Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 440 A Warm-up for the Soul Master Competition: Tang Hao's Trap-in-a-Turt Method

An enemy that you can't necessarily kill.

The thought of this made Qian Daoliu extremely uneasy.

Wang Dong'er didn't have a good solution to this either.

If it were just an ordinary Tang San, she could easily have the Spirit Hall take action directly.

Once Qian Renxue becomes a god, she can sever the Asura inheritance of the City of Slaughter, the Sea God inheritance of Seagod Island, and the useless Tang San.

But when it comes to the power of God, it's a different story.

Wang Dong'er couldn't be sure whether that power came from Tang San himself, or whether Poseidon, the Sea God, really had some kind of backup plan for him.

Regardless of the circumstances, based on Dugu Bo's statement, it's not hard to deduce that Tang San intended to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

There is never a thousand days of being a thief, but a thousand days of guarding against thieves.

If Tang San tries every means to get to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he will always be able to seize the opportunity.

However, even if he could break through all the barriers and enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he wouldn't get anything out of it.

On the contrary, the extreme aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye would cause Tang San, who was not strong enough and did not have the protection of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, to suffer a great loss.

Even if it doesn't kill him, it will still deplete a significant portion of the power he possesses.

Wang Dong'er didn't believe that Tang San really possessed the god-level power that she could unleash.

Otherwise, Tang San would have come out and started shouting from the very beginning.

The Spirit Hall of today is very different from what it used to be.

At Wang Dong'er's suggestion, Qian Daoliu bypassed Bibi Dong and directly carried out a thorough purge of the Spirit Hall.

Although Bibi Dong looked unwell, Qian Daoliu's reasons were sufficient and perfectly legitimate, and since it was something Wang Dong'er had personally experienced, she couldn't stop him.

Besides, she wouldn't stop it.

Putting aside her illness, Bibi Dong was indeed working diligently to improve the Spirit Hall.

Although Qian Daoliu's exercise of power over her was somewhat embarrassing for her, it was still a good thing for the Spirit Hall under her control.

After all, the Elders' Hall doesn't really manage the affairs of the Spirit Hall, and they have no soldiers at their disposal.

No matter how much they purged the Spirit Hall, they were still soldiers under Bibi Dong's rule.

Of course, there is another important reason, which is that Bibi Dong also despises people like Miles because of her own experiences.

The actions of the Spirit Hall were noticed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire.

After receiving the news, Ning Fengzhi could only sigh to himself that the Spirit Hall was now even more difficult to deal with.

After Ning Rongrong returned from Gengxin City with Wang Dong'er, she also questioned his previous claim about the threat posed by the Spirit Hall.

However, Ning Fengzhi couldn't tell Ning Rongrong that the truth was that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was unwilling to be subordinate to others, and that the Spirit Hall's benevolent practices were no different from those of the Empire.

Therefore, no matter what, they are ultimately destined to walk down the path of opposition.

Unless the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School submits to the Spirit Hall, or can unite with other forces to continue its long-term rivalry and confrontation with the Spirit Hall.

These are the only two options left.

As for Tang San, there's not much to say. Tang San has god-level power protecting him, so Tang Hao can't possibly have it too.

But in order to protect Tang San, Tang Hao was also elusive, appearing only to strike once and then running away, with no one knowing when or where he would go.

Currently, the only information the Spirit Hall has is that Tang Hao is suspected of being seriously injured and has not yet recovered, and even a Soul Douluo can exchange blows with him.

In order to keep the Spirit Hall's attention drawn and keep them busy so they can't focus on Tang San, Tang Hao couldn't afford to rest for too long.

In this situation, his injuries are unlikely to fully heal.

There is one perfect opportunity to capture Tang Hao: the Soul Master Tournament.

Will Tang San give up the Soul Master Competition?

Wang Dong'er thought he probably wouldn't.

Last time, even at such close range, Dugu Bo didn't realize Xiao Wu was a soul beast, and there were no people like Flander to shield her. It's likely that Tang San used a special power to shield Xiao Wu from it.

In this situation, Tang San doesn't need to worry about Xiao Wu being exposed as a 100,000-year-old soul beast because she dropped the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red during the finals.

If Shrek Academy can break through to the finals of the Soul Master Competition, then Tang Hao will definitely follow suit.

If a trap is set up at that time, Tang Hao will have no chance of escaping, even if he had wings.

……

Time passed slowly, and the advanced soul master academies across the continent began to warm up.

At the request of the Spirit Hall, the final competition venue for this year's tournament was set in Spirit City from the very beginning.

However, no notification has been sent to the participating college teams yet.

After all, where the finals are held is not important to these teams, as long as the two great powers know.

The rules of the competition were announced well in advance.

First, each participating team must have members under the age of 25, and there must be at least seven participants.

On the field, one should try to avoid injuring or even killing the opponent.

Besides these, there are some more formulaic rules, such as not being able to use food or medicine made by non-food and non-healing Soul Masters during the competition.

Only when these two types of Soul Masters create them on the spot during the competition can they replenish the team members during battle.

In other words, if this type of support-type Soul Master doesn't occupy a spot, then this team shouldn't even think about using any underhanded tactics like food or medicine.

This also prevents teams with food-type or healing-type Soul Masters from cheating.

Another rule is that no weapon other than a martial spirit is allowed.

The competition format mainly involves dividing the competition into several regions for preliminary rounds.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City serves as a preliminary division, where all academy teams from within the Heaven Dou Empire will compete.

The four kingdoms and another duchy that were subordinate to the Heaven Dou Empire also held preliminary rounds in their respective capitals.

Together with the two empires and the remaining kingdoms and duchies, there are a total of twelve preliminary divisions.

The Heaven Dou Empire's Heaven Dou City division and the Star Luo Empire's Star Luo City division each have five qualifying spots.

The remaining kingdoms and duchies each have two qualifying spots.

There are a total of thirty spots that will be available for the finals.

However, in addition to the thirty teams that entered the finals through the preliminary rounds, there are three other teams that do not need to participate in the preliminary rounds.

These are the seeded teams from the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall, respectively.

However, before officially entering the finals, the Tiandou and Xingluo regions each have a qualifying match, which is a ranking match for the thirty teams that have emerged from the preliminaries.

The ranking order in the ranking tournament will determine the order in which these teams will appear in the finals.

The preliminary rounds will be team battles, while the qualifying rounds will be one-on-one battles until one side is completely defeated.

PS:

The update will be during the day on the 28th, so you don't need to wait until midnight. The progress of this "if" storyline will continue to accelerate.

After that, I'll mainly be thinking about how to write the new book. I can give you a heads-up here: I'm considering themes for both main characters, but the Snow Emperor theme involves more issues and is more complex, making it a bit more difficult to handle.
