Chapter 250: Nan Feihuang's Decision

Nan Feihuang set a time limit of two years for himself.

Because he had to reach the Sixtieth Level first; regardless of what the plan was, for Nan Feihuang, there was only one thing that was always the most important, and that was his own strength.

The Overlord Halberd, the Ghost God Halberd, Unparalleled Skills, and so on were certainly ultimate techniques that could rapidly increase combat power, but Nan Feihuang had always believed that the depth of one's own cultivation was the foundation of everything.

Challenging those of a higher level was certainly exhilarating, but wouldn't it be more convenient if he could make the enemy gasp for air just by relying on his soul power?

"Kill Tang Hao in two years!" Lan Xue and Nan Tianchen were startled by their son's bold words; even the Spirit Hall would not dare to claim they could remove this thorn in their side within two years. Where did this child get such confidence?

Lan Xue frowned; she felt that perhaps her son had become a bit conceited after winning the Soul Master Tournament, and she couldn't help but advise, "Huang'er, although your strength has improved extremely quickly, you must not be overly ambitious."

But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Nan Tianchen, "Xue'er, I believe in our son; he must have his own ideas. Huang'er, if there is any part of your plan where you need the help of your father and mother, feel free to speak up. Your father only has two requirements: first, ensure your own safety; second, ensure the safety of the kingdom!"

A father's expectations for his child are always higher than a mother's.

Nan Tianchen hoped his son would become a dragon; he knew his son had already grown up, was smarter than him, and would soon be stronger than him as well. It was time for this sole heir to gradually come into contact with the real power of the kingdom.

But as a father, it was impossible for him to say he had no worries at all; Tang Hao was not only extremely strong himself, but he also had Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect behind him.

The overall strength of the Gu Lei Kingdom was still inferior to the Clear Sky Sect, and once a flaw appeared in Nan Feihuang's plan, both he and the kingdom would be in danger. Therefore, he and Lan Xue had to be able to handle the aftermath for Nan Feihuang.

Nan Feihuang nodded, "Don't worry, Father, I have a sense of proportion. I will not be careless or underestimate the enemy. If there is a need, I will also ask Mother to take action."

Lan Xue smiled, "Why say 'ask' between mother and son?" Hearing Nan Feihuang say this, she felt much more at ease; as long as the child was not blindly arrogant and knew how to borrow their strength, it was fine.

She had worked hard to break through to become a Title Douluo, wasn't it just to help her husband and son?

"Father, Mother, for the next two years, I want to focus on improving my combat power. For this reason, I don't want to work behind closed doors and am prepared to go to a place for bitter cultivation; I ask for your permission." Feihuang cupped his hands; this was a decision he had made long ago.

After the tournament, the days of playing house were over.

He had already honed his Single-Handed Eighteen Picks to the extreme; for the next two years, he wanted to achieve a surge in combat power, and the best way was to advance on all fronts.

That is, to simultaneously advance his high-level halberd techniques, the Ghost God Halberd and the Overlord Halberd, while increasing his soul power.

For an ordinary person, it would certainly be difficult to balance both, but Nan Feihuang was different. His unique constitution, the same Ghost God Body as Lv Bu, allowed him to nourish his cultivation through battle and increase his soul power during combat, but it had to be a true life-and-death struggle, not the sparring kind found in the Soul Fighting Arena.

Furthermore, the Ghost God Halberd and the Overlord Halberd were both battlefield halberd techniques; only by honing them in slaughter could one truly master them.

Therefore, his destination had always been very clear.

"Little brother, where are you going? Isn't it good for our family to always be together? Wenruo is going to the Tianshuang Principality, and you are also leaving; I can't bear it, and this way, everyone won't even have the cultivation bonus anymore." Nan Feiling looked at Nan Feihuang with reluctance upon hearing this, hoping he could change his mind and stay.

"Sister, I won't be gone for too long. At the fastest one year, at the slowest two, I will definitely return. And this time, I must go." Nan Feihuang's mind was made up; no one could change it.

He had to accelerate his cultivation and master the Ghost God Halberd or the Overlord Halberd. After all, only by practicing these two halberd techniques could he, like Lv Lingqi, unleash the final three stances of these two techniques, which were the Unparalleled Skills of Lv Bu and Xiang Yu.

Lv Bu's Unparalleled Skills are as follows:

Earth Peerless: Peerless Heaven Palm.

Air Peerless: Ash Strike.

True Peerless: Heaven Overlord Peerless Carving.

Xiang Yu's Unparalleled Skills are:

Earth Peerless: Overlord Horizontal Block.

Air Peerless: Overlord Lifting Tripod.

True Peerless: Power Pulls Mountains, Spirit Covers the World.

As long as he learned these six Unparalleled Skills, even if he were just a newly entered Spirit Saint, Nan Feihuang would have the confidence to slash a Title Douluo of the strength of Chrysanthemum and Ghost.

"Huang'er, where exactly do you want to go?" Lan Xue asked worriedly. She could tell that Nan Feihuang's tone was not quite right; he was likely going to some very dangerous place, otherwise he would not have requested their permission so solemnly.

"Mother, you don't need to worry too much. Actually, the place I'm going to is just for academic research," Nan Feihuang laughed. "It's the kind where every day I study the transition of the human respiratory tract from dynamic to static on a physical level, as well as the clinical manifestations of human muscle fiber tissue colliding with metal."

Lan Xue's eyebrows twitched. She didn't understand, but she couldn't show that she didn't understand, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing as a Queen, so she could only pretend to understand, "Hmm, it sounds like a good place; the professional terminology is very high-end!"

"Sigh!" Nan Tianchen sighed helplessly. His wife was good at everything, but her personality was too simple. After all, she had spent a lot of energy on combat, which led to her cleverness not being very developed.

The meaning of his son's words could be summarized in two words: killing people, and it was killing people every single day.

For such a place, Nan Tianchen could only think of one, "Huang'er, the place you want to go is Slaughter City, right?"

Nan Feiling was shocked after hearing this, "Slaughter City! Father, are you talking about that paradise of sin that is said to be in a state of slaughter at every moment?"

As a Princess of the Gu Lei Kingdom, she had read the domestic classics. Among the most dangerous places on the Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sunset Forest, Death Canyon, and the Extreme North were all at the top of the list, but the one that occupied the first place was precisely this Slaughter City.

The Gu Lei Kingdom did not have detailed intelligence on what was inside, but just the phrase "in a state of slaughter at every moment" made one's whole body feel cold.

Even Lan Xue felt goosebumps all over when she heard the name Slaughter City. Of course, she knew this place; in fact, she had once thought about whether she should go there to venture.

As a result, she had just walked to the small tavern outside the city that led to Slaughter City when she was scared away by the murderous aura and bloodthirstiness coming from inside.

After all, she was not the Title Douluo expert she was today at that time; she was just a girl with some talent, so it was not shameful to be scared.

But that was just outside the city; the murderous aura and bloodthirstiness outside the city were already so terrifying, who knew what it would be like inside.

The place her son wanted to go was actually this kind of hellhole; how could anyone be at ease?
