Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 177 A rising tide lifts all boats
Winning this battle and receiving a large amount of gold soul coins from the Grand Soul Arena, plus splitting three thousand gold soul coins, made for a very good night's income.

Of the three thousand gold soul coins, the six of them only took a small portion, leaving the lion's share to Tie Li.

Seeing that the team members were so polite, Tie Li stopped being polite and pocketed all the gold soul coins.

The two substitute players watching from the waiting area were very excited. After witnessing Tie Li's strength, they could already imagine him making a big splash in the Soul Master Competition.

In the following period, Tieli spent most of his time training with his teammates to improve their teamwork.

However, he doesn't participate in team training every time. Sometimes, the two substitute players will replace Tie Li in team training.

Tie Li is the strongest member of the team, but he is also their trump card.

Both of these substitute players are powerful offensive Soul Masters, and they usually play together to increase the team's offensive options.

With Gu Qi, a Soul Master specializing in agility-based attacks, Zhang Xiaohe will step down and give up her position.

Zhang Xiaohe can only appear when Tie Li is training with the team.

Zhang Xiaohe understands this as well; the team needs to be balanced.

He was simply unwilling to be the team's weak link.

Zhang Xiaohe comes from a high-ranking noble family in the Heaven Dou Empire. He holds a high position in his family. However, as his family senses something unusual, Zhang Xiaohe's status within the family becomes even more special due to his friendship with Xue Beng.

Today, Zhang Xiaohe returned to his family, and his father found him immediately.

"Xiao He, your grandfather is looking for you. It must be something very important. He seems quite anxious."

Zhang Xiaohe's face lit up with joy. Some time ago, he had gone to his grandfather to tell him his request.

Because of her awkward position in the team, Zhang Xiaohe could only change this situation by starting with herself.

How can I acquire a frontal offensive capability that rivals that of a power-attack type Soul Master?

After much thought, Zhang Xiaohe could only come up with two options.

One option is to quickly increase one's soul power level in a short period of time and advance to the fourth-ring Soul Master. This allows one to enhance one's strength through the fourth soul ring. However, with only a few months left, even if one consumes spiritual herbs and medicines every day, it would be difficult to continuously increase five levels within a few months.

The second method is to obtain a soul bone and enhance one's strength through the attributes and soul skills granted by the soul bone. However, the value of a soul bone is too precious, and even if he has a high status in the family, it is impossible for them to spend such a large amount of resources on him.

Zhang Xiaohe had told his grandfather about this, but had not received a definite answer.

Until a change occurred within the royal family, the reputation of the Fourth Prince Xue Beng was cultivated by the royal family, and voices of "Crown Prince Xue Beng" began to emerge among the common people, which made Zhang Xiaohe's family take it seriously.

It's important to know that Xue Beng and Zhang Xiaohe had an extraordinary relationship; when Xue Beng was in an awkward position in the royal family, Zhang Xiaohe stayed by his side, and this bond was irreplaceable by anyone else.

Therefore, as the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Xiaohe's grandfather, he had to reconsider Zhang Xiaohe's position in the family and ultimately decided to buy him a soul bone.

However, spending such a large amount of resources requires the consent of all the senior members of the family. Even if you are the head of the family, you cannot act alone if everyone opposes it.

In the past, they definitely wouldn't have agreed, but things are different now. In the secret family meeting, more than half of the members agreed to the investment.

Zhang Xiaohe arrived at her grandfather's courtyard with great excitement.

"grandfather."

"Haha, you're back. Come and see if this is what you wanted?" There was an exquisite iron box in front of Zhang Baichi's table.

Having guessed the outcome, Zhang Xiaohe took the iron box with trembling hands, slowly opened it, and a surge of soul power appeared. "This is... really a soul bone."

This was the first time Zhang Xiaohe had ever experienced the existence of a soul bone so closely, and the unique soul power fluctuations gave him a sense of déjà vu.

"This soul bone comes from a five-thousand-year-old giant armored bear. It is a left arm soul bone that can grant you soul skills comparable to a power-attack type soul master. The added attributes can make up for your attribute deficiencies."

A five-thousand-year-limited soul bone, and it's from a giant armored bear with outstanding strength and defense. Once Zhang Xiaohe absorbs this soul bone, the attributes and soul skills it grants will make him no less than a power-attack type soul master of the same level.

After absorbing this soul bone, Zhang Xiaohe did not intend to hide its existence; he needed to use it to enhance his position within the team.

After obtaining the soul bone, Zhang Xiaohe did not hesitate for long and began to absorb it on the spot.

……

As the Soul Master Tournament draws near, Heaven Dou City is becoming increasingly lively.

Everything that had happened in the palace seemed to have vanished into thin air, without any trace of it.

However, the reputation of the fourth prince, Xue Beng, is slowly changing under the operation of the royal family.

Sensing something amiss, the various noble families began to notice the unusual situation and took new actions.

"The spiritual medicine that Third Brother refined is really amazing. At this rate of cultivation, he can really reach level 40 before the Soul Master Competition begins."

Ma Hongjun's soul power level has broken through to level 39 and is about to reach level 40.

Walking down the street, Ma Hongjun was in a very good mood. Although Bai Chenxiang had learned about his past misdeeds and his attitude towards him had plummeted, he still strongly agreed with the idea that giving up a sapling could yield a whole forest.

At his age, he already possessed a soul power level of thirty-nine, making him a true genius anywhere. Ma Hongjun was extremely proud of this.

Today he went to the Spirit Hall to collect his Spirit Master stipend of one hundred gold spirit coins, and he plans to go out and enjoy himself.

"It's been several days since I've seen Xiao Hong. I wonder if she misses me?" Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun's eyes gradually turned lewd, and even his body reacted.

"Huh? I remember he was that bastard's teammate."

Ma Hongjun spotted Zhang Xiaohe on the street and decided to teach her a lesson. His small eyes darted around.

Having made up his mind, Ma Hongjun secretly followed them.

Zhang Xiaohe absorbed the soul bone, and even his soul power level broke through to level thirty-six. The attributes added by the five-thousand-year-old soul bone greatly increased his strength and defense. He now plans to go to the Great Soul Arena to test his own strength.

Ma Hongjun had a medicinal powder hidden in his hand, which he had bought from a pharmacy. Its main function was to enhance male potency. When he was not performing well in bed, he only needed to soak a little bit of the powder in his mouth to achieve good results.

The amount of powder he was hiding was enough for several adults, and he wanted to make Zhang Xiaohe lose face in front of everyone.

Just as Jue Dun was secretly following behind Zhang Xiaohe and about to make a move against her, he witnessed this scene outside the Great Soul Arena.

"You fatso, what are you trying to do?"

Jue Dun's sudden intrusion startled Ma Hongjun, causing him to lose his grip and spill the medicine powder, which he accidentally inhaled.

"you……"
