Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 993 Hu Liena Doesn't Want to Participate in the Mainland Elite Competition
There is no time to practice.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Notting Academy holds an annual competition to challenge both the main and auxiliary teams, but fortunately, the Qingzhu Zhu and Dai Mubai teams have remained undefeated.

As the date of the Mainland Elite Tournament approaches, major powers and advanced academies across the continent are also starting to stir.

Wuhun Temple.

Hu Liena's soul power has reached level 63. Since the first four soul rings were refined twice during the Red Gathering, the current color ratio of the soul rings is purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black.

Among them, the first four spirit rings were all upgraded to the thousand-year level, and each of them had pink patterns.

The last two spirit rings were pure black because they had not undergone secondary refinement.

"Teacher, I don't want to participate in the Mainland Elite Competition."

"why?"

Bibi Dong looked at her disciple kneeling at the bottom of the steps, quite puzzled.

"I want to reform Wuhun City..."

For the past two years, Bibi Dong has delegated authority to Hu Liena, and she has lived up to expectations. Based on what she learned at the Red Society and combined with the current situation of all the Soul Masters in Wuhun City, she has initially formulated a corresponding plan.

Soul Masters possess physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, coupled with their reverence for the Spirit Hall and exceptional execution capabilities.

But the infrastructure of Wuhun City is really too poor!

Previously, Hu Liena had not noticed anything, but after studying at the Red Society for a period of time, she discovered that the problems in Wuhun City were significant.

Although the city is a trading hub, and could even be considered a commercial center, the local inhabitants of Wuhun City do not engage in production and are almost self-sufficient. The vast majority of the Wuhun Hall's wealth comes from the two great empires.

In the future, if we want to establish a Martial Soul Empire, even if we conquer the territories of the two great empires in a short period of time, it will be difficult to restore stability in a short time, and many troubles will inevitably arise.

They didn't come from Soul Masters, but from ordinary people with low Soul Power.

Spirit Hall —

There is a severe shortage of management talent!

In terms of production, trade, and politics, it is far inferior to the Red Society, let alone the two great empires!
Therefore, Hu Liena felt she had no time to waste on bullying those weaker than herself!
Furthermore, she also knew that the teacher wanted to rightfully bestow the prize—three extremely high-quality ten-thousand-year-old soul bones—onto herself, Xie Yue, and Yan!

As Pope, Bibi Dong naturally possessed this authority, and her prestige within the Spirit Hall was even greater due to the conquest of Seagod Island. However, the elders of the Hall of Offerings still came out to obstruct her...

Therefore, Bibi Dong no longer tolerated those elders who offered sacrifices. She fought against six opponents at once until Qian Daoliu appeared, at which point the fighting stopped. After discussion, they decided to use this year's Continental Elite Tournament as an assessment for the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Hu Liena felt it wasn't very meaningful. Rather than showing off her prowess in the finals and being adored by others, she should focus on working hard for the development of Wuhun City.

Winning the championship is merely a display of strength, intended to instill awe and submission in the soul masters of Wuhun City.

However, since she relies on force to dominate, others have always feared her power but not her virtue. If she were to get into trouble one day, these people would definitely not stand by her side.

The disadvantages of a system where the strong rule are paramount are extremely obvious! It is not advisable.

She, Hu Liena, wants to truly expand her influence in Wuhun City, not just by displaying martial prowess! However, martial prowess is also essential, to ensure her own safety and to deal with petty villains!

“Na’er, I’m glad you have your own ideas, but don’t you want the soul bone?” Bibi Dong was moved by Hu Liena’s struggle for the cause, but also felt helpless because of Hu Liena’s stubbornness.

"Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu do not have soul bones, but their strength is still formidable."

Hu Liena didn't care about soul bones. "With their strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to obtain soul bones, even those at the 100,000-year level, but they didn't do it."

During my time at the Red Cult, I heard that soul bones are considered impurities in the human body and require certain treatment...
The Spirit Hall contains records of soul bone armor transformation...
Therefore, I speculate that hastily absorbing soul bones without being able to complete the armor transformation of one's own six soul bones may hinder cultivation.

Furthermore, metal forging possesses a spirit, and when combined with soul guidance technology, it can create powerful battle armor and soul armor. Tang San and Lou Gao of the Crimson Society have conducted significant research in this area. The soul armor of the strong, such as the Crimson Armor, which is the set possessed by Zhou Qing, can be integrated into the body like a soul bone, and can also complement the flow of soul power in the human body, evolving along with him.

I believe the Spirit Hall should prioritize blacksmithing and soul guidance technology.

Bibi Dong had heard a thing or two about the Soul Armor. After all, Miles, the master of the Martial Soul Hall in Gengxin City, had reported to the Papal Palace that Zhou Qing was flying with hundreds of people!

"Fine, then you don't have to participate." Bibi Dong agreed to Hu Liena's request.

“Teacher, Xie Yue and Yan can still participate. They have both reached level 59 and level 58 respectively.” Hu Liena said this mainly so that she could work with peace of mind.

Xie Yue is her older brother, who takes good care of her, but she is already an adult.

Yan has been his little shadow since he was a child.

Hu Liena was aware of his crush on her and had clearly stated that she didn't like him, but he still said he would protect her.

He keeps asking himself if he's free, inviting her to go shopping in Wuhun City or participate in the Soul Battle... Damn it! Doesn't he know he's busy right now?
This is so annoying!
As Hu Liena's teacher, Bibi Dong was naturally aware that compared to Hu Liena's efforts, Xie Yue and Yan seemed to have nothing to do except cultivate and participate in the Spirit Battle Arena in Wuhun City. This made Hu Liena somewhat dissatisfied, so she smiled and said, "Since Na'er says so, then I, your teacher, will have Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo train them more in the future."

After arranging for the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Bibi Dong went to the training room and entered a state of cultivation.

thump! thump! thump!
As the sound of his heartbeat echoed in the cultivation room, dark purple patterns, like spider webs, spread all over his body, eventually converging at his chest.

Two years ago, she fought against Tang Chen. He was exceptionally talented. Seeing that she had condensed a soul core, he also condensed one during the battle. Moreover, he innovated and built it based on his heart!

This method actually earned Zhou Qing's praise!

Therefore, it can be inferred that Bibi Dong was certain that Zhou Qing and the others also knew the method of condensing the soul core, but they did not take this path, nor did they choose Tang Chen's method. Instead, they adopted a more profound and unpredictable solution.

After all, he once said that the method they had researched was the path to heaven, while his own soul core was a crooked and evil path, and that Tang Chen's method of cultivating with the heart as the core based on the rhythm of her soul core was a heretical and unorthodox path.

Over the past two years, Bibi Dong has also been studying the flow path of soul power in the human body, and has roughly deduced the differences between these three paths.

They can both be considered soul cores in essence, but they have vastly different effects!
Like her, using the martial soul attributes of death and space, as well as the power of the Rakshasa God, combined with soul power, to condense a soul core in the upper, middle, and lower dantian, is the lowest level.

Like Tang Chen, building a soul core based on the heart is considered intermediate, and can stimulate the potential of the physical body.

And what Zhou Qing and his group called the "path to heaven"—

It's likely that the entire human body serves as the "soul core"!
