Xingluo Empire, the palace, accompanied by the crisp music of exquisite porcelain disintegrating after close contact with the ground, Xu Jiawei's angry roar was deafening.
"Ah! My soul bone, my soul bone!"
"Damned Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, don't let me find you again in the territory of Xingluo Empire, otherwise I must kill you all! No, kill you all! Not one head left, not one head left!"
In the palace, a banquet was prepared to welcome Xu Jiujiu's return, but he was shocked to hear a distress signal from Mingdou Forest. Not long after, he saw Xu Jiujiu return safely. He was not happy for a while, but heard from Xu Jiujiu that "they were repaid by their life-saving benefactor Jing Hongchen". Xu Jiawei's mood was ups and downs. After dispersing the palace people, the emperor's suppressed anger finally broke out.
Three soul bones over 50,000 years old! Those are all strategically valuable resources. If they are put on the auction, they can be sold at a high price of tens of millions of gold soul coins. If they are used to enhance the foundation of soul masters, there is a more than 70% chance of cultivating a titled Douluo.
Calculated at the lowest price, the reward demanded by the Lord of Hongchen this time also caused Xu Jiawei to lose 30 million gold soul coins. Considering that this kind of soul bone is in short supply, the real number is probably more than 50 million gold soul coins, which is almost close to the annual tax revenue of Xingluo Imperial City. How can Xu Jiawei not go crazy?
But can Xu Jiawei blame Jing Hongchen? He can't!
If Jing Hongchen hadn't killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Xu Jiujiu, the pillar of the royal family, Xingyun Douluo Manyi, the Protector of the Nation Douluo, and Huang Heyun, the future titled, would have been eaten alive by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. When the bad news came, he would probably cry and faint, and the imperial doctor would be with him 24 hours a day.
Not only can he not blame Jing Hongchen, he also has to fulfill his promise to send out the soul bone, otherwise the future of Xu Jiujiu and the other two will be ruined, and it will be difficult for them to make any progress in their cultivation; the reputation of the Xingluo royal family will also be ruined, and if a royal family member is in danger in the future , don't blame others for standing idly by.
Mingde Hall Master rescued people, but the Xingluo Empire broke the contract and did not pay. Are you a Titled Douluo or a Super Douluo? Do you have the confidence to get benefits from the Xingluo royal family? Bah! You are a guy without credibility!
But the more this happened, the more aggrieved Xu Jiawei felt! With the relationship between the two empires, what is the difference between this and aiding the enemy? Cultivating the other party's genius to fight against you? What a black joke!
There is no way, I can only vent my anger on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it's all these bastards!
Looking at the exquisite porcelain that Xu Jiawei smashed in anger, Xu Jiujiu, who pursed his lips, turned pale, and was also in a very sad mood, gave Manyi a look.
"Grandma Manyi, please quickly collect these broken pieces and sharp objects. Don't hurt our royal brother."
Our royal brother is already in a difficult situation. We cannot let him get hurt again. Otherwise, who will take care of such a huge empire?
Hearing this, Xu Jiawei, who was trembling all over due to the sudden misfortune, trembled and put down a piece of porcelain that he was about to lift and smash. He turned around with a heavy breath, forced a smile and said:
"Jiujiu, don't underestimate me! I have seen many ups and downs in my life. What's this setback? It's nothing, it's nothing. I just lost tens of millions of gold soul coins this time. I can make it back by organizing a competition next year. The loss can be made back..."
Seeing Xu Jiawei, who was always wise and decisive, speaking like this, Xu Jiujiu felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry, brother, we were too careless. If we had been more vigilant at the time and had not rashly looked for an overly powerful soul beast for Huang Heyun, perhaps we would not have encountered an accident..."
Huang Heyun's martial soul is the dark magic tiger, which has dark attributes and is not inferior to the white tiger martial soul. In the past two years, he has worked hard and cultivated to level 60 with the support of a soul bone and a lot of resources from the Xingluo Empire. He was overjoyed.
Xu Jiujiu and the others were thinking about finding the most powerful and most suitable 20,000-year-old soul beast as his sixth soul ring. Fortunately, he could show his skills in the upcoming competition, and then he found the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger...
Good news: There is no soul beast in the entire Douluo Continent that is more suitable for Huang Heyun than it. If it can be absorbed, Huang Heyun's martial soul may evolve and directly get a ticket to Super Douluo.
Bad news: This soul beast is too powerful and cannot be taken down without the help of Super Douluo. It is beyond their ability limit...
The unlucky Xu Jiujiu even had a thought in her mind, whether she should go to the Worship Hall to invite two more worshippers next time she goes out. Although it is a luxury, it seems necessary.
But in just a moment, she suppressed this thought. She was just a princess, not an emperor, and it was impossible for her to easily invite multiple worshippers for soul hunting.
"Royal brother, next time you hunt soul beasts, why don't you just send someone out to catch them? Jiujiu is a little afraid to go out..."
Xu Jiujiu hugged her thin shoulders and sobbed softly. As she spoke, two lines of tears flowed down her fair and perfect cheeks.
"No! Jiujiu, you are the princess of my Xingluo Empire and my pride! You must cheer up and never give up on yourself. I am counting on you to lead my Xingluo athletes to win the runner-up in the next competition!"
Seeing that Xu Jiujiu's mentality was close to collapse, Xu Jiawei didn't care about being angry anymore. He hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Xu Jiujiu's shoulders, comforted her loudly, and patted his chest and said:"Isn't it just killing a soul beast? What's there to be afraid of? When you cultivate to the Soul Saint realm, I will personally go out and find the most suitable soul beast for the princess of our Xingluo Empire!"
"But Royal Brother..."
"No buts."
Xu Jiawei covered Xu Jiujiu's lips to stop her from saying any more unlucky words: "Don't underestimate me. Although I slacked off in my cultivation after becoming the emperor, I am still a Titled Douluo! Could anything go wrong?"
When talking about his own cultivation, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but show a bit of pride on his face. As the Emperor of Xingluo, he could mobilize resources from all over the country for his own use, including a hundred thousand year soul bone. Although he was not a Super Douluo, he had a cultivation level of ninety-four.
As the most outstanding genius of the Xingguan lineage in hundreds of years, if he hadn't lost interest in cultivation due to being the emperor, Xu Jiawei was confident that he would have been able to retreat and comprehend and reach the ninety-fifth level long ago.
Seeing Xu Jiawei's finally cheered up face, Xu Jiujiu's bad mood also cleared up. He nodded and said:"Jiujiu certainly believes in my brother. So, brother, what should we do next?"
"There is nothing to say. Just do what should be done. Give what should be given. We can't let the sun and the moon look down on my Xingluo. I, Xu Jiawei, can afford three soul bones! Anyway, three of them will be taken away by Shrek every twenty years, so I don't care."
Xu Jiawei sighed and waved his hand, then his face relaxed and continued:
"Jiujiu, you did a good job this time. You brought up the matter of exchange and learning. From what you said, Jing Hongchen has actually agreed to exchange and learn with us. It's just a matter of price. That's easy to say. I will fully support you to lead the team to win the runner-up!"
"Jiujiu will definitely not disappoint my brother!" Xu Jiujiu bowed and said in a firm tone.
"Well, I'll wait and see."
After comforting each other with Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei finally recovered some of his imperial demeanor. He nodded, his eyes gradually became deep, and he said ambitiously:
"The soul guidance technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is changing with each passing day. The development of soul guides is the general trend. I will propose to increase the investment in soul guides in the court. My Xingluo Empire must not fall behind others."
"If those stubborn guys insist on opposing, I will deal with them to the end. If the money is not enough, I will use the royal treasury to develop soul guides. The Sun-Moon Empire has an elite legion of the five national protectors, and my Xingluo Empire must have it as well!"
"Even if I have to smuggle in large quantities on the black market of the Sun-Moon Empire, I will equip our soldiers with equipment that is not inferior to theirs! I don't believe that our powerful soul masters will be inferior to those medicine bottles of the Sun-Moon Empire after being equipped with soul guides!"
"My royal brother is wise."
"Your Majesty is wise."
...
Tianhun Empire, between a steep cliff shrouded in clouds and mist.
Xu Xiaoyun was walking in the air, and Xiao Changfeng was one step behind him, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.
The location of the Benti Sect has always been hidden, and it has been hidden for more than a hundred years. Even he came here for the first time.
"Teacher, I heard that the last leader of the Benti Sect, Du Bi Si, died after a life-and-death battle with Dragon God Douluo. The current leader is Du Bi Si's younger brother Du Bu Si. I wonder how strong he is? How many strong people are there in the Benti Sect?"
Xiao Changfeng asked, and he was very interested in the famous Benti Sect.
Xu Xiaoyun said: "The old poisonous creature is quite capable. More than a hundred years ago, our strengths were comparable. His body was stronger, and my defense was stronger. We were both good at winning. But we didn't fight desperately. We each had our trump cards that we didn't use. I don't know how he has progressed in the past hundred years."
"But in my estimation, if he didn't have a great opportunity, he would probably be stuck at the last level and unable to make any progress."
"It's hard to say about the others. I haven't had contact with them for a long time... Maybe they are slightly stronger than us. The body martial spirit is indeed unique."
Xiao Changfeng nodded silently, estimating his current strength, and thinking about whether to find a master of the body sect to fight later. When soul masters communicate, fists are the best etiquette.
The two of them were very fast, and one step could be a thousand meters. In less than a minute, huge and simple buildings built on the mountain came into view.
Among the buildings, there are quaint houses, fighting arenas, simulated training environments, and ancient scripture attics. From a distance, two soul masters can be seen fighting on the fighting arena, one with five rings and the other with six rings.
Surprisingly, the younger five-ring soul master has the upper hand in the battle, and the ratio of his soul rings is also extraordinary, with one yellow, two purple, and two black.
The surroundings are full of noise, and many disciples cheer loudly.
"Senior Brother Long Aotian is worthy of being the first genius of the younger generation of our Body Sect. He has comprehended the fighting skills of the fusion of mental power and soul power so early!"
"Even Senior Brother Six Rings, who has used the Black Iron Level awakening, is not a match for Senior Brother Long Aotian. I think Senior Brother Long Aotian is the only choice for the young master!"
"He has cultivated to become a soul king before the age of fifteen, and has not taken any drugs. Senior Brother Long Aotian's talent is unparalleled in the world!"
...
In the sky, Xu Xiaoyun followed the shouts of the disciples of the Body Sect and found Long Aotian's tall and strong figure standing out from the crowd, and his eyes moved slightly.
"I didn't expect that not only our Xuanming Sect has geniuses, but also the Body Sect has many powerful juniors. This little guy is really good, Sanshi is not as good as him."
Xiao Changfeng watched for a while, and said with deep approval: "The second ring of a thousand years, the fourth ring of ten thousand years, this aptitude is outstanding, plus the resources of the Body Sect, it is only a matter of time to reach my level in the future."
In terms of killing a hundred thousand year soul beast, the Body Sect is much more ruthless than their Xuanming Sect, and they can do anything for their disciples.
"Teacher, when he attacked, he used all his strength. Could it be that like Du Bu Si, his martial soul is his own?"
Xu Xiaoyun watched from a distance for a while, shook his head and said: "No, his martial soul quality is a little worse than that of the old poison, but it is also very extraordinary. It may be a whole body organ like skin..."
Just as Xu Xiaoyun and his apprentice were evaluating the younger generation of the Body Sect, a dark green soul light rushed over, revealing a tall old man who was green from head to toe.
The tall old man was about to shout "Who is coming?", but when he saw Xu Xiaoyun's face clearly, he was shocked and swallowed back the words on his lips, saying in disbelief:
"You are an old turtle? How did you become so young? Could it be that you..."
Xu Xiaoyun nodded slightly, with a smile on his face: "It's me, Xu Xiaoyun, long time no see, old poisonous thing, more than a hundred years have passed, are you okay?"
