In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 315 Another Storm Rises on the Continent

Change of Martial Soul?

What the hell?

His martial soul is clearly just the Clear Sky Hammer, so how can it change? What can it become?

Tang Hao was filled with doubt. Suddenly, he involuntarily raised his right hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul appeared in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, a dark purple divine light suddenly descended from the secret realm, enveloping his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit along with his entire right hand.

"what!"

Tang Hao instantly felt an unbearable pain, many times more painful than when he was hit by Wang Zhao's death whip not long ago, causing him to cry out and his face to visibly contort.

Then, Tang Hao's pain seemed to reach a certain critical point. His eyes suddenly widened, then closed and he fell straight to the ground, unconscious.

"Hehehe..."

Faintly, the eerie laughter of the Rakshasa god echoed within the secret realm.

I don't know how much time passed.

Tang Hao woke up again.

His eyes were momentarily dazed, then he found himself feeling a surge of comfort, as if he had undergone a legendary cleansing and rejuvenation process.

When Tang Hao recalled everything that happened before he fell into a coma, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The change in my martial soul... I feel so good now, it must be because the Rakshasa God Trial rewarded and helped my martial soul become stronger!

He thought of it subconsciously, but soon his face showed a hint of hesitation.

The reason was simple: the previous reward settlements from the Rakshasa God Exam had dealt him a heavy blow, leaving him quite frightened. He worried that his martial soul might be drastically altered by the Rakshasa God.

In that case, would he still be able to use his Exploding Ring, his Great Sumeru Hammer, and his Haotian Ultimate Technique...?

bah bah bah!

Tang Hao shook his head, quickly dismissing these negative thoughts, but his expression remained hesitant, showing no sign of surprise.

He raised his right hand and summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.

As the familiar phantom gradually solidified, Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly his expression turned extremely grim.

"What the heck is this spiral pattern and cone-shaped design?!"

"No, it would be one thing if the upper part of my Clear Sky Hammer turned into a cone, but this damn thing doesn't even have a cone! It's practically just a decoration, which is equivalent to my Clear Sky Hammer being missing a head!"

"So what exactly is this? Bamboo shoots? Haotian..."

Tang Hao's face grew even darker.

"Rakshasa God, I demand an explanation from you."

"Hehehe, my successor, don't be in such a hurry."

Rakshasa God did not punish Tang Hao for his slight disrespect; instead, he responded to him with unusual seriousness.

"While the relationship between a Soul Master's own Martial Soul and their divine inheritance isn't that significant, the more compatible the Soul Master's Martial Soul and the divine inheritance are, the better. Think about it, is a domineering Martial Soul like the Clear Sky Hammer compatible with the Rakshasa divine position?"

"this……"

Tang Hao paused, still filled with suspicion, and asked, "If the Clear Sky Hammer isn't suitable, then is this damn thing suitable?"

"certainly."

The voice of the Rakshasa god was full of seriousness.

"You'll understand the mysteries of your martial soul after it's been modified. Explore it slowly. When you truly become the Rakshasa God, your martial soul will definitely bring you surprises."

Tang Hao: "..."

What's the difference between saying this and not saying anything? Why does he feel so strongly that Rakshasa is trying to fool him? Is he giving him an empty promise?

Regardless of Tang Hao's doubts, the change in his martial soul was irreversible. Rakshasa God had no intention of continuing to explain to Tang Hao, so he could only say, "Issue my fourth trial task."

……

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

The Spirit Hall's Holy Son, who had been in seclusion for many years, suddenly reappeared, accompanied by an earth-shattering battle against Tang Hao, the "Day-by-Day Douluo" who had once defied the Angel Douluo Qian Xunji. The reason for the battle was that Tang Hao had become a fallen Soul Master with blood on his hands, wantonly slaughtering ordinary villagers. The Spirit Hall's Holy Son ultimately defeated Tang Hao. The Spirit Hall's Holy Son's name is "Li Ming"...

These reports were like a bomb dropped into the world of Soul Masters, causing an uproar across the continent.

"What?! A one-ring Soul Master?!"

In the faculty dormitory of Notting College, Yu Xiaogang held a novel gadget called "newspaper" published by the Free Guild in recent years, slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is a one-ring Soul Master? Is that possible? How could a one-ring Soul Master possibly defeat Tang Hao?!"

"And also, how could Tang Hao...?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted between light and dark, but he eventually managed to calm down, shook his head, and focused his attention back on the "Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

"Li Ming? The surname is Li, I've never heard of him... Could it be that he, like Bibi Dong, was born a commoner Soul Master?"

"The martial soul is an unknown scythe, which does seem to be commonly found among commoners. Could it be a mutated scythe martial soul?"

"Leaving that aside for now, what's going on with his spirit rings? Could it be...?"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly thought of a possibility, but shook her head with a strange expression.

"Impossible, this doesn't make sense. If it really is a twin martial soul, then this scythe must be his second martial soul, which he plans to add more spirit rings to later. He wouldn't reveal it so easily. I believe Bibi Dong would definitely teach him not to reveal it and to use his first martial soul with all the spirit rings normally... But if it's not a twin martial soul, how do you explain his spirit rings?"

"A gray spirit ring? Are you sure you didn't mistake black for gray? It's not a ten-thousand-year spirit ring?"

"A first-ring Soul Master..."

Yu Xiaogang paced back and forth, clutching the newspaper, her brows furrowed.

"No, the information in this newspaper is incomplete. Perhaps the Spirit Hall intentionally concealed some details of the great battle when releasing the news, which makes sense. But if they wanted to hide it, why reveal this information in the first place? What exactly is the Spirit Hall planning to do by suddenly introducing this Holy Son at this time?"

Just as Yu Xiaogang was filled with doubt and uncertainty, there was a knock on his door, and Tang San's voice came from outside.

"Teacher, I've received my graduation certificate. It's from Shillake Academy, which you mentioned before..."

……

On the desks of the leaders of numerous major forces, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, and the Star Luo Sect, there were already reports from various channels about "the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall," "Li Ming," and "Tang Hao, the Daily Douluo." With their brows furrowed, Ning Fengzhi and the others notified the high-ranking figures of their respective forces to gather together for a meeting.

During this time, another piece of news quietly leaked out of the Spirit Hall and soon landed on the desks of the leaders of various forces:

Having been in seclusion for many years, the Haotian Sect should no longer occupy one of the three major sects in society. Therefore, a month from now, a re-selection competition for the seven major sects will be held in Longxing City, and the Dragon King Palace, major sects and clans of the continent are cordially invited to participate!
