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

After all, he is an agile, offensive type of Soul Master, how could he be defeated by a strength-based, offensive type of Soul Master?

"I'm not participating in the upcoming qualifiers. I'm going to go to Sunset Forest to hunt for a better spirit ring."

Ignoring the two glaring men, Yingmei left a message and turned to leave the fighting arena.

She hadn't reached that man's limit yet; she needed to obtain the most powerful spirit ring possible to defeat him, and she couldn't afford to delay.

"Mei'er, wait for me. I'll go with you. I also broke through yesterday."

Feng Aotian followed eagerly, while Huo Zhan, watching from behind, turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but could only stare helplessly.

It's his fault for not making a breakthrough, and the Blazing Fire team has already lost Shadow Charm. If I, as the captain, leave too, the upcoming matches will be very dangerous. It would be embarrassing if we couldn't make it into the qualifying rounds.

I'm still so angry!

"Tsk tsk, that move could even go toe-to-toe with my fifth soul skill."

On the main stands, Xue Zhan watched as Tian Hao sat down and praised him.

That move, Sword Twelve, caught his eye; it was a very powerful self-created soul skill with considerable potential.

"His Fusion Soul Skill only partially reached the level of a ten-thousand-year soul skill. It can only be considered a pseudo-ten-thousand-year soul skill. It is still inferior to a true ten-thousand-year soul skill. Otherwise, I would not have been able to destroy it head-on."

Tian Hao appeared very calm. He knew very well that he was not yet able to fight a Soul King head-on. A ten-thousand-year Soul Skill was far superior to a thousand-year Soul Skill.

Although Yingmei's Four Rings Fusion Technique is powerful, it is only a soul skill that infinitely pushes its power to the level of a ten-thousand-year soul skill. However, some of its characteristics cannot be created by quantitative change.

At least the quantity of Ying Mei's four spirit rings is not enough. If the first two spirit rings were replaced with thousand-year-old ones, it would be more like it. In that case, he would definitely turn around and run away.

He can't directly confront a true ten-thousand-year soul skill right now, unless he upgrades the counterfeit Holy Spirit Sword Technique to the level of Sword Eighteen and condenses and fuses eighteen substantial sword energies that represent his own limits.

In other words, one must use the mind ten times to practice the method of distraction control.

"It's about to be upgraded."

With anticipation in his heart, Tian Hao was naturally not satisfied with just having seven uses for his mind, and he never relaxed his practice of the method of controlling distraction.

The highest level of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's method of controlling distraction is the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, but this does not mean that the limit of the method of controlling distraction is to use the mind in seven different ways.

Instead, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only needs to develop to the level of Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, because they only have seven soul skills. Even if they develop and cultivate the Mind Control Method to the level of Mind Divided into Eight Uses, it will be useless.

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's later improvements to the method of controlling distraction mainly focused on simplifying the cultivation process and reducing its difficulty.

It was precisely because of this that Tian Hao was able to quickly reach the level of "using the mind in seven ways" after obtaining Ning Fengzhi's notes.

He is currently using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's method of controlling distraction as a foundation to advance towards the eight uses of the mind, and he is about to break through.

Xue Zhan nodded in agreement, acknowledging that the previous Fusion Ring Technique was indeed lacking. He then grinned mischievously and said, "Two people have already broken through to level 50, and they've both set their sights on you. You're in for a tough time in the upcoming promotion matches."

With the emergence of strange changes in the world, the cultivation of Soul Masters has become easier and easier. In the last Soul Master Competition, a Soul King appeared. This year's Soul Master Competition is even more intense, and the competition is becoming more and more exciting.

"At worst, I'll just keep giving up and finishing last, as long as I get through the qualifiers, that's fine."

Tian Hao didn't care. The qualifying rounds were just to gain some advantages in the finals. In essence, as long as he passed the qualifying rounds, he would have the qualification to participate in the finals.

"All you do is run away!"

Xueye scoffed. Last time, this guy could come up with the idea of ​​running away at sea, so it wasn't surprising that he would avoid fighting in the qualifying rounds this time.

Tian Hao, who was ridiculed, was very upset and needed to vent.

He took out his waist zither and strummed the strings to play a melody while singing a cappella.

"Why did I receive a letter in the early hours of the morning? I must have been foolish enough to be deceived, as they invited me to a wedding..."

Seeing Tian Hao start singing again, the people on the main stands listened with great interest, as it was a way to relax.

After watching so many matches, it's gotten a bit boring.

This word sounds familiar, though.

"Your Highness, this is another version for our guests, specially prepared for you. We hope you can sing it at my and Yue'er's wedding to bless us."

Please take a look and point out any areas that need improvement, and offer your valuable suggestions.

After finishing his song, Tian Hao put his arm around Xue Ye's shoulder again, looking like he was best buddy to her.

"Crack!"

He snapped another pen in half, then took out a spare pen in the snowy night and continued reviewing government documents.

Emperor Xuesheng witnessed this scene and felt gratified.

Indeed, hardship is the best whetstone for a man. Look how quickly Ye'er has improved during this time. If he had been treated like this back then, he would have exploded long ago.

It seems we can further increase the difficulty of the assessment for Ye'er. He must cultivate a perfect emperor for the empire in his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xuesheng felt a heavy sense of mission.

Chapter 192 Tang Zhen's Soul Power

"General, may I have a seat with Sect Leader Tang?"

After finding joy amidst the pain of the snowy night, Tian Hao asked Xue Zhan for instructions.

Despite his constant self-destructive behavior, he always maintains a basic sense of propriety.

The fact that he's sitting here is due to Xue Zhan's appreciation and recruitment, but it doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants here. He has to ask Xue Zhan for permission before doing anything.

"Someone, bring a chair over to Sect Leader Tang."

Xue Zhan gave Tian Hao a strange look, but did not refuse. He then gestured to the guards to bring a chair.

However, Emperor Xuesheng's old eyes gleamed slightly, knowing that the young man had turned his attention to Tang Zhen.

In comparison, he also hoped that the boy could marry Tang Zhen's daughter and ruin the marriage alliance between Ye'er and Haotian Sect.

There's no way around it; the Clear Sky Sect is still too powerful at this stage. Plus, there's the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, whose whereabouts are unknown. Cooperating with such a powerful being is not a wise choice.

Of course, cooperating with the Clear Sky Sect is not out of the question, but it would be best to wait until the Clear Sky Sect has been further suppressed or even severely damaged by the Spirit Hall before stepping in to offer timely assistance. At the same time, they would also have the ability to control the weakened Clear Sky Sect.

In short, cooperation based on their shared destiny is good cooperation, and cooperation that doesn't is bad cooperation.

After the chair was brought up, Tian Hao naturally sat down next to his father-in-law and offered him a smile.

"Father-in-law, what do you think of my sword technique, Sword Twelve? It was developed by me based on the description of the Great Sumeru Hammer of our Clear Sky Sect in the Soul Master world. Please give me your guidance."

Adopting a humble and eager-to-learn attitude, Tian Hao genuinely hoped that his father-in-law could offer some guidance.

He did indeed draw some inspiration from the Great Sumeru Hammer when creating the knock-off version of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, but unfortunately, that was a divine skill with very high operational requirements, and at this stage he could only learn a little bit of its essence.

If I could get guidance from Tang Zhen, I would definitely be able to make further progress.

“I am not your father-in-law, and you should not damage my daughter’s reputation, or I will not hesitate to ruin you.”

Tang Zhen suppressed the urge to smash that thing to death and warned it.

"Don't be so formal. Yue'er and I are in love, and I've even thought of names for our future children."

This Holy Spirit Sword Technique is the dowry I've prepared. I don't ask for much; my father-in-law just needs to provide the secret techniques of the Great Sumeru Hammer as part of the dowry.

Tian Hao, in a very familiar manner, discussed the betrothal gifts and dowry with his father-in-law, but what he heard made everyone present twitch their eyebrows.

You really dare to say that, kid.

Tang Zhen remained expressionless, ignoring the question and pretending not to hear it.

He had witnessed the misery of the previous snowy night and naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

That thing was just too annoying, and in the end I couldn't stand it anymore, so I slapped it on the shoulder.

"As long as I live, you will never have the chance to see Yuehua."

As he spoke, he injected a stream of soul power into her body. The powerful soul pressure not only suppressed and stagnated the soul power in her body, but also used the "Shaking" technique of the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian to crack the bones in her shoulder and left arm.

However, this was exactly what Tian Hao wanted. He didn't come here to court death; he came to provoke Tang Zhen into making a move.

In such a high-profile setting, Tang Zhen certainly wouldn't actually fight back and kill himself; at most, he would resort to underhanded tactics.

Although this underhanded move was a bit too much, it was still within my tolerance.

He guided the life force of the Blue Silver Divine Tree to circulate within his body, rapidly repairing the cracks in his bones. At the same time, he enveloped Tang Zhen's soul power and temporarily sealed it within his spiritual sea, to be dealt with upon returning.

Having achieved his goal, Tian Hao stopped causing trouble and quietly watched the match below. Only after the match ended did he stand up and bow to Tang Zhen.

"I will keep my father-in-law's words in mind."

Since his father-in-law said he wouldn't let him see Yue'er as long as he lived, then let him die.

As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. As a filial son, Tian Hao naturally had to listen to his father-in-law, send him to his death, and then conveniently inherit the estate.

Also, we can't let our father-in-law be alone in the Western Paradise. It would be best to send our eldest and second brothers-in-law up there as well, so that the whole family can be together and not fight over the inheritance.

Moreover, these were all said by his father-in-law himself, so Yue'er shouldn't blame him in the future.

Frowning as he watched the thing leave, Tang Zhen had a vague sense of unease.

"I'll let you live a few more days."

After taking a deep look, Tang Zhen got up and left.

It's indeed difficult for him to make a move here in Tiandou City, but the finals are not held in Tiandou City, so there will be plenty of opportunities on the way there and back.

However, we can't act openly; we need to plan carefully and, ideally, shift the blame to another force.

Furthermore, Xueye should be allowed to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that the betrothal gifts can be fulfilled and the marriage alliance between the two families can be formally established.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi took a deep look at the departing Tang Zhen and smiled meaningfully.

It's not impossible to cooperate with an opponent if there's a need.

Moreover, the three sects above them are closely connected. If Haotian Sect is in trouble, how could Ning Fengzhi stand idly by?

Regardless of the thoughts of the various parties involved, after returning to the military camp, Tian Hao began to deal with Tang Zhen's soul power.

"The compatibility between blood relatives is just high."

When Tang Zhen brought his soul power close to Tang Wei, he indeed sensed a faint resonance.

Since obtaining Tang Wei, he has been studying him and has gained a deep understanding of his heavy sword martial spirit.

Qian Daoliu was right. This heavy sword did indeed inherit the heavy and hard characteristics of the Haotian Hammer, but the inheritance was not perfect. Or rather, Tang Wei's cultivation was not high enough to perfectly bring out those two characteristics.

That's why he had the idea of ​​plotting against Tang Zhen's soul power, in order to try and see if he could perfectly activate those two characteristics, so that he could carry out his next plan.

"Something's not right with this soul power."
