Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Although Super Shrimp was badly hit by that punch, he liked it very much. But he had to accept his loss and there was nothing he could do about it.

The previous attack was so fast that he had to use his soul power to dodge it, otherwise he would have exposed his wife's true cultivation level, or he would have been stabbed through without any choice.

Although he should have won in the end, he reluctantly handed over the Divine Light Mantis Shrimp Gauntlets, even though he kept them just for show and they didn't serve any practical purpose.

He didn't hear much about what happened after that, but in short, he announced the official establishment of the Soul Guidance Department, welcoming visitors and inviting anyone interested to join.

Due to Ji Jiaojiao's outstanding performance and the natural popularity of the beautiful master and apprentice, coupled with the fact that the Soul Guidance Department's badge is said to be a quarter-cubic-meter spatial soul tool, it became incredibly sought after.

This is what Qian Shui wanted, but without his boxing gloves, he couldn't even enjoy his food. When he returned to the team, he didn't care much about Xiao Wu's disdain.

With the return of the Royal Fighting Team, a dinner party was inevitable after the tournament to share recent achievements.

"Rongrong, why are you all stuck at level 30 or 40? Didn't you go hunting for souls?"

"Hmph! You're asking this woman, aren't you!"

"Uh... Your Highness the Crown Princess..."

As the saying goes, three women make a drama. Currently, there are seven women gathered together, excluding the two ferocious beasts and including Ning Huahua. They could form a team to compete.

Fortunately, several of them are rather quiet and don't like to talk much, otherwise, their constant chatter would be unbearable.

As for Dugu Yan's problem, it has been around for a long time. It's not that Qian Shui doesn't want to, but the Tian Dou Royal Academy is undergoing reforms. All the high-level teachers have been pulled away to meetings to discuss the issue, or have been reassigned to do manual labor. Unless he does it himself, or gets Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin to help, it will really be difficult.

Actually, it wouldn't be unreasonable to mobilize a specially appointed Title Douluo to make a special trip for these few minor ones. After all, you can't expect two ferocious beasts to lead people to hunt soul beasts, right? We should be thankful if they don't go berserk.

In conclusion, it wouldn't matter if I didn't hunt souls; at most, it would just delay things and wouldn't affect my soul power cultivation. So, I should prioritize solidifying my foundation. As a result, due to various factors, I didn't go soul hunting.

"Hey, it's okay, we can arrange it tomorrow or the day after. The professional classification is basically finalized, so I'll be free. Plus, Qin Ming is back too, let's go together! Right, Qin Ming!"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

It was nearing dusk, and a group of people sat around a campfire. Ning Rongrong dared to directly call Ning Huahua that woman, but the others didn't have such a good background or mindset.

Especially since Yin Jin knew Ning Huahua's true identity, he didn't want to offend either Qian Renxue or Qian Shui.

"Originally, whenever one of you broke through, a teacher would personally guide you to the Soul Hunting event. This was to prevent any accidents, as one-on-one guidance is the safest option. However, the academy is currently facing a difficult situation, and your cultivation tasks are quite heavy, so we can't spare the time."

Even Miss Rongrong, you didn't seek help from the sect, did you?"

"I went to see her that day and ran into Brother Shui. Actually, I didn't go home, and I didn't want to make an exception. It's not that easy!"

"Pfft! Huh?" Yin Jin, who was taking a sip of hot tea, spat it out. Not knowing what was going on, he looked at Ning Huahua in disbelief, his eyes saying it all.

In Yin Jin's eyes, Qian Renxue = Xue Qinghe = Ning Huahua, and Ning Rongrong clearly has feelings for Xue Qinghe. Suddenly she even calls him "Brother Shui". What are these two playing at?

"Soul Hunting? No problem! Let's go! Sunset Forest tomorrow!"

This whole thing was caused by procrastination, and bringing it up now made him quite embarrassed. At the same time, in order not to dwell on his strange relationship with Ning Rongrong, he patted his chest and vouched for it.

But this drew displeased glances from the two ferocious beasts beside him and Xiao Wu. Thick-skinned and fearless, he pointed to the sky and pushed the blame onto the beast, saying, "What are you looking at? How can we level up without hunting souls? Go and reason with the people up there!"

The Snow Empress didn't say anything, the Ice Empress rolled her eyes and ignored him, but the aggressive Xiao Wu wasn't going to give him the chance. Anyway, she didn't need to hunt souls and had already broken through to the Soul Master level: "Tch! So confident! At least who dared to boast that they could defeat Sister Jiao Jiao without using soul power?"

"I won that match!"

"Your boxing gloves are gone!"

"I won that match!"

"Your stockings are torn!"

"Hey! Is that the important point?! I'll emphasize it again! I won that battle!"

"Ha! Your stockings are torn!"

"you!"

Explain? Ning Huahua was still in a battle-damaged state at this moment, so there was no way to explain. If he explained any further, he would be considered a pervert. Although Qian Renxue's was his, it didn't matter, and it didn't matter if others didn't know. But this rabbit knew, which made him very uncomfortable.

The banter between the two improved the atmosphere considerably, and Ning Rongrong even gave Xiao Wu a thumbs up.

Young people are full of vigor, and when they get together to eat, drink, and have fun, they inevitably have to spar. In particular, two of the young people from the three major sects are here, and especially under the tutelage of Yin Jin, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yu Tianheng, who has already broken through to level 59, is bound to receive special attention.

Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng were vastly different, but they still fought. The clash between the two powerful attack-type beast spirits was not interesting to Qian Shui, who found it boring, but the kids were having a blast.

"Go Tianheng!" "Boss Dai, get him!"

Looking around, Tang San remained silent, lost in thought. Perhaps Ji Jiaojiao's technological shock to Douluo Continent was too great, even Qian Shui couldn't withstand it, let alone Tang San.

However, some things that Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong were talking about caught his attention.

"Rongrong, is the 'Shui-gege' you're talking about the 'singer' Qian Shui?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Dugu Yan's peculiar green eyes revealed her sadness, and she said lightly, "It's nothing. Mentioning him reminds me of my grandfather. He hasn't appeared for almost ten years. Speaking of which, the last time I saw him was during the Elite Competition when 'The Singer' was participating."

"Sister Yan, are you referring to His Majesty Bilin?"

"Ah."

"How could that be? Although your grandfather is known for his eccentric and unpredictable temperament, surely he wouldn't have disappeared for almost ten years?"

“Rongrong, you were young back then and didn’t know much about what happened. After the Elite Tournament ended, many people actually disappeared. Not only my grandfather, but even Tianheng’s uncle disappeared. Tianheng asked his elders, but they all kept quiet about it.”

The longer time goes on, the deeper my worries become. Perhaps they will never come back…

Qian Shui, who was involved in the situation, remained silent. Dugu Bo and Yu Luomian had both died at his hands, but he was not the one who started it.

If you're going to kill someone, you have to be prepared to be killed yourself. He had originally given these people a way out, but their humanity failed them. Qian Shui risked mutual destruction and wiped out all the participants. He was quite frenzied at the time.

Just then, Yu Tianheng was pushed and shoved by the crowd to stand in front of Qian Shui, leaving Qian Shui, who was eavesdropping on the gossip, completely bewildered.

"Your Highness, I've heard you're also a Soul Master. Our Soul Power levels are similar; would you be so kind as to spar a bit..."

Upon hearing this, not only did the boys who had been egging Yu Tianheng on get excited, but even Yin Jin and Qin Ming looked over with great interest.

Xiao Wu, who usually loves to join in the fun, expressed no interest. The battle with Ji Jiaojiao during the day was limited, so it wasn't worth watching. Against someone like Yu Tianheng, Qian Shui would definitely not be able to show off his skills under the level 60 restriction. If he wanted to, he could easily crush Yu Tianheng with his eight-ring strength by cheating. What's so interesting about that?

The person himself became interested. He had already fought the number one weapon spirit in the world, but he hadn't experienced a beast spirit yet. The level 59 enhanced version of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex hammering the White Tiger was boring, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda fighting the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex sounded very exciting.

Seeing Ning Huahua take off her pretentious sunglasses, revealing a face almost identical to her own, and just as she was about to draw her sword and step forward, Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, became displeased. Her eyes darted around, and she said with a wicked smile, "Hey, the Elite Tournament is about to start. Weapons are not allowed in the Elite Tournament. You can only fight with your Martial Soul. You woman, why are you drawing your sword?"

Sure enough, some people, without being egged on, had already lost face during the day and were determined to get revenge tonight, showing these kids the charm of physical skills!

So he put the sword he had just picked up back down.

Qin Ming, who was standing to the side, asked Yin Jin in a low voice, "Will the Crown Princess be able to manage without the sword?"

"Uh... how would I know?" He just assumed that his boss had developed some new skill and taught it to his wife.

"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 59 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King!"

"Ning Huahua, Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 60 Support-type Battle Soul King!"

After the self-introductions were completed, the martial souls were activated, and two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings unfolded. No one shouted "start," and the two sides began fighting as soon as the preparations were finished.

Beast Martial Souls inevitably require Martial Soul Possession, yet Yu Tianheng managed to do so while charging forward.

A dazzling blue light suddenly shone from between Yu Tianheng's eyebrows. Immediately afterward, the blue light spread and descended from between his eyebrows into his entire body. Streaks of blue-purple electricity burst out like small snakes, circling around his body. At the same time, a blue lightning bolt mark appeared on his forehead.

In the eyes of Yin Jin and Qin Ming, who could see clearly, during Yu Tianheng's charge forward, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex possessed him, and at the same time, his arms transformed into dragons. Instantly, his first soul ring lit up, the air violently distorted, and a heart-palpitating crackling sound erupted. Those who knew him knew that this was Yu Tianheng's first soul skill - Thunder Dragon Claw.

Qian Shui could do something even more outrageous. He had experience fighting against Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul users at the Soul Douluo level. Yu Tianheng's charge forward didn't mean he would just stand there and take a beating. In everyone's eyes, Ning Huahua was even faster.

As Yu Tianheng activated his first soul skill, Ning Huahua had already leaped above his head, and an elbow strike imbued with soul power was about to land, targeting the back of Yu Tianheng's neck.

Chapter 224 Physical Shock

"Hey, what's wrong? You haven't said much since the academy announced the establishment of the Soul Guidance Department during the day? You didn't even react to such an interesting battle?"

Looking back at Dai Mubai, Tang San shook his head. At this moment, he didn't have many thoughts, but the battle between Ning Huahua and Yu Tianheng made him increasingly confused.

Lightning flashed on the Soul Battle Stage, reflecting off the bonfire below. The fiery red and blue lightning colors were also imprinted on Tang San's somewhat bewildered face.

Tang Clan Hidden Weapons – what a glorious phrase! Peacock Feather, Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus – these hidden weapons represent the pinnacle of mechanical hidden weapons and are his proudest and most lethal weapons.

But everything that has happened recently doesn't seem real. He originally went to the auction house to auction off hidden weapons with the idea of ​​earning some pocket money, but some things are not quite what he imagined.

In his judgment, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the Hidden Sand Shot that he made could at least kill a Soul Sect member at close range, which should have caused a great stir, especially for support sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Excluding people like Ning Huahua, even Ning Rongrong praised his hidden weapons. Even with the auxiliary cultivation concept brought by Qian Shui, when Yu Tianheng, a top-tier beast martial soul owner, appeared, anyone with knowledge should understand that the limit of this theory is actually only at the Soul Saint level, and absolutely cannot exceed the scope of the Martial Soul True Body.

But his hidden weapons are different. Just like the methods of using hidden weapons recorded in the Tang Sect's "Xuantian Baolu", he is confident that even a Title Douluo would change color when facing the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, which ranks first among the mechanical hidden weapons in the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons.

Things need to be done step by step, and cannot be accomplished overnight. Tang San's current level of cultivation and financial resources are not enough to support him in creating such hidden weapons. He only needs to choose to take risks and gain fame with simple hidden weapons. As long as he is noticed by important figures, such as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or that handsome and elegant crown prince of the empire, he will be able to achieve great things.

But clearly, his classmate is Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi's daughter, and Ning Huahua is the Crown Princess. He has shown enough, but he just doesn't understand why.

Why is there still no reaction from the imperial high command? Is it because Ning Huahua and the others are too old-fashioned?

So, on that day when no one was watching, Tang San and his companions went to the auction house to sell the hidden weapons he had painstakingly forged in his spare time after arriving at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The appraiser at the auction house gave his concealed weapon a high rating, and the auction price was also very high. That night, he treated his friends to a good meal.

Just when Tang San thought things were about to be done, the matter vanished without a trace, and there was no further news.

Until today, he witnessed the establishment of the Soul Guidance Department, and Ji Jiaojiao's Soul Guidance Armor, shimmering with black light, slapped hard in his face.

Some hidden weapons are designed specifically to break through armor, while others are designed to break through soul power shields. With Tang San's keen eyesight, he could naturally see that the soul guide armor came from the combined protection of soul power and high-strength materials, not even counting the evasion brought by the extreme speed.

Even so, in Ning Huahua's mouth, it was still a half-finished product lacking coherence. Although she was in a sorry state due to her initial slow reaction, she ultimately defeated the terrifying 'monster' with her superb skills.

But what Tang San found most unbelievable was the two black boxes on Ji Jiaojiao's metal skirt, those two things that allowed Ji Jiaojiao to break through to the Soul Saint level speed.

To reach that level, Ji Jiaojiao's Soul Master strength was insufficient. A little imagination revealed that it must have involved soul power compression and re-release, and the materials couldn't be simple. So, he wondered, what if this thing exploded?

If it were to explode, how would its power compare to the Buddha's Wrath Lotus?

When he thought of this, he understood why the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dou Empire were completely indifferent to his hidden weapons. They already possessed far more advanced technology and had even established new departments to promote it. His hidden weapons were perhaps just a dispensable addition, like dessert after a meal.

What Tang San didn't know was that the technology behind this thing came from a technology called 'Fixed-Mount Soul Guidance Cannon,' which was indeed designed for explosions.

Reflecting on my thoughts during the day, I realized that the battle on the Soul Arena was the real clash of ideas.

After Tang San arrived in Douluo Continent, he met Yu Xiaogang. In Yu Xiaogang's theory, the quality of a martial soul has always been absolute.

However, based on the theory of martial souls, starting from level 30, every time a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master obtains a soul ring, an additional feature on their body that resembles a dragon will appear when using their martial soul.

The current state of Yu Tianheng's arms is a transformation of his limbs. Once he reaches level 70, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master will be able to truly transform into a dragon, unleashing extremely terrifying power. He is hailed as the most terrifying power-attack type Soul Master of his level.

His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, once asserted that once Yu Tianheng reached level 70 and possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul True Body, Zhao Wuji, who was also a Soul Saint, would never be a major opponent for Yu Tianheng.

But why is Ning Huahua fighting so hard? How can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda hold its own against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon at the same level? Or rather, how can a support-type character hold its own? How can these things be explained by martial soul theory alone? Ultimately, it all comes back to the fact that he himself wasn't very confident when facing Yu Tianheng, and that he was only a support-type battle soul master at the Soul Saint limit.
