Chapter 505: The Ninth Ring of the Fangtian Halberd

Feihuang watched the operation of the Dunjia Heavenly Book quietly.

He saw that the two great Dragon Kings, shrouded by the Dunjia Heavenly Book, had their immortal corpses dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye; soon, they turned into two skeletons.

The two forces converged toward the center, forming a red ring.

On it were five golden patterns; this was a 500,000-year Spirit Ring.

The Dunjia Heavenly Book utilized the power of the God Trial to gather the final strength of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, condensing it into this Spirit Ring as a reward for Nan Feihuang.

To be honest, the age seemed a bit low; one must know that in their prime, neither of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings was even slightly weaker than a standard million-year Spirit Beast, but there was no help for it—the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had been dead for too long, most of their power had already leaked away, and now that their remnant souls had also been ferried away by Nan Feihuang, the power remaining in their bodies had been turned into soul bones.

Being able to still have enough energy to condense a 500,000-year Spirit Ring was already quite good.

Feihuang could not help but sigh that the power left behind by the once-mighty Ice and Fire Dragon Kings was actually all that remained.

However, there was nothing to complain about; a 500,000-year Spirit Ring was sufficient as the Ninth Spirit Ring for the Fangtian Halberd.

It saved him from having to go find a suitable Spirit Beast to hunt; after all, even if one reached Level Ninety, without a Ninth Spirit Ring, one could not yet be called a Title Douluo.

If he were to prepare to break into Wuhun City alone, Feihuang had to reach the Nine Rings first to ensure his safety.

Feihuang used his soul power to guide the Spirit Ring, causing it to shroud his body.

A 500,000-year Spirit Ring was not easy to absorb; even for Feihuang, it would likely take two days, but it was only a matter of taking a little more time. With his physique and soul strength, a 500,000-year Spirit Ring posed no threat at all, and because the souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had already been ferried away, there was no soul shock within this Spirit Ring.

The soul power throughout Feihuang's body surged, rising in a straight line like a boiling thermometer; he was about to achieve the status of a true Title Douluo.

Even the people on the lake surface received no small benefit, thanks to this powerful force and the characteristic of their souls being fused with the Dunjia Heavenly Book.

Everyone's level had increased, especially Dian Wei, who had already begun to charge toward the eighty-plus level barrier.

Meanwhile, inside Gulei Royal City, the atmosphere there did not seem as good as it was on Feihuang's side.

Yang Wudi looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him and the three golden, shimmering pills in his hand with disappointment, sighing incessantly.

"I say, Old Yang, forget it. If it failed, it failed. Don't we still have the Dragon Transformation Pill? We aren't at a loss," Dugu Bo advised.

Yes, after nine months, Yang Wudi had attempted to refine the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill, but in the end, it had failed.

When the refining was halfway through, a problem occurred with the fusion of the medicinal liquid; it was not a problem with the alchemy technique, but that the flame power was insufficient, causing the medicinal liquid to fuse slowly and even begin to dissipate.

Even with the personal assistance of the Title Douluo Nan Tianchen, it was useless. Helpless, Yang Wudi had to cut his losses, abandon the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill, and switch to refining the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill.

Fortunately, because of his decisive action, at least these Dragon Transformation Pills were saved.

Using so many herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it was not all in vain after all.

Three Dragon Transformation Pills could generally create at least three Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses, and if one were lucky, there could even be a Title Douluo among them.

The key problem now was who to give them to. Although these pills had significant side effects, the fact that they could at least allow someone to become a Spirit Douluo in one go, with the best among them directly achieving the Title Douluo rank, meant they were divine pills that seized the creation of heaven and earth.

They could not be given out randomly.

Yang Wudi could not make the decision and ultimately chose to hand them over to Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue. After all, they were the King and Queen of the nation, so this happy trouble should be left for them to worry about.

Receiving the pills that were clearly light but felt extremely heavy in his hands, Nan Tianchen was filled with emotion. He had not expected Yang Wudi to be so generous; the pills he had worked so hard to refine were handed over to the state so easily, without keeping a single one for himself.

"Mr. Yang, you are selfless. Having just arrived in our country, you have already performed such a great service. I will certainly remember it firmly," Nan Tianchen said solemnly.

In fact, if Yang Wudi had taken one for himself, Nan Tianchen would not have said anything.

With Yang Wudi's potential, even if it were just a Dragon Transformation Pill, there was a very high probability of achieving the Title Douluo rank.

Little did they know, Yang Wudi was someone who simply liked alchemy, just like the blacksmiths in Gengxin City; the weapons they forged were never for their own use.

They preferred to send the weapons they crafted into the hands of suitable people.

Moreover, Yang Wudi did not believe his potential was exhausted; perhaps he could break through to Title Douluo on his own, so there was no need to sacrifice his potential to take a Dragon Transformation Pill.

"Your Majesty is too kind. My life was saved by the Crown Prince; what are a mere three pills? Besides, this was by no means my effort alone. If nothing else, the herbs used to refine the pills were contributed by Duduoluo Mianxia; his contribution is no less than mine," Yang Wudi said. "Your Majesty, I suggest that you must choose the candidates to take these three pills with caution. Loyalty to the country is naturally the most important, followed by their martial soul potential."

"It should not be too strong, otherwise taking the Dragon Transformation Pill would be equivalent to ruining their future; nor should it be too weak. After all, the Dragon Transformation Pill is not the Divine Dragon Pill; it does not guarantee a 100% chance of becoming a Title Douluo. It depends heavily on the user's own potential. It is best to choose those who have the potential for Spirit Saint or Spirit Douluo but almost no chance of becoming a Title Douluo; that is most appropriate."

"I understand, thank you, sir." Nan Tianchen nodded.

He could understand Yang Wudi's meaning; the medicinal power of the Dragon Transformation Pill was far inferior to the Divine Dragon Pill and lacked the terrifying effect of the Divine Dragon Pill that guaranteed one would become a Title Douluo.

If someone like Yu Xiaogang took it, let alone a Title Douluo, whether they could become a Spirit Saint in one go would be a huge question mark; this would undoubtedly be a waste.

According to Yang Wudi's idea, the candidates for the Dragon Transformation Pill should ideally have martial soul quality around the middle to high level.

Such martial souls generally have the potential for Spirit Saint or Spirit Douluo but are extremely difficult to advance to Title Douluo; they are the most suitable for taking it, and it would not ruin their future. After all, for someone who originally had almost no possibility of becoming a Title Douluo, what does it matter if they can no longer progress after taking a pill? Lan Xue looked at Nan Tianchen and said, "Tianchen, I have a few candidates; would you like to consider them?"

Nan Tianchen smiled slightly, "If I am not mistaken, your candidates and the few in my mind should be the same. Xue'er, why don't we write the names on paper together and then compare them?"

"Alright!" Lan Xue nodded, took paper and pen, and began to write with Nan Tianchen.

Before long, the two had each written down several names, and after comparing them, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.

Sure enough, the people they chose were exactly the same.

Nan Tianchen called for a eunuch, handed the names he had written to him, and ordered, "Go and pass the decree immediately; summon these people to the palace. I have matters to entrust to them."
