Chapter 16

Good buddy, you still despise it?

Good buddy, you still look down on me?

Thus: "Good buddy, you still despise it?"

Upon hearing this, the three immediately started complaining.

Translation: "The three of them heard this and immediately started complaining."

My martial soul is the Dragon Pattern Staff; if you don't absorb it, why not give it to me? Once I successfully absorb it, I can break through to rank seventy and become a Soul Saint, and incidentally hunt a soul ring.

Translation: "My martial soul is the Dragon Pattern Staff; if you don't absorb it, why not give it to me? Once I absorb it successfully, I can break through to rank seventy and become a Soul Saint, and incidentally go hunt a soul ring."

We need to keep "martial soul" as martial soul (glossary), "Dragon Pattern Staff" as Dragon Pattern Staff, "Soul Saint" as Soul Saint, and "soul ring" as soul ring.

Li Yussong pondered for a moment, then spoke.

Translation: "Li Yunsong pondered for a moment, then spoke."

Alright, Old Li, you absorb it.

Translation: "Fine, Old Li, you absorb it."

All right, Grandfather, take it and absorb it.

Translation: "All right, Grandfather, take it and absorb it."

If there's more in the future, I'll give it to you.

Translation: "If there's more in the future, I'll give it to you."

Li Fei looked at Flandre and Zhao Wují and said.

Translation: "Li Fei looked at Fland and Zhao Wují and said."

It's fine, it's fine; if it weren't for Xiao Fei bringing us money, we'd still be penniless.

Translation: "It's fine, it's fine; if it weren't for Xiao Fei bringing us money, we'd still be penniless."

Moreover, having an extra Soul Saint at Shrek Academy is also a good thing.

Translation: "Moreover, our Shilaike Academy gaining another Soul Saint is also a good thing."

In the future, we'll be able to do even more, and our status will be stronger!

Translation: "In the future we'll be able to do even more, and our status will be stronger!"

Flandre and Zhao Wují also said, quite sensibly.

Translation: "Fland and Zhao Wují also spoke sensibly."

Then I won't be polite!

Translation: "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Li Yussong took it and directly absorbed it.

Translation: "Li Yunsong took it and directly absorbed it."

Absorbing a soul bone is easier than absorbing a soul ring.

Translation: "Absorbing a soul bone is easier than absorbing a soul ring."

Relying on Li Yussong's rank sixty-nine Soul Emperor cultivation, it was absorbed in an instant.

Translation: "Relying on Li Yunsong's sixty-nine rank Soul Emperor cultivation, it was absorbed in an instant."

Hum! His soul power also increased by one level! From rank sixty-nine he became a rank seventy quasi-Soul Saint!

Translation: "Buzz! His soul power also increased by one rank, going from sixty-nine to seventy, becoming a quasi-Soul Saint!"

All that's left is to hunt the seventh soul ring!

Translation: "All that's left is to hunt the seventh soul ring!"

After sending Xiao Fei away, we'll spend money to gather some high-level people to help me hunt the seventh soul ring," said Li Yussong.

Translation: "After sending Xiao Fei away, we'll spend money to gather some high-level people to help me hunt the seventh soul ring," said Li Yunsong.

The soul beast for his seventh soul ring is at least thirty to fifty thousand years old; Li Yussong plans to absorb as high a year as possible, since his physical condition is now very strong, and his bodily strength is likewise.

Translation: "The soul beast for his seventh soul ring is at least thirty to fifty thousand years old; Li Yunsong plans to absorb as old a one as possible, since his physique is now very strong, and his bodily strength is likewise."

These days he has also been absorbing a lot of whale gelatin.

Translation: "These days he has also been consuming a lot of whale gelatin."

Since the Li family became a billionaire household, they have been secretly arranging overseas personnel to purchase large amounts of whale gelatin, ranging from century-old to millennium-old, plentiful.

Translation: "Since the Li family became a billionaire household, they have secretly arranged overseas for people to purchase large amounts of whale gelatin, ranging from century-old to millennium-old, with plenty of ten-thousand-year-old stock."

Now the Li family still has a large stockpile.

Translation: "The Li family's warehouse still has a large stockpile."

Naturally, purchasing so much would arouse suspicion; the Li family's external claim is that they are researching a drug to help men and women with arousal, with no side effects, no foul odor, no fishy smell.

Translation: "Naturally, purchasing this much would raise suspicion, so the Li family's external claim is that they are researching a drug to enhance male and female arousal with no side effects, no foul odor, and no fishy smell."

This is naturally quite reasonable.

Translation: "That is naturally quite reasonable."

Because in this world, people only know that whale gelatin can be used for arousal, and it is very smelly and fishy, so it's not very popular.

Translation: "Because in this world, people only know that whale gelatin can be used as an aphrodisiac, and moreover it smells foul and fishy, so it's not very popular."

So when they found out it was actually used for this, everyone naturally accepted and believed it.

Translation: "So upon learning that it was actually used for this purpose, everyone naturally accepted and believed it."

"Grandfather, how many years' worth are you planning to absorb?" Li Fei asked.

Translation: "\"Grandfather, how many years' worth are you planning to absorb? \" Li Fei asked."

"Thirty to fifty thousand years; find one with dragon bloodline, and whoever we encounter first, we'll absorb," Li Yussong said after thinking.

Translation: "\"Thirty to fifty thousand years; find one with dragon bloodline and absorb whichever we encounter first. \" Li Yunsong said after thinking."

Li Fei said: "There's no need to let me leave; maybe keeping me around could be useful at a critical moment."

Translation: "Li Fei said: \"There's no need to let me leave; perhaps keeping me around could be useful at a critical moment. \""

"Your ability can frighten soul beasts to death, but I don't know if others can absorb it," Li Yussong said.

Translation: "\"Your ability can scare soul beasts to death, but I don't know if others can absorb it. \" Li Yunsong said."

"Then when the soul beast kowtows, you just strike it with full force to kill it—problem solved," Li Fei's idea, though somewhat immoral, is very practical.

Translation: "\"Then when the soul beast kowtows, you just strike it with full force to kill it—problem solved. \" Li Fei's idea is somewhat immoral, but very practical."

I think Xiao Fei's idea is worth a try.

Translation: "\"I think Xiao Fei's idea is worth a try. \""

If it doesn't work, then we'll just have Xiao Fei's martial soul absorb it.

Translation: "\"If it doesn't work, we'll just have Xiao Fei's martial soul absorb it. \""

Flandre stepped forward, pushed up his glasses, and said.

Translation: "Fland stepped forward, pushed up his glasses, and said."

Zhao Wují said: "I have no objections; since we're already here, we might as well finish absorbing and then head back—Xiao Fei isn't weak."

Translation: "Zhao Wují said: \"I have no objections; since we're already here, we might as well finish absorbing and then head back—Xiao Fei isn't weak. \""

"All right, then let's continue setting out," Li Yussong nodded.

Translation: "\"All right, then let's continue setting out. \" Li Yunsong nodded."

Just as the three were about to leave, seven people rushed out from the bushes ahead.

Translation: "Just as the three were about to leave, seven people rushed out from the bushes ahead."

"Your Highness, this is the Azure Dragon Turtle we've been hunting—it's dead! Who did this?!"

Translation: "\"Your Highness, this is the Azure Dragon Turtle we've been hunting—it's dead! Who did this?! \""

The seven people looked at the already-dead Azure Dragon Turtle ahead, fuming with anger.

Translation: "The seven people looked at the already-dead Azure Dragon Turtle ahead and were furious."

"This is a rare super soul beast; we spent a year tracking its traces, and now someone else has beaten us to it!"

Translation: "\"This is a rare, super-powerful soul beast; we spent a year tracking its traces, and now someone else has swooped in and taken it! \""

"Did you guys kill it?!"

Translation: "\"You killed it?! \""

"Don't you know we've been hunting and kicking that Azure Dragon Turtle, and we've already wounded it—we were the first to find it!"

Translation: "\"Don't you know we've been hunting and kicking that Azure Dragon Turtle, and we've already wounded it with our attacks? We were the first to discover it! \""

Among the seven people, six of them angrily glared at Flandre and the four others, their eyes flashing with cold light.

Translation: "Among the seven, six angrily glared at Fland and his four companions, their eyes flashing with cold light."

"Your Highness? Being addressed like that shows this group's identity is not simple."

Your Highness? Being addressed like that shows this group's identity is not simple.

Li Fei and the others silently thought to themselves.

Translation: "Li Fei and the others thought to themselves."

"So what if we killed it? We don't even know if you were tracking and discovering this dragon turtle; killing it is our skill, while you failing to kill it and letting it escape is your incompetence."

Translation: "\"So what if we killed it? \" \"We don't know if you were tracking and discovering this dragon turtle; killing it is our skill, while you failing to kill it and letting it escape is your incompetence. \""

Flandre scoffed.

Translation: "Fland snorted disdainfully."

The next second.

Translation: "The next second."

He stepped forward.

Translation: "A step fell."

A four-eyed cat owl appeared, with seven soul rings on its feet.

Translation: "A Four-eyed Cat Owl appeared, with seven soul rings on its feet."

Zhao Wují also stepped forward, and the Mighty Golden Bear appeared, with seven soul rings manifesting as well.

Translation: "Zhao Wují also stepped forward, the Mighty Golden Vajra Bear appeared, and seven soul rings also surfaced."

Li Yussong summoned the Dragon Pattern Staff, emitting a rank seventy soul power fluctuation, yet beneath his feet six soul rings rose.

Translation: "Li Yunsong summoned the Dragon Pattern Staff, emitting a seventy-rank soul power fluctuation, while six soul rings rose beneath his feet."

Although only six rings, his strength is enough to rival a Soul Saint! Li Fei, meanwhile, watched from behind without releasing his martial soul.

Translation: "Although only six rings, his strength is enough to match a Soul Saint! Li Fei, meanwhile, watched from behind without releasing his martial soul."

"Two Soul Saints, one Soul Emperor—no, this guy's aura feels off; he should be a six-ring Soul Saint who has reached rank seventy but hasn't yet hunted his seventh soul ring!"

Translation: "\"Two Soul Saints, one Soul Emperor—no, this guy's aura feels off; he should be a six-ring Soul Saint who has reached rank seventy but hasn't yet hunted his seventh soul ring. \""

Seeing this, everyone frowned and their faces darkened.

Translation: "Seeing this, everyone furrowed their brows and their faces fell."

As for that little brat, they couldn't even see through his cultivation.

Translation: "As for that little brat, they actually couldn't see through his cultivation."

But they faintly sensed that this child was not ordinary.

Translation: "But they vaguely sensed that this child was not ordinary."

The six individuals all released their soul rings and martial souls.

Translation: "The six people all released their soul rings and martial souls."

Various weapons and beast martial souls.

There is one Soul Saint, and the other five are all Soul Emperors.

And the middle-aged man before them is the His Highness they spoke of.

His martial soul is a golden great blade, faintly exuding draconic might.

Six soul rings appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black.

Seven against four, and they still have a child who's a burden, but the advantage is on their side.

This azure dragon turtle was what he had hunted for; after painstakingly waiting a year, it ended up being a wedding dress for someone else—this resentment he could not swallow.

"You stole the His Highness's destined spirit beast—do you still have any justification?"

"I am the son of the Prince of the Balkar Kingdom!!"

"Now I give you two options!"

"First, join us in hunting down my seventh soul ring and become my subordinate, and this matter will be settled."

"Second, you die here!"

The middle-aged man said coldly.

Both sides faced off, the tension thick as gunpowder.

"They outnumber us, we are at a disadvantage, and this person's identity is not simple!"

"We still need to protect Li Fei; if we get distracted, it won't look good."

"I'll hold them off; you take Li Fei and leave."

Flender, Li Yunsong, and Zhao Wuji sent mental transmissions.

Li Fei naturally heard it as well; after a moment of silence, he sent a mental transmission: "It just so happens I haven't had a chance to act—let me take this opportunity to practice my hand. However, after seeing my strength and soul rings, these people cannot be left alive!"

After glancing at their martial souls, a barely perceptible wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He stepped forward and said lightly: "What of the prince's son? Dare you fight me?"

"If you lose, we'll help you hunt a spirit beast and let you join us."

Tuo Leike snorted disdainfully: "You're just a little brat—haven't even grown your hair yet?"

"Is that so?"

Li Fei summoned the Azure Dragon Staff, and a terrifying dragon's roar emerged.

Three fearsome soul rings—purple, black, black—rose from beneath his feet.

"Everyone, listen to the dragon's roar!" Li Fei's eyes flashed with cold light as he unleashed his first soul skill, Azure Dragon Nine Strengths, and his second soul skill, Azure Dragon's Power, shooting toward the middle-aged man—if that staff strike landed directly, not even his head would remain intact.

Against martial souls and spirit beasts related to dragons, this possesses an absolutely suppressive effect.

For those not related to dragons, since Li Fei's rank is not high, the suppressive effect won't be too strong.

But unfortunately, the middle-aged man's martial soul happens to be dragon-related—this time he's doomed!
