Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Without Tang San, the Heaven Dou and Star Luo factions began their first battle.

Although the atmosphere of battle was tense, fortunately it did not escalate, and the number of casualties was kept within an acceptable range.

Inside a rather inconspicuous tent, a general appeared quite anxious.

He slammed his fist on the table, his voice filled with dissatisfaction: "Why didn't Your Majesty send out a surprise attack beforehand? Allowing the Star Luo Empire to prepare in advance was not a wise move!"

His brows were furrowed, his heart filled with doubt, as if he were watching the enemy preparing a grand feast, yet he was powerless to stop it.

He thought to himself, why not launch a sneak attack when the Star Luo Empire is completely unprepared, instead of waiting for them to react and be fully prepared before striking?
As a result, the losses of the empire's nobles and soldiers will be unimaginable!
If we can launch a surprise attack first and summon the nobles at the same time, we can seize the initiative on the battlefield and give the enemy a surprise.

The general sitting opposite him smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by the young general's excited reaction. "His Majesty is still young, and to have achieved this much is already quite remarkable." He then picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and his eyes gleamed with wisdom. "Besides, both of us were promoted by His Majesty; would we dare question him?"

"Hmm, he must have some deeper meaning behind doing this!" The other general, though dissatisfied, understood somewhat. Those who could become generals were certainly not fools. While they might not be experts on the course of war, they were certainly not clueless novicees.

"I...I'm doing this for the sake of the empire, aren't I?" the general muttered to himself. While deeply grateful for His Majesty's promotion, he also felt his talents were being buried and unused, a growing sense of loneliness and bitterness washing over him. His voice carried a hint of helplessness. "If fewer soldiers can be sacrificed, then fewer will be sacrificed. What's wrong with that?"

He sighed helplessly, a hint of dejection on his face. Only someone truly concerned for the empire could understand such emotions; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked being executed to bravely voice his dissent against Xue Qinghe's orders.

Upon hearing this, the general opposite him suddenly stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought. A flash of inspiration struck him, followed by a chilling premonition. He instinctively looked around, straining his senses to try and discern the unfolding situation.

After a long pause, he looked around, seemingly finding nothing amiss, before speaking slightly: "Do you think His Majesty is trying to lessen the burden on the empire?"

These words immediately drew the attention of the generals present. Those who could sit in the position of general were not fools. Upon hearing this, the general who had been criticizing Xue Qinghe couldn't help but shrink his pupils, as if a chill had suddenly risen from the soles of his feet.

"This...this..." he stammered, as if something was stuck in his throat, and fell into deep thought.

"Only we know this, and we absolutely cannot let a third person hear it!" he warned in a low voice, as faint as a mosquito's buzz, yet tinged with urgency.

“Otherwise, even if His Majesty doesn’t take action, those nobles will definitely not let it go…” He shuddered inwardly, his words filled with helplessness and indignation.

After all, the empire's resources are limited, and the resources allocated to nobles and hereditary nobles account for half of the empire's total resources. If they don't go, even if they win the battle, they won't get any extra resources. "So, we have to kill those nobles!" The two exchanged a knowing smile.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, various factions harbored their own ulterior motives, while the Star Luo Empire worked together as one. Even though the Heaven Dou Empire was somewhat lacking in resources, it still couldn't gain any advantage.

At this moment, Tang San had already entered the Star Dou Great Forest, plotting his plan to acquire the last few spirit rings. Next, he would have to prepare for the mysterious and difficult Seven Emotions Trial. Although the Asura God had been "dismissed," his previous preparations were not in vain; the Asura Sword was one of his ingenious techniques, and Tang San, well aware of its importance, dared not underestimate it.

To him, the Blue Silver Emperor's spirit was still somewhat "gentle," lacking in offensive power; he even felt it was merely a transitional spirit. While the number of spirit rings was less than satisfactory, it was still barely usable.

A few days later, deep in a dark and gloomy forest, Tang San slowly sat up, a hint of disappointment flashing through his mind: "Only a little over level 95." He couldn't help but frown, seemingly dissatisfied with his progress.

With a thought, the nine soul rings beneath his feet—yellow, purple, black, and red—instantly coalesced, then vanished into thin air like smoke. Several more days passed. "A nearly 60,000-year-old Earth Demon Spider King, not bad," he muttered to himself, a satisfied smile on his face.

Tang San slightly raised his right hand and softly roared, "Entangle!" Instantly, countless vines shot out like small snakes, binding the enormous Cave Demon Spider King tightly in an instant, making it look like a bound rice dumpling. Then, like an agile leopard, he leaped up and landed steadily on the Cave Demon Spider King's back, his eight spider spears piercing the target like sharp arrows.

Not long after, the Cave Demon Spider King stopped struggling, and a jet-black spirit ring floated out. Tang San did not hesitate at all, immediately sat down cross-legged, summoned the Wu Tian Hammer spirit, and began to absorb the spirit ring.

Several hours later, he slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly. "Level 92... Now I possess multiple high-age soul bones, and the strength of my physical body is unmatched by ordinary soul masters. My eight extraordinary meridians have also been opened, and the soul power capacity within my body far exceeds that of ordinary people. However, this means that the soul power reserves required to advance one level have become even more enormous. I didn't expect that this nearly 1-year-old Earth Demon Spider King would only allow me to advance a little over half a level."

"Let's move on to the next one." He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed in another direction, as if planning his next move.

"A 65000-year-old king of the earth, that's quite something," he said softly, continuing forward.

"A 70000-year-old Vajra Tiger, not bad... A 70000-year-old Scaled Beast, not bad either." Tang San's mood gradually improved.

“Level 95, perhaps it’s time to go find Da Ming and Er Ming. After all, the seventh spirit ring will involve my Martial Soul True Body…” He glanced at the six spirit rings surrounding his feet, a sinister light flashing in his eyes, and turned around without hesitation, rushing towards the core area.

He has no intention of resurrecting Xiao Wu now. If she finds out that he has designs on Da Ming and Er Ming, his pure and innocent image in Xiao Wu's eyes will be completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu's soul was in a dormant state; otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain. (End of Chapter)
