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

I was really worried that my boyfriend wouldn't be able to come; if that happened, it would be a disaster.

After all, she had already sent out the challenge last night, and many dignitaries from the Heaven Dou Empire were also present to watch the battle. It would be very troublesome if she missed the challenge.

"Oh, it was you!"

At this moment, Tang Yuehua, who was standing next to her, began to act according to the pre-arranged script, indicating that she had known this guy for a long time.

Because according to the character's background, he was someone who had confessed his feelings to her before.

"It's really you!"

Yingmei also began her performance. As a woman, her acting skills were innate; she didn't need to learn them. As long as she had a script, she could perform perfectly.

"Do you know?"

Feng Aotian stared in astonishment at the three women, then at the handsome white-haired man. He could guess that this man was Hai Bodong, the captain of the Tianshui team, but the problem was that he didn't know his identity. He had asked Lan Luan before but hadn't been able to find out. How did Tang Yuehua and Ying Mei know him?

Hu Yankai and Yu Shisui were also quite confused; they genuinely didn't know who this person was.

"He's a tough guy. He once confessed his love to Yuehua in front of Gai Zongheng. If Yuehua hadn't held him back, he would have been killed long ago."

Yingmei explained the script lines with a smile, leaving Feng Aotian and the others dumbfounded. They then all gave her a thumbs-up.

That's incredible!

"At the time, I didn't know your identity as the vice dean, and I apologize for that."

He quickly and sincerely apologized, and Tian Hao's acting skills were impeccable.

He used to need to practice in front of a mirror, but now he has honed his skills and can be said to have become proficient through practice.

"Sister Lan, that's not fair of you. That guy has infiltrated our Illusionary Sound Academy several times to steal our skills, hasn't he? You helped him, didn't you?"

Tang Yuehua pretended to have guessed, and looked at Lan Luan reproachfully, bringing the matter to light.

"When we get to Wuhun City, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll cover all your meals during the competition."

Lan Luan smiled and apologized as if following the script. They were best friends, and some things were much easier to explain to outsiders.

After chatting for a while, when the time came, Tian Hao conjured Xuanbing Wings and flew into the competition arena below, surveying the sixteen teams around him.

"I don't like being ganged up on; I only like ganging up on others. So, sorry!"

"Mystic Ice Dragon Soars!"

With a light laugh, Tian Hao manifested the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Spear, guiding out a massive amount of ultimate Xuanbing Soul Power within it, and rapidly shaping a hundred-meter-long Xuanbing Divine Dragon based on the ultimate Xuanbing Domain.

That wasn't all. As the ultimate Xuanbing Soul Power continued to erupt, a Xuanbing Divine Dragon split off from the original ice dragon, then a second, a third, a fourth...

Finally, seven hundred-meter-long Xuanbing Divine Dragons manifested and surrounded the sixteen teams. Their enormous dragon heads looked down, and together they formed a sky-covering spectacle.

Even more terrifying was the massive surge of cold air that caused the entire arena to freeze into a thick layer of frost. If the spectators hadn't all possessed a certain level of cultivation, the aftershocks of this single attack would have been enough to cause casualties.

The sixteen teams surrounded by the seven Xuanbing Divine Dragons were completely dumbfounded. When they received the challenge last night, they knew that they would be facing a prodigy today whose methods were absolutely terrifying.

But I really didn't expect it to be so outrageous. Where did Tianshui Academy find such a monster?

Not to mention the other teams were dumbfounded, the girls from Tianshui Academy were also blinking their eyes in a daze, their little heads blank.

They knew that the dean had brought a prodigy to the academy this time, and that he was a man, breaking the tradition of Tianshui Academy not accepting men.

I just didn't expect this captain to be so fierce.

We're convinced!

In the end, the captain of one of the teams had no choice but to concede defeat, acknowledging that the other player's reputation as a prodigy and a guardian swordsman.

With someone taking the lead, the other teams naturally wouldn't foolishly stubbornly resist, and they all conceded defeat and left the field.

It's not that they're cowards, it's that their opponents are just too inhuman.

Those seven hundred-meter-long ice dragons were definitely no weaker than the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo, which was equivalent to the combined attack of seven Title Douluos. How could they possibly win?

Moreover, with such a massive size, a single blow would pulverize their small bodies; there's no need to risk their lives.

What's most terrifying is that those seven ice dragons are not only enormous, but they can also hover and coil in the air, as agile as a dragon-like spirit beast.

With such a huge gap in skill, there's nothing shameful about admitting defeat.

"Aren't the last people from both families going to show their faces?"

Feng Aotian turned his gaze from the seven hundred-meter-long ice dragons back to Hu Yankai and Tang Yuehua, whose faces were solemn.

Back when the qualifiers started, he had already tricked his two friends into revealing that both academies had prodigies this year, the two who had been absent from the team for so long.

Since those two are prodigies, they should at least show their faces, especially since the one from the Tianshui team is already worthy of our attention.

"Do you want to tear this place down?"

Before Tang Yuehua and the other woman could respond, Ying Mei rolled her eyes. Only this guy could ask such an idiotic question.

"It seems so."

Feng Aotian, who had just come to his senses, looked at the seven coiled hundred-meter-long dragons and then at the venue, and realized that it really wasn't enough to cause any trouble.

After Tian Hao, who was standing on an ice dragon, and the other sixteen teams below all conceded defeat and retreated, he withdrew the ultimate Xuanbing Soul Power that constituted the ice dragon through his domain, and the seven hundred-meter-long ice dragons also collapsed.

After all, it was a creation condensed purely from soul power, not a physical existence. That's why it was able to fly and hover before; otherwise, it would have just been bouncing around on the ground.

After landing on the field, Tian Hao bowed to Sword Douluo in the main grandstand as if he were a disciple, before flapping his Xuanbing Wings and flying back to the grandstand.

"Is that also His Majesty's disciple?"

Prince Xuezhou asked curiously, as he hadn't found anything about the prodigy from the Tianshui team before, but he didn't expect that he was related to Sword Douluo.

Is he another disciple of Sword Douluo?

"That child once sneaked into the Sword Sect to steal their skills, but I didn't expose him, so he's considered half a disciple."

According to Yuehua's investigation, the child seems to have some conflict with the Spirit Hall.

Chen Xin said a line according to the script and showed a bit of appreciation for talent; his acting skills could only go so far.

However, everyone knows his persona, so it's normal for him to not have many expressions; that's enough to fool everyone.

As expected, Xue Zhou and the others believed it without a doubt and began to have some ulterior motives.

It's good to have a conflict with the Spirit Hall. They are most afraid of the Spirit Hall, even more so than of the Star Luo Empire on the other side.

Anyone who is an enemy of the Spirit Hall is their friend.

Prince Xue Zhou was even planning to send his eldest nephew, Xue Qinghe, to Tianshui Academy to win him over and increase support for the academy, aiming to upgrade it into a Soul Master University as soon as possible.

"No, Qinghe alone is not enough. We need to call Ke'er over as well. After all, Tianshui Academy is an all-girls school, and it's not convenient for Qinghe to go alone."

Prince Xue Zhou thought of the special nature of Tianshui Academy. Tianshui Academy itself only recruits female students. Although there is another school that specifically recruits and teaches male students, it has never been recognized by Tianshui Academy and is not even qualified to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

Therefore, Tianshui Academy is an all-girls school, so it's inconvenient for my nephew to go alone. He needs to bring Ke along. I believe that with Ke's abilities, she will definitely be able to quickly become friends with the girls at Tianshui Academy.

Regardless of Xue Zhou and the others' thoughts, Tian Hao did not linger there and soon followed Lan Luan and the Tianshui team back to their residence.

That's right, it's a mansion.

According to the old rules, only those academies with powerful families or sects backing them would have the financial resources to set up strongholds and residences in Tiandou City, such as Elephant Armor Academy.

Those like Tianshui Academy, without powerful backing, can only stay in hotels, since maintaining a mansion in the capital city where land is incredibly expensive is no small feat.

However, since the capital was moved during the snowy night, the former Tiandou City, now Xuefeng City, had a large open space. Prince Xuezhou, who was in charge of the reconstruction, generously built simple residences for each advanced soul master academy.

Although financial problems prevented the construction of luxurious buildings, the existing foundation was still there. Even the fire did not destroy much of the structure, since many things were built with stone, which is not afraid of fire and at least ordinary flames could not burn it.

So it only requires a simple repair and won't cost much.

Prince Xue Zhou even allocated residences to the advanced soul master academies within the four kingdoms and duchies. As a result, Tianshui Academy was allocated a nice residence, which was said to have been the ancestral land of a great noble family.

After taking someone to a secret underground chamber under the guise of secluded cultivation, Lan Luan went to Tang Yuehua's residence next door, where Ying Mei was already waiting.

The three of them entered the underground chamber that had been prepared beforehand. Then, a spatial portal opened, and someone walked out. Who else could it be but Tian Hao?

And it still retains its original appearance.

"You heartless bastard, you've been gone for months."

Yingmei, the most fiery and daring of them all, pounced on him first, like a koala clinging to him, giving him a fierce kiss, followed by a heart full of resentment.

Although I was pushed to the limit every day during that period, experiencing the terror of life and death, the feeling inside was truly profound. After that big liar left, the loneliness in my heart was indescribable, and I felt uneasy every day.

"I have no choice. Our enemy is too strong. I can only have the last laugh by making more plans. I don't want to leave these troubles to our children."

Holding up the bouncy, juicy peach, Tian Hao said helplessly, "It's all for our future."

Although reasoning with women is inefficient, you can't just spoil them; sometimes you have to talk to them.

Of course, you have to be careful about how you reason with people. You can't just talk about principles; you have to bring up the future and the children. That way, you can connect with them more on their hearts.

Sure enough, when the topic turned to the children of the future, Yingmei's beautiful, fiery red eyes became somewhat dreamy.

"Can I have your child?"

Yingmei leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling somewhat inferior.

After all, she was a married woman with two children.

She was already content to be this man's woman and dared not hope for anything more, let alone bear his child.

Therefore, she secretly used fire-attribute soul power to extinguish all those previous pregnancies to prevent herself from actually getting pregnant.

Lan Luan also lowered her head because of this topic, feeling somewhat inferior as well.

She doesn't regret marrying that scumbag back then, after all, she once truly loved him. But since they were already married, she felt it was unfair to the man in front of her, so like her best friend Yingmei, she never dared to hope to have a child with this man.

“We’re boyfriend and girlfriend now. Once we’ve finished dating, we’ll get married. As husband and wife, you’ll naturally have to have kids for me, and a whole bunch of them, two or three every year.”

Sensing Yiren's unease and inferiority complex, Tian Hao held her tightly in his arms, and at the same time reached out and hugged Lan Luan beside him as well, holding her very tightly, giving her a sense of security.

"Do you think I'm a sow?!"

Yingmei laughed upon hearing this, giving him a charmingly coquettish glare.

"I was serious."

Tian Hao's expression was serious, but his eyes were gentle.

He has always been gentle and serious with his women. Since these two women have chosen to follow him, he will give them a complete love and family.

"love me!"

Seeing the man's seriousness, Yingmei's heart raced, and she exhaled hot breath, her snow-white skin quickly turning pink.
