Chapter 555: The Extreme North

Upon hearing these words from Nan Feihuang, everyone present immediately felt a surge of confidence welling up from within.

And this confidence stemmed from Feihuang's strength and the success of his past plans, one after another.

"Good. My son is confident and powerful; what is there for me, the Emperor, that I cannot wait a year for?" Nan Tianchen laughed. This son could be called the most satisfying masterpiece of his life.

"What do you ministers think?"

"We shall strictly follow the decree of His Highness the Crown Prince," the ministers immediately bowed and said.

Although Nan Feihuang was young, he was already the backbone and the pillar of the country. To him, the Gu Lei Kingdom was as Qian Daoliu was to the Spirit Hall, and Tang Chen was to the Clear Sky Sect.

After the court session, Feihuang immediately summoned Xun Yu, Dian Wei, Shui Bing'er, and Nan Feiling.

For the past year or so, his main work had been his own cultivation, while also leading these lieutenants to cultivate together.

Now, his level had successfully broken through to Level 95, achieving the realm of a Super Douluo.

This qualitative change in level made Nan Feihuang very confident; if he were fighting anywhere outside of Wuhun City at this moment, he could suppress Qian Daoliu throughout the entire battle.

If Qian Daoliu were to fight him to the death, he would only need to pay the price of a minor injury at most to send the Limit Douluo to his death.

However, as long as they were still in Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu could communicate directly with the Angel Temple through the Offering Hall and obtain the blessing of the Angel God's power. In such a situation, Feihuang did not have much confidence.

He did not know if he could win, and even if he had a chance of victory, it would likely be a mutual destruction.

As for Tang Chen, even if he were just a glass cannon and a one-time-use item, his strength was solid. He might not be able to directly borrow the Asura God's godly power, but he held the Asura Sword in his hand.

Feihuang did not want to experience the power of a Super Artifact just yet.

But one day, he would use his own Halberd to snap that Asura Demon Sword in two with his own hands! Furthermore, under the assistance of Feihuang's double cultivation speed, Dian Wei and the others were also progressing extremely quickly.

Or rather, it was not just double.

Unlike others, Feihuang's "Increase Experience" soul skill could indeed only strengthen the cultivation assistance speed for ordinary people by one time, making one year of cultivation equal to two years for a normal person.

But for these three lieutenants whose souls were imprinted on the Dunjia Heavenly Book, and who were future Peerless God Generals, there was an additional multiplier of at least 2.5 times—actually higher than Feihuang himself.

Added to the fact that they had all consumed Immortal Herbs and had all learned the most superior internal cultivation methods, their actual efficiency was around four times.

One year of cultivation was equal to four years of cultivation for others.

What did four years mean for someone with Innate Level 20 soul power cultivating at full speed? Especially since these guys, because of consuming Immortal Herbs, had aptitude exceeding Innate Level 20; the strongest, Dian Wei, was enough to rival Qian Renxue's Innate Level 20, and even approached Nan Feihuang.

Think of Flender, who could manage to improve five levels in five years, a rate of one level per year.

This one year of time for Dian Wei, equivalent to four years, was enough to raise him by nearly seven levels in one go.

At this moment, Dian Wei was a Level 89 Peak Spirit Douluo, only one step away from achieving the position of a Title Douluo.

And Xun Yu was not far behind; his cultivation speed was only one notch slower than Dian Wei's, and he was now also a Level 86 Spirit Douluo.

Nan Feiling and Shui Bing'er, although not as outstanding, were still far beyond ordinary people; both were now Level 77 Spirit Saints.

Improving by more than ten levels seemed faster than Dian Wei, but of course, their ten-plus levels were mostly at the Spirit Emperor stage, and the difference in soul power between these levels was likely not even one-fifth of the Spirit Douluo level. "Everyone, we should set off. Get ready to go to the Extreme North!" Feihuang said to the group.

The Extreme North was a massive gathering place for Spirit Beasts that, in terms of sheer numbers, was not inferior to the Star Dou Great Forest.

There might not be as many Ferocious Beasts as in the Star Dou Great Forest, but the number of ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts was likely even greater.

Because the climate there was extremely harsh, those who could survive there were no simple characters.

Besides himself, Feihuang was also prepared to help the others complete their promotions there before returning. Although Dian Wei had fire and explosive attributes, one must never think that there were no suitable Spirit Beasts for him in the Extreme North.

It was true that ice attributes were the majority there, but some guys just liked challenges and specifically went to places contrary to their own attributes to temper themselves.

Since Feihuang had long prepared to head to the Extreme North, he naturally investigated news about it.

Don't forget, among the powerhouses who recently joined the Gu Lei Kingdom, two came from cities near the Extreme North.

One was Mo Qi, with the Flame Lion martial soul, a Level 73 Qiangong Xi Spirit Saint—this martial soul was considered a lower-tier version of the Fourth Offering's Blazing Lion martial soul. The other was the benefactor of Oscar from the original story, Haote, who possessed the top-tier ice-attribute Beast Spirit, the Snow Soul Demon Bear, a Level 76 Qiangong Xi Spirit Saint.

Feihuang had no feelings for that Mo Qi; after all, someone who could kill their own captain for a soul bone was not a good person.

It was just that Feihuang was not exactly a good person who punished evil and promoted good either. As long as this Mo Qi did not offend him, restrained his temper, followed the national laws, and did not betray him, he would still treat him with good food and drink, and give him the treatment and respect due to a Spirit Saint.

But Haote was different; this person valued relationships and righteousness, had an open-minded nature, and his aptitude was also quite good, making him worth cultivating.

As it happened, he was from the Extreme North. Several of Mo Qi's Flame Lion soul rings were hunted with his help, and it was he who told Feihuang that there were also fire-attribute Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North.

Moreover, the fire-attribute Spirit Beasts that appeared in the Extreme North were all the best among the fire attributes. They deliberately came to such a place completely contrary to their attributes to temper themselves, and both their strength and willpower were second to none.

Among them, there might even be a very small number of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts.

It was just that because their strength was too great, no one had been able to successfully hunt them down until now.

This was Feihuang's goal. Dian Wei was only one level away from breaking through to Title Douluo, and his ninth ring had to be at least at the Ten-Thousand-Year Level.

And the three great kings of the Extreme North were Feihuang's targets.

The Snow Maiden, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and the Titan Snow Demon King.

Oh right, there was also the adopted son of the Snow Maiden, the Ice Bear King Xiaobai. As long as he could obtain two of them as the seventh and eighth rings for the Dunjia Heavenly Book, Feihuang's goal would be accomplished.

As for the final ninth ring, it was of course Red Hare. Feihuang was confident that he could use this to reach the peak Quasi-God level of a Limit Douluo in one go.

By then, let alone Qian Daoliu just borrowing the Angel God's power, even if a real Third-Class God or even a Second-Class God descended to the mortal world, Feihuang felt he might not necessarily lose.

In fact, Feihuang had already roughly guessed what the subsequent trials for the Peerless God General would be; he was currently completing them in advance.

Bringing everyone to the palace gate, Haote was already waiting there.
