Chapter 179 The Fourth Test of Asura God Completed
Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Xingyu, how did you find out my identity? Is your family's intelligence system so powerful? My identity is very secretive! Even in the Spirit Hall, no one knows it except for some Titled Douluo and a few followers."
"Of course I didn't get it from my family's intelligence system. If we had such a strong intelligence system, we would have unified Douluo Continent long ago. Do you believe me when I say it's a feeling? The first time I saw you, my sixth sense told me that you must be a disguise. Your true face must be a beauty, and you will be my little beauty in the future!"
After Zhuang Xingyu finished his joke, he was about to say that he discovered it through his self-created soul skill "Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils" but was suddenly interrupted by Qian Renxue.
(It's just the name, not at the level of Sun Wukong)
Qian Renxue nodded vigorously, and said with starry eyes: "I believe it! When I first saw you, I had a very special and intimate feeling. I think this is fate!"
"Ah, haha, yes, yes." Zhuang Xingyu was a little amused. Since she thought so, then let her think so.
"Oh, by the way, Xue'er, the strength of the Tiandou royal family has grown rapidly in recent years, with two Super Douluo and one ordinary titled Douluo born in succession. You are now only protected by three low-level Titled Douluo, not even a Super Douluo. It's too dangerous. I think you should ask your grandfather for another title, or go directly to Dongzheng Mountain to the east of Tiandou City for help if you have any problems. It is now my family's military base."
Qian Renxue chuckled, "Don't worry, my husband, three titles are enough. I also have the combat power of an ordinary title. Even if I am discovered by the Xue family's group of small soldiers and crab generals, I can escape unscathed.
Besides, I won't be discovered! I have been giving Xue Ye a variety of chronic poisons since last year. Now his health is getting worse day by day. He will die in four years at most. When the situation gets serious, you can intervene as the Prince of Qi and help me stabilize the situation. Then we can take over the Tiandou Empire!"
Zhuang Xingyu nodded, "It's good that you have a plan, but I'm afraid that someone can crack the poison you used. I have a chronic poison that will kill Xue Ye within three years, and no one in the world will be able to find out anything unusual. It will be completely unnoticed, and others will only think that Xue Ye died of natural causes.
Go back and stop using the original poison, and replace it with my medicine," Zhuang Xingyu then took out a poison that he had specially prepared. Except for the creatures who had taken the detoxification pill, no one below the god level could discover and resist the power of this medicine!
Qian Renxue took the medicine, "Okay! Do as my husband says. Speaking of this, I remembered that Xue Yi and Xue Er, the two 95-level Titled Douluo who suddenly appeared beside Xue Ye, were too special. They wore black robes all day long and were wrapped tightly. In addition to protecting Xue Ye, they only practiced seclusion. The aura on their bodies was not like that of a human, but more like a corpse.
You should have heard of the Xue family's treasure. According to my investigation, in the 1-year history of the Xue family, whenever the Xue family was strong, there were 3 to 95 level 60 Title Douluo around the emperor, but these Title Douluo, after they appeared, had an average lifespan of only years. They also had the same clothing, body shape and weight.
But the Xue family did a very good job of keeping this secret. It has always been passed down orally by emperors of all generations, and only passed on to successors before their death. I have never found out what their family treasure is.
According to my guess, it should be a treasure that can be continuously produced and can quickly upgrade soul masters to level 95. However, it will take hundreds of years to produce three treasures at the fastest, and the side effects are very serious, such as: life span is only 3 years after taking it, disfigurement, etc. "
Zhuang Xingyu thought of the puppet he had made, Zhuang Shushen, and thought, "What you said makes sense, but I think it is also possible that it is a puppet that can be continuously charged. Puppets are similar to soul guides such as the Desert Eagle made by my family. The mechanism is the same, but the energy release form and control method are different.
If that's the case, then there's no need to worry too much about Xue Yi and Xue Er. With Xue Ye's strength, controlling two Super Douluo puppets will definitely consume a huge amount of energy and he won't be able to use them for a long time.
So, try to find out as much as you can, and put your own safety first. Don't worry if you can't find out anything. Before Xue Ye dies, he will naturally tell you, the prince, everything."
Qian Renxue stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhuang Xingyu goodbye, "That makes sense, I thought so too. Then I will go back to Tiandou Palace first. Remember to come to Tiandou City to find me in 5 days."
"Don't worry, don't forget."
……
"Report, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has come out of Prince Qi's Palace." The shadow guard who had been observing outside Prince Qi's Palace hurriedly told his master, Emperor Xue Ye, the news that Xue Qinghe had come out.
"What was the specific situation? Who sent him out? What actions did he take? What signals did he send?" Xue Ye hurriedly asked a series of questions.
"Your Majesty, it was the Duke of Yin Yang Bao Zhuang Xingyu who brought the prince out. The two of them were talking and laughing, and regarded each other as close friends. The King of Qi and His Majesty Zhuang Jingxi did not show up."
Xue Ye heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Hurry up and inform the prince to come to the palace to see me."
Since ancient times, the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor has been very delicate. The emperor must delegate power to train the crown prince, but he cannot delegate too much power to prevent the crown prince from becoming too powerful and having the idea of rebellion.
It is difficult to control how much power to delegate. Too little is not good, as it will lead to an unstable foundation for the crown prince, who will not be able to control his subordinates after he succeeds to the throne; too much is even worse, but sometimes the emperor is helpless and has to give power when the situation calls for it.
Especially if the crown prince privately contacts forces outside the empire, or has close contact with ministers who hold military power in the court, this is a taboo! In the history of the Tiandou Empire, there are many cases of crown princes rebelling and ascending the throne early.
Especially someone like Xue Qinghe, who had clearly reported that he was seeing Zhuang Xingyu off, but he didn't come out for two days and didn't send any information. Xue Ye didn't dare to send anyone in to investigate.
Xue Ye kept speculating on various possibilities in his mind, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has been staying in Prince Qi's mansion for a long time. It is obvious that the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan does not want to harm Xue Qinghe. There is no need for this!"
"If the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan really wants to kill my Tiandou Imperial Family, wouldn't it be simpler and more effective to attack me, Xue Ye, directly? I have been in contact with Zhuang Jingxing and others for a long time, and the fighting power of Shadow One and Shadow Two cannot stop Zhuang Jingxing. The Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan has too many opportunities to capture Xue Ye. There is no need to attack a prince who has not yet succeeded to the throne."
“Could it be that the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan sees that the Tiandou Imperial Family is becoming increasingly powerful under my leadership, especially in recent days, and has shown a very tough attitude towards the outside world, and feels that this threatens the interests of the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan?
But the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan is now in a honeymoon period with my royal family, and both sides have many common interests. They need a stable royal family to help them fight against the Spirit Hall and the Xiwei God Cult; they need a stable Tiandou Empire to further improve the Mission Pavilion, further sell soul guides, and further develop the Jidao Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan planned to support the Crown Prince to take the throne ahead of time and put me under house arrest!"
The more Xue Ye thought about it, the more it made sense. He couldn't help but suspect that although the second son Xue Qinghe had always been filial and gentle on the surface, he was not the eldest son, but he was able to defeat the other princes and become the crown prince. He must be a ruthless person! Xue Ye had gone through the same thing in the past.
"Ouch, my head! It starts to hurt again. Shadow Guard, come quickly and give me a massage!" Xue Ye suddenly howled like a ghost. His headache came back and it felt like needles were pricking his head. He looked listless and couldn't muster any energy.
"Don't, don't touch it! Take your hands away from me! Oh my God, my headache is getting worse and worse."
After a while, Xue Ye asked the shadow guard to stop massaging and sat there motionless. If he moved, his brain would feel like it was being torn apart; if he touched his scalp, his brain and the top of his head would seem to be separated and swing in opposite directions. No medicine worked.
Xue Ye didn't have the time to think about whether the prince had any intention of rebelling. It would take time for the prince to rebel, and he was almost dying of pain now.
His first reaction was that some unruly people wanted to harm him, but after asking the imperial doctors to check, no signs of poisoning were found. The diagnosis was gout, which was caused by irregular work and rest, excessive mental exhaustion, and overwork.
Xue Ye thought that it was the backlash of his mental power caused by his own over-control of two level 95 puppets, and did not think at all that it was the prince who poisoned him.
.........
Zhuang Xingyu rushed all the way to the City of Slaughter.
"They say that the land of pleasure is the home of heroes. This is indeed true. After two days of non-stop work, I actually experienced what it feels like to be tired. It took me a full hour's rest to get back to my peak! It seems that I have to be restrained in the future. I have to rest for an hour after every day of work. Only in this way can I be indestructible!" Zhuang Xingyu sighed with a look of Versailles on his face.
Arriving at the Shura God inheritance site and standing under the Shura God statue, Zhuang Xingyu released his aura, and the Four Domains Fusion Technique: Chaos Dao Wave also appeared.
After the Shura God statue sensed Zhuang Xingyu's breath, it swept out a soft light, covering Zhuang Xingyu's whole body, checking the completion of the four-domain fusion technique of the fourth test task.
Then, a shadow floated out from the statue of Shura God. It was the consciousness of Shura God left in the inheritance site. "Congratulations, Zhuang Xingyu. At the age of 14, you have created an unprecedented four-domain fusion skill and completed the task ahead of schedule. I now declare that your fourth Shura God test is officially completed!
A divinely bestowed soul ring is awarded, and the intimacy with Asura God is increased by 25%! Now the fifth test of Asura God is released: win the championship of the elite competition of advanced soul masters academy in the whole continent!
Xingyu, this time's reward is a little special compared to the past. You have to explore it carefully and don't let me down."
Zhuang Xingyu bowed slightly and saluted the Asura God's phantom, "Yes, disciple, I will obey your command. Thank you, Master!"
A golden bead also floated into Zhuang Xingyu's hands.
Zhuang Xingyu broke the beads with ease. This time he wanted to challenge his limits again and strive to increase the age of his soul ring to one million years when he has the eighth soul ring in the future.
In an instant, a complete stream of Asura God's power popped out from the bead.
Zhuang Xingyu said secretly, "Oh, so the special thing that Master said is this time's God-given soul ring, the difficulty has increased a bit. Under normal circumstances, the God-given soul ring is the transformed mortal soul power injected by the gods, so that the divine examiner can directly absorb it, because the divine power is too much pressure on ordinary soul masters, and they cannot absorb it. Even the Super Douluo can only borrow it roughly.
This time, the divine soul ring contains a complete power of the Shura God. My master asked me to transform it into soul power and absorb it myself. In this way, the quality of the soul power will be enhanced, and the corresponding combat power will be greatly improved.
This is good, because in this way, Master can pass the throne to me as soon as possible and give me more rewards openly without being caught by other gods.
After all, the God Realm has many regulations regarding the inheritance of the throne by gods. For example, the rewards for the God Test cannot be too outrageous. However, if the heir's affinity for the throne exceeds 100%, the rewards can be appropriately increased."
However, Shura God underestimated Zhuang Xingyu. It was just a divine power without root. Zhuang Xingyu decided to absorb it directly and control it easily!
Zhuang Xingyu drew in this divine power and began to absorb it. A powerful pressure surged out, attacking Zhuang Xingyu like a flood.
Zhuang Xingyu felt the power of this force, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit. He closed his eyes tightly, mobilized the soul power of his whole body, and started a fierce collision with the divine power that poured into his body, gradually eroding this divine power.
As time went by, Zhuang Xingyu absorbed more and more divine power, and his entire body was dyed dark red. His body also began to undergo subtle changes, his muscles became stronger and stronger, and his bones made crisp sounds, as if they were being reshaped.
Then, Zhuang Xingyu mobilized the absorbed divine power and began to condense it into his seventh soul ring, with a starting age of 45 years.
After countless impacts and fusions, Zhuang Xingyu successfully condensed 1/3 of his divine power into the seventh soul ring. At this moment, he felt as if he had merged with the entire world, and both the spiritual power and soul power between heaven and earth were constantly converging towards him.
30, 35, 50... It didn't stop until 85 years, and the soul ring with seven golden patterns was officially attached to Zhuang Xingyu.
Zhuang Xingyu's soul power is also increasing rapidly, like a wild horse running free, from level 30, level 71, all the way to level 74 and a half! The 85-year soul ring, with such a huge amount of energy, only increased Zhuang Xingyu's soul power by 4.5 levels. This shows how amazing the quality of Zhuang Xingyu's soul power and the capacity of his meridians are!
After absorbing the seventh soul ring, Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao also reached the 7th level.
Zhuang Xingyu opened his eyes, and his pupils were shining with bright light, as deep and unfathomable as the sea of stars.
Clenching his fists, a crackling sound was heard, and Zhuang Xingyu said inwardly, "Without using the Chaos Orb fragments, I am invincible below the God level; if I go all out, I am also invincible below level 103! After all, the tenth soul ring is the biggest bottleneck in the soul master system, and the gap between gods at each level is greater than the gap between super Douluo."
"With my fighting power, what are you waiting for? I can't be low-key at all. No one can stand above me in this Douluo Continent.
Planning must be done in advance, why wait until you become a god?
After I win the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition and complete the fifth test, I will directly start a war to unify the Douluo Continent! The world will be unified!"
