Douluo's Gourd

300 years ago, the ancestors of the Zhou family were persecuted by their enemies and were unfortunately shot down a cliff during the fight. Unexpectedly, they survived and an ancient ruins were discovered at the bottom of the valley.

That's when fate changed.

Twenty years later, the ancestors of the Zhou family, whose cultivation level had skyrocketed, re-entered the world. Not only did they take revenge and kill their enemies, they also used their enemies' assets to buy the land ownership of the ancient ruins.

That nameless valley transformed and became the ancestral land of the Zhou family.

...

Countless torches spread all over the walls illuminate this independent underground space as brightly as daylight.

The magnificent domes, gorgeous murals and reliefs, as well as the sculptures and tombstones standing on the walls like knights, when put together do not appear abrupt and weird, but have a unique harmony.

In the center of the hall, stood a solitary giant statue.

The figure has no carved facial features, the stone used for construction is very ordinary, and the limbs and clothes are not carefully crafted. It looks so rough and incompatible with everything around it.

It is about ten meters high. It just stands quietly, but it seems to be the center and focus of the world.

A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Zhou family entered this place by mistake, and accidentally started the trial with their soul power.

There are ten rounds of trials, and the standard for passing the level is to survive for ten minutes in the hands of the soul beasts that continuously appear.

After each round of customs clearance, there will be a three-month rest period. Those who have not continued to open the trial for three months will lose their souls.

As for the reward, after killing the soul beast, you will get a trace of extremely refined soul power, which can increase the upper limit of soul power without any side effects.

Therefore, this is a paradise for the brave and a purgatory for the cowards.

"The rest time after each round is to allow you to absorb the previous experience and lessons and gain more growth. Wenxiu, there is no need to rush to start the ninth round of trials."

Her brother's persuasion echoed in her ears, and Nidia walked towards the statue silently, expressing her attitude through actions.

This kind of quarrel has been carried out many times before, and it is completely meaningless except a waste of words.

The tall statue seems to be staring ahead.

Even if it is just a statue, you can feel the smell of war and gunpowder smoke from it.

There are obviously no carved eyes, but at first glance it looks like there is a real giant staring at him.

Nidia took a deep breath, and the majestic soul power condensed on her fingertips, and then shot out, covering the statue's face.

"Om-"

The gorgeous palace began to tremble slightly. At this moment, wisps of mist rose from the ground and slowly condensed into shape.

It's like a ghost returning to the world from hell, but it's far from that clear. It can't see its face clearly, and it doesn't have a stable body.

But one can feel the pure malice towards life that cannot be ignored.

Nitya has been prepared for her eternal appearance. The bright soul ring rises from her feet, the moonlight scepter emits light to isolate evil spirits, and the crown on top keeps her absolutely calm and awake.

The clear soul barrier blocks out all fluctuations and vibrations, conveying a reassuring sense of weight.

Amid the violent tremors, even the murals began to shake, and hundreds of twisted ghosts stepped forward and charged towards Nidia.

A dazzling light emerged from Nidia's body, and the first soul ring that concentrated the power of all the soul rings showed unimaginable power.

The surging soul power swept across all directions with ice and frost. In an instant, hundreds of ghosts were completely transformed into ice sculptures. Even the torches hanging on the far wall were not spared and were extinguished one after another.

But Nidia didn't stop there, the second soul ring lit up immediately.

"Boom."

The full moon, compressed to the extreme, rose into the sky.

As the torches were extinguished, the dim full moon became the only source of light in the hall.

The ice that had stopped spreading continued to expand under the moonlight, and in the blink of an eye, the entire palace was covered in frost.

The ghosts hidden in the earth had just emerged from the ground. Before they had time to take shape, they were turned into large and small ice sculptures by the ice.

Even if ferocious ghosts occasionally break through the control of the ice, the slowdown and slowness brought about by low temperature are like heavy shackles, turning them into slow-moving targets.

This is the terrifying thing about field-control type soul masters. As long as sufficient time is given to lay the ground, then one person can form an army and one can fight against a hundred.

Wisps of pure soul power emerged from the ice sculpture and merged into Nidia's body, replenishing most of the soul power that had dried up in her body, and barely maintaining a good condition.

The extremely low ambient temperature in turn strengthens the power of soul skills and at the same time reduces the consumption of soul power required to release soul skills.

A positive cycle is created.

The ten-minute countdown passed by in a flash, and the ghosts one after another turned into sporadic points of light and rose up in the sound of silent wailing, and were annihilated in the air.

The palace no longer shook, new ghosts no longer emerged from the earth, and everything returned to calm. Only the eternal statues still stood there, watching everything silently.

It was finally over. A trace of exhaustion appeared in Nidia's eyes, and the blurring scenes in front of her all showed that her spirit had reached its limit.

It is not difficult to pass the trial, but if you want to gain more, you need to use the least strength to cause the most damage. If it were not for the help of the external soul bone, she would not be able to persist.

Crisp applause sounded in the hall.

The elder brother praised exaggeratedly: "You are indeed a genius that comes out of the Zhou family in a century, Wenxiu, I knew you could do it."

Nitya straightened her back and silently supported her body with the scepter. Even in front of her brother, she did not want to show her weak side.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"Don't call me that disgusting name."

"Grandpa..." As soon as Zhou Liqing started speaking, he received a frosty look. He raised his hands in surrender and said, "Well, even if you don't mention the old man, you don't need to be so hostile to the family. At least after After years of reflection, the clan elders have realized their mistakes, and the previously seized resources have been reissued as expected. "

"You came all the way here just to talk about these boring nonsense?" Nitya sneered: "Please clarify the order, they don't think they are wrong."

"It's just that I have grown to a point that they can't ignore. If I continue to act deaf and mute, others will only think that they are blind, which will affect the stability of the power in their hands."

"If you take those resources back, I won't accept them."

Zhou Liqing shrugged and put the storage bracelet he just took out back into his pocket, "If you reject their kindness like this, your life will not be easy in the future."

"Oh, those old guys' heads have long been eroded by money and power." Nidia's eyes were full of disdain.

...

"It's so lawless. We all bowed our heads. What else does she want to do!" A tea cup worth hundreds of gold soul coins was smashed to pieces. "What an ignorant white-eyed wolf!"

"Fourth brother, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as the girl." The old man sitting in the guest of honor seat said unhurriedly: "Since she refuses to ease the relationship, marry her off as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble in the family in the future. "

The figure on the main seat did not object. Sometimes silence is an attitude.
