Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III, Dedicated to Tripping Up Tang San

If converted to Spiritual Power levels, then Gong Yue's Spiritual Power has already reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, and she can reach the Spirit Abyss Realm with one more step.

As darkness fell, the group stayed overnight near the Blue Silver Forest.

The night passed quickly.

In the early morning, after eating some dry rations, everyone left the Blue Silver Forest and headed into the Star Dou Great Forest once again.

Now, Gong Lan, Gong Yue, Gong Xue, and Oscar have all obtained their Soul Ring. Only Gong Yu, Gong Xiao, Gong Qianqian, Gong Xi'er, Gong Niuniu, and Gong Miaomiao have not yet obtained their Soul Ring.

There are six Soul Ring missing. Among them, the Soul Ring for Gong Yu and Gong Xiao were already reserved, namely the Soul Ring for the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Before coming, Gong Yu had already made a plan; if she was lucky, she might be able to snag a bargain.

As the group continued their journey, shortly after entering the mixed zone and approaching the core area, they discovered a 30,000-year-old Demonic Eye Illusion Marten, which was perfect for Gong Xi'er.

Gong Xi'er's Fourth Soul Ring has a lifespan of 15,000 years, so absorbing a 30,000-year Fifth Soul Ring is not a problem at all.

It took Gong Xi'er two hours to successfully absorb the Soul Ring of the Demonic Eye Illusion Marten, gaining a Soul Skill that would send chills down one's spine.

Her fifth Soul Skill creates an illusion with her Martial Soul, where countless eyes appear. These densely packed eyes blink rapidly, enough to frighten many people. If one were to look directly into those eyes, it would amplify the fear in one's heart infinitely.

Furthermore, within her illusion, when she uses her fifth Soul Skill, the strange fragrance emitted by her Martial Soul carries the poison of the Demonic Eye Illusion Marten. Under extreme fear, coupled with the attack of this poison, few people could withstand it.

After Gong Xi'er absorbed the Soul Ring, everyone continued on their way.

After that, it took another half day to find a Golden Edge Mantis that was about 28,000 years old for Gong Miaomiao. This was a Soul Beast with the attributes of light and metal, and it was extremely aggressive.

Gong Miaomiao successfully absorbed the Golden Edge Mantis's Soul Ring. However, after she finished absorbing the Soul Ring, another day passed, and everyone found a suitable place to camp.

Currently, only the Soul Ring for Gong Yu, Gong Xiao, Gong Qianqian, and Gong Niuniu are missing.

Another night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, everyone proceeded as needed and soon entered the core area.

The Star Dou Great Forest is divided into the peripheral zone, the outer circle, the mixed circle, the Core Circle, and the Great Ferocious Land.

In this era, virtually no one has ventured into the extremely Great Ferocious Land. Even the Titled Douluo who entered the core area, as recorded in the Spirit Hall's records, did not enter the Great Ferocious Land.

That Titled Douluo only entered the center of the core area, to the Mirror Lake where the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python resided. He didn't even reach the Lake of Life before being scared away by the Sky Azure Bull Python.

So his claim of reaching the center of the Star Dou Great Forest was merely his own perception; if he had actually reached the true center, he would probably have been killed by Di Tian and the others long ago.

In the core area, they soon encountered a Golden Blaze Roc that was about 50,000 years old. It was a roc with golden flames, and the intensity of the flames was very strong. If it were 100,000 years old, the intensity of its flames would not be inferior to the Ultimate Fire.

Golden Blaze Roc is quite suitable for Gong Niuniu, but his age is a bit too high, and Gong Yu is worried that she can't handle it.

However, Gong Niuniu ultimately chose this Soul Beast. However, Niuniu's Fourth Soul Ring was already over 20,000 years old. Logically, the age of her Fifth Soul Ring should roughly double that of her fourth, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Therefore, Gong Yu finally agreed to let Gong Niuniu try to absorb the Golden Blaze Roc's Soul Ring. Moreover, Gong Niuniu's Ten-Colored Amethyst Lamp could automatically protect its master, which reduced Gong Yu's worries somewhat.

Chapter 125 The Chasing of Da Ming and Er Ming

Gong Niuniu's absorption of the Golden Blaze Roc's Soul Ring was not as smooth as everyone thought; in fact, she encountered the same situation that Gong Qianqian faced when she absorbed her First Soul Ring.

However, just when Niuniu was about to give up, the master function of the Ten-Colored Amethyst Lamp was activated again on its own, and she successfully absorbed it in the end.

"Hmph... See? This is the consequence of disobeying. You've learned your lesson this time!" After Gong Niuniu absorbed the Golden Blaze Roc's Soul Ring, Gong Yu went over and took out a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains off her face.

When Gong Niuniu reached the most difficult stage of absorbing the Soul Ring, she started bleeding from all seven orifices, which worried everyone to death.

"I know I was wrong, young master. I will definitely be obedient from now on!" Gong Niuniu playfully stuck out her tongue. How could she be obedient? If she encountered Soul Ring that was too old and suitable for her in the future, she would definitely ignore everyone's advice and insist on absorbing it.

She has a strong personality, a bit of tenacity, and a stubborn streak; once she feels something is right for her, she will never let it go.

"I hope so, but I don't expect you to actually listen." Gong Yu smiled faintly, but his hands didn't stop, continuing to wipe the bloodstains from Niuniu's face.

This was the first time Gong Yu had treated her so intimately. Gong Niuniu felt her face burning and her heart pounding. She had forgotten how to speak and just quietly let Gong Yu wipe her face.

Gong Niuniu's Soul Ring has been solved, but it took her a very long time to absorb Soul Ring this time. It started yesterday and is now the morning of the second day, taking almost a day and a night.

Everyone was worried about Gong Niuniu's condition, so they hadn't rested all night. Therefore, Gong Yu let everyone rest for half a day before setting off.

Around noon, everyone had lunch.

After lunch, we planned to continue our journey, but just before we set off, two powerful auras came toward us. Although they were still quite far apart, everyone could feel their immense power.

"One of the auras feels familiar, it seems to be the aura of the Titan Giant Ape." Gong Yu spoke first, then looked at Zi JI and Bi Ji, who nodded as well.

Gong Yu was immediately excited. Since there were two auras, one of which was the Titan Giant Ape, then the other aura, which was even stronger Titan Giant Ape, must be the Sky Azure Bull Python.

"They've finally arrived." After a sigh of relief, Gong Yu looked at Liu Erlong and said, "Erlong, you take Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing and leave first. Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are heading this way, followed by a large group of people, who seem to be from the Spirit Hall, so it's not safe here."

"Are you telling me to desert my post?" Liu Erlong said somewhat displeased upon hearing this. "And how do you know there are people from the Spirit Hall following behind?"

Gong Yu said, "What desertion? I was worried that Sisters Zi JI and Bi Ji wouldn't be able to take care of so many people. You take Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing first. I trust you can protect them. You just wait for us outside for a few days."

He didn't explain how he knew the Spirit Hall was following behind, but he knew the reason.

Because it was he who leaked the information from beginning to end, letting Bibi Dong know the location of the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; everything was part of his plan.

Liu Erlong frowned, glancing at Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing. The two little ones were too low-level and were indeed a burden. If they were caught in the crossfire, they would likely die.

She had no choice at the moment, so she simply nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, then I'll take Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing and leave first. We'll linger outside for a few days until you come out."

Gong Yu nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't worry, we'll be fine."

Afterwards, Liu Erlong left with Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

After Liu Erlong left, Gong Yu had Gong Lan observe the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast using the Blue Silver Perspective, and also check where the people from the Spirit Hall were.

A short while later, Gong Lan ended her Blue Silver Perspective and said to Gong Yu, "Young Master, the Spirit Hall people are about three to five miles away from the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. However, the two Soul Beast seem to be poisoned and probably won't last much longer."

"Highly poisonous?" Gong Yu smiled thoughtfully. "A poison that even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast couldn't withstand for long... If she were here, even Sister Bi Ji probably couldn't cure her."

Hearing Gong Yu's words, Bi Ji was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Whose poison is so potent?"

"Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall," Gong Yu said slowly. "Bibi Dong possesses Twin Martial Souls, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, with Soul Power level of 99. She is also the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, but due to undergoing the Rakshasa God Trial, she can only exert the strength of level 98."

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji nodded and admitted, "If she has reached that level, then I might not be able to cure her spider venom, but alleviating it should be no problem. We'll have to try it to make a comparison."

After Bi Ji finished speaking, Gong Lan said with a charming smile, "Young Master's analysis is indeed accurate. Among the group from the Spirit Hall, the Pope is indeed among them, along with two other Titled Douluo."

Upon hearing that there were two more Titled Douluo, Gong Yu's expression tightened, and he asked, "Are those two Titled Douluo either effeminate or elusive like Gui Mei?"

"Yes." Gong Lan said solemnly. Looking into Gong Yu's eyes, she probably guessed that the two Titled Douluo were Gong Yu's enemies.

"Forget it, I'll spare their lives this time. I'll kill them when they're alone next time." Gong Yu sighed, forcibly suppressing the hatred in his heart. Now was not the right time to deal with Chrysanthemum Guan and Gui Mei.

Gong Yu looked at Gong Lan and asked, "Lan'er, can you use the Blue Silver Domain to send a message to those two Soul Beast?"

"Yes, that's fine." Gong Lan nodded. After the Blue Silver Domain evolved again, she had discovered many wonderful uses, one of which was exactly what Gong Yu was mentioning now.

Having received Gong Lan's affirmative answer, Gong Yu said, "Alright, then use the Blue Silver Domain to send them a message, directing them to our location. If they don't believe you, just say you know Xiao Wu, and they will believe you."

"Furthermore, you manipulated the plants to redirect the tracks of the two Soul Beast in another direction, in order to confuse the Spirit Hall's people from tracking them."

"Yes, young master." Gong Lan nodded again, and then, following Gong Yu's method, began to guide the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast toward this side.

About half an hour later, Gong Lan finally lured the two Soul Beast over.

At the same time, she successfully disrupted the tracking route of the Spirit Hall people, but this ability probably won't be hidden for long before Bibi Dong discovers something is wrong.

But for Gong Yu, as long as he could deceive them for a while, that was enough, because he still had a backup plan.

Chapter 126 Plum Tree Sacrifices Itself for the Peach Tree

When they arrived at Gong Yu and the others' side, Da Ming and Er Ming were already on the verge of death. The two of them were on the verge of death because the poison had entered their hearts.

"Did you lead us here?" The Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming glanced at Luo Han and the others, finally fixing his gaze on Gong Lan.

"Yes." Gong Lan nodded. Although the two Soul Beast were huge and looked ferocious, she was not afraid at all.

"Do you know Xiao Wu?" Da Ming asked again.

This time, Gong Lan shook her head. Although she had met Xiao Wu, she couldn't say she knew Xiao Wu, and she had never even interacted with Xiao Wu.

At this moment, Gong Yu spoke up, "She doesn't know Xiao Wu, but I Xiao Wu. We were classmates at the same academy, and I even know that Xiao Wu is a transformed Soul Beast."

Upon hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming were both shocked. Their first thought was that Xiao Wu was in danger, "What did you do to Xiao Wu?"

Gong Yu smiled faintly and said, "I didn't do anything to Xiao Wu, and I didn't even reveal her secret. It's clear that I have no designs on her. She was the one who told me about your existence."

Hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming were somewhat relieved, because Xiao Wu was indeed alright. If something had really happened to Xiao Wu, they would have sensed it to some extent.

"Enough with the nonsense, I'll lure the Spirit Hall people away first, and then I'll try to save you." Gong Yu said slowly, but the so-called rescue was just talk. These two were already beyond saving because the poison had entered their hearts. Besides, even if they could be saved, Gong Yu wouldn't.

Gong Yu added, "I need a drop of blood from each of you."

"What do you want our blood for?" Da Ming was a little confused, and Er Ming, being a simple-minded person, was even less able to understand what Gong Yu wanted to do.

"I need your blood to lure away the people from the Spirit Hall," Gong Yu explained.

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then each pricked their fingers, causing Liang Di's blood to condense and fly to Gong Yu's side.

"Very good." Gong Yu took the two drops of blood, then walked to the side and activated his Martial Soul.

As his Martial Soul unfolded, five Soul Ring— purple, black, black, and red—pulsated out from beneath Gong Yu's feet, causing everyone present, except for Gong Lan, to gasp in astonishment.

Apart from Gong Lan, no one else was seeing Gong Yu's Fifth Soul Ring for the first time. None of them expected that his Fifth Soul Ring would be Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The two Soul Beast were shocked when they saw Gong Yu's Soul Ring configuration, but neither of them made a sound.

Immediately afterward, Yu's Fifth Soul Ring flashed, and he flicked two fingers, sending Da Ming and Er Ming's blood onto the Soul Ring. At the same time, he uttered a soft shout, "Fifth Soul Skill, Plum Tree Sacrifices Itself for the Peach Tree."

The next instant, two beams of light swept up the two drops of blood and landed on the ground not far away. Then, the two drops of blood shone brightly with golden light, and finally, the figures of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python gradually condensed within the golden light.

Da Ming and Er Ming stared wide-eyed at everything, completely stunned.

All the women were the same; some even unconsciously swallowed.

"How... how did you do that?" After regaining his senses, Da Ming asked Gong Yu.

Gong Yu said, "That's my Soul Skill, Plum Tree Sacrifices Itself for the Peach Tree, a level of disguise that's so realistic it'll fool everyone. It uses your blood to create substitutes for you, each containing your full power in a single strike. But it's only one strike. Using them to distract the Spirit Hall shouldn't be a problem."

He then gave orders to the two bionic Soul Beast to lure the Spirit Hall people away in another direction.

"But that's not enough, we need to add another layer of protection." With that, Gong Yu took out Tang Hao's frozen arm from the Soul Tool and extracted a drop of blood from it.

He recreated that drop of blood, and then Tang Hao appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Go, find the people from the Spirit Hall, and then self-destruct among them." Gong Yu gave the order to the android Tang Hao, sending him to be a human bomb.

Everyone was taken aback, feeling that this method seemed quite good.

"Alright, it's time to talk about your business. How do you plan to cure your poison?" After completing all the operations, Gong Yu looked at Da Ming and Er Ming again, while simultaneously circulating his internal energy to regulate his breathing. He had previously used his fifth Soul Skill twice.

Using his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill twice directly consumed 80% of his Soul Power.

"The poison has reached our hearts; there's no saving us," Da Ming said.

"Since they're beyond saving, then you two can sacrifice yourselves for us!" Gong Yu was quite direct. In any case, even if those two didn't sacrifice themselves, he would still kill them to obtain their Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

"You lured my brother and me here just for my Soul Ring, didn't you?" Da Ming said slowly.

Gong Yu nodded in agreement, saying, "We were just here to hunt for Soul Ring, and it was a coincidence that we encountered you. But since you're all beyond saving, it's better to sacrifice yourselves to us than to die like this. Besides, your souls will be preserved after the sacrifice, and it's not impossible for you to be resurrected in the future."

Hearing Gong Yu's words, both Da Ming and Er Ming fell into deep thought. Er Ming was somewhat tempted, so he asked, "Are you sure you'll resurrect us in the future?"

"Yes." Gong Yu answered without hesitation, but it was impossible to revive them. To think they could be resurrected after they were dead was just wishful thinking.

Then Gong Yu added, "What are you thinking? Make a decision quickly, or it will be troublesome if the Spirit Hall people find out something is wrong and come after us."

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged another glance. Although they still didn't believe Gong Yu was trustworthy, they seemed to have no other choice at the moment. Since they were doomed anyway, they might as well take a gamble. Perhaps the hope Gong Yu offered was slim, but at least it gave them a glimmer of hope.

"But it seems you can only absorb one Soul Ring right now!" Da Ming looked at Gong Yu, having already sensed that his Soul Power had only reached the bottleneck of level 60.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu beckoned to Gong Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, come here, the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring is yours."

Gong Xiao was taken aback. She hadn't expected that her Fifth Soul Ring would be a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Then she walked over.

"Alright, now your Soul Ring won't go to waste, so whatever you want to do, do it quickly." Gong Yu urged Da Ming Er Ming again.

"Alas... what a pity. If only I could see Xiao Wu one more time." Da Ming had already made the decision to sacrifice itself, so it sighed, which could be considered its final regret.

Both of them liked Xiao Wu, so after Da Ming finished sighing, Er Ming also sighed.

But Gong Yu laughed and said, "At least Da Ming is single, so it's fine for him to sigh. But Er Ming, you have a family and children, what are you sighing about? Are you thinking of cheating on me?"

"Nonsense, when did I have a family and children?" Er Ming's lips twitched, somewhat confused as to why Gong Yu would say such a thing.

Gong Yu smiled faintly and said, "Hehe... How could you not have descendants? Your son's name is Yuanen Sitai, and he's still alive."
