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

Xiao Wu was so angry that her face turned red, and she wished she could rush up and drag those two people over to beat them up.

"Xiao Wu, forget it."

Grabbing Xiao Wu's wrist, Tang San walked toward the exit passage behind him with a gloomy expression.

He had long guessed that last night's events would have some impact, but he didn't expect the impact to be this great.

"I'm sorry, we can adjust the arrangement of our opponents, but we can't force them to fight."

Ao Ying, watching from above, looked apologetic and helpless. This was the main reason why he disliked those bloodthirsty people, especially those who relied on external forces, as they would seriously disrupt the rules of the Great Soul Arena.

At this rate, those two will probably be able to obtain the Silver Battle Soul Badge, or even the Gold Battle Soul Badge, in no time.

Flander's face darkened, but he was also helpless. There was no good way to deal with this situation, after all, he couldn't force the other party to fight.

Dai Mubai and the others remained silent, equally at a loss for what to do.

"Manager Ao, there's no need to apologize. This isn't your fault; it's our problem. How have you handled similar situations before?"

Tian Hao asked, quite curious about this.

“There is no precedent for this. Although there have been ruthless people who have brutally killed their opponents in the past, they all relied on their own strength to do so. But they used a powerful crossbow, the power of which I'm afraid even a Soul King couldn't withstand. We have no way to deal with it.”

Ao Ying was also helpless. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and there was no precedent to refer to. However, according to his style, he would definitely kick that kind of person out.

"I propose that their duel at the Great Soul Arena be suspended."

Tian Hao looked at Flander.

He was just a teacher leading the team, so it wasn't his place to make decisions on these things; he could only offer suggestions, which Flanders had to approve.

"It was you guys, it really was you who did this."

Just then, Xiao Wu returned with Tang San and overheard someone's words. Her anger immediately flared up, and she glared at the person resentfully.

These words and this appearance made Tian Hao's face twitch slightly, but he ignored it and continued to look at Flander.

"Mistress, you should rest for a while and see how things go after this blows over."

After thinking for a moment, Flander said to Tang San that he hadn't bothered with the little rabbit.

"I understand, Dean."

Nodding, Tang San calmly held Xiao Wu's hand tightly, silencing her.

After watching Ma Hongjun and Oscar's two-on-two battle, Tian Hao headed to the main arena because there was a team battle scheduled for that day.

However, because of Tang San and Xiao Wu's situation, the atmosphere on their side was very somber. No one spoke during the battle, and after watching, everyone silently left and returned to the academy.

This situation lasted for two or three days before it came to an end because Oscar broke through to level 40.

Compared to his original destiny, now with the blessing of divine power and Oscar's innate full soul power, he has reached level 40 at the age of fourteen.

Don't be fooled by how much fun he used to have hanging out with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun; he only damaged his body, but he never neglected his cultivation.

Moreover, because he is a food-type support-type Soul Master, he does not need to undergo combat training and has more time to cultivate his Soul Power to increase his level, so his Soul Power increases faster.

Of course, this is only in the early stages of a Soul Master's cultivation, and before the age of twenty. After that, the cultivation speed will slow down, especially in terms of breaking through levels and realms, where support-type Soul Masters will be at a disadvantage.

Now that they've broken through to level 40, they naturally need to acquire a soul ring.

"I suggest you wait until your soul power reaches the level 40 limit before trying to obtain a soul ring."

In the afternoon, Tian Hao, who was leading the students to the Great Soul Arena at the village entrance as usual, heard the good news from Oscar and kindly offered a reminder.

There are also differences between the levels of Soul Masters, just like the experience bars between each level in the game in the previous life. Oscar has just broken through to level 40, which is equivalent to zero percent of the experience of level 40.

If you can cultivate to level 40 with 100% experience, you can refine the soul ring and use its soul power to break through the bottleneck, and you can also improve further afterward.

Of course, this is only secondary. Once Oscar's soul power reaches the level 40 limit, he will be able to withstand better soul ring impacts. Although the improvement will not be much, it will still be a kind of improvement.

He might not have noticed it before, but now that he has, and I am the teacher in charge, I naturally have to remind him.

Tian Hao's suggestion made Oscar, who was overjoyed, freeze, and then fall silent. He neither refused nor agreed.

"Do you want to hunt for a spirit ring, or spend money to buy one?"

Seeing Oscar's meaning, Tian Hao didn't pay attention and asked him which method he wanted to use to obtain the spirit ring.

He was just fulfilling his responsibilities as a teacher; whether others listened or not was their business, and it was none of his concern.

"Teacher Yue, I am a poor man and don't have much savings."

Scratching his head in frustration, Oscar had no choice but to hunt for spirit rings. After all, there were so many teachers in the academy, especially the dean, who was a titled Douluo. What kind of spirit ring couldn't he get?

"Tonight's practical training session at the Great Soul Arena is canceled. Get some rest tonight, and tomorrow you'll go hunting for Soul Rings with Dean Flander."

Tian Hao signaled for the group to disperse and go back to rest. After all, they were about to hunt for spirit rings, and there was no need to engage in actual combat late at night, lest it affect their condition later.

Going to the Soul Beast Forest next was much tougher than staying at the academy; you'd have to endure a lot more hardship there.

Aren't you leading the team there?

Flanders was taken aback; he had assumed the man would follow.

"You only gave them a monthly salary of one hundred gold soul coins. Taking these little guys to the Great Soul Arena and giving them some pointers is enough. Don't be too greedy."

Glancing sideways, Tian Hao couldn't stand the guy's greedy nature, which reminded him of his previous life as a corporate slave.

After saying that, he ignored everyone, pointed his finger at the foreheads of Ning Rongrong and the other two women, and then took a step out, breaking through space and leaving.

"Ahem... Everyone go back and rest first. We'll set off for Star... Sunset Forest tomorrow morning."

With a dry cough, Flander gestured for everyone to go back and rest, then slipped away.

Old Yue's words left him speechless. After all, he had only been given a monthly salary of one hundred gold soul coins, and he had no face to ask for more.

Ning Rongrong and the other two girls touched their foreheads where they had been tapped, not understanding what the teacher meant.

"The Dean must be referring to the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Oscar complained in frustration that they were closer to the Star Dou Great Forest, while the Sunset Forest was two or three thousand miles away.

Moreover, given the dean's stingy nature, he definitely wouldn't spend money to hire carriages and horses for them. Tomorrow, he'll absolutely use the excuse of running training to send them to Sunset Forest.

"The Star Dou Great Forest has long been a forbidden zone for Title Douluos. If the Dean really goes there, he will definitely provoke those super soul beasts, and then we will all die."

Dai Mubai could understand why Flander suddenly changed his mind. After all, their Star Luo Empire had previously probed the Star Dou Great Forest many times and suffered heavy losses. They were well aware of the dangers within.

Moreover, the spirit beasts there are particularly sensitive to human titled Douluo; once they are detected, they will inevitably send out super spirit beasts.

If it were Teacher Yue leading the team, there wouldn't be much of a problem. Unfortunately, Dean Flanders was far too inadequate; going there would have been suicide.

"Next, we'll run to Sunset Forest and then run back. We definitely won't have time or the mood to wash our clothes during that time, so everyone should prepare some durable shoes and changes of clothes tonight."

Also, avoid wearing high heels; try to wear low heels instead.

Walking to the front of the line, Dai Mubai, adopting the demeanor of a senior student, reminded everyone.

He had gone there to hunt for spirit rings last time, so he knew all too well the hardships involved. As someone who had been there before, a senior, and the leader of the team, he naturally had to give a reminder, which would also earn him the favor of the others.

"what?"

The others were fine, but Ao Jiu'er was stunned.

As a food-type Soul Master, although she has some physical training, it is only average, slightly stronger than the average person. If she were to actually run into Sunset Forest, her legs would definitely be ruined.

"Zhuqing and I will help you run away, sister. You'll get better once you've mastered the master's secret technique."

Ning Rongrong comforted her, saying that after spending these past few days together, they had become good sisters, not to mention that they were also fellow disciples, so naturally they had to help each other.

“Let’s go to Soto City. I know a few shops there with very good reputations.”

Knowing that the long march ahead was unavoidable, Ao Jiu'er prepared to go to Soto City to buy supplies and even planned to talk to her father and ask him to help her get some good things to use on the way.

The three sisters decided to set off soon for Soto to do a big shopping spree.

Dai Mubai also led a few others to set off together. After all, it was an extremely long journey, especially since they would be entering a dangerous place like the Sunset Forest, so they needed to prepare a lot of things.

You definitely can't get it at the academy; you'll have to go to Soto City.

……

Upon learning that his daughter was going on a long journey, Ao Ying personally took her to a shop and presented her with a black card. She was quickly led to the back of the shop to enjoy special services.

The shopkeeper and Ao Ying were old acquaintances. After hearing their purpose, he led them to the private warehouse at the back.

"Everything here was made by my own hands, and even in the capital, it would be considered a rare gem."

For example, these shoes are not only soft and breathable, but the soles are also made of special materials that are soft and elastic. Even if you run all day, your feet won't feel sore.

Moreover, these soles have strong adhesion, even sticking to shiny glass, and are excellent for climbing trees and mountains, all without making a sound.

The only downside is that it's not durable; its elasticity will decrease, and the extent of the decrease depends on the intensity of your use.

"Judging from your clothes, you two are definitely not short of money. And if you want more than ten pairs, I can give you a discount—ten gold soul coins per pair. Is that acceptable?"

After boasting proudly for a while, the shopkeeper picked up a pair of shoes and handed them to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. As for Ao Jiu'er, he didn't give her any, because they were all people he knew well. The girl even called him "uncle," so they were family and there was no need to say too much.

Ning Rongrong didn't stand on ceremony and picked them up to try on. They were indeed very comfortable.

"The shoes are a bit too big, please exchange them for smaller ones. I'll start with a hundred pairs."

Ning Rongrong generously ordered a hundred pairs, and Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

As an agility-based Soul Master, the requirements for shoes are naturally very high, and these shoes are indeed excellent.

As for its lack of durability, is that really a problem for her, the third young lady of the Youming Zhu family?

And it's also convenient because you don't need to wash it; you can just throw it away after use.

The shopkeeper then picked up two sets of silk underwear and explained, "These are made from spider silk that has been around for thousands of years. They are very tough and have excellent protection against sharp weapons."

Injecting soul power into it also allows the spider silk to expand rapidly, providing excellent defense against blunt force attacks.

The price is a bit higher, 10,000 gold soul coins for a set, but it's very durable and easy to clean. Just rinse it with water and it'll be clean. One set should last a year without any problems.

"One set to fit our body type!"

Zhu Zhuqing took the spider silk underwear, tugged at it, and even used her martial spirit to scratch it with her claws. Finally, she nodded to Ning Rongrong to indicate that it was reliable. Ning Rongrong once again generously agreed to take delivery.

The shop owner recommended some more products to the two, including shampoo and body wash. However, unlike the usual scented ones, the ones here not only had no fragrance, but also suppressed the user's own scent.

After all, we were going to enter the Soul Beast Forest, and most of the Soul Beasts have a keen sense of smell. If we went in with a fragrance on us, we would easily be spotted by the Soul Beasts.

In addition, there are many other small items, such as mosquito repellent, multi-functional tents that can be used in various terrains, small stoves that do not require fire, and vegetarian food that can be stored for a long time, all of which are very practical.

In total, the two of them spent nearly 20,000 gold soul coins each, with the bulk of the money going towards the set of ten-thousand-year spider silk underwear.
