Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 174 Giant Wilderness Team
Yang Wudi needed to stay in the palace for a long time to detoxify Emperor Tiandou, so the royal family granted special privileges and care to the Po clan.

"I thought I would need to rely on the ultimate attribute to unleash the true power of the poison pill in order to have a chance to kill Thornblood, but I underestimated the power of the poison pill."

Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi arrived at a side hall of the palace, and were momentarily astonished that they had been able to kill a Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall.

"Having absorbed two great immortal herbs and refined them with the help of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, your poison skills are extraordinary and you may not need to rely on ultimate attributes."

Dugu Bo simply nodded; he had already gained some insights while activating his poison technique.

Because of Xue Qinghe's matter, the attention of many forces is now focused on the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

If a major problem were to occur in the Heaven Dou royal family, it would have a significant impact on the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

With the intervention of the Heavenly Emperor, this influence was gradually suppressed.

However, many forces are still trying to find out what is happening in the royal family.

Xue Qinghe is the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and his status is extremely high. Given this situation, it is impossible to hide it now.

What the Tian Dou royal family needs to do now is to delay as much as possible, and announce the matter after the influence has diminished.

What needs to be done now is to enhance the status and influence of the fourth prince, so that he can no longer be the spoiled brat he once was.

Tie Li learned about the changes that had occurred within the royal family from Dugu Bo, and was quite shocked that Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi had killed the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo.

But upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.

Having absorbed the immortal herbs, their strength far surpassed that of their original timeline, making them far more powerful than ordinary Title Douluos.

Dugu Bo brought Tie Li back to the Tian Dou Royal Academy. However, at this moment, only one of the three teaching committee members remained at the academy to guard it, while the other two needed to help the royal family deal with troublesome matters.

Tie Li wasn't very interested in what was happening inside the palace; as a Soul King, he couldn't offer much help.

The day after I returned to the academy, I received a call to join the team.

Zhao Tianhe selected a team as their opponent for the second team, and Tie Li needed to relearn how to cooperate with his teammates.

With little time left until the Soul Master Tournament, Tie Li has rejoined the team and needs time to gel with them.

Although there was a foundation of cooperation before, after such a long period of time, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of unfamiliarity.

The second team has a dedicated meeting room where Zhao Tianhe and the main members of the second team discussed tactics. The team they were going to face was a veteran team from the Great Soul Arena.

This team battle is a challenge, not an automatic match, because Tie Li is a five-ring Soul King. According to the matchmaking mechanism of the Great Soul Arena, the team is matched based on the person with the highest Soul Power level.

You might be matched with a team composed entirely of Soul Kings, or a team that mixes Soul Masters and Soul Kings.

However, neither option is a good choice for the second team. The difference in team fighting spirit is too great, so it is not worthwhile for training.

"The captain of the Giant Wilderness Team is a level 48 Power Attack-type Soul Master whose Martial Soul is the Black-Striped Tiger."
The vice-captain's name is You Lian, a level 45 control-type Soul Master whose Martial Soul is the Ghost Vine; these two are the ones the Juye team needs to be most wary of.

Zhao Tianhe analyzed the Juye team's situation for everyone. This was a team composed entirely of Soul Masters, and their strength should not be underestimated. Tie Li took the Juye team's information and carefully reviewed it.

Inside the meeting room, in addition to the official members of the second team, there were two substitute players.

"Are they a team with dual control of the battlefield?"

Tie Li saw another control-type Soul Master in the data, a familiar name.

Yan Xi, a level 41 Control-type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Ghost Shadow Mirror.

“The other control-type Soul Master’s Soul Skills are more focused on support and control; he’s not a pure control-type Soul Master,” Zhao Tianhe explained.

In the team battle records of the Juye team, this control-type Soul Master's performance was not outstanding. She mainly interfered with the opponents and created opportunities for her teammates, which made people subconsciously overlook her role.

However, Tie Li once joined the Rock Team in the Great Soul Arena and faced a team of Great Soul Masters called the Giant Fang Team, one of whom was a control-type Soul Master.

Her second soul skill is quite remarkable; it allows her to copy a soul master's shadow form, giving her fifty percent of the original's combat power.

The second soul skill is so powerful that either the martial soul is of extremely high quality or the soul ring absorbed comes from a soul beast with a top-tier bloodline.

Or perhaps the soul beast she absorbed had a soul bone, and the soul ring and soul bone came from the same soul beast. Both were absorbed by the same soul master, so the amplification to the soul master could be greater than the sum of its parts.

Her second spirit ring is a hundred-year spirit ring, which means that the spirit beasts she hunts are hundred-year spirit beasts. The probability of a hundred-year spirit beast giving birth to a spirit bone is extremely low, but it is not impossible. The amplification of a hundred-year spirit bone to a spirit master is extremely limited. If other spirit masters absorb this spirit bone, they may only get the amplification of attributes and a useless spirit skill.

However, if Yan Xi absorbs this soul bone, the soul ring and soul bone of the same origin will be enhanced together, which is why her second soul skill is different, and her soul bone skill must be extraordinary.

Tie Li had guessed about her situation a long time ago.

This document doesn't mention Yan Xi's second soul skill, perhaps because they were worried that revealing it would attract unwanted attention and deliberately conceal it.

"Their team's configuration is almost perfect. Among all the teams in the Soul Sect, there are very few as well-rounded as them," Zhao Tianhe said.

With one strong attacker, one agile attacker, and one support, providing double crowd control and double defense protection, this is considered an excellent Soul Master team in the Grand Soul Arena.

The higher the team's Soul Power level, the more difficult it is to achieve a perfect configuration; conversely, the lower the team's Soul Master configuration is more likely to be perfect.

In order to ensure that the team's overall soul power level is not inferior to other teams, most teams have a very heavy bias in their soul master configuration, such as four strong attackers, one support and two defenders, or five agile attackers and two crowd control.

In this battle against the Giant Wilderness team, apart from Tie Li having an advantage in soul power level, everyone else was at a disadvantage.

Gu Qi's soul power level reached level 42. He was able to break through to level 43 before the Soul Master Competition. His previous encounter at the New Moon Sect had caused him considerable injuries, and the healing process wasted a lot of time. Otherwise, he could have broken through to level 43 a few months earlier.
Ning Ning successfully broke through level 40 and obtained her fourth soul ring a month ago.

Among the other four, Tuoyu has the highest soul power level, at level 37, while Mu Wei and the others are only at level 35.

Both substitute players have a soul power level of 35 and are both strong attack type soul masters, so they are considered substitutes for Tie Li.

Zhao Tianhe began to devise a plan, mainly targeting the opponent's main control-type Soul Master, who had previously performed exceptionally well in team battles.
