—------------------—
Dragon Valley is the most powerful Small World in the Douluo Continent. It is the place where the Dragon Clan fell after the God Realm War. If Shi Quan remembered correctly, this Dragon Valley was opened up by the Dragon God's remnant soul.
Many Dragon Clan corpses are buried inside, possessing numerous Dragon Souls. Dragon Souls can improve physical quality and even imbue a trace of Dragon Qi into a Spirit Master's Bloodline, which is immensely beneficial for future Cultivation, especially for advancing to higher levels.
Of course, besides Dragon Souls, the most precious treasures in Dragon Valley are the true dragon soul bone and the dragon god's heart.
This is also a major reason why Shi Quan plans to use the Teleportation Talisman to go to Dragon Valley.
In Douluo 3, Tang Wulin obtained a mountain dragon king's torso bone in Dragon Valley. This Spirit Bone is very compatible with Shi Quan's Earth Martial Soul, and Shi Quan naturally wouldn't give it up. Moreover, the many true dragon soul bones in Dragon Valley can be used by Shi Quan to strengthen his existing Spirit Bones, or directly absorbed by Ye Lingling and the other girls to enhance their strength.
It can be said that the entire Dragon Valley is filled with Treasure Troves.
Another very important point is that Dragon Valley has a strict requirement: only Spirit Masters below five rings can enter.
Currently, Shi Quan's spirit power is still at level forty-nine, which perfectly meets this requirement.
If he doesn't go now, even if he teleports in later, he will be directly repelled by Dragon Valley.
So now is the best time.
But before going, Shi Quan still needs to prepare some things. Besides that, he also needs to tell Zhu Zhuqing his identity as Zhuang Zhou. With the competition over, some things can no longer be hidden.
Dugu Bo looked at the Teleportation Talisman in Shi Quan's hand, his eyes full of curiosity, "Interesting. The runes on this are filled with dense spatial power. The intensity of this spatial power is probably something even a spatial Titled Douluo cannot match. Where did you find such a Treasure?"
"Hehe, it's a secret."
Dugu Bo suppressed the urge to act, giving Shi Quan a sidelong glance, "But are you sure this paper can teleport you to the Dragon Valley you mentioned?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Dugu, I never do things without confidence." Shi Quan nodded.
The Teleportation Talisman can teleport to any location on the Douluo Continent. Dragon Valley is a Small World within the Douluo Continent World and also falls within the Douluo Continent's scope, so the Teleportation Talisman can indeed teleport there.
Dugu Bo nodded, "Since you plan to bring Yan Yan, I'll go with you. That way, we'll have someone to look out for and it will be safer."
Shi Quan shook his head and said, "Grandpa Dugu, Dragon Valley is special. It only allows Spirit Masters below five rings to enter. You can't go in, and neither can the Blue Silver King. Before I go to Dragon Valley, I will send the Blue Silver King to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first."
"There's such a restriction?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, "That is indeed quite troublesome."
"So when do you plan to go to Dragon Valley?"
"Let's talk about it after returning to Heaven Dou City. Moreover, Tang Hao definitely knows Xiao Wu's true identity. He certainly won't feel at ease leaving Xiao Wu with you. Perhaps it won't be long before he comes looking for you. Let's go back, observe, and prepare first, then make concrete arrangements."
Dugu Bo nodded. If it were him, if he lost a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, wouldn't he try to find it back immediately?
In a certain forest.
Crackling sounds filled the dark night, as a bonfire blazed.
Tang Hao fell into thought, "Shi Quan has already Awakened the Blue Silver Emperor. If I ignore it, Xiao San's Blue Silver Emperor will be unable to Awaken. And Dugu Bo, did he intentionally keep Xiao Wu because he saw through her origin, or simply because of the Immortal Herb?"
A cold glint flickered in his eyes.
"No matter what, these two deserve to die!"
"And then there's Xiao San." Tang Hao looked at Tang San, who was still unconscious beside him, "I should have stopped Xiao San when he first devoured Spirit Beasts. But thankfully, the time spent Cultivating by devouring Spirit Beasts was short, so it can still be remedied, and the impact isn't too great. Besides rescuing Xiao Wu, the next step is Xiao San's special training."
As his thoughts raced, Tang San's body stirred, emitting a low groan, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Father." Tang San's expression was somewhat crestfallen as he got up.
"Kneel!" Tang Hao's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he let out a cold shout.
Tang San's already pale face became even whiter, and he knelt down obediently, lowering his head and clenching his teeth. Memories of everything outside the Supreme Pontiff Palace immediately flashed through his mind.
He naturally understood how severe the consequences would be once the title of Fallen Soul Master was bestowed.
Tang Hao's anger was naturally because of this.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Tang Hao's voice was cold.
"Father, I can confirm that the evolution direction of Blue Silver Grass is this. It's just that my Martial Spirit's devouring ability is getting stronger and stronger, and it inevitably takes away some Life Qi when used. I didn't do it on purpose; it's just that the devouring ability grew too fast, and I couldn't control it. That Shi Quan's Martial Spirit also possesses a very powerful devouring ability, it's just very subtle and not obvious. I don't know what methods Shi Quan used to make his Blue Silver Grass appear so vibrant, but in reality, his devouring ability isn't much different from mine. I personally felt it back then. Moreover, didn't he say his Martial Spirit had already evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor? I suspect that the Blue Silver King and those Blue Silver Grass that disappeared earlier might have been devoured by him, which is why his Martial Spirit suddenly evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor."
Tang San explained, his face filled with indignation.
As for devouring Spirit Beasts, he didn't feel he was wrong at all. After all, Spirit Beasts and humans were natural enemies. His devouring Spirit Beasts was merely eliminating harm for the people. What wrong was there in that?
Tang San, however, forgot that when he first entered the forest, he had told Dai Mubai and the others not to indiscriminately hunt Spirit Beasts, otherwise, many years later, Spirit Masters would find themselves with no one left to kill.
"Foolish!" Tang Hao snorted coldly, "Since you knew Shi Quan possessed the same devouring ability as you, how dare you use your devouring ability to devour others' Life Qi right in front of him?"
"Even if what you say is true regarding the devouring ability, he only dares to use it secretly, yet you brazenly used it during the competition! Do you not know that such a flaw is enough for the opponent to use Spirit Hall to brand you as a Fallen Soul Master!"
"Damn it!" Tang San's face instantly flushed red.
Tang Hao's brows furrowed tightly. From his understanding of Tang San, Tang San was very intelligent and acted maturely and steadily. However, once emotions were involved, he was easily impulsive, especially concerning Xiao Wu. In terms of cunning, there was an enormous gap between him and that Shi Quan.
"Father, where's Xiao Wu?" Tang San suddenly remembered something and looked around in a panic.
Tang Hao sighed, "I couldn't rescue Xiao Wu, but don't worry, she ate the Concealment Grass, so no one will discover her identity."
"Father, Xiao Wu will definitely leave Spirit City with Teacher and the others. Once they leave, let's go and bring her over."
Tang Hao's voice deepened slightly, "What good would bringing her over do? Can you protect her? Because of today's incident, your title as a Fallen Soul Master is already set in stone. I imagine it won't be long before you and I are wanted across the entire continent. At that time, do you want to drag her along, constantly on the run?"
"..." Tang San remained silent, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
"You don't need to think about Xiao Wu for now. She is safe. If you want to be with her, you must possess the strength to protect her."
"Father, I understand." Tang San nodded solemnly.
"Also, you must be careful when using your devouring ability. Starting tomorrow, I will begin special training for you, and at the same time, I will find a way to help you integrate the power within your body and remove the Impurities."
"Impurities? Integrate?" Tang San was slightly stunned. Were there still Impurities after devouring energy remained in his body?
It seemed that the energy filtered by the Blue Silver Grass and Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances was not as pure as he had imagined.
The night passed without a word. The next day, after a simple meal of dry rations, Tang Hao and Tang San, father and son, set off.
On Spirit City's side, the Heaven Dou Empire's team, led by Xue Qinghe, also began their return journey.
In the team where Shrek was located.
The once lively team now only consisted of Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Qin Ming, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai.
Everyone was very silent. Everyone in their entire team had been placed under house arrest.
The specific situation would only be arranged after further investigation upon their return to Heaven Dou City.
Yu Tianheng had been taken away by the people from Thunder Academy, along with Yu Tianxin, back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for further examination and treatment.
Ning Rongrong had been taken away by Ning Fengzhi on the same day.
Flender also did not tell everyone about Xiao Wu being captured by Dugu Bo.
On the carriage, only Flender, a Spirit Saint, was conscious at the time; everyone else had fainted directly from Tang Hao's hammer blow.
"Xiaogang, apologize to the children first." Flender said first.
"Apologize?" Dai Mubai snorted coldly, suppressing his anger and saying, "Dean, do you think his apology can make up for our losses? If it weren't for Xiao San and you, I would have just slapped him to death!"
Flender sighed, knowing that Dai Mubai and the others were angry, but he didn't know how to comfort them.
"No! I'm not wrong!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly blurted out.
"What did you say?" Dai Mubai abruptly stood up, white light flickering in his palm, "Are you saying that our current predicament is entirely our own fault!?"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar also looked at Yu Xiaogang with angry expressions.
"Xiaogang, what are you talking about?" Flender quickly stood up, "Mubai, don't get angry yet."
"Teacher, do you think what he's saying is human language?" Ma Hongjun was also furious, "He caused us to be like this, and he still dares to say he's not wrong!"
Yu Xiaogang raised his eyes and stared intently at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, saying, "My training plan was arranged according to your specific circumstances, and it is absolutely correct. I've thought about it for a long time, and I finally understand now: it's the Immortal Herb's fault!"
"You made a mistake and still want to blame others?" Dai Mubai laughed in extreme anger, "Are you trying to say that the Immortal Herb Xiao San gave us also caused problems? That he harmed us? Are you thinking that since Xiao San's reputation is already ruined, you'll push all the problems onto him?"
Flender also frowned, looking at Yu Xiaogang, waiting for Yu Xiaogang's explanation.
