Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Just as Count Xuelong was about to speak again to persuade him, he suddenly seemed to sense something, abruptly turned his head to look out the window, his face filled with horror.

Immediately afterwards, a massive soul pressure swept over, causing Xueye's soul power to stagnate considerably, even from a great distance.

"It's a Title Douluo, Your Highness. Be prepared, he might be after you."

With his martial spirit possessing him, Earl Snow Dragon was extremely solemn.

Although he is a Soul Douluo, seemingly only one major rank below a Title Douluo, their strengths are worlds apart. Not to mention, his soul power level is only 81, far from reaching the peak of the Soul Douluo level, let alone being comparable to a Title Douluo.

"Let's go out and take a look. Since they've revealed themselves so openly, they shouldn't be targeting me. But this sharp edge, like a sword pointing at me, could it be that Sword Douluo from the Battle Soul Sect?"

He got up and walked outside on the snowy night, pondering the identity of the person who had come.

"It shouldn't be Sword Douluo; he doesn't have that kind of killing intent."

Earl Xuelong, who was following behind, shook his head. He had seen Sword Douluo Chenxin make a move before and was deeply impressed by it. It was very different from the one he was using now, so it shouldn't be Sword Douluo Chenxin.

At the same time, several hundred meters away at the academy gate, a sword aura shot into the sky, accompanied by a terrifying soul pressure that alarmed the entire Tianyin City. The higher one's soul power level, the more terrifying the sword aura and soul pressure could be felt.

"Title Douluo!"

Countless Soul Masters cried out in surprise, then hurriedly ran towards the location of the sword energy. Some even jumped onto the rooftops and leaped from one rooftop to another.

Those who sensed it most strongly were naturally the various powerful individuals within the Heavenly Sound Academy, who, led by Dean Sos, swiftly arrived at the academy's gate.

"Sea Flow Cloud!"

Looking at the three people standing outside the academy gate, Soth solemnly uttered the name.

That man still managed to become a Title Douluo, but I'm not bad either.

"You shouldn't have broken through, and you shouldn't have come."

With a cold, sharp voice, Soth felt a surge of murderous intent.

He had actually been secretly watching Hai Liuyun all these years, and only felt at ease after confirming that Hai Liuyun could not become a Title Douluo.

Unfortunately, some people insist on making things difficult for themselves, even to the point of suicide, so we can only give in to their wishes.

Without a word, he swung his condensed sword energy down, aiming directly at the plaque of Tianyin Academy.

Since Tianyin is no longer pure, it's better to kill her.

"you dare!"

Seeing that Hai Liuyun actually dared to make a move, Soth was furious. He manifested a harp through his martial soul, his fingers rapidly plucking the strings, while his soul rings flashed continuously, creating various sonic attacks to bombard the descending sword energy.

Although the sonic attack is invisible, its power should not be underestimated.

Moreover, judging from the nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—Sos is also a Title Douluo, and must have broken through for a long time, with his spirit pressure even stronger than Hai Liuyun's.

However, when faced with Soth's soul skill attacks, the slashing sword energy was like a collapsing mountain, its momentum was not hindered in the slightest, and all the soul skill attacks were also suppressed.

How could that be?

Soth's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight, and his old face contorted in shock.

How is this possible? I used several of my soul skills to attack, but I still couldn't break through that sword energy.

How can this be?

"on!"

Upon seeing this, the vice dean and others who had arrived with Soth all manifested their martial spirits and used their spirit skills to bombard the slowly descending sword energy.

Although they are not titled Douluo, they are still Soul Douluo and Soul Saint, and the power of their Soul Skills is extremely strong. Even a titled Douluo would have to temporarily avoid them.

However, although the soul skills unleashed by so many people further weakened the sword energy, they still could not reverse its downward momentum. Under the bloodshot gazes of everyone, the sword energy struck the plaque above the gate of Tianyin Academy, splitting it in two and causing it to fall.

"It's really you!"

Hai Liuyun appeared before Soth in an instant, his longsword aimed at Soth's throat, his chilling killing intent undisguised.

He sensed a familiar aura from the opponent's attack, an aura he had once sensed from his wife.

"Hai Liuyun, do you want to challenge our Tianyin Academy?"

Vice Dean Matt shouted in a weak voice, but inwardly he was terrified.

Hai Liuyun's sword strike was too powerful; even with all of them attacking, they couldn't completely stop it.

Although his soul power level was only level 82, he was still a Soul Douluo, and his eighth soul skill had reached the age of 90,000 years, yet it was still broken.

How could he be so strong?

Soth, whose face turned pale as he was pointed at by the longsword, knew that there was no way to end things peacefully today after sensing Hai Liuyun's chilling killing intent, and thus decisively erupted.

Before he could unleash his soul skill again, a sword aura suddenly shot out from the blade, piercing his neck and severing his spinal cord.

This is the nature of a Soul Master. Compared to the destructive power of their Soul Skills, their bodies are far too fragile to defend against such attacks.

Following behind, Tian Hao stepped forward and took the out-of-control Soth into his spiritual sea, then used the roots of the Blue Silver Divine Tree to wrap around and suppress it.

He had read Soth's intelligence. Logically speaking, even if the difficulty of breaking through to the next level of a Soul Master had been reduced due to the changes in the world, with his Martial Soul potential, he could only barely reach the Soul Douluo level in his lifetime, and there was absolutely no possibility of him becoming a Title Douluo.

But since the other party has become a Title Douluo, he must have received external support.

The most likely candidate is a soul bone, and there is definitely more than one.

Soul bones are very helpful for a soul master's cultivation, especially those obtained fresh from a soul beast, which can improve physical fitness and soul power. Even those that have been refined multiple times can still be of great benefit.

Tian Hao even speculated that Tang Xiao's ability to raise his soul power level to level 97 at such a young age was due to the soul bone left behind by his father after his death, and Tang Hao's situation was similar.

"you!"

Seeing that Hai Liuyun actually dared to kill the dean in public and even went so far as to take the body, Matt was so angry that he trembled all over and his face turned fierce, but he dared not make a move.

After killing his enemy Soth, Hai Liuyun's state of mind improved further, which led to a further transformation in his soul power, which increased from level 90 to level 91.

The even more powerful soul pressure erupted, causing the already furious Matt and the others to freeze in their tracks, their faces turning ashen, so angry they wanted to curse.

How did he break through?

The previous burst of power was already strong enough, but now it has broken through again. How can we fight against it?

Chapter 150 No Emotions

"I have come here to fulfill the oath of my ancestors, to start the Dual-Tone Competition, and to reclaim what belongs to us."

"Killing Soth was just a personal vendetta. Do I need to tell you what that vendetta was?"

With his sword sheathed, Hai Liuyun turned his gaze to Matt and the others.

When their predecessors from the Illusionary Sound Academy separated from the Heavenly Sound Academy, they made a vow with the original Heavenly Sound Academy. This trip is to fulfill that vow and start the Dual Sound Competition.

"Very well, very well! I'd like to see how you compare!"

Gritting his teeth, Matt agreed. He couldn't refuse because the oath truly existed and was registered with the Spirit Hall; there was no way to deny it.

As for the fact that Dean Soth was killed, it's hard to say.

Otherwise, if what happened back then were exposed, the reputation of their Tianyin Academy would be ruined.

Although Tianyin Academy is now rooted in the aristocratic circle, it is still a part of the Soul Master world and must abide by the rules of the Soul Master world.

Ignoring the angry Matt and the others, Hai Liuyun stepped into Tianyin Academy, with Tian Hao following closely behind.

Only then did the city's Soul Masters, who had rushed to the scene and witnessed the entire event, come to their senses and immediately began to make a ruckus and discuss the matter.

"The dean of Tianyin Academy was killed? That was a titled Douluo."

"Even their own dean has been killed, yet the people of Tianyin Academy haven't started a fight."

"That soul pressure just now...did that person break through?"

"Oath? Dual-tone competition? I've never heard of that."

"Wait a minute, doesn't that look like Sword Saint Gai Zongheng? Why is he causing trouble at Tianyin Academy?"

"That old man looks like the young man's teacher. I almost didn't recognize him after he shaved his beard and combed his hair. And the last one looks like Zhao Tieshan, the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall of Tianyin City."

……

Everyone had many questions in their minds, and they all used their own methods to sneak into Tianyin Academy to continue watching the excitement.

Although Tianyin Academy has the support of many noble forces, they are unable to stop so many Soul Masters from infiltrating, and they have no energy to do so, because their greatest enemy at the moment is the Dean of Huanyin Academy.

Not only is the opponent incredibly strong, nearly defeating their own dean in an instant, but they also intend to hold the Dual Sound Competition according to their oath. They must have some confidence. If they were to win the Dual Sound Competition, their Tianyin Academy would suffer a great loss.

"Is swordsmanship that driven by extreme emotion really that fierce?"

Hidden in the shadows, Guang Ling was also greatly shocked by Hai Liuyun's breakthrough. You must know that in the three months of practicing swordsmanship on the mountain, Hai Liuyun's sword intent had progressed at a rapid pace. Especially after he comprehended his own Acacia Sword Intent with the help of Tian Hao's sword intent and the immortal herb Acacia Heartbreak Red, his improvement in strength made Guang Ling envious.

Previously, it was only the sword intent that was being enhanced, but now it has even led to an increase in soul power.

If things continue like this, they'll probably be able to challenge for the Super Douluo title within a few years.

Is this the swordsmanship that is so deeply emotional?

……

"Teacher, is everything alright?"

As he followed his teacher, Tian Hao asked questions through a mental link.

That sword strike was no ordinary attack; besides the sword intent, it was mostly driven by immense soul power.

"The middle dantian consumed 50% of its soul power, but with the support of the illusory soul core, it recovered very quickly."

After giving a brief reply, Hai Liuyun couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Spirit Hall's secret techniques.

After gaining the approval of the Grand Master, he was arranged to develop his middle and lower dantian.

After filling it with soul power, his own soul power reserves reached a level that ordinary people could not imagine.

That's why the sword strike that erupted earlier was able to shatter so many soul skill attacks, and intimidate everyone with a single strike.

Will they eventually admit defeat?

Feeling somewhat relieved, he then asked the question again.

He was very confident about the upcoming double-tone competition, but what would happen after the victory was hard to say.

According to the oath made by the two academies, whoever wins will take possession of the academy emblem. Tianyin Academy won the battle back then and has held the emblem ever since.

That badge is of great significance, and Tianyin Academy will never hand it over. Otherwise, they won't even be qualified to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition, which would be a significant blow to their reputation.
