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

It is important to know that the quality of a Martial Soul is equivalent to the cultivation aptitude and speed of a Soul Master, and the quality of a Martial Soul is related to the amount of original power it possesses.

The more and stronger the primal power, the higher the quality of the martial soul, the better the soul master's aptitude, and the faster the cultivation speed.

As the first junior brother to successfully navigate that path, even he couldn't fathom how much his martial soul quality had improved.

"Now that you have broken through to level 30, there is something I need to hear. It is a conjecture and discovery we made while researching and improving the Soul Core system."

As if she had thought of something, Chen Xin felt it was time to tell her junior brother.

Although they haven't verified that matter yet, nor are they capable of doing so, if it were their junior brother, he should be able to verify it.

"Please speak, senior brother."

Sitting up straight, Tian Hao listened attentively.

He initially only proposed the idea of ​​condensing soul cores, but Qian Daoliu and others took the lead in developing and perfecting it, and he ultimately reaped the benefits.

However, the requirements for condensing a soul core are still too high, and he is not qualified yet, so he has not paid attention to it for a long time and does not know how far they have deduced it.

"There are three special hurdles in the cultivation of a Soul Master, which will cause the Martial Soul and the Soul Master to resonate particularly strongly, and even cause changes in the Soul Master's body. One is level 30, one is level 70, and one is level 90."

When the soul power reaches level 30, the martial soul resonates with the soul master for the first time, and the power of the martial soul bloodline will also become active, further strengthening the martial soul.

This is the main reason why one cannot break through to the next level unless their soul power level reaches level 30 before the age of 20.

Because after the age of twenty, the power of one's bloodline basically stabilizes, and it is difficult to activate it through self-cultivation alone.

When your soul power reaches level 70, your martial soul bloodline will become active again, much more so than when it reaches level 30.

Because of this activity, no matter what kind of soul ring is refined, it will eventually be eroded and affected by the bloodline power of the martial soul, and become the soul skill of the martial soul's true form.

Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, no matter what soul ring it absorbs, it will eventually be determined by the domineering changes of the martial soul.

After reaching level 90 and becoming a Title Douluo, a Soul Master's Martial Soul and Bloodline Power will resonate further, influencing the improvement and transformation of all aspects of the body, and even extending lifespan.

It has now been basically confirmed that Soul Masters who reach level 90 can condense a Soul Core as long as they have sufficient mental power.

But this is not the limit. We speculate that as long as one's mental strength is strong enough, it is possible to condense a soul core at the level 70 Soul Saint stage.

Following this line of thought, we speculate that the level 30 hurdle should also be quite special. Don't try to break through your soul power level yet; see if you can condense a soul core at level 30. Perhaps you'll reap unexpected rewards.

Chen Xin expressed his conjecture, but he was not entirely sure about it and had no way to verify it at the moment.

Condensing a soul core at level 99 requires extremely strong mental power, while condensing a soul core at level 90 requires even more.

They once had a spirit-type soul master who had just broken through to level 90 condense a soul core. Although he hadn't succeeded when he left Wuhun City, there were signs of condensation, proving that it was possible to condense a soul core at level 90, at most requiring even higher levels, especially in terms of mental strength.

They then speculated that the condensation of the soul core could be achieved even earlier, and ultimately chose the Soul Saint stage, especially at the critical juncture of not yet obtaining the seventh soul ring at level seventy.

As for the hurdle of level 30, although we've made some guesses, we don't have the ability to verify them. Currently, only our junior brother is qualified to tinker with it.

I'll try my best.

After listening, Tian Hao scratched his head. He wasn't very confident about it either, but he could only try his best.

Chapter 189 Subduing the Enemy Without Fighting

Although he participated in the Soul Master Competition, Tian Hao did not put down his own cultivation. Even when he sat with Xue Ye at the competition venue, he was still thinking about how to improve the fusion of the two grass sword martial souls.

Although he has already broken through the barrier of sword intent to boost his soul power fusion, he has only broken through 60%. If he wants to truly rely on his own strength to defeat the strongest academy teams in a one-on-one battle, such as the royal academy teams of the two great empires and the team of the Spirit Hall, those are all powerful teams led by Soul Kings.

Even if the largest investor can achieve final victory through underhanded tactics, there are still some hidden dangers. If they can win through hard power, the effect will definitely be better, and no one can say anything about it.

This also helps avoid raising suspicions about any connection between oneself, the Illusionary Sound Academy, and the Spirit Hall.

There are many suspicious people these days. The slightest flaw will make people unconsciously make connections and fill in the blanks. This is how Qian Renxue was exposed in the future.

After nearly half a month of this calm, he finally faced a formidable opponent.

"Now, please welcome the Elephant Armor Team and the Phantom Sound Team to the stage."

The host announced the two teams competing in the next match and signaled for them to enter the arena.

"Can you cut it?"

Upon hearing that they would be facing off against the Elephant Armor Team, Xue Zhan sat up straight, and even Xue Ye, who had developed dark circles under his eyes from staying up late with Ao Ye, couldn't help but smile.

Let's see how you win this time.

He knew a bit about the Academy; they were all tough opponents, and each had a powerful control-type soul skill to compensate for their lack of speed.

No one can defeat the Elephant Armor Team head-on. Even the people of the Haotian Sect would find it difficult to defeat them unless a team composed entirely of Haotian Sect members came.

“Other teams are making tactical arrangements to target me, and I have also studied those teams. Moreover, victory does not necessarily have to be achieved through battle.”

With a light laugh, Tian Hao walked out of the main stands again, making his high-class entrance by stepping on the sword-qi steps.

"You are very strong. I might not be your match in a one-on-one fight, but today you are facing our Elephant Team."

The captain of the Elephant Armor Team, Hu Yankai, was extremely serious. He acknowledged the opponent's strength but still had absolute confidence.

Because the fighting style displayed by their opponents could not counter them; on the contrary, they had ways to counter their opponents.

"You'll only know after you've tried it."

Tian Hao was equally confident.

After consulting with both sides, the referee decisively announced the start of the match.

"Possessed by a diamond mammoth!"

All seven members of the Elephant Armor Team were imbued with their Martial Souls, causing their already exaggerated physiques to expand even further. In particular, Hu Yankai, the team leader, reached an absurd three meters in size, resembling an iron tower up close and exuding a sense of oppression.

"Sword thrust!"

Tian Hao did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he inserted the Purple Gold Grass Sword into the ground, and a huge amount of soul power surged out through the Purple Gold Grass Sword and spread rapidly along the ground.

At the same time, the sword domain expanded, guiding the soul power in the ground to condense into sword energies that protruded ten centimeters above the ground.

"trample!"

Seeing the sword energy rapidly spreading from the ground, Hu Yankai, as the team leader, hurriedly unleashed his third soul skill. He raised his right leg and stomped down hard, and his heavy soul power transformed into a shockwave that spread and surged within a ten-meter radius, blocking the spread of the sword energy.

"..."

Looking at the sword energy covering the entire arena except for their own side, the Elephant Armor team wanted to curse.

This tactic is despicable.

Given the density of the sword energy on the ground, if someone were to rush over and start fighting, their feet would definitely be ruined.

Even Captain Hu Yankai, who possesses a soul skill that works on the ground, felt a pain in his liver. Although his third soul skill, Stomp, could clear the sword energy on a section of the ground, it only covered a radius of ten meters.

We can't keep using our third soul skill to clear the way, can we?

Moreover, they can't just stand there and let them rush over and gang up on them. If they really start running around the field, they can definitely wear them down.

That wasn't all. Tian Hao suddenly jumped, stepping on the continuously condensing sword energy, and finally arrived at a height of more than ten meters in the air.

This scene made the Elephant Armor team even more miserable.

"Although your methods were a bit underhanded, your Elephant Armor team is too strong. I cannot defeat you in a head-on confrontation at this stage."

Looking down at the Elephant Armor team below, Tian Hao admitted that he was powerless to confront them head-on.

The Elephant Armor Team is known for its defense, and few Soul Masters of the same level can break through its defenses; at least in a head-on confrontation, it is difficult to win.

He's currently focusing on speed, without adding any power, so he can't withstand it.

These words made Hu Yankai's expression improve slightly; at least they acknowledged their strength before resorting to this tactic.

"We concede defeat."

After dispelling the spirit possession, Hu Yankai, as the team captain, gestured to the referee.

This battle is unsustainable. Forcing it would inevitably result in significant losses, impacting tomorrow's battle and making it a losing proposition.

Moreover, quite a few academy teams have already lost to that person, including Shenfeng Academy. It's not shameful for their Elephant Armor team to lose once.

"You're too kind!"

As he landed, Tian Hao looked apologetic.

"I want to have a good fight with you in the qualifying rounds."

Hu Yankai said seriously, "It is truly a pity that I cannot fight that person."

See you in the qualifying rounds!

With a smile and a nod, Tian Hao used his sword domain as a guide to draw back the countless sword energies on the ground, transforming them into soul power and absorbing them into his body before returning to the main stands.

"Every time I see it, it's so breathtaking."

On the side of the stands of the Blazing Fire Team, Feng Aotian, who was stabilizing himself with his wings, complained that he really couldn't understand how that person was able to take back the soul power he had released.

If it were a soul skill effect, it would be understandable, but it's neither a soul ring skill nor a soul bone skill; it's something that someone did on their own.

Even he found it incredibly difficult to deal with such an opponent.

"The only option is to use a fusion ring."

Yingmei could only pin her hopes on her own Fusion Ring cultivation. She had exceptional talent, reaching level 49 at the age of 24. In fact, if she hadn't devoted some of her attention to Fusion Ring cultivation, she would definitely be a Soul King by now.

"There is another way to defeat him."

Feng Aotian suddenly spoke, his words revealing absolute confidence, drawing the attention of the Blazing Fire team members.

"Let me temporarily join your Blazing Fire Team. With Mei'er and me working together, we're sure to defeat him."

As he spoke, he gazed at Yingmei with infatuation. Feng Aotian had never given up on his feelings for Yingmei, and he was even willing to be her mistress.

Moreover, he and Yingmei are a perfect match. Their own Kamikaze team are all wind-attribute, so although they can develop soul skill synergy skills, they mainly enhance the range of their attacks.

To put it simply, it's a matter of quantitative change, not qualitative change.

But joining forces with Yingmei is different; the fusion of wind and fire can bring about a qualitative change.

"wishful thinking."

Huo Zhan immediately blocked someone's inappropriate gaze and decisively refused.

Putting aside the question of whether this proposal would invite trouble, it would be rejected by the organizers alone.

This precedent cannot be broken, otherwise the Soul Master Competition will be in chaos in the future.

“Our Blazing Academy doesn’t need that kind of victory, and I can win.”
