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

Suddenly sensing something, Tian Hao carefully sensed Tang Zhen's soul power, and finally used the ability of his martial soul to shrink his mental thoughts to a subtle level for observation, and soon made a discovery.

"Is Tang Zhen about to break through to level 99?"

Startled, Tian Hao realized that Tang Zhen's soul power had exceeded the limit of level 98 and was moving towards level 99. He figured it wouldn't be long before he broke through and reached the peak of level 99.

"Let me speed you up a bit."

Suppressing his idea of ​​immediately guiding Tang Zhen's soul power to merge with Tang Wei's, Tian Hao guided his life divine power to envelop and nurture this soul power, and used his life evolution ability to promote its further transformation.

If Tang Zhen showed no signs of breaking through, he naturally couldn't use his life evolution ability to help him improve. But since Tang Zhen had already broken through the limit of level 98 and was moving towards level 99, all I needed to do was give him a push.

Simply put, Tang Zhen has achieved a qualitative change; all that's left is to complete the quantitative change.

After arranging Tang Zhen's soul power, Tian Hao went to his junior brother Chen Xin's tent and told him about his discovery.

"He did indeed break through."

Although surprised, Chen Xin was not taken aback.

Tang Zhen is, after all, the son of Haotian Douluo Tang Chen, and possesses a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone. In addition, with the divine power brought about by the changes in heaven and earth, it is not surprising that he broke through to level 99.

"I will send the message back as soon as possible."

Chen Xin expressed his understanding. Now that it was confirmed that Tang Zhen was about to break through to become a peak Douluo, the plan against the Haotian Sect had to be changed. A perfect kill must be arranged to eliminate them completely.

Chapter 193 Supreme Defense

There aren't many teams in the Tiandou region that Tian Hao cares about. The Five Elements Academy is the key, followed by the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Regardless of the problems within the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, it never skimps on cultivating top talents. Even though the strongest among them are recruited into the main team, the members of the vice-team are not weak either, and are not much worse than the five major elemental academies.

At least this year's Royal Fighting Vice Team is not bad, having not lost a single game since the start of the competition.

Of course, the key point is not about any one person in it.

"The Haotian Hammer!"

Tian Hao's gaze fell on the most burly young man in the Royal Fighting Vice Team, and his fighting spirit surged.

That person was a member of the Haotian Sect, and moreover, a Soul King. Such cultivation level should be considered outstanding among the younger generation of the Haotian Sect.

"I'm curious, our Haotian Sect used to support the Star Luo Empire, but now we've come to the Heaven Dou Empire. Is this really a good thing to do?"

Tian Hao asked curiously. According to his intelligence, although the Haotian Sect had not openly expressed its support for the Xingluo Empire, it had always maintained an ambiguous relationship with it, but now it had sided with the Tiandou Empire.

I really don't know what the Star Luo Empire is thinking.

"Our Haotian Sect has never supported anyone before, and besides, who are you to us? Sister Yuehua will never marry you."

Tang Qiang coldly rebuked them, saying that their Haotian Sect had never truly expressed support for any empire; at most, there had been some transactions. Neither of the two great empires was qualified to ask for their support.

If it weren't for the changes brought about by the anomalies in the heavens and earth, the pressure from the Spirit Hall, and the excessive gifts from Crown Prince Xueye, they wouldn't have openly expressed their support for the Heaven Dou Empire.

"You must be Yue'er's cousin, that is, my brother-in-law. I'll hold back a bit later and make sure you lose gracefully."

With a change of expression, Tian Hao put on a friendly look, genuinely treating Tang Qiang as his brother-in-law.

"Do I need you to let me win? Your invincibility ends here."

He proudly manifested his martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, with five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—spinning beneath his feet.

Tang Qiang admitted that the thing opposite him was a strong person, arguably the strongest person below the Soul King level, but he was only invincible at the Soul Sect level. Against a Soul King, he would not be easily defeated, but he would definitely have no chance of winning.

Not to mention that his Clear Sky Hammer is a top-tier martial soul, making him stronger than other soul masters. From the start of the competition until now, no one has been his match.

"Since you say so, brother-in-law, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Tian Hao nodded seriously, respecting his brother-in-law's choice; he would cripple him in a moment.

Not to mention that Xue Zhan had previously indicated that he should severely injure Tang Qiang, preventing him from continuing to participate in the subsequent competitions, thereby eliminating the Huang Dou deputy team.

Because the deputy captain of the Royal Fighting Team was one of Prince Xueye's men, Tang Qiang was able to be temporarily placed in the team.

Eliminating Tang Qiang and preventing him from participating in the subsequent qualifying rounds and the finals would be the biggest blow to the cooperation between Crown Prince Xueye and Haotian Sect.

Even when he was trying to fool Emperor Xuesheng in the military camp, that person made a subtle indication of it.

Emperor Xuesheng may also want to cooperate and form an alliance with Haotian Sect, but definitely not now.

"Let's clear the area first!"

Without saying another word, Tian Hao raised the Purple Gold Grass Sword, and almost all of his soul power surged into it, manifesting a sword aura that expanded at an extremely fast speed, reaching a size of a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

However, compared to the previous Sword Twelve, this one, formed directly with soul power using the Purple Gold Grass Sword, is much more illusory and doesn't seem to shatter at the slightest touch.

And indeed, when it swelled to a height of 100 meters, before the deputy captain of the Royal Fighting Team could even make a move, the sword energy shattered.

At the same time, Tian Hao expanded his sword domain, using it to guide the shattered sword energy to reawaken. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into countless new sword energies, densely covering the entire arena.

"It's a bit difficult not to see Junjian."

After catching his breath, Tian Hao missed the Jianjun Sword.

Although the Sword of the King has long since become spiritualized, it still retains its shattered form, making it much easier to use this move based on it.

Now, relying solely on sword intent and sword domain has increased the difficulty by several levels.

If I hadn't mastered the skill of dividing my mind into eight functions the day before yesterday, I really wouldn't have been able to handle something of this scale.

"Gudu!"

Many people couldn't help but swallow hard as they looked at the sky filled with purple-gold sword energy.

An offensive of this scale could probably only be achieved with a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill.

The Kamikaze team felt this most deeply because it was about as powerful as their first set of linked soul skills.

"fall!"

Without the slightest delay, Tian Hao waited until all the sword energy stabilized before slashing down with his sword. The purple-gold sword energy that had briefly floated in the sky fell almost simultaneously, heading straight for the deputy captain of the Royal Fighting Team.

"Guardian of Haotian!"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Tang Qiang dared not be careless. He unleashed his second soul skill, rapidly wielding the Clear Sky Hammer. The black soul power was drawn into a rotating shield that enveloped him.

Although it was only his second soul skill, when he integrated it into the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, it not only became more defensive but also combined offense and defense, making it perfectly capable of defending against area attacks that were numerous but of average quality.

Sure enough, all the falling sword energy was shattered as soon as it touched the ground, unable to penetrate at all.

Tang Qiang is fine, but the situation is not so optimistic for the Royal Fighting Team 2.

Although the individual sword energy attacks are not very strong, there are too many of them, and not everyone has a defensive soul skill.

After a barrage of swords, four of the six Royal Fighting Vice Team members were gone.

It wasn't destroyed, but rescued by the referee and others at the last moment.

After all, those who can enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy all have considerable backgrounds and status, so they can't afford to fail here.

Before the remaining two could react, twelve tangible sword energies attacked, six for each of them.

One of them held out until the defensive soul skill reached its time limit, but was instantly defeated, and all the sword energy was then concentrated on Shi Cheng, the last captain of the Royal Fighting Team 2.

This is a beast spirit possessor, with a thick tortoise shell on its back and thick keratin on its legs and head. Even with real sword energy, it is difficult to leave obvious wounds, and there has been no blood yet.

"Black Tortoise!"

Tian Hao's gaze fell on the last member of the Royal Fighting Team, and he began to have some thoughts.

Having made up his mind, he charged forward with all his might.

The two sides were not far apart to begin with, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of each other. The Purple Gold Grass Sword trailed behind, and the tangible sword energy that was cutting the Xuanwu Martial Soul quickly gathered and merged into the Purple Gold Grass Sword in the blink of an eye.

It's still a knock-off version of Sword Twelve, but unlike the one used to deal with Ying Mei, this time the twelve sword energies that were condensed were all small in size, and after merging and superimposing, they converged at the tip of the sword.

Although its size was far smaller than that one time, it was precisely because of its smaller size that Tian Hao was able to concentrate his sword intent and sword domain, making the sword energy even more powerful.

"Sword Drawing Technique!"

When he was two meters away from his opponent, Tian Hao stomped his foot on the ground and thrust out his Purple Gold Grass Sword with lightning speed, as if drawing a sword.

"Black Tortoise Shield!"

Shi Cheng reacted quickly, even activating his fourth soul ring skill the moment he saw Tian Hao charging towards him, condensing a shield larger than himself, like a tortoise shell.

However, Tian Hao suddenly swung the Purple Gold Grass Sword at Tang Qiang, who was charging from the side wielding the Clear Sky Hammer. At the same time, he leaped and flipped behind Shi Cheng, curling his fingers into a claw and grabbing Shi Cheng's right leg.

His muscles exploded, making his body swell up to the size of a fist, and he swung his massive body up to smash it towards Tang Qiang, who had just knocked the Purple Gold Grass Sword away.

Chapter 194 Sacrifice

"you※※※"

Shi Cheng, who was being swung around and smashed, cursed loudly. Helpless, he could only hold up his Soul Skill Turtle Shield with both hands and take the hit of Tang Qiang's hammer.

"when!"

The black hammer clashed with the black tortoise shield, creating ripples of energy. This was a duel between the world's strongest offense and the world's strongest defense.

The Xuanwu Turtle is a top-tier beast spirit, no less powerful than the Fire Phoenix spirit, especially specializing in defense. In terms of defensive capabilities, no other spirit in the world can withstand it.

If they were at the same level, the Xuanwu Turtle could definitely withstand the Clear Sky Hammer, but the problem is that Shi Cheng is only a Soul Master, while Tang Qiang is a Soul King.

The result was obvious: the Soul Skill Turtle Shield shattered instantly, and the Clear Sky Hammer then smashed into Shi Cheng's chest, causing a slight indentation in his entire chest.

This was only because the tortoise shield absorbed most of the force; otherwise, this hammer blow could have smashed its entire body to pieces.

"puff!"

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which was then enveloped and collected by Tian Hao, who had been waiting for him.

Faced with a top-tier defensive martial soul like the Xuanwu Turtle, he wasn't confident he could break through its defenses. So, he resorted to using someone else to kill him, and incidentally, he could also obtain Shi Cheng's blood for research.

"..."

Tang Qiang was completely bewildered when he realized he had attacked the wrong person. Then, he caught a glimpse of a flashing sword light out of the corner of his eye and instinctively activated his fifth soul skill.

"A Frenzied Strike!"

As the Haotian Hammer crashed down, the raging, scorching soul power instantly turned the ground dozens of meters high into magma, which then surged in all directions under the immense force of the impact.

This is a soul skill that combines offense and defense, and it features multiple attacks with astonishing destructive power.

However, it's useless if you can't hit the person.
