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

"I've basically learned how to use everything Tang San has, and the flow of his soul power is very strange. Although I don't understand it, it feels very extraordinary. I'll have my grandfather and the others study it when I get back."

Meng Yiran nodded emphatically without delay, indicating that she had learned everything.

"Does that include that eye-training method?"

Xue Qinghe asked, as he had been undergoing training under that person's sword domain and hadn't paid much attention to the battle, so he didn't know how Meng Yiran had learned Tang San's self-created soul skill.

However, how you learn it is not important; the key is to learn that eye-training method, which will definitely be of great help to your swordsmanship training and combat.

"That eye-training method is very strange. I couldn't see through it even with my soul bone skills. In the end, I had to use that soul skill that can only be used once to forcibly copy it."

Although I understand the cultivation method, there's a strange power within it, one that the body can't cultivate; that's the core of this eye-training method.

Meng Yiran nodded, her expression showing a hint of confusion.

Although she copied that eye-training method using the Soul Copying Skill, she was unclear about many aspects of it, especially the source of the purple energy.

After listening to Meng Yiran's account, Xue Qinghe pondered and soon came to some guesses.

"Based on the surveillance of Tang San over the years, he would sit on the roof every morning to watch the sunrise and cultivate, and his eyes would turn purple, so he must be practicing some kind of eye-training method."

Try going to the rooftop at sunrise tomorrow morning.

Although he didn't understand the secrets of that eye-training method, he could still guess some things from some information, and then verify them one by one.

As for the source of the intelligence, it was naturally the surveillance Tang San had been under all along. There's a saying that goes, "Money makes the world go round," so it's not difficult to get information by spending some money.

Whether it's the students or the teachers at Notting College, they are all people who can be bribed.

There's no need for deliberate surveillance; a casual glance in daily life is enough to accumulate a complete intelligence report.

With complete intelligence, many things become much easier to guess.

"I'm going to wait for the sunrise now."

With a bright look in her eyes, Meng Yiran excitedly ran to the balcony and leaped onto the hotel roof.

Seeing Meng Yiran's impatient nature, the others had no choice but to follow, even though Xue Qinghe was looking forward to it.

As everyone chatted and laughed while waiting, the night passed quickly, and the sunrise arrived.

Meng Yiran sat cross-legged on the rooftop, activating her Purple Demon Eye and staring wide-eyed at the direction where the sun was rising.

Then, with the help of the Purple Demon Eye, he discovered that a wisp of purple energy had flashed by and been partially absorbed by the Purple Demon Eye.

"I saw it, I saw it! When the sun appeared, a purple energy appeared, then disappeared quickly, and some of it was absorbed by my eyes."

Meng Yiran was very excited to have her method verified. She could finally truly master this eye-training technique and even pass it on to others.

Meng Yiran's confirmation made everyone very excited and happy.

"How much of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's self-created soul skills have you learned?"

The calmest of them all, Xue Qinghe, then asked about the techniques he had learned from Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, saying that the self-created soul skills those two used were truly powerful.

It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, because as soon as we did, Meng Yiran's face fell.

"The footwork they used was very complicated. I only remembered some of the soul power flow patterns, but it felt somewhat similar to Tang San's movement technique. If we combined them, it should be able to improve it a bit."

She had long coveted Ning Rongrong and the other two's self-created soul skills, especially their graceful and elegant movements. Unfortunately, those movements were too complicated and varied, with almost no two movements being the same.

It's almost impossible to learn it using only X-ray vision; at most, you can only grasp a tiny bit of the basics.

"I've learned Zhu Zhuqing's dual-sword swordsmanship moves. We'll learn them together later, especially you, Lingling. Once you learn that swordsmanship, you can become a Soul Master too."

Turning the topic to Zhu Zhuqing's swordsmanship, Meng Yiran felt that it was very suitable for Ye Lingling to practice, or rather, Ye Lingling was very suitable to practice that kind of swordsmanship.

"Her swordsmanship focuses on dexterity and technique, which is indeed more suitable for women to practice."

Xue Qinghe nodded in agreement. Ye Lingling, who possesses the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, can play a significant role in the team, which can be described as strategic.

However, as a support-type Soul Master, Ye Lingling herself does not possess combat power and even needs to be protected by others.

If Ye Lingling could possess a certain level of combat strength—not necessarily powerful, but enough to protect herself—then their tactical variations could be further enhanced.

Ye Lingling, her face veiled, remained indifferent, but her eyes brightened slightly, clearly showing that she was also quite tempted.

In the previous team battle, Ning Rongrong, who was also a support-type Soul Master, had a strong impact on her.

I never imagined that a support-type Soul Master could possess such powerful combat strength, even surpassing that of a Battle Soul Master of the same level.

This gave her some ideas; perhaps she could also become a Soul Master.

"You absorbed a portion of Tang San's external soul bone. Has there been any change to the armor?"

Dugu Yan suddenly remembered that Meng Yiran had also swallowed Tang San's external soul bone, which should have some effect on the battle armor.

"I forgot to check."

Meng Yiran also remembered and quickly put on the Green Snake Armor. Then everyone saw that eight sharp spikes had appeared on the armor.

First, a 30-centimeter-long spike extended from each of her forearms, and could retract freely under Meng Yiran's mental control.

In addition, there are two spikes on the elbows, and then on the knees and the toes of the boots, all of which can be controlled to retract with a thought.

"I remember you said that Tang San's external soul bone once devoured a ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, thus evolving to the ten-thousand-year level. You can try it too."

Dugu Yan suggested that she even plan to ask her grandfather to find some potent poisons so that her best friend could use these sharp, thorny soul bones to devour them, which might enhance the toxicity.

"I'm going to devour all the human-faced demon spiders in Sunset Forest, and see how Tang San can evolve his soul bone then."

Meng Yiran said fiercely, deciding that after returning, she would go to Sunset Forest with her grandfather to find and devour all the human-faced spiders inside.

Even if these eight spikes of mine cannot devour and evolve, I absolutely cannot let Tang San benefit from them.

"Get some rest today. We'll head back to the academy after Professor Qin Ming returns."

After chatting for a while, Xue Qinghe announced that they would depart for their return trip the next day.

Their original plan was to travel through all the major cities of the four kingdoms and duchies, and participate in team battles in the city's Great Arena to increase their combat experience.

However, the gains from this experience were too great, and I need to return to the academy as soon as possible to communicate with my teachers and others and study the self-created soul skills together, especially the secret method for training the eyes.

If they can learn it quickly, their strength will be significantly improved, much faster than the originally planned team battles and sparring.

As for practical experience, we can simply invite back alumni who have already graduated to help hone our skills.

Although their team from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy did not perform well in previous years, they were still considered a top team, with impeccable individual skills and teamwork.

Only those prodigies and the teams from the Soul Master University are ridiculously strong, especially those prodigies who are inhumanly strong.

That's really impossible to beat, no wonder those upperclassmen...

It shouldn't be a problem to bring those people back to hone their skills.

Everyone understood this and returned to their rooms to rest, leaving only Xue Qinghe and Yu Tianheng on the rooftop.

Even though Dugu Yan wanted to stay, Yu Tianheng gestured for her to leave with his eyes.

"That master insists on cooperating with the Haotian Sect?"

While enjoying the warmth of the morning sun, Xue Qinghe asked.

Although he hadn't discussed this matter with Yu Tianheng before, he knew that Yu Tianheng was a smart man and understood what to do.

"more or less!"

Yu Tianheng was also enjoying the warmth of the sun and said calmly, "That good-for-nothing grew up amidst ridicule, but he has a very stubborn personality and a strong sense of self-respect. He always wanted to prove himself through theoretical research, which led to those laughable ten core competencies of his martial soul."

He's gone mad, perhaps long ago; his only obsession is proving himself, and everyone else is merely a tool to that end.

Although he was very angry with that useless uncle before, he has calmed down now and even feels that his previous behavior was not worth it and that it was not worth getting angry at such a useless person.

"That good-for-nothing couldn't possibly cultivate a twin martial soul on his own. It won't be long before he comes into contact with Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect. Maybe then we'll be able to see what they've been secretly plotting all these years."

Xue Qinghe remained silent; he shared the same guess.

That Tang Sanhui was a key tool they used to observe the Haotian Sect.

Chapter 587 Gentlemen's Village

Leaving aside the matter of the Royal Fighting Team, Qin Ming followed Flander and the others to Shrek Academy, where he focused on explaining the situation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This was also the task Xue Qinghe had given him: to persuade Flander and the others to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as much as possible.

"Dean, what that master is doing is very dangerous."

After explaining the situation at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming secretly used his soul power to send a telepathic message to Flander.

Although Shrek Academy was his alma mater, he did not agree with the master's actions, which he believed were bringing disaster upon the academy.

It's only because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is currently in seclusion that they've done this. If they had done it like this before, they would have already sent people to kill them.

Each major power places the utmost importance on its own heritage, as it is the foundation of its existence and a taboo subject that cannot be touched.

What the college is doing is too dangerous.

"I know that, but how can we quickly improve those little guys without using Xiaogang's method?"

Flander was also very troubled. It was fine if the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan didn't pursue the matter, but if they did, it would be very dangerous.

According to Qin Ming's previous statement, Yu Tianheng is the young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and is being groomed as a prodigy. He is definitely the future sect leader and can represent the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan himself.

Qin Ming didn't know what else to say, so he asked about something else.

"When did Teacher Yue become so strong?"

He did know that there was a teacher in the academy who lived in the mountains behind the village, but he had never seen him, and the dean did not allow anyone to go to the back mountain.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Yue, who had always been unknown and low-key, had become a top expert. Even Xue Qinghe treated him with utmost respect, asking for guidance, and even successfully received it.

Moreover, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ao Jiu'er were all trained by others, and he was extremely envious of their abilities.

At the same time, I was also puzzled: if there are already such super big shots in the academy, what is the point of having that master?

"Old Yue is different from other teachers."

Flander knew what Qin Ming was thinking, so he didn't say much about it.

Should I say that I only offer a top-tier executive a monthly salary of 100?

No one can say anything about how much money someone gets paid or how much work they do.

This time, it was only because of those three girls that we were able to invite them down and, incidentally, teach those children a lesson.

"There's something else. Several of the students at the academy this year have very unusual identities. Dean, you should pay close attention to them. The Empire has already set its sights on you, or perhaps it has been doing so for a while."

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Ming decided to give him a reminder.
