Early the next morning, Chu Bai woke up. Last night's Roast Diary had not earned him any reward because his roasting had not been damaging enough, leaving Chu Bai thoroughly frustrated.
He had already written nearly everything he could write. How else was he supposed to write it?
"Chu Bai! Chu Bai!"
Suddenly, Chu Bai heard Ning Rongrong's voice. He opened the door in confusion, and sure enough, it was Ning Rongrong. But how had she found where he lived?
"How did you know I was here?" Chu Bai asked curiously.
"I didn't at first, but I happened to run into Senior Dugu on the road. He was the one who told me you lived here."
Ning Rongrong said with a smile, then naturally walked into Chu Bai's residence. Seeing how she treated the place as if it were her own home, Chu Bai could not help saying, "Hey, this is where a man lives. Aren't you afraid you might see something embarrassing?"
"What could possibly be embarrassing?" Ning Rongrong curled her lip and looked Chu Bai up and down.
For some reason, Chu Bai saw... disdain... in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
"Yes, yes, Young Miss. After all, you were the one hiding in the woods to watch me bathe when we were kids."
Chu Bai rolled his eyes.
Not long after he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, he had bathed in a lake near Spirit City, only to discover a little girl hiding in the woods and peeping at him. Not long after that, he learned...
It had been Ning Rongrong...
"You! You still dare bring that up!"
Ning Rongrong's face flushed red as she rushed forward and punched Chu Bai.
Then, Ning Rongrong wiped the smile off her face and said to Chu Bai, "Chu Bai, I came mainly to tell you that my father has agreed to your conditions. And my Martial Soul really did become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Ning Rongrong released her Martial Soul. It was indeed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and her Soul Power had clearly reached the Soul Elder level. She simply had not yet obtained her third Spirit Ring.
"Then, happy cooperation."
Chu Bai smiled and nodded.
He was not surprised by this outcome.
This trip had effectively helped Spirit Hall recruit three Titled Douluo powerhouses. Although those three Titled Douluo probably would not obey Spirit Hall, since he had promised them that Spirit Hall would not interfere with their personal wishes.
"By the way, Chu Bai, will war really break out on the future Douluo Continent?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"After being divided for so long, if unification is needed, then war will naturally be the foundation for it."
Chu Bai sighed softly. "But if peace talks could work, who would want to fight every day? Do you really think war is child's play? Victory in war is often accompanied by countless corpses and countless shattered families."
"But unfortunately, for Douluo Continent, only war can resolve everything."
Chu Bai then found Dugu Bo and told him that he would soon be leaving Heaven Dou City. Dugu Bo initially thought Chu Bai wanted him to go to Spirit Hall with him, but later learned that was not Chu Bai's intention.
Chu Bai gave Dugu Bo an Immortal Herb and asked him to give it to Dugu Yan. Since he could now cultivate them without limit, he might as well achieve Immortal Herb freedom.
Besides, if Dugu Yan grew powerful, having her join Spirit Hall's team in the future would let them hit Tang San and the others even harder. Though it was also quite possible that they would not even make it to the finals.
Without Ning Rongrong's ultimate support and without Immortal Herbs, that group probably would not end up well.
"Since you've already reached the Soul Elder level, why not let me help you hunt your third Spirit Ring? I haven't fought Soul Beasts in a long time either. My hands are itching."
Chu Bai said to Ning Rongrong.
"Huh? But aren't you going back to Spirit City?" Ning Rongrong froze and studied Chu Bai uncertainly.
"It's on the way anyway. We have to pass through the Star Dou Great Forest." Chu Bai smiled faintly. "Just tell me what kind of Spirit Ring you want. I might not be able to handle a hundred-thousand-year one, but ten-thousand-year ones are easy enough."
"If you really set your sights on a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, have the two elders restrain it with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then support my attacks. If we're lucky, we might even kill it."
Chu Bai pointed at Yue Guan and Gui Mei in the distance.
Yue Guan: "..."
Gui Mei: "..."
The two of them instantly broke out in cold sweat.
You think too highly of us. Even if we could restrain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, if your attacks can't keep up, then once the control wears off, we'll all be finished!
"Pfft. Do you really think everyone is like you, with a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring as their first Spirit Ring?"
Ning Rongrong leaned closer curiously. "By the way, Chu Bai, what Soul Beast did you hunt to obtain the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring for your Second Martial Soul? It's so powerful that it even shattered Grandpa Jian's Martial Soul Avatar."
"What if I said it was a blade of grass? Would you believe me?"
Chu Bai said with a completely serious expression.
"Yeah, right!"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. Chu Bai was helpless. These days, no one believed the truth anymore.
The group soon arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest. However, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, two Titled Douluo, present, some Soul Beasts were frightened away immediately. After searching for quite some time, the group did not find a single Soul Beast...
"Uh... should we move farther away first?" Yue Guan suggested.
Gui Mei nodded in agreement, but before they had gone far, Chu Bai stopped them.
"Two elders, you only need to conceal your auras. Leave attracting the Soul Beasts to me."
Chu Bai took an Immortal Herb emitting a faint fragrance from the As-You-Wish Hundred Treasures Pouch. As its scent spread, rustling sounds soon came from the forest. Yue Guan briefly sensed the surroundings, and his expression changed slightly. "What kind of Immortal Herb is this? It can actually attract so many Soul Beasts."
"Please help us stop any Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old," Chu Bai said with a smile. Then he turned to Ning Rongrong. "So, do you want to try absorbing a Spirit Ring around three thousand years old?"
"Three thousand years? But Tang San told me that the limit for a third Spirit Ring should be around seventeen hundred years." Ning Rongrong looked at Chu Bai in confusion.
Chu Bai was instantly speechless. "You actually believe that ridiculous theory? I'll use the Chaos Aura emitted by my Martial Soul to envelop your body. When you absorb the Spirit Ring, you only need to steady your mind and endure the impact of its power."
Chu Bai felt helpless.
Out of trust in Chu Bai, Ning Rongrong nodded. After all, she had seen the Spirit Rings on him herself.
"In that case, we just need to hunt a suitable Spirit Ring around three thousand years old for you."
Chu Bai summoned the Pangu Axe and released the powerful Soul Power within his body.
