Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

'Oh? This is getting interesting…'

Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to replenish my soul power, but I sensed an abnormal fluctuation in my soul power.

"What kind of skill is that? Why don't you use a soul skill?"

"Bajiquan and Taiji." Qian Shui struck a Taiji starting stance; those were the only moves he remembered. "You guys still use the Chaotic Cloak, right? Come on, let's continue! I'm here to keep you company to the end!"

A song resonates, the performer on stage may be unintentional, but the audience is filled with their own thoughts. Everyone has a story in their heart, and the right lyrics and music will naturally touch their hearts, especially in this culturally barren world.

Qian Renxue propped her head up, looking down at Qian Shui and the other two. To her, this was the most moving scene; from her perspective, this was a song Qian Shui had written for her and her own experiences.

"Since you mentioned Chaotic Cloak, watch out over there, Tang Hu!"

"it is good!"

"Haotian Hammer, random cloak!"

The double chaotic cloak appeared again, but this time Qian Shui did not fight back. Instead, she dodged at lightning speed while using her cultivation technique to absorb the surrounding soul power.

Chen Xin was the first to sense something was wrong. 'This kid, he's breaking through to level 50!'

Ning Fengzhi also noticed something amiss at the same time, "A breakthrough in the heat of battle? Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, the genius of the Spirit Hall is indeed formidable!"

"Sect Master Ning is too polite."

Moon Gate and Ghostly Demon are not much better; breaking through in the heat of battle is unheard of, yet it actually happened, but the top will not soften.

Soul power surged wildly off the field, three different forces intertwined, and the unparalleled attack power of the Clear Sky Hammer grew stronger and stronger as the Chaotic Cloak continued to accumulate, until finally!

"Nine times nine equals one!" "Nine times nine equals one!"

Tang Meng and Tang Hu's final blows arrived one after the other, differing only slightly in angle, but they blocked most of the path, making it almost a guaranteed kill.

Different stances lead to different mindsets. While their own side has nothing to worry about, the Heavenly Dou faction is overjoyed. If a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect were to kill Qian Shui, that would be perfect!

The people in the arena, however, were only thinking about the techniques involved, thinking, "Only an idiot would try to take that hit!"

Qian Shui was extremely excited at this moment; he was finally getting to experience the protagonist's treatment of breaking through in the heat of battle. Just as the final attack of the Haotian Hammer arrived, his soul power compressed to form a jet of air, propelling his entire body to a strange, sideways movement.

'Afterimage?!'

Those in the arena who could clearly see this moment gasped in astonishment. High-level soul masters can compress soul power and activate it, but combining them is incredibly difficult to comprehend.

Not to mention the interaction of forces and the effect of jet airflow, no one would bother to study or learn this simple operation itself.

"Second Soul Skill, Fox's Leap of Concealment."

Without hesitation, Qian Shui activated his soul skill, which required no careful calculation. He leaped high into the air, even higher than Chen Xin's position, and still had time to wave and greet Chen Xin.

The moment he leaped, two massive hammers fell, the combined force of eighty-one blows creating a devastating impact that shattered the enormous battle arena.

Meanwhile, Qian Shui, having benefited from the tempering of the double Chaotic Cloak, successfully broke through level 50.

Chen Xin suppressed the urge to kill him with a single sword strike and remained silent, while Qian Shui also felt it was time to end the match.

"First Soul Skill, Netherworld Possession. Third Soul Skill, Terror Claw Breaking Army. Fourth Soul Skill!" Qian Shui completed his charge in mid-air, "Flying Swirling Pig Technique! Take this spinning flying kick from the sky!"

Aiming between the two, the opponent, exhausted after the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique ended, couldn't dodge in time. They watched helplessly as Thousand Water Strike slammed into the Soul Fighting Platform, sending them flying.

The Battle Arena, which was originally cracked inch by inch like a spider web due to the return of the Clear Sky Hammer to its original state, was completely destroyed, and the shattered stones raised a huge amount of dust.

"Damn! My legs are numb!"

"Sword Douluo, do you wish to continue?"

Looking at the Tang brothers, Tang Meng and Tang Hu, whose clothes were tattered and who had no serious injuries but had almost exhausted all their soul power and physical strength and were barely able to move, Chen Xin remained silent.

This result left a deep shock on his mind—the Haotian Sect, which on the surface had an overwhelming advantage, had been defeated!

Since Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji (on the surface) and created a legend, the name 'Haotian' has held an unshakable and absolute position as the number one weapon spirit in the world in the hearts of everyone in the Douluo Continent, where the strong are respected.

But today, a new generation of geniuses from the Spirit Hall easily shattered the previous myth and forged a new legend—despite a difference of one whole realm, they defeated two disciples of the Clear Sky Sect with absolute overwhelming force!

Given this outcome, if Chen Xin hadn't held back, he wouldn't have been able to save either of them in time, and one of them would undoubtedly have died.

In such a situation, no matter how biased he may be, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Xin had no choice but to announce the result of the match.

"I hereby announce that the champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament Finals is the Martial Soul Team! Congratulations!"

Chapter 83 The Elite Tournament That Ended

With Chen Xin's announcement, the champion of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was born. Ignoring Emperor Xue Ye's extremely dark expression, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward.

"Go." With a soft shout, Ning Fengzhi released the true form of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's spirit.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in its true form radiated brilliant light, displaying extraordinary magnificence. Several beams of light surged forth, empowering the three people present.

'Is this the 70% increase from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?'

Feeling the healing and the increase in soul power, Qian Shui was astonished. His amplification-type soul skills were at most 10% or 20%, which already felt very strong. However, judging from the amplification released by Ning Fengzhi, it was indeed reasonable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to be limited to the seventh floor.

There's no other reason than that the increase is too terrifying. If it's a nine-ring item, the increase will reach 90%. Just doubling the blue bar is already terrifying, not to mention other aspects.

To be honest, no matter how strong a Soul Master is, Qian Shui doesn't take them seriously. He still holds the same view: support is the strongest. This isn't just to fool Chen Sha; it's the truth!

To put it another way, like in the novel *Covering the Sky*, it would be a method to break through the Eight Forbidden Zones or even the Divine Forbidden Zones, a secret technique at the level of the Nine Secrets! Even the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of the Dou Qi Continent doesn't have this level of amplification.

Therefore, Qian Shui looked at Ning Fengzhi with unusual seriousness. If it weren't for the flaws in the cultivation system of Douluo Continent, it's possible that this person would have reached the pinnacle.

Chen Xin, being the closest to him, naturally felt Qian Shui's hostility towards Ning Fengzhi most clearly.

"Kid, don't get any funny ideas. Besides, Feng Zhi is a support-type Soul Master, not a battle-type Soul Master like you." Chen Xin watched the battle between Qian Shui and the two Hammer Brothers and he knew very well that they didn't use Soul Skills to attack each other much, but rather other attack methods.

Qian Shui, in particular, has three out of his four soul powers that are amplification-type, which clearly explains his hostility towards Ning Fengzhi.

Regardless of any problems with this cultivation method, each school has its own secret techniques, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's method of controlling distraction. However, from Chen Xin's perspective, the difference in soul power level is the real and insurmountable obstacle in front of him.

"Just a friendly reminder: Soul Power is the foundation. All those boring, flashy skills of yours are meaningless at the Title level!"

Chen Xin wasn't saying this to the Spirit Hall side, but to his own people.

After all, Qian Shui's behavior was too assertive and did not follow the proper Soul Master cultivation system. If left to his own devices, his actions would influence an entire era because of the legends he created.

Anyway, Qian Shui is bound to die, so it doesn't matter if I talk about things beyond the title.

"No wonder your father was so easily defeated by the Grand Elder, now I understand."

Qian Shui doesn't care about your fancy and sarcastic remarks. Since you brought up the issue of cultivation, he will naturally think about it himself.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Xin was instead provoked by Qian Shui's words, and the sharp aura emanating from Sword Douluo pressed down on Qian Shui.

"I witnessed that battle, and to be honest, it ended very quickly."

"Oh?"

"I also use a sword, as Sword Douluo should know. That's why I find that battle unbelievable every time I think back on it."

"What's so incredible about it? My father is level 98, while Qian Daoliu is level 99. This is the fundamental impact of the difference in soul power."

"If you train like this, even if you're both level 99, do you think your father could defeat the Grand Elder? You're purely focused on soul power, which is basically just focusing on the martial soul. Even a fool could guess that the Seven Kill Sword is inferior to the Six-Winged Angel martial soul in terms of quality. If that's the case, then what makes the Clear Sky Sect so special? And what makes Tang Hao so special? That the Clear Sky Hammer is superior to the Angel martial soul?"

Upon hearing Qian Shui's words, the first person to be displeased was not Chen Xin, but rather Qian Renxue. It was a fact that Qian Daoliu could not defeat Tang Chen, and it was also a fact that Qian Xunji had died at Tang Hao's hands.

"Incredible! Your strength is already so outstanding, but your theoretical research is also so profound."

Ning Fengzhi naturally understood what the old man and the young man were arguing about, but he still had to consider Chen Xin's feelings.

"Sect Leader Ning, you are too kind. Today I have truly witnessed the brilliance of the world's best support. It is my honor!"

Ning Fengzhi felt a pang of regret. Judging from Qian Shui's performance, his intelligence, temperament, talent, and strength were all top-notch. The only thing that wasn't a deficiency was his lack of killing intent and his unwillingness to fight. No wonder the Spirit Hall pushed him to the forefront to face all the conflicts in the outside world.

However, Ning Fengzhi was secretly relieved that Qian Shui was weak-willed; otherwise, his foolish son might have been in danger. Qian Shui's martial soul was too strange; if something unexpected had happened, how many members of the Heaven Dou Team could have escaped?

Therefore, this person must not be allowed to grow up, otherwise everyone standing on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall will be crushed by him alone, with no chance to breathe.

These are precisely the things Qian Shui himself despises. He just wants to live a peaceful life, do what he wants, and not be affected by future wars. He has no desire to oppress you all. Ultimately, what does Douluo Continent have to do with him, a transmigrator from Earth?

But these people united to try and kill him. Qian Shui accepted it all; the protagonist's treatment was rare and exciting, not to mention rare and thrilling.

……

Let's go back to the night that Light Feather Douluo appeared.

"Xiao Shui, what do you want to do?" Qian Renxue didn't want to use her brain at all when Qian Shui was around. Anyway, she wasn't cut out for it, so she might as well leave it to the smart people to figure out.

"What to do? Just let it be?" Qian Shui shrugged. With their overall strength overwhelming, what else was there to consider?

"Xiao Shui!"

"Alright, alright, what's the rush... All five of you are here!"

Qian Shui calmed down Qian Renxue, who was standing with her hands on her hips and bristling with anger, and pointed to the innocent-looking young boy, Guangling Douluo.

"It's actually very simple. They don't dare let me die in Heaven Dou City or on the arena. Even if I'm clean, it's still on their own turf. No matter how peaceful the Spirit Hall is, they will inevitably blame them for not protecting me properly, and that's something they can't afford. They don't want me to die in their mansion!"

Qian Shui calmly shrugged and continued his analysis: "Based on our available cards, the fact that Ju and Gui are both Super Douluo capable of using Martial Soul Fusion Techniques is already the highest-level lineup they can imagine."

Such a trump card is very difficult to uncover, so they almost gathered all the high-end combat power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, along with some of the Soul Douluos from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, to jointly annihilate me. Their target was not me, but the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos behind me; they were bundled together with me and put on the kill list.

The reason is that the entire group from the Spirit Hall must be made to disappear without a trace, so they can sever all ties and push the blame onto the Clear Sky Sect, thus solving everything. Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall's loss of two Super Douluo will be entirely attributed to the Clear Sky Sect, with whom we are now sworn enemies.

Do you agree or disagree?

"Yes, that's exactly what Ning Fengzhi arranged."

"This was almost a perfect trap. If you hadn't infiltrated their ranks, even if the Five Elders had come, I might not have had any hope of survival."

Qian Shui was quite helpless. The Polar Stillness Domain could only restrain the two Super Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at most, and it couldn't do anything about the others. If it were an ambush that could kill in one strike, even the Light Feather Douluo wouldn't be able to react in time.

"Young man, are you underestimating me?" The old man, who had traveled a long way, was displeased by this remark.

"Senior Guangling, can you block an arrow that has already hit the target?"

"What's the point of blocking it when it's already hit?"

"The principle is the same. Without Xiaoxue, if you were to come, you would surely be hiding in the shadows, and I alone could come up with a hundred ways to kill myself before you could come to my rescue!"

"Xiao Shui, could you use a different analogy...?"

……

Ning Fengzhi withdrew his weapon spirit form, and the soul power of the three people on the field also recovered somewhat.

The losers are eliminated, and the winners enjoy the glory.
