Chapter 79 Double Rewards
[Ding! Key event check-in successful! "Dawn of Triumph" - In the highly anticipated battle, you defeated the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team with an underdog victory, triggering a major milestone reward!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Soul Contract Secret Technique - Upgraded Version!]
[Reward Description: Soul Contract Secret Technique - Upgraded Version. Allows Soul Masters to establish an equal soul symbiosis contract with intelligent Soul Beasts (usually requiring over ten thousand years of cultivation, or special Soul Beasts with innate extraordinary intelligence). A Soul Master's Martial Soul can only establish a unique, natal soul symbiosis contract with one Soul Beast throughout their lifetime.]
After a successful contract is formed, the spirit becomes the spirit master's current spirit ring.
From this point on, all subsequent Soul Rings of a Soul Master will no longer require hunting. With the help of the Soul Spirit, they can automatically condense into the maximum age Soul Ring they can currently withstand when their cultivation breaks through. Their Soul Skills originate from the fusion of the Soul Spirit and the Martial Soul's characteristics.
Soul Beast Communication Technique: Allows you to communicate with a soul beast through mental means, and the higher the intelligence of the soul beast, the better the effect.
Soul Spirit Form: The natal soul spirit can freely switch between a fully physical form and a soul ring dwelling form. The physical form has a complete body and combat power that is no different from when it was alive, and can fight independently, but it will consume the soul master's soul power when fighting.
Shared destiny: The life of a Soul Master is connected to that of a Soul Spirit. As the Soul Master's cultivation level increases, the Soul Spirit's essence will also be nourished and sublimated.
Departure and Return: If a Soul Master dies, their soul will be forcibly separated due to the broken contract, resurrecting as an independent Soul Beast in reality. However, they will lose most of the cultivation bonuses from the contract, and their soul will also be damaged. If a Soul Master is "killed" during materialization, its soul core will revert to its Soul Ring, entering a long period of slumber. It will require a large amount of Soul Power from the Soul Master to gradually recover, during which time the corresponding Soul Ring skills will be unusable.
[Ding! Key event check-in successful! "Benevolent Exorcism" - On the battlefield, set aside past grievances and heal Dugu Yan, who is trapped in a desperate situation of martial soul backlash, triggering a rare hidden reward!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: The Elixir Scripture (Douluo Continent Adapted Version)!]
[Reward Description: The Alchemy Manual (Douluo Continent Adapted Version) is a supreme alchemy technique that integrates alchemy philosophy with the soul power laws and characteristics of rare and precious materials in Douluo Continent. It includes "The Chapter on Controlling Fire" and "The True Explanation of Alchemy Recipes." By learning this manual, one can collect or cultivate medicinal herbs, using soul power as a guide to refine pills with various effects, assisting in cultivation, healing, detoxification, breakthroughs, and even the evolution of martial souls. Note: Alchemy requires an alchemy furnace, a stable environment, and precise control over soul power. The effects of the pills are affected by the quality of the medicinal herbs and the alchemist's skill.]
Yan Zu was overjoyed. The Soul Contract Technique would be of great use in alleviating the conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts in the future. Furthermore, if he could obtain the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring in the future, the alchemy manual could make their effects even more powerful.
Stepping out of the Great Soul Arena, night had fallen, and moonlight bathed the streets, carrying a touch of coolness. Xiao Wu skipped excitedly to Yan Zu's side: "Zu, you're amazing! Not only did you win the match, but you also saved Dugu Yan!"
Ning Rongrong proudly said, "That's right! Don't you know whose ancestor she is! But that Jade Serpent venom was quite frightening, luckily you were able to cure her."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yan Zu, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes: "Your fourth soul skill is very powerful."
Oscar laughed and said, "Boss Yan, your healing ability is even more powerful than Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia! Our team's stamina will be unbeatable from now on!"
Yan Zu smiled and said, "It just happens to counteract her poison. Alright, everyone's tired today, let's go back and rest."
The five walked side by side on the moonlit street, their shadows stretched long.
This match against the Heavenly Dou Royal Team not only made the Dawn Team's name resound throughout Soto City, but also allowed Yan Zu to successfully get close to Dugu Yan, laying the groundwork for his subsequent plans.
As night deepened, the lights in the penthouse suite of the Rose Hotel remained on, but the five members of the Dawn team were not basking in the joy of victory. Instead, they sat together, reviewing the match.
"Today's tactics were executed very successfully." Yan Zu tapped the table with his fingertip. "Oscar's clone sausage, combined with Xiao Wu's Jade Rabbit clone, created a numerical advantage and a greater sense of chaos than expected. Zhu Qing's surprise attack on Ye Lingling was clean and efficient, and Ning Rongrong's timing for switching amplification effects was precise. These are the keys to our ability to quickly establish an advantage."
Xiao Wu proudly swung her scorpion braid: "That's right! Don't you know whose clone it is! But that Dugu Yan's last move was really scary, the three-colored poisonous wave almost melted my Jade Rabbit clone."
(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)
Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice rang out: "Her poison attack is extremely powerful. If it weren't for Xiaoyu's natural domain restraining it, even if we could win, the cost would be much greater."
Ning Rongrong rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought: "Azu, you saved her in the end... because you saw that her poison was threatening her life, or... did you have other plans?" She was perceptive and vaguely sensed that Yan Zu's actions were not simply out of goodwill.
Yan Zu didn't hide anything and nodded: "Both are true. The Azure Phosphorus Serpent's venom backfired, rendering the Nine Heart Begonia ineffective. The situation was indeed critical at the time. We have no conflict with the Heaven Dou Royal Team, so we wouldn't stand idly by and watch someone die. But on the other hand, this is an opportunity. Dugu Yan's identity is not simple; she is backed by the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. If we can establish a connection with that Title Douluo through her, it could be of unexpected help to us, both personally and to certain situations we might face in the future."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over his companions: "Of course, all of this is predicated on us first winning the competition and proving our strength and worth. Otherwise, having good intentions without the ability to command respect is pointless."
Oscar gasped, "Poison Douluo Dugu Bo? That eccentric old man, the unpredictable master of poison? Boss Yan, isn't this a bit too risky?"
"Risk and opportunity go hand in hand." Yan Zu's gaze was calm. "Today, I was able to alleviate Dugu Yan's poisoning, and this favor is of extraordinary value. Moreover," he paused, "Dugu Yan herself is extremely talented and of good character. She will surely be grateful for our help today. It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, especially as we are about to head to Tiandou City."
"Heaven Dou City?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Grandpa, are we going to Heaven Dou City next?"
"Hmm." Yan Zu unfolded a simplified map of the continent, pointing to the location of the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. "Soto City is good, but its scope is ultimately limited. Heaven Dou City is the center of the empire, a gathering place for Soul Masters, with excellent information flow, and it is also one of the important competition areas for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. If we want to grow faster and access a wider world, that is the only way."
He looked at everyone and said, "Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is based in Heaven Dou City, and Rongrong needs to go back there often. The residence of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and many other powerful Soul Master forces are all gathered here."
(Tomorrow at midnight, we will determine the next foothold for Yan Zu and the others, and it will be there that they will truly rise to power.)
