143: Chapter 143 Liu Erlong to help Su Ling get rid of Hu Liena?
Liu Erlong and Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan both possessed Rank 86 Soul Power, but when Liu Erlong released her Spirit, she still managed to shock him.
One was a True Dragon-type Spirit, while the other was a Sub-Dragon type, creating a natural suppression.
In Slaughter City, completing Spirit Body Possession was already the greatest means of improvement for an ordinary Spirit Master, unless one possessed a Spirit Bone.
The two charged at each other simultaneously, and Liu Erlong swung her fist, striking directly.
Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan was not cowardly either; after all, he had absolute confidence in himself and chose to trade punches directly with Liu Erlong.
A loud boom rang out, followed by continuous echoes throughout the entire Hell Slaughter Arena—the sounds of their battle. It looked like their fight was evenly matched, as if neither could do anything to the other.
"Is that all the ability you have?"
"If that's all, then it's time to end this," Liu Erlong reminded him with a confident expression.
Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan said, "I didn't expect that after preparing for so long, I would still encounter an expert upon entering. Slaughter City really isn't that easy to conquer."
The next instant, a Spirit Bone appeared on his right arm.
In Slaughter City, Spirit Abilities are prohibited, but Spirit Bones are not. For example, Hu Liena's external Spirit Bone had been used in Slaughter City.
This was Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan's trump card. A single Spirit Bone was enough to give him the lead among those of the same Rank, and those who came to Slaughter City at the Spirit Douluo level were basically the ceiling of existence.
"It seems you also have a lot of information about Slaughter City. Do you think a Spirit Bone is enough?"
Liu Erlong charged at Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan again. Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan released his Spirit Bone skill, throwing a punch that condensed into a Dragon claw, striking toward Liu Erlong.
Seeing this, Liu Erlong also gathered her Soul Power and used the Eight Desolations Fist that Su Ling had taught her.
Although she had only learned the fourth form, each form could increase fist strength by 30%. If the first form was 30%, then the fourth punch could reach 120% of her full power.
With such a fist strength bonus, combined with her own power, she threw a full-power strike.
After all, in the battle just now, she hadn't actually used her full strength.
The huge Dragon claw struck over, but it was shattered by Liu Erlong's punch, causing her no harm whatsoever.
"Is this your Spirit Bone skill? I find it quite ordinary," Liu Erlong said indifferently.
"I... how is this possible? You didn't even use a Spirit Ability; how could you possibly withstand my Spirit Bone skill?" Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan looked at Liu Erlong in disbelief.
The audience present was also filled with amazement, but they also revealed greedy eyes.
That was a Spirit Bone; in Slaughter City, it was definitely a treasure.
Liu Erlong said, "I thought you were very powerful, but unfortunately... it's a bit disappointing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Erlong rushed over again, her footwork becoming strange and unpredictable.
Perhaps having lost his confidence, Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan did not notice the change in Liu Erlong at all.
When he launched a counterattack again, Liu Erlong changed her footwork, easily dodging the attack from the side, and then punched Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan.
Liu Erlong didn't waste words; when you're sick, it's time to take your life. A flurry of combo punches landed on Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan with a series of thuds. In just a few breaths, Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan had taken dozens of solid punches.
The force was so great that he was unable to counterattack and could only passively take the beating.
Even though both were Spirit Douluos, the gap between them was quite large.
Hu Liena was also feeling fortunate; if she had signed up a bit later today, she might have run into Liu Erlong. If she had encountered Liu Erlong, she would have had no way to win.
Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan fell to the ground, his body trembling, while he also emitted agonizing sounds of pain.
Liu Erlong would not give him any chance; she walked over and immediately ended his life.
A Rank 86 Spirit Douluo had perished, and this was his first day in Slaughter City.
She took the opponent's spirit tool, as well as a Spirit Bone. However, the age of this Spirit Bone was not high, less than 20,000 years; it should be around 15,000 years.
This Spirit Bone should have been obtained when the Spirit Master absorbed their sixth spirit ring.
The quality was not particularly good, barely qualifying as mid-to-lower grade.
After collecting the spoils of war, Liu Erlong began to absorb the Killing Intent. Once the absorption was complete, Liu Erlong took out the Spirit Bone and said, "Four hundred cups of yellow spring dew, you can come to me to trade for this Spirit Bone."
"What? She actually doesn't want this Spirit Bone."
"Four hundred cups, that's quite a large amount."
This Spirit Bone was truly useless to her and Su Ling, and she had just transmitted this thought to Su Ling.
This was also a decision made after the two discussed it; after all, they couldn't rely on robbing to obtain yellow spring dew every day.
It was fine at the beginning, but the more they robbed, the more people would be on guard; it was better to trade it for yellow spring dew.
Furthermore, it was because the age and quality really didn't catch their eye.
After all, the Spirit Bone skill that Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan had just released made Liu Erlong feel that this Spirit Bone's utility wasn't that great.
"I want this Spirit Bone!"
"Please give me a few days!" At this moment, a Spirit Master who looked to be about fifty years old stood up in the audience seats of the Hell Slaughter Arena.
"Isn't that Xu Gang, who has already achieved twenty-six consecutive victories?"
"It seems he hasn't appeared for half a year; I thought he was already dead..."
The Spirit Master before them looked somewhat extraordinary. Judging by his Soul Power fluctuations, he should be below Rank 80, and looking at his Aura, he didn't seem like an ordinary Spirit Master.
Liu Erlong said, "We will continue to come to the Hell Slaughter Arena around this time tomorrow. We will trade outside the Hell Slaughter Arena then. If you can't gather four hundred cups by tomorrow, then forget it."
"Tomorrow?"
"Fine, tomorrow it is!" Xu Gang responded.
"Su Ling, let's go," Liu Erlong said.
Su Ling nodded and said, "We should also go find a suitable place to stay."
The two stood up and left together. At this time, the one called Xu Gang also followed them out; naturally, he went to gather the yellow spring dew.
"Damn, I just waited out one Asura God, and another expert has come. It seems I have to continue waiting for an opportunity. In the future, I'll wait until she finishes her battle before I go to sign up. I don't know when I'll ever be able to gather one hundred victories," Xu Gang said with a helpless expression.
Relying on his strength and calculations, he had managed to survive in Slaughter City for five years.
How Xu Gang gathered these four hundred cups of yellow spring dew had nothing to do with them.
The reason Liu Erlong wanted these four hundred cups was actually for both of them to use.
They decided to challenge at staggered times: Su Ling would go one day, and then Liu Erlong would go the next day. Both of them needed to go to the Hell Slaughter Arena.
Calculating it out, they needed two cups a day, so four hundred cups was just right.
Moreover, with the System space, the stored yellow spring dew would remain very fresh.
It was just that the quantity they wanted was destined to cause quite a few people in the outer city to die today, especially those who had just arrived.
These were not things Su Ling and Liu Erlong were concerned with anymore.
The two searched for a suitable location in the inner city. The city of Slaughter City was dilapidated everywhere; it was unknown how long the city had been built.
A stable hiding place was very important.
Passing through the city, after a while, Su Ling found a very spacious platform on a high building.
This platform was in a relatively remote location, and it had cover around it.
But this was just a platform and wasn't suitable for resting; three sides were open, and if someone passed by here, they would notice it at a glance.
No one would choose this place as a place to rest.
And since no one would come, Su Ling was even more relieved.
Additionally, one could come up through the stairs on the other side, thus increasing secrecy.
After checking the surroundings, Su Ling took out the High-Level Protection Array and set it up on the high building, simultaneously using the effect of the Formation to conceal this platform.
By using an illusion on it to make it look dilapidated, no one would come even more.
After setting it up, Su Ling took out the snow dragon chamber.
"Sister Liu, please look, this is the area where we will live from now on."
Inside the Formation, one could no longer smell the bloody scent of Slaughter City, and the light had also become bright.
Staying in such a repressive environment as Slaughter City for a long time would definitely lead to problems with one's mindset.
This Formation just happened to make up for this.
"Su Ling, how big is your space spirit tool exactly? You actually managed to bring out a room," Liu Erlong looked at the house in front of her in surprise.
Su Ling said, "Sister Liu, this is called the snow dragon chamber. Its main body is constructed from a thousand-year Snow Dragon and possesses extremely strong defense. Plus the High-Level Protection Array outside, even if a Spirit Douluo came, it would take some time to break through, so we can completely relax while living inside here."
Pushing open the door, Su Ling and Liu Erlong walked in together.
There was a large bed, a place to wash up, a toilet, and a kitchen.
A thirty-square-meter space; the toilet was not big, only two square meters, the kitchen was larger at four square meters. It was a one-bedroom, one-living-room layout, with a sixteen-square-meter bedroom, and additionally, there was an eight-square-meter small hall remaining.
Although it was a bit small, it had everything one needed, and it was completely sufficient for two people to live inside.
"Su Ling, this room is really too good. You are indeed very thoughtful."
After coming in, Liu Erlong sat down on the bed, feeling just like she was in her own home, forming a stark contrast with the environment of Slaughter City.
"Sister Liu, I'm hungry; let's prepare something to eat."
The kitchen facilities were very complete, and Su Ling took out quite a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits all at once.
Previously, Liu Erlong had only prepared dry rations, whereas most of what Su Ling had were fresh things.
Looking at so many things, Liu Erlong also took the initiative to shoulder the task of cooking.
"Sister Liu, absorbing Killing Intent in Slaughter City is not easy to control if there is too much. My space spirit tool can keep things fresh; there are all kinds of vegetables."
"Aside from participating in battles, you can either stay at home and study cooking. These are the recipes I prepared for you." Su Ling took out several thick books in one go for Liu Erlong to study.
"Besides that, you can also grow some flowers."
Su Ling walked outside the snow dragon chamber again and took out pot after pot of plants. In no time, the snow dragon chamber seemed to be surrounded by a garden.
Su Ling also took out a large water vat filled with water, making it convenient for watering the flowers.
Watching everything Su Ling did, Liu Erlong's eyes became moist.
"Su Ling, you are so thoughtful." Liu Erlong had always struggled to control her Killing Intent, and it was clear that Su Ling knew this.
"Hurry up and cook; I'm hungry." Su Ling smiled, interrupting Liu Erlong's emotional moment.
"Mhm, this year I must ensure you eat the most delicious meals every day," Liu Erlong said.
Not long after Liu Erlong entered the kitchen, the System notification sound rang again for Su Ling.
"Ding... Hu Liena Favorability +3, obtained white treasure chest * 2."
At this time, in the place where Hu Liena was resting, it was somewhat dim but also very hidden.
"Su Ling was right; this yellow spring dew really is poisonous. It seems I owe him a favor," Hu Liena whispered.
After saying this, she took out dry rations and water and began to eat.
Back on Su Ling's side, the aroma of Liu Erlong's cooking was already wafting out.
After dinner, a warm-up exercise was indispensable.
[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for completing an intimate interaction with Liu Erlong; obtained purple treasure chest * 1.]
With Liu Erlong around, he could obtain at least one purple treasure chest every day. Su Ling was not without gains in Slaughter City.
After completing an interaction, Su Ling and Liu Erlong began to Cultivate.
Time quickly arrived at the next day!
Su Ling and Liu Erlong arrived at the Hell Slaughter Arena at the same time as yesterday.
The Spirit Master named Xu Gang was already waiting at the entrance, and Hu Liena was there too.
"This is what you wanted. It should be enough to pour more than four hundred cups." Xu Gang took out a large container; what was inside if not yellow spring dew?
Su Ling checked it, nodded, and then Liu Erlong handed the Spirit Bone directly to Xu Gang.
After getting the Spirit Bone, Xu Gang did not linger at all and left immediately.
"Su Ling, you go today; I will continue tomorrow," Liu Erlong said.
Their goal was simple: one match every other day.
Fighting every day was not conducive to controlling Killing Intent.
Therefore, their two hundred matches could be completed in two hundred days at the fastest, leaving some margin within the year.
Another reason was that they couldn't fight every day; after all, there weren't many people in Slaughter City now.
Nine people die in one match, based on what Su Ling learned about the Hell Slaughter Arena yesterday.
Basically, there are at least one or two slaughter duels every day, and sometimes around five.
If we count it as two matches, eighteen Spirit Masters would die in a day, and over five hundred in thirty days.
Adding in the casualties outside the Hell Slaughter Arena, at least a thousand people die in Slaughter City every month.
But where would there be a thousand Spirit Masters who entered with Su Ling and Liu Erlong that day?
The number of new arrivals in a month might not even exceed the number of deaths.
Therefore, it was the right choice for the two of them to participate in shifts.
Su Ling signed up, while Hu Liena temporarily continued to wait outside; it wouldn't be too late for her to sign up after Su Ling and Liu Erlong came out.
"I'm signing up today. Sister Liu isn't coming. We take one match per person per day; you can follow this pattern," Su Ling said.
After saying this, Su Ling and Liu Erlong walked inside, leaving a stunned Hu Liena behind.
One match every two days? Are you planning to leave Slaughter City within a year?
To survive in Slaughter City, one must rely not only on strength but also on the ability to suppress and control the Killing Intent within.
If one followed Su Ling's fighting style, one would need overwhelming strength and perfect control over Killing Intent.
Is this feasible?
Hu Liena looked at Su Ling's back with a puzzled expression, but she was still grateful for his reminder earlier.
"Thank you!" Hu Liena whispered.
Su Ling and Liu Erlong entered the Hell Slaughter Arena together.
As it happened, Su Ling was exactly the tenth person. As soon as he arrived, he heard a staff member say, "Ten people are full; enter the arena immediately. The slaughter is about to begin."
Su Ling followed the crowd and jumped down.
The nine opponents were not very strong. Perhaps because some new people had been added, there were three who were slightly more capable today.
But they were only at the Spirit Emperor Rank, while the others were basically at the Spirit Ancestor Rank.
As the countdown ended, the slaughter began.
Su Ling was the first to strike, using Carefree Metamorphosis right from the start.
The opponents were not strong, so Su Ling suppressed his own strength and actually began to hone his movement techniques, along with the Eight Desolations Fist.
Su Ling rarely practiced these two things, and they had always been stuck at the Major Achievement stage without reaching Perfection.
He took this opportunity to hone them, as he had not yet grasped the strongest strike of the Eight Desolations Fist.
"You nine pieces of trash, if you have the guts, come at me all at once. I'll kill you all one by one." Su Ling provoked these nine Spirit Masters right from the start, creating a one-versus-nine situation.
"Is this kid an idiot?"
"Does he think he isn't dying fast enough?"
Someone who takes the initiative to fight nine against one like this is either an idiot or terrifyingly strong.
Looking at Su Ling's still-young face, everyone basically assumed he was a reckless youth, likely there to throw his life away.
Yet, amidst the siege of the nine, Su Ling remained at ease. No matter how hard the nine tried, it seemed they couldn't hit Su Ling.
The battle lasted for the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn before it ended.
Everyone died under the Eight Desolations Fist.
"In this slaughter, 8225 is the winner!"
Su Ling also absorbed and condensed Killing Intent into his body for the first time, but the accumulation was not much, and it could not cause him any influence.
Shortly after, he jumped onto the spectator stand and said, "Sister Liu, let's go."
"Mhm!" Liu Erlong nodded, and they walked out together.
After the two of them left, Hu Liena began to sign up to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena.
The next day, Liu Erlong fought. This time, just like Su Ling, she provoked nine opponents and then began to hone her movement techniques and fist techniques, achieving two consecutive victories without any surprises.
By the third day, Su Ling had achieved two consecutive victories.
On the fourth day, Liu Erlong came out having achieved three consecutive victories, but Hu Liena did not come today.
When the two of them came out together, Xu Gang took the initiative to sign up, because he had already calculated the number of people; the first eight were all very average, and he could easily deal with them.
After Xu Gang signed up and entered the Hell Slaughter Arena, coincidentally, Hu Liena also arrived.
However, she didn't see that Xu Gang had gone in; she only knew that Su Ling and Liu Erlong had come out, which was what she considered the important point.
Her battles had also been very frequent these past few days, almost once every two days as well.
In fact, she had noticed that not many experts had been coming to the Hell Slaughter Arena recently, so she wanted to take this opportunity to win a few more matches.
But when she was about to sign up, Su Ling said, "Wait a moment. I want to participate in this match; you can just be a spectator."
"Ah, you're going?" Hu Liena glanced at Su Ling.
At this point, she still hadn't challenged Su Ling in a life-or-death battle, and she didn't want to either; she really didn't have the confidence.
"Alright! You go!" Hu Liena nodded, not going against Su Ling's wishes.
When Su Ling came out, he knew how many people were inside. If Hu Liena signed up at this time, she would definitely encounter the Spirit Master Xu Gang, which might be dangerous for her.
As for this little fox, Su Ling was determined to win her over.
Because she was different from other goddesses; that kind of sexiness was completely different.
Winning her over would make future intimate interactions more interesting, happier, and more satisfying!
After submitting a cup of yellow spring dew to sign up, Su Ling and Liu Erlong went in again.
"Su Ling, are you doing this to kill Xu Gang and get back the Spirit Bone, or for this little fox?" Before entering, Liu Erlong asked Su Ling with a curious look.
"Sister Liu, it's likely the latter," Su Ling responded with a smile; there was no need to hide anything in front of Liu Erlong.
"You brat, it seems we'll have another sister in the future. However, this little fox is Bibi Dong's disciple, with great talent, so it won't be easy!" Liu Erlong analyzed.
"Sister Liu, I am best at rising to the challenge," Su Ling said as he walked into another passage.
At this moment, Hu Liena also followed behind Liu Erlong into the Hell Slaughter Arena to watch the battle.
Seeing Hu Liena follow, Liu Erlong took the initiative to say, "This time you must thank Su Ling. If it weren't for him reminding you, you would have been in danger this time. If you don't believe me, just watch in a moment."
Liu Erlong thought to herself, Am I helping Su Ling win over this little fox in front of me?
"Is that so?" Hu Liena looked at Liu Erlong, somewhat skeptical. She would only know whether what Liu Erlong said was true or false after watching the slaughter match.
"Thank you, Senior Liu!" Although she didn't know the specific reason, she still proactively said thank you.
Liu Erlong said, "You don't need to call me Senior. You are about the same age as Su Ling; you can just call me Sister Liu like him."
"Mhm! Sister Liu!" Hu Liena said.
If she were outside, she wouldn't address her like that and might even order people to target and kill Su Ling and Liu Erlong. But here in Slaughter City, she was isolated and helpless, and at this moment, she had no choice but to lower her head and befriend them.
