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

He happened to have acquired the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant Emperor last time. Although he didn't know how well the Golden Crocodile Douluo had trained him, he was sure he wouldn't be bad now. According to the outside world's evaluation of prodigies, he would definitely meet the standard.

"I've already devoured those three beasts. Although most of them were converted into the potential of my martial soul, my soul power level has reached the Soul Master level. It's no problem to create a so-called prodigy."

Golden Crocodile Douluo readily agreed. The little guy's talent wasn't great back then, but his perseverance was excellent. In addition, after devouring and refining three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings, not only did his Martial Soul successfully evolve into a Thousand-Pound Ant King, but he also gained the ability to fly. With his blood and qi system, spiritual power system, and massive soul power reserves, it wouldn't be difficult for him to earn the title of a prodigy.

In fact, the so-called prodigies outsiders are all the result of their secret guidance. Their Spirit Hall also has prodigies, and they are true prodigies, like their own grandsons.

This standard is far higher than what the outside world perceives it to be; in fact, what the outside world perceives it to be is merely the minimum threshold for their definition of a prodigy.

There are quite a few people in Wuhun City who have reached the threshold, especially among the Angel Clan.

They've just been hiding their true abilities all along; it's good to let another grandson represent the Spirit Hall and show his face now.

“When we get back to Wuhun City after the finals, tell him that if he can tie with me, I can give him the gift left by his grandfather ahead of schedule.”

When the topic came up, Tian Hao didn't forget the promise he had made to that boy.

The greater purpose of the Soul Skill "Source of Power" for him is for research, and then to evolve it into a self-created Soul Skill that everyone can cultivate. The research and development is almost complete.

Although the conditions for learning are very demanding, at least it is possible to learn.

With the cultivation levels and strength of Thousand Paths Golden Crocodile Douluo and others, after some research and study, they will be able to further improve it sooner or later, making it accessible to everyone.

"That kid has been keeping an eye on it."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was delighted. If it were any of this kid's other aliases, his own grandson would definitely be no match for him. But Xiang Wuhen's alias is lightning-attribute, so even if he cultivated lightning tribulation soul power, he could withstand it.

You should know that when I left Wuhun City, that kid was already cultivating in Thunder Valley, and he should have already started to learn about the Thunder Body Refinement containing the Thunder Tribulation.

In addition, the metal element has resistance to the lightning element, so defeating it is impossible, but a draw should be possible.

"We could field a round of Four Heavenly Kings, but it would be quite tiring."

Tian Hao cherishes this time of relaxation because he will be very busy after the finals, as he will have to focus on controlling his two clones.

That was something he had prepared for Huanyin University and Longxiang University long ago, proving that the two academies were capable of cultivating geniuses. In this way, they would definitely be able to further enhance their ability to attract talents, allowing more people to bring their families to the two duchies.

That's right. His purpose in establishing the university was to use it as a foundation to attract Soul Master talents from the two great empires and various kingdoms, and to recognize the duchies they belonged to and make them independent.

As long as a sense of national honor is cultivated and the people within the country accept it, there will be less resistance when the time comes to submit to the Spirit Hall, and at least it will not cause too much involvement to the two great empires.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiang, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the palace tonight, and we cordially invite you both to attend."

At this moment, a guard came over, bowed respectfully to Liu Erlong, and conveyed the Emperor's invitation.

We'll go there tonight.

Liu Erlong replied calmly, showing no surprise at the response.

Today's battle has solidified the reputation of their own little wolf dog as a prodigy. It would be strange if the Star Luo Emperor didn't value and try to win him over.

The rest of the match was still exciting, but everyone seemed a bit disheartened.

After all, compared to Tian Hao's performance, the other teams were far inferior, not even on the same level.

As expected, the battles of the prodigies are much more captivating.

After the competition ended, Tian Hao did not take Liu Erlong shopping again, but went straight back to his hotel room.

As the saying goes, "People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat." Once people become famous, many unexpected things will happen to them. Yesterday, when they were shopping after the competition, they were targeted by many people, some of whom were malicious.

Today, thanks to the Tianyi team, the name of Tianjiao has been firmly established, which will inevitably attract more attention. It will be impossible to go shopping anymore.

……

"Can't you save your energy for the game?"

As the sun set, Liu Erlong lay slumped in the bathtub, glaring sullenly at his little wolfhound.

As soon as I got back, this little wolfhound picked me up and started ramming me for a full two hours.

Even though he was a titled Douluo with a physique far exceeding that of ordinary people, he still couldn't withstand such a brutal battle.

Not to mention that the main strength of a Title Douluo lies in their bones and muscles; in other aspects, they are not much stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, she always lost battles against the young wolf, never winning even once.

But this little wolfhound was full of energy and kept fighting, and it seemed like he was really going to cause a death.

She always cleans up with her own fire-attribute soul power afterward, otherwise someone would have died long ago.

She wouldn't consider having children until she caught up with that woman and subdued her, so as not to be distracted and affect her cultivation.

"Which of those college teams is worth me conserving my energy for? Besides, you know how much energy I have, so there's no need for me to conserve it."

Tian Hao chuckled as he massaged his beautiful senior sister's legs to speed up her recovery, his smile radiating confidence and elation.

"You'll die on my belly sooner or later!"

Spitting out, Liu Erlong couldn't refute it, after all, she had experienced it firsthand. This little wolfhound was truly inhuman; even livestock weren't this powerful.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang, and Tian Hao knew it must be the hotel waiter. Judging by the time, it was about right.

"Go open the door and tell them we'll be down in fifteen minutes."

She gave someone a push, signaling them to hurry up and leave. Liu Erlong struggled to stand up. Although her legs were still trembling, they no longer affected her ability to walk.

After drying herself off, Liu Erlong found a bright red dress to wear, covering her still slightly trembling legs.

The waiter waited outside the door until Tian Hao and Liu Erlong were dressed and came out. He then led the two down from the restaurant to the outside, where a carriage was already waiting.

This hotel was established with the support of the royal family, so they naturally knew which two people His Majesty had invited and had already made all the necessary preparations.

The young couple boarded the carriage and headed straight for the palace.

They chatted quietly all the way, and the carriage entered the palace before the sun had completely set.

Although the architectural styles are different, the Star Luo Imperial Palace is no less large than the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. In particular, the guards and soldiers in the palace have a more murderous aura, and they are obviously elites who have been on the battlefield, which is something that the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace cannot match.

This also reflects the style of the Star Luo royal family. It is precisely because of this style that can be cultivated and passed down that the Star Luo Empire has always maintained its strength and has a strong deterrent effect on the kingdoms under its command, unlike the Heaven Dou Empire.

This is also the main reason why, in the future trajectory of fate, the Star Luo Empire was able to remain intact, while the Heaven Dou Empire was split from within.

"The two of you."

Davis, who had been waiting there, nodded gently to the two of them. There were some things that his father, the emperor, couldn't do directly, so only he, as the crown prince, could handle them. This was something he had fought for.

As long as one can cultivate a good relationship with these two, the Purple Thunder Academy can become a major asset in the future struggle for the throne. Even if the other party remains neutral, their attitude alone is enough to demonstrate its immense value.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Tian Hao gave a simple bow. After all, the other party was the crown prince of a country, and Zi Lei Academy would be operating in the Star Luo Empire in the future. Naturally, he had to act kindly and approachably, and there was no need to act arrogantly and provoke hatred.

Liu Erlong was much more aloof, merely nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

Davis didn't see anything wrong with this, after all, the other party was a Title Douluo, with a Title Douluo father and a top family backing him up, so his status was no less than his own as the Crown Prince.

"The banquet is about to begin. Please follow me."

Davis gestured and led the way, half a body length ahead, while also talking to Tian Hao.

"Brother Wuhen's performance today has greatly shocked me. To cultivate speed to that level at the Soul Sect realm is truly unprecedented..."

Davis was truly shocked. Although he had often watched the battle videos of the two prodigies from the previous two editions, the videos were always inferior to seeing it in person.

Having seen you today, I can see that your reputation as a prodigy is truly well-deserved; you are far beyond the level of mere geniuses.

Even his aunt Dai Xueyi, whom he had always admired, paled in comparison. No wonder he was defeated by that person back then.

"Your Highness is too kind. I'm just fast."

Tian Hao's modesty only displeased one woman.

"You're not just fast. The previous battles didn't make you take it seriously. You must have even more powerful methods, but you haven't met an opponent worthy of your use yet."

Dai Xueyi, who had been following behind Davis, stared intently at the young man in front of her with her beautiful golden eyes. She saw the shadow of that man from before in him; he was definitely on the same level.

Although this person acted strongly today, she didn't believe for a second that he had used his full strength.

"This is my aunt, Dai Xueyi. She participated in the Soul Master Competition two years ago and narrowly lost to the Holy Spirit Sword Saint in the final."

Davis began by introducing himself, saying that he had brought his fiancée and aunt, Dai Xueyi, to greet the two, hoping to use this opportunity to improve their relationship.

After all, his aunt Dai Xueyi had participated in a Soul Master Competition and even competed against the world's number one prodigy. Zhu Zhuyun was not only his fiancée, but they were also preparing to participate in the next Soul Master Competition, representing Star Luo Royal Academy to compete for the championship.

Getting to know this prodigy better than anyone else is a sure thing. Besides, his fiancée has a standard Netherworld Cat Martial Soul and is also an agility-type Soul Master, so they should have some common ground.

“I know the Holy Spirit Sword Saint. Although I have never seen him compete in person, I have felt the sword intent and sword domain he left behind in the sword square. My Purple Lightning Nine Strikes is not yet fully mastered and I am no match for him.”

Tian Hao admitted his inferiority, saying he was still lacking, and casually mentioned the existence of the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning.

The name "Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning" made Davis and the other two's eyes flicker, confirming that this person had indeed not shown his true strength before, and at the same time, they became even more curious about the Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning.

"I've never heard of the name 'Nine Strikees of Purple Lightning.' Is it a self-created soul skill created by Brother Xiang?"

Davis asked casually, but Dai Xueyi remained silent, waiting for Tian Hao to speak.

Zhu Zhuyun, who had been silent all along, also perked up her fair little ears to listen, equally curious.

"The Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning is a sword technique that my teacher and I created together. As long as it can be perfected, I am confident that it will be no weaker than the Holy Spirit Sword Technique of the Holy Spirit Sword Saint."

His words carried an absolute confidence; Tian Hao was certain that the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning would be exceptional.

It should be noted that his ultimate vision for the Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning was to be able to control the lightning tribulation. In the face of the destructive power of the lightning tribulation, any power would be suppressed and restrained. Even time and space would struggle against the lightning tribulation power originating from the God of Destruction.

Therefore, the ultimate form of Purple Lightning Nine Strikes will definitely not be weaker than Sword Twenty-Three; it is a path that takes destruction to its extreme.

"I really look forward to the moment when Brother Xiang uses the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning."

Davis expressed his longing and anticipation, recalling how he had accompanied his father to the New Heaven Dou City Palace to attend the coronation ceremony on a snowy night, where he had the privilege of witnessing the Holy Spirit Sword Saint's Sword Twenty-Three, a sword technique that could freeze space and time with superhuman strength.

Since Xiang Wuhen of the Purple Thunder Academy is confident that he can rival the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, he must be quite skilled.

Not to mention that this person's teacher is very likely Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. With the powerful foundation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, he has devoted everything to creating a self-created soul skill, the power of which is worth looking forward to.

The current problem is whether our own empire has a powerful opponent who can make this person use that Purple Lightning Nine Strikes technique.

Otherwise, we'll only see it in the finals.

"The Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning is something I prepared for people like me. I hope to meet a real opponent in this year's Soul Master Competition."

Tian Hao expressed his anticipation, and even showed a hint of fighting spirit.

He's already prepared to put on a big show in the finals.

"The existence of geniuses is extremely rare. It is already a miracle that one genius can appear in each Soul Master Competition. It is very difficult to see two geniuses competing in the same Soul Master Competition."

Dai Xueyi didn't think this person could meet a match. Having personally fought that man, she understood the power of such a prodigy. Their existence far exceeded the scope of normal humans and was extremely rare; their very existence was a miracle.
