Chương 105: Chapter 105: Sacr... Sacrifice
Seeing the situation stabilize, Ning Fengzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong having successfully absorbed their third soul rings, it was time for them to head back. Their next destination was the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
The infamous Shrek Academy was now behind them, and a brighter future awaited these two young prodigies.
The group was preparing to set off when suddenly—
Bone Douluo's face darkened. He stopped in his tracks, nine soul rings glowing faintly beneath him as he scanned his surroundings with full vigilance.
"Uncle Bone, is something wrong?" Ning Fengzhi asked urgently, activating his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, its seven soul rings shimmering into view.
Standing behind them, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged confused glances. They had no idea what was going on.
Bone Douluo's deep voice carried a serious tone: "Rongrong, Zhuqing, stay behind me at all costs. Do not move more than a hundred meters away from me. The creature that's coming… is no ordinary foe."
"A big one?" Ning Rongrong began to ask—but before she could continue, the trees ahead began to collapse in rapid succession.
Emerging from the forest was a massive beast, standing over ten meters tall, its oppressive presence sending chills down their spines.
...
Meanwhile, Ye Hao stood shirtless in the Death God Temple, engaged in fierce training. Without activating his martial soul, he effortlessly fended off four training dummies, holding his ground with ease.
Off to the side, Xiao Hong nodded approvingly. Based on its observations, soulmasters on the continent were far too reliant on their martial soul, neglecting the latent power within their own bodies.
After consuming the Blazing Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and soaking in the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ye Hao's body had been fully tempered, granting him immunity to both fire and ice. His physical potential was now fully unlocked.
Xiao Hong had brought Ye Hao back to this place primarily to fortify his foundation. Without it, Ye Hao wouldn't stand a chance of passing the Death God's First Trial.
After a while, Ye Hao dressed and emerged from his training room.
"Xiao Hong, where's that red underwear I gave you? Why aren't you wearing it?" Ye Hao teased after finishing his session.
Hearing this, Xiao Hong's canine face fell, glaring at Ye Hao in exasperation.
"What kind of gift is that? I even got mocked by Spidey for wearing it!"
But speaking of the Death Spider Emperor, where had it gone?
...
Using the Heart of Death, Ye Hao connected with the Death Spider Emperor and discovered it was engaged in a fierce battle.
On the outskirts of the Sunset Forest, Bone Douluo had transformed into a colossal bone dragon, his Martial Soul True Body bolstered by Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The two were fighting the Death Spider Emperor in an intense duel.
The Death Spider Emperor was frustrated to the extreme.
It had planned to hunt some weaker prey but had instead encountered Bone Douluo—a Titled Douluo whose strength matched its own.
As time passed, the Death Spider Emperor found itself struggling to cope. Bone Douluo's advantage lay in his seemingly endless spirit power, continuously replenished by Ning Fengzhi's supportive abilities.
When Bone Douluo prepared for another strike, the Death Spider Emperor's massive form suddenly vanished without a trace.
Surprised, Bone Douluo immediately began scanning for it with his soul power. A soul beast of this caliber, especially one as powerful as the Death Spider Emperor, was far too rare to simply let escape.
Back at the Death God Temple, the battered and bruised Death Spider Emperor stumbled in.
"I'll kill…" It began angrily—only to fall silent upon seeing Ye Hao and Xiao Hong.
Ye Hao: "…"
Xiao Hong: "…"
Ye Hao stared blankly. "Kill who, exactly?"
The Death Spider Emperor, eyes wide with panic, quickly backtracked: "No one. You must have misheard." Its survival instincts kicked in.
"How did you end up fighting Bone Douluo?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.
That Ning Fengzhi's group was in the Sunset Forest wasn't surprising—after all, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were there seeking their third soul rings. But what confused Ye Hao was why the Death Spider Emperor would cross paths with Bone Douluo and end up in such a dire state.
The Death Spider Emperor hesitated, stammering without an answer. Seeing this, Ye Hao didn't press further. Asking would yield no useful information.
Using the Death God's Heart, Ye Hao healed the Death Spider Emperor's injuries. Then, he gave a stern warning: "Stay here. Don't go wandering off again. If you encounter another Titled Douluo, you might end up captured and kept as a pet."
The Death Spider Emperor nodded fervently, promising to stay put.
As Ye Hao walked away, the Death Spider Emperor finally relaxed.
"You're harboring resentment, aren't you?" Xiao Hong shot it a disdainful glance.
The Death Spider Emperor shuddered, quickly replying, "Not at all, Brother Hong! I wouldn't dare!"
Xiao Hong narrowed its eyes. "Good. Now, there's something I need to tell you—something you should prepare yourself for mentally."
The Death Spider Emperor straightened up. "Brother Hong, I'm listening."
Xiao Hong smirked. "You'll need to… sacrifice yourself."
"WHAT?!" the Death Spider Emperor cried out in shock.
Xiao Hong's eyes gleamed. "What, you're unwilling?"
The Death Spider Emperor froze. "…"
Unwilling? Of course, it was unwilling! Sacrifice meant surrendering its soul ring and soul bone entirely—a suicidal act. How could it agree to that?
Seeing its hesitation, Xiao Hong smiled faintly. "I understand your reluctance. Sacrificing yourself is no small thing. But don't worry—I'm not asking you to do it for nothing. Once Ye Hao breaks through to Rank 100, you'll be resurrected."
"!!!"
"Is that true?" the Death Spider Emperor's eyes lit up.
Xiao Hong chuckled, raising its head confidently. "When has your Brother Hong ever lied to you?"
