Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 102 The Seventh Divine Trial, Lord of the Five Directions of Purgatory
"Oh? Elder Dugu, what a coincidence to run into you again."

After leaving the underworld, Ning Qiuyang prepared to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he encountered Dugu Bo again outside the school.

"So it's you, kid. You've finally decided to come back. You've taken my granddaughter and Sect Master Ning's daughter away. I hardly ever see them all year round, and you haven't shown your face for years."

Dugu Bo's personality has improved a lot compared to before, and he talks more.

Ning Qiuyang's gaze swept over Dugu Bo twice.

"Elder Dugu, your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few years."

Upon hearing Ning Qiuyang's words, Dugu Bo's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Haha, I must thank you for helping me retrieve the Seven-Section Serpent God Secret Technique of the Dugu family. Not only did it save me from the suffering of poison backlash, but it also greatly improved my strength."

Dugu Bo's soul power has now reached level ninety-four.

Each level of a Title Douluo is a hurdle, and he broke through from level 91 to level 94 in just a few years, a cultivation speed that surpasses that of the vast majority of Title Douluos.

"Congratulations! Elder Dugu, how far have you progressed in your cultivation of the Seven-Section Serpent God Secret Technique?"

Dugu Bo chuckled and released his Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.

Three purplish-black rings were seen encircling the crown on the head of the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, clearly distinct from the nine soul rings encircling the Martial Soul.

"You have actually condensed three poison rings. It seems that Elder Dugu, you are very likely to achieve something unprecedented in the Dugu family: to cultivate the Serpent God Seven-Section Secret Technique to its ultimate level."

Dugu Bo waved his hand repeatedly.

"I would be very satisfied if I could break through to level 95 and become a Super Douluo."

Although he spoke modestly, Dugu Bo looked spirited and even younger than he did a few years ago; his goals now went far beyond that.

Along the way, Dugu Bo talked to Ning Qiuyang about why he was able to condense three poison rings so quickly.

After obtaining the Seven-Section Secret Technique of the Serpent God, he condensed his poison skills into a ring of poison.

After that, Dugu Bo used the Snow Swan Kiss to continuously multiply his own toxins.

He didn't dare to take the Snow Swan Kiss directly. Instead, he released the Jade Serpent King's venom outside his body, multiplied it through the Snow Swan Kiss, and then refined it.

Although this method is slower, it is still better than letting toxins accumulate uncontrollably in the body, to the point that the person is poisoned to death before the toxins can even form a cycle.

"Okay, let's stop here for now."

Upon arriving at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dugu Bo said to Ning Qiuyang:

"Oh, and remember to tell Yanyan to come back and visit more often when she has time."

After saying that, he walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.

It seems that over the past few years, he has developed a strong sense of belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and considers it his own home.

Several years have passed, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remains unchanged.

This is a common situation in the Douluo Continent, where things develop relatively slowly.

"Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, it's been a long time."

After receiving the news, the three came out and met Ning Qiuyang, who had changed a lot since a few years ago.

Unlike the naive boy he once was, Ning Qiuyang, though still a boy, now exudes an aura of authority and is much more mature than his actual age.

"If you don't come back soon, you might forget which way the gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School opens."

Bone Douluo stared wide-eyed.

This kid not only ran away for years, but also abducted their little princess. They could hardly see each other a few times a year, so it would be strange if he gave Ning Qiuyang a kind look.

Ning Qiuyang smiled nonchalantly, "Grandpa Bone, we don't want to disturb you so you can concentrate on your cultivation. Your cultivation level is almost catching up with Grandpa Sword, isn't it?"

Bone Douluo smiled when this was mentioned.

Sword Douluo's breakthrough to level 97 was a huge shock to him, and coupled with Dugu Bo's astonishingly fast cultivation speed, he was even showing signs of catching up with him. Under the pressure from both sides, Bone Douluo also went all out and actually successfully broke through to level 96.

Ning Qiuyang said he was about to catch up with Sword Douluo, which hit right where he was feeling proud.

But Sword Douluo was unhappy.

"Don't talk nonsense. This old man was incredibly lucky to break through to level 96. Want to catch up with me? Maybe in your next life."

He and Bone Douluo had known each other their whole lives, and they had also argued their whole lives. Sword Douluo had always been one step ahead of Bone Douluo, so how could he be willing to be overtaken or even surpassed by Bone Douluo?

Chen Xin wasn't too worried.

After all, the further you go, the harder it is to make progress.

Breaking through to level 96 has already exhausted most of Bone Douluo's accumulated strength over the years. It won't be easy to break through again, and it might not be possible to break through for another ten or twenty years.

Before Bone Douluo could object, Ning Qiuyang spoke first:

"That's not necessarily true. I'm not just here to visit you, but also to ask you for a favor."

Sword Douluo gave a soft snort.

"I knew you wouldn't think of us two old guys if you had nothing else to do."

Sword Douluo taught Ning Qiuyang swordsmanship for a year, and in fact always regarded Ning Qiuyang as his disciple, showing him more affection than Bone Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi, sensing something, suddenly asked:

"Qiuyang, you're not going to kidnap Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, are you?"

"Uh……"

After Ning Qiuyang broke through to level 70 in soul power and absorbed a soul ring, he faced the seventh divine test of the Yin Emperor.

[The Seventh Test of the Underworld Emperor: Many souls have committed many sins; therefore, there are five purgatory realms in the underworld to punish these souls.]

The Five Hells are: the Hell of Freezing Ice, the Hell of Blazing Fire, the Hell of Swords and Blades, the Hell of Ten Thousand Bones, and the Hell of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Five Directions Purgatory needs to be built from scratch, and it is a long task that cannot be accomplished by Ning Qiuyang alone.

The Five Directions Purgatory each contain the divine positions of the five Purgatory Lords, allowing the five inheritors of these divine positions to construct the Purgatory, which also serves as a place for divine trials and inheritance.

Upon seeing the contents of this divine test, Ning Qiuyang immediately thought of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Sword and Blade Purgatory and Ten Thousand Bones Purgatory are perfect for them.

Anyway, since everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is doing the same work whether one person works alone or a group of people work together, they might as well all become their own servants and everyone can have a bright future.

"Uncle Ning has a keen eye; there is indeed a small matter that requires the help of the two grandfathers."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly.

When Ning Qiuyang displayed his unparalleled talent, Ning Fengzhi still hoped that Ning Qiuyang could make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School bigger and stronger, and create new glories.

Before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could grow bigger and stronger, one person after another was lured away by Ning Qiuyang. If this continued, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be hollowed out.

However, Ning Fengzhi was not angry about it.

On the contrary, he was very fortunate that Ning Qiuyang was born in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which not only gave him the opportunity to become a god, but also allowed him to benefit others.

"You, you might as well just empty the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qiuyang's eyes lit up.

"Really? I do have some things that I need your help with, Uncle Ning."

Ning Fengzhi:...

I was just saying it casually, and you actually took it seriously?
Ning Qiuyang: I need oxen and horses, I need more oxen and horses, get them all to work.
