Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Could it be that Hu Liena was originally the true protagonist of the Douluo Continent?

The reason her ending was bad in the original work was simply because Tang San, a transmigrator who shouldn't have existed, appeared.

From God's perspective, although Hu Liena lost her parents at a young age and relied on her older brother Xie Yue for survival, she was backed by the Spirit Hall, the most powerful spirit master organization in the continent's spirit master world, so her safety was not a problem.

Furthermore, Hu Liena later became a student of Pope Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong, due to her own circumstances, devoted all her maternal love to Hu Liena, treating her as her own daughter. From the perspective of a teacher, Bibi Dong can definitely be considered an excellent teacher.

The teacher is the future Rakshasa God, and the senior sister is the future Angel God. She herself also became the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall due to her outstanding talent and hard work. Later, after the Spirit Hall transformed into the Spirit Empire, she went from being the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall to the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Empire, and was the first in line to inherit the throne of the Spirit Empire.

If it weren't for the variable of Tang San, the transmigrator, the Spirit Empire, which later possessed two gods, would definitely have been able to unify the continent.

Once her teacher Bibi Dong and senior sister Qian Renxue ascend to the God Realm, Hu Liena will become the empress of the only empire in the Douluo Continent. Moreover, she will have powerful backers in the God Realm, making her imperial power extremely stable.

Well, if Tang San hadn't turned the tables on everyone, Grandpa Dugu Bo would most likely have been killed by the Spirit Hall's experts during the subsequent war to unify the continent.

When the Spirit Hall unifies the continent in the future and takes stock of its spoils, it is highly likely that it will discover the treasure trove that is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

It just so happens that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan also has considerable research on immortal herbs. At that time, Hu Liena might be able to use the power of immortal herbs to make up for her own shortcomings in talent and become one of the most talented people in the continent's soul master world.

With top-tier talent and the protection of two first-level gods, Hu Liena's future ascension to godhood is absolutely a foregone conclusion. Isn't she the perfect template for a protagonist with exceptional destiny?

Although there is no direct evidence, Mu Yang felt that his guess was that the Douluo Continent had no transmigrators.

Pulling his scattered thoughts back, Mu Yang focused on what was in front of him.

Although Hu Liena's mental strength is not weak, it is still far inferior to his cultivation of "Taiyin Refining Spirit" and his consumption of "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew".

The initial age of an external soul bone is the same as the age of a soul ring, and the subsequent years are linked to the soul master's soul power level. Hu Liena is currently only a five-ring soul king, so the age of this external soul bone and its soul bone skill is naturally not very high.

Whether it's a soul skill or a soul bone, if the age is not high, the effect will inevitably be limited, except for a few rule-based, heaven-defying skills.

If Mu Yang's True Illusion and Soul-Seizing Secret Technique can be effective against most seventh-ring Soul Saints, then Hu Liena's Heavenly Fox Illusion Soul Bone Technique would be mostly ineffective against Soul Saints who have just entered the seventh ring. At most, it could only be used against ordinary level 70 Soul Masters who have not yet attached their seventh soul ring.

Without much thought, Mu Yang prepared to forcefully break Hu Liena's move and wipe out the Spirit Hall team.

However, just as he was about to make his move, Mu Yang stopped.

Undoubtedly, Hu Liena's Heavenly Fox Illusion Soul Bone Technique was effective against ordinary level 70 Soul Masters. If he were to forcefully break it, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling others that Mu Yang's spiritual power was at least comparable to a seventh-ring Soul Saint?

With his seven-ring Soul Saint-level mental power, coupled with the mental techniques he had used, aside from the fact that his soul power level and number of soul rings did not meet the requirements, wouldn't Mu Yang have become a seven-ring mental control type Soul Saint?

No, no, absolutely not. He can't reveal his powerful mental strength.

You know, he just pulled off a big heist not long ago!

The Spirit Hall must have many imaginative and intelligent people. If he were to reveal his powerful mental strength now and connect it to the cause of Tang Hao's destruction of the Heaven Dou Temple, then he would be in deep trouble.

A lose-lose situation?

Suddenly, this thought flashed through Mu Yang's mind.

If Hu Liena can fight him to a draw, proving that his mental strength is not at the level of a seventh-ring Soul Saint, then no one will doubt that he is the instigator of the destruction of the Heavenly Dou Temple, right?

As for the great wisdom that led to the conclusion that this matter might have been accomplished by Huo Lie using spiritual magic?

As long as no one suspects him, everything is fine.

Even if the Spirit Hall suspects that Huo Lie, the Title Douluo, was behind this, it doesn't matter. Tang Hao has already taken the blame, and the Spirit Hall won't offend the Blazing Academy, which is no longer a pushover.

The reason why the Spirit Hall suspected him and he was ruined was not because the Spirit Hall wanted to retaliate against him, the instigator, for this matter.

Instead, Mu Yang was worried that the Spirit Hall would see him as a real threat and, disregarding his "fake brotherhood" with Qian Renxue, be determined to eliminate him.

This is not impossible. After all, he destroyed the Heaven Dou Temple through Tang Hao. In the eyes of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups, he would definitely be seen as hostile towards the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall, confident that it will have the last laugh, can tolerate the emergence of neutral geniuses, but it is obviously best to eliminate hostile geniuses as soon as possible.

Although Mu Yang's original intention was not this, he couldn't stop others from thinking that way!

Having figured out the key points, Mu Yang immediately restrained his mental power, controlling it to a level where he could be pulled into the illusion by Hu Liena's illusionary soul bone technique, but at the same level where he could break free of the illusion with his strong will.

You know what, pretending to be weak, especially without being seen through by others, is actually quite difficult; most people don't have that skill.

Fortunately, this matter was not difficult for Mu Yang. Unless he had a cheat code, all control over one's own power is simply a matter of practice makes perfect.

Diligent practice of offensive and defensive techniques can improve one's control over one's soul power, and learning mental techniques can naturally enhance one's control over mental power.

Soon, unable to overcome the mental power, Mu Yang's consciousness fell into Hu Liena's Heavenly Fox Illusion.

His gaze shifted, and what came into Mu Yang's view was still the arena in front of the Papal Palace.

Aside from the fact that Hu Liena had already cast the illusionary soul bone technique on herself in reality, and that the referee had not yet officially announced the start of the match in the illusion, and that Hu Liena had not even released her martial soul, the illusion and reality were almost seamlessly connected.

Of course, from Mu Yang's perspective, the world before him seemed somewhat illusory, as if he could destroy the entire world with a flick of his wrist.

Is it a simple illusion, or something akin to a realistic hallucination?

Subtly observing the illusion, Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself. (End of Chapter)
