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

When asked about that man, Liu Erlong was very worried.

Xiao Gang had been hurt by that woman before, and then went through that kind of thing, so he must have suffered a major blow. I wonder if he has recovered over the years.

“I met him the year before last. He seemed alright and was working hard on his theoretical research.”

Nodding, Flander had met Yu Xiaogang before. He seemed much more composed, but also a bit gloomy. There was always something strange about talking to him, but overall he seemed fine.

While matters of the heart can sometimes be regrettable, people still have to live. One shouldn't let a failed relationship define them for the rest of their life. Xiao Gang is clearly not that kind of person, nor is Flander.

"What about you, Boss Francis?"

Feeling somewhat relieved, Liu Erlong then inquired about Flander, wondering how this older brother had been doing all these years, though he figured he must be doing better than himself.

Recalling the years she was imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Liu Erlong still felt lingering fear.

That period was her darkest time, and she suffered greatly both physically and mentally. However, it was precisely because of this that she was able to rapidly increase her soul power level and eventually become a Title Douluo.

"After you left, I've been keeping an eye on Shrek Academy. Unfortunately, the competition among academies in the Heaven Dou Empire is too fierce, and it's impossible to recruit good students. I came to Star Luo City this time to see the quality of the academies here, and if possible, I'll move the academy here."

Even with Flanders' easygoing nature, he couldn't help but feel depressed when the matter was brought up.

Ever since that Holy Spirit Sword Saint appeared out of nowhere and pioneered the concept of Soul Master Universities, those advanced Soul Master Academies have gone mad with competition, acting like utterly inhuman.

His Shrek Academy was simply no match for the competition, and coupled with his dislike of dealing with those powerful and influential people, Shrek Academy was always short of funds and didn't even have an academic certificate. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a diploma mill.

He originally intended to cultivate a group of genius students to enhance the academy's reputation, but unfortunately he was unable to recruit any outstanding students. In fact, not a single person applied last year, which is why he came to Xingluo City.

"The emergence of two prodigies in the Tiandou region has been a great stimulus to everyone. It is foreseeable that the competition there will become even more intense in the future."

Nodding in agreement, Liu Erlong had personally witnessed how intense the previous Soul Master Competition in the Tiandou region was. Not to mention that bald guy from the Vajra Sect, the Five Elements Academy alone was terrifyingly strong, with all of its main combat team members being Soul Kings.

Not to mention the Illusionary Sound Academy, whose team strength will definitely be stronger this year, making this year's Soul Master Competition even more intense.

It was the right thing for Boss Fu to give up developing in Tian Dou and come to Xing Luo to probe the situation.

"Which academy does that young man with you belong to? I don't recognize the badge on his chest. Is it a newly established Soul Master Academy?"

Remembering the boy who had been holding hands with Erlong before, Flander tried to remain calm and asked.

Although the boy was burly, his face still had a youthful appearance, and he was probably not even twenty years old. His soul power aura was that of a Soul Master, which was quite good for his age.

But it was only good; he couldn't understand why Erlong would take a fancy to a mere brat from the Soul Sect, especially one so young.

Could it be that Erlong likes this one?

Does an old cow eat young grass?

Thankfully, Liu Erlong didn't have mind-reading abilities, otherwise she would have definitely exploded and killed Flander on the spot.

"He was my father's disciple, and even more so, a prodigy."

After a moment of silence, Liu Erlong still gave a brief explanation.

Although the relationship with that young wolf dog developed very badly, it has to be admitted that the kid is very talented, no less than the previous two prodigies, and his future achievements are limitless.

Putting everything else aside, the Nine Purple Thunder Strikes that he and his father perfected were terrifyingly powerful. He lost to the Nine Purple Thunder Strikes used by his father and only lasted until the sixth strike.

This is only what his own father uses. When that kid grows up in the future, he won't even need to reach the title of Douluo level; he'll probably be able to unleash that kind of power at the Soul Douluo level alone.

Absolutely invincible among those of the same level, unless facing a prodigy of the same rank.

"Another prodigy?"

Flander was stunned. He had originally planned to check out the Star Luo Empire's competition zone, but he had no luck and encountered a prodigy right away.

He did not doubt what Liu Erlong said; if that was the case, then she must be a prodigy.

Are prodigies really that common these days?

"You gave him the soul bone?"

Frustrated, Flander took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, lamenting the injustice of the world.

The two prodigies who appeared earlier were both extraordinary. One of them had a 100,000-year-old head soul bone, and his spiritual power and soul power were quite superhuman.

Although the second one had never used any soul bone skills, his terrifying physical attributes meant he had definitely refined the entire set of soul bones. Coupled with his self-created soul skills and the final seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill, there was truly no comparison.

There's no comparison to a college like ours that started from scratch; ultimately, it all comes down to resources.

Shrek Academy currently lacks even the ability to create a simulated environment, let alone soul bones.

It's truly enviable!

"He has no soul bone; all he possesses is the power he cultivated and created himself."

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Erlong knew that the little wolfhound had no soul bone on him. He even wanted to get a set of 100,000-year soul bones. He had even given his father the soul bone that his father had given him to refine.

Currently, his strength mainly lies in that purple lightning and the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning created from it.

"No soul bone?"

Flander didn't quite understand. Without the blessing of a soul bone, how strong could one's own cultivation power be?

"Wait, could he be a prodigy with extraordinary comprehension like the Holy Spirit Sword Saint?"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Flander's eyes widened in shock.

"Pretty much, he's very strong."

Nodding, Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel a little proud.

With a prodigy presiding over their Purple Thunder Academy, they are bound to attract a large number of students to study there, eventually elevating Purple Thunder Academy to the third Soul Master University on the entire continent.

"I think I'll go back to Tiandou and make a living there."

After a long while, Flander calmed down and became gloomy, giving up any thought of developing his career in Xingluo.

I thought Xingluo would be a bit weaker, but it turns out it's the same no matter who you are, they can still produce geniuses.

Flander's disappointment made Liu Erlong a little embarrassed, unsure of how to comfort him.

I had forgotten about this before.

"Brother Fu, this is my cultivation notes, as well as some research on my self-created soul skills. Although our martial souls are different, the essence of cultivation is the same, so it should be of some help to you."

"Don't refuse. I'm also one of the elders of Shrek Academy, so it's only right that I do my part."

Liu Erlong took out two notebooks, placed them on the table, and pushed them over. That was all the help Liu Erlong could offer at this point.

One of the notebooks contained her own cultivation insights, which she would often take out to review and fill in any gaps in her knowledge. It also included her understanding of some classic texts from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Fu Laoda is of commoner origin and has no lineage. He has relied almost entirely on his own exploration to reach this point in his cultivation. If he continues like this, he may not even be able to become a Title Douluo.

As for his understanding of self-created soul skills, it came from watching his father and the little wolfhound create and perfect the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning, plus his personal feelings and opinions from watching the self-created soul skills of the Thunder Academy, and so on.

These things are very meaningful to Shrek Academy. After all, I was one of the three founders of Shrek Academy, so naturally I want Shrek Academy to develop better.

Even if it doesn't become a Soul Master University, it should at least develop into a high-level Soul Master Academy.

After hesitating for a moment, Flander ultimately did not refuse. One reason was that he himself really needed it, and the other was that if the academy wanted to be promoted to a Soul Master University in the future, it had to develop its own Soul Skills. Otherwise, even if it won a Soul Master Competition in the future, it would still not be qualified to be promoted to a Soul Master University.

"You've become a Title Douluo?"

"Put those two notebooks away," Flander suddenly asked.

Just now, when Liu Erlong activated her storage soul tool to retrieve the notebook, she revealed a bit of soul power. Although it was only a fleeting moment, he could still sense it. That sense of oppression was something that no Soul Douluo could possess; it was probably something even stronger, a Title Douluo.

He wasn't surprised that Liu Erlong had become a Title Douluo, given her talent, but it was just too fast.

It's only been eleven years since they parted ways, and he really can't understand how Liu Erlong has improved so quickly in these eleven years.

"I got some good opportunities."

Nodding, Liu Erlong didn't explain further, but it was true that she had received a fortuitous opportunity.

Although the seventh spirit ring was constantly consuming her spirit power, it also continuously improved the quality of her martial spirit, which in turn increased her cultivation speed.

That's why she was able to cultivate from Soul Saint to Title Douluo level in five years.

Not to mention that she also obtained a soul bone at that time, which mutated and changed the form of her martial soul.

Otherwise, it would probably take him another ten years to become a Title Douluo.

It is important to know that the further a Soul Master progresses in their cultivation, the more Soul Power they need for each level, and the longer it takes to advance to each level.

Even after the cataclysmic changes in the world, very few people can achieve the title of Douluo before the age of forty. She was able to achieve it in three... cough cough, anyway, she was quite lucky.

Of course, their relentless efforts were also indispensable.

"I also need to work hard and become a Title Douluo as soon as possible."

Pushing up his glasses, Flander was full of energy and confidence.

With his original talent, he could only ever become a Soul Douluo at most in his life, and there was absolutely no way he could become a Title Douluo. This was due to the limitations of his martial soul talent; Soul Douluo was his limit.

However, with the emergence of the strange changes in the world, the achievements of Soul Masters can be raised by a major level. Those who originally had the aptitude to become Soul Douluo have a good chance of cultivating to become Title Douluo. Even if they are just ordinary Title Douluo, it is still remarkable and can extend their lifespan.

Originally, the problem was that there was no one to pass on the knowledge of that stage, and it would have been very time-consuming to figure it out on my own.

Now that's great, with Erlong's cultivation notes, he will definitely be able to cultivate smoothly to the Title Douluo realm.

"It contains my insights into cultivating sword intent. If you can cultivate sword intent, Boss Fu, I can help you hunt for a 100,000-year soul ring."

If you can obtain a head soul bone, the risk of refining it will be further reduced.

Liu Erlong took the initiative to suggest it. Having refined a 100,000-year soul ring, she knew very well the benefits that a 100,000-year soul ring could provide to a soul master. These benefits were far greater than those of a 10,000-year soul ring, and even a 90,000-year soul ring paled in comparison.

Not to mention that a 100,000-year-old soul beast is guaranteed to drop a soul bone. If he could hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul ring and a 100,000-year-old soul bone, Boss Fu would have a real chance to break through to the level 96 Super Douluo.

"Forget it, I'm already content with becoming a Title Douluo. There's no need to pursue a 100,000-year-old spirit ring. Besides, I'm very self-aware. The power of sword intent is beyond my reach."

Flanders was somewhat tempted, but quickly shook his head and refused.

A 100,000-year soul ring is great, but unfortunately I can't handle it.

Let alone obtaining a high-quality head soul bone, he simply lacked the ability to comprehend that sword intent.

He had been to the swordplay plaza of the Illusionary Sound Academy twice, but unfortunately he didn't feel anything at all. It was clear that he was not suited to comprehend and cultivate the power of sword intent.

Even if we had Liu Erlong's cultivation insights, it wouldn't be enough. Instead of focusing our attention on that, we should develop Shrek Academy properly.

Seeing that Flander said so, Liu Erlong had no way to force him.

Like her father, her understanding of sword intent was vague and inexplicable. She grasped it without any clear explanation, let alone being able to guarantee that others could comprehend it.

"You obtained a 100,000-year soul ring?"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Flander was both surprised and delighted. According to Erlong's words, he had likely obtained a 100,000-year-old spirit ring.
