Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

Page 353

The Spirit Ascension Platform is a simulated Star Dou Great Forest layer, not a challenge space like the Soul Spirit Tower. Each soul beast requires a long search.

Xu Yuan's kill efficiency and search efficiency are already excellent.

After all, he had been hunting for seven consecutive days, and the total number of soul beasts over five thousand years old was limited. Xu Yuan was essentially running through the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform every seven days, and those three days of rest were not only for himself, but also for the Spirit Ascension Platform.

After six rounds, 600,000 years of spiritual power was distributed among Xu Yuan's sixteen spirit rings, with each spirit ring's lifespan increasing by nearly 40,000 years.

Unfortunately, even with such a huge improvement, none of Xu Yuan's souls have broken through the 100,000-year mark.

Moreover, it is still quite a distance from 100,000 years. The age limit of Huanxing is the highest, but even with the 40,000 years increase this time, it is only 70,000 years.

Even so, Xu Yuan's soul enhancement can be described as doubling.

And it's not doubled.

Yao Yao, Jue, and the paper spirits and mountains and rivers all saw their profits triple or even quadruple.

The growth of the soul naturally led to an increase in Xu Yuan's spiritual power.

Two months ago, Xu Yuan's suppressed heart was relieved, and his mental energy was loosened. After entering the Spirit Ascension Platform for the first time, he completed the breakthrough and entered the high-level of the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Each of the five subsequent upgrades at the Spirit Ascension Platform was like a complete transformation for Xu Yuan.

Now, after two whole months, Xu Yuan's mental strength has increased by a full two thousand points!

At this rate of efficiency, if it continues, it will probably take half a year to reach the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, and there is always the possibility of breaking through to the Spirit Domain Realm.

Of course, that's not how it works; rapid growth has led to a sense of unease about the power dynamics.

At the same time, and most importantly, Xu Yuan has already consumed too much spiritual energy in the past two months.

Chapter 413 The Situation of the Spirit Pagoda (Please Subscribe!!!)

In two months, Xu Yuan consumed a full six hundred thousand years' worth of spiritual energy.

This would be an enormous number for any Soul Master.

Even a titled Douluo, after absorbing so many years' worth of spiritual energy, can guarantee that all nine of his spirit rings will be upgraded to over 60,000 years.

A nine-ring titled Douluo can improve their spirit ring by an average of over 60,000 years!

If any of the original souls were 40,000 years old, there would definitely be a chance to accumulate them to the limit of 100,000 years.

As long as the current state remains the same as the thousand-year limit, there is no problem in advancing to the hundred-thousand-year limit by chance!

Are souls that have been around for 40,000 years rare?

This is considered normal among titled Douluo.

This shows just how enormous the spiritual energy Xu Yuan absorbed this time was.

It can be said that the large amount of spiritual energy he absorbed this time, and the need for Tianhai City to replenish this spiritual energy, indirectly affected Xu Shengqun's power struggle.

At first, Xu Shengqun was in a very passive position, but some changes occurred, and the resulting series of disputes led Xu Shengqun to gradually turn the tables and take the initiative, quickly extending his reach to the research institute.

"Uncle, you're moving way too fast!" Xu Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

He only just learned about this news himself.

Xu Shengqun waved his hand and smiled, as if these were just basic operations.

"Actually, it's still thanks to you. The people behind me were caught off guard and came to me one by one to ask for details. I didn't say that you were cultivating, but just said that you were doing research and had made a breakthrough in the technology to improve the quality of spiritual energy."

Xu Yuan suddenly realized.

Good fortune lies within the shadow of misfortune, and misfortune lies within the shadow of good fortune.

Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined; they always appear together.

Although Xu Yuan absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy this time, putting Xu Shengqun on the defensive, Xu Shengqun used the results of this absorption to turn the tables and seize power more quickly.

"By the way, Gu Yue has also made her move, or more accurately, Leng Yaozhu has made her move. Now the entire Spirit Pagoda is divided into four parts."

"Four points?"

Xu Yuan was taken aback.

What's going on with these four forces?

"One side is naturally the current direct line of Qian Gu Dong Feng, then it is my side, Leng Yao Zhu and Gu Yue belong to the other side, and finally it is the joint formation of the branches of Tian Dou and Xing Luo continents."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The two branches have actually joined forces and seem to be trying to establish their own independent regimes?

"Actually, we don't need to worry about those two branches. This is a situation that occurs in power struggles throughout history." Xu Shengqun didn't seem to care. He explained to Xu Yuan simply, "Due to the geographical location of the two small continents, it's difficult for our Federation to establish direct communication with them. They can only be one entity under complete centralized control. Once a power struggle occurs internally, the branches on the two small continents will first unite and watch the tigers fight from the sidelines. Only after a true victor is determined on our side, or after we have a general understanding of the situation, will they be reintegrated into the Spirit Pagoda."

To put it bluntly, this is not actually a decision made by the two continents, but rather a decision made by both continents.

The Heaven Dou Continent and the Star Luo Continent have never really cared much about the internal struggles within the Spirit Pagoda. What they care about is that such struggles will not affect the supply of soul spirits for the soul masters on both continents.

Therefore, whenever a conflict occurs within the Spirit Pagoda, these two branches naturally detach themselves and do not participate in the struggle.

After all, their geographical location is superior. Even with the most advanced navigation technology, it would take at least one or two months to reach the Star Luo Continent or the Tian Dou Continent from the Federation. Under such circumstances, they have the right to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

"Similarly, due to their geographical location, it is difficult for them to invest before the outcome is decided. They can only passively wait for the new tower master of the Spirit Pagoda to appear and then join us. As for the managers of the branches, they can only be redeployed by the headquarters later."

This is always the case.

Xu Yuan understood.

"So it's actually a three-way power struggle. Although Qian Gu Dongfeng's reputation has declined, he still firmly holds the core power. Plus, his side has the most Limit Douluos, so his power is still relatively stable for the time being."

Xu Yuan listened quietly to Xu Shengqun's analysis.

"Then there's our side, which consists of me, three other Spirit Transmission Envoys, and the Win-Win Faction. On the surface, I'm the only one with ultimate combat power, but in reality, the Win-Win Faction should have a veteran ultimate combatant."

Besides, the win-win faction is deeply entrenched within the Spirit Tower and wields considerable influence. Combined with the technical hints I released recently, we'll temporarily rank second.

"Finally, there's Leng Yaozhu's side. The two deputy tower masters are cooperating with each other. Leng Yaozhu is a demigod and a four-word battle armor master. The other deputy tower master is of the same level, but he doesn't usually participate in the power struggles within the Spirit Pagoda. He only obtained the position of deputy tower master because he comes from the Spirit Pagoda and has strong talent. Now he has been won over by Leng Yaozhu and is considered to be supporting Gu Yue."

Xu Yuan frowned and raised his doubts.

"So, who's behind Leng Yaozhu and the others? Just two Limit Douluos and a four-word Battle Armor Master?"

"They didn't win over the established forces within the Spirit Pagoda, but rather the various families that cooperate with the Spirit Pagoda, forming a community of shared interests."

Xu Yuan understood.

In other words, the soul beasts in the original story also supported Gu Yue as a family, thus exerting their power.

“I’ve also temporarily taken charge of the research institute, but it’s still based on the breakthrough in spiritual energy technology, so that’s where I’m involved. I can’t arrange the identity you want for researching abyssal power for the time being, but it shouldn’t be long.” Xu Shengqun recalled, “If I remember correctly, your father also communicated with the person in charge of this field back then. I’ll try to see if I can go through that line.”

"No rush, I still have some things to take care of," Xu Yuan said.

Xu family.

"Xiao Tian, ​​remember to cultivate diligently."

In two months, Xu Tian's soul power broke through to the first level, and is now at the sixteenth level.

This made Xu Yuan intensify his marksmanship training considerably.

With Xu Yuan's training, Xu Tian's foundation has already taken shape, and Xu Shengqun can now smoothly take over Xu Tian's training.

Leave Tianhai City.

Xu Yuan did not return to Shrek Academy.

He headed towards Tiandou City.

Midway through his journey, he passed through Moonflower City.

Yuehua Sect.

"It's rare that my little brother still remembers his sister Yue." Yue Rushuang looked at Xu Yuan and said with a smile.

"Isn't it because you're about to break through, Sister Yue, that I'm worried I'll disturb you?" Xu Yuan said awkwardly.

When Xu Yuan visited the Moonflower Sect last time, he absorbed the Moonflower Power here and communicated with the stars in the sky for the first time. His spiritual power improved, but what really improved was the perfection of his Starry Sky Visualization Technique, which laid the foundation for his subsequent spiritual power cultivation and Xu Shengqun's breakthrough.

"Alright, Sister Yue knows you're busy with your cultivation, so I won't tease you anymore. Is there anything I can help you with this time?"

Seeing this, Xu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated his needs.

"It's like this, I want to invite Sister Yue to help my uncle compete for the position of Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower."

Xu Yuan got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Yue Rushuang seemed to have anticipated this, her expression changing only slightly before returning to calm.

"Little brother, you need to know that I don't represent just one person."

“I know, but my uncle isn’t alone. Let me put it this way, Sister Yue, I can already do Soul Forging.” Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Yue Rushuang's gaze sharpened.

She stared intently at Xu Yuan and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "You've already mastered Soul Forging?"

“This is my work.” Xu Yuan took out a piece of jade silver that had been forged by the soul.

Yue Rushuang stared intently at the jade silver in Xu Yuan's hand, her gaze fixed on it.
