184: Chapter 184 Miaomiao is in danger, Su Ling provides support to Dongfang Yueying
"Rongrong, the person you mentioned, could it be Tang San?" Shui Yueer asked.
"Yueer, you could guess that?"
Shui Yueer nodded and said, "Tang San performed very well in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament and absorbed a spirit ring beyond his level. Compared to him, the others are clearly much worse."
"Exactly, I also feel it's him. However, your sister is already level 80. Once Brother Su returns and equips Bing'er with a spirit ring, and then adds a Spirit Bone, perhaps she could reach the cultivation of a Titled Douluo during the assessment. Wouldn't it be easy to fight Tang San with that cultivation?" Ning Rongrong analyzed.
Su Ling was able to produce good things; they were already accustomed to it, mainly because they had seen too much.
Whenever an item was brought out, they thought it was Su Ling's limit, only to realize it was just Su Ling's routine operation.
"Hmm, actually, I also feel my sister won't lose," Shui Yueer said.
"Let's go back and tell everyone this news," Ning Rongrong said.
Just at this moment, Bai Chenxiang frowned, seemingly troubled by something.
"Xiangxiang, what's wrong?" Ning Rongrong asked with concern.
Bai Chenxiang said, "Rongrong, Yueer, that Tang San visited our Speed Clan before."
"Xiangxiang, strictly speaking, this Tang San is still my cousin. You cannot underestimate him, because..."
Speaking of this, Bai Chenxiang hesitated; she didn't know if she should say this.
"Xiangxiang, because of what?" Ning Rongrong and Shui Yueer looked at Bai Chenxiang together.
On one side was Tang San, a cousin she had only met once and exchanged few words with; on the other were the goddesses Su Ling loved most. She hesitated.
But then she thought about how her grandfather hated Tang San. Tang San's family had harmed the Speed Clan terribly in the early years. It was only after Su Ling arrived two years ago that they helped their clan improve their lives.
I am already Brother Su's person; everything should be centered around Brother Su.
"Rongrong, Yueer, this Tang San is actually a possessor of twin spirits. His second Spirit is the number one in the world—no, it should be the second Tool Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer certainly cannot compare to Brother Su's Primordial War Bow."
"Clear Sky Hammer, we know this. In the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, this Tang San used this Spirit," Ning Rongrong said, and Shui Yueer also nodded.
They were both at the competition and knew about Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.
"Even if it is the Clear Sky Hammer, my sister's Spirit is not bad either, don't you think?" Shui Yueer said.
Bai Chenxiang added, "But you forgot one point. I heard from my grandfather that once Tang San's body can withstand it, he can quickly add spirit rings to his second Spirit. Nine spirit rings, and he can increase his Soul Power very quickly."
"That is a problem, but by then, when Brother Su returns, he can handle it," Ning Rongrong said.
"That's true. With Brother Su here, what are we worried about?" Bai Chenxiang said, suddenly realizing her previous worry was unnecessary.
The three returned to the seaside together; at this time, most people were cultivating.
They also shared what they had seen with everyone.
"It's actually him..." Xiao Wu was quite surprised to hear the news about Tang San.
"No, he isn't anymore."
"How could Oscar and the others do this? It's too much."
"I didn't expect Bing'er's opponent to be Tang San."
"Zhuqing, Sister Zhu Xin, Dai Mubai has also come, following Tang San."
Zhu Zhuqing said, "He has no relationship with me anymore."
At this moment, the women were all discussing, but there were three women not present: Hu Liena, Ah Yin, and Feng Yuer were all cultivating Soul Power.
Ah Yin also missed the news about Tang San because of this. After today's discussion, everyone rarely brought it up.
They almost reached a consensus: everything would be decided when Su Ling returned.
They just needed to focus on cultivating now.
...
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and the internal Spirit Fighting Tournament of the Sun Moon Sect began.
During these days, while taking the Medicinal Pill to Cultivate, Su Ling also gave Qian Miaomiao an extra return-to-origin qi fusion pill, which allowed her to better absorb and fuse the medicinal effects.
Her Soul Power also surged to level 43, becoming the first in their team in one go.
The previous captain and vice-captain were level 42 and level 41.
The competition proceeded as scheduled. There were 160 teams in the three-person group. With three main members plus two substitutes, there were about 800 Spirit Masters.
However, 60% of these Spirit Masters were Spirit Elders, and more than 30% were Spirit Grandmasters. Spirit Ancestors were extremely rare; combined, there were probably fewer than ten.
This was still the great power of the Sun Moon Sect; Spirit Ancestors under twenty-five were truly rare.
The five-person group had the most people, but this was not what Su Ling was concerned about.
He just came to watch Qian Miaomiao's battles every day.
Because the time was too short, Qian Miaomiao didn't have time to absorb a spirit ring, let alone absorb a supreme-grade herb.
In the end, after ten consecutive days of competition, one match per day, defeat meant elimination.
On the fifth day, the top ten to top five, Qian Miaomiao's team successfully advanced.
On the sixth day, they were lucky to have a bye and directly entered the top three.
On the seventh day, one team chose to forfeit because their main force was seriously injured the previous day, so this day was the final.
Qian Miaomiao and her team's opponents were also three Spirit Ancestors, a combination of three men. Surprisingly, there was a pair of twin brothers in this combination who could actually use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
In the end, Qian Miaomiao's team was defeated and won second place in the three-person category.
On this day, Su Ling's System sound rang out.
[Ding... Dongfang Yueying favorability +3, obtained Purple Treasure Chest * 1, Black Treasure Chest * 1]
"Did Yueying succeed in absorbing the Spirit Bone?"
In the evening, Su Ling did not attend Qian Miaomiao's victory banquet and returned home alone. As he expected, Dongfang Yueying came.
She was in the small courtyard where he and Qian Miaomiao lived.
Under the moonlight, Dongfang Yueying stood there, as if she could absorb the power of the moonlight. Her Spirit was not the moon, but the shadow of the moon.
Today, Dongfang Yueying was dressed in casual clothes. Although she was also very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, Su Ling preferred her wearing the exclusive outfit of the Sun Moon Sect Leader; that looked even more exciting.
"Su Ling, should I call you by your name directly, or should I call you Senior Su?" Dongfang Yueying asked with a smile.
At Su Ling's place, her veil was removed.
"Yueying, you can just call me by my name. If you want to be more intimate, you can call me Brother Ling, Brother Su Ling, or Brother Su, just like Qian Miaomiao," Su Ling said.
"It doesn't seem appropriate for me to call you that. I am almost twenty years older than you," Dongfang Yueying said. Because of her age, she felt a bit inferior when she saw Su Ling.
Su Ling said, "Is that so? But I feel that, Yueying, you seem very young here, only about eighteen years old."
[Ding... Dongfang Yueying favorability +1, obtained Black Treasure Chest * 1]
Heh, this Sect Leader is not bad.
Sweet words are useful in any era, even for Dongfang Yueying, who held high power.
Hearing Su Ling say this, Dongfang Yueying chuckled, laughing very happily.
If someone else said this to her, she might think it was teasing, but when the person she liked said it, it was sweet.
"Su Ling, you are too good with words. Qian Miaomiao must be completely infatuated with you, right?"
"Today is her victory banquet, why didn't you go?" Dongfang Yueying asked.
Su Ling said, "This victory banquet is nothing. It won't be too late to celebrate after she wins the Spirit Fighting Tournament on the continent."
"That is not easy. Actually, the three-person group battles are more difficult than the five-person group ones; they test coordination and comprehensive strength more. For this reason, most teams don't have any Support. Even the first place today might not be able to win the championship."
"On the other hand, Su Ling, you should participate in the Spirit Fighting Tournament for those aged twenty-five to thirty. If you say you are second, no one dares to say they are first. How about it? Do you want to represent our Sun Moon Sect?"
"If you win first place, I have a heavy reward for you," Dongfang Yueying said, pretending to be mysterious.
Su Ling laughed, "I don't want trash Spirit Bones."
Dongfang Yueying ╮(╯▽╰)╭
She thought, you brat, you really know how to hit a sore spot.
"Even if you wanted one, I wouldn't give it to you," Dongfang Yueying said.
"However, the quality of the Spirit Bone you gave me is truly good. I have absorbed two Spirit Bones before, but compared to yours, they really are trash. Su Ling, why didn't you come earlier?"
One Spirit Bone allowed Dongfang Yueying's Soul Power to increase from the Peak of level 81 to level 83. How could she not be excited?
Moreover, the skills brought by the 100,000-year Spirit Bone were two, which greatly improved her comprehensive strength.
"Su Ling, thank you!" Dongfang Yueying thanked him again.
In the past, Dongfang Yueying had fantasized about her other half. The first condition was that he must surpass her at the same age. There were many people on the continent who surpassed her, but the key was at the same age, with a small age gap.
But after so many years, there was no one she looked up to.
Later, after becoming the Saintess and Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Sect, her requirements for the other half became even higher. If there was no suitable one, she would rather grow old alone.
"Yueying, on this Sun Moon Continent, have you ever heard of attack-type spirit tools?" Su Ling asked.
Coming to the Sun Moon Continent, there were mainly two purposes: goddesses and attack-type spirit tools.
"Attack-type spirit tools?" Dongfang Yueying thought for a while and did not answer Su Ling immediately.
After a while, she said, "Su Ling, I seem to have obtained a document before. It seems that within the territory of the Tianyue Empire, someone has created attack-type spirit tools."
"Some people even went to investigate this matter. Later, they concluded that this type of attack-type spirit tool has insufficient power and is complex to use, so it is not suitable for promotion. Moreover, the cost is extremely high, and it doesn't seem very useful."
"Su Ling, are you also interested in attack-type spirit tools?" Dongfang Yueying asked back.
"I am a little interested. Yueying, if the Sun Moon Sect wants to continue growing in the future, perhaps you can bring that person to the Sun Moon Sect and Support him to continue researching attack-type spirit tools," Su Ling said.
Originally, he thought that coming to the Sun Moon Continent would allow him to bring back a lot of attack-type spirit tools, but the attack-type spirit tools here were still in the embryonic stage of development.
In the plot of Douluo Dalu II, ten thousand years later, spirit tools could be considered okay. To develop to that point required ten thousand years, and spirit tools would only come to the fore when the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent six thousand years later.
That is to say, attack-type spirit tools still needed thousands of years of development.
However, right now, the Sun Moon Continent did not attach importance to attack-type spirit tools. Either someone with vision would see the opportunity to invest, or someone would create powerful spirit tools to shock the continent.
Dongfang Yueying was also a bit confused after hearing Su Ling's words.
"Su Ling, do you think this attack-type spirit tool can develop and grow in the future?"
"But isn't the focus of a Spirit Master's cultivation to strengthen oneself? Relying on external forces is ultimately not a long-term solution," Dongfang Yueying continued.
"That's true, but this is not the case for everyone. The development of spirit tools will become the mainstream of the Sun Moon Continent in the future. If you believe me, you might as well invest and try," Su Ling said.
"Okay, since you said so, I believe you. That place is about five hundred kilometers away from our Sun Moon City. Tomorrow, I will order someone to go there and bring the person back," Dongfang Yueying said.
"I will go too," Su Ling said.
"You are going too?" Dongfang Yueying looked at Su Ling. After all, Su Ling was a level 98 Titled Douluo; if he attached such importance to it, she had to take it seriously as well.
"Su Ling, why don't I accompany you as well?" Dongfang Yueying said.
"Sure!" Su Ling replied.
"Then it's settled. We'll set off together early tomorrow morning."
"Well, I should be going now. Oh, by the way, these are the snacks I had Luo Qin prepare." Dongfang Yueying took out a food box.
The two sat at the stone table in the courtyard, enjoying the snacks while admiring the moonlight.
They chatted there for a little over an hour.
Dongfang Yueying, who was usually so cold and aloof, had become very close to Su Ling.
Suddenly, Su Ling looked ahead.
"Yueying, you go back first. I have something to attend to." After Su Ling finished speaking, he vanished before Dongfang Yueying's eyes.
Because in that instant, one of Su Ling's Goddess skills was passively triggered.
The Perception Goddess skill indicated that Qian Miaomiao was in danger..
Meanwhile, on a street in Sun Moon City.
Qian Miaomiao was drunk and stumbling as she walked home.
Just as she reached an isolated area, three Spirit Masters dressed in black suddenly rushed out.
One of the Spirit Masters was extremely fast, reaching Qian Miaomiao in the blink of an eye and knocking her unconscious with a chop of his hand.
"Let's go, take her to the Young Lord quickly."
"Hmph, don't think you're so great just because you placed second in the trio group. Our Young Lord's status is much higher than yours."
The three of them were clearly not novices; they knocked her out, bagged her, and then left calmly.
But just at this moment, Su Ling arrived.
He covered the distance of less than a kilometer in the blink of an eye, but Dongfang Yueying had also followed, quickly reaching Su Ling's side.
"Su Ling, what's wrong?" Dongfang Yueying asked curiously.
"Someone is planning to harm Miaomiao." Su Ling responded.
"Then why didn't you stop them directly? Why let them take Qian Miaomiao away?"
Su Ling said: "These three Spirit Masters are just here to run errands; they aren't the masterminds."
After saying this, Su Ling immediately followed them.
"Not the masterminds?"
"I want to see who else in Sun Moon City would do such a thing." Dongfang Yueying felt a surge of anger and then followed Su Ling.
Su Ling followed the three, constantly weaving through the city.
Before long, they arrived at a separate courtyard.
Su Ling and Dongfang Yueying arrived at the same time and hid in the shadows.
Inside the courtyard, a young man of about thirty walked out.
"Did you bring her?"
"Young Lord, we brought her. It's that Qian Miaomiao!"
"Hmph, good. You handled this matter very well. This time, I'll reward each of you with one thousand gold coins. By the way, dispose of that pair of corpses in my room."
"Thank you, Young Lord!" The three bowed in unison and then entered the room.
In the shadows, Dongfang Yueying seemed to recognize this man.
"It's him?" Dongfang Yueying looked at the man, appearing somewhat troubled.
"Yueying, is this guy hard to deal with?" Su Ling asked.
Dongfang Yueying said: "His name is Wu Yufeng, and he is the youngest son of our Sun Moon Sect's First Elder. This guy usually seems polite, but I didn't expect him to be such a person in private."
While speaking, Wu Yufeng had already opened the bag, revealing Qian Miaomiao.
Wu Yufeng pursed his lips and smiled: "You are the first woman to dare to refuse me three times in a row. As a woman with no background in the Sun Moon Sect, capturing you is hardly a challenge for me."
Just at that moment, the three men carried two female corpses out of the room.
These two women looked very similar, were disheveled, and had large areas of bruises on their exposed skin.
At a glance, it was obvious that they must have suffered inhumane torture before they died.
"Beast!"
"Su Ling, you don't need to do anything about this. Let me handle it, and I will bear the consequences."
Dongfang Yueying couldn't hold back anymore; she ran out from the shadows directly.
"Stop!"
"I didn't expect that in my Sun-Moon Hall, there would still be scum like you." Dongfang Yueying said indignantly.
Wu Yufeng had been about to reach out and touch Qian Miaomiao, but after seeing Dongfang Yueying, he took another look at the unconscious Qian Miaomiao.
By comparison, Wu Yufeng stood up.
One had a Goddess comprehensive value of 93, while the other was 97. Regardless of appearance or talent, Dongfang Yueying was far superior, especially with her unique Aura.
Any man who saw her would likely fantasize about her, making Wu Yufeng feel that other women were no longer appealing.
"Young lady, this is all a misunderstanding."
"I am Wu Yufeng, the son of the Sun Moon Sect's First Elder. Why don't we talk in private?" Wu Yufeng walked toward Dongfang Yueying step by step.
Dongfang Yueying usually wore a veil. After Su Ling had removed it, she didn't wear it in front of him, but when facing the sect, she still maintained the image of wearing a veil.
Therefore, Wu Yufeng did not immediately recognize that this was Dongfang Yueying with her veil removed, especially since she was wearing casual clothing.
Wu Yufeng walked over step by step, very confidently.
Meanwhile, Su Ling had also arrived at Qian Miaomiao's location!
"Young Lord, there is another person behind you." The three Spirit Masters said while looking at Su Ling.
Wu Yufeng turned back and took a look; wasn't this the person who lived in the same small courtyard as Qian Miaomiao, a level 57 Spirit King?
The three people behind him included one Spirit Saint and two Spirit Emperors. Even though he himself was a level 64 Spirit Emperor, what was there to be afraid of?
"Kill him." Wu Yufeng did not hesitate at all. By now, he also understood why these two had appeared at his secret base.
It was likely that the three of them had been spotted when they made their move, which was why they had been brought here.
Looking at Dongfang Yueying, Wu Yufeng smiled: "Very good. I didn't expect to have a new harvest today."
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I will give you one chance: submit to me, and I can make an exception and let you become my woman, allowing you to enjoy better Cultivation resources." Wu Yufeng said while looking at Dongfang Yueying.
Although Dongfang Yueying was not young, her appearance still seemed very youthful, looking only about twenty years old. She was at most a Spirit King, so everything was within his control.
"Wu Yufeng, you are courting death." Dongfang Yueying's Aura was revealed instantly.
And on this side, Su Ling had just made his move.
One Spirit Saint and two Spirit Emperors were killed instantly.
"You... you are the Sect Master..."
The pressure brought by Dongfang Yueying made Wu Yufeng feel the threat of death. Looking at Dongfang Yueying's eyes, he finally remembered; this must be Sect Master Dongfang Yueying.
"That's right, it's me!" Dongfang Yueying said.
"So the Sect Master is this beautiful. When my father and big brother return, I will have my father propose marriage for me. Sect Master, I want to marry you." After Wu Yufeng realized it was Dongfang Yueying, he seemed not to be afraid anymore.
After all, his father was the First Elder, a level 96 Titled Douluo and one of the top three in the continent. His father had made great contributions to the Sun Moon Sect's ability to rank among the top three of the seven great forces.
"Wu Yufeng, you are truly bold. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you directly? According to the crimes you have committed and the sect rules, you deserve the death penalty; dying ten times wouldn't be enough." Dongfang Yueying said.
"Sect Master Dongfang, don't bring up sect rules. Those rules are only to bind ordinary people. For me, are the sect rules useful?"
"After all, my father is the Sun Moon Sect's First Elder! Even you... if you make our family unhappy, you won't be able to continue being the Sect Master." Wu Yufeng said coldly.
Speaking of this, Dongfang Yueying hesitated.
This Wu Yufeng was right; the position of Sect Master was indeed somewhat dangerous.
Now, the majority of the high-level officials of the entire Sun-Moon Hall were leaning towards the First Elder, while Golden Wheel Douluo remained neutral.
More than a month ago, the First Elder took his eldest son, Wu Yulong, to the Evil Spirit Forest to search for his eighth spirit ring.
It could be said that although she was the Sect Master now, most of the power in the entire Sun-Moon Hall was controlled by the First Elder's lineage.
Seeing Dongfang Yueying hesitate, Wu Yufeng smiled, smiling very smugly.
"Sect Master, will you accompany me today, or will you wait until my father and the others return?" Wu Yufeng said with a playful look, while slowly approaching Dongfang Yueying.
On Su Ling's side, there was still one Spirit Emperor, but Su Ling did not kill him, only knocking him unconscious.
As for Wu Yufeng, he didn't care about one subordinate; at this moment, he only had eyes for Dongfang Yueying.
As he walked, he had already thought about how he would play later.
He would definitely make Dongfang Yueying wear the veil again and put on the exclusive attire of the Sect Master.
"Yueying, go ahead and do it. I will Support you with all my might." Su Ling immediately sent a voice transmission to Dongfang Yueying.
Originally, Su Ling wanted to kill this Wu Yufeng himself; in the Sun Moon Continent, he feared no one.
But if he let Dongfang Yueying do the killing and then supported her, wasn't this the best opportunity to farm favorability?
[Ding... Dongfang Yueying favorability + 3, obtained Purple Treasure Chest * 1, Black Treasure Chest * 1]
[Ding... Dongfang Yueying favorability is approximately equal to 90]
[Bonded Goddess: Dongfang Yueying]
[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 97]
[Current Favorability: 90 (In love deeply, unable to extricate herself, heart can no longer hold anyone else)]
[Bonding Effect: The host can obtain 40% of the bonded Goddess's daily Cultivation effect, without reducing the bonded Goddess's Cultivation speed.]
[Bonding Skill 1: Moon Hiding (Active skill, lasts for five minutes after use, cannot make large-scale movements, otherwise the skill effect disappears. Under moonlight, this skill's duration is unlimited.)]
[Bonding Skill 2: Moon Blade (Under moonlight, can condense moonlight power to form a Moon Blade attack, comparable to a 50,000-year Spirit Ability.)]
Not bad. Isn't this favorability coming in now?
"Su Ling, thank you. With you here, I can rest easy." Dongfang Yueying also responded via voice transmission.
She couldn't endure it any longer; she really didn't want to endure it anymore. With level 98 Su Ling's Support, was there anything to fear from the level 96 First Elder?
When Wu Yufeng approached, Dongfang Yueying's spirit rings lit up one by one.
"What are you doing?" Wu Yufeng stopped his steps, seeming somewhat nervous. He felt that Dongfang Yueying was filled with Killing Intent; it didn't seem like she was trying to scare him.
"Kill you!" Dongfang Yueying said coldly.
"You dare? My father can..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Yueying unleashed her Spirit Ability, instantly killing Wu Yufeng.
"Yueying, I left one survivor here for you. Interrogate him to see how many women this Wu Yufeng has harmed, and then publish it."
"Okay!" Dongfang Yueying nodded.
"Um, Su Ling, we might not be able to go find that person who makes attack-type spirit tools tomorrow." Dongfang Yueying said.
"It's fine. We can go later after helping you resolve the matter with the First Elder." Su Ling responded.
"Okay!" Dongfang Yueying smiled, smiling very happily. She didn't know how long she had waited for this day. Suddenly, having someone to rely on, this feeling was truly good.
[Ding... Dongfang Yueying favorability + 2, obtained Black Treasure Chest * 1, Red Treasure Chest * 1]
