Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 76

Chapter 76: Everyone’s Progress

“Whew, it feels like my soul power has been cleansed and become much purer. This Nine-Grade Purple Spirit Herb is truly a treasure,” Nan Tianchen said, standing up with a sigh.

Actually, he hadn’t initially looked favorably upon gaining strength through external means. But ever since Nan Feihuang had used divine herbs to heal Lan Xue’s injuries and help her break through to the Title Douluo realm, he’d changed his mind. Positive external forces could also promote growth.

Today, he had a profound understanding of this. Before, even with intense cultivation, reaching Soul Douluo might have been possible, but at most, he would only grow to the level of the three instructors at the Sky Dou Royal Academy; becoming a Title Douluo was essentially out of the question.

But now, while he didn’t dare claim the potential of a Super Douluo, he truly had the hope of breaking through to a regular Title Douluo!

“Father, you just need to cultivate for a while longer, and you’ll naturally break through to Soul Douluo,” Nan Feihuang said.

Nan Tianchen nodded. “Mn, it’s all thanks to you. Is your mother awake?”

“Not yet. I think Dian Wei will wake up first. Although Dian Wei’s cultivation isn’t as deep as Mother’s, firstly, the efficacy of the 奇茸通天菊 (Qirong Tongtianju – a mythical herb) is less than the Hun Yuan Immortal Grass, and secondly, Mother had already consumed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Now she’s using the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to fuse with other immortal herbs and absorb the Hun Yuan Immortal Grass. Her difficulty is more than ten times greater than Dian Wei’s. If Mother didn’t have the profound cultivation of a Title Douluo, I wouldn’t dare let anyone else do this,” Nan Feihuang said, looking at Dian Wei. He knew how powerful Dian Wei’s potential was, absolutely surpassing Lan Xue.

“Lü Bu, then Zhao Yun, then Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Sun Jian, Taishi Ci, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Pang De, Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, and Wei Yan.” This folk poem ranking martial prowess in the Three Kingdoms period might not be entirely accurate. But at least it shows that Dian Wei was one of the top martial artists of the Three Kingdoms era. The top few names are essentially neck and neck, a battle of hundreds of rounds wouldn’t be enough to determine the victor.

Such a person should be Nan Feihuang’s leading vanguard general. Aside from Feihuang himself, Dian Wei would undoubtedly be the strongest expert in the Ancient Thunder King Country in the future.

“Ah!!!”

At that moment, Dian Wei suddenly opened his eyes and let out a furious roar, like a tiger, a lion, and a dragon’s cry combined, deafening and earth-shattering, its sound waves shooting straight towards the sky. If Dian Wei’s cultivation weren’t still weak, this roar might have shaken the heavens and earth.

“E’lai (Dian Wei’s nickname), it seems you’ve successfully absorbed it. As expected of the ancient E’lai,” Nan Feihuang laughed.

“Yes, thank you, my lord, for your praise,” Dian Wei still had that simple-minded look, but his speech was much more coherent.

It seemed his brain had slightly recovered. If his original intelligence was ten, it was now probably twenty. While still intellectually challenged, he could at least have a normal conversation.

“Dian Wei’s level is still thirty, but I can clearly feel that his actual soul power far surpasses level thirty. He just doesn’t have soul rings, so the soul power above level thirty isn’t reflected,” Nan Tianchen could clearly feel the surging soul power from Dian Wei’s roar.

This seemed to be a self-created soul skill. With his still weak soul power, it possessed such might. When this guy’s cultivation improves in the future, it might even be stronger than the ninth soul skill of many Title Douluos.

Nan Tianchen couldn’t help but wonder, was this kid a simpleton or a genius? Strictly speaking, Dian Wei was intellectually challenged in other aspects, but a genius in combat. Such a person was worth cultivating.

Now, only Nan Feiling and Lan Xue were still absorbing the medicinal power. Unexpectedly, Nan Feiling absorbed it quite quickly, finishing before Lan Xue. The Seven-Radiance Immortal Ginseng’s medicinal power was gentle, indeed quite suitable for her.

“Oh my god, I’m level twenty-nine! This Seven-Radiance Immortal Ginseng raised me more than eight levels in one go!” Nan Feiling was overjoyed. This spirit herb was too terrifying! If cultivation was always this easy, why bother with hard training? Just eating herbs all day would suffice.

Sadly, she also knew that under normal circumstances, one shouldn’t eat too many of these immortal herbs. Being able to consume even one was a tremendous stroke of luck.

Nan Feihuang expected Nan Feiling’s eight-level increase. Even in the original story, the food-type Soul Master, Oska, had at least increased by five levels. But Oska was level 33 to 38, while Nan Feiling was level 21 to 29. The actual total amount of soul power increase wasn’t that different, because the higher the level, the greater the soul power difference between each level.

“Third Sister, the medicinal effects of the Seven-Radiance Immortal Ginseng haven’t been fully utilized. If you cultivate diligently later, you should be able to feel how much your cultivation speed has increased. I think it should now be no less than a Soul Master with innate full soul power,” Nan Feihuang smiled.

“Hee hee, that’s all thanks to my good little brother!” Nan Feiling playfully shook Feihuang’s arm.

She had always been a brother-obsessed since childhood. It turned out she hadn’t been wrong. Look at the rewards she received.

Now, she thought her father and stepmother wouldn’t think of marrying her off. After all, which family would marry off a genius who had consumed immortal herbs and reached the level of a prodigy? Even Nan Tianchen, who favored sons over daughters, wouldn’t bear to part with her.

Only Lan Xue remained. The Hun Yuan Immortal Grass’s medicinal power was exceedingly potent, arguably the closest to the Xiangsi Duanchang Hong (Love-Severing Heartbreak Red) within the Ice Fire Eyes. Its medicinal effect was extremely forceful, incapable of improving physique, but directly increasing cultivation.

Lan Xue absorbed the medicinal power for a full day and night before completely absorbing it. The moment she awoke, a strong chill emanated from her body, instantly freezing the entire palace hall.

However, just as it was about to spread further, the icy power dissipated instantly, as if nothing had happened. The ultimate ice flashed by, after all, the Hun Yuan Immortal Grass wasn’t an ice attribute immortal herb, it couldn’t truly activate the ultimate ice within Lan Xue’s body.

“Xue’er, what level are you?” Nan Tianchen asked expectantly.

“Ninety-five, but it’s actually far more than that. I feel the accumulated medicinal effects could push me to level ninety-seven. However, after level ninety-five, each level increase requires strengthening the fusion of oneself and one’s martial soul, which is to simultaneously achieve a realm improvement. So now I’m like a Soul Master who has reached a breakthrough bottleneck but lacks a soul ring; stuck here,” Lan Xue said.

“It’s fine, level ninety-five is enough. We’ll take it slow later!” Nan Tianchen was already very happy. Starting at level ninety-five, one enters the realm of Super Douluo, stronger than ordinary Title Douluos. With Lan Xue, the Ancient Thunder King Country’s foundation would be even stronger.

Lan Xue walked forward and hugged Nan Feihuang. “My baby, you’re my lucky star, the best gift heaven gave your mother!” She knew that her ability to first heal her hidden injuries, then break through to Title Douluo, and then advance to Super Douluo in a short time, was all thanks to her son.

“Ninety-five levels? Not enough!” In Lan Xue’s arms, Nan Feihuang was still considering other things. He knew Lan Xue definitely wanted another battle with Tang Hao, but Tang Hao was also level ninety-five. Both had similar soul power, but Tang Hao not only possessed a ten-thousand-year soul ring but also six soul bones. Lan Xue only had one left arm bone. Add to that Tang Hao’s self-destructing ring, killing god domain, and Great Sumeru Hammer, and in a direct confrontation, Lan Xue was still far from Tang Hao’s opponent. Unless she could wait for Tang Hao’s hidden injuries to flare up, there was no chance of victory.

Now, although Lan Xue was still an ice attribute, the ice-type soul skills she used were only ordinary ice. The ultimate attribute, like a recessive gene, was hidden deep within her body. For Lan Xue to completely surpass Tang Hao, Nan Feihuang considered that he would have to awaken the ultimate ice within her body in the future!
