Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III, Dedicated to Screwing Over Tang San
Upon arriving here, Gong Yu released his Life Domain to amplify his power, and sure enough, the surrounding pressure lessened somewhat. He then advanced another ten steps in one go, stopping only at the twentieth step.
Upon reaching this point, Gong Yu did not continue but slowly withdrew.
In no time, Gong Yu had retreated to the bottom of the stone steps.
At this moment, Gong Yu spoke up, "I've tried it, and using auxiliary skills, including domains, is feasible. However, I suggest that everyone avoid using auxiliary skills in normal times, because under the pressure of the Sea God's Light, it has a very good cultivation effect."
Everyone's just trying it out. Climb until you can't go any further, then sit cross-legged on that step to cultivate. After you've adapted, you can consider moving up to the next step. Anyway, we have a year. We just need to complete the assessment within a year."
Upon hearing this, all the women slowly stepped onto the stone steps, with only Na'er watching from below.
Gong Yu looked at Na'er and said with a smile, "Na'er, give me a few months. I need to raise my Soul Power to Level 90 here. Then we can leave and head to Dragon Valley."
Dragon Valley is located on another continent across the sea, which is the future Star Luo Continent. Originally, one could not enter Dragon Valley with a cultivation level exceeding that of Soul King.
However, such restrictions apply to those who are not of the Dragon Clan blood. Gong Yu possesses the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and like Na'er, he is one of the people with the purest Dragon Clan bloodline besides the Dragon God. Therefore, entering Dragon Valley is like going home for the two of them, so there are no restrictions.
"Okay, Brother Yu, I'll wait for you." Na'er nodded and sat down cross-legged. Although the Sea God Mountain was easy for the Sea God to monitor, Na'er was confident that her identity would not be discovered unless the Sea God himself came, so she had nothing to worry about.
In addition, the pervasive spiritual energy here is somewhat useful to Na'er, so staying here temporarily is not a bad deal.
Gong Yu nodded, walked over and kissed Na'er on the forehead before heading back up the stone steps.
However, before he could step forward again, he saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling step back, and the two seemed to have a plan.
After the two of them retreated to the bottom, Gong Yu asked, "Zhu Zhuqing, Lingling, what are your plans?"
Both of them nodded, and then Zhu Zhuqing said, "Lingling and I have seriously considered it, and we want to absorb the Sixth Soul Ring first."
Because Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling had already reached level 60 before taking the Sea God Trial, they were not at their first time reaching a bottleneck when they accepted the assessment mission, and therefore could not obtain the God-Given Soul Ring for the time being.
At this moment, Gong Yu thought to himself, if the two women do not absorb Soul Ring to advance to Soul Emperor, their level will always be displayed as level 60, and the subsequent assessments will probably be the same. So, they might not be able to get the first bottleneck!
Thinking it over, Gong Yu still felt it was better to let Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling absorb the Sixth Soul Ring.
Gong Yu then took out two Soul Spirit Ball and handed them to Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling respectively, saying, "These are the Soul Spirit I prepared for you beforehand. They are both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit. Your Fifth Soul Ring has already been upgraded to 100,000 years, so absorbing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit with your Sixth Soul Ring should not be a problem."
You don't need to worry about the nonsense about Soul Ring. Both Soul Spirit are Contract Soul Spirit. You only need to drip a drop of blood onto the Soul Spirit Ball, and the Soul Spirit inside will automatically form a contract with you. After the contract, the Soul Spirit will only generate one Soul Ring.
Contract Soul Spirit were created after Na'er innovated Soul Spirit technology. Absorbing Contract Soul Spirit does not limit the number of Soul Spirit one can have. In other words, if someone possesses Twin Martial Souls, they can have up to eighteen Soul Spirit.
However, these Contract Soul Spirit are only available to insiders, while outsiders can only purchase ordinary Soul Spirit.
After Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling received the Soul Spirit Ball from Gong Yu, their faces lit up with joy. They then sat down cross-legged, separated by a distance, and followed Gong Yu's instructions to drip their blood onto the Soul Spirit Ball.
Before long, both Soul Spirit Ball changed, emitting a strong light, and then two red Soul Ring slowly appeared.
Then, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling began absorbing their Sixth Soul Ring.
Chapter 295 Gong Lan: When I become a god, I'll take care of you.
After watching over Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling for nearly two hours, and seeing that their condition had stabilized, Gong Yu finally went to climb the stone steps after school.
He began to circulate his Soul Power and slowly climb upwards.
Golden mist filled the surroundings, and as he climbed upwards, the pressure gradually increased. The Quanzhen Great Dao Song within Gong Yu's body also began to operate at an accelerated pace, so in no time, he reached the twentieth step.
Gong Lan and the other girls were also climbing upwards, but they had arrived two hours earlier, so they were already sitting cross-legged on the fiftieth step. Climbing to the fiftieth step in one go was their limit, and they could not continue to go any higher. They could only adapt for the time being.
However, there was an even more impressive one, Liu Erlong. As a Soul Douluo, she climbed to level sixty in one go. Since it was her first attempt, she didn't continue to climb to ensure stability, so she sat down and cultivated at the level sixty.
Having learned from his previous attempt two hours earlier, Gong Yu was smarter this time.
Starting from the twentieth step, he internally circulated the Quanzhen Great Dao Song and externally circulated the Dragon Elephant Prajna. Sure enough, under the effect of the two major techniques, the pressure was greatly reduced. The process of climbing from the twentieth to the thirtieth step required almost no effort and was very fast. As a result, the consumption of Soul Power was greatly reduced.
Looking up at Gong Lan and the others sitting cross-legged on the fiftieth step, he realized that Gong Qianqian, Gong Niuniu, and Gong Xiao had already adapted to the pressure there and had begun to climb upwards.
Upon reaching the fifty-first step, the three seemed to feel the pressure increase again, so they sat down cross-legged once more and began cultivating again.
Gong Yu immediately composed himself and quickened his pace, soon arriving at the thirtieth step.
However, he did not stop there, but continued to climb. Before he knew it, he had reached the fortieth step.
Reaching the fortieth step didn't pose much of a challenge for Gong Yu. After all, he was also Soul Douluo, and his Dragon Elephant Prajna had already reached the ninth level. He was far stronger than Liu Erlong. If Liu Erlong could reach the sixtieth step in one go, there was no way he couldn't do it too.
Continuing to climb, Gong Yu reached the fiftieth step in one go and finally caught up with Gong Lan and the others.
Sensing Gong Yu's presence, Gong Lan, who was cultivating, slowly opened her eyes, a gentle smile appearing on her lips. She wanted to say something, but Gong Yu spoke first.
"Don't push yourself too hard. Make sure you don't get bounced back into the Ring Sea by the Sea God's Light. There are Sea Soul Beast in the Ring Sea, and we don't know if they will attack people." Gong Yu was just saying this casually. He actually knew that even if everyone fell into the Ring Sea, they wouldn't be attacked by Sea Soul Beast because everyone was protected by light after accepting the Sea God's test.
"Yes, I'll be careful." Gong Lan nodded, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart because of her relationship with Gong Yu.
Gong Yu spoke again, "Then you guys continue to adapt here. Once you feel ready, continue upwards. I'll start climbing now."
Gong Lan looked at Gong Yu, her eyes filled with love. She smiled faintly and said, "Then don't push yourself too hard. Anyway, I'm here for you now. I'll definitely get the Sea God's position. Once I become a god, I'll take care of you!"
Hearing Gong Lan's words, Gong Yu chuckled and then laughed loudly, "Lan'er wants me to be a kept man? I don't mind. After all, being able to be a kept man is a skill in itself. If your man really reaches the end of his rope in the future, then it's not too late to be a kept man then. Alright, I'm going upstairs now!"
Gong Yu gently stroked Gong Lan's face, then continued climbing, reaching the sixtieth step in one go, finally catching up with Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong naturally sensed Gong Yu's arrival, so she opened her eyes from her cultivation and even pouted her lips arrogantly. It was clear that although there was pressure on the sixtieth step, it was still relatively easy for her.
"You should continue upwards. The pressure here isn't high enough for you, and the effects of your cultivation aren't obvious," Gong Yu reminded Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong pursed his lips and said, "I know. I stopped here just to save face for them, so I didn't want to leave them too far behind."
Gong Yu smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. Lan'er and the others won't care about these things. On the contrary, what you're doing is a waste of unnecessary time. You'd be better off climbing higher and cultivating on a suitable level."
"Alright, then I'll continue upwards." Liu Erlong sighed. It's no wonder she didn't understand Gong Lan and the others' personalities. After all, she had been living in her small thatched hut in the academy all these years and hadn't moved to Gong Yu's manor to live with everyone. So, apart from Gong Yu, she didn't know the others very well.
"Okay, let's Bibi!" Gong Yu pouted, her eyes filled with provocation.
The mention of a competition immediately ignited Liu Erlong's competitive spirit, and she promptly scoffed, "Let's compete! Who's afraid of who? We're not even sure who can climb higher!"
And so, the two continued climbing.
About half an hour later, Gong Yu and Liu Erlong reached the eightieth step. By then, Liu Erlong's body had begun to sway; the pressure here was indeed quite strong for her.
However, after she regained her balance, a hint of joy appeared on her face.
Gong Yu also sensed the changes in Liu Erlong's body, or more precisely, the changes in her aura.
Looking at Liu Erlong's aura, there was a sense of disorder, but it wasn't the kind of instability caused by her hands; in fact, her aura was expanding.
"Congratulations! You've leveled up. Quickly sit down and stabilize your cultivation." Gong Yu smiled slightly, but there was no jealousy in his eyes. As one of his women, Liu Erlong's level increase was something he was overjoyed about!
The cultivation of Soul Power becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. Half a year has passed since Liu Erlong advanced to level 81, and her Soul Power has reached the peak of level 81. Originally, she would have been able to advance to level 82 in another month or two, but today, due to the pressure brought by the Sea God's Light, she advanced ahead of schedule!
"Hmm." Liu Erlong nodded, then immediately sat down cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state.
Gong Yu glanced at Liu Erlong again with a smile, but showed no intention of lingering. Although this was the eightieth step, the pressure wasn't enough for him, so he had to continue upwards.
As he climbed upwards, Gong Yu simultaneously checked his level: level 83. He was almost there to advance to level 84. If his senses were correct, he would level up in the next few days. However, reaching Level 90 would still be a huge undertaking.
Chapter 296 Xue Qinghe's Identity Exposed
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and now Gong Yu was sitting cross-legged on the 201st step.
Unlike the others, Gong Yu only had one test, the Purple-Level One Trial, but the content of the test was somewhat surprising. He also had to Crossing the Sea God's Light, but he had to climb to the top of the steps.
The stone steps of Sea God Mountain have a total of 1,001 steps, making it a massive undertaking.
Click click... click click click!
Gong Yu felt a series of sounds coming from within his body. Suddenly, a powerful aura surged from his body. The next moment, the barrier between his Soul Power levels 83 and 84 was broken, and his Soul Power finally broke through to level 84.
"Six levels away from Level 90, I still need to work harder!" With a slight sigh, Gong Yu glanced down at the girls who had fallen far behind him.
At this moment, the person closest to him was naturally Liu Erlong, but there were still eighty steps between them.
As for the others, Gong Niuniu and Gong Qianqian stopped at the eightieth step, and Gong Xiao stopped one step behind them.
The remaining girls, Gong Lan, Gong Yue, Gong Xi'er, Gong Miaomiao, and Gong Xue, remained at the seventy-fifth step.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling, who were at the very back, were sitting cross-legged on the sixty-third step. After absorbing the Soul Spirit last time, they finally advanced to the Soul Emperor, but even so, the enemy was still too weak, so climbing to the sixty-third step was already a struggle.
Coming to his senses, Gong Yu felt that his aura was still somewhat unstable, so he began to consolidate his newly advanced realm.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the pressure of the Sea God's Light, everyone's cultivation speed was several times faster than usual, so everyone gained something. Gong Yu's level also increased by one level, reaching level 85. At this moment, the steps he was on had reached the 431st step.
The reason why Gong Yu was able to reach more than 400 levels so quickly is mainly because he not only activated his Soul Power to the fullest, but also activated all his domains. With the assistance of various domains, he was able to progress so quickly.
The others weren't so lucky; they were all still hovering around the hundred-plus steps, and some, like Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling, hadn't even reached the eighty-plus steps yet.
Time passed slowly as Gong Yu and his group continued to climb the stone steps, and five months went by in the blink of an eye.
Over the course of five months, Gong Yu climbed higher and higher steps, adding about two hundred steps each month. For every two hundred steps added, his Soul Power Level would increase by one level.
His Soul Power increased so rapidly that it was no exaggeration to say it was incredibly fast. Keep in mind that he is now Soul Douluo, and the higher the Soul Power Level, the more difficult it is to level up. For some people, it takes several years or even more than ten years to level up.
Gong Yu improves herself almost every month, so you can imagine how much the Sea God's Light helps her.
However, such rapid leveling up does not mean that his Soul Power is weak, because the pressure of the Sea God's Light not only increases his cultivation speed, but also compresses his Soul Power.
Compressing Soul Power is equivalent to purifying the Soul Power within the body. After several months of purification, Gong Yu's Soul Power not only did not appear weak, but was also very stable. Therefore, he did not need to worry that leveling up too quickly would affect his foundation.
Looking up ahead, he was still five steps away from the 1001st step, which was the most difficult time. However, he was lucky; a few days ago, he had already raised his Soul Power to Level 90.
Since Gong Yu only participated in the Purple-level assessment, he did not receive the God-Given Soul Ring reward when his Soul Power reached Level 90.
After reaching Level 90 in Soul Power, Gong Yu was no longer in a hurry to cultivate Soul Power, but instead began to improve his Dragon Elephant Prajna.
His Dragon Elephant Prajna has now reached the ninth level of perfection, and he is only one step away from advancing to the tenth level.
The surrounding divine energy was extremely dense, and Gong Yu thought he should use it to advance his cultivation technique.
Once Gong Yu advances the Dragon Elephant Prajna to the tenth level, Gong Yu physical strength will reach the God Level- level. Originally, he wasn't in a hurry to improve his physical strength, but thinking about his Ninth Soul Ring, he decided to hunt down the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was too powerful. Gong Yu could guarantee that his Spiritual Power was enough to resist the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul impact, but he could not guarantee that his body could withstand the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's massive Soul Power impact.
Therefore, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Gong Yu had to find a way to improve his physical strength first.
While Gong Yu was quietly working to improve his physical strength, Tang San, far away in Heaven Dou City, was not disappointed. After half a year, with the help of Tang Yuehua, the master of the Moonlight Pavilion, he finally gained complete control over his killing intent.
If Gong Yu were in the Moonlight Pavilion right now, she would definitely be astonished.
It's worth noting that in the original timeline, it took Tang San a year to master his killing intent, while in the present world, he only took half a year, which is unusually fast.
Tonight, the students of the Moonlight Pavilion School are celebrating their graduation.
As in the original historical trajectory, Tang San was chosen as the representative to perform on stage.
However, because Tang San's appearance was ruined and he became ugly, he could only wear a mask when he went on stage. Fortunately, the lower half of his face was intact, so the mask he wore only covered the upper half of his face.
With the mask on, Tang San's lower face was revealed, which was quite handsome, with a pointed chin that made him look rather dashing.
At that moment, amidst the applause of the crowd, Tang San strode confidently onto the stage.
Yes, his gait was flamboyant. A man walking with an effeminate gait, pigeon-toed, practically a second-rate Chrysanthemum Guan. It was disgusting to look at, yet he thought he was very elegant, unaware that the men below were already gagging.
As soon as Tang San stepped onto the stage, he felt a strange throbbing within him.
"What exactly is that throbbing sensation?" Tang San asked himself silently.
The next moment, he heard Rakshasa's voice transmitted in his sea of consciousness. "As the inheritor of this god, your body will only automatically issue a warning when you encounter a natural enemy!"
"Natural enemy?" Tang San was puzzled, so he asked Rakshasa Divine Sense in his mind.
"That's right, her natural enemy," Rakshasa Divine Sense responded. "About ten meters directly ahead, the person sitting on the platform is the successor of this generation's Angel God, and thus Rakshasa's natural enemy."
Tang San looked up and realized that the person referred to in the Rakshasa God was not someone he had seen before, but Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. He was immediately stunned and said, "How is that possible? That's the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire! The Heaven Dou Imperial Family inherits the Swan Martial Soul, yet he's clearly going to inherit the position of the Angel God?"
Rakshasa Divine Sense said irritably, "Idiot, what prince? She's a woman, and she inherited the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. I've fought the Angel God for tens of thousands of years. Even if she were reduced to ashes, I could still smell her. There's absolutely no mistake."
Chapter 297 Tang San's Suspicion
"A woman?" Tang San fell into deep thought after hearing Rakshasa Divine Sense's words. "The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire is actually a woman. It's absurd. It seems I'll have to find a way to investigate this. If things go well, it might be a good thing for me."
Tang San wasn't stupid. Knowing this was equivalent to having a handle on Xue Qinghe, which meant there were many potential benefits to be gained.
Besides, with this as leverage, even if we can't control Xue Qinghe, we can simply use this incident to remove him from the position of Xue Qinghe and install someone else in his place.
"Xue Qinghe is indeed difficult to control, while someone like Xue Beng is much easier to control. So, Xue Qinghe, don't blame me for being cruel. Besides, you're just a woman. What use would it be if you became emperor?" Tang San secretly planned in his heart.
Tang San could actually use Xue Qinghe to rise to power and then use her as a breeding machine, so that his offspring would become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
But then he thought, he's going to become a god in the future, so why would he care about the throne of a mortal empire? Besides, he only loves Xiao Wu, so how could he have a child with another woman? So he finally decided to pull Xue Qinghe down and support Xue Beng up instead.
