did something that surprised Zhao Ming.
Di Tian spoke slowly, his tone carrying a rare hint of earnestness, "Zhao Ming, could you... teach me this method?"
Zhao Ming raised an eyebrow, then smiled.
"Can."
He agreed readily, and not only readily, he even offered to pass on the Nine Profound Art to Di Tian well.
The Nine Profound Art is a cultivation method created by Zhao Ming, specifically designed for human Soul Master. It can open up the Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels and greatly improve cultivation efficiency.
He wanted to see if this technique would be effective against Soul Beast.
Di Tian then tried the method taught by Zhao Ming, and the result surprised and delighted him.
The Nine Profound Art cannot help Soul Beast open their Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels. The meridian structure of Soul Beast is different from that of humans, and the meridian-related parts of this technique are completely ineffective for Soul Beast.
However, the part of the cultivation technique that absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be cultivated by Soul Beast, and the effect is quite good.
According to Di Tian's estimation, after cultivating the "Nine Profound Art," the efficiency of Soul Beast in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be increased by at least 30%.
Thirty percent may not sound like much, but for Ferocious Beast that have cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, this improvement is extremely terrifying.
What used to take 100,000 years to complete can now be done in just over 70,000 years, saving enough time to change the fate of the entire Soul Beast race.
When Zhao Ming left the Star Dou Forest, several jade bottles appeared in his Storage Soul Tool.
Each jade bottle contained a drop of blood from Ferocious Beast: the blood of Di Tian, Xiong Jun, the Myriad Demon King, Bi Ji, Zi JI, and the Scarlet King. Even the most mysterious Yao Ling gave him a drop of blood.
He had collected the blood of all the Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Forest.
He planned to use Xiong Jun Di Tian's blood to condense his eighth and ninth Soul Ring.
As for the blood of other Ferocious Beast, he collected it casually, thinking it might come in handy later, perhaps when helping someone nearby condense Soul Ring.
Watching Zhao Ming's figure disappear into the depths of the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian stood by the Life Lake, his gaze lingering for Jiujiu.
"This kid actually created a method for condensing Soul Ring," Di Tian couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with complex emotions. "He's solved the biggest conflict between humans and Soul Beast."
"Di Tian," the Myriad Demon King suddenly spoke, his cold voice tinged with worry, "If humans no longer need our Soul Beast ' Soul Ring, do you think they might simply annihilate us Soul Beast completely?"
Di Tian fell silent.
The Myriad Demon King is right; this is indeed a possibility that cannot be ignored.
In the past, there were gods among humans. The reason why the gods did not dare to exterminate the Soul Beast was largely because humans needed Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring.
If this demand disappears, will subsequent humans who become gods view Soul Beast as a threat and carry out a comprehensive extermination?
Nobody knows the answer.
Di Tian didn't know either, but he trusted Zhao Ming.
"That kid at least has goodwill towards Soul Beast," Di Tian said slowly, a deep light flashing in his golden vertical pupils. "With him as this link, humans and Soul Beast might not be unable to live in harmony."
The Myriad Demon King said nothing more, but a lingering worry remained in his cold eyes.
After returning to the Heaven Dou Empire, Zhao Ming went directly to the imperial palace.
In the imperial study, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was reviewing memorials. She wore a bright yellow dragon robe and had a handsome and dignified face.
Upon seeing Zhao Ming enter, Qian Renxue dismissed everyone around her.
"Sister Xue'er." Zhao Ming sat down directly on the chair next to him.
Qian Renxue put down her vermilion brush, looked up at him, and smiled slightly, revealing a smile that she only showed in front of Zhao Ming.
"You're back? How was the trip?"
"It went quite smoothly." Zhao Ming nodded, and then briefly recounted the gains from the trip.
Upon hearing this, a hint of amazement flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. She had not known that there were Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Forest before; it was only after Zhao Ming told her that she learned this secret.
At that time, Qian Renxue asked Zhao Ming a question: Since you had a good relationship with the leader of the Soul Beast, why didn't you go to him when you were researching the Soul Ring Condensation Method?
After hearing this, Zhao Ming also felt that he had gone to the wrong place. He could have just asked Di Tian to call Xiao Wu back, which would have saved him the trouble of hiding it.
The two chatted for a while longer, and the topic naturally turned to the Shrek Seven Devils.
Qian Renxue told Zhao Ming in detail how she dealt with the Shrek Seven Devils.
After hearing this, Zhao Ming's expression became somewhat strange.
"Sister Xue'er," he said slowly, choosing his words carefully, "Even if you spare Zhu Zhuqing's life and preserve her innocence, you should at least cripple her Soul Power."
Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback. "Why do you say that?"
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze," Zhao Ming said calmly.
"There's no need. I've investigated Zhu Zhuqing's background. Her Innate Soul Power is only level seven, her talent isn't top-tier, and she won't amount to much. Her greatest value is her Martial Soul, the Hell Spirit Cat, which is the fusion material for the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill between the Zhu Family and Dai Family."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would directly cripple her Soul Power, take some measures to prevent suicide, and then find eight or ten men to make her give birth to little Hell Spirit Cat."
This way, it can both provide material for researching the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Technique and completely cut off her possibility of returning to the Star Luo Empire.
Qian Renxue frowned slightly after hearing this.
She knew Zhao Ming was right. From a purely utilitarian perspective, Zhao Ming's plan was indeed more reliable and thorough than her approach, but she didn't really want to do that to a woman.
"There's no need for that. Although Zhu Zhuqing is the second young lady of the Zhu Family, she is not favored within the family."
Her older sister, Zhu Zhuyun, had always wanted her dead. She grew up surrounded by assassinations and plots. Her coming to the Shrek Academy was less about cultivation and more about escaping for her life.
Zhao Ming listened quietly without interrupting.
"Moreover," Qian Renxue's voice lowered further, "The way she looked at Dai Mubai was the kind of look that showed she knew he was a bastard, yet still couldn't help but grasp at the last straw."
I sent her to the Worship Hall, which was actually a form of house arrest. My grandfather was in charge of the Worship Hall, so she would never be able to leave there in her lifetime.
Although her Soul Power wasn't destroyed, with her level seven Innate Soul Power, even if she cultivated until death, she could only ever reach the level of Soul Douluo, never Titled Douluo. A Hell Spirit Cat at the Soul Douluo level couldn't cause any trouble.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming said nothing more.
In his previous life, when he read "Douluo Continent," many readers did indeed like the character Zhu Zhuqing.
But to be honest, he really had absolutely no feelings for Zhu Zhuqing.
A woman who can accept a lecherous tiger like Dai Mubai, a woman who knows he is a womanizer but still follows him wholeheartedly, has no value in his eyes.
However, since Qian Renxue has chosen to imprison Zhu Zhuqing for life, he will not object.
These are all minor matters; Qian Renxue can handle them however she likes. Just go along with her wishes.
"Alright, Xue'er, you decide." Zhao Ming shrugged, then changed the subject, "By the way, what are you planning to do about Dai Mubai?"
A meaningful smile appeared on Qian Renxue's lips.
"Dai Mubai is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. Although he is not favored, he is still of royal blood. After inheriting the White Tiger bloodline, we can kill him then."
After listening, Zhao Ming wanted to ask, "In a sense, aren't the women given to Dai Mubai no different from Zhu Zhuqing?"
Qian Renxue's thoughts were simply that the Star Luo Empire was founded on the White Tiger White Tiger Martial Soul White Tiger Martial Soul, which was the symbol of their royal family.
If the Heaven Dou Empire were to cultivate Soul Master with the White Tiger Martial Soul, the blow to the Star Luo Empire would be far greater than winning a few battles.
"I know that what I did was unfair to those 10 women, but cultivating the White Tiger bloodline can be considered the last thing I did for the Heaven Dou Empire. After I cultivate the substitute, I will return to the Spirit Hall."
After that, with the support of the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire gradually conquered the Star Luo Empire, achieving the unification of the continent with minimal cost and casualties. At that time, the White Tiger Martial Soul might play a crucial role.
I will compensate those women who sacrificed their lives for this cause, and help them cultivate to the level of Soul Saint or higher.
Zhao Ming neither confirmed nor denied this. To be honest, in his opinion, once Qian Renxue returned to the Spirit Hall, she would soon be able to become a god through the Angel Nine Trials, and all these arrangements would be nonsense.
With gods present, wouldn't the Star Luo Empire bow down in worship?
"The only problem now is whether Dai Mubai is willing to have children with those women. If he's not, there's nothing I can do."
Zhao Ming's expression was a bit strange upon hearing this. What did he mean by whether Dai Mubai would agree or not? It would be a miracle if he didn't. At most, he could maintain his composure at first, and it would be good if he could stop partying every night for a few days.
Just as Zhao Ming had suspected, Dai Mubai didn't touch those women at all for the first four days.
He was, after all, a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and he knew exactly what the Heaven Dou Empire was planning. How could he possibly agree to that?
On the fifth day, when Dai Mubai attempted to break through the seal of his Soul Power, a beautiful woman who bore a striking resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing —both with a youthful face and large breasts—overused her Soul Power while cultivating her Soul Skill and collapsed in the courtyard.
This scene reminded Dai Mubai of Zhu Zhuqing, who also cultivated with the same dedication.
Then Dai Mubai remembered Zhu Zhuqing's fake aloofness and became furious.
He pushed open the door, went outside, and carried the woman who bore a striking resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing into the room.
After that, Dai Mubai not only indulged in nightly revelry, but also began to indulge in debauchery during the day.
With ten stunningly beautiful women, Dai Mubai was completely captivated. To borrow a phrase from Duke Anle, "I am so happy here that I forget all about the Star Luo Empire."
Upon learning of this, Qian Renxue smiled, knowing that the inheritance of the White Tiger Martial Soul was now secure.
