Chapter 290 Promotion and Goodbye
The next day, it was still dark, and riding on Shui Chaozong's martial spirit avatar, accompanied by Dugu Bo, Lin Manshan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhuyu, they set off and headed straight for the Star Forest.
It took a few days to finally arrive.
It has to be said that after absorbing the soul bone and improving his strength, Shui Chaozong's flying speed became faster.
This is a good and competent plane!
Entering the Star Forest, after a brief rest, everyone set off again, heading deeper into the core area.
After a few more days of hard work, I finally saw the goal of this trip. The two-headed three-eyed ghost cat has been cultivated for 90,000 years and is known as the Messenger of Hell and the Son of Darkness.
Monogamy and loyalty to one's partner are also characteristics of this race, which I happened to encounter before.
The three-eyed ghost cat is an extremely rare dark attribute agile cat-like soul beast. Because it has no hair and is completely black, it is also known as a black-skinned cat in the soul master world. Although he is not good-looking and has wrinkled skin, his bloodline is top notch.
With a petite body and dark protective color, coupled with powerful speed and sharp claws, in the dark forest environment, whether it is a soul master or a soul beast, unless the perception is extremely strong, as long as they encounter it, they will basically see their shadows. Those who fail to do so will have their necks wiped clean. This is why they have the titles of Hell Messenger and Son of Darkness. This race is truly the King of Darkness.
The fertility rate is a bit low, resulting in a scarce population. The specific reason is unknown.
Perception ability happened to be Lin Manshan's strength, so he had been detected long ago.
Although its speed and destructive power are astonishing, its petite and hairless physique, less than one meter long, naturally has low defense, which has become the biggest flaw of this race. Especially in front of Dugu Bo and Lin Manshan, it became particularly obvious.
Due to his small size, Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill is not easy to control. After succeeding, the two of them used their strong strength to grab the fates of the two beasts by the necks, then opened their mouths and stuffed the pill directly into their mouths. After that, he was knocked unconscious on the spot with a slap, and then his limbs were tied up with shackles specially made by the building. He threw them on the open space aside and waited quietly.
A few days later, the two kittens broke through the 100,000-year level one after another and woke up quietly.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo and Lin Manshan took action again without hesitation, knocking the two beasts unconscious, and then signaled Zhu Zhuyu, who had broken through for many days, and Zhu Zhuqing, who had broken through nearby, to pick one to hunt. The two of them understood, took out their daggers and approached, each of them struck quickly with one blow.
A month later, with the help of Lin Manshan's soul power, the two of them successfully absorbed the soul ring and soul bone, and both broke through level 75. Zhu Zhuyu absorbed a left leg bone, while Zhu Zhuqing absorbed a right leg bone, both of which were undoubtedly one hundred thousand years old.
As for Lin Manshan, after devouring the corpses of two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, his soul bones also evolved again.
Among them, the wisdom skull and the right leg bone that fell from Tang Xiao's body have both reached the 100,000-year level. The soul bones attached to the left and right palms of the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear have all reached 70,000 years old, while the right arm bones of the blond lion mastiff have exceeded the 75,000-year-old level. As for the remaining soul bones, since they have already reached the 100,000-year level, this time it can only be said that there is a small increase, only less than 5,000 years.
However, the strength has improved a lot as a result.
Especially the right leg bone and the wisdom skull, which had just achieved a major breakthrough and reached the 100,000-year level. The former greatly improved his physical strength, and the latter greatly improved his mental strength.
Moreover, he also received feedback from the energy in his soul bone, and his soul power increased slightly, reaching level 85 ahead of schedule.
This trip can be regarded as a great reward no matter what.
For this reason, Lin Manshan was naturally happy, especially when he saw the two girls who had become more and more beautiful after the breakthrough, he was even more delighted and hugged them right on the spot. It was softer, perfectly inheriting the characteristics of a cat. This was his first feeling.
When Dugu Bo saw Lin Manshan's unusual joyful behavior, he couldn't help but ask. And after learning that Lin Manshan's soul bone had reached a breakthrough in age, and that his soul power had been promoted to level 85 ahead of schedule, he was overjoyed and wanted to celebrate.
So, Lin Manshan collected the ingredients on the spot and cooked a small meal for everyone.
After eating and drinking, and digesting food for a while, everyone set off on their way back.
A few days later, I finally returned to the academy. At this time, it was only two days before January, and the New Year was not far away.
In view of the fact that the invitation was sent on a snowy night before, and now that the New Year is approaching, it is also time to go there, so as not to send anyone to disturb me later. Therefore, Dugu Bo immediately called the disciples of the Min clan and asked them to go to the palace to inform them that they would pay a visit tomorrow.
On that day, I naturally had a good rest.
Lin Manshan also returned to the small courtyard and took the girls to Old Jack's house for a good gathering.
The next day, after breakfast, I got into the carriage with Dugu Bo and rushed to the palace together.
To be honest, none of them were interested in meeting Xue Ye. The reason why I went was more to give Qian Renxue face and to show her support to Xue Ye.
Arriving at the entrance of the palace, Xue Ye also gave him face, and together with Ning Fengzhi, he led hundreds of officials to greet him personally.
"Brother Qinghe, long time no see." After saluting Xue Ye, Lin Manshan immediately greeted Qian Renxue.
Hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding officials, including Xue Ye, couldn't help but flash.
The battle between Haotian Sect has already spread. Lin Manshan's performance in this battle was terrifying. He fought one against two without any assistance, and killed two titles with a crushing force. That was Haotian. The titled Douluo who hammers martial souls. Nowadays, many people in the soul master world have speculated that Lin Manshan's real combat power is comparable to a level 95 titled Douluo, which is ridiculously strong.
Now in the streets outside, some people are even suggesting and discussing that Lin Manshan's soul ring can't be seen anyway, so he might as well just block his account.
As for the specific titles, there are already various versions, such as Sword Douluo, Tianxing Douluo, and Heaven Defying Douluo.
However, no matter what, it has almost become a recognized fact that Lin Manshan's strength is better than being banned even without a title. Coupled with his relationship with Dugu Bo, Lin Manshan's attitude can explain a lot.
Looking at the current situation, is he explicitly supporting the eldest prince Xue Qinghe? This thought came up in the hearts of all the officials almost at the same time.
On the other side, not far behind Xue Ye, Xue Beng's face turned pale almost instantly. Although the face of Prince Xuexing next to him didn't change much, he felt helpless in his heart.
To be honest, he had always doubted whether the second prince Xue Qinghe had been tricked. This person's usual performance is too perfect, and he is not even close to a womanizer. He is almost 30, and he doesn't even have a relationship.
Coupled with the mysterious deaths of the eldest prince and the third prince, although all kinds of evidence are enough to prove that it has nothing to do with Xue Qinghe. But precisely because Xue Qinghe's performance was so perfect, he had always been suspicious. Moreover, he could feel that Xue Ye also had suspicions, but he kept letting them go without any evidence. Precisely because of this, he has been putting effort into cultivating Xue Beng and letting him learn to hide his clumsiness.
