Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 124 (One Hundred and Twenty-Three): Elder's Decree
"It was Tang Hao, Tang Hao gave us the papal decree!"

Under the pressure of everyone's gazes, Yu Xiaogang revealed the answer.

"Tang Hao?" Bibi Dong's expression turned cold.

Where did Tang Hao get the papal decree?
It wasn't given to me by her; this is evidence from a previous transaction.

Bibi Dong spoke with an air of authority, her lips slightly parted: "A papal decree: whoever sees this token is as if the Pope himself were present!"

"Although you obtained the Papal Decree from the Spirit Hall's enemies, the token still holds value."

"The Spirit Hall can choose not to pursue the matter concerning Tang San this time."

She raised her scepter and pointed forward: "Ghost Douluo!"

Ghost Douluo fully understood his superior's intentions, transformed into a ghostly shadow, and snatched the token from Yu Xiaogang's hand.

"no no!"

Yu Xiaogang shouted twice, "This is my token!"

Losing the papal decree meant he lost his right to swagger around, which pained him greatly.

For a moment, Tang San felt somewhat dejected, and for this, he felt extremely ashamed.

It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Master wouldn't have lost his token.

Ghost Douluo returned to the Pope's side and respectfully presented the papal decree.

Bibi Dong took it and then looked at the victim of this competition: Han Tao.

"Leader of the Seven Treasures Team, could you please come up here?"

Han Tao was puzzled, but he still stepped forward.

"Here, this is the Elder's Token, which allows you to access the books in the library. How about we consider it compensation from the Spirit Hall?"

Bibi Dong's tone sounded gentle, but it contained an undeniable determination.

Ning Tian moved his lips, as if he wanted to speak.

Han Tao accepted it expressionlessly.

The papal decree was replaced with the elders' decree; that's quite a move.

The Elder's Decree belongs to the Hall of Worship faction, and it is carved with a majestic lion, which looks quite imposing.

Now that the matter is settled, then...

Bibi Dong solemnly announced to the crowd: "The match continues!"

The referee stepped forward and asked with a hint of concern, "How are you? Do you need to rest?"

Han Tao nodded: "Mm!"

Having obtained the Elder's Decree, the audience might feel some envy if he hadn't been injured.

If you are injured, it means that you obtained this "Elder's Token" because of the injury, and that explains the reason.

Although it still can't prevent Soul Masters from being envious, it can reduce the number of people involved.

Two days later, in Wuhun City.

On the Battle Arena, members of the Seven Treasures Team and the Divine Wind Team gathered together.

"Are you ready?" the referee asked.

After confirming everything is correct, announce, "The competition begins!"

The moment they met, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and the others completed their martial soul fusion once again.

He began to unleash his self-created soul skill: Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes!

Han Tao took out a hard bamboo handle from the package.

My Blue Silver Bamboo is still too weak and not suitable for high-intensity battles.

Although the age of the Blue Silver Bamboo can be increased to 9999 years through the distraction control method, the color of the soul ring will change, which may attract the attention of others.

Of course, this is not the point.

The main problem is that Han Tao is unavailable.

"Come on!" Han Tao calmly gazed ahead.

The soul skills of the Illusionary Wisdom Soul Bone were unleashed, and the mental network was completed.

Feng Xiaotian's thoughts, like one concept after another, appeared in Han Tao's mind.

A concept is a form of knowledge carrier that is independent of text, sound, and images.

The Gale Wolf unleashed its thirty-six consecutive slashes, accumulating power with each strike, awaiting the next unleashed attack.

"A pretty good self-created soul skill!"

"However, there is a qualitative difference between it and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique."

Feng Xiaotian immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Where?" Tang San couldn't understand the differences between the two soul skills, but Han Tao could, because it involved the control of "microscopic power".

Understanding "microscopic power" is key to understanding the fundamental principles of action-based soul skills.

"Soul skills are merely the accumulation of power, but they lack the accumulation of momentum!"

Momentum is a very broad concept.

Han Tao's understanding of this is that it is an air fluctuation caused by pure force.

The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is not merely an accumulation of power; as power is accumulated, so too is the momentum.

The powerful air currents were guided and manipulated by the soul skill.

External forces cannot disrupt the connection process of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, which is why this soul skill appears exceptionally powerful.

"The accumulation of momentum?" Feng Xiaotian asked, puzzled.

Han Tao did not answer his question: "Secondly, the connection of forces is not perfect."

"During the 24th to 27th strikes, the combined force was reduced by nearly half due to movement issues!"

"The maximum number of consecutive hits is too low, more than half that of the Chaotic Cloak."

"The connection speed is too slow and lacks flexibility, and cannot be changed in real time."

The Gale Wolf's Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes are no match for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

Whether it's the transmission of power, the disturbance of momentum, or the upper limit of the number of stackings, it lags behind it.

Feng Xiaotian did not answer Han Tao.

He remained silent and unassuming, unleashing his self-created soul skill.

Han Tao held a hard bamboo stick, like a teacher holding a pointer, and at a certain moment, gently tapped his body.

All the accumulated power was drawn away, and Han Tao, using this force, spun around and redirected it back to Feng Xiaotian's body.

"This is... the 16th strike?"

Clearly, he noticed Han Tao's actions.

But powerless to resist, his body was swept up by this force and spun like a top.

Like a dancer's final curtain call, Feng Xiaotian collapsed to the ground.

He questioned, "How could this be?"

Han Tao smiled slightly: "This is your weakness!"

"Was all my previous efforts in vain?"

Neglecting cultivation and painstaking research, the soul skill that was finally comprehended was criticized as worthless.

More importantly...
That's absolutely true!

Reality is unmoved by willpower; even if one chooses not to acknowledge it, it is still a fact!

Han Tao looked relieved, with a slight smile, and comforted her, "That doesn't count!"

"If you continue down this path, all your future efforts will be in vain!"

The worst is yet to come!

Han Tao respected Feng Xiaotian greatly, yet he uttered words that were utterly hurtful.

Every researcher should be encouraged, except for Yu Xiaogang.

He's become incredibly arrogant. His work is plagiarized from others, with added embellishments and a whole host of narrow-minded interpretations, resulting in the infamous "Ten Core Competencies of Soul Masters."

Feng Xiaotian choked.

It took me a long time to realize what was happening.

This is the Soul Arena, the competition venue, and a large crowd of spectators is watching from outside.

"Shinkaze Academy has been defeated?"

The situation is now clear.

The Martial Soul Fusion Technique formed by the four Soul Masters of Shenfeng Academy was broken by Han Tao.

The other three Soul Masters should also pose no threat, since Ning Rongrong hasn't even made a move yet.

"What a piece of trash!" Huo Wu glanced at it with disgust.

"That's not how it is, Fire Dancer, let me explain."

Feng Xiaotian quickly got up from the ground, trying to stop Huo Wu from leaving.

But
Just as he was about to touch Huo Wu's collar, her figure vanished instantly.

"Is this...an illusion?"
