Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"Thank you, Sect Leader Ning!" Qian Shui thanked Ning Feng out of politeness.

Ning Fengzhi's expression was not good, and he simply said, "It was nothing."

Qian Shui waved to her teammates. Although this Elite Tournament was basically a personal show prepared by Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue for themselves, her teammates also participated in it.

Although Qian Shui doesn't care about these things, at this moment they should enjoy the glory they deserve and live up to their years of hard work.

Even though Emperor Xueye was unwilling, he had no choice but to step forward and announce: "The final champion of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is the Martial Soul Team. Congratulations to you."

The seven people stood in a row, all showing varying degrees of pride.

Qian Shui stepped forward and looked at the old emperor's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot. He sighed inwardly at the pitiful state of being unworthy of his position due to his lack of strength and virtue. As a representative, he stepped forward to receive the two ten-thousand-year soul bones personally awarded by Xue Ye.

"You are outstanding. As expected of His Holiness the Pope's disciple, you are so young yet have such strength."

'What does she have to do with Bibi Dong? She's just trying to screw me over!'

Qian Shui remained calm and said, "Your Majesty flatters me."

After receiving the soul bone with its strong aura, Qian Shui showed no interest and tossed it to his friend.

Chapter 84 Monologue

Ning Fengzhi's gaze grew increasingly profound. These were two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. Although both were of the strength attribute, almost all attributes could be compatible with Qian Shui. With such an indifferent attitude, was he really just a 14-year-old boy?

As I said before, I don't care about the water.

This minor student competition has finally come to an end, but another conflict has quietly begun.

'Hmph, don't be ridiculous!'

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and everyone present—every single one of them, without exception, had their imaginations limited by their martial souls!

For the Douluo people, skills can be easily obtained simply by hunting soul beasts. The process is so simple that the whole world overlooks this very simple truth.

Skills can be acquired not only through soul rings and soul bones, but also through self-cultivation and development, although the process is difficult.

But I'm different; I have an absolute advantage in creation.

What makes you think I possess combat power beyond my level?

I have the creativity of the entire planet to back me up. Rather than creating, it's more about knowing that nuclear weapons can be made, so there's no need to gamble, to gamble on the outcome of exploring the unknown, or the possibility of investing in a bottomless pit.

Whether you call it acquisition or plunder, soul rings and soul bones are ultimately external objects. Just like copying homework, you can copy, but simply copying will always leave your mind empty. Without understanding or addressing the underlying issues, you'll only be superficial and doing useless work.

What's even more frightening is the habit, especially when everyone thinks that copying homework will make them stronger, and they all enjoy doing it.

So I didn't just copy; I actually deconstructed all the soul skills I acquired, and then refined, used, and cyclically developed them day after day.

In the end, I not only gained an increase in my soul power level, but my attributes other than soul power also became stronger and stronger, and I could even serve as an off-field support.

So what's the use of just having a martial spirit, just having soul power, just knowing how to use soul skills?

If placed within the Douluo Continent's martial soul cultivation system, it would be the mage-style fighting method used by most soul masters, where soul skills clash.

All of this boils down to who has the higher martial soul talent and who has more and stronger soul skills.

This is the limitation of thinking, the blockage of self-awareness, the information cocoon!

As for those who cultivate things other than martial spirits, the two who became gods are among them. The strongest and most profound applications of the others are nothing more than the Haotian Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique.

Once the limitations of spirit rings and spirit bones are broken, the high-intensity, highly refined attack methods achieved—can this alone be called divine skills?!

While martial spirits are not entirely useless, and the rules governing this world are even quite terrifying, the ease with which power is acquired creates a greenhouse effect.

But it's really good for me; such world rules can actually fix the 'primordial spirit' as a martial soul.

This is undoubtedly a fantastic opportunity. The ability to achieve Nascent Soul and Out-of-Body transformations at such a low level has naturally become another asset for me. Besides, I don't have your preconceived notions.

So if we're going to go all out, what about these students?

Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to participate at all, because I understand that kung fu is a killing technique!

But I don't want to kill anyone, so for me, the competition itself isn't very meaningful, especially since the gap between them and me is so huge.

Ning Fengzhi, you are really smart. A native dared to stake the entire foundation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School just to kill me?

That was decisive and brilliant; it still terrifies me to this day! I was absolutely terrified!

It's such a pity! It's a pity you don't understand!

With your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul alone, you can reach the pinnacle. Why would you care about someone as insignificant as me?

After all, if we look at it differently, a martial spirit can be considered a natal magic weapon, or a magic treasure!

It is a natal magic weapon that does not require nurturing or refining, and even has the potential to grow!

Whether it's a beast spirit, a weapon spirit, or a physical spirit, in the cultivation system, these are all companion magic treasures with growth potential.

They simply do not possess a physical form; their physical existence is dependent on the human body itself.

As is well known among the people of Earth, magical artifacts are not limited to one; they can be obtained from the outside world. However, they are rare and difficult to acquire, such as the Angelic Holy Sword and the Asura Demon Sword.

Under these conditions, support-type Soul Masters have an absolute advantage. As long as they switch to a cultivation system that does not conflict with their Martial Soul cultivation system and complements it, they are essentially given an additional natal magic weapon that can be enhanced at any time, unlike Battle Soul Masters who can only possess a type of combat magic weapon.

So it's a waste of your talents to only be a supporting role!

I also have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so the reason I don't care is because I have twin martial souls!

What level could a fully developed Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, or even a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, possibly reach? It's unimaginable.

Those words were just meant for the elders and retainers of the Spirit Hall. From the moment I learned that I possessed twin spirits, I was no longer willing to prioritize cultivating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After all, the original world's description of Ning Rongrong's support abilities was already extremely exaggerated. You have to know that Ning Rongrong's 100,000-year soul ring was a divinely bestowed soul ring, and it only had one skill. What kind of protective divine light is that? Don't be ridiculous!

So, according to my original logic, I should just cultivate the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda normally?

This isn't just about staying in the Spirit Hall for personal gain; it's because I deeply understand that once I have a strong foundation of power, cultivating the Glazed Tile Pagoda will be the most beneficial!

What if the two soul skills were obtained from hunting a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

What will be the second skill of the Soul Ring of the Glazed Pagoda, the super amplifier?

What level of amplification artifact is the Glazed Pagoda with a full 100,000-year soul ring?

So, Ning Fengzhi, it's a real pity that I was born into the Spirit Hall.

So whose child am I? Does it even matter? Even if I am your biological son, so what?

You were born and raised, but without nurturing, you are destined to become nothing more than a piece of my arsenal.

Being able to be used is already good enough. Although from a purely profit-driven perspective, it's not as beneficial as being from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, being part of the Heavenly Battle Plan means I'll at least make some money.

At least it won't be from Bibi Dong's perspective, where I'll find the gaps and fill in the gaps, defeating them one by one and annihilating them all!

So you should be thankful!

I'm glad my second martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and not something else.

You should be even more glad that I do not devour, otherwise, based on what you have planned and with the power I currently control, in a few days, no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be spared!

As for the Heavenly Dou Empire? Snowy Night? Let the little angel play with the meat on the chopping board.

...

With a wave of his hand, Qian Shui and his group left the Great Soul Arena, leaving behind only a group of high-ranking members with livid faces, and the Heavenly Battle Team members who looked like they had just been defeated.

"Hmph, if this person isn't eliminated, he will surely become a great threat in the future!"

"Your Majesty is right. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has an inescapable duty to handle this matter! We hope Your Majesty will do a good job in cleaning up the mess and ensure that no information leaks out, otherwise neither of us can bear the wrath of the Spirit Hall!"

"Of course, this matter will require more effort from Sect Master Ning."

"Qinghe is my student. My sect is united with the empire. Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

"Haha, I'm relieved to hear Sect Leader Ning say that!"

…………

The moon is bright and the stars are few; it is already late at night.

Qianshui didn't wander around outside the city today.

"Young man, when are you leaving?" Yue Guan appeared at Qian Shui, who was admiring the moon at the top of the Martial Soul Temple.

"Leave? It's better to stay. As long as we're in Tiandou City, they won't be able to make a move."

Qian Shui was both nervous and excited; otherwise, he would have gone to cultivate instead of having the leisure to appreciate the moon.

"This city is like a sieve, it's too leaky. If they want to leave, it's not difficult. We need to give them time to regroup and let them all jump out at once!"

"Oh? You want to establish your authority?"

"You could say that."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"Keep it, it'll be useful!"

Keep it? Is it useful? Yue Guan personally witnessed Qian Shui awaken her martial soul; otherwise, why would he ask another question?

Chapter 85 Attack and Kill

At the beginning of 2635 in the Douluo Calendar, the Spirit Hall group left Heaven Dou City, riding high on their victory in the Elite Tournament.

The impact of this event is even more astonishing than the bigwigs predicted.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. It seemed that the entire Douluo Continent received news of the Haotian Sect's crushing defeat almost overnight.

The victor's sweeping victory against the Heavenly Dou Team, where he single-handedly defeated seven opponents, made him famous throughout the land. Everyone knew that the Spirit Hall had produced an unparalleled genius. The Spirit Hall's prestige soared even higher; the combination of a beautiful pope and a genius disciple added a unique flavor to the legend.

These things are irrelevant to the parties involved. At this very moment, on the Lima Plain, is the Martial Soul Team.

"Is this the battlefield Ning Fengzhi chose?" Looking at the dark clouds and lightning on the horizon, Qian Shui understood.

"A flat plain stretches out before us, with the northwest ocean monsoon blowing unhindered. Choosing this spot in early spring means the traces of battle will be washed away by the wind and rain." Qian Shui sat atop the carriage. Despite the harsh weather and howling winds, a palpable sense of malice still washed over him. "Am I right?"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Killing True Form!" "Seventh Soul Skill, Bone Dragon True Form!"

The enormous ancient dragon and the Seven Kill Sword rushed towards Qian Shui, their sharpness and chilling aura overwhelming. However, Qian Shui remained unmoved, merely looking at Ning Fengzhi, whose expression was serious beneath the Seven Treasures True Body in the distance, and chuckling happily.

As expected, Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo immediately activated his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Dual Polar Stillness Domain!"

The spirit fusion skills used by titled Douluo are extremely powerful, especially these two, which can be described as super control skills.
