Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

Chapter 109: Bone Stealing
The reason why he chose the Soul Power Holy Tree was not for anything else, but because he was attracted by the wood properties of the Soul Power Holy Tree and the vigorous vitality it possessed.

This can prevent the situation where the martial soul of the child born by Ye Lingling in the future will degenerate into the Nine-Hearted Begonia when the martial soul awakens.

Originally, Ning Chuan could have suggested that Ning Rongrong try to find gem-attribute spirit rings to absorb in the future to prevent her offspring's spirits from degenerating into the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

It’s a pity that this kind of soul beast is too rare. Even if it is found, it may not be suitable for Ning Rongrong, so it is not mentioned much.

After absorbing the Holy Wood Soul Ring of Soul Power for more than 4,700 years, Ye Lingling's soul power did not soar again. It only increased by one level to level 41, which is the normal standard after absorbing a soul ring.

However, with the Xuantian Gong and the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product, her cultivation speed is bound to be faster than before.

Following Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing and Louise also obtained suitable spirit rings.

They are a 1,900-year-old shadow leopard and a 10,000-year-old death thorn.

First of all, it was the Shadow Leopard. Zhu Zhuqing was able to successfully absorb it with the dual assistance of Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, as well as the Black Widow's external soul bone.

It made Zhu Zhuqing's soul power soar directly to level 37, catching up with Ning Chuan in an instant, and also provided her with a soul skill similar to Ning Chuan's third soul skill, Sword Shadow.

Although she couldn't create up to eight clones like Ning Chuan as her spirit rings increased, she only had two fixed clones. However, each clone possessed half the strength of the original and could use spirit ring skills, which was quite good. Once Ning Chuan taught her the distraction control method, I believed Zhu Zhuqing's strength would be able to reach a higher level.

After that, you just need to wait for the fourth soul ring and add a soul ring with strong enough attack power to her.

Then there are the Death Thorns. As a wood-attributed weapon spirit like the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, the Dark Fragrance Sword naturally chooses a wood-attributed soul beast.

The powerful Death Thorn was a perfect match for Louise. Her fifth soul skill, centered around the Dark Fragrance Sword, launched countless palm-sized cones of pink sword light, each possessing a power equal to one-third of her own soul power. This was a ranged attack skill that could also lock onto an opponent, unleashing a concentrated burst of fire for a single-target attack.

It is similar to Dai Mubai's fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, in the original novel. It is an enhanced version of White Tiger Meteor Shower.

With this, Ning Chuan and his group's soul hunting operation was successfully completed.

The group was waiting for Lu Jiansheng and the other two at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Three days later, Lu Jiansheng returned by flying, bringing the two elders of the Anxiangjian family with him.

"It seems that Senior Lu has obtained the ninth spirit ring."

This was the first sentence Ning Chuan said after seeing Lu Jiansheng.

"Haha, I'm pretty lucky. I encountered a 70,000-year-old saber-toothed demon tiger deep in the Star Dou Great Forest. I also got a torso bone. I'm giving it to you."

Lu Jiansheng smiled and threw out a white torso bone that exuded a bloody and ferocious aura.

This could be considered as a way to repay Ning Chuan for helping him break through to the Titled Douluo realm. It would also help to deepen the relationship between the two parties.

Ning Chuan took it and gave it to Louise without even looking at it. "Teacher, take it and absorb it. This soul bone is not suitable for me."

This made Lu Jiansheng and the three elders of the Anxiangjian family stunned.

Louise accepted it, not refusing as she had before. Now, although they were still master and disciple, their relationship was stronger than before, and there was no need to make such a clear distinction.

After a brief moment of shock, Lu Jiansheng said, "We are going back to our family. Do you want to come with us?"

"Senior, aren't you going to the Spirit Hall to get a title?" Ning Chuan said with some surprise.

Lu Jiansheng shook his head and said, "Fame is insignificant to me. Besides, the situation on the mainland is unpredictable. My Anxiangjian family has always been focused on inheritance. There is no need for us to get involved in the right and wrong on the mainland." Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan expressed his understanding. After all, sometimes being too high-profile is not a good thing. It is easy to be targeted. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan in the original work is the best example.

Although they did not participate in the struggle between the Spirit Hall and the two empires, nor did they jump up and down in front of the Spirit Hall like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, they were wiped out by the Spirit Hall because they were unwilling to submit to either side and were strong enough.

Of course, the anus definitely deserves credit for this!

Ning Chuan said: "In that case, I have something to ask of you, Senior."

"You have done me a great favor, so feel free to say it. Even if it means marrying Louise to you, that's fine." For the latter sentence, Lu Jiansheng used soul power to transmit the voice directly to Louise and Ning Chuan's minds.

Ning Chuan replied, "When I become a Titled Douluo in the future, I will marry you."

Ning Chuan's mental strength now already meets the conditions for soul power transmission.

The conversation between the two made Louise blush. Fortunately, they were communicating through soul power, otherwise Louise would have to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Ahem!" Ning Chuan coughed lightly and said, "The Soul Master Competition will begin in about a year and a half. I would like you to guide us in our training during this period. By the way, come with me to get something."

With Lu Jiansheng as the Titled Douluo, he no longer has to worry about being killed by Tang Ritian at the Soul Master Competition.

As for what he wanted to take, it was even simpler: the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, and the Blue Silver Emperor itself.

We can't let that old rat bully us again.

"I think it's a big deal. No problem, leave it to me." Lu Jiansheng agreed without hesitation.

"Teacher, you don't have to stay in Notting College anymore. Come with me to Tiandou Royal College and be our team leader." Ning Chuan looked at Louise.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But I still need to talk to Dean Geno." Louise naturally didn't want to be separated from Ningchuan again.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." To go find the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, we definitely can't bring so many people with us. Lu Jiansheng is enough.

That evening, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong returned to Notting College with Louise. After Louise told the dean that she was leaving, although they felt deeply sorry, they did not stop her.

After all, everyone has their own path to follow.

Ning Chuan and Lu Jiansheng came to the vicinity of Shenghun Village. He first pinched himself hard to test whether the old rat was there.

This went on for three days. Every time Ning Chuan found an area, he would use a different method to cause himself insignificant side effects to confirm whether the old rat was there.

Then look for the Blue Silver Emperor and soul bones.

Of course, Ningchuan didn't just look for it randomly, but specifically looked for places with waterfalls.

Finally, Ningchuan succeeded in binding in an area several thousand meters above a waterfall.

[Binding successful! 】

After the binding was successful, all the stinging pain in Ning Chuan's body disappeared. He said to Lu Jiansheng, "Senior, let's hide first."
