Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 185 Dai Mubai's Death
The Star Luo Empire maintains a rather cruel tradition.

The winners get everything, the losers get nothing.

Dai Mubai has already failed; he has neither the right nor the reason to command himself!

Zhu Zhuqing's expression revealed cruelty: "You are a loser!"

"If you die at the hands of Haotian Douluo, the Star Luo royal family won't care, and no one will avenge you!"

Dai Mubai looked dejected, his head hanging low: "I lost?"

"Losers have nothing!"

Looking up at the giant hammer that was gradually falling, everything that had happened flashed by like a fleeting glimpse.

"Yes. If I had tried just a little harder back then, would the outcome have been different?"

"If Zhu Zhuqing had seen a more ambitious and hardworking version of me back then, what would the outcome have been?"

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

As he lay dying, Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with longing, and he whispered something.
"The left leg bone of the Swift Wind Chaser and the right arm bone of the Explosive Burning Flame."

Boom!
The Haotian Hammer arrived as scheduled, and under its heavy blows, bricks and stones were reduced to dust.

"No!" the master cried out repeatedly.

Tang Hao ignored his obstruction, and Dai Mubai perished under the Clear Sky Hammer!
Dai Mubai's body did not turn into dust like bricks and tiles, because a Title Douluo does not have such destructive power. After all, this is the Douluo Continent, and even a level 100 god can only destroy the city gate with a full-force attack.

"What."

Upon seeing this, Tang San hurriedly retreated and fell into the master's arms.

Incredulous, he murmured, "Boss Dai is dead!"

"I suppose so!" Tang Hao's tone was arrogant and overbearing: "If he can withstand this blow from the Clear Sky Hammer, I might mercifully let him go!"

Yu Xiaogang was devastated!
He dared not criticize Tang Hao, but he could manipulate his students just as he could manipulate Qin Ming.
Pointing his finger at Zhu Zhuqing's nose, he angrily questioned, "Why didn't you summon your martial soul? Why wouldn't you save him?"

"If you're willing to save him, summon your martial soul and fuse it into the Netherworld White Tiger, and Dai Mubai won't die!"

Tang San echoed, "Yes!"

"Boss Dai's death was all because of you!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun didn't argue. Obeying Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's wishes and ignoring the truth, they also looked at her with disgust.

"Ha!" Tang Hao let out a contemptuous laugh.

Faced with everyone's accusations, Zhu Zhuqing appeared vulnerable: "What do you want me to do?"

"Tang Hao is a Title Douluo. Do you think we can win if I join forces with him?"

"Do you only feel satisfied if I die alongside Dai Mubai?"

Her voice even carried a hint of a sob.

Shrek's situation immediately attracted the attention of Star Luo Royal Academy.

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun stepped forward, looked at Dai Mubai who was lying on the ground, and felt joy in their hearts, but pretended to be heartbroken: "Dai Mubai, my poor brother!"

Then, the two looked at each other, and a tacit understanding arose spontaneously.

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

Tang Hao: "Hmm?"

Davis looked directly at him: "Your Majesty Haotian, you killed Prince Dai Mubai, a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family. You must give the Empire an explanation!"

"Don't pretend to be a good guy here!" Tang Hao's voice was filled with anger.

The Haotian Hammer condensed in his palm, drawing upon immense power within his body, ready to unleash its power.

Tang San looked displeased as his father was held accountable, his eyes darkening: "Dai Mubai once told me about the tradition of the Star Luo Empire: losers are considered expendable, and even if they die in the wilderness, they will not be held accountable!"

Indeed, the prince of the Star Luo Empire lost the competition, and the empire turned a blind eye to it.

Zhu Zhuyun sneered: "So, you had your father kill him?"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were stunned.

She looked at Tang San with a slightly skeptical gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tang San's expression was uncertain. "What benefit would I get from killing Boss Dai?" Yu Xiaogang immediately declared, "I believe in Tang San. He wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, just recently, Tang Hao almost killed me too!"

Bibi Dong protected Yu Xiaogang, but did not protect Dai Mubai, instead waiting for everything to happen.

Han Tao also waited patiently for things to develop.
"Ye Lingling, catch!" She took out two steamed buns and tossed them over.

Steamed buns are food-type soul masters recruited by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they are made by them to restore soul power.

"Now, activate Concentration!"

Ye Lingling hummed in agreement.

Then, Han Tao forcibly activated his mind and catalyzed his Purple Demon Eye to the "Mustard Seed" realm!

The "Phantom Space" opens, and Han Tao attempts to read Davis's mind.

"Faced with the attack of Haotian Douluo, he completed the Martial Soul Fusion of the Netherworld White Tiger, creating a contrast with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and proving their unity to the Star Luo Emperor."

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun are not ordinary characters.

There is a deeper meaning behind their outrageous behavior.

"Good heavens!" Han Tao was also taken aback.

"Teamwork and unity are very important in the eyes of the Star Luo Emperor!"

Because the perfect form of Martial Soul Fusion can bring the Netherworld White Tiger's strength to the God level.

The Star Luo Emperor did not understand the theory of the fusion of "bloodline and soul power," so he held a one-sided view:
To achieve a perfect Martial Soul Fusion Skill, one can only rely on "unity and tacit understanding".

As for holding Tang Hao accountable for his mistakes?

As long as Davis and Zhu Zhuyun don't have a relapse, they won't have such thoughts.

All those touching performances were nothing but a show, a performance to demonstrate "unity" to the Star Emperor!
Han Tao shifted his attention away from Davis.

The purple light in his pupils, like a ghost piercing his soul, invaded Tang San's mind once again.

Blue Silver Grass

How can Blue Silver Grass be restored?

Although the current situation is extremely critical, and Boss Dai has only just died.

However, Tang San's thoughts were not saddened by him, or rather, "Brother Dai" was not important to Tang San at all.

Tang San's thoughts remained focused on his martial soul.

"etc."

Thoughts flicker amidst disillusionment, ultimately freezing a particular image in time:
Han Tao extracted the Eight Spider Lances venom, then took out the remains of the Snow-White Swan Kiss from the package and fused them with the Soul Bone venom.

"Snow-white Swan Kiss"

"A magical herb!" Tang San suddenly awoke with a start.

His eyes gleamed with barely concealed joy: "The immortal herb! The immortal herb can definitely heal my martial soul!"

Through the link of random memories, Tang San began searching through the "Pharmacopoeia" in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, and knowledge about immortal herbs once again appeared before Han Tao's eyes.
The characteristics of various medicinal herbs, the methods of taking individual medicinal herbs, and the combination of medicinal herbs are all presented in the book.

"Oh wow, that's pretty complete?" Han Tao smiled.

The contents of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu overlap with Yang Wudi's encyclopedia of immortal herbs, and also extend into other areas. By learning from each other, one can gain a deeper understanding of immortal herbs.

"but."

"This makes no sense, does it?"

Gaining the right knowledge at the wrong time leaves only regret.

The immortal herbs have all been eaten. The remaining two plants, "Blazing Apricot Blossom" and "Eight-Cornered Ice Grass," are now extremely poisonous under the influence of "Snowy Swan Kiss." Even a glance at them would be a death sentence!
Han Tao sighed, "Sigh!"

Not every exploration will yield results and benefits, and it is not necessarily frustrating to learn some worthless information.

Tap your fingers lightly on the table.

A possibility seemed to have occurred to him: "Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng"
