Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, Exclusively Trapping Tang San

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, clearly tempted. They were not far from the next Heavenly Tribulation, but neither of them had the confidence to overcome it. However, if they could get Gong Qianqian's help, they might be able to get through it smoothly.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that their next Heavenly Tribulation would never come again. When they became Soul Ring and were resurrected, they would already be gods, so there would be no need for them to undergo any Heavenly Tribulation.

"Are you two sisters willing?" Gong Qianqian asked again.

"Okay, we agree." Snow Empress nodded, and Ice Empress beside her did the same.

Gong Qianqian smiled and said, "That's great, thank you both."

Gong Yu also revealed a smug smile. The Snow Empress had agreed. If the Snow Empress was willing to make Soul Ring in the future, then the Ice Bear King Xiaobai would naturally not be able to escape it either.

Chapter 134 The Icefield Wolf Emperor

After dealing with Ice Empress and Snow Empress, there's no need to worry about safety when hunting for Soul Ring in this Far North.

At that moment, Gong Yu spoke up, "Sisters, I need to help Qianqian obtain her Fifth Soul Ring. I know it's not good to talk about hunting Soul Beast in front of you, but Qianqian really needs a Soul Ring. So, do you two have any recommendations?"

Upon hearing Gong Yu's words, both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress's expressions stiffened. It was one thing for you to hunt Soul Beast, but to insist on their recommendations was clearly an attempt to stab them in the heart.

However, upon considering Gong Qianqian's identity, their expressions immediately softened considerably.

Seeing that the Ice Empress and Snow Empress weren't angry because of Qianqian, Gong Yu pressed his advantage, saying, "Sisters, actually, I wanted to ask if there are any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or anything like that in the Far North..."

But before Gong Yu could finish speaking, the hot-tempered Ice Empress couldn't stand it anymore. She even interrupted him angrily, saying, "I didn't say anything when you said you wanted to hunt Soul Beast in front of us, and I didn't mind if you asked us to make recommendations."

But it's going too far for you to hunt down 100,000 Soul Beast now. Do you really think it's so easy for Soul Beast to cultivate for 100,000 years?"

Seeing the angry look on Ice Empress's face, Gong Yu calmly said, "Sister Bing'er, you're too impatient. You won't even let me finish speaking. Can you please calm down and listen patiently to what I have to say? I guarantee that you won't be angry anymore after you hear it."

Hearing Gong Yu's words, Snow Empress pressed Ice Empress down and said, "Bing'er, calm down and listen to what he has to say."

"Fine, I'd like to hear what nonsense you have to spout." After being pressed down by the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress said, barely suppressing her anger.

Gong Yu smiled slightly and said, "That's how it is. Since Qianqian has inherited the divine power, it's inevitable that she will become a god in the future. If a Soul Beast is willing to sacrifice itself for her, when Qianqian becomes a god, she can bring the Soul Beast that sacrificed itself for her with her to achieve an immortal divine soul."

In other words, if the Soul Beast is preserved, it can become a priest under Qianqian after Qianqian becomes a god. Although a priest is not a very high-ranking god, it is still a deity.

So I'd like to ask, in your Far North, are there any Soul Beast nearing the end of their lifespan, or those that feel unable to survive the next Heavenly Tribulation? If so, you might consider sacrificing them for Qianqian. That way, she can avoid the Heavenly Tribulation and even become a god in the future—a win-win situation."

Hearing this, both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress were somewhat moved. The Ice Empress blushed, feeling embarrassed for misunderstanding Gong Yu, but there was no way she would admit her mistake and apologize.

A faint smile appeared on Gong Yu's lips. He had no intention of asking Ice Empress for an apology. As proud Ice Empress, how could he possibly apologize to anyone?

Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance, as if they understood each other's thoughts. As expected of "good sisters," they both thought about their next Heavenly Tribulation, and neither of them had the confidence to overcome it.

Hearing Gong Yu's explanation, both of them were tempted, but they didn't dare to try it themselves. After all, although they had heard of such things, they had never witnessed them firsthand, so they were still somewhat skeptical.

However, just because they dare not try it doesn't mean other Soul Beast can't try it.

So the Snow Empress said, "There is an Icefield Wolf Emperor in the west. Although it survived its first Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation also caused it indelible damage, so its lifespan is not long. I estimate it has about another ten or twenty years left. I can persuade it to sacrifice itself for Qianqian."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu and Gong Qianqian's eyes lit up; it seemed there was hope.

Gong Qianqian said excitedly, "If we can really get that Icefield Wolf Emperor to sacrifice itself, that would be wonderful! You two sisters can rest assured, I mean what I say. When I become a god in the future, I will definitely help it along. So, I'll have to trouble Sister Snow Maiden to help it."

"Okay, I'll be right back." Snow Empress nodded, then turned and headed west.

About half an hour later, the Snow Empress returned with a huge Icefield Wolf Emperor.

The Icefield Wolf Emperor transformed directly into a werewolf. Soul Beast with a cultivation of 100,000 years can briefly transform into human form without taking human form. However, the Icefield Wolf Soul Beast a special case; it can transform into a werewolf.

Arriving beside Gong Yu and Gong Qianqian, the Icefield Wolf Emperor asked the Snow Empress, "Are these the two of them? Which one is the successor of the Ice God?"

Snow Empress said, "It's the girl over there."

The Icefield Wolf Emperor nodded, then looked at Gong Qianqian and said, "I can offer myself to you, but you must first prove to me that you are the successor of the Ice God."

Gong Qianqian nodded, having nothing more to say, and took out the Ice God Pearl again. Before long, the Icefield Wolf Emperor was so intimidated that it became subdued.

The Icefield Wolf Emperor immediately yielded, saying, "Alright, I believe you. I'm willing to sacrifice myself for you."

Upon hearing this, Gong Qianqian put away the Ice God Pearl again and smiled, "Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself, I will not treat you unfairly in the future. Rest assured, after I become a god, I will help you become a god as well."

"Thank you, Goddess!" the Icefield Wolf Emperor said respectfully.

"It's alright. Since you're willing to offer a sacrifice, I should be thanking you," Gong Qianqian said calmly. "Then let me adjust my condition first. Once I'm in good shape, you can begin the sacrifice. In the meantime, you can also return to your clan to explain some things."

Next, Gong Qianqian sat down cross-legged and began to adjust her state.

About an hour later, everything was ready, and the sacrifice of the Icefield Wolf Emperor finally began.

The sacrificial ceremony went very smoothly, taking two hours in total, and finally came to an end.

The Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, gave Qianqian a four-level increase in Soul Power. It should have been able to increase her spirit power even more, but because the Soul Ring was sealed with several layers of seals, the increase in Soul Power brought by the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring could not be fully realized.

Qianqian's Fourth Soul Ring has a lifespan of 20,000 years, but she can only withstand about 50,000 years of soul pressure at present, so adding a seal is inevitable.

After Gong Qianqian obtained her Fifth Soul Ring, her trip to the Far North came to an end.

Gong Yu then said to the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, "Sisters, is there anything you need to inform the clan about? If not, then we shall set off."

Both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress nodded, and then the Ice Empress went directly back to the territory of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to give some instructions.

Snow Empress didn't have much to explain, but she had a godson Ice Bear King Xiaobai, so she went to Xiao Bai to explain some things.

When Ice Empress and Snow Empress returned, Ice Empress came back alone, but Snow Empress brought a large polar bear with her, the very same Ice Bear King Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai had heard that the Snow Empress was going to exchange vows with the successor of the Ice God, so she also wanted to join in.

After hearing Snow Empress's story, Gong Qianqian naturally did not object. She then consulted Gong Yu's opinion, and Gong Yu certainly would not object. Moreover, knowing that Xiao Bai wanted to come along, he was secretly delighted.

Chapter 135 Oscar's Anxiety and Indecision

The fact that Snow Empress would bring Xiao Bai along speaks volumes about her thoughts.

She wanted to make a sacrifice, and she had already told Xiao Bai about her idea, which is why Xiao Bai came along.

Although Xiao Bai is Soul Beast, it is devoted to its mother. Since its mother is going to sacrifice herself, Xiao Bai naturally wants to go with her. It is truly a filial little Ice Bear.

He immediately transformed into human form. Xiao Bai has now reached the level of a 290,000-year-old Ferocious Beast, so transforming into human form temporarily is no problem. In order to appear like Snow Empress's child, Xiao Bai transformed into a chubby teenager.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gong Yu said, "Everyone, come closer to me. I'll take you away. However, we need to leave to the human world, so you two sisters and Xiao Bai, don't reveal your Soul Beast auras carelessly, or it might cause a disturbance."

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? I don't believe anyone among us can defeat us." Ice Empress's face was full of contempt, clearly not taking Gong Yu's words seriously.

Gong Yu shook his head and smiled wryly, "There are indeed those who can defeat you. They come from the inheritance sites of the three great deities, and they are all messengers of the deities."

Hearing Gong Yu say this, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress were also somewhat surprised. Then the Snow Empress asked, "Then tell us who we shouldn't mess with, so we can avoid accidentally provoking them later."

"Alright, then I'll start by talking." Gong Yu nodded and said, "The three forces are Sea God Island, Spirit Hall, and Slaughter City. We don't need to worry about Sea God Island. They live on a small island in the ocean, guarding the legacy of the Sea God, and rarely come to the mainland."

The Spirit Hall protects the legacy of the Angel God, but it also hides the legacy of the Rakshasa God. The Spirit Hall Slaughter City hand, protects the legacy of the Asura God.

All three factions have level 99 limit experts, especially the Spirit Hall, which has two level 99 limit experts. So it's best to avoid provoking them if possible. Of course, if you are bullied, you don't have to swallow your anger.

Snow Empress nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember that. I'll keep an eye on them."

She doesn't like to cause trouble, so she won't go out of her way to provoke others. Besides, Ice Empress and Xiao Bai both listen to her, so it's convenient for her to keep an eye on those two.

With Snow Empress's assurance, Gong Yu felt much more at ease and immediately said, "Alright, let's go then. All of you, come closer to me, I'll lead you away."

The group gathered around Gong Yu, as he had told them to.

Then, with a flick of his Gong Yu, a spatial wormhole large enough for five or six people to pass through appeared out of thin air, and he led everyone through it.

When they reappeared, they had already arrived at Heaven Dou City.

He led everyone back home and first arranged rooms for Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Xiao Bai.

Before long, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress encountered Bi Ji and Zi JI, and they quickly began to talk, since they already knew each other.

After talking with Bi Ji and Zi JI, they learned some things, which made Snow Empress and Ice Empress even more determined to make the sacrifice.

The next day, Bi Ji directly assigned positions to Ice Empress and Snow Empress at the Academy of the Gods Academy of the Gods, making them both vice deans and honorifics.

Time flew by, and another month and a half passed. In just half a month, the Soul Master Elite Tournament would begin.

On this day, Zhu Zhuqing finally broke through to level 40.

Then Oscar brought Zhu Zhuqing to find Gong Yu, wanting Gong Yu to bring people to help Zhu Zhuqing hunt for Soul Ring.

Sensing that Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power had indeed reached level 40, Gong Yu said, "What Zhu Zhuqing needs is her Fourth Soul Ring. She doesn't need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest; the Sunset Forest, which is closest to Heaven Dou City, has a suitable Soul Beast for her."

"Sunset Forest? I've heard of it, but I've never been there," Oscar said with a slight smile. "Then let's go to Sunset Forest."

Gong Yu shook his head and said, "It's just hunting for a Soul Ring, there's no need for so many people. I'll take Zhu Zhuqing with me. It'll only take a day or two anyway. Sending too many people will only be a burden."

Upon hearing this, Oscar hesitated. He didn't really want Zhu Zhuqing, a girl, to go to Sunset Forest with Gong Yu, but he didn't dare to say it to Gong Yu directly, since he needed Gong Yu.

Noticing that Oscar's expression was a bit off, Gong Yu assumed he was worried about Zhu Zhuqing's safety!

So Gong Yu said, "Oscar, don't worry. Dugu Bo Poison Douluo lives in Sunset Forest. I know him very well. If we need to go deeper, I'll call him. So you don't need to worry about Zhu Zhuqing's safety."

"Is that Dugu Yan's grandfather Dugu Bo?" They had heard Yu Xiaogang tell them about Dugu Yan's background back when Shitrek was still in Suotuo City, before he fought against the Heaven Dou Team.

Gong Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed Dugu Yan's grandfather. Don't worry, he will grant any request I make, so you don't need to worry about Zhu Zhuqing's safety. Besides, you are a food-type Soul Master, so you won't be able to offer any help if you go with him."

Oscar felt as if thousands of alpacas were trampling over him. Was he worried about Zhu Zhuqing's safety? Or was he worried that Zhu Zhuqing's heart would be stolen?

Although Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing are together, he has a very clear understanding of his own position. He is actually a little insecure and even feels that he is not good enough for Zhu Zhuqing. Therefore, he often worries about losing her and is afraid that one day Zhu Zhuqing will be taken away by someone more outstanding.

However, Zhu Zhuqing gave Oscar a reassuring look, which finally calmed Oscar down.

"Alright, then I won't go. You guys be careful." Oscar finally gave up on the idea of going with them.

Gong Yu laughed twice, then patted Oscar on the shoulder and said, "Oscar, you're just confused because of your relationship, but don't worry, I'm Soul Emperor, hunting a mere Fourth Soul Ring is nothing to me. I'll definitely bring your girlfriend back safe and sound."

Oscar managed a weak smile and nodded.

After chatting for a while longer, the group dispersed.

The next morning, Gong Yu took Zhu Zhuqing and set off for Sunset Forest, but Gong Yu also brought Xiao Bai along.

Gong Yu thought that Xiao Bai was idle all day long, so he could take him to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After getting Snow Empress's permission, Xiao Bai went along.

Just as Gong Yu set off for Sunset Forest, on the other side, the people from the Shitrek Academy also set off for Sunset Forest.

Thanks to the financial assistance provided by Liu Erlong, Flender bought a nearly bankrupt academy, renamed it Shitrek Academy, and even secured its qualification to participate in the Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Chapter 136 When Zhu Zhuqing Learns Xiao Wu's Secret

The Shrek Academy group traveled to Sunset Forest to obtain the Fourth Soul Ring for Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Needless to say, Xiao Wu will definitely find an excuse to sneak away when she goes to Sunset Forest. When she reappears, she will definitely have obtained another Soul Ring. This trick has worked so well that she has become used to it.

However, she did advance to level 40 earlier than in the original timeline; logically, she should have advanced on her way to Spirit City.

As for Tang San, without the assistance of Dugu Bo's inner core, and with many mundane matters to attend to, such as developing poisons and crafting hidden weapons, he wasted most of his cultivation time on these things. Therefore, his cultivation progress was not as good as Zhu Zhuqing's and Oscar's!

After obtaining the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar practiced much more diligently than before. Apart from occasionally playing cards, they spent all their time cultivating, even replacing sleeping with cultivation.

Therefore, the two were latecomers who surpassed the former. Oscar reached level 40 earlier than Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing also reached level 40 around the same time as Tang San.

As for the others in Shitrek, Dai Mubai spent more than two years to reach level 42. One of those levels came from absorbing the Fourth Soul Ring. In other words, he himself only cultivated to level 4 Soul Power in more than two years, averaging two levels per year.

Actually, averaging two levels a year isn't bad. If one can maintain two levels a year, advancing to the Titled Douluo before the age of fifty is no problem at all. However, this is obviously impossible, since the energy required for each level increases as one progresses.

Among the members of Shitrek, besides Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong are much weaker. Ning Rongrong is only level 36 now, while Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong are at roughly the same level. Without the help of the immortal Immortal Herb, these two have actually advanced nearly 10 levels in two years, which is quite impressive.

About two hours later, Gong Yu, along with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Bai, arrived at Sunset Forest.

Entering the Soul Beast Forest, outside the Far North, for the first time filled Xiao Bai with excitement.

The two people and their Soul Beast searched for a Soul Beast as they made their way towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but unfortunately, they couldn't find a suitable Soul Beast for Zhu Zhuqing along the way, even after arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Upon arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gong Yu assigned Xiao Bai to be a guardian there. Xiao Bai Xiao Bai was quite content, as she deeply loved the Yin Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Upon arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Bai immediately jumped into it, causing Dugu Bo, who had been guarding it, to think he had seen a ghost. After Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai's chubby transformation was so deceptive that Dugu Bo thought Xiao Bai was just a child.

Seeing Dugu Bo's astonished expression, Gong Yu smiled and said, "Don't treat him like a child. He's an old monster. His cultivation level is probably around level 97. He's not the child you imagine."

To put Dugu Bo at ease, Gong Yu had no choice but to lie to him. Xiao Bai was a 290,000-year-old Ferocious Beast, which meant it should be at least level 97, but it could be considered level 98.

"No wonder he was able to get into that pool; he's incredibly powerful!"

After hearing Gong Yu's account, Dugu Bo made a mental note of it and secretly warned himself that he should not mess with that chubby boy, as he was much stronger than Chrysanthemum Guan.

"From now on, he'll be guarding the herb garden with you here. Don't mess with him, or he'll beat you up," Gong Yu instructed. Then she added, "We'll be going now. If anyone tries to trespass on the herb garden, give them a good beating, especially that guy surnamed Tang. Beat him to death if you can't kill him."

"Okay, I understand. The one surnamed Tang, right? Very good!" Dugu Bo had almost guessed who Gong Yu was referring to.

Gong Yu nodded and said, "Okay, if you encounter someone you can't beat, then go find Xiao Bai."
