Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 77

Chapter 77: Nan Feihuang and Xue Qinghe – Target: Star Dou Forest

The academy’s vacation lasted over a month.

During the New Year period, everyone didn’t forget their cultivation. On New Year’s Eve, after the court banquet with civil and military officials, Nan Tianchen ordered all officials to return home and reunite with their families, while he immediately went into seclusion.

Nan Feiling did the same. Both she and Nan Tianchen had reached a bottleneck and longed for a quick breakthrough.

The power of the celestial grasses was extraordinary. On the day she consumed them, she only absorbed a small portion; the remainder was refined gradually during cultivation.

Nan Feiling felt that her current speed of accumulating soul power was incredibly fast.

Inside the royal library, Nan Feiling’s soul power surged. Her Ancient Thunder Book martial soul didn’t require any simulated cultivation area; the library itself was a natural training ground.

“Level 30! Is this the cultivation speed comparable to innate full soul power?!” Nan Feiling exclaimed.

After nearly half a month, she broke through the Soul Sage bottleneck. Now, her talent was roughly on par with Zhu Zhuqing after consuming the celestial grasses. With her own diligent cultivation and Nan Feihuang’s assistance, her future achievements would at least be comparable to Zhu Zhuqing’s.

“Third Sister, it seems you succeeded. Father also broke through the level 80 bottleneck yesterday. Mother plans to take you, E’lai (a name), and Father to the Star Dou Great Forest for advancement. I’ll go with you all as well,” Nan Feihuang, who was also cultivating there, said. His second martial soul was the Dunjia Heavenly Book, making the library suitable for him too.

It was convenient for everyone to advance together; going as a group would save them the trouble of traveling to and from the Star Dou Great Forest repeatedly.

“Good, thank you, little brother,” Nan Feiling said happily. Breaking through the Soul Sage bottleneck before the age of eleven, and about to hunt for the crucial third soul ring, naturally made her elated.

That afternoon, Lan Xue and Nan Tianchen gathered everyone at the palace gate.

Lü Lingqi didn’t need to go this time; she hadn’t met the advancement requirements. This was rather unfortunate, because while others had been diligently cultivating, Lü Lingqi had been slacking, causing her to remain stuck at the peak of level 29. This wasn’t entirely her fault; Nan Feihuang had only returned once after a long time, and she didn’t want to waste their brief reunion on cultivation. Reaching level 30 was a piece of cake for her talent anyway.

During the days when others were hunting soul rings, she could focus on her cultivation and breakthrough.

In addition, there were two familiar faces.

One was Elder Zhang, and the other was the royal Soul Sage who had escorted Nan Feihuang’s return.

They were also there to assist with soul ring hunting, as Nan Tianchen was about to acquire his eighth soul ring, meaning the soul beast’s years couldn’t be low.

Although Lan Xue was there, as long as the soul beast’s years didn’t exceed 100,000 or wasn’t an ancient, ten-thousand-year soul beast, she could generally handle it.

However, finding a soul beast with the right attributes and age wasn’t easy. Therefore, having a supply expert like Elder Zhang was necessary.

Furthermore, after Dian Wei and Nan Feiling hunted soul beasts, they would venture deep into the forest, which would be too dangerous for the children.

Therefore, another Soul Sage was needed to protect them on their return after the children had acquired their soul rings.

“Elder Zhang, Mr. Xu, we’ll trouble you this time!” Nan Tianchen said.

“Your Majesty, you’re too kind. You are the king of our country. Your advancement to Soul Douluo represents the glory of the nation. It is my great honor to be able to assist you,” Elder Zhang said, his tone gentle, and his loyalty to the Ancient Thunder King Country unwavering. He always felt a sense of pride whenever the nation’s honor was involved.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, I will protect His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Princess,” the Soul Sage surnamed Xu said confidently, well aware of his responsibilities.

His confidence wasn’t unfounded, but stemmed from his martial soul.

This person was named Xu Rong, and his martial soul was a superior defensive type, the Glory Shield!

This shield was very special. The simulated cultivation environment unique to this martial soul was surprisingly by the side of the king, using the king’s majestic aura and the nation’s national fortune to aid cultivation.

As the name suggests, the Glory Shield took pride in guarding its master. Therefore, Xu Rong’s family had been the guardian family of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom’s royal family for generations.

The more loyal they were to their master, the stronger the Glory Shield’s power became.

Unfortunately, the Ancient Thunder Kingdom was a small country, with weak national fortune, and Nan Tianchen’s kingly aura was insufficient. Thus, the family had never produced a Title Douluo. Soul Douluos were few and far between; in the present day, only Xu Rong had reached the Soul Sage level.

“Good, then let’s set off!” Lan Xue waved her hand, and together with everyone else, set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile, in the Tian Dou Empire’s palace, in the Crown Prince’s room, Xue Qinghe’s soul power emanated a rich golden light, looking extremely sacred.

Behind her, three pairs of golden wings unfurled, but only two were solid.

This Six-winged Angel martial soul, though called six-winged, only manifested two wings upon awakening. As cultivation improved, the remaining four wings would gradually solidify.

“Congratulations, Young Master, on breaking through the level 60 barrier and advancing to Soul Emperor!”

From the shadows, two figures silently emerged from the corner of the room, congratulating Xue Qinghe, their expressions filled with joy and shock.

Their young master’s talent was truly exceptional. At her current age, around twenty, she had reached level 60, truly a peerless genius.

If Nan Feihuang were present, he wouldn’t be as shocked as they were.

In the original story, she appeared as a Soul Sage, possibly a high-level one. Her breakthrough to Soul Emperor at this stage was completely within his expectations.

After all, even the Martial Soul Temple’s Golden Generation reached Soul King at age twenty. Qian Renxue’s innate level was 20, not only at least ten levels higher than them innately, but her later cultivation speed was also incomparable.

Even considering the impact of her many political duties as Crown Prince, which affected her cultivation, it didn’t hinder her progress significantly.

“Uncle She, Uncle Ci, please accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest. I need to hunt for my sixth soul ring!” Xue Qinghe said.

The limit for a Soul Master’s sixth soul ring is usually around 20,000 years. Qian Renxue, with her extraordinary talent and possession of one of the six Angel Bone fragments, could slightly exceed this, but not as excessively as Nan Feihuang. At most, a thousand or two years more.

The present Snake Spear Douluo and Poison Sting Douluo, though only level 92 Title Douluos, not among the strongest, both had unique skills.

One was a poison Soul Master like Du Guobo, possessing the ability to absorb all poisons in the world; the other possessed the Artifact Soul True Body beast transformation ability. Once activated, his strength would drastically increase.

With these two Title Douluos assisting, hunting a soul beast within this range shouldn’t be a difficult task.

“Yes, Young Master!”

Snake Spear Douluo and Poison Sting Douluo replied. They casually dispatched someone to report the matter to the Hall of Worship before setting off with Xue Qinghe.

Luckily, it was the New Year, so there was no court, nor any urgent political affairs. Therefore, Xue Qinghe, under the guise of seclusion, could leave for a short time without causing any major problems.

Many would even respect Xue Qinghe even more. With such busy political affairs, he still managed to cultivate diligently during the New Year’s break. He truly was a role model for the Tian Dou Empire.
