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

"We must intensify our efforts to search for and cultivate such prodigies; the future belongs only to them."

With a change of expression, Gu Rong gave a serious reminder.

Those geniuses are so strong it's unreasonable. Last time, that little madman's swordsmanship even affected a peak existence like Tang Zhen.

He even suspected that the little madman wouldn't need to cultivate to the level of Title Douluo; simply reaching the level of Soul Douluo would be enough to defeat Tang Zhen.

That little barbarian from the Vajra Sect is no less impressive; he's an invincible being of the same level. Once he reaches his peak, none of the older generation will be his match. He'll be even more terrifying than the two Yue brothers of the previous era's Soul Master world.

Perhaps such a prodigy can become a god.

He felt utterly powerless in the face of that kind of being.

"Uncle Bone, do you think I made the wrong choice again?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then asked a question, feeling a little confused.

In recent years, he has caused great losses to the sect. First, he made the wrong choice regarding that little brother, and in the end, he not only antagonized Sword Douluo, but also paid a huge price to quell his anger.

This time, his actions against the Vajra Sect have caused the sect enormous losses, wiping out its elite forces and even killing his father and the elders on the battlefield.

All of this was due to the choices he made. Although his intentions were for the good of the sect, none of them were successful, and they even caused irreparable negative consequences, making him reflect on whether he had made the wrong choices.

Bone Douluo remained silent on this matter, as he was not particularly skilled in it, and such things could only be left for Ning Fengzhi to figure out himself.

He didn't want his own thoughts to interfere with Ning Fengzhi's thinking, after all, he couldn't be responsible for any choices, and the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still up to Ning Fengzhi to control.

However, whatever choice Ning Fengzhi makes, he will support him.

After pondering for a while, Ning Fengzhi pinched the bridge of his nose, looking quite tired.

This loss was different from the last one; even his father had perished on the battlefield, which filled him with deep remorse.

He has now offended two peak Douluo and two prodigies for his sect. Is his philosophy and choice right or wrong?

How can the flaws of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda be overcome?

As he pondered the most fundamental question of the sect, Ning Fengzhi was well aware that the various choices he and the sect had made in the past were largely due to the flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a support-type martial soul with no offensive or defensive capabilities whatsoever. They can only rely on recruiting battle soul masters from outside to form their combat power.

Recruiting is still recruiting, and it's not the same as having your own family. You have to use resources and benefits to bind and support them.

Despite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's vast business empire and immense wealth, over half of its revenue is used to support the recruited Soul Masters.

After all, the only thing their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can offer is wealth.

This forced them to continue expanding their businesses and making more money, which in turn led to a lot of trouble.

He could even vaguely sense the Heavenly Dou royal family's impatience with his own family, but what could he do?

Downsizing the industry will reduce revenue, making it impossible to supply the recruited Soul Masters. Without money, who will follow you?

This is a dead end; it cannot be untied.

Moreover, the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda prevented them from becoming Title Douluo. Even with innate full soul power, they could not cultivate to level ninety and extend their lifespan.

This results in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School having a much more frequent change of sect leader than the other two of the three upper sects, which is not a good thing.

However, it was too difficult to solve the defects of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. My father and others had been researching it for more than 20 years without much success.

Is this all that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can achieve?

He was very unwilling, but more than that, he felt helpless.

"The rise of the Vajra Sect and the Dragon Elephant Academy can attract some of the Spirit Hall's attention, which is a good thing."

Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Ning Fengzhi acknowledged the rise of the Dragon Elephant Academy and the Vajra Sect. Although they were their enemies, their existence would also infringe upon the interests of the Spirit Hall, leading to a conflict between the two.

"How about we set up a Soul Master Academy too?"

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had calmed down, Gu Rong made a suggestion.

He had visited the Illusionary Sound Academy. Although it had only been established for five years, it had shown amazing potential, far surpassing other advanced soul master academies.

It even has the potential to become a holy land for swordsmanship in the world of soul masters. Regardless of whether one has a sword spirit or not, people will go there to pay homage, especially for the opportunity in that sword plaza.

Even sword-type martial soul masters without innate soul power can draw a wisp of sword intent into their own martial soul, thus having the possibility of cultivation.

It is conceivable that with the alliance of Huanyin Academy and Sword Sect, they will inevitably surpass the level of the three upper sects and advance towards the level of the Spirit Hall.

This kind of Soul Master University is too attractive and has great potential. Once their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a Soul Master University, it will definitely reach a higher level.

"It's worth a try."

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, he was quite tempted.

I've been so busy with sect matters that I forgot about this.

The previous advanced soul master academies were not of much significance to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so they did not establish their own advanced soul master academy. However, the soul master universities that have appeared now are different; they are existences that surpass all advanced soul master academies.

This would be very valuable to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and it would also allow them to further recruit talent; perhaps with good luck, they could even recruit a prodigy.

“It’s not difficult to set up a high-level Soul Master Academy, but it’s not easy to upgrade it to a university.”

My thoughts shifted, and I felt a bit troubled again.

Since the concept of Soul Master Universities emerged, all the major advanced Soul Master academies have been investing heavily in training elite students to form teams. It's incredibly competitive.

Last year, only one or two Soul Kings were in charge of a single family, but this year, it's almost become the norm for all of them to be Soul Kings.

It is foreseeable that next year's Soul Master Competition will be even more intense.

Breaking through the ranks and winning the championship under these circumstances to become a Soul Master University is truly not easy; it's not something that can be achieved with money.

Moreover, winning the Soul Master Competition is only one of the hard requirements for advancing to the Soul Master University. Another hard requirement is the ability to innovate and help students create their own original Soul Skills.

This is even more difficult than winning the championship; no matter how much wealth the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has, it's useless.

Chapter 426 Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique

The success of Huanyin Academy and the performance of Huanyin Team both proved the amazing potential of Soul Master University. Although Huanyin Team was defeated by Longxiang Team and eliminated by Wuhun Hall Team in the finals, it was not because Huanyin Team was weak, but because the opponents were too strong.

There's no need to say more about the Dragon Elephant Team; that one prodigy alone is enough to prove everything.

The Spirit Hall Academy is the strongest among all advanced spirit master academies, boasting the best talent, resources, and teachers—it's hard for it not to excel.

Not to mention that the Spirit Hall team was motivated by their shameful defeat in the previous competition and devised a perfect strategy against the Phantom Sound team. It is normal for the Phantom Sound team to fail when they unleash their full power.

Even so, it still made things very difficult for the Spirit Hall team, with four of them suffering sword marks on their vitals.

That was just a friendly sparring match by the Illusionary Sound Team. If it were a life-or-death battle, the Spirit Hall Team would have lost at least four members, and the rest would have been injured or crippled, with hardly anyone remaining intact.

This demonstrates the strength of the Phantom Sound Team. Phantom Sound Academy has only been established for five years, and swordsmanship requires years of training. The longest time a member of the Phantom Sound Team has been enrolled is only five years.

If you join the next team, you can train for ten years; the next team after that will train for fifteen years.

If you were to switch to someone who grew up in an academy, their swordsmanship training would be longer, and their strength would inevitably be greater.

Not to mention the disciples and followers who came from the Sword Sect.

This demonstrates the terrifying potential of the Illusionary Sound Academy, making all advanced Soul Master academies dare not underestimate it in the slightest, and even more eager to advance to the Soul Master University.

Putting aside other factors, the appeal of Soul Master Universities to young Soul Masters far surpasses that of Advanced Soul Master Academies. With more students, there is a greater foundation for selecting more outstanding talents to form teams.

That's how the Phantom Sound Team came into being.

The Huanyin team was unlucky this year, facing the Wuhun Hall team in the first round; otherwise, they definitely had the strength to reach the finals.

Of course, they strongly suspected that it was a shady operation by the Spirit Hall, an attempt to wash away the previous humiliation and also a show of force.

Regardless of the intentions of the various factions, the finals continued, and all teams performed exceptionally well. Finally, the Star Royal Team, a perennial powerhouse, once again reached the final.

"Hmm? Would you like three kittens?"

After reviewing the lineup of the Star Luo Royal Team, Tian Hao was impressed and roughly guessed their tactics.

The Star Luo Royal Team was able to reach the finals thanks to their two Netherworld White Tigers, both of whom came from the Star Luo Royal Family and the Netherworld Zhu Family, and both possessed soul bones.

However, only two Netherworld White Tigers appeared in the previous competition, but this time two newcomers came down, and it seems that they also come from the Star Luo Royal Family and the Netherworld Zhu Family.

"Boss, the big cat over there in Xingluo is no pushover. We're no match for him in a one-on-one fight."

Tuoba Jin whispered, though he didn't want to admit it, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill truly lived up to its reputation as a divine skill in the Soul Master world.

Unless they can master the skill of stacking martial spirits, they are simply no match for them.

Although they had been practicing the Martial Soul Stacking Technique, they had only been practicing for a short time. It had been less than a year since the eldest brother was born, and they had only been practicing the Martial Soul Stacking Technique for half a year. How could they possibly have mastered it?

The next and the year after that should be fine, but I'll pass on my current year.

"They're not easy to deal with, we'll use our ultimate tactic!"

Nodding in agreement, Tian Hao signaled for the final killing move.

It's time to unleash that killer move; after all, such a great advertising opportunity is rare and shouldn't be wasted.

"okay!"

With their approval, Hu Yanmeng and the other six were very excited. They stood in two rows at the back, placing their hands on each other's shoulders. Finally, Hu Yanmeng and Tuoba Jin placed their hands on Tian Hao's shoulders.

Although they haven't mastered the Martial Soul Stacking Technique yet, they've significantly improved the fusion of their Soul Power by utilizing Earth Soul Power and Vajra Soul Power, which is their ultimate killing move.

Meanwhile, the six members of the opposing Star Luo Royal Team held hands in pairs, each unleashing their family's martial soul fusion technique to transform into Netherworld White Tigers.

The last member then channeled all five of his support-type soul skills into the three Netherworld White Tigers.

Their ultimate strategy for this Soul Master Competition is simple: to win with the Netherworld White Tiger and win the championship no matter what.

Even if the Dragon Elephant team member is incredibly strong, he definitely couldn't withstand the combined attack of three Netherworld White Tigers with added support.

As for the other six members of the Dragon Elephant team, while they might not be completely helpless against the Netherworld White Tiger, they were certainly no match for him.

They're destined to win this battle!

"Roar!"

With a roar, the three Netherworld White Tigers charged out simultaneously, launching an attack from three directions.

However, at that moment, the Dragon Elephant team's golden soul power erupted, which was extremely dazzling. After the light dissipated, a colossal creature appeared that was beyond everyone's expectations.

"A seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill! How is this possible?"

Clutching the scepter tightly, even Ning Fengzhi, with his composure, could hardly maintain his composure.

He was very familiar with the enormous creature that appeared; it was the Vajra Dragon Elephant. Although its size was far smaller than that of the Vajra Sect Master, it was not small either, at least not as large as the true body of a Soul Saint-level Martial Soul.
