Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 269 Military Formation
A thousand meters above, there are magnificent, undulating clouds, and a figure stands atop those clouds.

The enormous Haotian Hammer, like a meteorite falling from the sky, slowly descended towards the Tiandou Palace.

"What."

Qian Renxue sensed this vast aura, looked up, and suddenly saw Ling Jue's gray shadow in the sky.

Judging from the red markings on the hammerhead, she already knew the attacker's identity.

"Tang Hao?"

"Damn it! How did he get here?"

Qian Renxue's tone was filled with extreme anger.

In her worldview, Tang Hao was the enemy who killed her father, and the hatred for the murder of one's father was irreconcilable.

"His Royal Highness!"

"His Royal Highness!"

A cacophony of noises erupted.

The sound came from the guards inside the imperial city. They were closest to Xue Qinghe. When they saw the Haotian Hammer in the sky, some soldiers chose to flee, while others froze, unable to move.

But more guards surrounded the Xueqing River, their eyes gleaming as they raised their bows and arrows.

The Imperial Guard consists of only a small number of Soul Masters; the vast majority are ordinary people without Soul Power.

Aiming at Tang Hao in the sky.

"Ridiculous!" Tang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If this were in the open field, an army of tens of thousands, arrayed in formation, might pose a threat to me."

"And you are truly laughable!"

A crimson killing intent surged from his body, resembling a kind of illusory light and shadow, enveloping the numerous soldiers present.

Under the domain of the God of Slaughter, enveloped in killing intent, many soldiers felt their arms go weak and powerless. The large bows that they could usually lift easily suddenly became incredibly heavy.

"First Soul Skill, Arrow of Ruijin!"

The robust Soul Master drew his large bow and aimed his Soul Skill at the figure in the sky.

The arrow was extremely sharp, clearly crafted by a master artisan, and carried a sharp edge that could pierce through anything as it was launched into the sky.

The soul skill enhanced the upward momentum of the arrow, allowing it to penetrate 500 meters of space, already at its utmost.

The arrows still struck the Haotian Hammer, which was as solid as Mount Tai, without having any effect whatsoever, which frustrated him.

"It's no use!" Tang Hao said calmly.

He didn't take the guards leader seriously at all, completely ignored the arrows, and carried out his Haotian Hammer strike.

The Haotian Hammer's strongest attack is from top to bottom.

This is because it allows one's attacks to be enhanced by gravity, especially certain soul skills that increase gravity, which can further amplify the oppressive force of the Clear Sky Hammer.

When the Clear Sky Hammer falls, it will engulf the surrounding space and aura, transforming all power into the oppressive force of the Martial Soul.

Leave the enemy nowhere to hide and nowhere to avoid!

Qian Renxue lowered her eyes: "It seems..."

"There is no other way but to take this Heavenly Hammer head-on."

It will take time for the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine Douluo to arrive, and it will also take time for the Heavenly Dou Palace's defensive array to activate.

Haotian Douluo's attack was too sudden and he had the upper hand. If he were really Xue Qinghe, he might not have been able to resist.

but
"As long as I can block this attack, the situation will be reversed."

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul grants absolute air superiority.

When Qian Renxue is above Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Hammer will be unable to use gravity to enhance the offensive and oppressive nature of the martial soul.

The energy of the head bone surged, and in the fleeting moments of its form, the angelic sword rose from the ground.

"This is."

Tang Hao vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire should possess the Swan Martial Soul, but your aura reminds me of an old friend."

Tang Hao's expression showed a hint of doubt, but the huge Clear Sky Hammer did not stop in response to the question, but instead slowly fell with unparalleled momentum.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Divine Sword!" Flames imbued with divine power emanate from the angelic sword.

A terrifying power that purifies everything and burns its very essence is attached to the edge of the angel's sword.

If Han Tao were here, he would definitely observe carefully how a weapon spirit acquires this characteristic, what the principle is, and whether it can be replicated.
Are you really Xue Qinghe?

Tang Hao's interrogation followed.

The same angelic longsword, the same fifth soul skill—this greatly surprised him.

However, the aura of justice and holiness emanating from Xue Qinghe's Angel Sword was far stronger than that of Qian Xunji.

"Uphold justice!"

This is the second essence of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

The blazing flames and pure purification dissolved the numerous crimson wisps that clung to the sky.

The intact Killing God Domain was pierced by the purifying power exerted by Qian Renxue, and the weakening effect on the guards around Qian Renxue was removed.

"Now, deploy your troops!" Xue Qinghe commanded.

The Imperial Guards are the most elite troops in the Imperial City, steadfastly carrying out His Highness the Crown Prince's will, and forming military formations of four men each.

The four soldiers, holding the powerful bow horizontally, worked together to draw it open.

(With training, the average person's physical limits are 20 and their strength is 200 kilograms.)

If Han Tao were here, he would naturally recognize that this bow is the same elite longbow he used at level 30.

With 50 points of physique, one can barely break through; with 100 points of physique, one can control the opponent with ease, posing a fatal threat to a Soul Master, and also harm a Soul King.

"Ridiculous, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" Tang Hao said with disdain.

It is truly remarkable that it can harm a Soul King.

But he was a Title Douluo, and so-called mortal weapons posed no threat to him.

Haotian Douluo remained as arrogant as ever, completely ignoring these ridiculous crossbows.

Within the army formation, a man dressed in white robes began to dance, resembling an ancient superstitious ritual.

As the dance progressed, the soul skills were instantly linked together.

"Second Soul Skill, Calibration!"

"Third Soul Skill, Wind Prayer!"

Similar to the strategic soul skill "Snow Dance," it unleashed its power within the military formation.

"Oh?"

At this time, Han Tao had already moved far away from the battlefield.

However, the photo stone that Han Tao had secretly placed in a corner of the palace was radiating a brilliant light.

"Even with four people working together, the elite longbow, when drawn, lacks stability and accuracy."

"With the application of these two soul skills, accompanied by the power of wind, the position of the arrow was further calibrated."

Using elite longbows as weapons, four people working together as a team, and through strategic soul skill calibration, these three methods were combined in a systematic way, enabling four ordinary people with soul master-level physiques to unleash attacks at the level of soul kings.

"Truly a genius."

"We must never underestimate the people of the world!" Han Tao remarked.

Indeed, the current individual formations of the military can only launch attacks at the level of Soul Kings, posing no threat to Title Douluos.

But if
The arrowheads are made of the same material as the dragon whisker arrows and are infused with the deadly poison of Azure Phosphorus. It is likely that even Soul Emperors and Soul Saints would not be able to withstand them.

"Um"

Physical modification and bloodline implantation can break through the physical limits of ordinary people.

Using more powerful crossbows, combined with the Dragon Beard Needle material and Azure Phosphorus Toxin, the military formation system was further optimized, making it difficult even for a Title Douluo to resist.

"This is the upper limit of the military formation."

"But this has nothing to do with me!"

Han Tao smiled calmly and shook his head.

Ye Lingling's research on bloodline theory is essentially for her own benefit. I'm not the emperor, so I don't need to worry about the development of military formations.
