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

Chapter 179 The Nemesis of Soul Masters! Soul Pill + Soul Spirit = ? [Bonus Chapter - For the Sect Leader's "The Wronged Dream Captor"]

"boom!"

Two ascension formations enveloped the four people, causing them to fly uncontrollably into the sky.

Everyone assumed that Ye Guyi and his group were going to attack the four people, and they secretly prepared to counterattack.

A ball of light rose into the sky, and Yi Chen and Wang Shiying immediately launched a powerful offensive soul skill, attempting to counter the attack with an offensive one.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up and my ears started ringing.

Fourth-Order Holy Light Blast!

A combination of flashbang and stun grenade, a phantom shot.

Ye Guyi and Ji Juechen had been attacking for a long time, and this time they did not use any combat skills. The three swords went straight into her soul skill, Star Guardian.

The powerful defense that the Star Crown Sect was so proud of flickered strangely a few times before being completely destroyed on the spot.

"brush--"

The most popular defensive soul tool, the Invincible Shield, has appeared! At level 5, it can block three attacks from a Soul Douluo!
But when faced with three black longswords, it vanished in a flash!
After a long while, his eyes sharpened, as if he wanted to unleash some hidden trump card.

But his legs suddenly went weak, and he felt his soul power drop sharply.

Three longswords fell on her, and she finally understood the source of everything.

—This longsword can devour soul power!
Do not!
It's not about devouring!

It was more like a "dissolution," where the soul power simply vanished into thin air.
If someone possesses such an ability, it could be attributed to a unique characteristic of their martial soul.

But these were two people, and neither of them summoned their martial spirits.

So the problem lies with the sword!

"This is black gold?" Xu Jiujiu asked incredulously, "You have the means to touch black gold without having your soul power dissolved?"

Ye Guyi smiled smugly.

The black gold dissolves soul power; what does that have to do with their spiritual power?
Let's look outside again.

Guang also stuck his twin swords into the shield, but the so-called level seven absolute defense soul tool was drained in just ten seconds.

Just now, Wang Yuguo and Wu Hongchen were in the same situation. The Star Guardian, which had been used for isolation for a long time, was remotely drained of soul power, causing her legs to give way.

—The longswords equipped by these five people were all made of black gold!

That's a level eight rare metal!!!

Among them, Guang and Ye Guyi are both wielding twin swords!

Furthermore, their heavy armor was the same color as their longswords; could it also be made of black gold?
The last two "ranged soul masters" also wore the same armor.

A true nemesis of Soul Masters, anyone who touches him will be weak in the knees!

Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get so much black gold?!"

Could it be that the Sun and Moon Empire was completely overwhelmed by this Temple of Light, and that's why they're willing to go to such lengths?
Meanwhile, in the players' rest area.

All the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy stood up in shock after a long exclamation.

seem
They were quite shocked that the Temple of Light was equipped with black gold.

“Princess Jiu Jiu, you have lost.” Guang said calmly, “As for this black gold, we found it in the private treasury of several royal relatives of the Sun Moon Empire after killing them.”

Xu Jiujiu: "."

She just asked that one question!
Now, how do I answer this?

Good riddance?

I raised my hand without hesitation.

"Referee, our Xingluo National Academy concedes defeat."

He led the way and ran off the fighting arena without hesitation.

—Let whoever wants to beat up these plague gods of the Temple of Light go!

That's black gold!!!

Even a Limit Douluo had to launch a full-force attack to barely break through the black gold!
It can only be used as black gold in a prison!

It's amazing that those murderous bastards from the Temple of Light found a way to use it without getting hurt. No wonder they can stand ahead of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

—As one of the original shareholders of the Temple of Light, she knew that the light of the Sun and Moon Empire was terrified. At that time, she had nothing of value and had to scavenge for all her weapons and equipment after her resurrection!

Xu Jiujiu felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, when Old Mu came to "extort" them, they gave him a generous donation out of courtesy.

Otherwise, if this thing were in their own empire
I have to sleep with one eye open and one eye closed!

The battle was resolved so dramatically that the atmosphere hadn't even warmed up yet.

Host: "Congratulations to the Temple of Light on your victory!"

"Let's take a short break. Next up is Spirit Pagoda Academy vs. Howling Sky Academy!"

Yo!
Xiaotian Academy is the weakest among the top sixteen.

Zhuge Lan wouldn't believe it if the Star Luo royal family hadn't interfered.

—Could it be that the original match was between the Temple of Light and the Temple of Ice, but Xu Jiawei changed his academy's opponent because of a promise?
It's not impossible.

Huo Yuhao then approached, looking excited.

[Huo Yuhao: Wow! You earned 65 luck points? That's more than I did!]

broken!

I forgot to block this guy, I missed out on 65!

Forget it.

This kid just got ripped off yesterday, let him have some fun.

"Game start!"

The host left the stage with his microphone and soul guide device.

Ning Tian picked up her microphone soul tool—this time, instead of using the spirit transmission tower to install an amplifying soul tool, she used the one provided by the competition organizers.

"Today I'm going to show you the power-attack type's attribute stacking."

“Wu Feng, 12 years old, level 59, martial soul red dragon, fire attribute.”

Wu Feng released his martial soul, the Red Dragon, and five soul rings, yellow, black, and dark black, rose from beneath his feet.

—This is actually a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit that was absorbed during the third soul ring!
Even if the soul doesn't experience soul tremors, it must still have a full set of soul bones and be of considerable age.

Also.

After all, as Ning Tian's "official wife," Huo Yuhao's handpicked protector, and a genius who consolidated her foundation by consuming the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, she deserves increased investment.

"Ow—"

A western lizard dragon flew out from the black spirit ring. Its claws were like molten lava crystals, its scales were dark gold, and its body was wreathed in undying purple flames.

"The Soul Spirit Ember Dragon is 65000 years old and possesses an inextinguishable purple flame that is close to the ultimate fire."

Wow!
A soul beast possessing near-ultimate fire—just look at Ma Xiaotao, the former tyrant of the inner academy, and you'll know how prestigious she is.

And the 65000-year limit is even more impressive!
How can a third spirit ring absorb such a high age limit?
This spirit is being way too unreasonable!
Ning Tian didn't explain the matter of the fully equipped soul bones, letting them guess.

"In addition to granting Wu Feng two ten-thousand-year soul skills, the Ember Dragon can also inherit its own indestructible purple flames to her."

"The combination of these two fire attributes brings it one step closer to the ultimate fire, and it also possesses the characteristic of an inextinguishable purple flame—it burns without ceasing!"

With Ning Tian's assistance, Wu Feng unleashed a torrent of flames at Xiaotian Academy, which burned fiercely even on beast spirits and defensive soul tools.

Ning Tian: "Furthermore, there is the matter of coordinated combat. As souls without physical bodies, although they will be weakened for a period of time after being killed, as long as the soul ring is still in the origin, they can be reborn, so they can carry out suicide attacks."

The Ember Dragon swooped down and charged into the formation of the Howling Sky Academy, offering no defense and trading blows for damage.

It disrupted Xiaotian Academy's formation, forcing them to send out a defensive-type five-ring Soul King to entangle it.

Ning Tian: "Furthermore, there's the system developed by our Tower Master, which allows spirits to remotely use the spirit skills granted by their spirit rings, transforming them into self-destructing infantrymen who then charge into the enemy camp."

As the Ember Dragon flapped its wings, the sky turned dark purple, and an inextinguishable purple flame suddenly ignited over most of the Battle Arena, automatically tracking the nearest target.

Fifth Soul Skill: Eternal Night Flame!

A rare domain-type soul skill, the most terrifying aspect being the ability of the Undying Purple Flame to stack and explode, transforming into a true self-destructing infantryman, blasting Xiaotian Academy to smithereens. Captain Chenglong glanced at Ning Tian's side, where six ice-attribute soul spirits were on high alert.

It is simply impossible to break through in a short period of time.

With no other choice, he gritted his teeth and threw out a spherical soul tool, which exploded into a fan-shaped bolt of lightning upon hitting the ground, weaving into a net of death that enveloped the Ember Dragon.

They were about to make contact.

The Ember Dragon, along with the fiery domain that filled the sky, vanished without a trace.

Ning Tian: "This is another characteristic of the soul spirit. It can actively cancel itself at any time and return to the soul ring. Although it will consume some soul and soul power, the cost is much lighter than being seriously injured and scattered. It can even continue to fight."

The Ember Dragon poked its head out from Wu Feng's sizable chest and crawled back over to rub against Wu Feng's head.

Ning Tian: "Next, we'll talk about coordinated combat between souls."

The seven students from Xiaotian Academy: "."

Are you really using them as teaching materials, repeatedly showing them here?

Unfortunately, they received a notice before the match that they could do whatever they wanted during the game, but they could not surrender voluntarily.

So that's what they were planning?

They dared not disobey, because—they were an academy of the Star Luo Empire!

The Spirit Pagoda is clearly intended to become the state religion of the Star Luo Empire, so what's wrong with suffering a little humiliation now?
Maybe I'll be one of the first Soul Spirit owners later on!

Thinking like this.

Xiaotian Academy endured humiliation and cooperated with the demonstration for a full half hour!
Ning Tian then sighed regretfully.

"It's a pity I can only bring seven team members, otherwise I could show you just how ferocious the soul army can be when it charges!"

What the hell?
Souls forming an army?

Can these fearless creatures really form an army?

impossible?

Soul Masters aren't that cheap!
Ning Tian: "I'm sure you all have some questions, so let me clear them up for you."

She clapped her hands.

A ten-meter-long aquarium was set up in the contestants' passage, with hundreds of fist-sized red shrimp swimming inside.

Ning Tian explained—

"This creature is called Arctic sweet shrimp. It has a lifespan of at most a hundred years, rarely exceeding a thousand years, and I have never seen one that lives for ten thousand years."

"Like ice silkworms, it is a basic food in the far north, as abundant as blue silver grass among humans."

“This batch consists of Arctic sweet shrimp that are over 90 years old and are nearing the end of their lives, so we agreed to let them become spirits.”

"And those who signed the soul-equal contract with them are..."

"Come up."

"Boom, boom, boom——"

Amidst the sound of synchronized footsteps, a disciplined military team jogged into the arena and stopped in front of the Arctic shrimp tank.

Several people emerged from the contestant rest area of ​​the Spirit Tower Academy. They were dressed in dark orange robes embroidered with dark patterns in the shape of soul beasts.

Ning Tian: "This is a Spirit Transfer Master, who specializes in signing equal contracts between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts."

Seeing this scene, most people have already guessed what happened.

but
"That soldier is Qiangzi, a useless martial soul with innate level 0 soul power. He can't even cultivate soul power, yet he can absorb soul spirits?"

"Er Gou is the same; he has a useless martial soul, so how could he possibly absorb a soul spirit?"

"Even a soul needs to reach a bottleneck to absorb it, right?"

"Could it be that even ten-year-old soul beasts can be sacrificed?"

"really!"

"Have you heard of the spirit before?"

"Ah this."

Amidst the commotion.

Ning Tian looked towards the Shrek Academy players' rest area and nodded slightly.

"We would like to ask the friends of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult to come out and explain."

Han Ruoruo stood up, and the moment she took a step, her clothes turned into light spots and scattered, revealing a blue-purple robe with fire cloud and starry sky patterns, but the most eye-catching thing was the cute cat on her chest.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Yan, Bei Bei, and the other boys all lowered their heads.

This is so embarrassing!

But Xiao Xiao and the other girls laughed very smugly.

"So, this is the uniform of the Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult?" Zhuge Lan asked in surprise, "Who designed it? That's a real talent!"

Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, Wang Dong'er, and Ma Xiaotao all raised their hands.

"I led the charge!" Ma Xiaotao shouted, "Brother Lan, you've already set the tone, calling it the Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult, but they only call it the Holy Flame Cult on ordinary days. It's truly hypocritical!"

"Yes, isn't this teacher's uniform adorable?" Xiao Xiao said with satisfaction.

"Mmm! Tangtang will definitely like it!" Tang Ya smiled sweetly.

Zhuge Lan gave a thumbs up, "You guys are good at causing trouble."

At this moment, Han Ruoruo walked to the front of the squad, raised her hand and used her soul power to hold up a thousand soul pills, and accurately distributed 10 pills to each soldier.

He also pulled out a microphone-like soul-guided device and shouted loudly—

"This item is called Soul Pill, which is made from herbs and the remains of soul beasts."

"They were given first-tier soul pills. Six to ten pills can give a level 0 soul master the soul power to break through to level 10."

"Even so, their meridians will be completely blocked by the poison, and they will be unable to use their soul power, thus they will be unable to cultivate for the rest of their lives."

"But once you obtain your first spirit ring, you can sign a spirit spirit equality contract and obtain a ten-year spirit spirit. And spirit spirits can use spirit power without going through meridians."

"After this batch of Arctic sweet shrimp becomes spirits, their remains will be recycled to continue making spirit pills."

"By repeating this process, we can create an invincible army composed entirely of level 11 Soul Masters, each possessing a Soul Spirit that is fearless in the face of death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar!
What kind of cheating method is this?
Soul Masters fill their useless souls with poison pills to serve as a reserve energy source for their spirits?

It is
What a brilliant idea!
Such a spirit army is not just fearless; it can also use spirit tools through spirit intermediaries, which greatly expands its operational scope.

And if we disregard erysipelas.

Can those low-level Soul Masters who are stuck and unable to level up be "force-fed" to reach the maximum level and obtain a Soul Spirit?
Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire keenly perceived its value and couldn't help but clench her fist.

I thought that recruiting the Ice God Temple as the state religion would make it easier to get along with than the Light God Temple, more powerful than the Spirit Pagoda, and more cohesive than the Holy Fire Cult.

I never expected the Spirit Pagoda to have such a quirky tactic.

The people of the Sun and Moon Empire, except for those in the Temple of Light, all have stagnation in their chests.

Look at other countries' national religions; at least they're a powerful alliance.

What about theirs?

Bandit leader!

The discussion quickly ceased as the soldiers began consuming Soul Pills, their auras breaking through one after another.

A small group ate 7 and stopped, most ate 8 or 9, and only one person ate 10.

Then, each person took a "waiting in line" Arctic sweet shrimp from their fish tank and sat cross-legged on the fighting platform.

The seven students from Xiaotian Academy: "."

Hey!
We're still here!

The game isn't over yet!!

That's incredibly disrespectful!

In their anger—
