Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 196 Tang Lie
In the spectator stands of Shrek Academy, there was an old man with nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appearing on his body.

And this domineering soul power comes from him.

Wu Fuxun froze, no longer daring to make any further moves.

He would never forget that domineering soul power unique to the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Hao...Haotian Sect..."

His eyes showed terror, and the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

With a Title Douluo possessing the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in charge, the Shrek Academy members felt even more confident.

A smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's lips. With the Clear Sky Sect as his backer and a Title Douluo protecting him, so what if the secret of his twin martial souls was exposed?

On the arena, with Feng Xiaotian defeated by Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, the situation became quite clear.

Tang Lie watched Tang San's retreating figure with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes; he had never given Tang San a kind look since they first met.

But in his heart, he acknowledged Tang San.

At fourteen years old, a four-ring Soul Master, possessing twin martial souls and an external soul bone, any one of these qualities would be enough to be considered genius by any other Soul Master, let alone all of them in one person.

The elders and disciples of the Haotian Sect hate Tang Hao. They hate him for bringing danger to the sect and for leaving the sect at all costs. But they hate him even more for not trusting the sect and for not returning to the sect to seek protection after causing trouble.

The Clear Sky Sect has always known who the real enemy is. Every time an elder breaks through to the Title Douluo level, the voices within the sect all call for revenge against the Spirit Hall.

Their hatred for Tang Hao is completely different from their hatred for the Spirit Hall.

Both Tang Hao and Tang San have the blood of the old sect leader flowing in their veins.

"What's wrong? You guys want to go up and try too?"

The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect standing beside Tang Lie were eager to try their hand at this kind of soul battle competition. Especially after seeing Shrek Academy win one soul battle competition after another, they, being young and ambitious, naturally wanted to compete with the genius soul masters of their generation.

Upon hearing the Seventh Elder's words, the Haotian Sect disciples gave an awkward smile; they did indeed share that thought.

The Soul Master Competition is organized by the Spirit Hall, and given their style, they certainly wouldn't allow any changes to the team rosters midway through the competition.

Xiao Wu curled up in the corner, instinctively clutching the Acacia Heartbreak Red in her arms. No one noticed her unusual behavior. Everyone's attention was focused on the arena. Ever since Tang Lie arrived at Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu had become very cautious.

……

"Tang Hao, what are you trying to do?"

Not long after entering Tiandou City, the three elders of the Haotian Sect and Tang Xiao discovered Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows protecting Tang San.

Conversely, Tang Hao also discovered them.

"This is what I owe the sect. I know I can never repay it in my lifetime, but I need to pay the price for what I did back then."
"Brother, the other man is your nephew. I'm very relieved that he'll have your protection in the future."

Tang Hao wanted to forcibly remove the soul bone from his body, at the cost of the soul bone and two soul rings.

But his actions were stopped by the three elders.

"Hmph, are you going to run away again? Using this self-harming method to escape, is this how you repay the sect for the training it has given you? How much has the sect spent on you? Is this how you repay the sect?"

If you truly wish to atone for your sins, then keep your crippled body and make up for the sect's losses in the future!
"We, the Clear Sky Sect, will settle this score with the Spirit Hall sooner or later." "Your injuries are serious. I will find Yang Wudi and have him treat you. We can use this opportunity to make amends for the harm we caused them. The four great families suffered heavy losses, ultimately due to our actions."

"But what exactly is Ning Fengzhi plotting? I'm quite curious. It seems like an unexpected coincidence, but traces of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be found in it."

Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry was that the elders would really give up on Tang Hao.

Judging from the current situation, this is at least the best possible outcome.

Having been in seclusion for many years, how exactly will the Clear Sky Sect return to the Soul Master world? This is a question worth pondering.

At the very least, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family already knew about the whereabouts of the Clear Sky School, and they were already speculating about how the Clear Sky School would reappear in the Soul Master world.
With the addition of Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, the Haotian Sect has a total of seven Title Douluos, and their martial souls are all Haotian Hammers, making their combat power surpass that of ordinary Title Douluos.

Even Ning Fengzhi, who arranged all of this, did not expect that the Haotian Sect would have so many Title Douluos now.

……

Tie Li returned to his hotel room to rest. Tomorrow was the last match, and the opponent's strength was average, so winning the match would be almost effortless.

It's almost certain they'll advance to the next round of the qualifying tournament.

The qualifying rounds are different from the preliminary rounds; they are held in military camps without a public arena.

The two empires competed separately. Within the Heavenly Dou Empire, in addition to the main competition area, there were five other sub-competition areas with a total of ten teams. Those who successfully advanced from the qualifiers were undoubtedly the elite of the elite.

The next day, Tie Li led his team onto the arena. Their opponents today were the Flame Team, all seven of whom were three-ring Soul Masters. Facing a team brought by a Soul King, the seven of them all showed a wry smile.

But this was the last match of the preliminaries, and they were unwilling to end their Soul Master Tournament journey by forfeiting.

Therefore, they decided to fight with all their might, and even if they lost, they did not intend to give up.

"Game start!"

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, both teams immediately released their martial spirits and spirit rings.

However, under the pressure of Tie Li, the Soul King, the seven members of the Flame Team had difficulty unleashing their full strength, and they were eliminated in less than a few rounds.

After the matches on the other stages are over, an awards ceremony will be held to award the top five teams from the preliminary rounds with qualification certificates for the next round.

Teams that do not advance will not participate in the final ceremony; only the top five teams will be able to go to the VIP section of the main stage to receive their awards.

The top four teams in the qualifiers have been confirmed, but the fifth team to qualify is still in the competition.

The Tianshui team will face the Shattered Star team, and the winner will advance to the next round of the qualifying tournament.

The Shattered Star team has the advantage in the number of Soul Masters and the level of Soul Power, but the Skywater team has hidden its methods.

The Spirit Fusion Technique that the Tianshui Team used against the Shrek Team in the original timeline was used against the Shattered Star Team this time.

The Tianshui team concealed their methods when facing the Shrek team, and did not use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"Give up, don't let this ruin your beautiful appearances." The captain of the Shattered Star team looked at Shui Bing'er with a strange gaze.

"You should think more about yourselves. Our Tianshui team is determined to take this last point!"
