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

"Aren't you planning to bring something with you as a memento?"

While carving the village name, he asked a question in return.

"We should keep something in mind."

After a slight pause, Flander sighed and put away the tattered plaque.

This plaque was made by the three of them by hand and has been with them for twenty years. It is of great significance and taking it with them will certainly be a keepsake.

"Gentlemen's Village?"

Turning his head to look at the new village name that someone had carved on the stone tablet, Flander felt something was off. The word "gentleman" and the word "village" just didn't look right together.

"Such powerful sword intent!"

Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at the three characters, sensing a vast sword intent that seemed capable of encompassing the entire world.

Is this the teacher's true sword intent?

"There's sword intent on it? I didn't see it."

Flanders was puzzled and went up to examine it closely, even reaching out to touch it, but found nothing unusual.

"Only those with pure minds can sense my sword intent; the purer the mind, the more clearly it will be sensed."

Tian Hao glanced at him sideways, implying that he wasn't a pure person and that he was too cunning.

Flander wasn't embarrassed by this; he was already used to being teased by his father-in-law.

"Why are you doing this? Are you trying to make it like the kendo plaza at Huanyin Academy? It doesn't look like it!"

Curious, he asked, and everyone else was curious too.

They knew about the swordplay plaza at Huanyin Academy; it was something everyone could feel, the only difference being whether they could comprehend it.

But this person imposed restrictions. What does the other party want to do?

"Adults have experienced too much, and their minds have become more complicated and less pure. But children's minds are unpolluted and pure. They can better understand my sword intent and cultivate their own sword intent."

This is my hometown, the place where I was born and raised. I must consider the future of my hometown and my fellow villagers, and guide those children onto the path of kendo.

After a moment of reflection and a bit more deception, Tian Hao decided to turn this place into a stronghold, planting a seed in the Barak Kingdom.

"These three words can make children comprehend sword intent? Why didn't you come up with this sooner?"

Flander's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, filled with resentment and greed, as if he wanted nothing more than to carry the stone tablet away.

"My hometown is where I was born and raised, not your Shrek Academy."

You are just a passerby to us. Have you done anything to benefit the villagers over the years?

If you're not willing to give anything to my hometown, why should I let you benefit from it?

"Besides, I'd love for you unstable elements to leave. If you really use my sword intent to make the academy bigger and stronger here, how can I wait for you to leave?"

After making a sarcastic remark, Tian Hao made no attempt to hide his disdain for someone.

"Old Yue, what you said hurt me deeply. As compensation, I'll take this stone tablet with me."

Flander looked heartbroken and prepared to pack up the stone tablet and take it with him.

"There are sword energy clones I left on it. If you move the stone tablet, you will be countered, which is equivalent to my full-force attack."

The faint voice made Flander stiffen, and he gloomily withdrew his hand from the stone tablet.

"Leave now and don't come back. This little village can't contain your hearts."

Seeing that Flander was about to speak again with a resentful look, Tian Hao impatiently urged him on, and walked into the village with his hands behind his back.

“He’s right, this isn’t our home; we’re just passing through.”

Li Yusong sighed for a moment, then turned and set off.

The others also silently turned around and set off on a new journey.

Tian Hao didn't stay long either. The day after Flander and the others left, he left the village openly and waited until he was in a deserted place before using the Void Mirror to open a spatial passage and escape.

Instead of returning to Wuhun City, they went straight to the outside of Lanba Academy and found the head of the intelligence network there, an old lady who sold stinky tofu.

"Your stinky tofu tastes authentic."

After tasting the auntie's stinky tofu, Tian Hao gave it a thumbs up.

The auntie's skills are excellent; the fermentation time for her stinky tofu is definitely sufficient, unlike some unscrupulous bosses in my previous life who used technology to speed up the process.

This is the real stinky tofu that smells bad but tastes delicious.

"My family has been making stinky tofu since my grandma's time. I grew up eating stinky tofu..."

The auntie was a very talkative person, but that makes sense; if you're not talkative enough, it's hard to sell something as special as stinky tofu.

"Where there are people, there are conflicts and disagreements; the human heart is truly fascinating."

While eating stinky tofu, they looked at the latest information brought to them by the auntie.

Although he had received intelligence that someone here was planning something, it only came from Wuhun City and the information was very brief. He didn't know the specifics yet.

Now we understand that the cause was a disagreement within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan regarding Yu Xiaogang and Shrek Academy. Some members did not want to be associated with the Clear Sky Clan anymore, while others saw it as an opportunity to use the Shrek Academy team to upgrade Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy to a Soul Master University.

As long as it is promoted to a Soul Master University, it will gain many benefits, such as a hundred-mile fiefdom and many promising students who come to study. They can use this opportunity to recruit those young people to establish a new sect's outer sect.

Although the members of Blue Lightning City were wiped out in one fell swoop, it doesn't mean that the outer sect members are unimportant.

The Haotian Sect still needs the support of the four major families, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect needs enough henchmen to revive.

The two sides then argued fiercely, and the side that wanted to accept Yu Xiaogang and the Shrek team eventually gained the upper hand. Then, they passed on the order to Yu Shisui, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy.

That's right, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy is none other than his old rival and friend Jade Marrow. He has also become a dean and is a level 95 Title Douluo.

He was quite capable to become the captain of the Thunder Academy team back then. Before the cataclysmic changes in the world, he could have at least become a Soul Douluo. Now, with the blessing of the God Realm's spiritual power, breaking through to become a Title Douluo is not difficult.

The stinky tofu vendor remained silent and continued making her stinky tofu.

Her only responsibility was to collect intelligence and upload it; she wouldn't care about or ask about anything else. She had memorized these rules during her training.

The reason she, an ordinary person, dared to do this kind of work was mainly because her two daughters were blessed by the gods and entered the Spirit Hall Academy, which meant they had a bright future.

This was her reward for venturing out to act as a spy, a reward that satisfied her greatly.

This is how her life is going to be, but she doesn't want her children to live an ordinary life like hers; this is the only thing she can do for her children.

After reading the intelligence and finishing his stinky tofu, Tian Hao used teleportation to leave without being noticed by anyone.

Using the distorted light to invisibly enter Blue Tyrant Academy, Tian Hao wandered to the boys' dormitory and found a spy who had been specially placed there.

"What do you need me to do?"

After examining the password worm in someone's hand that could resonate with his own password worm, and the token with a special soul power aura, Xiao Lang calmly asked.

He was trained by the Spirit Hall from a young age and was a loyal follower of the Spirit Hall. He was then assigned to Blue Tyrant Academy as a spy, silently collecting various intelligence about Blue Lightning Academy.

Although it was a bit dangerous, it was nothing compared to the rewards.

Because he was just an ordinary person without innate soul power, it was absolutely impossible for him to become a soul master. However, he was unwilling to remain ordinary, so he agreed when those people secretly came to his door.

He has now become a Soul Master thanks to the Spirit Hall's training and enhancement of his Martial Soul and aptitude, as well as his own hard work.

After graduation, he can go to Wuhun City to upgrade his martial spirit to the top level, giving him the potential to become a top-tier powerhouse.

This is a very good deal.

The arrival of this person now either indicates a new mission or a need to complete one's own mission ahead of schedule.

"I need your identity and memories."

After saying that, Tian Hao used his divine sense to read the other party's memories, and then used the Void Mirror to open a spatial portal.

Without uttering a single wasted word or packing anything, Xiao Lang calmly walked into the spatial portal.

His decades-long career as a spy had honed his mental fortitude to a certain level. While he couldn't remain unmoved even if mountains collapsed before him, maintaining a calm demeanor was certainly not a problem.

Not to mention that he was already close to the maximum graduation age of Blue Tyrant Academy, and he would complete his mission and head to Spirit City in two more years. He was just a little ahead of schedule.

"He's a real talent!"

After closing the portal, Tian Hao offered a word of praise.

That young man had truly remarkable composure; he remained completely calm throughout, which was frightening. It's rare to see someone with such composure among young people.

It seems that doing underground work like espionage these days really toughens a person's character.

Looking at his dormitory and the roommates he had knocked unconscious, Tian Hao started pinching his own face to make it look exactly like Xiao Lang's.

That's right, this time he also intends to take over this person's identity and live under the name Xiao Lang at Blue Tyrant Academy for a while.

They had planted several spies like this in Blue Tyrant Academy. The reason they chose Xiao Lang was mainly because his martial soul was a flame, a pure elemental martial soul.

It's a pity that the child was an ordinary person born without soul power; otherwise, this elemental martial soul alone would have been enough to make him a powerful figure.

"First, lay mines and dig pits here, then turn around and head towards Blazing Fire Academy."

After some deliberation, Tian Hao pondered how to create a trap to disrupt the cooperation between the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and Shrek Academy.

There's no need for complete destruction; just leave enough large lightning bolts to cause chaos within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

"That healing scepter is quite interesting; perhaps it's worth cultivating."

Recalling the information on all the students of Blue Tyrant Academy that he had just seen at the stinky tofu lady's place, Tian Hao quickly set his sights on a character from the storyline.

That's right, it's Jiang Zhu, the healing-type girl who will accompany the Shrek Seven Devils to the Soul Master Competition in the future.

It has to be said that fate is really on its side. It managed to trick Liu Erlong into going to the Star Luo Empire, but in the end, it still created the Blue Tyrant Academy, which is also related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even has three characters in the story.

Besides Jiangzhu, there's Huang Yuan, a single dog with a martial soul like Tao Ge, and Qian Sha... no, Jing Ling, with a skeleton martial soul.

Of course, the reason why the three of them were able to appear at Blue Tyrant Academy was mainly because Jade Marrow lowered its admission standards, and at the same time, due to some reasons, it could only recruit Soul Master students from commoner backgrounds.

Among the many advanced soul master academies, there are very few that are willing to recruit commoner soul masters and have low entry requirements.

Although Shrek Academy also recruits commoner soul masters, its entry requirements are extremely high, arguably the highest among all advanced soul master academies.

This is why Shrek Academy has only enrolled a little over forty students in twenty years. However, the main reason is that Shrek Academy is too poor and cannot even build a simulated training environment, so it is impossible to train too many students and can only take the elite route.

"How about we switch? We can nurture this Crimson Pearl to attract the divine inheritance of the God of Healing, and let Ye Lingling attract the divine inheritance of the God of Flowers."

Recalling a question that had troubled him before, Tian Hao felt that Jiangzhu was worth nurturing.

In the realm of gods, each of the five great god-kings has a faction under its command. Among them, the factions of the God of Destruction and the God of Asura are the most competitive and even antagonistic.
