168: Chapter 168 Gangzi is very proud of Tang San's plan

"Teacher, I ask that you continue to Support me!" Xue Beng said again, facing Yu Xiaogang.

"Xue Beng, since you are willing to take me as your teacher, and Little San is also willing to help you, I will naturally stay to Support you," Yu Xiaogang said. How could he possibly give up this opportunity?

"The urgent priority now is not to seek out Duke Los, but to find a place where we can settle down first."

Prince Xue Xing said: "Great Master, a hundred miles ahead is a mountain range called the Hengduan Mountains. On the mountain, there is a bandit stronghold led by an eighty-second-level Spirit Douluo. That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the space on the mountain is vast; it would be more than enough to house even ten thousand people."

"Duke Los has tried to wipe out this bandit stronghold several times in the past, but each time he returned without success."

"Uncle, I know this place. It is said that hundreds of Spirit Masters are entrenched there, and the accumulated wealth is astonishing. This is also the reason why my maternal grandfather always wanted to wipe them out," Xue Beng said.

"Exactly. This place will be the best location for us to hide in the future; we just need to take it." After Prince Xue Xing finished speaking, he looked at Dugu Bo and Great Master standing nearby.

Of course, there was also Tang San; the Support of the Tang Sect was their greatest asset right now.

He and Xue Beng did not have many subordinates; apart from Dugu Bo, there were only about thirty Spirit Masters following them.

Yet, over a hundred people from the Tang Sect had come.

"Sect Leader Tang!" Xue Beng came before Tang San and bowed again.

"Xue Beng, since you have already taken my teacher as your master, you can just call me Senior Brother," Tang San said.

Xue Beng nodded and then continued: "Senior Brother, I ask for your help. Once we succeed, the Tang Sect will be the only state-sanctioned Sect in my Heaven Dou Empire, and we will Support the development of the Tang Sect with all our might."

Facing Tang San, Xue Beng knelt on one knee, giving him full respect.

"Junior Brother, get up. If I don't help you, who else would I help?" Tang San said.

At this moment, Tang San and Xue Beng shared a common opponent: Su Ling and Qian Renxue.

This was also one of the important reasons why Tang San wanted to stand on Xue Beng's side.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Tang San, thank you, Teacher, and thank you, Senior Brother Luo Feng," Xue Beng said.

Although Luo Feng was very young, his talent was high, and as a Disciple of Yu Xiaogang, he earned his respect all the same.

At this moment, Xue Beng had also shed his previous playboy image.

"Teacher, how should we take down this bandit stronghold?" Xue Beng asked.

Yu Xiaogang said: "Prince Xue Xing, is the Spirit of this eighty-third-level Spirit Douluo the Soul-Severing Blade? Is his name He Sandao, known as 'Three Strikes of Soul-Breaking'? One strike severs life, two strikes sever the soul, and three strikes sever heaven and earth?"

"Great Master, you know this person?" Prince Xue Xing asked with a puzzled look.

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said: "We met this person back when our Iron Triangle was out training. We had some interactions with him back when he was still a Spirit Emperor."

"Back then, he said he wanted to establish his own force, and I was the one who helped him choose that location."

"Teacher, what should we do now?" Xue Beng asked.

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and said: "Leave it to me. Let me go persuade him!"

"Really? That would be wonderful. I wonder what are the chances of you persuading him, Teacher?" Xue Beng asked with an excited expression.

"It's fine. Rumors on the outside say this He Sandao is very vicious, but in reality, that is not the case. He is also a person with a story. If I go alone, I have a seventy percent chance of persuading him. If you, Xue Beng, go with me, I have a ninety percent chance," Yu Xiaogang said.

"Good, then I will go with Teacher." Xue Beng agreed almost without thinking.

"Should we have Mr. Dugu Bo go with you?" Prince Xue Xing suggested.

"It is better not to. If we want to go, we must show sincerity," Yu Xiaogang said.

"Uncle, don't worry, I trust Teacher's decision," Xue Beng said. Now he needed to win over every force that could be won over, and taking risks for this was worth it.

"Alright then, everything depends on you. I am already old, and I only hope that in my final days, I can help you reclaim what belongs to you," Prince Xue Xing said.

"Set off!"

Within the group, Yu Xiaogang came to Tang San's side.

"Teacher!" Tang San said. He still respected Yu Xiaogang very much.

"Little San, is something the matter?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"Teacher, although we have chosen Xue Beng this time, Su Ling is not easy to deal with. If I continue to Cultivate step-by-step as I am now, I might not be able to surpass her even in ten years. Therefore, I want to go out for some training once we are settled," Tang San said with a serious expression.

"You have a point. Only when you reach level ninety will that be the beginning of you comprehensively surpassing Su Ling. After all, your greatest advantage is your two Spirits. However, Little San, have you thought about where you will go for this training?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

Tang San pondered for a moment and then said: "Teacher, what do you think about Sea God Island?"

On Sea God Island, Su Ling was still Cultivating step-by-step.

The goddesses had Cultivation Techniques for training, and everyone was progressing very quickly. Their physical consumption was also very high, so every day, Su Ling would feed everyone some ten-thousand-year Medicinal Pills.

For example, ten-thousand-year blood ginseng; Su Ling would cut it into small slices for everyone to consume to replenish their bodies.

Moreover, Ye Lingling had some minor knowledge of medicinal materials and found some herbs on Sea God Island to combine with them, allowing all the goddesses to better absorb this medicinal power and nourish their exhausted bodies every day.

Three and a half months before the first assessment!

Feng Yuer finally completed the absorption of the several Spirit Bones for her whole body, becoming the second person among Su Ling's goddesses to possess a full set of Spirit Bones.

Although there was only one hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone, the other five Spirit Bones were each suitable and of excellent quality.

Because of this, her Soul Power reached level seventy, and she also received a god-bestowed spirit ring sent by Poseixi.

Of course, Feng Yuer did not need to use this god-bestowed spirit ring right now; the phoenix gall would help her condense a spirit ring. As for how many years it would be, even Su Ling could not say for sure; only by using it would they know.

Walking into Feng Yuer's tent, Su Ling took out the phoenix gall and said: "Yuer, I prepared this for you a long time ago. You can only use it once you reach level seventy. It can help you condense your seventh spirit ring, and this assessment will become easier."

"Brother Su, thank you!" Feng Yuer was truly grateful to Su Ling. Recalling when they first met at the Great Spirit Arena, following Su Ling all this way had truly been profitable.

If it weren't for Su Ling, she might still be a Spirit King right now; how could she possibly have so many Spirit Bones and be able to reach level seventy?

One must know that she was not even thirty years old yet.

Feng Yuer was truly grateful to Su Ling, from the bottom of her heart.

"Yuer, hurry and absorb this phoenix gall!" Su Ling said.

"phoenix gall?" Hearing this name, she felt it was quite extraordinary.

"Okay, Brother Su!" Feng Yuer said.

Exiting Feng Yuer's tent, Ning Rongrong was still in the process of absorbing her spirit ring.

Next were the three women who had not yet reached the level of Spirit Emperor. Yang Qingyu was not very worried now, as she had already become a Spirit Emperor.

After reaching level sixty-two, she took the Medicinal Pill given by Su Ling, and her Soul Power had now reached level sixty-four.

Before the assessment, reaching level sixty-five was not a problem, and there was even a chance to rush to level sixty-six.

Jiang Zhu and Ye Lingling were already at level sixty-eight; with a three-and-a-half-month sprint, reaching level seventy was not impossible.

Even if they couldn't reach level seventy, having now Cultivated the Nine-Star Body Refining Technique, they would still be able to walk up.

Even if they couldn't walk up relying on their own bodies, there was still Ning Rongrong who could help them.

Finally, there were Shui Yueer and Bai Chenxiang. Both women's Soul Power had reached level fifty-eight, and it was time to let them improve a bit more.

Upon reaching the level of Spirit Emperor, combined with the Nine-Star Body Refining Technique, the one hundred and eight steps would be completely fine.

However, Su Ling first took a look at the Favorability of the two. Recently, both of their Favorability ratings had reached ninety-five points, just one point away from ninety-six.

This also added two purple treasure chests, two black treasure chests, and one red treasure chest for Su Ling.

"Yueer, Xiangxiang, come over quickly!" Su Ling called out.

Hearing that it was Su Ling calling, both women immediately stopped Cultivating and walked down from the steps.

"Brother Su, did you call us for something?" the two women asked almost simultaneously.

Su Ling said: "Take these two Spirit Bones and absorb them. They should be able to help you improve a bit. Then, with three and a half months remaining, I hope you can both reach level sixty within two months."

"Give us Spirit Bones?" Both Bai Chenxiang and Shui Yueer were very pleasantly surprised.

Neither of them had a single Spirit Bone on them, so naturally, they were happy to see Spirit Bones. Moreover, everything Su Ling brought out every time was never bad; they were all good things suitable for them.

"Take them and absorb them. Only then will you have a chance to reach level sixty within two months; you cannot lag behind everyone else too much."

"Okay!" Both women nodded, took the Spirit Bones suitable for themselves, and went into their tents to absorb them.

[Ding... Shui Yueer Favorability +1, obtained black treasure chest *1]

[Shui Yueer Favorability greater than or equal to 96]

[Goddess: Shui Yueer]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 95]

[Favorability: 96 (Willing to sacrifice everything for you)]

[Bonding Effect: The host can obtain 50% of the daily Cultivation results of the bonded goddess, without reducing the bonded goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Bonding Skill 1: Perfect Water Affinity (Allows the host to possess perfect water affinity, moving as effortlessly in water as a white strip in the waves)]

[Bonding Skill 2: Fish Transformation (Active skill; by consuming the essence blood of various fish-type Spirit Beasts, the host can transform into a fish and possess its abilities. Note: After transforming into a fish, the host can only exert the combat power appropriate to their own Soul Power; even a high-year Spirit Beast will not enhance the host's combat power.)]

[Bonding Skill 3: Perception (If Shui Yueer encounters danger within five thousand meters of the host, the host can immediately perceive her location)]

[Bonding Skill 4: Fusion (Exerting a Martial Soul Fusion Skill by merging into the host's body; it can be stacked with other goddesses)]

Shui Yueer's Favorability increased, but Bai Chenxiang's did not.

Comparing the two, Shui Yueer was actually easier to move.

However, an increase in Favorability was only a matter of time.

On Sea God Mountain, Poseixi happened to notice this scene.

Actually, she had been watching quite a bit lately; Su Ling was truly very good to the goddesses around him, taking out good things one after another, which made even her incredibly envious.

"No wonder you kid has such good luck with women," Poseixi whispered. After speaking, she turned and left, no longer looking toward Su Ling's side.

[Ding... Poseixi Favorability +2, obtained white treasure chest *1, yellow treasure chest *1]

Huh, Poseixi's Favorability increased again.

During this period, Poseixi would occasionally increase her Favorability, and adding these two points, it had accumulated to thirty-seven points.

Su Ling looked at all the goddesses again. Ah Yin's Favorability had also increased to sixty-four points; her Favorability was truly difficult to increase.

However, just as Su Ling was thinking, a fire started over at Feng Yuer's tent, and the tent was burning.

Su Ling took a few strides over and isolated the flames. After all, his location was relatively close to Ning Rongrong, who was absorbing a spirit ring nearby, and she could not be affected.

Fortunately, the fire was only temporary and was soon retracted into Feng Yuer's body.

The phoenix gall could bring her great improvement; he just didn't know how much it could improve.

...Two days later!

While Su Ling was Cultivating the Nine-Star Body Refining Technique, the System's sound echoed in his mind.

[Ding... Shui Yueer Favorability +2, obtained black treasure chest *1, red treasure chest *1]

Shui Yueer's Favorability increased again, reaching 98 points!

Not long after the System prompt, Shui Yueer walked out of the tent.

Upon coming out, she walked up the steps to test her limits.

After absorbing a Spirit Bone, her Soul Power had increased a bit, and her body had been strengthened a little, progressing two steps further than before absorbing the Spirit Bone.

"Brother Su, I will definitely reach level sixty within two months," Shui Yueer said loudly.

"Binger, keep it up!" Su Ling also responded from the steps above.

At this moment, Su Ling was still on the three-hundredth step. The Nine-Star Body Refining Technique was still relatively easy for him. Unfortunately, the System only provided the first three layers, which Su Ling had already achieved.

Overall, for him, his body and strength had definitely increased by more than 10%.

About half an hour after Shui Binger came out.

[Ding... Bai Chenxiang Favorability +3, obtained black treasure chest *2, red treasure chest *1]

[Ding... Bai Chenxiang Favorability greater than or equal to 96]

[Bonded Goddess: Bai Chenxiang]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 95]

[Favorability: 98 (Willing to sacrifice everything for you)]

[Bonding Effect: The host can obtain 50% of the daily Cultivation results of the bonded goddess, without reducing the bonded goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Bonding Skill: Arrow Speed Bonus (Active skill; after use, it can increase the speed of the arrows shot by the host by 80%)]

[Bonding Skill: Speed Bonus (Active skill; after use, the host's speed can increase by 80%)]

[Bonding Skill 3: Perception (If Bai Chenxiang encounters danger within five thousand meters of the host, the host can immediately perceive her location)]

[Bonding Skill 4: Fusion (Exerting a Martial Soul Fusion Skill by merging into the host's body; it can be stacked with other goddesses)]

So Bai Chenxiang had improved again. Although her Favorability did not increase at the beginning, fortunately, it came in enough at once. Like Shui Yueer, both had reached a Favorability of 98 points.

Moreover, there was also a surprise from Bai Chenxiang, which was also one of the goddess skills that Su Ling liked the most right now.

An 80% acceleration in arrow speed, which was an 80% acceleration at the end.

Originally, the arrows shot by Su Ling were already fast enough and were gradually increasing. Suddenly increasing the speed by 80% during the arrow's flight could disrupt the opponent's response rhythm, achieving an unexpected effect.

Like Shui Yueer, after the System prompt, Bai Chenxiang also walked out, and her actions were the same as Shui Yueer's, walking up the steps.

The two were almost at the same level, both having progressed two steps.

"Xiangxiang, it seems we are still about the same," Shui Yueer said with a smile.

"Mm! Yes! This is also my limit." Bai Chenxiang looked up at Su Ling again and said: "Brother Su, thank you. I have also reached level fifty-nine, and I will definitely reach level sixty within two months."

Actually, for the two of them, wanting to reach level sixty was not difficult; after all, Su Ling had been feeding them ten-thousand-year Medicinal Pills.

Although the amount was not large, this amount was appropriate, just enough for them to absorb on the same day, so their Cultivation speed was not slow.

Coupled with the Cultivation on the steps, one day of Cultivation here was at least equivalent to three or more days of normal Cultivation.

Su Ling looked at the two's progress, and his heart was put at ease.

According to the two's progress, one hundred and eight steps would not be a problem.
