Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 167 Recognized as the State Religion? The Fighting Spirit Sword Takes an Unorthodox Approach! [Bonus Chapter - 40 + 60 Monthly Tickets]

The demigod Moon stood tall in the sky.

The deity, the Ice God, stands tall in this world.

Its overwhelming aura compels people to submit.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators spontaneously knelt down in worship, and even those below the Contra level in the contestant area bowed in submission.

Those few who managed to withstand the pressure all bowed their heads and made obeisance.

It is both a sign of respect for the strong and a sign of reverence for the gods.

The once noisy arena is now quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

—The last time was the Temple of Light, and the time before that was Huo Yuhao.

Without exception, they all revealed a massive amount of luck value!
Moreover, it's faster and more intense, with a screen-swiping speed so fast that even Zhuge Lan's Eternal Kaleidoscope can't keep up.

All I know is that it increased by 350 million in 10 seconds!!!
Then Mu En couldn't hold on any longer, retracting his Ice God phantom and demigod aura, and fell back to Limit Douluo.

—Just now, I was showing off and burning my faith power, which has been accumulated over the past six months, and now it's gone by 3%.

He was heartbroken!

He wouldn't have been willing to do it if it weren't for Yuhao's divine test.

[The Ice God's Second Trial: Spread the name of the Ice God and proclaim to the world that the Ice God still exists—Completed!]

[Rewards: Ice God Soul Ring Age +10 years, Ice God Compatibility +10%!]

[The Ice God's Third Trial Begins: Obtain the Sixth Soul Ring!]

Huo Yuhao blinked.

Even the Ice God couldn't stand it anymore after his nine trials, so he wanted him to break through as soon as possible.

Huh?
[Huo Yuhao: Brother Lan, I passed the Divine Exam, why didn't I receive a notification about my luck points?]

[Zhuge Lan: Oh, too much information, it's delayed.]

Unblock Huo Yuhao.

The rapid notification left Huo Yuhao with no room for doubt.

[Huo Yuhao: Holy crap, Brother Lan! 1 luck points in 5 seconds? I'm rich!]

Zhuge Lan just smiled.

They're really naive, making a fuss over nothing.

Yeah.

He will keep the money he just earned for Xiaoyuhao until he grows up.

Jiejiejiejiejie——

After Mu En and Zhang Lexuan finished stabilizing the situation, they quickly left.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Xu Sanshi's voice suddenly rang out, and he was seen with one arm around the host and the other holding a microphone soul guide device.

"Everyone, look me in the eye, I have something to announce!"

"Our Ice God Temple is always recruiting."

"You all heard what the High Priest just said: artificially creating innate full soul power is absolutely real and effective."

"Have you seen the twins over here, and that ice-cold kid?"

"Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Long Xiangyue all have innate soul power level 5. Those who are capable can check it out themselves."

"Six months ago, I was only level 30, but now I'm already a five-ring Soul King!"

"It's thanks to our Ice God Temple that we can enhance our innate soul power, the pure energy from the far north that can boost our cultivation speed, and even special tribute soul pills!"

"In addition, the benefits of our Ice God Temple are also top-notch. As long as we win the championship in this Soul Master Competition, we will reward the person who contributes the most with a 10-year-old Soul Spirit!"

"That's right! Our Ice God Temple and the Spirit Pagoda are neighbors. We guarantee at least one ten-thousand-year soul spirit, and if you perform well, we might even give you a hundred-thousand-year soul spirit!"

"Don't miss this opportunity! If you're interested in signing up, head outside the city and look for that big icicle. Sign up now to get in!"

"Thank you."

Xu Sanshi handed the microphone and soul guide back to the host, then swung his blond hair in a flamboyant manner and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Nannan.

Isn't bro handsome?

Jiang Nannan gave a thumbs up, amused, as if she were coaxing a child.

The two of them playfully led their team off the stage.

Xu Jiawei had mixed feelings.

Is this never going to end today?
Recruiting believers is tantamount to seizing population, no less than uprooting the Star Luo Empire.

Can.
A level 99 Limit Douluo might be able to get away with a few mishaps even with the combined power of the entire nation, but if he encounters someone who lacks martial ethics and tries to kill the emperor, then things will get really interesting.

The Star Luo Empire is leaderless, and it is believed that Tianhun and Douling would be happy to "help manage" it.

Now a demigod, or even a god, has suddenly appeared!
He dared not utter a word. He even had to give a small gift.

Picking up the microphone and using the soul-guided device—

"With Elder Mu presiding over the Ice God Temple, it must be because the Ice God has pity on the world and wants to bestow blessings."

"Our Star Luo Empire is willing to build a branch temple for the Ice God Temple, and enjoy the privilege of tax exemption and not having to bow to officials."

"If anyone is willing to join the Ice God Temple, please notify the Star Luo Empire's officials, and they will escort you to the Ice God Temple."

Vina, who was standing nearby, reacted extremely quickly.

He whispered a few words to Ning Tian and took the microphone from her.

"My Heavenly Soul Empire, like the Star Luo Empire, welcomes everyone from the Ice God Palace to settle here!"

"Furthermore, if the Ice God Temple is willing, my Heavenly Soul Empire is willing to make the Ice God the national faith and the Ice God Temple the state religion!"

A notification flashed before Zhuge Lan's eyes—

[Rewrite the fate of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Ice God Temple, +25 Luck Points!]

I go!

Does Princess Vina's word carry that much weight?
Right.

This person possesses twin martial souls and is a core member of the Body Sect. Furthermore, he and Long Aotian, the chief heir of the Body Sect, are childhood sweethearts.

They are qualified to represent the Heavenly Soul Empire.

An idea struck him.

"brush--"

Zhang Lexuan flashed to Vina's side and nodded slightly.

"Princess Vina, the High Priest invites you."

“No problem!” Vina looked at Ning Tian: “Manager Ning, whatever conditions they agree to, my Heavenly Soul Empire will follow suit unconditionally!”

"The basic conditions have been agreed upon and will not change," Ning Tian said with a smile. "However, all three empires have additional conditions that require your agreement."

"Speak." Guang was sparing with his words.

"We can bring it up later after we coordinate; it certainly won't be difficult," Ning Tian said with a smile. "Princess Vina, Lord of the Light Palace, why don't you two head back first?"

This is a private conversation with Xu Jiawei.

"Then I'll go see the Grand Elder first, bye-bye~" Vina smiled and said, "Your Majesty Star Luo, Lord of the Light Palace, Vina will take her leave now."

Without uttering a word, he turned and left.

Zhang Lexuan, with Vina in tow, quickly left.

Xu Jiawei watched the three of them exit the soul power barrier, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This little princess named Vina is incredibly decisive!
If the Ice God Temple is directly established as the state religion and the entire nation worships the Ice God, then there will be no possibility of personnel loss.

But this is tantamount to handing over the initiative. If the Ice God Palace has ulterior motives, it could cause the Heavenly Soul Empire to fall apart in no time.

It was too much of a gamble; Xu Jiawei didn't have the guts.

He looked at Ning Tian and smiled politely—

"May I ask what your conditions are, Mr. Ning?"

"The four academies—Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy, Temple of Light, and Temple of Ice—cannot be scheduled to meet before the quarterfinals," Ning Tian stated bluntly.

Xu Jiawei's eyes flickered slightly.

What is the connection between these four companies?

The Temple of Light is currently unknown.

However, the fact that the Ice God Temple can promise a 10-year-old soul suggests that it has at least some cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda.

As for Shrek Academy...
The recently popular Soul Pills originated from Shrek Academy, yet the Ice God Temple has access to them internally. They've all come prepared!
He remained expressionless and nodded in agreement.

As for whether it's a shady deal or not, that's the unspoken rule.

Otherwise, if it were a random free-for-all, with Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy clashing at the start, that would be truly hilarious.

"In that case, I'll go back and await good news." Ning Tian nodded in acknowledgment.

She turned and stepped out, and blocks of ice formed beneath her feet to support her.

Xu Jiawei then remembered that all seven spirits of the Spirit Pagoda Academy were ice-attribute, and some even possessed the ultimate ice-attribute acquired through innate means.

The connection between the Spirit Pagoda and the Ice God Temple is closer than I imagined!

But the Ice God Temple had already been bet on by the Heavenly Soul Empire, so he had to...
In the players' rest area.

After confirming that a preliminary cooperation had been reached, Zhuge Lan got up to leave.

Ma Xiaotao immediately followed.

"Brother Lan, you're going out to have fun? Can I come along?"

"I need to pee."

"I also need to pee, let's pee together."

"."

Is Ma Xiaotao perhaps a twin martial soul, with her second martial soul being a dog-skin plaster?
Huo Yuhao also took Wang Dong'er's hand and got up to walk outside.

"Shall we go back for dual cultivation?" Huo Yuhao asked. "Or, Dong'er, would you like to wander around some more?"

"Won't this be too much of a waste of time?" Wang Dong'er asked cautiously.

"It's alright, you can cultivate the Yi Jin Jing and the power of Hao Dong while walking."

Wow! Yuhao, you're amazing!

"Hey hey hey-"

Beibei also pulled Tang Ya along and quietly slipped away.

Seeing this, Gongyang Mo and the others also prepared to flee.

"Did I tell you to leave?" Han Ruoruo snapped. "Sit down! Watch the game properly!"

"Ah!" Xixi wailed, "Teacher Han, Teacher Wang, you've just confirmed your relationship, aren't you going out on dates?"

Han Ruoruo remained unmoved and put on a stern face.

"Don't think that just because Shrek Academy has Yuhao and the others, they've already secured the championship!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Yuhao, Dong'er, Xiaoxiao, Beibei, and Tangya will not be playing against the teams from the Temple of Light, the Temple of Ice, and the Spirit Pagoda."

"The team will be led by Ma Xiaotao, along with Zhuge, Gongyang Mo, Chen Zifeng, Xixi, Yao Haoxuan, and He Caitou to fight."

Are you still relaxed now?

Hear this.

Everyone present, except for Xiao Xiao, stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
What the hell?
Why aren't the best players participating?
"No way!" Gongyang Mo wailed, "At least take He Caitou off the team! He's just a reserve player!"

"Yes, teacher, I'm only a fourth-ring Soul Master, while the Temple of Light has at least five-ring Soul Kings on average, right?" He Caitou said awkwardly.

"You underestimate them. Their strength is at the level of a sixth-ring Soul Emperor." Han Ruoruo said calmly, "This is a given fact. Dean Yan said it himself, so don't take any chances. Study your tactics carefully!"

"Hiss—" Yao Haoxuan said with a toothache, "Among us, only Gongyang Mo is a six-ring Soul Emperor, and he's a support. What level is that Zhuge Lan?"

"He's just here to experience it; don't expect him to be a key player," Wang Yan cautioned.

This made Gongyang Mo and his group even more devastated!
Done!

Shrek Academy's perpetual championship might be about to end in their hands!!!
That night.

News about Shrek Academy, the Spirit Tower, the Ice Temple, and the Light Temple spread throughout the world through various channels.

Shrek Academy produced a five-ring Soul King, with four 10-year Soul Rings and one Blue-Gold Soul Ring, but he was only a Soul Master!

It can change the existing Soul Master system, allowing support characters to become battle Soul Masters!
The current master of the Sea God Pavilion became the Grand Elder of the Ice God Temple, and further achieved the status of a demigod, with a wisp of divine aura descending upon him!
With so many sensational news reports circulating, I initially thought they were just rumors.

After multiple confirmations, who is the most anxious?
The Heavenly Soul Empire is betting everything on the Ice God Temple.

The Sun and Moon Empire has been chosen by the Temple of Light.

The Star Luo Empire has a convenient location near the Spirit Pagoda.

The remaining Douling Empire feels like it's doomed!
The most outrageous thing is that the Emperor of Douling did not choose to make amends or try to win over the three forces of the Ice God Temple.

instead
Shrek Academy wins!

Huo Yuhao sat in his wheelchair beforehand, leaning against it and controlling Frostmourne, easily taking down Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy in one fell swoop.

He shook his head in the athletes' rest area, sighed, and left the field.

Although he didn't say a word, his sarcasm was palpable.

While many students were secretly cursing.

An old man appeared quietly in front of Huo Yuhao, who had not even noticed him before.

His eyes narrowed, but he didn't speak.

"brush--"

Xuanzi appeared carrying a wine gourd, staring at the old man with displeasure.

"Old man Tianyang, what do you want with my Shrek disciple?"

"Of course it's a good thing." The old man Tianyang said without any politeness, "Back then, your teacher called me 'senior,' but now you're just an old man?"

"Hey!" Xuanzi said unhappily, "You've been stuck at level 97 for over 20 years, and you're using seniority as an excuse to be surpassed by me?"

"Hmph! I'm not here to see you today!" Tianyang looked at Huo Yuhao: "Little guy, I want to meet your demigod teacher. Please introduce me."

He then handed over a storage ring.

Xuanzi snatched it first and examined it.

Wow! They're really going all out!

"However, my disciple might not be interested."

"Yuhao, you decide for yourself."

Xuanzi handed the storage ring to Huo Yuhao, who took it and examined it.

A head soul bone of quality over 5 years, a small mountain of about one million gold soul coins, and another small mountain of various herbs.

The value of this storage ring is approximately ten million gold soul coins.

Just for an introduction?
It seems the Douling Empire has truly been pushed to the brink.

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, actually connecting with Zhuge Lan below through mental power.

[Huo Yuhao: Brother Lan, what do you mean?]

[Zhuge Lan: They're most likely after the Holy Flame Cult. Although the Douling Empire is the smallest of the four great empires, it's still an empire. If it could become the state religion, its luck value should be considerable.]

[Huo Yuhao: So that means you agree?]

[Zhuge Lan: Let me see if we ultimately profit or lose if the Douling Empire is destroyed.]

[Huo Yuhao: Huh? Were wiped out? Why?]

[Zhuge Lan: Children shouldn't pry into adult matters.]

Huo Yuhao subtly curled his lip.

Tianyang and Xuanzi stood with their arms clasped together, making no further moves.

—Although mental power is formless and intangible, mental fluctuations cannot escape the notice of two super Douluo.

After a few seconds.

[Zhuge Lan: I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?]

[Huo Yuhao: Uh...]

[Zhuge Lan: Okay, I'll tell you the result directly. After the operation, you'll make a small profit, and you'll receive some money right now. This deal is worth doing.]

[Huo Yuhao: A deal? We've become the state religion, aren't we going to protect the Douling Empire?]

[Zhuge Lan: Today I'll teach you a lesson. Gold Soul Coins don't disappear after you spend them; they just change into other forms to accompany you.]

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment.

Something's wrong!
If the Holy Fire Cult becomes the state religion of the Douling Empire again, wouldn't all four great empires become its domain?

Wait!

wrong!

Could it be that Brother Lan is planning to...?
