Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 55 Tyrannosaurus Douluo

A month later, Huo Lie, Mu Xiyue, and Chi Chengyan returned to the academy.

As expected, the three returning Soul Hunters were already a nine-ring Title Douluo and an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Chi Chengyan advanced with the Fiery Sparrow Soul Ring, which was over 80,000 years old. After the advancement, he was rather unremarkable, and his Soul Power level was 81 Soul Douluo.

However, the eighth spirit ring, which is over 80,000 years old, surpasses the age of most Soul Masters in the world.

You should know that, according to rumors, a certain titled Douluo's ninth spirit ring is not even 80,000 years old yet!

Dugu Bo: Why are you all looking at me?

Compared to Chi Chengyan, Mu Xiyue, who also acquired an eighth spirit ring and advanced to an eight-ring Soul Douluo, is quite impressive.

With the Fiery Tiger Soul Ring that had been around for over 90,000 years, plus the accumulated soul power hidden within her body after completely refining the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Mu Xiyue's soul power level reached 85th level Soul Douluo as soon as she advanced.

With the boost to her talent and potential brought about by consuming the celestial herbs, coupled with her foundation as a level 85 Soul Douluo, it is foreseeable that Mu Xiyue will be able to advance to the level of a nine-ring Title Douluo in just a few years.

Mu Xiyue wasn't the only one whose soul power level was unusually high after advancing. After being given a Crimson Flame Winged Dragon soul ring that was over 90,000 years old, Huo Lie's soul power level was not 91-level Title Douluo, but 92-level Title Douluo.

This is not because the energy contained in the 90,000-year-old Crimson Flame Winged Dragon Soul Ring is extremely large, but because Huo Lie's situation is somewhat similar to Mu Xiyue's. After refining the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, a portion of the soul power accumulated in his body could not be manifested because he lacked a ninth soul ring at that time.

This unmanifested accumulation of soul power, combined with the ninth soul ring that had been around for over 90,000 years, allowed Huo Lie to reach the level 92 Title Douluo with his soul power upon advancing in rank.

From this moment on, after nearly two hundred years, Blazing Fire Academy once again had a nine-ring titled Douluo in charge, making it the academy with the strongest teaching staff among the five elemental academies.

Of course, it is only the strongest among the elemental academies, not the advanced soul master academy with the strongest teaching staff in the continent's soul master world.

After all, the Spirit Academy, which belongs to the Spirit Hall, boasts the best teaching staff on the entire continent.

Although the official high-ranking members of the Martial Soul Academy are all only eight-ring Soul Douluo, not as good as Huo Lie, a nine-ring Title Douluo, the dean of the Martial Soul Academy is actually a figurehead appointed by the current Pope of the Martial Soul Hall. It's just like how Emperor Xue Ye is appointed as the dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Compared to the deans of other advanced soul master academies on the mainland who are at the seventh or eighth ring level, Huo Lie's strength as a titled Douluo is indeed strong, but compared to Bibi Dong, he is undoubtedly much weaker.

Unless it was a few years ago, when Bibi Dong had just succeeded to the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall and had not yet advanced to the title of Title Douluo.

In the living room, after congratulating his uncle and aunt, Mu Yang asked, "Uncle, do you plan to continue using the title 'Blazing Fire'?"

Similar to the names of Angel Douluo of the Spirit Hall's Angel Family and Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect, according to convention, the strongest person in Blazing Fire Academy is the academy's dean, and after achieving the title of Douluo, he will inherit the name "Blazing Fire Douluo".

However, Huo Lie is a little different. In the history of Blazing Fire Academy, all the "Blazing Fire Douluo" had a single fire attribute martial soul. Huo Lie's previous Unicorn Fire Tyrannosaurus was a fire attribute martial soul, but now the Lava Tyrannosaurus has both fire and earth attributes.

Using "Blazing Fire" as a title would undoubtedly seem somewhat inappropriate.

"My title is: Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Huo Lie straightened his back and said proudly.

Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Mu Yang gave Huo Lie a strange look.

Tyrannosaurus Douluo—just hearing his name makes him sound like a brute.

Fortunately, Huo Lie is male; if he were female, he might be called a "she-tyrant" or something similar behind his back.

"Will the subsequent banquet for bestowing the title be held?"

Mu Yang asked again.

The title conferment banquet is a custom in the soul master world of the mainland. Most soul masters who achieve the title of title Douluo will hold the banquet after advancing to the next level, and invite forces from all sides of the mainland to participate.

There are two purposes for holding the title conferment banquet. One is simply to celebrate, since becoming a titled Douluo is a great joy.

Secondly, it serves to demonstrate the strength of itself and its affiliated forces to the mainland, deterring troublemakers while participating in the distribution of benefits in the region.

In the Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme, the strong are entitled to enjoy more benefits than the weak.

Huo Lie shook his head and said, "Let's forget about that. My Blazing Fire Academy is different from other forces; we don't need to gain benefits by demonstrating our strength. Besides, whether I am a Title Douluo or not as the dean won't have much impact on the academy's enrollment."

As one of the elemental academies, Blazing Fire Academy already has a very strong reputation within the Heaven Dou Empire. In addition, because it only accepts fire-type soul masters, Blazing Fire Academy is even more attractive to fire-type genius soul masters than Heaven Dou Royal Academy. From this perspective alone, whether the academy has a titled Douluo in charge or not makes little difference.

"Aren't you going to do it?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang was somewhat disappointed.

If there's no banquet to confer titles, then there won't be any guests invited. And if there are no guests, then Tianshui Academy, which participated in the Soul Hunting event, will most likely not send any representatives. And if they don't send representatives, the twin sisters will definitely...

Uh... how could I, Mu Yang, at such a young age, be bewitched by mere beauty? That's really unacceptable!

Mu Yang: Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed! Huh? I don't think I practice swordsmanship? Never mind then.

"Uncle, this is for you~"

Hiding his slight disappointment, Mu Yang took out the "Lava Meditation Method" that he had deduced some time ago from his soul guide storage bracelet and handed it to Huo Lie.

With the experience of deducing the "Ice Flame Meditation Method," a fusion attribute meditation method, Mu Yang accelerated the deduction of special meditation methods again. In just one week, the "Lava Meditation Method," a fusion of fire and earth, was freshly created.

"Lava meditation?"

Upon taking a look, Huo Lie's spirits immediately lifted.

This is like a pillow being delivered when you're feeling sleepy!

Just then, his martial soul transformed into a Lava Tyrannosaurus, and its attribute changed from a single fire attribute to a dual fire and earth attribute. Originally, Huo Lie thought he should continue to cultivate the "Extreme Flame Meditation Method," which was no longer suitable, or simply cultivate the ordinary meditation method. Unexpectedly, he turned around and came to the "Lava Meditation Method," which combines fire and earth attributes.

My nephew is so filial!

Yes, praise be to the great God!

"From now on, I must cultivate diligently so that I can obtain a 100,000-year eighth spirit ring for Xiao Yang, or even a 100,000-year seventh spirit ring!"

Looking at his incredibly filial nephew, Huo Lie thought to himself.

As an elder, Huo Lie couldn't just lie there and be carried by his nephew; he had to fulfill his role as an elder.

Some readers have said that the protagonist randomly gives away the martial arts manuals he deduced. Let me explain: the protagonist doesn't just give them away randomly; he only gives them to his aunt's family.

The aunt is one of the closest relatives by blood besides the parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents. Not to mention that this aunt is also the protagonist's adoptive mother. With this dual relationship, there's nothing wrong with her passing on the cultivation technique, right?

Tang San was able to pass on the Tang Sect's secret manual, and in the future, the protagonist will also use the abridged version of the cultivation technique as the foundation of the Elemental Academy, allowing other high-ranking members of the academy or geniuses belonging to the academy to cultivate it. Since it can be passed on to outsiders with no blood relation in the future, is there a problem with passing it on to relatives now? Not passing it on would be heartless.

Furthermore, don't take cultivation techniques too seriously. In Douluo Continent, what matters is the talent of a Soul Master. If you lack talent, cultivation techniques are useless, while those with talent can become powerful even without techniques.

In addition, since he is the protagonist, he will definitely become a god in the future. He will pass on cultivation techniques with a cultivation limit below the god level. Just like an invincible expert in the world, he would not be so reluctant to pass on the basic cultivation techniques he used to lay the foundation to his disciples, right?
