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

The thought filled him with guilt. It was all their fault that they had caused this trouble, and in the end, Rongrong was implicated. It was all his fault, and he was the one who had wronged Rongrong.

"What's wrong with him now?"

Quietly walking up to Dai Mubai's side, Ma Hongjun asked in a low voice, feeling that his best friend's current expression and state were quite frightening.

"He probably wanted to be a terrifying man."

After staring at him strangely for a while, Dai Mubai finally replied in a low voice, roughly guessing what Oscar was thinking.

He never expected that Oscar, known as a playboy, would have such a devoted side. What a character!

"A terrifying man?"

Blinking in bewilderment, Ma Hongjun didn't understand what these words meant, feeling like he wasn't on the same wavelength as his two best buddies.

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

Dai Mubai didn't explain, because he didn't know much about that type of terrifying man and didn't know how to explain it. In short, that kind of person was terrifying.

Chapter 565 The Way of Gems

"Did the teacher take her as a disciple to help us evolve our martial souls?"

After assisting Ning Rongrong in her cultivation, Tian Hao asked Ye Zhi Qiu to inform the restaurant to arrange a banquet to be delivered to the private room. He then ate and chatted with several students. Finally, Lian Xuefeng couldn't help but ask a question.

The teacher's strong desire to take Ning Rongrong as his apprentice last time made her very wary, but now it seems that he was just using her.

Shen Xinshui and the others, who were eating and drinking heartily, also stopped eating and listened attentively.

"Otherwise, do you really think I would take a little girl with a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as my disciple? If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were all dead except for her, that would be fine, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect isn't completely wiped out yet. If I really took that girl as my disciple, it would only cause more trouble in the future."

With amusement, Tian Hao glanced over, then his expression changed, and he earnestly began to deceive, "I have chosen to establish the Wanbao Sect based on a gem-type martial soul, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the most top-tier gem martial soul, so it will inevitably clash with it in the future."

There are generally two approaches to dealing with an opponent: either weaken them or strengthen yourself. I prefer to strengthen myself, so I plan to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to drive the evolution of your Martial Souls.

Unfortunately, that girl had a teacher who was no less capable than himself, making it impossible to directly confront her; he had to settle for second best.

"Giving her four 100,000-year soul rings would be too much of a sacrifice."

Ye Zhi Qiu felt regretful about the 100,000-year spirit ring he had previously used up, because it was a 100,000-year spirit ring.

As promised by the vice dean, three more 100,000-year soul rings will be given as a next step.

Playing with the wine glass in his hand, Tian Hao chuckled and said, "A 100,000-year soul ring isn't as precious as you think. Originally, a 100,000-year soul beast could only produce one soul ring and one guaranteed soul bone. However, a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone both have two soul skills, which means four parts of the original power. As long as they are dispersed, they can form four soul rings with single soul skills, just like 10,000-year or 1,000-year soul rings."

"Given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's domineering nature towards spirit rings, even a 100,000-year spirit ring with two spirit skills would be forcibly corrupted and modified by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, making it undetectable."

"So, this time, the teacher only used the spirit ring produced by a 100,000-year-old spirit beast?"

Shen Xinshui and the others suddenly realized, and after thinking about it this way, they immediately felt less heartbroken.

They had initially thought they were four real 100,000-year soul rings, but it turns out they were just pieces separated from a 100,000-year soul beast.

"Dean, you've also mastered the Spirit Hall's ability to solidify spirit rings?"

Ye Zhi Qiu's eyes flashed with excitement.

Previously, in order to find a spirit ring that perfectly matched his own combat style, he almost went bankrupt, investing all his savings, and he was well aware of the exorbitant profits of that method.

If their vice dean had that kind of ability, Canghui Academy would be set for life.

The others also realized what was happening and were very excited.

"It's not as simple as you think. Although I can also seal spirit rings, it consumes too much energy. I can't do it as easily and effortlessly as the Spirit Hall, or even mass-produce them. At present, I can only supply you."

Moreover, this method cannot be exposed, otherwise we will become the target of public criticism. We do not have the strong foundation of the Spirit Hall to protect this achievement.

"You guys be careful in the future, don't talk nonsense. If anyone asks, just say you bought it for a high price."

Tian Hao shook his head slightly, extinguishing everyone's hopes and shifting the blame to the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall does sell 100,000-year spirit rings, but the difficulty lies in refining them. Capable people can hunt 100,000-year spirit beasts themselves, while those who are not capable cannot refine the 100,000-year spirit rings they buy, making them seem rather useless.

Of course, many powerful forces have also spent huge sums of money to buy it back for research, hoping to crack that method and thus gain control of it.

Ye Zhi Qiu and the others all straightened up and nodded solemnly to show that they understood.

They all knew the immense profits from sealing and solidifying spirit rings, and naturally, they could also foresee the risks involved. Putting aside everything else, the Spirit Hall would undoubtedly be the first to come and strike.

They're just getting started, and they need to develop cautiously and discreetly; they can't afford to be reckless.

"It would be too wasteful to use a 100,000-year-old soul ring."

Lian Xuefeng still felt uncomfortable and harbored strong hostility towards Ning Rongrong.

"You silly girl, you don't see far enough. Do you think your master would do something that loses money?"

Tian Hao tapped the girl's fair forehead and said with a wicked smile, "That person gave Bone Douluo Gu Rong a legacy before. I went over and shared it with Gu Rong. Although I got it from Gu Rong, it still originated from that person. In order to prevent that person from targeting you when you use it in the future, I naturally have to pay a little."

"Did the teacher receive that person's inheritance?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. They had all witnessed what happened last time and knew that Shrek Academy had a powerful figure who was no weaker than their own teacher, and was also a master swordsman.

If they could obtain the inheritance of that sword master, they would be set for life.

"You should contemplate this further. I cannot give you in-depth guidance, but I can strengthen your foundation and let you see more methods so that you can take the essence and discard the dross, integrate the power within, and ultimately open up your own path to becoming a prodigy."

This is also the main reason why I chose to establish the sect based on you. Gemstone Martial Souls have multi-directional development, which requires cultivation methods in various systems, perfectly matching my Martial Soul techniques and laying a perfect foundation for you and the sect.

Tian Hao generously shared the so-called inheritance with his seven disciples, including Ye Zhi Qiu, who also received a share. He then proceeded to deceive the disciples with a loving and benevolent gesture, further advancing their deception.

"teacher!"

Shen Xinshui and the others were deeply moved, with Lian Xuefeng being the most touched and almost crying.

"I have taken many detours in my cultivation over the years, and even damaged my foundation. I have no hope of becoming a god in this lifetime, but you can. You are the continuation of my hope of becoming a god."

His expression grew increasingly kind; Tian Hao now had the look of a father who believed in his children, which was quite realistic and touching.

"We will never let our teacher down."

Shen Xinshui and the others were even more moved and their determination to become gods was strengthened. At the same time, they were determined to carry forward the Canghui Academy and the Wanbao Sect.

"Teacher, I will guide you to godhood."

Lian Xuefeng was even more determined; even if her teacher couldn't become a god, she would force him to become one.

"It's enough that you have the intention."

With a smile, Tian Hao's expression changed, and he continued to deceive people with a serious and earnest demeanor.

"After years of research, I have found that in addition to the advantages of diverse development, the Gemstone Martial Soul also has a special relationship with the Soul Ring."

Gemstone Martial Souls themselves have no inherent characteristics; they require Soul Rings to guide them, thereby imbuing the Gemstone Martial Soul with certain characteristics, such as the seven paths I have set for you.

In addition, the Gemstone Martial Soul can also, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, use the Martial Soul's essence to erode the Soul Ring's essence, resulting in a fixed Soul Ring skill.

If you combine the two approaches, you can first use the spirit ring to imbue your gem martial soul with the corresponding characteristics. After completing the initial changes, you can then, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, erode the spirit ring in return. Finally, like the Battle Soul Sect where Sword Douluo used to be, you can completely refine the spirit ring into your martial soul, turning the spirit ring into a talent characteristic of your martial soul. You will definitely be able to use it more freely.

"Once this path is successfully paved, our Wanbao Sect will have its own unique system, which will serve as the main branch for absorbing and integrating other systems..."

He shared his vision for the path of the Gemstone Martial Soul, which excited everyone and filled them with anticipation for the future.

"Cultivate diligently. If you can complete the evolution of your martial souls before the start of this Soul Master Competition and possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's characteristic of eroding soul rings, I will help you upgrade all your soul rings to 100,000-year soul rings, just like Ning Rongrong."

In the end, Tian Hao made a promise that made Shen Xinshui and the others so excited that their hearts almost stopped beating.

"Dean, have you already reached that point on this path?"

Ye Zhi Qiu was also very excited. In the past, he could only replace and upgrade soul rings of less than 10,000 years, but now he could upgrade them to 100,000-year soul rings?

"This is a shortcut I developed based on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and it currently only applies to Gemstone Martial Souls."

He showed a slightly regretful expression, but Tian Hao wasn't just fooling people this time, because he did indeed create this path based on the characteristics of the Gemstone Martial Soul.

Ye Zhi Qiu sighed inwardly, while pondering how to marry a woman with a diamond martial soul and have offspring with a diamond martial soul.

He may not be able to achieve this in his own life, but he can guide his descendants onto this path of prosperity.

"Teacher, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also discovers the secret to increasing the age of soul rings through this, it will be very disadvantageous for us."

Lian Xuefeng suddenly pointed out a key point: she still harbored a lot of hostility towards Ning Rongrong, which was a woman's instinct.

"My secret techniques are not so easy to comprehend!"

To deduce the method for increasing the age of a soul ring from that girl, either the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will produce a genius, or thousands or tens of thousands of people will die trying to figure it out.

With a nonchalant chuckle, Tian Hao didn't believe that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could comprehend it unless a true genius emerged. But he knew very well what the essence of geniuses was. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had an absolute chance of not being able to do it, and it was at least infinitely close to zero.

Besides that, we can only try it slowly by risking human lives, let's see if thousands or tens of thousands of people die first.

Of course, it would be fine if a deity could help, but since deities can increase the age of their soul rings themselves, that would be more efficient and simple.

Moreover, what the gods value is the divine ring, which is far more advanced than the soul ring and has a higher potential.

Seeing that the person was so confident, everyone felt relieved and then ate and drank. After finishing their meal, they went back to rest and recharge for their cultivation that night.

Three days passed in this way before Tian Hao finally helped Ning Rongrong refine four 100,000-year soul rings, upgrading the first three soul rings to the 100,000-year level.

The refinement of four 100,000-year soul rings also allowed Ning Rongrong's soul power to advance by leaps and bounds. She not only quickly reached the level 40 mark, but after refining the fourth 100,000-year soul ring, her soul power soared all the way to the level 50 mark.

The reason for such a significant improvement is not only because Tian Hao's artificially created soul ring is powerful enough, but also mainly because Ning Rongrong's level was too low, so the level increase from the feedback would naturally be greater.

If you change to the Title Douluo level, a 100,000-year soul ring can only increase your soul power by one or two levels at most, and even at the Super Douluo level, it can only increase it by one level at most.

"Teacher, they've reached level 50."

Ning Rongrong said coquettishly, her bright eyes revealing a hint of cunning.

She's really gone all out these past few days. She's already been through so much, so she's determined to get her money back as much as possible.

"A twelve-year-old Soul King, truly worthy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that I envy."

With a sigh, Tian Hao took out a beast bone, on which was also sealed a blood-red ring, which was a soul ring of 100,000 years.

"Teacher, fellow students, I'm ready."

With a bright look in her eyes, Ning Rongrong obediently sat cross-legged in the center of the vacated room, gesturing for the others to begin quickly.

Although the refining process is painful, it's nothing compared to the rewards.

Yesterday, when she upgraded all three soul rings to 100,000 years, she tried to use her auxiliary soul skills on Zhu Zhuqing and Ao Jiu'er. The consumption was negligible, even less than the recovery from meditation.

If Oscar's restorative sausage is added to aid in soul power recovery, it would be no problem to buff all team members 24 hours a day.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's demeanor, all six members of the Canghui team, except for Lian Xuefeng, maintained an elegant and gentle smile, just like someone else's.
