In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 272 Taking Power!! Thoughts on Experience

After the avalanche, Emperor Xueye's mental state plummeted to its lowest point.

It wasn't caused by humans, but by a soul beast attack, and it was because his son recklessly stayed not far from the soul beast.

Another son died, and Emperor Xueye's illness worsened, with only secret palace medicines sustaining his life.

Prince Xuexing held a different view from Emperor Xueye.

He had always suspected Qian Renxue, ever since the second and third princes had run into trouble more than ten years ago.

He had some initial impression of Qian Renxue when she spoke well of Xue Beng, but after Xue Beng's accident, he completely changed his mind.

He firmly believed that Xue Beng's death must have been orchestrated by the so-called Crown Prince Qian Renxue.

So, a month after the avalanche, Prince Xuexing took advantage of the fact that Emperor Xueye was seriously ill, Crown Prince Qianrenxue was busy with state affairs, and Lin Hai was in seclusion to do something earth-shattering.

The avalanche was over, and Lin Hai then devoted more of his time to cultivation.

What Lin Hai didn't know was that there were one or two people who still had his mind on him!

That is, the shameless villain Tang Hao and the hypocritical gentleman Tang San.

Back then, Lin Hai and his group learned about the Thunderous Hell Vine from the Blue Silver King. After Lin Hai successfully obtained the 100,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine Soul Ring, Tang Hao brought Tang San to this Blue Silver Forest. Due to a disagreement, the Blue Silver King suffered, and Tang San betrayed the Blue Silver Grass Clan, killing his own family.

It was also here that Tang San learned that Lin Hai had stolen the opportunity that belonged to him, although that was probably true.

Then, while Tang San was training in the City of Slaughter, Tang Hao traveled around several places in the Heaven Dou Empire, hoping to catch Lin Hai in ambush. But...

His first stop was Silves City, where the Beast Academy was located. However, after staking out the city for a while, he discovered that the brat he was waiting for wasn't there at all.

Later, Tang Hao, having learned of Lin Hai's whereabouts, returned to Tian Dou City to continue his stakeout on Lin Hai. However, Lin Hai was like a tortoise, refusing to leave Tian Dou City, which was like a tortoise shell!

He managed to get out a few times, but only once or twice, when Tang Hao was away.

Furthermore, although Lin Hai didn't know Tang Hao was there when he went out, he was extremely cautious in his travels! Not only was he protected by a Title Douluo, but he also changed his identity several times in Heaven Dou City and concealed his aura. Perhaps Lin Hai had already anticipated that Tang Hao would be watching him.

Tang Hao never expected that such a shrewd person would remember him all this time!

Anyway, Tang Hao clearly knew that his target was inside Tiandou City, and even knew the exact location, but he just couldn't make a move.

In the days that followed, Tang Hao first took Tang San to his aunt Tang Yuehua to remove the murderous aura of the Slaughter City. Then, Tang San broke through to the Soul Emperor level, and Tang Hao took Tang San to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring.

However, both fortunate and unfortunate, he successfully obtained a spirit ring from a high-age poison-attribute spirit beast with Tang San, but their journey was not easy.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San wanted Tang Hao to take him to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to see Xiao Wu.

After careful consideration, Tang Hao agreed, but his condition for Tang San was that he obtain the spirit ring first before going to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile, the Star Dou Great Forest had already undergone a major transformation after the efforts of Lin Hai, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and others!

Then, as everyone knows, Tang Hao and Tang San met their end. They had barely stepped into the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest when the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape arrived and attacked Tang San and Tang Hao without saying a word.

Tang San had seen this Titan Giant Ape before and knew that it knew Xiao Wu, so Tang San immediately revealed his purpose, but was met with an even fiercer attack from the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python.

Anyway, Tang Hao and Tang San went there having a great time, but returned disappointed and dejected.

In the following years, the mainland entered a period of relative peace, but this peace made many people feel a little uneasy.

The year after Lin Hai acquired his spirit ring, Qian Renxue successfully broke through to level 80. She was just one spirit ring away from reaching the level of a Soul Douluo, and even some Title Douluos were no match for her as a Soul Douluo.

Qian Renxue left to obtain the soul ring that Qian Daoliu had prepared for her, while Lin Hai helped Qian Renxue handle some government affairs.

Incidentally, after acquiring the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's spirit ring, Lin Hai's spirit power directly reached the peak of level 72, just one step away from breaking through to level 73. When Qian Renxue broke through to Soul Douluo, Lin Hai had already reached level 74.

Qian Renxue returned after being away for about three months.

When Qian Renxue returned, it was already afternoon, and the officials had just handed in their memorials.

Lin Hai reviewed these memorials at an extremely fast pace. Lin Hai possessed extraordinary mental strength and had extensive experience from other worlds, so processing these memorials was not troublesome for him.

"Congratulations!" Lin Hai said while busy reviewing memorials.

"Um, I..."

"Now that you've broken through, we don't need to wait any longer." Lin Hai cut Qian Renxue off, leaving her speechless.

"etc!"

"Was that the tone you used to talk to me?" Qian Renxue frowned, her gaze filled with murderous intent as she looked at Lin Hai.

After obtaining her eighth spirit ring, Qian Renxue's first thought was to share it with Lin Hai, but look at that jerk's attitude!

"..." Lin Hai was busy handling official business, his mind completely absorbed in revising the memorials.

Seeing Lin Hai's somewhat bewildered expression, Qian Renxue knew she had spoken in vain.

She's fallen for a straight man who's also incredibly smart—what can she do with him?

"Emperor Xueye's health is failing; you may prepare to ascend the throne."

"Two years have passed so quickly!"

Lin Hai and the others couldn't go too far; they were simply using a slow-acting poison to gradually deplete Emperor Xueye's life force.

Moreover, due to the avalanche two years ago, Emperor Xueye has become increasingly exhausted, and his energy and spirit have been declining day by day. The reason he is still alive is entirely due to his willpower.

And so it is. How could the emperor of a perfectly good empire not covet the supreme power of the emperor?

"Hehehe, now you should worry about the countless imperial affairs that will arise once you have power."

"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown."

"Since you've already thought it through, then you should also take responsibility for these ordinary civilians, even though the empire is nominally supported by these Soul Master nobles."

"But in reality, the power of Soul Masters is limited, and the Empire mainly relies on the army composed of ordinary people."

"Moreover, most of those so-called nobles have become corrupt, and most of the current nobles are just enjoying the legacy of their ancestors."

"Even dragon slayers can become dragons," Lin Hai sighed.

"The nobility of the Heaven Dou Empire has become corrupt. It's time to cultivate some new nobles who are loyal to you. As for those nobles, we'll deal with them when the opportunity arises."

The existence of nobility is impossible to end on this continent. This continent possesses magical soul power, and even more so, soul masters who cultivate using soul power. These soul masters with soul power are inherently more noble than ordinary people.

It goes without saying that it's impossible for people to be completely fair to each other. The upper class enjoys good treatment because they have paid more than others and deserve to enjoy it.

Only this kind of hierarchical division driven by self-interest can motivate some people to strive. Otherwise, if everyone enjoys the same benefits, who would want to work hard? Wouldn't it be better to just lie around and relax?

However, it would be very troublesome to take action against these nobles now. This is because the conflicts of interest among these nobles are very complex, and moving one would have far-reaching consequences.

Only when they possess the power to crush everything can they completely change this situation.

In fact, if we think about it from another perspective, what Lin Hai Qian Renxue did was quite similar to what Bibi Dong did, but there are still fundamental differences between the two.

Bibi Dong wants to completely change everything on this continent and create a world where only those who can accept Yu Xiaogang can exist.

Bibi Dong targets the vast majority of people on the continent, while Lin Hai and Qian Renxue target corrupt nobles and evil people.

They envisioned building a relatively fair world, where ordinary people would be free from the dangers of war, the persecution of conflict, and the wanton killing of corrupt soul masters.

"Then let's smoothly navigate this transfer of power!" Qian Renxue looked towards the resting palace of Emperor Xueye in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

However, beneath the seemingly smooth transfer of power lies a turbulent undercurrent...

"Hmm!" In the Spirit Hall and the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong learned about Qian Renxue through her undercover agents.

"You may leave!"

The so-called spy disappeared from the spot the next moment.

After that spy left, she was left alone in the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong sat on the supreme throne that belonged to the Pope, her eyes closed in deep thought.

"Whoosh!" As Bibi Dong opened her eyes, an invisible force emerged, forming a wave of energy.

"Qian Renxue, my dear sister! Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so close to success!"

"Hmph!" Bibi Dong snorted coldly.

Bibi Dong will not let Qian Renxue have her way.

When Qian Renxue went to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire, Bibi Dong neither took the initiative nor refused, a typical example of a scumbag personality.

If Qian Renxue wanted to do it, Bibi Dong let her do it. In any case, it was in her best interest to do it either way until Qian Renxue succeeded.

But when Qian Renxue was about to succeed, Bibi Dong became unhappy.

If Qian Renxue really seizes power and control of the Heaven Dou Empire, how will she ever achieve her own goals?!

She already had some disagreements with Qian Renxue, and if Qian Renxue were to take control of the power of the Heavenly Dou Empire, she would be at a disadvantage.

After making up her mind, a sharp glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

It seems Bibi Dong is preparing to make a move, but it's unclear how exactly she'll do it. In any case, this whole affair must not involve her or the Spirit Hall behind her, otherwise it would weaken her control over the Spirit Hall.

……

Another point is that a year ago, Prince Xuexing voluntarily requested to go to the north. However, Lin Hai and Qian Renxue did not take this matter seriously.

As time went by, Emperor Xueye's health was truly failing.

As for the reason?

Of course, it was because Emperor Xueye had changed his usual behavior. He was no longer sickly and listless, but was full of energy and even organized a court assembly that had not been held for half a year!

However, those in the know understand that this was nothing more than a temporary resurgence!

Although Bibi Dong had this idea, Lin Hai had already been on guard against her.

The Heaven Dou Empire's Heaven Dou Royal Knights were under full martial law. In particular, Emperor Xue Ye was surrounded by his own people. Lin Hai's mental power covered the entire palace, and if anyone did anything strange, Lin Hai would immediately find out.

Emperor Xueye's brief moment of lucidity sent a message to the many ministers and nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire: Emperor Xueye had truly reached the end of his life.

Therefore, all these people are waiting for Xue Qinghe, the new leader of the Heavenly Dou Empire, to ascend the throne as emperor.

Several days later, Qian Renxue and Lin Hai succeeded. As for what happened behind the scenes, only Lin Hai and Qian Renxue themselves knew.

A seemingly peaceful transition of power is actually fraught with danger. This is also the first confrontation between Lin Hai Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. As expected, Bibi Dong's methods are not as simple as imagined.

While a seemingly smooth but actually complex power transition was taking place, Tang Hao was trying to bring Tang San back to the Haotian Sect and gain its approval.

If it weren't for Lin Hai, Tang Hao might have already lost an arm and a leg, but for the sake of his son Tang San's future, Tang Hao couldn't do that for the time being.

Because Lin Hai hasn't made a move since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, so many years have passed that many people have almost forgotten about this once-famous genius soul master. After all, time has passed, and there are new gossip news every day on the continent.

This is why Lin Hai's true strength became a secret known only to a very small group of people.

Tang Hao, on the one hand, was proud of his son Tang San's twin martial souls and innate full soul power, while on the other hand, he looked down on Lin Hai. It's truly baffling what he was thinking; he firmly believed that Lin Hai would never be a match for Tang San in the future.

Okay, according to conventional wisdom, he is right, but is Lin Hai an ordinary person? Obviously not.

No matter how Tang Hao thought about it, he would never have known that his so-called Haotian Douluo was no longer a threat to Lin Hai. The Haotian Hammer was powerful, the Ring-Exploding Technique was formidable, and the Haotian Sect's secret techniques were formidable, but if Lin Hai couldn't defeat Tang Hao, surely he could outrun him!
