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

This is a deeper development of his first soul skill, transforming the original control-type soul skill into a piercing-type offensive soul skill that can pierce through a tree trunk with a diameter of one meter in one strike.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing retreated several steps, poised to strike.

This method was naturally no match for Tian Hao. Even if he only displayed the combat power of an ordinary Soul Saint, it was still far beyond what Tang San's three Soul Skills could restrain him.

The instant the blue silver grass pierced through, the sphere formed by the blue silver grass was sliced ​​open by a sword aura, and a figure emerged, none other than Tian... no, Yue.

Tian Hao's clothes and hair were not disheveled at all, indicating that the attack had no effect on him and had not even touched his body.

"Although you've taken the wrong path, there's a deeper way to develop it: Soul Ring Fusion. It's about combining Soul Ring skills to leverage their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses..."

While continuing to sever Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, Tian Hao offered guidance as he moved forward.

Tang San frowned as he listened. He had heard his teacher mention the term "fusion ring" before, but it seemed that his teacher hadn't studied it in great depth. However, upon closer examination, it did seem to be a viable path.

Although he was pondering, Tang San continued his offensive without stopping, acting as the main force to attract someone's attention and attacks.

Zhu Zhuqing was also using three soul skills, including the Heavenly Demon Technique passed down from her family, which interfered from the side. Her combat power was even stronger than what Tang San showed when he used Blue Silver Grass.

Especially with the assistance of Ning Rongrong's three soul skills, his combat power is no less than that of a Soul Master, and he can even go toe-to-toe with a Soul King.

In comparison, Xiao Wu performed the worst and was the weakest. She only had three soul skills available, but two of those skills were ineffective against any one person, leaving only the last one.

"Teleportation!"

"Charm!"

Suddenly teleporting in front of someone, he then activated his second soul skill, his eyes turning into a bewitching pink, and a mental wave rushed straight into Tian Hao's eyes.

However, the moment that mental fluctuation approached, it was shattered by Tian Hao's instinctive counterattack of sword intent, which also caused a strong backlash to Xiao Wu.

"what!"

With a painful scream, Xiao Wu immediately succumbed to the backlash and fainted.

"Little dance!"

Tang San, startled, hurriedly used his Blue Silver Entanglement technique combined with the Dragon-Capturing Crane-Controlling technique to pull Xiao Wu back, his heart filled with anxiety and concern, even a chilling murderous intent.

He said he would never let anyone hurt Xiao Wu again!

Chapter 555 Blood and Tears of the Chaotic Cloak

"Tang San, Xiao Wu was just affected by the backlash of the teacher's sword intent, her charm skill will be fine after a good night's sleep. Quickly cooperate with Zhu Zhuqing to continue the assessment."

Seeing that Tang San was abandoning his cooperation with Zhu Zhuqing in the battle for Xiao Wu's sake, Ning Rongrong quickly spoke up to remind him.

In the previous battle, Tang San's way of assisting Zhu Zhuqing was to use the Blue Silver Grass to create footholds, which allowed him to better utilize her speed advantage.

However, Tang San abandoned his support for Zhu Zhuqing in order to catch Xiao Wu, which made her speed and movement less fluid and fast than before, greatly affecting her combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, without proper coordination, Zhu Zhuqing's movement speed and landing point were greatly reduced, and her attack speed was reduced by more than half.

It's just that Tian Hao didn't take the initiative to attack; otherwise, he could have taken down Zhu Zhuqing instantly.

"What did your teachers teach you? Don't you know it's common sense that you can't use mental skills on a Soul Master who practices swordsmanship?"

Ning Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore. She used her soul power to burst out and ran over to take Xiao Wu from Tang San's arms. She asked a question in exasperation, then ran back behind Dai Mubai with Xiao Wu in her arms, continuing to use her as a shield.

Although Xiao Wu was taken away, Tang San's mentality had already been affected, and he could no longer cooperate with Zhu Zhuqing as perfectly as before.

Seeing that Tang San was not in a good state, Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and decided not to rely on him anymore, and used her self-created soul skill that she had not yet fully mastered.

"Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon!"

He first unleashed his third soul skill, clasping his hands together to condense a black light blade, and infusing it with the sword intent he had recently cultivated to increase its sharpness.

He then used the Heavenly Demon Eight Steps technique he learned from his family to appear beside Tian Hao as if by teleportation. He unleashed the Netherworld Slash, infused with sword intent, but Tian Hao struck it with a single finger.

But Zhu Zhuqing was not discouraged. Her figure suddenly appeared on the other side as if she had a teleportation skill like Xiao Wu, and even left a shadow in the place, as if she had become two Zhu Zhuqing.

Faced with this attack, Tian Hao manipulated his long hair to condense into a longsword to defend, but Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed again and appeared in front of him, slashing down with her hands clasped together in the Netherworld Slash.

These three attacks were launched almost simultaneously at an extremely fast speed. Combined with the sharpness of the Netherworld Slash, even a Soul Emperor would be instantly defeated if caught off guard.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was facing Tian Hao, and no matter how fast she was, she couldn't outpace Tian Hao's perception.

The third strike was also blocked by a sword aura emanating from a hair. Just as Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue using the fourth step of the Heavenly Demon Eight Steps, she was gently pushed in the abdomen by a soul force, and her body flew to the side. At the same time, a gentle voice entered her ears.

"You've reached your limit, step down!"

Upon landing, Zhu Zhuqing staggered, eventually collapsing to one knee due to weakness in her legs.

He tried to struggle to stand up, but all he felt in his legs was intense pain and weakness, clearly the damage caused by overexerting himself with the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon.

"I'll help you back down."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong stepped forward to help Zhu Zhuqing up, and then quickly retreated behind Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai frowned and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, whose legs were weak. His eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything and continued to pay attention to Tang San in the arena.

He had long seen that Tang San was the most secretive among the four, and that his physical qualities were either due to cultivating a body-refining method like the Vajra Dragon Elephant Sect, or refining a high-age soul bone.

Regardless of which one it is, it's clear that the opponent's combat strength is far greater than what they're currently displaying.

"Haven't you recovered your mindset yet? With your intelligence and composure, you shouldn't be like this."

As Tian Hao continued to slash at the Blue Silver Grass with his sword, he asked calmly, showing a hint of doubt, as if he was puzzled as to why Tang San's state had changed so drastically.

Then, as if he understood something, he glanced at Xiao Wu, who was resting on the ground, and said knowingly, "Because of love? You young people are really precocious, starting to talk about love at the age of twelve."

However, your mindset won't work. If you truly love her, you should maintain a stable and calm state of mind. Only then can you better protect the person you want to protect.

"Senior is right, the battle is not over yet."

Reminded, Tang San took a deep breath to calm himself down. He glanced at the incense stick, which was already half-burnt, and knew he had to use his real skills.

By this point, he no longer had any intention of hiding his strength.

Xiao Wu's injury and coma greatly affected him, and he was filled with self-blame.

He had previously promised to protect Xiao Wu, and anyone who wanted to harm her would have to step over his dead body first.

Now, as an older brother who failed to protect his younger sister, if he cannot seek justice after his sister was bullied and harmed, what right does he have to accept the title of "older brother"?

Moreover, there is a saying in the general outline of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu: Never try to play the fool to eat the tiger, otherwise you will easily become a pig, or even a dead pig.

Only now did he truly understand the meaning of those words. This time, he was facing a teacher from Shrek Academy, not a real enemy. Otherwise, Xiao Wu would probably be in grave danger.

Furthermore, because he concealed his true strength and did not use his ultimate move, he also bore a great responsibility for Xiao Wu's injury. If anything were to happen to Xiao Wu, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he decided to stop hiding his abilities and also wanted to use Teacher Yue to verify the true level of his own strength.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to ask Ning Rongrong to remove her support skills, because the opponent was too strong. They were rendered helpless without him even taking the initiative to attack, and two of them were eliminated. Such strength did not allow him to be overconfident.

Not to mention that it also concerns the entrance examination, so failure is absolutely unacceptable.

Although he had his teacher's letter, which would guarantee his admission to Shrek Academy even if he failed the exam, it would inevitably cause his teacher to lose face. As his disciple, he had to stand up for his teacher.

Especially since this person had previously belittled the teacher, he was even more determined to prove the teacher's teachings were correct.

"Are they going to use their true strength? I'm looking forward to it."

Tian Hao stopped in his tracks, looking quite intrigued.

"Senior, please forgive me!"

Tang San let out a long breath, took a step forward, and his hands gradually turned as white as jade, which was the Xuan Yu Hand from the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.

It is as smooth and cold as jade, and immune to all poisons!

At the same time, his eyes turned deep purple, and even more light shimmered. This was the Purple Extreme Demon Eye, the eye-training method of the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, and it was the Purple Extreme Demon Eye that had reached the Mustard Seed Realm, making his observation ability even stronger.

"A self-created soul skill that cultivates the eyes is quite rare."

With a curious expression, Tian Hao said it was the first time he had seen it.

Tang San, fully prepared, activated his Xuan Tian Gong, pushing himself to his peak condition. He swept his hands across the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist, and then, with a wave of his hands, dozens of cold lights shot out, moving so fast that it was impossible to see what they were.

"Ghostly Shadow Step!"

With his hands moving non-stop and his legs not standing still either, he unleashed the Ghostly Shadow Step, moving swiftly while employing numerous feints to confuse his opponent and make it impossible to predict where he would move next. It was quite eerie and truly lived up to the name Ghostly Shadow Step.

That's not all. While using various techniques from the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons to unleash different hidden weapons, Tang San also used the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique to manipulate the trajectory of the hidden weapons to constantly change, even creating arc-shaped attack trajectories, making it even harder for his opponents to defend against.

In his previous life, he had mastered all the techniques in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record's Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons. Although he is currently limited by the level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and cannot use them all perfectly, he still has no problem with most of the techniques.

However, all of this was in vain. Even with the addition of mechanical hidden weapons, it was still difficult to harm Tian Hao.

Without even wielding a longsword, he merely manipulated his long hair behind him to disperse into ten sword shapes, thus deflecting the various hidden weapons that were shot at him.

Even powerful mechanical concealed weapons were easily blocked and could not be shaken in the slightest.

Even so, Tang San's skill with hidden weapons amazed Dai Mubai and the other two, who even asked themselves if they could withstand such a ferocious attack.

"It's a duplicate."

Tian Hao suddenly said something that made Tang San's heart skip a beat. He even stopped in his tracks, his face darkening with deep resentment and hesitation.

He understood what that person meant. He realized that the hidden weapon technique he used was indeed repeated, and he had just felt like he was being locked on. No matter how he used Ghost Shadow Steps, he couldn't avoid it.

Clearly, the other party has lost interest in continuing the fight. If they were to take the initiative, he wouldn't be able to dodge and would undoubtedly lose.

"If you could trust each other and cooperate well, it wouldn't be difficult for you to withstand my offensive for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Unfortunately, you couldn't do it."

Little did you know that was my true test for you, so I hereby declare you have failed.

After glancing at Tang San and then at Ning Rongrong and the other two, Tian Hao turned around and prepared to go back to the stone table to continue playing chess.

"Don't do that!"

Just then, Flander, who had been observing from the shadows, suddenly appeared and stopped him with a forced smile.

"Those four kids have exceptional talent, and some even have the potential to become prodigies. Let's give them another chance."

“You know my rules, and their failure wasn’t my fault; they brought it on themselves.”

After giving Tang Shenwang a cold look, Tian Hao continued walking forward, secretly waiting for his words.

I don't believe that after such enticement and coercion, you, Tang God King, can continue to endure it.

"Wait a minute, this battle isn't over yet!"

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, Tang Shenwang's voice came.

"Senior, I have another move called Blood Tears, which is a hidden weapon technique I created myself. Please take a look."
