Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

"good!"

The elder nodded and continued, "Has the sect leader ever considered what might be the case: what if this isn't a rumor, or what if it is a rumor, but it was spread by the Spirit Hall?"

If it is the former, given Mu Yang's demonstrated talent, the Spirit Hall will definitely regard him as a major threat.

Don't forget that during the Soul Master Competition, the Platinum Bishop Salas, who was then the Lord of the Heaven Dou Temple, sent someone to assassinate him.

Geniuses are all proud, let alone geniuses who have grown into strong individuals. Judging others by one's own standards, I don't think the young man can swallow this insult.

Similarly, the Spirit Hall will not allow its hostile opponents to continue to grow stronger.

If it is the latter, then the Spirit Hall must have the intention to suppress the Elemental Holy Academy.

After all, the Elemental Holy Academy not only has many experts at present, but also its younger generation is very dazzling. For example, Mu Yang, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Feng Xiaotian have shown talent that is no less than the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation". They all have a great chance to become Title Douluo in the future.

Given such strength and potential, it's not hard to understand why the Spirit Hall is suppressing the Elemental Holy Academy.

After a moment's hesitation, Ning Fengzhi asked, "What if it's neither?"

"The former cannot be confirmed; what is false is still false and cannot become true."

However, whether the rumors were spread by the Spirit Hall or not is not important, as long as the Elemental Academy determines that the rumors were spread by the Spirit Hall.

In this way, knowing that the Spirit Hall is suppressing and targeting them, the Elemental Holy Academy will definitely feel dissatisfied.

Even when the Elemental Holy Academy feared that the Spirit Hall would secretly plot against them, it was only natural that they sought alliances with other forces to avoid suffering the same fate as the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up. As an old fox, he understood the unspoken meaning of his elder's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was potential in it.

While it's unethical to secretly drag others down, isn't this a last resort?

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall might actually have such intentions. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School secretly dragged the Elemental Holy Academy into the mess. This isn't about harming anyone, but rather about letting their allies prepare in advance!

In the Northern Province, within the city of Frosty Ice, dozens of miles away from the Elemental Holy Academy.

"Your martial spirits are all hammer-type. Form pairs, proceed according to plan, and be sure to leave some traces. Go!"

In a courtyard in the north of the city, a powerful, alluring man with blond hair gave instructions to his six subordinates.

"Yes, Elder!"

Six elite members of the Spirit Hall, each possessing a hammer-type martial spirit, bowed to receive the order and then left the courtyard.

"Old Ghost, do you think His Holiness the Pope's plan will succeed?"

After the six people left, Yue Guan asked the ghost beside him.

"I don't know either, but it won't have much of an impact if it doesn't work out; at least it will sow the seeds of conflict. If it does work out, then things will get interesting."

The ghost said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Yue Guan nodded in agreement: "That's right. Putting the blame on Haotian Sect is pointless. Those brutes are too arrogant to bother explaining themselves to you."

When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. Regardless of who wins or loses, the loss will not be borne by my Spirit Hall.

Clearly, due to the lack of communication and the fact that the Northern Province was far from the Tian Dou territory, news could not be spread in a timely manner. Ju Gui and his companion, who had come to carry out the special mission ordered by Bibi Dong after annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, were unaware that the victim of their frame-up scheme, the Haotian Sect, had already been wiped out.

Similarly, Bibi Dong did not expect Mu Yang and the Elemental Holy Academy to be so decisive. The day after Tang Hao's death, they rushed thousands of miles and wiped out the entire Haotian Sect overnight.

This resulted in Bibi Dong receiving news of the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect, but not having time to inform the Chrysanthemum and Ghost duo who, after annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, did not return to the Spirit Hall and instead came directly to the Northern Province to carry out her "plan within a plan".

Elemental Holy Academy, Snow Mountain Mimicry Training Ground.

Sitting cross-legged atop the mountain, calming his mind and clearing away distracting thoughts, Mu Yang attempted to condense his first soul core.

Currently, his soul power level has reached level 84 Soul Douluo, and the Soul Core Secret Technique has already been invented. Logically speaking, he should have condensed his first soul core long ago.

However, due to the rapid increase in soul power level during this period, coupled with other matters to attend to, it was delayed.

During his previous trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Mu Yang acquired three 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, raising his soul power level from 70-level Quasi-Soul Saint to 80-level Quasi-Soul Douluo.

The subsequent trip to the City of Slaughter, the eighth divinely bestowed soul ring that was over 300,000 years old, and the soul power level increase rewarded by the divine test enabled Mu Yang to leap from a level 80 Quasi-Soul Douluo to a level 84 Soul Douluo.

With his soul power increasing by fourteen levels in a short period of time, Mu Yang had no time to condense his soul core.

However, the period of rapid increase in soul power has passed, and with some free time available, and needing a soul core as one of his trump cards to pass the fifth trial of Asura, Mu Yang finally calmed down and began to condense it.

Facing the howling wind sweeping across the mountaintop, Mu Yang extended his right palm. As his soul power circulated within his body, strands of icy blue soul power began to gather, forming a small pool of liquid soul power in his right palm.

The icy blue soul power in his palm gradually increased. Mu Yang released his spiritual power and manipulated the liquid soul power in his palm to suspend it in the air, floating above his palm and beginning to rotate clockwise.

Currently in the initial stage of condensing the soul core, Mu Yang, relying on his decent level of soul power control and strong mental power, did not proceed too cautiously and directly accelerated the injection and rotation speed of soul power.

As the soul power accelerated its rotation, Mu Yang saw that the ice-blue liquid soul power floating above his palm was being slowly compressed and gradually becoming thicker.

Everything is moving in a positive direction: compression, rotation, more compression, and more rotation.

The rotation speed of the liquid soul power increased and the degree of compression increased. Before long, a tiny, icy blue crystal the size of a pinhead suddenly appeared in the already thick liquid soul power.

Clearly, the soul power floating above the palm of the hand has changed form, beginning to transform from a liquid to a solid state.

Suppressing his excitement, Mu Yang dared not slack off in the slightest and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the task.

After all, things are different now than before. His soul power level has increased dramatically in a short period of time, and his control over his soul power has inevitably declined.

It can be said that compared to when he was at level 70, a quasi-Soul Saint, the difficulty for Mu Yang to condense a Soul Core has increased to some extent.

However, Mu Yang would not regret not having condensed his soul core earlier.

Soul cores have the effect of purifying soul power. As a soul master's soul power becomes purer, the amount of soul power required for advancement will increase. When the total amount of soul power increase remains constant, the advancement of soul power level will naturally be less.

For example, when he did not have a soul core in his body, the 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones of the Titan Giant Ape, the Azure Bull Python, and Xiao Wu increased his soul power by a total of about ten levels.

However, if he had already condensed a soul core within his body at that time, with the addition of these three 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, he would most likely not have been able to increase his soul power by ten levels, and would most likely only reach level eight or nine.

It can be said that although the difficulty of condensing a soul core increases after the surge in soul power, it is still more beneficial than harmful compared to condensing it before the surge in soul power.

After all, once you reach a higher level, it takes quite a bit of time to increase your soul power by one level.

While the difficulty of condensing a soul core increased due to the rapid increase in soul power level in a short period of time, it did not reach the point where it was impossible to condense one.

Furthermore, as for the level of soul power control, it's relatively easy to improve with diligent practice. (End of Chapter)
