Chapter 78 Even an Xue Beng Requires Death! Two and a Half Years, Level 60!
Read New Boom In Profile..
"The Second Prince is dead too! Qian Renxue has made her move again!"
Dugu Bo stroked his beard, pondering what might happen to the Heaven Dou Empire next.
Dugu Lin pondered along with him, analyzing, "First of all, although the Second Prince was demoted and lost his support in the court... it wouldn't be enough to make him hang himself!"
"That's right, so it was Qian Renxue who did this, no doubt about it!"
"Hmm!" Dugu Lin nodded and continued his analysis, "Qian Renxue has been getting closer to the Spirit Hall in recent years, so she'll definitely become a suspect! Hmm... Grandpa, let's give her a hand!"
How can I help?
"We'll do the opposite: spread the word that Qian Renxue was responsible for the Second Prince's death! Then, we'll stir up trouble by saying that someone deliberately killed the Second Prince to frame Qian Renxue! This will cause a huge uproar, and the bigger the public outcry, the safer Qian Renxue will be! In the end, as long as Qian Renxue isn't caught red-handed, the Second Prince's death will definitely become a miscarriage of justice!"
Is this okay?
"Of course! Moreover, I have a second purpose!"
"A second layer? What other purpose does it have?"
Dugu Lin curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "Grandpa, don't forget who ultimately controlled the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"Xue Beng!"
"That's right! I want to use this incident to make Qian Renxue see in advance that Xue Beng is not a spoiled prince. The Fourth Prince must die!"
"Alright, then we'll do as you say! Grandpa will immediately have someone attack Qian Renxue in the name of the Fourth Prince!"
"Wait! In the name of Prince Xue Xing!"
"Huh? That makes sense. Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng are very close!"
In the time that followed, the situation in Heaven Dou City changed dramatically, and the imperial court was rife with intrigue and turmoil.
Qian Renxue took advantage of the crisis to win over the ministers and consolidate her position, but neglected her cultivation, and her soul power cultivation level slowed down again and again.
...
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there are only three months left until the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies.
Feng Xiaotian cultivated diligently day and night, and finally stood on the same track as Dugu Lin, breaking through to the level 60 soul power level almost one after the other.
"Hiss~~" The little Jade Phosphor Serpent, Little Lin, flicked its tongue at Feng Xiaotian in dissatisfaction. Its cultivation speed was twice that of Dugu Lin, yet it was caught up by an ordinary Soul Master!
Where does this leave his reputation for detached martial souls?
Dugu Lin also admired Feng Xiaotian's seriousness. He devoted almost all his time to cultivation, 365 days a year. He probably even dreamed about cultivating when he slept.
Dugu Yan pouted and glared at him coldly: "How come you two are cultivating so fast? And Feng Xiaotian, why didn't you wait for me? I'm only level 50, and you two are already level 60!"
Feng Xiaotian chuckled sheepishly and gestured to Dugu Lin with his eyes to speak up for him quickly!
Dugu Lin said, "Little Lin, let's go, let's practice backflips."
The man and the snake left just like that... Feng Xiaotian chuckled, "Ha...ha...well...let me explain, when your grandfather saw that I relaxed even a little, he really went all out! A few times he even broke my legs!"
Dugu Yan: "..."
"My grandfather was doing it for your own good! Besides, didn't Lingling cure you?"
"Uh...yes, yes, yes! I know the teacher meant well, but I was interrupted three times! It hurt! So I had to work hard to cultivate...Yanyan..."
"Call me Senior Sister!"
"Yes, senior sister, I can only keep working hard so that I won't fall behind the teacher..."
"Cough cough~~"
At this moment, Dugu Bo walked over, coughed lightly a few times, and seriously changed the subject: "Xiao Feng, what are your thoughts on your sixth spirit ring?"
"Teacher!" Feng Xiaotian's expression immediately changed, and he called out respectfully, then said, "I want a wind-attribute wolf king!"
"The Wolf King? Hmm." Dugu Bo nodded.
"There is a Howling Moon Wolf King in Star Dou Forest, but it is about 60,000 years old, which is a bit too old for you. I have two options: one is to go to Star Dou Forest to search slowly, and the other is to go to the Frozen Forest to find a Snow Shadow Demon Wolf that is less than 30,000 years old! The Snow Shadow Demon Wolf has the attributes of wind and snow, so it is quite good."
After a moment's thought, Feng Xiaotian asked, "Is Senior Sister also going to the Frozen Forest for the fifth ring?"
"Yes, Yan'er is also preparing to choose a Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King that is less than 18,000 years old for her fifth soul ring."
"Then I'll go to the Frozen Forest too."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded and said, "That's good! In the Frozen Forest, there is a pack of Snow Shadow Wolves, and the wolf king is nearly 90,000 years old! If you can absorb the 90,000-year-old wolf king's soul ring in your seventh ring, then your sixth and seventh rings will be from the same kind of soul beast, which may make your sixth soul skill even more powerful!"
"Ninety thousand years? The seventh ring?!" Feng Xiaotian gasped, asking in astonishment, "Teacher, ninety thousand years? Isn't that too exaggerated? I estimate... I can only absorb a spirit ring of sixty-five thousand years at most!"
"Don't worry, I'm fairly confident, though not by much! We'll talk about this later. If all else fails, we still have the Howling Moon Wolf King as a candidate."
"Yes, I believe you, teacher."
"Alright, remember to go back and tell your elders. Hunting the wolf king in the seventh ring is no joke. I can't guarantee that I can take you there alone."
"Thank you, teacher!" Feng Xiaotian expressed his heartfelt gratitude, remembering all the kindness that Dugu Bo and his two grandsons had shown him over the years.
Although sometimes you might get your legs broken, how can a Soul Master train without getting injured?
At just two months shy of 19, a level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor—was this something he could have dreamed of before? Was it something his family and the Shenfeng Academy could have imagined?
Breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm at the age of thirty is something that can be talked about all over the continent!
Dugu Bo waved his hand and instructed, "Just remember, don't let your master down! Otherwise, your master will personally take action to clean up this mess!"
"Disciple has remembered!"
"Alright, this time you'll take Yan'er and the teachers from Shenfeng Academy with you to hunt for spirit rings."
"Yes, do you and Little Lin need any help? My second grandfather is quite capable as well."
"Haha~ No need, your master has already found help."
"Oh~ then my senior sister and I will set off in a couple of days."
"Go, go, take good care of Yan'er."
Feng Xiaotian returned to Shenfeng Academy to organize the Soul Hunting Operation.
Dugu Yan, who was left behind, pouted and asked, "Grandpa, please don't hit Feng Xiaotian anymore."
"What? Feeling sorry for him?"
"What are you saying? I didn't... I just... breaking a leg would affect my cultivation."
"Alright, alright~ Girls grow up and leave home"
"Grandpa! I'm not talking to you anymore!"
In front of Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan habitually acted coquettishly, blushing as she ran away.
"Phew~"
Seeing this, Dugu Bo patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, murmuring, "Luckily, Yan'er doesn't like Qian Renxue! I've been so worried about her these past few years that I haven't been able to sleep!"
