Chapter 247: Ah Du Also Goes to the Slaughter City
Time passed slowly, and it was already late at night. Huo Linglong's breathing gradually steadied, and the absorption of her soul ring was nearing its end.
Half an hour later, Huo Linglong opened her eyes, her starry pupils brimming with undisguised excitement.
"Bei'er, I succeeded."
"Congratulations, Mother, for obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring."
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Ning Bei and the others congratulated her, but only Ning Bei and Dugu Yan's words were sincere. The old poison master's tone was full of envy, jealousy, and hate.
Ning Bei smiled and did not offer any consolation. After all, it was her fate to meet him so late in life.
"Mom, what's your eighth soul skill?"
"It's Flame Dragon Pulse and Flame Bath. Flame Bath can increase fire attribute attack by 300% for one minute, and my soul power has reached level 82."
Flame Dragon Pulse was an active release attack skill, the power of which was hard to describe, but as a 100,000-year soul skill, its power would certainly be immense.
Not only that, but the Lava Earth Dragon had also brought a 100,000-year right arm bone, which, once absorbed, would elevate Huo Linglong's cultivation to another level.
After the soul hunting was completed, the mother and son rested for the night in the small courtyard before setting off for their return journey.
The trip had taken just two days, but the results were a great surprise to Ning Fengzhi.
"To think you could encounter a 100,000-year soul beast, you two really are lucky!"
"This is thanks to Grandpa Dugu, he gave us the location of the soul beast."
After a brief conversation, Huo Linglong took the 100,000-year Lava Earth Dragon right arm bone out of the soul guide and handed it to Ning Fengzhi.
"Fengzhi, you take this soul bone, it would be more suitable for Uncle Gu or Uncle Jian."
Ning Bei was a bit surprised by his mother's actions but did not stop her. After all, the soul bone belonged to his mother, so how it was distributed was up to her.
Ning Fengzhi examined the soul bone for a while before returning it to Huo Linglong.
"Linglong, take it and absorb it. This soul bone will work best with your soul ring."
"But..."
Huo Linglong wanted to say that she, as a Soul Douluo, could make do without the soul bone, but Ning Fengzhi interrupted her with a raised hand.
"Linglong, your mindset needs to change. With your talent, it was difficult to break through to the Title Douluo level, but now, with Be'er's help, becoming a Title Douluo is no longer a fantasy."
"Now that you have a 100,000-year soul ring, your potential will increase even further. In the future, you'll be the pillar of the sect. There's no need to be modest. Take the soul bone and absorb it."
"Yes, Mom, you'll be even stronger in the future. Who knows, I might even need you to protect me."
Seeing his mother hesitating, Ning Bei quickly added fuel to the fire, and the couple immediately shot him a displeased glance, clearly indicating, "Do you need others to protect you?"
After a brief moment of thought, Huo Linglong decided to follow her husband's advice. She knew she needed to train seriously from now on and not waste the efforts of both father and son.
"Alright then, I'll take the soul bone and absorb it."
After Huo Linglong left, Ning Bei inquired about the progress of the sect's elders.
"Master Shi Ming and Elder Ou Xuan have broken through to level 90 and are currently consolidating their cultivation. Elder Gao Wei has not yet emerged from seclusion."
Ning Bei nodded, signaling that he understood.
He was familiar with these elders. Elder Shi Ming's martial soul was the Storm Griffin, and he was originally a 89th-level agility attack system Soul Douluo.
Elder Ou Xuan's martial soul was the Black Water Python, and he was an 89th-level strength attack system Soul Douluo.
The last elder, Gao Wei, had the Thorned Demon Vine martial soul and was a 89th-level control system Soul Douluo. When she was a child, she often held him, but now she was the only one who had not yet broken through the 90th level.
There was no rush; time was on their side.
After bidding farewell to Ning Fengzhi, Ning Bei returned to the Seven Treasure Forest to observe the progress of the younger generation's training.
Except for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, the others had already mastered the basics of releasing the Spiral Ball, although their control over its power was still a bit lacking.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had also entered the phase of maintaining the Spiral Ball, and it wouldn't be long before they fully mastered it.
In just three or four days, it seemed the children's talents were quite impressive.
When Hu Liena saw Ning Bei arrive, she approached and bowed.
"Young Master Ning, thank you for teaching me the self-created soul skill."
Ning Bei waved his hand, signaling that it was nothing, after all, her efforts had made her progress, so it was well worth the time.
"Are you planning to head to the Slaughter City?"
"Yes, after getting more familiar with it today, I should have it fully mastered. It's time for me to leave, I've already delayed enough."
"Alright, as I said before, try to avoid any conflicts with Tang San. It will only benefit you. Also, your seduction skills are mostly ineffective now, so adapt quickly."
"I understand!"
At this point, Hu Liena was genuinely grateful to Ning Bei, as he had not only provided her with pills but also taught her an offensive skill, which was already a huge help.
After a few words of advice to Hu Liena, Ning Bei called over Ah Du .
"Would you like to go to the Slaughter City for some training?"
"Slaughter City?"
Hearing this, Hu Liena was shocked, not expecting Ning Bei to also send Ah Du to the Slaughter City for training.
Ah Du 's eyes, hidden under his black hair, were full of confusion. It was the first time he had heard of this place.
Ning Bei explained the general situation of the Slaughter City to him, and Ah Du immediately fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, Ah Du raised his head, his gaze firm as he looked at Ning Bei.
"Young Master, I want to try."
"Are you sure? It's a dangerous place. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. I'm sending you because the Slaughter Domain is suitable for your martial soul, but it's not mandatory."
"I understand, Young Master, but I really want to try."
Seeing Ah Du 's determined eyes, Ning Bei nodded and didn't try to persuade him otherwise. He took out a soul bone from his soul guide and tossed it to him.
"This is the right arm bone of a 60,000-year bloodthirsty mantis. After you absorb it, go with her. At least you'll have someone to look out for you in that depraved place."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Ah Du excitedly accepted the soul bone, bowed deeply to Ning Bei, and turned to run back toward the sect, eager to absorb the soul bone.
Seeing Hu Liena still standing there in shock, Ning Bei smirked.
"What's wrong? Don't want to go with Ah Du ?"
"Huh? No, it's just surprising. After all, both you and Teacher seem very cautious about that place."
Ning Bei raised an eyebrow and said:
"You're not wrong. That place is indeed dangerous. Well, I'll just tell you outright."
"That place is where a certain god chooses their successor, and Tang San is very likely to be their successor. Now you understand why both Teacher and I want you to stay away from him?"
"Also, don't drink that Bloody Mary. If you can't control your killing intent, take the Soul Cleansing Pill."
Hu Liena was taken aback. She hadn't realized there were such hidden dangers in the Slaughter City.
"I understand. I'll be careful when the time comes."
After sending Hu Liena off, Ning Bei encouraged the others and then left the Seven Treasure Forest. He planned to visit Seven Treasure City to check the location Ning Fengzhi had chosen for the Ice God Temple.
