Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 117 The Soul Master Competition Begins

Ning Fengzhi hesitated, and seeing this, Tang Yuehua increased the stakes, raising the share of the profits allocated to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from 20% to 40%.

After a fierce internal struggle, Ning Fengzhi finally decided to help Tang Hao and ordered the steward to find some rare medicinal herbs to treat the Tang siblings' internal injuries.

After the Tang siblings left, Bone Douluo, who had been silently hiding in the shadows, emerged and said, "Feng Zhi, you knew Tang Hao was severely injured by the Nine Star Palace, so why did you help him? Don't forget, we paid the price of four 50,000-year-level soul bones to reconcile with the Nine Star Palace!"

Sword Douluo appeared behind Bone Douluo. Although he didn't speak, the look in his eyes when he looked at Ning Fengzhi showed that he had the same question as Bone Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "At first, I was also hesitant, but later I understood. Those four soul bones were only exchanged for the Nine Star Palace to stop pursuing the past. In reality, the rift between us has not disappeared. Moreover, the Nine Star Palace has many powerful experts. Even today, we still haven't fully figured out the true strength of the Nine Star Palace. I have a bad feeling that if we form an alliance with the Nine Star Palace, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will only become an appendage of the Nine Star Palace in the end."

Bone Douluo continued, "But even if we help Tang Hao like this, will the Clear Sky Sect appreciate it? Strictly speaking, Tang Hao is no longer a member of the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Uncle Bone, you can rest assured about that!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "If it were just about seeking medicinal herbs to treat his injuries, Tang Hao wouldn't need to ask Tang Yuehua to come forward at all. Does he think his title of Haotian Douluo is beneath my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? By bringing Tang Yuehua along, he is actually implying to me that the relationship between the three Tang siblings is as it was before. Even now, the title of Haotian Douluo, which should have belonged to the sect master of Haotian Sect, still belongs to him."

"Since Feng Zhi, you've decided to side with the Haotian Sect, then we two old folks will give you our full support!"

Bone Douluo changed the subject, "However, the Nine Star Palace's strength is unfathomable. It's best not to go to the point of turning against us unless absolutely necessary."

"That's natural!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "After that battle, I believe Tang Hao should understand how terrifying the Nine Star Palace is. He already has a deep-seated grudge against the Spirit Hall, so I don't believe he would be foolish enough to provoke a powerful sect that is even stronger than the Clear Sky Sect. As long as he doesn't jump out and court death, who would know that it was our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that provided him with the medicinal herbs to heal his injuries?"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo nodded in deep agreement. As long as Tang Hao didn't cause any trouble, everyone could live in peace.

After Tang Hao took several top-grade medicinal herbs from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he stayed at Yuexuan to recuperate, because his injuries were too severe and he could no longer act as a demon. Tiandou City finally welcomed a long-awaited period of peace.

. . . . . . . . . .

Spring has passed and autumn has come; another year has gone by, and Xiao Yu has finally ushered in the day when the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin.

For the past year, aside from dealing with the Sunset Forest incident, Xiao Yu had been in seclusion, cultivating diligently. The other members of the Nine Star Team did the same; aside from necessary outings, they were almost all buried in their studies at the academy, working hard to improve their soul power and combat skills, resulting in significant improvements in their overall strength.

Captain Xiao Yu possesses twin martial souls: Underworld Apostle and Death Scythe. He is a level 66 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Emperor with one yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings.

Of the four 50,000-year soul bones sent by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Xiao Yu picked out two that didn't produce particularly strong soul beasts and exchanged them for diamonds in the system shop. He then used the diamonds he had accumulated to exchange for a 100,000-year Hades Dragon right arm soul bone.

With two 100,000-year-old soul bones, Xiao Yu was confident that he could win even against high-level soul saints like Flander and Zhao Wuji.

Vice Captain Eden, Martial Soul Thunder Venerable, Level 59 Control-type Battle Soul King, with one yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings.

Team member Yihui, with the Martial Soul Fire Phoenix, is a level 58 Power Attack-type Battle Soul King with one yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings.

Team member Zi Long, martial soul Azure Dragon, level 56 strong attack type battle soul king, soul rings one yellow, two purple and two black.

Team member Rong Dou, martial spirit Thick Earth Greedy Wolf, level 54 agility-attack type battle spirit king, spirit rings one yellow, two purple and two black.

Team member Ye Lengleng, with the Nine-Star Begonia Martial Soul, is a Level 53 Support-type Battle Soul King with two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Rings.

Team member Cang Mo, Martial Soul: Flaming Lion, Level 53 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King, Soul Rings: One Yellow, Two Purple, and Two Black.

Team member Yuna, Martial Soul: Whirlwind Eagle, Level 51 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul King, Soul Rings: One Yellow, Two Purple, and Two Black.

Team member Mi Yimei, her martial soul is the harp, she is a level 49 support-type battle soul master, and her soul rings are two yellow and two purple.

Teammate Dugu Yan, martial soul Golden Dragon, level 48 strong attack type battle soul master, soul rings two yellow and two purple.

After her martial soul evolved and she lost her ability to control the field with poison, Dugu Yan, under the guidance of Dugu Bo and other Nine Star Palace experts, decisively abandoned the method of controlling the field with poison and instead adopted a strong offensive approach.

Team member Xie Wu, Martial Soul Unicorn, Level 47 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and two purple Soul Rings.

Team member Huo Wu, Martial Soul Huo Ying, Level 46 Control-type Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and two purple Soul Rings.

After Huo Wu and Xiao Yu developed a deep relationship, Xiao Yu naturally wouldn't mistreat his woman, gifting her a pill made from a blend of immortal herbs. However, because Huo Wu took the pill too late, its effects were only just beginning to take hold. Xiao Yu believed that in a few more years, her cultivation level would catch up.

Team member Io, Martial Soul Sea Illusion Beast, Level 44 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and two purple Soul Rings.

The team member is beautiful, her martial spirit is a dolphin, she is a level 41 agility-attack type battle spirit master, and her spirit rings are two yellow and two purple.

In addition to the teammates mentioned above, the Nine Stars team has added four new members, namely...

Meng Yiran, her martial soul is the Serpent Staff, she is a level 39 agility-attack type battle soul master, and her soul rings are two yellow and one purple.

Yang Guan, Martial Soul: Soul-Breaking Spear, Level 37 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and one purple soul rings. He is Yang Wudi's nephew and the most talented among the younger generation of the Breaking Clan.

Niu Quan, Martial Soul Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, Level 36 Defensive Battle Soul Master, with two yellow and one purple Soul Rings. He is the grandson of Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu Clan, and enrolled in Nine Star Academy at the invitation of Yang Wudi.

Bai Ningxin, with the Martial Soul Swift, is a level 36 Agility-Attack type Battle Soul Master with two yellow and one purple Soul Rings. She is a young disciple of the Agility Clan and was also invited by Yang Wudi to enroll in Nine Star Academy.

These four joined the Nine Stars team entirely because Xiao Yu gave Yang Wudi face and wanted to recruit their elders: Long Gong, Meng Shu, She Po, Chao Tianxiang, the Yu Clan, and the Min Clan. That's why he gave them a chance to slack off and show their faces in the team.
