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

Without keeping everyone waiting long, Tian Hao launched his charge after the Dragon Elephant Holy Spear on his right arm stabilized, making Hu Yanmeng and the others extremely vigilant, all of them bracing themselves against the diamond shield wall.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Just as Tian Hao was about to strike the diamond shield wall, the Dragon Elephant Holy Spear on his right arm suddenly slammed down and struck the rocky ground in front of the shield wall.

Although the rocky ground was not hard, it was much weaker than the diamond shield wall. A large hole was drilled in it in an instant, and Tian Hao crawled inside. Drilling holes was his forte.

By the time Hu Yanmeng and the others realized something was wrong, Tian Hao had already crawled through the underground diamond shield wall.

He swung the Dragon Elephant Holy Spear with the force of an elephant's fist, sweeping away several Elephant Armor Sect Soul Kings, and then swept away several more Elephant Armor Sect Soul Kings.

No one could withstand the rapidly spinning and vibrating Dragon Elephant Holy Spear. It was like a rotating impact drill; no matter how strong an entity was, it was impossible to withstand such an attack.

Add to that Tian Hao's immense strength enhanced by his soul bones and soul bone skills, and he could send even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast flying, let alone a human.

With the diamond shield wall so easily broken, the defeat of the Elephant Armor Sect was already sealed. Anyone would have a headache dealing with something that combines offense and defense.

In particular, their strongest forces were ruthlessly crushed, leaving them with no way to fight back.

Finally, the Dragon Elephant Holy Spear swept Huyan Meng away, bringing the battle to a close.

As for Tuoba Jin and the other two, they had already been spotted by Tian Hao and sent flying.

Compared to the cumbersome Elephant Armor Sect's Soul Masters, the Holy Dragon Sect's Soul Masters at least possessed some agility, exhibiting a more balanced development and posing a greater threat to Tian Hao. Therefore, they were the priority targets to eliminate.

"I can't break through!"

Tuoba Jin, rubbing his lower back after recovering, was very frustrated. He had no way to deal with that kind of thing that combined offense and defense. He couldn't even break through its defenses, so how could he fight back?

"His defense is stronger now."

Hu Yankai, who had been watching from the sidelines, noticed that Tian Hao's Elephant God Armor had improved its defense again, and he no longer had the confidence to break through it with his sixth soul skill.

Not to mention that they also have the Golden Bell Shield and the final layer of defense, the Dragon Scale Body. It would be too difficult to break through those three layers of defense in one strike. Furthermore, their strength and attack power are not bad either, and they have almost no weaknesses.

Of course, there is a limit to how strong the opponent is. If a small team of seven Soul Emperors were to come, they could definitely take them down.

The reason why so many Soul Emperors from their Elephant Armor Sect lost last time was because that person used a trick, and at the same time, their fellow clansmen underestimated their opponent. If they had fought seriously, there would have been no way they would have lost.

"The power of the fusion of blood and soul is so great."

Both Tuoba Sinan and his son were deeply moved, realizing that the combined power of the two forces was far more than just the sum of its parts.

Hu Yanba and the others watched with shining eyes. They had only focused on individual self-created soul skills before, but who would have thought that those self-created soul skills could actually be combined to form new self-created soul skills.

"The willpower that our little ancestor spoke of before, is it the sword intent of the Seven Kill Sword?"

Hu Yanba invited Tian Hao to sit down and eat and drink heartily, then asked the question that had been bothering him.

When this young master explained those Dragon Elephant external skills before, he mentioned the power of will, which was most evident in the Dragon Claw technique just now. He sensed that it was similar to the sword intent of Sword Douluo and the one from the Illusionary Sound Academy.

"I don't know. The old man never told me. He only told me to hone my willpower."

While eating, Tian Hao casually replied, "I don't know, feel free to use your imagination."

How does one cultivate willpower?

Elder Elephant Armor couldn't help but ask, "The potential and power of willpower have already been fully demonstrated in Sword Douluo and his monstrous disciple."

If they could also obtain this power, their strength would surely soar to a new level.

"The best way to temper one's will is through pain, which makes one's will more refined and resilient, eventually leading to a transformation that can then be added to one's soul power."

He stuffed an unidentified bird's leg into his mouth, gulped it down, and pulled out the smooth chicken leg bone. Tian Hao continued his casual bluffing, but this time there was some substance to it.

Pain can indeed temper one's will, and with enough tempering, willpower can undergo a transformation, becoming a willpower attribute similar to sword intent.

Speaking of pain, Elder Elephant Armor couldn't help but shudder, recalling his previous horrific experience, which even soaked his pants once again.

This is a lingering effect from the last time I came down. I can't control myself when I'm nervous. Although the symptoms are gradually lessening, it will still take a long time to disappear. During this period, I can't have any drastic emotional fluctuations.

Chapter 363 The Opportunity to Reveal the Way of the Sword

The fervent desire of Long Batian and the others was rendered speechless by Tian Hao's words of painful tempering, because all they could say was that they were in tears!

Many people even left in a hurry to change their pants.

Stimulating the power of Qi and blood is quite painful, but this pain cannot be eliminated, at least not at this stage, according to Tian Hao.

Because the human body is a whole, mental thoughts are also closely related to the body. For example, when you see a girl you like, your heart will beat faster. This is the mental level that is influenced by the level of consciousness.

Intense pain can cause dramatic emotional fluctuations, which is very beneficial for stimulating qi and blood. Without the stimulation of strong emotions, the success rate of stimulating qi and blood is at least 50%.

At least at this stage, it is not possible to eliminate emotional stimulation using that method.

Of course, reducing the intensity and stimulating gradually would also work, but that would take a long time, even if Tian Hao were to take the lead, it would still take one or two months.

It's not worth spending one or two months to stimulate someone's Qi and blood. It's better to find a soul bone to seal a piece of Qi and blood and let it be slowly stimulated.

Therefore, this is the only way to go, and it's a kind of toughening process.

Most importantly, with Tian Hao's current control over qi, blood, and flames, he cannot avoid nerve cells and has no ability to remove that painful stimulation.

A few days later, Hu Yanba and the others who had received the blood and qi stimulation treatment had basically recovered. Although there were still some aftereffects that had not fully healed, they no longer affected their performance.

This time, the remaining Second Elder and others, along with the three Soul Douluos who failed to activate their Qi and Blood last time, went into battle together. Even Tuoba Sinan signed up to participate. Amidst a series of pig-like screams, they all successfully activated their own Qi and Blood.

Fortunately, they were prepared this time and found a highly absorbent mat to place on it, so they didn't embarrass themselves in public, but they were still quite embarrassed.

"Little Ancestor, are you proficient yet?"

Hu Yanba, who had just changed his pants, ran over to ask. Although he hadn't experienced it firsthand, the screams still triggered some instinctive reactions in his body.

The last experience was so unforgettable, the kind I'll never forget.

Now it depends on whether this person can become more skilled and then stimulate the blood and qi of the clansmen at the Soul Saint level.

"Not yet. The physical condition and blood energy of a Soul Saint are far inferior to those of a Soul Douluo. With my current technique, the chance of failure is over 80%. I need to find some more Soul Douluos and Title Douluos to practice on."

Tian Hao shook his head, feeling rather embarrassed about it.

This thing is much more difficult than he imagined. If he were to stimulate the blood and qi of a Soul Saint level Elephant Armor Sect member now, the chance of failure would be over 80%.

The chance of failure is too high, and once you fail, you have to rest for a while and then try again. The chance of success will not increase; it will still only be 20%. If you keep failing, it will be very discouraging.

The blow of failure combined with the painful stimulation would probably drive him crazy.

"Brother Tuoba."

Hu Yanba turned to look at Tuoba Sinan, who had finally recovered a little. Their Elephant Armor Sect's titled Douluo and Soul Douluo had all gone into battle, and it was impossible to find any more people. Now they could only rely on the Holy Dragon Sect.

Although the Holy Dragon Sect has been suppressed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect many times, most of them are just peripheral forces. The core members are actually quite numerous. With the quality of the White Armor Earth Dragon Martial Soul, plus the blessing of the changes in heaven and earth, the Holy Dragon Sect has no fewer Soul Douluos and Title Douluos than their Elephant Armor Sect.

That should be enough for Xiao Zu to practice until he's proficient.

"I'll go back once I've recovered."

With a heavy nod, Tuoba Sinan expressed his opinion.

Although it was quite a ordeal, the energy it unleashed was indeed very powerful. In terms of recovery alone, it was comparable to a healing-type Soul Master, and it provided recovery around the clock.

This should be enough to further impress those old guys.

"Ahem... When you're talking about that, please skip the details."

With a dry cough, Tian Hao signaled to Tuoba Sinan to keep the matter confidential.

The security measures they took for this blood and qi stimulation were very thorough. The location they chose had excellent soundproofing to prevent the screams from affecting other people's mindset.

If the people from the Holy Dragon Sect knew how arduous the activation process was, they might not come.

Those are all top-notch volunteers; how can we dampen their confidence?

"I see."

Tuoba Sinan's face twitched slightly, and he agreed to the matter.

Although he didn't get along well with those clan elders, they were still from the same clan and shared some common interests.

That's why, after hearing about the Spirit Hall's Guardian Spirit Plan, he finally decided to go for it.

Anyway, even if those elders die, they can use this to be reborn.

After all, it is a grave taboo to kill or plot against one's own clan for the sake of power or the future of one's family. Once such a precedent is set, it will inevitably lead to endless troubles.

Now that there is another path, things will be much better. Even if some people's memories are partially altered, it is not unacceptable.

Nothing in this world is perfect. Sometimes we have to make choices. We can only try to minimize the negative impact. We are already doing very well.

"The last big melee was very effective. Little Ancestor, could you come here every now and then to practice your skills?"

The Great Elder of the Elephant Armor suddenly suggested that the last battle had left a deep impression on those clansmen, especially the way this little ancestor skillfully combined his self-created soul skills.

This is much more exciting than the previous sparring sessions among the clansmen; we must have more of these.

"I'm fine."

Tian Hao naturally wouldn't refuse. He also needed to test his self-created soul skills in actual combat, especially the combination and fusion between them. For example, the Dragon Elephant Holy Spear he came up with last time was very effective and could be further developed.

"After the Holy Dragon Sect moves here, I want to go to the Illusionary Sound Academy to see how that sword intent differs from my willpower."

Suddenly, something came up. Naturally, Tian Hao wouldn't give up using his swordsmanship. He even wanted to spread swordsmanship within the Dragon Elephant Sect in the future, especially within the Elephant Armor Sect.

It would be a shame not to use the pair of tusks that the Elephant Armor Sect's martial spirit possessed to make a sword.

Of course, the meteor hammer tactic cannot be abandoned either; both must be grasped firmly.

"We'll accompany Xiao Zu then."

On a whim, Huyan Ba ​​agreed to the matter.

They were quite certain that Xiao Zu's willpower was of the same type as that sword intent. If Xiao Zu could learn the sword intent power of the Illusionary Sound Academy, it would be of endless benefit to their Elephant Armor Sect.

Perhaps that sword intent power can be spread within the sect, at least changing the way we temper our willpower. Tempering it through pain is too grueling.

Anyway, he didn't want to endure that kind of pain again. In fact, he had to carry those three Soul Douluo clansmen who failed to activate their Qi and blood.

Having experienced that inhuman torture, no one would willingly go through it a second time.

"I wonder if I will be able to meet His Majesty Sword Douluo."

The Elephant Armor Elder couldn't help but think of that Sword Douluo, who was also a martial soul successor of one of the Earth Sects. He believed that he would have a lot in common with this young ancestor, and might even form an alliance.

The undercurrents in the Soul Master world are becoming increasingly terrifying, even alarming him. A terrible era is bound to erupt in the future, and they must gather more power to protect themselves and seek more benefits within it.
