Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Sword, has become its scabbard.

Chapter 252 Choosing Sides

"Rongrong, it's you back! Your strength!" Chen Xin knew that only Soul Masters with spatial attributes and those with dual Soul Cores could use spatial power like this.

Although Chen Xin was shocked by the appearance of Ning Rongrong and the others, what surprised him even more was that he could no longer see through Ning Rongrong's soul power level.

If Rongrong's strength has surpassed mine, then why can't I, who now possesses a soul core and has reached level 97, see through her?

But how could that be? When she left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was only a Seven-Ring Soul Saint. How could she have improved so much in such a short time!

"Hehe! Grandpa Sword, you're right, I'm already a Title Douluo!" Ning Rongrong said as she flew towards the ground. Seeing this, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi immediately confirmed that flying through the air was indeed an ability only Title Douluos possessed. "Ling and Wei'er, Dad, Grandpa Sword, as you know, they've come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to stay for a while." Ning Rongrong tugged at Ling and Wei'er, who were with her.

"Welcome to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Ning Fengzhi was excited to hear this, but his expression was somewhat serious.

Clearly, this spatial rift was triggered by one of these two people. Ning Rongrong's advancement to Title Douluo did indeed shock Ning Fengzhi, but he also knew that building dual soul cores and reaching level 99 was definitely not something Ning Rongrong could do at her current level.

Although these two are about the same age as Ning Rongrong, they truly possess the ability; Ling and Wei'er's strength and achievements are simply too formidable.

"Seniors, I'll be inconveniencing you for a while."

"No disturbance, no disturbance." Ning Fengzhi watched as the spatial rift in the sky was restored under Ling's casual control. Ling's strength had indeed reached the unparalleled realm!

Such a young peerless Douluo!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a history spanning countless years, yet there has never been any record of such a thing. Perhaps they really are able to ascend to the realm of gods.

"Ding Quan didn't come?" Chen Xin came back to her senses, glanced at Ning Rongrong and Ling Wei, and asked casually.

"He has other matters to attend to." Ding Quan did not come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on this trip, but instead went to Tianshui City with Shui Bing'er.

"Dad, you didn't look well earlier, is something wrong? Tell me?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The Spirit Hall has established the Spirit Empire, and more than ten Title Douluos have emerged. Now, it has launched a war with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Although the scale of the war is not large, the number of Spirit Masters in the Spirit Empire is too large, and their strength is extremely powerful. The two original empires can only barely resist the offensive of the Spirit Empire!"

Ning Fengzhi also found it strange that the Spirit Hall actually had such a powerful army of spirit masters. Weren't these spirit masters supposed to belong to the two great empires? Now that the Spirit Hall had just established its nation, many spirit masters had joined the Spirit Empire.

Fortunately, both empires have many nobles, and their strength is not weak. The number of powerful Soul Masters in the two empires is still greater.

However, there is a fatal problem.

"The Spirit Hall possesses top-tier experts. If those experts were to mobilize, the two great empires would find it difficult to resist." Ling observed Ning Fengzhi's expression and noticed his gaze towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family lacked precisely this kind of power. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which had close ties with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, had two Super Douluo. No, now there were two more ordinary Title Douluo. Ling had already sensed the auras of several Title Douluo within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. However, the strength of these two ordinary Title Douluo was too ordinary. Ling was well aware of the Spirit Hall's strength and knew they posed no threat to the Spirit Hall.

"Exactly!"

"That's not surprising. Apart from those from sects, most Soul Masters on the continent have received favors from the Spirit Hall to some extent." Ling said calmly. The Spirit Hall awakens Martial Souls for ordinary people free of charge. Although it has taken steps to recruit geniuses, it gives ordinary people hope. Moreover, after becoming a Soul Master, one can receive Gold Soul Coins from the Spirit Hall for free.

This money came from the two great empires. The Spirit Hall's distribution of it was seen as an attempt to win over the hearts and minds of the people. But if it weren't for the Spirit Hall, these soul masters wouldn't have been able to receive these gold soul coins.

Although these Soul Masters are not particularly strong, their numbers are large, and with such a large number, it is always possible to find a genius with great talent among them.

The titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall are mostly from these geniuses. It seems that the titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall have not yet formed families, and not many people possess their martial spirits.

"Yes, there are too many powerful people in the Spirit Hall." Ning Fengzhi knew the Spirit Hall quite well. There were probably more than thirty Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall now, and there were probably more than a handful of them who were stronger than Chen Xin, who had now broken through to level 97 in spirit power.

Qian Daoliu, the former adjudication elder of the Spirit Hall, and the current adjudication elder of the Spirit Hall, the six-winged angel spirit master who fought against Ling and possessed two 100,000-year spirit rings, plus Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Not long ago, something strange happened at the Spirit Hall: a top expert broke through to the next level, and the spirit power seemed to come from Golden Crocodile Douluo!

If a powerhouse with a soul power level of 98 breaks through again, then his current realm is self-evident.

The pinnacle of Soul Masters: Level 99!

Chen Xin had said that he was no match for these four individuals, and the Spirit Hall even had a Hall of Worship. Even so, the Spirit Hall's strength was enough to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School feel despair.

"It doesn't matter how many powerful people the Spirit Hall has," Ning Rongrong said with a smile, then looked at Ling and Wei'er.

"Rongrong, what level is your soul power now?"

"Hehe, level 95."

"real!"

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, suppressing the shock in their hearts. They had actually reached level ninety-five, the realm of a Super Douluo!

At her current age, it doesn't seem like it would be difficult for her to reach the pinnacle of skill in the future.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should not participate in the war between the Spirit Empire and the two great empires. What follows may not be a battle between spirit masters." Ning Rongrong's tone suddenly became heavy, suppressing Ning Fengzhi's excitement.

"Is it not a battle between Soul Masters?" Ning Fengzhi thought of a possibility.

"The Spirit Hall contains a successor to a god! He will become a god soon!"

"God!" Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin understood. They already knew that there was a divine succession within the Spirit Hall.

However, seeing that Ling and Wei'er didn't seem to care much, Ning Rongrong turned her gaze to the two of them. Could it be that they, too, had already...

Ding Quan looked down at Tianshui City, where he noticed the presence of an army.

Based on what I've seen along the way, it seems that the Heavenly Dou Empire is currently raising an army.

The pressure that the Martial Soul Empire is exerting on the Heaven Dou Empire seems to be immense.

Considering the strength of the Spirit Hall, this situation is understandable. Ding Quan had no intention of participating in the war of the Spirit Empire. Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall launched the war with selfish motives, but unifying the Douluo Continent was not necessarily a bad thing.

Moreover, Bibi Dong may have had other reasons for launching the war. Bibi Dong was determined to destroy the angel race, but what she did was not really related to that.

If she wanted to destroy the angel race, she could easily do so by becoming a god.

Could it be that waging war was also the key to her becoming a god? Rakshasa was indeed a god of slaughter.

"Izumi, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect to see an army in Tianshui City."

"But those are people from the city lord's mansion, so it's not too surprising."

"People from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"The city lord of Tianshui City is a nobleman of the Tiandou Empire. He has a long lineage and great strength. They have their own guards, but this is the first time I've seen such a large-scale mobilization." Shui Bing'er looked at the patrol team in Tianshui City with some surprise.

"Is that so?"

Ding Quan realized that the city lords of the Heavenly Dou Empire were basically all nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Tianshui City is a well-known city in the Tiandou Empire; otherwise, Tianshui Academy, one of the top academies in the empire, wouldn't have been built here.

"Let's go. I haven't been home in a long time, and I don't know how things are at home." Shui Bing'er said, leading Ding Quan towards a corner of Tianshui City.

The Shui family is a fairly powerful family of Soul Masters. Their inherited Martial Soul is the Water-attribute Spirit Kite, which is a decent high-level Martial Soul.

The family previously had several Soul Saint level experts, making it a powerful family in the Heaven Dou Empire. Now, with the emergence of a Soul Douluo within the family, it has become the strongest family in Tianshui City.

An eight-ring Soul Douluo is already a top-tier existence on the continent, after all, the number of Title Douluos known on the continent was only a handful.

"The Martial Soul Empire is now at war with the Heaven Dou Empire, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion have just arrived again. Are we really going to get involved in this war?" At this moment, a woman on the main seat spoke up, looking at the older people around her, all of whom were Soul Saints.

This woman is the dean of Tianshui Academy, and is currently the only Soul Douluo in the Shui family, as well as the strongest.

"The Spirit Hall is too powerful. Wars between empires are not something a family like ours can participate in, especially with so many titled experts in the Spirit Hall."

"However, many members of the family have become nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire." For a family to develop in the Heaven Dou Empire, becoming a noble of the Heaven Dou Empire is essential, and the conditions for becoming a noble of the Heaven Dou Empire are too simple.

"You all know that the Spirit Hall has recently produced more than ten Title Douluos. Those are Title Douluos! It seems that the Heaven Dou Empire doesn't have any. These more than ten Title Douluos are just newly appearing. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School knows the Spirit Hall very well. Even Ning Fengzhi hasn't made a statement, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't dare to participate. We certainly don't have the ability to participate!" An old man said in a low voice. The combined Title Douluos of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires are not even a fraction of those of the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, the dozen or so Title Douluos who appeared were all unknown figures, while decades ago, the Spirit Hall also had many renowned figures. They simply faded into obscurity over time, but many of those powerful figures are certainly still alive. After all, even the powerful figure Golden Crocodile, who was active a hundred years ago, is still alive. No one knows exactly how long a Title Douluo can live.

"Indeed, the announcement by the Spirit Hall of more than ten Title Douluos some time ago may well be a warning to the sects and families in the two great empires!" Another Soul Saint thought of this possibility, otherwise why would the Spirit Empire be established directly after more than ten Title Douluos appeared?

"It might be difficult for a Title Douluo to deal with a powerful army, but to deal with a family, well..." Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it wouldn't be difficult for a Title Douluo to wipe out a family without a Title Douluo, especially if there is more than one Title Douluo.

"If a titled Douluo appears in the family, they can protect themselves and won't have to depend on the Heaven Dou Empire."

""

"A Title Douluo? It seems there really is one in the family!" Dean Tianshui knew what the elders were thinking. With a Title Douluo in the family, the Heaven Dou Empire, which had no Title Douluos, posed no threat to the family. As for the Spirit Empire, the family could simply avoid getting involved in the war between the two.

"You mean Bing'er? It's a pity we don't know where she is now." An old man showed a look of relief. Shui Bing'er, a genius whose martial soul mutated into an ice phoenix, showed extremely strong talent at a very young age. She broke through to the Soul Master level at the age of fifteen. She was indeed the most likely person in the family to break through to the Title Douluo level.

The elders were aware of her current strength. She had already demonstrated the strength of a Soul Douluo when she was in Binhai City, even though she was only at the Soul Emperor level at that time.

However, she went with those monsters, and no one knows what level of strength she has reached at this time.

Bang!

The door was kicked open instantly, and a middle-aged man rushed in.

"Bing'er, she's back!" The elders were about to speak when they heard the man's voice and suddenly stood up.

"She's back?"

"That's right, and she flew back!" The man was equally excited, but seeing the indifferent expressions of the others, he said, "She flew back out of thin air without releasing her martial spirit. I didn't sense any soul power from her."

"Flying through the air, a Titled Douluo!"

"Is she accompanied by anyone?"

"There is one, the one you asked us to keep an eye on, Elder."

It was him! Dean Tianshui's expression brightened with joy. He knew who the visitor was—the one who had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Bing'er. If there were no unexpected circumstances, opposite-sex individuals with Martial Soul Fusion Skills would almost always end up as husband and wife.

"It seems we don't need to worry too much now!" Dean Tianshui suddenly relaxed. As the strongest member of the family, she was under considerable pressure, especially since she had only recently advanced to the Soul Douluo level.

At this moment, in the Shui family's main hall.

A lively young woman looked at Ding Quan curiously, her eyes darting between Ding Quan and Shui Bing'er.

"Yue'er! Don't be rude." Shui Cheng thought of his daughter flying back out of thin air just now. His daughter was actually a Title Douluo!

He also knew Ding Quan's identity; he was the one who had a martial soul fusion skill with Shui Bing'er. Although he was Bing'er's father, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in the face of a titled Douluo.
