Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 89 The Arrangement of the Poison That Couldn't Kill (Please continue reading!!!)
This is a 100,000-year-old soul bone, and a top-grade secret technique soul bone at that.

Su Ming wasn't just making things up; this soul bone might actually still retain the characteristics of a secret soul bone. He could use a top-grade soul bone with either light or holy attributes to neutralize its evil attributes.

If he fuses with this soul bone, it's equivalent to having an extra 100,000-year soul bone in the position of his torso bone. While an ordinary soul master can fuse with one torso bone, he can fuse with two!
Su Ming was heartbroken.

"Is it possible that because my martial soul is too outstanding, I am going to miss out on such a top-quality 100,000-year soul bone?"

Du Bu Si looked at his disciple, speechless.

"Actually, your martial soul is no different from that of an evil soul master; the disadvantages are so great that they have become advantages."

Su Ming remained silent.

No, teacher, how could you say that?
The apprentice will be heartbroken.

"Alright, I will study it further and see if I can help you clear away the evil energy. I will also keep an eye out for the light or holy attribute soul bones you mentioned, but now is not the time for you to absorb soul bones."

Poison Undying waved his hand.

Su Ming reminded him that he realized the value of the soul bone, so even though he knew that Mu En had tricked him, he still did not go back to return it.

Moreover, his hidden gains this time were considerable. Through the battle, he learned about Moon's condition. Moon's remaining lifespan was almost exhausted after this attack, and he would probably pass away in a year.

"Even if you have a rudimentary soul core, your soul power is still improving towards a higher quality. You will definitely condense a second soul core before level 50. When you are about to condense a second soul core, you can fuse these two soul bones."

Su Ming understood what "poison cannot kill" meant.

This was intended to allow him to fuse with this soul bone when he condenses his second soul core, thus helping him break through the bottleneck.

The current fusion will only accelerate the process of him condensing his second soul core, but it will not provide any substantial help to him in condensing his second soul core.

On the contrary, when he naturally grows to the point where he needs to condense a second soul core, the bonuses provided by this top-grade secret soul bone will help him condense a second soul core.

Because of the existence of the first soul core, Su Ming doesn't need to worry about the soul power boost from the secret technique soul bone causing his soul power to solidify instantly. He can use this boost to greatly accelerate the condensation speed of the second soul core.

Without considering the complementary Yin-Yang dual soul cores, the difficulty for him to condense a second soul core would be greatly reduced.

The biggest challenge of the second soul core in the same position resonance is that it takes a lot of time to cultivate the second soul power vortex and finally compete with the first soul core for the core position of soul power operation. With the secret soul bone, and even a second soul bone, the difficulty for Su Ming to get through these two stages will be greatly reduced.

“Lei Zhen, Ba Bi, you two should return to Gengxin City. Spirit metal is spreading, and public opinion has started to ferment recently. The Blacksmith Association will not be at peace.”

"Good!" ×2
After Lei Zhen and Ba Bi left, Du Busi looked at Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.

His eyes flickered as he looked at the two Super Douluo elders.

"Elders, take Xiaoming and Susu Luoluo back to the sect. I will go to Tiandou City to help Susu Luoluo pay off her compensation."

"Teacher, are you going alone?"

Su Ming still wanted to go see a play.

"Go back to Snow Demon Mountain and pack your things properly to prepare for going home. Your grandfather is urging you to return."

"what?"

Su Ming knew that Du Busi had previously gone to the Sun Moon Empire to recruit new disciples with their original martial souls. Su Can had told him to go back, but Du Busi hadn't told him about it before.

"You're already eleven years old. Your grandfather plans to send you to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for further studies, and then into the Mingde Hall. It's a gathering place for advanced soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire, and the overall atmosphere is quite good. I also think you should get in touch with the Mingde Hall. This time, we received a promise of unconditional support from Shrek Academy for the future. If you also act as a go-between at the Mingde Hall, the Blacksmith Association's legal rights in the Sun Moon Empire can be guaranteed. With legal rights, the sect can actually establish a branch there openly and legitimately."

Su Ming felt pressured after listening to Du Bu Si's long speech.

"Actually, it's not difficult. There's still a year until the next Soul Master Competition. After you enroll, your grandfather will use the Su family's connections. With your talent, it won't be difficult to get into the team for this competition. What you need to do is play a key role in the competition and lead the Sun Moon Royal Team to win their first championship."

"Is this enough?"

“Of course not. During the competition, you also need to gain a voice within the Sun Moon Royal Team. Then, the association will contact you after you have a voice, cooperate with the Sun Moon Empire, and establish an association within Sun Moon territory.” After explaining his idea, Poison Undying looked at Su Ming.

Su Ming did not object.

He thought the plan was excellent.

It was not difficult for him.

After giving his instructions, Du Busi set off alone for Tiandou City.

Su Ming observed a moment of silence for the Lord of Tiandou City.

I wonder if the two million gold soul coins will actually be credited to their account.

Shrek Academy.

Poseidon Pavilion.

Moon curled up on the recliner, his imposing presence from the battle gone.

At this point, he was an old man nearing the end of his life.

"Mr. Mu."

"teacher."

The elders all looked at Mu En with worried expressions.

When the Body Sect came to cause trouble, Mu En went all out, and it was clear to everyone that Mu En was already exhausted.

"This conflict has come to an end. The situation with the Body Sect has been temporarily resolved. The Golden Ancient Tree's trump card has been exposed this time. I won't hide it from you all. Every Sea God Pavilion Master merges his power into the Golden Ancient Tree after his death. This is also our academy's trump card. I will do the same in a year."

"One year?"

The expressions of Yan Shaozhe and the other elders changed drastically.

"After Xuanzi returns, let him stay at the academy. With his strength and the foundation of the Golden Ancient Tree, at least the area within the academy is safe. Shao Zhe, you all must also work hard to cultivate."

Yan Shaozhe nodded.

The three most senior elders, Lin, Song, and Zhuang, had solemn expressions.

They are the oldest in terms of seniority and age, and their current rank is basically at its limit. Therefore, they will feel even more powerless in the face of Moon's impending death and Shrek losing its greatest guardian.

"The main purpose of this meeting is to inform you of my situation. You can now begin your preparations. If you have anything else to say, we can discuss it together today."

Lin Huiqun took a deep breath and said, "Elder Mu, I originally had something to report."

She will bring out the spirit metal she encountered at the Star Luo City auction.

“This piece of spirited metal is what I obtained at the Starlight Auction. A total of nine pieces of spirited metal of the same level appeared at the auction, all of which were full of spiritual energy.”

Moon held the spirit metal in his hand, carefully feeling the difference in the metal.

"Has the auction house disclosed who conducted the auction?"

"It was consigned for auction on the day of the auction. Xingluo doesn't know much about the other party's true identity, but one thing is certain: the other party is a Soul Master!"

Upon hearing that the person auctioning this spirit metal was a Soul Master, Mu En's face darkened.

　The timeline has been slightly changed, and the plot has been roughly polished. For a better reading experience, the protagonist's age at the three time points is the same as the protagonist of the three books. Huo Yuhao appears at age eleven. The protagonist of Douluo Continent II spends half a year at the Blacksmith Association before the auction, then prepares to go to Xingluo City. During this time, he keeps an eye on Huo Yuhao while waiting for the auction. Half a year later, the auction arrives, and he discovers that Huo Yuhao has run away. The rest of the plot remains the same as before.
