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

But to be honest, was Guo Xiang's feeling for Yang Guo truly love?

Obviously not. It was just a crush, plus the factors of first love and personality, and then she remembered it for a lifetime. She even became a nun in the end, causing the Guo family line to end.

Poseidon is in a similar situation. She definitely has feelings for Tang Chen, but it's not quite love. Tang Chen is probably in a similar situation as well.

Otherwise, if Tang Chen truly loved Poseidon, he certainly wouldn't have let Tang San inherit the Sea God's position, but rather let him inherit the Asura God's position, because at that time he already knew about Poseidon's mission.

Unfortunately, he only left the Asura Demon Sword for Tang San to choose from, without forcing Tang San to give up the Sea God's position, thus allowing Poseidon to avoid sacrifice and survive.

Tang Chen's final choice must have been based on many considerations, but it undoubtedly proves that his love for Poseidon was not enough, at least not the most important person in his heart.

Chapter 540 Asking the Way of the Haotian Sect Ancestors

Although Poseidon was misled by someone and began to doubt his life, it did not affect the competition. Whether it was a coincidence or something else, in the round before the finals, Tian Hao's King Zhou... no, it was King Zhou disguised as King Zhou facing off against the Spirit Hall Academy team.

As usual, after the ordinary team members from both sides had their battles, Tian Hao, disguised as King Zhou, faced off against the prodigy of the Spirit Hall Academy team. This time, he didn't use a clone, but rather an opponent personally arranged by his great-grandfather, named Qian Xun Ji!

A name that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

"One strike will decide the outcome!"

With golden wings flapping behind her, Chihiro-hime coldly and arrogantly revealed her method for the final battle.

"One strike will decide the outcome!"

Tian Hao nodded and did not refuse.

Upon receiving Tian Hao's response, Qian Xunji's golden wings flapped and soared into the sky. Her golden angelic domain expanded, and a flaming sword materialized in her hand. It even resonated faintly with the sun, causing countless rays of light to be distorted and converge towards the flaming sword, darkening the surrounding sky.

"Four ultimate attributes!"

Sensing the soul power attribute that the angel girl was unleashing, Poseidon was completely numb, as was the sea god's divine sense.

They sensed the ultimate light, ultimate fire, and ultimate holiness emanating from the angel girl, along with ultimate sword intent. The ultimate holiness attribute had also fused with the ultimate fire attribute to form a composite attribute.

This is ridiculously strong!

Even the angel gods of yesteryear didn't have such luxurious attributes. How exactly did the Spirit Hall cultivate the six-winged angel inheritor to that level?

Not scientific!

Seeing Qianxunji unleash her amazing attributes, Tian Hao, who was transformed into King Zhou below, was speechless. This girl arranged by his great-grandfather was really not easy to deal with!

Of course, despite the感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), the drama must continue.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar came from his mouth. Tian Hao did not use the Heavenly Demon Tiger Transformation, but instead manifested the Heavenly Demon Tiger Martial Soul, turning it into a phantom image, and at the same time, he released his soul power to fill it.

The ultimate dark demon domain unfolded, devouring all surrounding energy, including the primordial energy of heaven and earth and various elemental forces. Through the powerful devouring ability of the ultimate dark demon domain, it was transformed into dark demon soul power and merged into the phantom of the Heavenly Demon Tiger.

As a massive amount of soul power was integrated, the Heavenly Demon Tiger grew larger and larger, quickly transforming into a colossal creature 100 meters tall and 300 meters long.

If the venue weren't huge enough, it really wouldn't be able to accommodate such a behemoth.

After stabilizing its position, under Tian Hao's control, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Martial Soul raised its head, and its huge mouth opened, where black Dark Demon Soul Power and golden Vajra Soul Power perfectly merged, transforming into a dark golden light sphere.

That wasn't all. After fusing the Dark Demon Soul Power and the Vajra Soul Power, Tian Hao then infused his sword intent into them.

High in the sky, Chihiro quickly gathered her power to the limit of what she could control, and a ball of light, or rather a fireball, resembling the sun condensed on the tip of her sword.

In her previous life, Chihiro fused the divine and fire attributes into the Holy Flame attribute. Although she was reborn as a different person, this power was preserved. With the help of Chihiro, she cultivated all three attributes to their limits. Even her sword intent was driven to its limit by the divine attribute, making her extremely powerful.

The power of this move, now based on the Holy Flame and infused with the Light attribute and ultimate sword intent, is unimaginable.

"Judgment by the Holy Blade!"

After gathering his strength to the limit, he suddenly swung his sword down.

The sphere of light transformed into a beam of light that shot down at incredible speed, generating extremely high temperatures that scorched and distorted the air itself.

Compared to Chihiro's high profile, Tian Hao was much more low-key, or perhaps because his hand was occupied, he couldn't shout out the name of his move to increase his momentum.

The dark golden orb that had been gathering power in his mouth for a long time transformed into a beam of light and shot out, clashing with the golden beam of light that was shot down.

The two beams of light collided midway and began to clash and wear each other down.

Meanwhile, Tian Hao continued to use the Dark Demon Domain to absorb the spiritual energy and elemental power of heaven and earth, transforming them into power to enhance his verbal skills, and used the Dark Demon Domain to fight against Qianxunji's Angel Domain.

And so, the two major domains, one gold and one black, clashed continuously. The angelic domain was purifying the dark demonic domain, while the dark demonic domain was devouring the angelic domain. The two fought each other fiercely, neither giving an inch.

The two beams of light were also locked in combat, and it was impossible to tell which one would prevail in the end, but Tian Hao did not intend to continue the stalemate indefinitely.

The Dark Demon Domain gradually transformed into a gigantic, illusory tiger head. Its massive maw opened and swallowed Chihiro and the Angel Domain whole, preventing her from using the Angel Domain to continue drawing upon sunlight to enhance her explosive power.

Upon seeing this, Qian Daoliu stood up abruptly, but was immediately suppressed by a sudden burst of killing intent. Poseidon turned his head and saw that it was the Sword Douluo who was unleashing his killing intent, clearly warning Qian Daoliu not to interfere in the match.

She wasn't surprised by this. She had talked to that kid about the Sword Douluo before, and he said that the kid was a very reliable person. Before she came, the kid was under the protection of the Sword Douluo, otherwise he would have been killed by the Spirit Hall long ago.

The black tiger's head kept shrinking, as if it wanted to devour and digest Chihiro-hime inside.

As it continued to shrink, when it reached a size of ten meters, a golden sword aura broke through and flew out, followed by a disheveled golden figure, none other than Qianxunji.

You win!

Taking a breath, Qianxunji looked down at the giant black tiger below, left a resentful remark, and flew back to the Spirit Hall team's stands.

She did lose this battle. Although she had a stronger explosive power, who would have thought that the other party had such strong control, and could even control the domain to launch an attack while fighting her with all her might.

However, she remembered this man and was determined to defeat him in the future.

Seeing Qianxunji admit defeat and fly away, Tian Hao then withdrew his Dark Demon Domain and manifested his expanded Martial Soul to return to his original form. However, his expression was not good, and a layer of golden flames was even burning on his body.

Without uttering a word, Tian Hao, disguised as King Zhou, left the field immediately after the referee announced his victory, clearly in poor condition.

Everyone witnessed this scene. Qian Xunji, standing in the stands of the Spirit Hall team, smiled slightly. Her Holy Flame was not so easy to swallow.

"father!"

Noticing that her fiancé was not behaving well, Zhu Zhuyun anxiously looked at her father. After her father nodded, she quickly left through the back passage.

"I'll go and see!"

At this moment, Dai Xueyi suddenly spoke, said something to the Duke of Youming, and then left with Zhu Zhuyun.

Meanwhile, Tian Hao, disguised as King Zhou, returned directly to the hotel, accompanied by Wang Hu, Zhu Zhuyun, and Dai Xueyi.

How can we help you?

Upon returning to the hotel, Zhu Zhuyun didn't waste any time and immediately asked how she could help.

"Soul Fusion Technique!"

Pretending to be in great pain, Tian Hao uttered a word and extended his right hand. Then, glancing at Dai Xueyi who was following behind his fiancée, he extended his left hand to signal for her to help.

Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Dai Xueyi with surprise, but said nothing. She reached out and grasped her fiancé's hand, resonating her soul power with his.

Dai Xueyi hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and grasped the other person's hand, transferring her soul power to him.

Because of her previous training, Zhu Zhuyun successfully completed the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Tian Hao, and her entire body merged into Tian Hao's body.

Dai Xueyi, on the other hand, used the power of her martial soul and head soul bone to achieve a high-level resonance with Tian Hao, and gradually merged into his body.

The three bodies disappeared, and a huge white-striped black tiger appeared in the room. It looked somewhat like the Netherworld White Tiger, but the black and white colors were reversed. It was a martial soul fusion technique.

After completing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Xueyi, Tian Hao began to operate, first extracting a small part of the origin of her eighth spirit ring, which was the most important task.

That's right, this time he took the initiative to guide Dai Xueyi over.

When Ghost Douluo brought back the upgraded head soul bone of the Radiant Vajra Tiger, he transformed the half of the White Tiger Martial Soul that he had previously separated into the purest primal power and integrated it into the head soul bone. Then, he had Ghost Douluo arrange for Dai Xueyi to obtain the soul bone and refine it, which created a resonance and attracted her.

After all, his current Heavenly Demon Tiger Martial Soul originated from the same source as it, so there was a strong resonance between them, which was enough to attract Dai Xueyi to come to him.

This was his original plan: to obtain Dai Xueyi's eighth soul ring origin silently through the fusion of martial souls. Even if the Asura God used the White Tiger God to examine Dai Xueyi's memories, there would be no flaws.

After extracting the Soul Ring's origin, Tian Hao split Qian Xun Ji's power, sealing the ultimate light into her body, and dividing the ultimate sword intent into three parts. He kept one part for himself and gave the other two parts to Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Xueyi respectively.

An hour later, Tian Hao ended the state of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and separated Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Xueyi from his body.

"You guys go back and refine it first, I can handle the rest."

After giving instructions to the two women, Tian Hao closed his eyes to cultivate.

Although golden holy flames still burned on his body, his soul power aura had stabilized, and he even unleashed his Dark Demon Domain to devour the golden holy flames.

He's alright now!

Wang Hu, who had been protecting her the whole time, said something and left the room first. Although Zhu Zhuyun was still very worried, she could only leave as well, with Dai Xueyi, who had been silent all along, following closely behind.

"Isn't the Dean going to give an explanation?"

Back in her suite, Zhu Zhuyun turned around and looked at Dai Xueyi, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She was quite puzzled when Dai Xueyi followed her back before, and then her fiancé was able to resonate with her and use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which made her feel very uneasy.

She is a very possessive woman and naturally does not want the man she has her eye on to have a relationship with other women.

"I don't know how to explain it; perhaps you could ask him."

After a moment of silence, Dai Xueyi ultimately offered no explanation.

She obtained that head spirit bone by chance some time ago. It was a rare 100,000-year spirit bone, and even the most precious head spirit bone, making it priceless.

If she were to reveal this secret, she would likely be targeted by others.

After all, a single head bone is enough for someone to refine a 100,000-year soul ring, and no one would be unmoved by it. It's even possible that someone within the royal family might have designs on it.

There was no other way; she guessed that this soul bone must belong to a Radiant Vajra Tiger, which was why it could perfectly match her own martial soul and even change her eyes.

If the royal family knew that they had obtained a 100,000-year-old Bright Vajra Tiger Head Soul Bone, even the old emperor who was in seclusion might be tempted.

As for family ties and such, that's a joke. There's no such thing as family ties when you're born into an imperial family.

Therefore, this secret cannot be told to anyone.

Zhu Zhuyun was naturally very dissatisfied with this answer, but there was nothing she could do. After all, in terms of status, Dai Xueyi, as the dean of the Royal Academy, was much higher than her, and now she was a titled Douluo with strength far exceeding her own. She had no right to question or interrogate her. If the other party didn't speak, there was nothing she could do.

However, she kept this in mind and knew she had to work twice as hard to cultivate and raise her soul power to level 50 as soon as possible before starting to hunt for 100,000-year soul rings.

At that time, I will be able to add five 100,000-year soul rings at once, and the 100,000-year soul rings will inevitably lead to a significant increase in soul power. It is not impossible to directly refine a sixth or even a seventh 100,000-year soul ring.

With seven 100,000-year soul rings at that time, he would be a true prodigy, and then he would be able to gain Wang Lang's approval and become a real betrothed.

Meanwhile, Dai Xueyi, back in her room, also meditated and cultivated diligently, refining the sword intent and light attribute soul power that person had transferred and sealed into her body.

She had naturally started practicing swordsmanship long ago, and had even been to the swordsmanship plaza of the Illusionary Sound Academy. However, her talent in swordsmanship was not very good, and she had not made any great progress.
