Chapter 28 The Road Back to the City



Xiao Chenyu revealed almost nothing about his second soul skill.

Compared to the extra Nightmare Martial Soul, there's really nothing to hide.

The Nightmare Martial Soul perfectly inherited Nightmare's two special abilities, which became the first and second soul skills of his Nightmare Martial Soul.

First Soul Skill: Mimicry, which allows one to blend into the surrounding environment. The drawback is that it cannot conceal one's aura or scent, and other methods of concealment are still needed.

Second Soul Skill: Nightmare, which pulls others into a dream woven by oneself, causing them to unconsciously sink into the dream.

Against Soul Masters of a higher level, he could only barely control himself for a few seconds by making eye contact with them.

However, for those low-level Soul Masters, as long as he attaches his Soul Power to them, their life and death will almost be in his hands.

If he didn't need to wait for the right opportunity, he would have wanted to take control of Tang San right now.

Thinking of Tang San, Xiao Chenyu subconsciously touched his chest, where the breastplate formed by the Blue Silver Emperor always remained.

Having just used his second soul skill, he projected more than two marks; there was also a crescent moon mark on the Blue Silver Emperor.

Compared to Qian Renxue and She Long, who might not be nearby, the Blue Silver Emperor was his greatest guarantee of life.

With the Blue Silver Emperor's invincible vitality, there is almost no need to worry about any problems before his soul power is exhausted.

Moreover, as he nurtured the Blue Silver Emperor, he discovered an unexpected delight.

After his soul power is exhausted, the Blue Silver Emperor can replenish his soul power.

If the soul power in his body is a cup of water, then the Blue Silver Emperor is a pool of water, so he doesn't need to worry about soul power at all.

Unfortunately, his soul power limit is too low. At most, he can withstand a full-force attack from a soul master below level 40. If he encounters the fourth soul ring of a power-attack type soul master, even if he doesn't die on the spot, he will at least be drained of his soul power and severely injured.

His other martial soul, the Moon Shadow Tiger, didn't bring him many surprises either.

Perhaps it was because the Moonshadow Tiger and Nightshade were incompatible, the second soul skill generated by the Moonshadow Tiger made Xiao Chenyu somewhat dissatisfied.

Second Soul Skill: Moon Shadow Stomp, stomping heavily on the ground, causing an effect similar to an earthquake.

It was Xiao Chenyu's only offensive skill, but its effect was mediocre.

Compared to this soul skill, the 300% mental strength bonus and 100% speed bonus brought by the Nightmare Martial Soul Possession are actually more powerful.

In any case, Xiao Chenyu has already made his decision: his primary focus for future martial soul enhancements will be speed, with the other enhancements being secondary.

At the very least, he has to contend for the title of the fastest person in Douluo Continent.

After testing the limits of the Moon Link with She Long, Qian Renxue, who had finished looting the corpse, returned with a disappointed look on her face.

"There is no soul bone."

Qian Renxue pouted, her face full of frustration.

Xiao Chenyu chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"Soul bones aren't that easy to get. If it were a ten-thousand-year-old Nightmare, it would probably drop a soul bone 100% of the time."

He wasn't worried about not having a soul bone, since as far as he knew, there would be plenty of soul beasts in the next 100,000 years.

Getting a set of 100,000-year-old soul bones isn't that difficult.

He didn't even care about a mere thousand-year-old soul bone.

With the Spirit Hall as their backer, conquering those 100,000-year-old spirit beasts would be a piece of cake.

If a fight were to break out, he believed that with the full strength of the Spirit Hall, they might not necessarily lose even against the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of course, this matter is too far removed from his current situation.

After obtaining the spirit rings, Xiao Chenyu and the others naturally had no reason to stay in Sunset Forest any longer and prepared to head out.

However, there was a small hiccup during the process, which was part of the plan.

"No, Uncle She! I want you to take me back!"

In a secluded grove not far from the outside world, Qian Renxue looked resolute, while Xiao Chenyu looked helpless.

She Long, on the other hand, looked on with amusement, standing to the side with his hands behind his back, saying nothing.

"Are you sure your soul power won't burst out if I hold you?" Xiao Chenyu sighed.

Qianxue's identity was meant to end the moment she replaced Xue Qinghe; this was something they had arranged before they arrived.

And clearly, this return already meant Qianxue's 'death'.

The Spirit Hall had already prepared a fake death device. Once Qian Renxue took it, she would be in a state of suspended animation for 24 hours.

This is enough time for them to get back to the Crown Prince's residence.

Meanwhile, inside the Crown Prince's residence, Qianxue's body had already been prepared.

Originally, he was supposed to die at the hands of a soul beast, but the plan was modified so that he would be disguised as being killed in a sneak attack.

They wandered around Sunset Forest for quite some time, but their contact with the Spirit Hall never ceased; they were secretly manipulating this matter.

Furthermore, at Xiao Chenyu's suggestion, some special disguises were added specifically for certain people to see.

However, the group has now disagreed on who should take Qianxue's body back to the Crown Prince's residence.

Xiao Chenyu clearly didn't want to be the first to stick his neck out. If he really brought the 'corpse' back to the Crown Prince's residence, the entire Tiandou City would know about him.

But clearly, for some unknown reason, Qian Renxue insisted on having Xiao Chenyu take the lead.

Meanwhile, She Long, standing nearby, indirectly supported Qian Renxue's decision, arguing that his concealment was inadequate and that he might be discovered by a titled Douluo.

Left with no other choice, Xiao Chenyu had to agree to Qian Renxue's idea.

Seeing Xiao Chenyu nod, Qian Renxue's pretty face lit up with a bright smile, just like a little girl who had won a victory.

She didn't know why, perhaps it was because of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, or perhaps it was because of the past six months of getting along, but she harbored a different kind of emotion towards Xiao Chenyu.

When her most beloved family members were not by her side, it was Xiao Chenyu who kept her company through those lonely years, and she has always remembered that.

It's just a pity that she can't stay by Xiao Chenyu's side as a girl forever.

Let's just consider this her whim.

"I will use my level 23 agility to rush towards the Crown Prince's residence at top speed. Please tell me any precautions now," Xiao Chenyu reminded him.

"Don't worry, these herbs were personally selected by Elder Ju. They will not only seal my life force, but also prevent any leakage of my soul power," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

In terms of the meticulousness of their plans, the Spirit Hall is in no way inferior.

"Your Majesty Chrysanthemum Douluo, then there shouldn't be any problem." Xiao Chenyu nodded.

In his eyes, the protagonist Tang San and Chrysanthemum Douluo were almost equal in terms of pharmacological knowledge.

If Tang San's pharmacological knowledge comes from his previous life's accumulation, then Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan is a native pharmacology master of Douluo Continent. He may be a little less knowledgeable about poisons, but his understanding of other herbs is even better.

After all, Tang San died young in his previous life, while Chrysanthemum Douluo not only has a celestial herb as his own martial soul, but also has been researching pharmacology for decades with the backing of the Spirit Hall.
