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

"That's a guardian spirit project that our Spirit Hall is currently implementing. It can fuse the souls and spirits of deceased soul masters, transforming them into pure spiritual forms, which can be considered a form of regeneration."

However, not everyone is qualified to enjoy that program; besides the cultivation level restrictions, loyalty is even more important.

Those who are loyal will naturally be fully reborn; those who are not loyal enough, or even harbor hostility, will have their memories modified according to the degree of their loyalty.

This is for the good of both of us. You're a smart person, you should understand that. This is the best we can do. Now it's up to you to see how you perform.

Qianjun Douluo did not hide anything and briefly explained the Guardian Spirit plan, hoping to dispel Tuoba Sinan's concerns and make him cooperate more wholeheartedly with the plan.

Chapter 359 Dragon Elephant Martial Arts

Not to mention the secret communication between Tuoba Sinan and Qianjun Douluo when they went out, Tian Hao, who was cultivating at his residence, guided the life divine power to quickly and massively transform into qi and blood power, and then entered the Wheel Sea Secret Realm to temper it with the help of the phoenix flames, and in turn refined the phoenix flames.

This phoenix flame was, after all, ignited and condensed from the remains of the Blazing Flame Sect's ancestors; it did not belong to him personally and needed to be refined slowly.

At the same time, it activated the Phoenix Flame to refine the inner cores of the ten Fiery Sun Serpents embedded in the center of the Phoenix Wheel.

The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is not a soul beast, but a special kind of exotic beast. In addition, it has been living in a place like Hell Road for many years, and has long since mutated. In addition to the masculine fire attribute, its inner core also has the life attribute unique to blood.

This is why it was able to be perfectly refined as Ma Hongjun's seventh soul ring in the original trajectory of destiny. Therefore, this inner core is very compatible with the Phoenix Flame, and it is also a dual existence of fire attribute and life attribute.

If you refine it, you can not only strengthen the Phoenix Flame, but you might even get some unexpected benefits.

While patiently refining the Phoenix Flame and the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, Tian Hao also recalled the process of helping Hu Yanzhen and others to stimulate their blood and qi, filling in any gaps and perfecting the method bit by bit.

In fact, the methods for stimulating qi and blood and using them to temper the body are similar. Both involve circulating qi and blood flames throughout the body and being tempered by the phoenix flames contained within.

The methods for perfecting the stimulation of Qi and blood are also very helpful in perfecting the methods for tempering the body with Qi and blood; the two are interconnected.

The pain of tempering the body with the Qi, blood, flames, and the phoenix flames within is even greater than that of lightning. This must be perfected; otherwise, every cultivation session would feel like torture, and what would be the point of cultivation?

Pain is something you can experience occasionally, but if you have to endure it for a long time, its nature changes.

"Why don't we give it a try?"

After thinking it over for a while, Tian Hao felt a little restless.

Although a lot of experimental data was collected from Hu Yanzhen and others, helping others temper their bodies and tempering one's own body are two completely different things, and the control alone is very different.

After all, one involves controlling someone else's body, while the other involves controlling one's own.

Having made up his mind, Tian Hao guided the qi and blood flames ignited by the phoenix flames in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm to slowly circulate within his body.

As soon as he left the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, Tian Hao couldn't help but gasp. He felt as if every cell in his body was being burned by raging flames, which were specifically targeting his nerve endings. Even though he had undergone pain resistance training, he almost couldn't help but let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Take it slow, it will definitely work."

Taking a deep breath, Tian Hao continued to guide the Qi and Blood Flame to slowly circulate within his body.

Doing this is not masochism, but a form of training, a training that addresses pain.

Although he is still developing his strength cautiously, he will inevitably participate in the war against the gods of the divine realm in the future, and injuries are unavoidable.

Simple injuries are not a big deal, but an attack imbued with special power will definitely cause intense pain.

He didn't want to weaken his fighting ability due to pain, or even to the point of kneeling down.

Therefore, a real man must develop a resistance to pain.

At the same time, this will allow us to further collect data and refine the methods for tempering the body with Qi, blood, and fire.

As one gradually adapts, the flow of Qi and blood within the body increases, and one gradually adapts to the pain, while simultaneously using mental energy to observe subtle aspects of the body.

He had never relaxed his training in sensing and controlling the subtle aspects of his mental power. Although he could not compare to the shrunken state he was in during the first martial soul's spiritual sea, he was already able to barely sense the cellular level with his mental power alone. Then he discovered an abnormal phenomenon.

"The tingling and itchy feeling... could it be a sign of a nerve problem?"

Feeling a tingling sensation hidden beneath the intense pain, Tian Hao was quite puzzled. This was not what he had expected, and something unexpected must have happened.

Stopping the flow of qi and blood flames throughout his body, Tian Hao left a small amount on a patch of skin on his arm.

With a smaller area, the pain is much less, and it can be easily endured.

This continued for over an hour. Tian Hao then cut off that piece of skin, along with the surrounding untempered parts, and stored it in his spiritual sea to conduct detailed research using the abilities of his first martial soul.

His mental power alone could only vaguely sense the cellular level. To observe it carefully, this alone was obviously not enough; he had to use the power of his first martial soul.

By narrowing his mental focus down to the microscopic level, Tian Hao began to observe the cells of that patch of skin, focusing on the nerve cells.

The tingling or itchy sensation must originate from nerve cells, but we don't know what's causing it.

"It seems that the neural synapses in this area have grown a little bit."

Careful observation of the skin cells in that area, and comparison with the surrounding areas that were not tempered by Qi and Blood Flame, revealed that the nerve cell synapses here were longer.

Why did this change occur?

Tian Hao wondered if the change was brought about by the Qi and Blood Body Refinement or by the intense pain.

Or perhaps it was the change brought about by that tiny phoenix flame within the blood and qi?

"Neural growth should be a good thing; at the very least, it will make the body's senses more acute."

After thinking it over for a while, Tian Hao felt that this shouldn't be a bad thing.

The human body has a certain ability to adapt and evolve; perhaps this is the body's autonomous adaptation and evolution.

"Practice it first, and then study it carefully when there are obvious changes."

I've decided to keep practicing like this for now; maybe there will be some unexpected benefits.

After all, there are no precedents for Qi and Blood Body Refinement, especially in this way. It is normal for some unexpected events to occur during the process. As long as the changes are not negative, they can be tolerated and observed.

"Boss!"

Just then, Hu Yanmeng's voice came from outside the courtyard. Tian Hao got up, quickly washed his face, and went outside.

"Boss, all our people are gathered, and we're just waiting for you to come and teach us those self-created soul skills."

Standing outside, Hu Yanmeng spoke respectfully, his heart filled with even greater excitement.

The day has finally come.

"Is it the same square as last time?"

While gesturing for Huyan Meng to lead the way, Tian Hao asked a question.

"Our Elephant Armor Clan is only big enough to accommodate all its members."

Nodding, Huyan Meng led the way.

This time, the entire clan came to learn self-created soul skills; everyone who had awakened the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul was present.

Tian Hao followed Hu Yanmeng to the square where they had fought last time. He saw that everyone had come, including Hu Yanba and others who were using crutches. They were clearly still not fully recovered.

Tuoba Sinan and several of his clansmen were also present, showing how much importance they attached to this competition.

Without much preamble, Tian Hao glanced at everyone present and said, "I currently possess a limited number of self-created soul skills, namely: Invulnerable Dragon Scale Body, Heart-Rending Dragon Claw Hand, Trickling and Bizarre Dragon Tail Leg, Shocking Soul-Shattering Dragon Roar, Invincible Golden Bell Shield, Unbreakable Elephant God Armor, Gold-Piercing and Stone-Breaking Ivory Cone, Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies Elephant Pulling Fist, Powerful Elephant Step Drop, and Hating the Ground Without a Handle Throwing Elephant Skill."

The first four characters are merely a description of the effect; the last three characters are the true name…

Although those self-created soul skills were all derivative knockoffs, Tian Hao took them very seriously. He even communicated with his grandfathers many times before finally settling on a prototype. With continuous improvement, it would become a complete set of self-created soul skills, no less powerful than the martial arts that Tang San would possess in the future.

Chapter 360 Explanation of Dragon Elephant External Kung Fu

"Dragon scales are impervious to blades and spears, making them suitable for blocking sharp, cutting, and stabbing soul skills. They are formed by integrating Vajra soul power into the dragon scales of a martial soul, which is a composite soul power fused from metal-type soul power, similar to earth soul power."

To master the Dragon Scale Body, one not only needs to cultivate Vajra Soul Power, but also needs to be proficient in the Soul Power circulation trajectory of the Dragon Scale Body. This is somewhat complicated, so take it slow in the initial stages of cultivation. Practice makes perfect, and once it becomes second nature, it will be much easier to use..."

Tian Hao explained the cultivation method of the Dragon Scale Body to everyone, which is actually a deeper level of the Vajra Indestructible Membrane cultivation method.

He initially suggested that the Vajra Indestructible technique be practiced in detailed stages, step by step.

The first stage is to form a spherical Vajra shield, and then compress the Vajra shield into a thin film that adheres tightly to the skin, transforming it into protective soul power.

The next step is to integrate it into the skin, a step that Tian Hao has not yet mastered because his body and the Vajra Soul Power are not sufficiently compatible.

Fortunately, after using the Vajra Dragon Elephant Transformation, the dragon scales that grow on the body are of the metal element and have a very high compatibility with the Vajra Soul Power. After fusion, they become the self-created soul skill of the Dragon Scale Body.

This is currently only suitable for Soul Masters of the Holy Dragon Sect to cultivate and use, because there are very few Martial Souls with metal attributes and scales, and the Holy Dragon Sect is the only one that can form a clan or sect.

"The Dragon Claw Hand is more difficult. It's a kind of partial Martial Soul True Form. It activates the power of the Martial Soul's origin and redirects it to the hands, achieving the transformation of the hands into Martial Soul True Forms. After cultivating to a certain level, it can also transform the arms into dragons, increasing explosive power..."

After giving a preliminary explanation of the Dragon Scales, Tian Hao began to explain the Dragon Claw Hand, which had a combat power of several thousand.

"Does the young master mean that once the Dragon Claw Hand, a self-created soul skill, is cultivated to its peak, one can unleash the Martial Soul True Body without needing the seventh soul ring skill?"

While Tian Hao was resting and drinking water, Tuoba hope asked a question, which shocked everyone else.

If that's really the case, then that self-created soul skill would be incredibly powerful.

"Theoretically, it is possible, but I haven't cultivated to that level yet. Currently, I can only transform my hands into dragon claws. The old man, on the other hand, is able to unleash his Martial Soul True Body."

This soul skill is actually the same as the dragon transformation talent of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, allowing soul masters to obtain part of their martial soul true form ahead of time, which gives them a significant advantage in battle.

Nodding, Tian Hao said that their guess was correct, and that was exactly what they thought.

This Dragon Claw Hand self-created soul skill was based on the dragon transformation talent of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan soul masters, plus the research data on the true form of martial souls by Golden Crocodile Douluo and others, which ultimately allowed him to create such a self-created soul skill.

"Dragon Claw Hand is just a foundation. The key is to cultivate a will attribute to enhance the sharpness of Dragon Claw Hand, just like me."

As Tian Hao continued explaining, he bent his fingers into a claw shape, transforming it into a dragon claw. He then used his altered sword intent, combined with Vajra Soul Power, to create a 30-centimeter-long sharpness at the tip of his claw.

The claws, enveloped in golden light, left four scratch marks on the thigh of the stone elephant beside it as easily as piercing tofu.

"Only by adding Vajra Soul Power and Willpower can one form Claw Force, which is indestructible and can tear the enemy apart..."

Listening to Tian Hao's explanation and seeing the scratch marks that were as sharp as cutting tofu, everyone was deeply moved, especially Tuoba hope and the others.

The power of the Dragon Claw Hand that he is currently using is no less than that of the fifth soul skill of an ordinary Soul King.

"Boss, is that the same awl that can pierce gold and break stone made of ivory?"

Hu Yanmeng obediently raised his hand to ask, still vivid in his memory of the battle in Sunset Forest, where his diamond shield was shattered in one blow, a truly swift and decisive defeat.

"That's not it. Besides its inherent sturdiness and sharpness, the ivory cone possesses more of a shockwave power. Earth-attribute power is not good at sharpness, but compared to the sharpness of metal-attribute power, its shockwave power is just as good, and even more domineering."

As he spoke, Tian Hao brought his right hand together in a cone shape, imbued it with earth soul power, and then the soul power flowed through his meridians in a special trajectory, eventually transforming into a shocking force that empowered his hand.

The shockwave suddenly erupted, resonating with the elephant's leg in contact, and blasting it apart, just like an impact drill.

In fact, this method mainly originates from the Zhen word technique of the Haotian Sect, which is a method of converting soul power into vibrational power, and is extremely domineering.

However, Tian Hao combined these techniques and transformed them into the current knock-off version of the ivory cone.
