Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 171 Shocking Change
"I encountered quite a few strange things this year," Tie Li said, recounting what he had seen and heard throughout the year.

The two strolled along the cobblestone path in the park, without any physical contact, the atmosphere filled with a hint of ambiguity and the joy of reunion.

Zhu Zhuqing would occasionally talk about some of her experiences, saying that the companions she made at Shrek Academy were all very good.

Whether it's Tang San and Xiao Wu, or Oscar and Ning Rongrong, they can all be considered companions.

Sometimes the two sit together on a bench in silence for a long time, and the atmosphere is not awkward at all, but rather natural.

Tie Li escorted her back to the college gate until evening.

Watching the figure slowly disappear from his sight, Tie Li prepared to return to the academy.

"Kid, there are some things you shouldn't get involved in." A rough voice came from the side.

Zhao Wuji emerged from the corner, his voice carrying a warning tone.

"The Wind and Thunder Sect has been destroyed. You are now just an ordinary Soul Master."

Tie Li merely gave a cold smile, showing no fear whatsoever in his eyes.

Zhao Wuji was trying to use the Star Luo Empire's royal family to threaten Tie Li and make him back down. The destruction of the Wind and Thunder Sect was something that even a second-rate force would avoid, let alone the imperial family.

But to Zhao Wuji's surprise, Tie Li did not back down in the face of his threats.

"If one day I become a Title Douluo, who will dare to say that my sect has been destroyed?"

Wherever I stand, that is where my sect resides!

"You're just a Soul King, yet you dare to say you'll become a Title Douluo in the future? Aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"

Even for me, killing you now would just be a waste of time and effort.

Tie Li was not surprised by Zhao Wuji's threat, but he was not afraid.

Constantly giving in will only make you seem like a complete loser.

He is a Soul Saint, but he is only a Soul Saint. If he has to compromise when faced with the threat of a Soul Saint, then what future is there to talk about?
Possessing a top-tier weapon spirit, a spirit ring configuration that surpasses the norm, mastering the Thunder Dragon Six Sounds, and possessing two ten-thousand-year spirit bones and an external spirit bone, even if one is not his opponent, he is confident that he can leave safely from his hands.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black hammers appeared in Tie Li's hands, his resolute gaze showing no intention of backing down.

"In that case, let me test your methods."

Two yellow, two purple, and three black spirits entered the spirit possession state, and a pair of huge bear claws grabbed at Tie Li. This huge difference in spirit power gave Zhao Wuji confidence to teach Tie Li a lesson.

As a disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sect, Tie Li was targeted by many forces who wanted to take his life. Similarly, there were also Soul Master forces who kept their promise to the Wind and Thunder Sect.

Zhao Wuji dared not kill Tie Li, because he knew that if this only disciple of the Fenglei Sect died at his hands, the consequences would be beyond his capacity to bear.

With the first and third spirit rings lit up, and under the two amplifying spirit skills, he swung the Tremor Dragon Hammer to meet Zhao Wuji's bear claws.

"Clang!"

The earth-yellow soul power formed a protective barrier to resist the erosion of the black lightning. The collision between the hammer and the bear claw was a clash of power.

"boom"

With the Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul, Zhao Wuji possesses exceptional strength and defense.

Zhao Wuji took three steps back, but Tie Li was sent flying backward. The moment he landed, he immediately stopped his backward movement and used his legs to generate power to launch himself up again.

The Dragon Hammer struck again, and Zhao Wuji's bear claws appeared slightly unnatural as his first and second spirit rings lit up.

First Soul Skill: Immovable King Body!

Second Soul Skill: Mighty Vajra Palm!

"I never expected that the mighty Fudo Myoo would also like to bully the weak. In that case, I shall play with you."

Dugu Bo's figure appeared in front of Zhao Wuji like a ghost, the pressure of a titled Douluo enveloped him, and the intimidating aura made him pause.

"call"

A ghostly green poisonous gas coiled around Dugu Bo's left palm, gently landing on Zhao Wuji. The strike, seemingly without any power, caused Zhao Wuji's expression to change drastically. A turquoise color had already appeared on his chest; the poison had begun to corrode his heart meridian.

"you……"

Zhao Wuji's eyes snapped open in anger, and his heavy body fell straight backward.

"Senior, he's dead?"

"It's not that bad, it'll just make him suffer a little more."

Dugu Bo's gaze toward Tie Li was different now.

"I thought you would keep avoiding the situation until you had enough power to protect yourself, and then gradually show your talent."

"Constantly giving way will cause me to lose more things. There are some things that I cannot lose, and I will fight for them back."

"I dare ask you a question, senior: if my sect still exists, would Zhao Wuji dare to enter and provoke me?"

"Oh?"

Dugu Bo gave Tie Li a meaningful look and suddenly realized that he was somewhat to his liking.

……

Dugu Bo led Tie Li along a deserted street in Tiandou City. (The sentence fragment "情" appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate, incomplete thought.)

He had just come from the palace, where he discovered a major secret within the royal family.

"Xue Qinghe might be a fake." Dugu Bo suddenly dropped a bombshell.

This surprised Tie Li, but not because Xue Qinghe was an imposter. From the beginning, he knew that Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue.

But how did Dugu Bo discover it?
"I need to go to the Broken Clan this time and ask Clan Chief Yang for help."

With Yang Wudi's help, Dugu Bo's mastery of poison suddenly advanced rapidly. In addition, his frequent visits to the palace indirectly led him to discover something amiss, which he then informed Prince Xuexing.

Under Prince Xuexing's secret investigation, new discoveries were soon made.

This incident could lead to a change in the royal family's relationship, and to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he needs to seek Yang Wudi's help.

As for the Heavenly Emperor, Prince Xuexing needs to provide an explanation.

"Surprising, isn't it?"

"What kind of force dares to target the royal family?" Tie Li asked, feigning ignorance.

However, both Dugu Bo and Prince Xuexing were wrong on this point.

Ning Fengzhi is Xue Qinghe's teacher, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had recently experienced such an incident, which made the two of them subconsciously suspect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, to find out the truth, a test is needed, but this test is very important and may threaten the safety of the Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, Dugu Bo dared not be careless and had to go and destroy the clan, so he called Yang Wudi along.

"I can't say for sure right now, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the most suspicious."

Tie Li originally wanted to remind the Spirit Hall, but saying it in his own capacity would be suspected of deliberately framing them.

Dugu Bo brought Tie Li to the Po Clan's residence in Tiandou City. It was a large place that Dugu Bo had specially chosen for them.

"Senior Dugu."

Outside the mansion, members of the Po clan were on night watch. They all knew Dugu Bo and spoke with deep respect.

Dugu Bo helped them evade the Spirit Hall's encirclement and suppression, and also helped them settle in Heaven Dou City, providing them with the protection of the royal family.

Every member of the clan felt grateful to Dugu Bo.
