Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 178 Future Planning (Part 2)

As for what Tang San said in the original work, Yu Xiaogang told him that any Soul Master who awakens the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has an innate Soul Power of Level 20. Just listen to this and don't take it seriously.

If every member of the Angel Family had innate level 20 soul power, then the Douluo Continent would have been ruled by the Qian family long ago.

Moreover, if Qian Xunji, who was over sixty years old back then, had this talent, how could he have been defeated by Tang Hao?

He doesn't even know that a ten-thousand-year soul ring contains the remnant soul of a soul beast, what does Yu Xiaogang know!

The position of the Angel God is reserved for no outsiders, but the positions of the Asura God and the Sea God can be inherited by Soul Masters who originally had no connection with the two deities.

Although the original work did not elaborate, in Mu Yang's view, the Killing God Domain is the ticket to unlock the Asura God Trial; and to inherit the Sea God's position, putting aside everything else, he must at least obtain the Sea God's Heart, which is the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire: the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Without strength comparable to Qian Daoliu, he could not openly prevent Qian Renxue from ascending to godhood, nor could he prevent Bibi Dong from achieving the Rakshasa godhood, otherwise he could not bear the revenge of Qian Daoliu, a demigod of the time.

If the two become gods, but he is still a mortal, then it is obvious that the Douluo Continent will belong to the Spirit Hall.

The only shortcut for him to achieve godhood before these two was to follow the same path as them and become a god through inheritance.

Without resorting to tricks, even a Twin Martial Soul Master cannot achieve dual Godhood, and one Godhood is enough.

Therefore, he must choose to inherit one of the two divine positions: Asura or Sea God.

The Asura Godhood is a supreme god-king level position, while the Sea Godhood is a first-level main god level position. Which one to choose is obvious.

He absolutely had to go to this city of slaughter.

Similarly, by reserving a spot first, one can prevent Tang Buddha from reaping the benefits.

As long as Tang San's transmigration wasn't deliberately arranged by the Asura God King, there's no special relationship between the human and the god, and the successor to the Asura God's position isn't predetermined like the Angel God's position, then Mu Yang is determined to have the Asura God's position!

However, there are also certain potential dangers in going to the City of Slaughter and obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain.

This potential danger doesn't refer to passing through the Hell Road, or the prerequisite for passing through the Hell Road: achieving a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Killing Arena, but rather to becoming the King of Slaughter.

Undoubtedly, the King of Slaughter, who regards the City of Slaughter as his own territory, does not want any Soul Master to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain and become a God of Slaughter who can freely enter and exit the City of Slaughter and is not restricted by the anti-magic domain.

Mu Yang didn't know how Tang Hao and Bibi Dong solved this problem in the past, but he knew that if Tang San and Hu Liena in the original story didn't have the God of Slaughter standing behind them, they might not have been able to safely obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, and at the very least, they would have had to go through some additional twists and turns.

Even if the City of Slaughter has rules set by the Asura God King that he dares not disobey and must act according to the rules and not deliberately make moves, what if he makes moves outside the City of Slaughter? Would that not be considered breaking the rules?

Without the reigning God of Slaughter as his backer, the King of Slaughter might very well be lying in ambush at the exit as soon as he enters the Road to Hell.

To be on the safe side, you can go to the Killing Kingdom, but you must be prepared to deal with the Killing King's trump card. Even if you can't defeat the Killing King, you should at least be able to escape from him.

Fortunately, although the King of Slaughter was the former "Invincible on Land" Tang Chen, he was unable to unleash the power of a peerless Douluo or even a demigod because he was parasitized by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King.

Judging from the fact that the King of Slaughter in the original work had to be wary of Tang Hao, and the level of strength it displayed later, the King of Slaughter's strength is probably only around the level of Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Chen Xin.

Currently, he and Shui Bing'er are indeed far from being a match for the King of Slaughter. After all, with their battle armor and spirit fusion skills, they can at most contend against weaklings like She Long.

However, he and Shui Bing'er later advanced to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor level and upgraded their Ice Flame Battle Armor and Ice Phoenix Battle Armor into proper two-word Battle Armors. Putting aside other factors, escaping from the King of Slaughter should be no problem.

The six-ring Soul Emperor, wearing two-word battle armor, possesses strength at least comparable to an eight-ring Soul Douluo. With their foundation and profound secret techniques, even if they are only newly entered the sixth ring, their combat power is definitely among the best below the ninth ring.

Moreover, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is not a Soul Skill and is not subject to the Killing Domain that the King of Slaughter can use to restrict the opponent's use of Soul Skills.

On this basis, with the added boost from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they are guaranteed to have a combat power of at least level 95. With such strength, the King of Slaughter certainly cannot hold them back.

As for the position of the sea god?

Mu Yang looked at Shui Bing'er, whose head was resting on his shoulder.

Although ice is not the same as water, the two are quite similar. With Shui Bing'er's talent and potential, she should be able to catch Poseidon's eye.

He controls the Asura realm, and Shui Bing'er controls the Sea God realm; this would perfectly cut off Tang Buddha's chance to become a god.

Unlike the qualifiers, which have multiple arenas running simultaneously, the qualifying rounds only have one arena: the Royal Knights' Grand Training Ground.

The training ground has been renovated, with a circular area in the center, 100 meters in diameter, designated as the competition arena. Compared to the preliminary rounds, this space is much larger, allowing participants to better showcase their abilities.

Team battles are chaotic and the arena is small, making it difficult to see many things clearly. However, individual elimination tournaments are different, making it easy to distinguish who is stronger and who is weaker.

On the north side of the drill ground, a temporary VIP seat, which also served as the referee's seat, was set up facing south.

However, there were far fewer VIPs watching the qualifying matches than in the preliminary rounds. Looking around, apart from Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and Huo Lie, the seats behind them were mostly occupied by high-ranking generals of the Heaven Dou Empire in armor, along with a few heavyweight princes and nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire such as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing, plus a few cardinals from the Spirit Hall.

The high-ranking members of the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall were almost wiped out by Tang Hao. Only a few who were not in the hall at the time escaped. In order to avoid Tang Hao launching a counterattack, the Spirit Hall did not send anyone to rebuild for the time being, and planned to wait until the matter was settled.

Therefore, among the VIPs watching the qualifying matches of this year's Soul Master Competition, the number of people from the Spirit Hall was very small, far less than in previous years.

Of course, even if only a handful of members of the Spirit Hall remain in Heaven Dou City, they will still be brought in to serve as judges.

This wasn't because of the Spirit Hall's power, but because the Spirit Hall was a co-organizer of the Soul Master Competition and had the right to participate in the judging. To ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition, it was necessary for personnel from the Spirit Hall to be present.

With more than half an hour to go before the scheduled start time, the participating teams began to arrive at the venue one after another.
