Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

The following day, Feng Zaixing, who had practiced the modified version of the Xuan Tian Gong overnight, was in high spirits and walked out of the Forging Association headquarters with Mu Ye.

"Teacher, there are many ancient trees in Heaven Dou City, including some that are ten or even a hundred years old. Why haven't they turned into soul beasts?"

Feng Zaixing looked around, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Tian Dou City was once the capital of the Tian Dou Empire and the Tian Hun Empire. It has a strong ancient style, and you can see many ancient buildings as you walk around.

Because of official regulations, there are no buildings in the entire city that exceed fifty meters in height, but there are some ancient trees that are over a hundred meters tall.

"They didn't absorb soul power, so of course they're not soul beasts. Otherwise, wouldn't the Star Dou Great Forest have been teeming with plant-type soul beasts?"

Makino shook his head and pointed to the Spirit Transmission Tower in the distance, which was neither too high nor too low, and was exactly fifty meters tall:

"Once you enter the Spirit Transmission Tower and fuse your soul with it, we'll send you to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform. Don't you like sparring with your senior brother and studying ancient soul beast data? This time, we'll let you experience it for yourself."

"The initial Spirit Ascension Platform is limited to the peak of the third ring. Wouldn't it be a huge disadvantage for me to go in with my current cultivation level? There are thousand-year-old soul beasts there," Feng Zaixing said, spreading his hands.

"Not just anyone can do it. When were you ever just anyone? Aren't you quite adept at using that hammer and short sword?"

Mu Ye could tell at a glance that Feng Zaixing was not being sincere, and he also knew that this second disciple fought with his senior brother all day long and had extraordinary combat power, so he said:

"There just so happens that a genius is also going to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform this time. I spoke with someone and asked him to help you get used to it."

"As long as we don't encounter any particularly powerful thousand-year-old soul beasts, nothing will happen."

"That's good. May I ask which brother you are? Are you a member of the legendary list of young geniuses?" Feng Zaixing asked half-jokingly.

Hopefully, this guy has a strong will to live; he's not exactly a model student.

"That's right, he's ranked tenth, and he comes from an ancient sect."

Makino glanced at Feng Zaixing and casually asked:

"The Young Genius Ranking specifically includes the most outstanding geniuses on the mainland under the age of eighteen. We've set a goal for you: reach the top before you turn fifteen. Are you confident?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Zaixing's eyelids twitched. This list was no lucky thing; the people on the list in the original work were all clowns.

"Forget it, that list is just a joke. If Senior Brother were to make a move, he could turn the top spot into a pig's head in three punches," Feng Zaixing hurriedly shook his head.

"That's right, but don't let anyone hear you say that," Makino said with a smile.

This experience made Feng Zaixing secretly sigh that there are indeed countermeasures to policies. Tiandou City does not allow buildings with a ground height of more than fifty meters, so the Chuanling Tower, which is used to building towering towers, dug downwards.

However, it is still slightly inferior to the Tang Clan. That group of people dug out 500 meters underground in Tian Dou City to build an armory. The buildings on the surface of Tian Dou City retain their ancient style, while the underground is full of cutting-edge technology.

After exiting the elevator, the two staff members left on their own. There was no one on the 101st floor below ground, only soul-guiding facilities showcasing the pinnacle of the Spirit Pagoda's technology.

Mu Ye smiled slightly and looked around, saying, "Uncle-Master, aren't you going to show yourself? Come and meet our junior."

"Haha, Xiao Mu, your cultivation hasn't improved, but your disciple is quite good."

An aged echo resounded from the void, and a slender old man with a clear and sharp face silently emerged from the void, his bright eyes shining with extraordinary spirit.

After making a sarcastic remark about Mu Ye, the old man gave Feng Zaixing a very kind smile and said:

"With over 300 points of spiritual power and the divine attribute, no wonder Komaki said he could prepare a thousand-year-old soul."

"Disciple Feng Zaixing greets Grandmaster Han."

Feng Zaixing bowed to the senior from the sect he was meeting for the first time, his voice sincere.

The old man in front of me is named Han Tianyi, also known as Huannao. He was a top genius of the previous generation of the Body Sect. He joined the Spirit Pagoda because of the great favor of a Limit Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda, but he still maintains a very good relationship with the Body Sect. He even went through Mu Ye's connections to create his four-word battle armor.

Feng Zaixing had heard Aruheng say that he was able to obtain top-tier soul spirits from the Spirit Pagoda and still cultivate in a lowly manner because of Aruheng's help.

He's much more reliable than Hu Jie, who left the Body Sect and joined the Tang Sect because of relationship problems; after all, they're still family.

"Not bad, not bad, a truly promising young man. It's a pity he didn't cultivate innate secret techniques from a young age."

Han Tianyi smiled and nodded, saying, "Your talent in mental power is exceptional. You can come to me to learn when you have time. I can barely be considered a grandmaster."

"Definitely, definitely."

Feng Zaixing smiled and agreed. With the amplification of the four-word battle armor, Han Tianyi's spiritual power was infinitely close to the Divine Origin Realm, so there must be a lot of experience to learn.

"Hey, old man Han, don't get off topic. I am the sect master of the Body Sect and I have the ability to teach my own disciples."

Mu Ye felt increasingly uncomfortable seeing Han Tianyi trying to get closer to him, and urged:

"Hurry up and bring out the natural spirits, don't bother with those artificial ones, we don't care for them."

The spirits of the Spirit Pagoda can be divided into two types: artificial and natural. The former is made by extracting some of the genes of spirit beasts, while the latter is made from real spirit beasts and is far stronger than the former, but it is rare. Most spirit masters can only use the former.

The soul skills gained from artificial soul spirits are inferior to those obtained by directly hunting soul beasts, resulting in the average strength of soul masters in this era being lower than before. Mu Ye absolutely does not want his disciples to lose at the starting line.

"Don't worry, I've selected only the top-quality ones, and one of them was even pre-ordered."

Han Tianyi smiled slightly and operated the soul guidance facility. Three soul guidance light pillars immediately rose from the ground, with their species and age marked on their surfaces.

Makino's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's quite good."

The Golden Earth Dragon King, a thousand-year-old soul with twelve hundred years of cultivation, is the overlord of the Earth Dragon Clan. He possesses a rich bloodline of the Light Dragon Clan and his strength rivals that of some true dragons.

A sacred unicorn with a hundred-year soul spirit and nine hundred years of cultivation, an extremely rare sacred attribute soul spirit with excellent strength and speed.

The Heavenly Dragon Horse, a hundred-year-old soul spirit with six hundred years of cultivation, possesses an extremely pure Holy Dragon vein of Light. Its kin once belonged to the soul spirit of Thunderbolt Beibei, the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils. Soul masters of the Light Dragon Clan should not miss it.

Seeing the Heavenly Dragon Horse's demise, Feng Zaixing's lips twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself, "What's so great about a 20,000-year-old Heavenly Dragon Horse soul?" and asked:

"Grandmaster Uncle, are there any spirits stronger than the Sacred Unicorn?"

Of the three spirits, the first and third are immediately eliminated. Having the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light is not an advantage in this era, but rather a trap.

The Holy Dragon Martial Soul, which dominated the previous era, is still exerting its power in this era. There are young geniuses as well as older generation Limit Douluos, and the inheritance is orderly.

Unfortunately, regardless of age, when faced with the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, they can only kneel and sing "Conquer," their bloodlines suppressed and they are all doomed.

The sacred unicorn, lacking dragon blood, would not be suppressed, but it fell short of Feng Zaixing's expectations.

Han Tianyi said in surprise, "You didn't even like any of them? Child, you have very high standards. The Heavenly Dragon Horse Soul was reserved by the Bright Dragon Family a year in advance."

"Your standards are a bit too high," Feng Zaixing said with an awkward smile, then added seriously:

"I read in a book that in the history of the Spirit Pagoda, there were some souls with extremely powerful bloodlines who refused to be absorbed by humans, and they were called Unyielding Souls. Could you help me find them, Grandmaster Uncle?"
