Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 240 Healing Bounty
Heavenly Dou Empire, City Lord's Hall.

The Snow Night Emperor gazed at the rising sun, its brilliant rays reflecting a dazzling array of colors on the flat surface of the moat.

"pity."

Such beautiful dawn light, yet it caused the death of her own child, Prince Avalanche, the night before.

Perhaps it was grief, or perhaps it was melancholy, but his heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Guard."

"Guard."

He called out weakly, and in the dim light, he could see figures rushing towards him.

"Father!"

Xue Qinghe rushed forward and helped up Emperor Xue Ye.

His expression had lost its usual calm; his voice trembled as he asked urgently, "Father, what's wrong?"

Emperor Xueye trembled, unable to speak.

The lips are purple, and the patient's breath is weak and faint.

Xue Qinghe: "No, how is that possible?"

“My father is the Soul Emperor. Even if Prince Xue Beng’s death caused him great grief, it wouldn’t be to this extent.”

Then, he turned his gaze to the numerous guards, his eyes chillingly cold: "Go find a doctor quickly!"

"Pass on the message: I'm willing to be a doctor, a healing soul master, or any kind of pharmacist or alchemist, as long as they can save my father."

He paused slightly, as if he were hesitating about something, then gritted his teeth and said:

"I am willing to offer the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, as my reward!"

His tone was resolute, and his eyes were firm.

With the order issued, the entire power of the Heaven Dou Empire was mobilized. This announcement was relayed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and reached the ears of Ye Lingling and Han Tao.

"See?" Han Tao laughed, "The opportunity has arrived!"

Ye Lingling was secretly relieved. She hadn't neglected her pharmacological research during this time and had gained some insights into the field of detoxification.

Staring at Han Tao's face, he raised his voice leisurely: "The Vast Ocean Universe Cover... how did you convince Xue Qinghe to accept this thing as payment?"

"I don't know." Han Tao shook his head: "I just used the Distraction Control Technique to advance my level and made a deal with the Spirit Hall."

"This was their doing, but I don't know the specifics of how it was done."

Ye Lingling looked at him suspiciously.

I had a feeling that Han Tao was hiding some secrets, but there was no need to pursue it at the moment.

at the same time,

The healing order from the Heavenly Dou Empire also reached a remote mountain village, within the ears of the Haotian Sect.

Although the Haotian Sect is secluded, it is not so ignorant as to be deaf and blind. They still have resources to understand the mainstream information and power dynamics on the Douluo Continent.

"Is Emperor Xueye about to die?"

"The Heavenly Dou Empire has issued a bounty for treatment?"

Yu Xiaogang froze, suddenly recalling the scene of being picked up and tortured by Poison Douluo, and his legs trembled with fear.

Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up: "Great!"

"Anyone who dares to covet the secret techniques of my Tang Clan is destined for death, and now it seems that they were right!"

His tone was icy cold, his right hand was clenched so tightly his fingers turned white, and his eyes were blazing with fury.

"Tang San!" Just then, Tang Hao pushed open the door and walked in.

Upon seeing his father arrive, Tang San quickly put away the peacock feather in his hand and asked calmly, "How is it?"

Tang Hao laughed arrogantly: "With my help, everything will be a piece of cake."

"I reckon that brat Ning Fengzhi wouldn't dare to refuse my request. Here!" Tang Hao tossed out a secret manual.

The book is titled "Distraction Control Method" in large characters. This is the revised hardcover version by Han Tao, with the "Advanced - Cluster Convergence" section at the end removed.

"Master, please take a look and see if there are any problems."

He smiled happily, and now he didn't find Yu Xiaogang so repulsive.

Yu Xiaogang opened the manual and carefully examined its contents: "Hmm," he said, "a rather profound secret technique, but it's still slightly inferior to my theories."

Although it doesn't understand most of the content, it can always find a reasonable way to solve problems and won't let others question its level.

First comes flattery, then comparison, in order to highlight the profundity of one's own theory.

Yu Xiaogang was well-versed in this art.

"The first step: Split the soul!"

"This step is extremely dangerous; even the slightest oversight in the method could lead to utter ruin."

The book states that this goal can be achieved by using the soul vibration of the soul ring, or by using a small number of soul skills that vibrate the soul.

But how can following the established procedures demonstrate my mastery of theory?

So, the master said to Tang San earnestly, "Little San."

"You have a unique advantage in cultivating this secret technique!"

Tang Hao looked suspicious; he had a vague sense of foreboding.

Tang San looked puzzled: "What advantage?"

The Great Soul Master arrogantly raised his head, his spirits soaring: "Splitting a soul requires the soul vibration of a soul ring, but you don't need that."

"Because the soul of a soul beast is already hidden in your head's soul bone, you only need to create a slight opening, and you can use its soul impact to complete the enlightenment of this secret technique."

A glint of light flickered in Tang San's eyes.

"A blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise!"

"Unexpectedly, its presence has actually helped you make progress!"

The master's tone was quite confident, and Tang San seemed to be infected by this confidence, his eyes gradually turning fervent: "Master."

Tang Hao was immediately annoyed and couldn't help but ask, "But how do you sell a flaw?"

"What kind of weakness should I exploit to attract its soul-searching attack, without threatening San'er's life?"

The master's expression froze, his eyes darting around like wheels, as various inspirations flowed through his mind.

"Simple!"

"As long as Tang San stays up all night, his mental fatigue will naturally cause him to reveal his weaknesses. And as long as you, a Title Douluo, are present, he won't be able to cause any trouble!"

The master spoke with great self-satisfaction.

If things proceed as planned, even if problems arise later, the blame can be placed on Tang Hao for failing to protect the Dharma.

It's not because my theory is wrong; I, Yu Xiaogang, am not one to stick to the pan.

Tang Hao looked somewhat hesitant.
"Father!" Tang San said affectionately.

In Tang San's eyes, no enemy could rival his father, and no difficulty could hinder the master's theories. With the help of the two giants, he was certain to become a top powerhouse on the Douluo Continent.

Perhaps seeing the expectant look in his son's eyes, Tang Hao finally gave in, and perhaps deep down he believed Yu Xiaogang's words.

"Fine!" he sighed.

"Tang San, I will now teach you the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian!"

Nothing is more mentally taxing than studying. He had originally planned to have someone from his sect teach Tang San the secret techniques of the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian.

However, given the current situation, it's best to avoid these setbacks: "You'll be unable to rest for a long time to come."

Tang Hao summoned his Haotian Hammer and began to teach the first move of the Haotian Nine Absolutes, the "Void Technique".

"Inclusiveness and harmony resonate like an echo in an empty valley!"

At that moment, the soul within the human-faced spider's skull trembled slightly: "No, it's not..."

"I am merely residing within the soul bone; I am not asleep, much less dead."

"You're underestimating me by revealing your plan in public like this."

Yes, Yu Xiaogang has never paid attention to details.

When they devised a plan with Tang Hao, they didn't even use advanced secret techniques like soundproofing, let alone paper or writing. So how could they keep it secret?

As for Tang Hao, with his stubborn nature, he naturally wouldn't notice these details.
