Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 143 The Scheme of Using Another's Knife to Kill (Part 1)

Shui Yanyu has just advanced to the title of Douluo, and if nothing unexpected happens, her level will be the same as Mu Xiyue's, both being level 91 titled Douluo.

Huo Lie is a level 95 Title Douluo. If the three of them join forces, they should have the strength to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

After all, all three of them had condensed their first soul core, and they were not practicing ordinary meditation techniques, so their true strength far surpassed that of ordinary titled Douluo of the same level.

Although the difference between each level is significant after level 90, the difference between each level is not actually that great below level 95 when you are a Title Douluo.

With their soul cores and cultivation techniques at their disposal, Mu Xiyue and Shui Yanyu, both at level 91, are likely no weaker than a level 94 Title Douluo, and might even be able to hold their own against level 95 Title Douluos like Ju Gui.

Huo Lie, at level 95, is even stronger than most level 96 Title Douluos who do not have 100,000-year soul rings or have poor soul bone configurations.

With such strength, the three of them would have a very high chance of winning against a 100,000-year-old soul beast if they joined forces, unless the opponent was a "beast prodigy" in the soul beast world, such as a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, a pure-blooded dragon, or a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Yes, this only applies to 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, excluding 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the far north and the ocean.

After all, whether in icy or marine environments, Huo Lie and Mu Xiyue, as fire-type soul masters, would have their strength greatly limited.

Of course, this is based on the current strength of the three. If their strength increases further in a few years, and they encounter a lone 100,000-year-old soul beast, it will definitely be transformed into a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.

"Without the assistance of other top-grade soul bones and without relying on sacrifices, a 100,000-year soul ring is probably still a bit lacking at level 60, but level 70 should be sufficient."

After assessing his physical and mental strength, Mu Yang realized that he was actually not far from being able to withstand a 100,000-year soul ring.

When it comes to where to find 100,000-year-old soul beasts, the first things that come to Mu Yang's mind are the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape and the 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Uh... maybe a certain rabbit could work too.

Xiao Wu possesses quite a few commendable abilities, including teleportation, invincible golden body, and intangibility. These three abilities are all exceptionally effective. If she could create a soul power food with similar effects, it would seem quite good.

No, the seventh soul skill is the True Form of the Martial Soul. Apart from adding a soul ring that is highly compatible with one's own Martial Soul, which can give one's Martial Soul a greater boost, soul masters don't actually have many requirements for the race of the soul beast for the seventh soul ring. As long as the age is right, it doesn't have conflicting attributes.

That's not right either. The abilities of teleportation, invincible golden body, and intangibility are all quite strong. Compared to becoming the seventh soul ring of the Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul, perhaps Xiao Wu is more suitable to become the eighth soul ring, or the first soul ring of the Ice Flame Holy Shadow Martial Soul.

Around noon, the fourth round of the preliminary rounds came to an end.

Since the Blazing Fire Team, the Sky Water Team, and the Divine Wind Team have not yet faced each other, all three teams have maintained an undefeated record.

At this point, a staff member from the organizing committee notified the team leaders of the three teams to draw lots to determine their opponents in the fifth round of the qualifiers the following day.

Not long after, Mu Xiyue, Shui Yanyu, and Feng Zhen returned after drawing lots.

"Mom, who are we playing against tomorrow?"

Huo Wu asked Mu Xiyue.

"It's Shrek Academy."

Mu Xiyue said, not caring much.

Although the Shrek team performed well, their strength was undoubtedly far inferior to that of their own Blazing Fire team, and Mu Xiyue didn't take them seriously.

Huo Wushuang clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk~, it seems this little dark horse is going to fail."

Shrek Academy?

Upon hearing that tomorrow's opponent would be Shrek Academy, Mu Yang couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Shrek students in the distance from the stands.

Coincidentally, when Mu Yang looked at the Shrek Academy group, he learned that their opponent the next day would be Tang San from Blazing Fire Academy, and they also turned their attention to Mu Yang.

How should we humiliate the Great Buddha Tang tomorrow?

Meeting Tang San's gaze, Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

"Uh... wait, I was only thinking about tormenting Tang Buddha? That shouldn't be happening, that's so wrong!"

Mu Yang silently repented.

Tang Buddha is a potential future rival of his; it's not enough to just humiliate him, he should be able to destroy him.

Actually, defeating Tang San wasn't difficult; the real challenge lay in dealing with Tang Hao.

However, Tang Hao's problem is not entirely unsolvable.

Mu Yang admitted that Tang Hao's strength was indeed formidable. Back then, as soon as he advanced to the Title Douluo level, he easily defeated three Title Douluos, including Qian Xunji, who was at level 95.

But that was Tang Hao at his peak. Although so many years have passed, Tang Hao's soul power level is now even higher than it was back then.

According to the original work, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tang Hao should have already cultivated to the level 95 Title Douluo by now.

In reality, Tang Hao's upper limit of strength actually decreased instead of increased.

In his prime, Tang Hao dared to detonate all nine of his spirit rings at once, but now, with his hidden injuries, he absolutely dares not do that again. Otherwise, if his spirit rings explode, Tang Hao will surely die from his body exploding.

Tang Hao, who was severely injured at level 95 and dared not use his ring, seemed to be able to defeat his three strong allies.

Since our three strongest players can defeat Tang Hao, why not crush Tang Buddha on the field tomorrow and completely eliminate this second-generation Sea God from the original work?

Although defeating an opponent in the competition would be a serious violation of the rules of the Soul Master Competition and would result in disqualification, it doesn't matter. It's just the Soul Master Competition; if you don't want to participate, you don't have to.

If he could defeat Tang Buddha and eliminate his future enemy, Mu Yang wouldn't care even if the prize for winning the Soul Master Competition was a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

As for bearing the corresponding losses? He didn't believe Flander would dare to cause trouble for Blazing Academy!

Just like Ning Rongrong said in the original work, "He's just a minor Soul Saint." If it comes down to fists, Flander can't beat him even when he's wearing the Ice Flame Battle Armor!

"No, we can't be so direct and brutal. After all, if Tang Hao really wanted to kill me, my frail body couldn't withstand a single blow from him. We need to use a proxy to kill him. Besides, Tang Buddha's backers aren't limited to Tang Hao alone."

As he pondered, Mu Yang considered these two concerns and abandoned his plan to "accidentally" defeat Tang San on the arena the next day.

Their three strongest members were no weaker than the heavily injured Tang Hao, and theoretically even stronger, but they couldn't guarantee they could protect him completely.

After all, if he were to defeat Tang San on the field, and Tang Hao happened to be watching from the shadows, he would definitely kill him immediately to avenge his son.

At that moment, Huo Lie and the other two were caught off guard and might not have been able to react in time, unless Mu Yang had communicated with them beforehand.

But he couldn't possibly tell Huo Lie and the other two in advance, "Tomorrow I'm going to crush Tang San of Shrek Academy on the field, and Tang Hao will make a move. You guys have to stop Tang Hao, right?"
