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

In comparison, the other three great god-kings are much more laid-back, especially the gods under the command of the God of Life, who are mostly neutral.

Among the first-level gods under the God of Life, besides the God of Healing whose position is suitable for Ye Lingling, there is also a God of a Hundred Flowers who is very suitable for Ye Lingling.

Although the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers' primary ability is not healing, it is a perfect match for the Nine-Hearted Begonia Flower Martial Soul.

It would be more appropriate to let Jiangzhu try to inherit the divine position of the God of Healing, because the artifact of the God of Healing is a scepter. Although its shape is different from Jiangzhu's healing scepter martial soul, that is not important. What is important is its essence.

The compatibility between the two is very high, at least higher than that of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and the chances of drawing it down are also greater.

"Go and get to know that girl first, and see what kind of person she is."

After some deliberation, Tian Hao did not make a decision immediately. He decided to observe the girl's character first. If her character was not good, then there was no need to train her.

The gods in the divine realm, especially the first-level main gods, usually regard the test of the seven emotions as the final test, which shows the importance they attach to the character of their successors.

Chapter 588 The Shadow of Conflict

"Damn, that's really greedy. They're charging eight thousand gold coins for a soul ring that's less than a thousand years old."

In Tiandou City, Tian Hao walked out of a building with a gloomy expression, his mood very bad.

Xiao Lang's little brother's soul power level has reached level 39. It's quite ordinary for someone who has cultivated to level 39 at the age of 23 after the cataclysmic change in the world. Its value is equivalent to level 29 before the cataclysmic change.

That makes sense, though. Normal spies tend to be low-key and unassuming; standing out too much makes them harder to manage.

After all, not everyone has the persuasive skills that Mr. Tian possesses.

After spending a few days at Blue Tyrant Academy, he took the opportunity to break through to level 40 in soul power. Then, he used Xiao Lang's life savings to buy a soul ring at a specialized agency in Heaven Dou City.

Blue Tyrant Academy is not far from New Heaven Dou City, so you can only buy spirit rings here. But even if you take out your henchman's life savings and bribe the official in charge of the coronation, you can only get a spirit ring skill that is nearly a thousand years old.

To purchase a thousand-year soul skill, one would need at least ten thousand gold soul coins. Keep in mind that the Spirit Hall only sells thousand-year soul rings to the two great empires starting at one thousand gold soul coins.

That's increased tenfold in the blink of an eye! That's outrageous!

Of course, the main reason for purchasing spirit rings is that Blue Tyrant Academy's foundation is too weak. There are not enough teachers to handle the task of hunting spirit rings for the academy, let alone going to dangerous places like Sunset Forest.

According to Xiao Lang's memory, the first three spirit rings were obtained from the Soul Hunting Forest, and they were utterly trash.

The first spirit ring was a white spirit ring that was over ninety years old, the second spirit ring was over three hundred years old, the third spirit ring was over seven hundred years old, and now it's the fourth spirit ring, which is only a yellow spirit ring that is over nine hundred years old but less than a thousand years old.

He felt ashamed of his own soul ring configuration.

Fortunately, I had bribed the official in charge of the coronation with a thousand gold soul coins beforehand, and managed to get a decent defensive soul skill through some back channels in the allocation of soul ring skills.

That's right, it's a defensive soul skill, and it's fire-attribute.

Fire-attribute characters rarely have defensive soul skills; most of them are offensive defenses formed by explosive impacts, such as the Fire Dance's Fire Resistance Ring.

Now, having obtained a purely defensive fire-attribute soul skill through back channels, it seems pretty good.

But it's still too expensive.

You should know that those nine thousand gold soul coins were hard-earned by Xiao Lang's little brother. Most of them came from the soul master subsidies he received, and the rest were earned from part-time jobs.

He now only has a few gold soul coins, a few dozen silver soul coins, and a few hundred bronze soul coins left, making him a truly penniless wretch.

"Go back to the academy first!"

Suppressing his frustration, Tian Hao strode out of the city and started running.

Blue Tyrant Academy is not far from New Heaven Dou City, but it is not close either. According to Xiao Lang's disguised man's plan, it would be difficult to run back before dark.

However, now that I've taken on this role, I must get into character perfectly, bringing every detail to life without leaving any flaws.

When it comes to acting, Mr. Tian is serious!

As expected, it wasn't until nightfall that Tian Hao returned to Blue Tyrant Academy under this disguised identity.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Xiao Lang found that his other roommates were not there. According to his memory, they must have gone off to have some fun.

Xiao Lang maintained a very ordinary persona, and got along fairly well with his roommates, neither too close nor too distant.

"A Flame Martial Soul with one white and two yellow spirit rings, that's a rather low starting point."

He spread out his palm to reveal the flame martial spirit, and then looked at the three spirit rings floating around the flame martial spirit. Tian Hao couldn't help but make a comment.

He created this Flame Martial Soul by extracting Xiao Lang's soul power while reading Xiao Lang's memories, along with Xiao Lang's three soul rings.

Anyway, that kid will undergo enhancement and transformation after arriving in Wuhun City, and his soul rings will be directly transformed into sword dao soul rings. These three original soul rings will naturally have to be abolished, so let's just make use of them.

Furthermore, Blue Tyrant Academy maintains files for all its students, including their spirit ring configurations and skills. These cannot be altered, otherwise, people will definitely become suspicious.

He immediately took out the soul ring beast bone he had bought during the day, activated the sealed soul ring on it, and put it on the Flame Martial Soul. He instantly refined it, thus creating a configuration of four soul rings: one white and three yellow.

"The first soul skill is fire control, the second soul skill is flame enhancement, the third soul skill is flame fusion, and the fourth soul skill is fire shield. That flame fusion is quite interesting."

Having experienced the four spirit rings, Tian Hao's gaze fell upon the third spirit ring.

Looking around, he used his soul power to pluck a small leaf from the tree outside the window, activated his third soul skill to infuse the leaf with fire-attribute soul power, and then unleashed it.

The leaves infused with fire-attribute soul power exploded, and if they hadn't been bound by Tian Hao's soul power, they probably would have made a complete mess of the dormitory.

After all, it's a seven-hundred-year-old soul ring, and with the added boost of level forty fire-attribute soul power, its power is naturally not bad.

However, compared to the combat power of a Soul Master, it is still too weak.

If you were to face a Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul, they probably wouldn't even need to use their Soul Skills; the defense formed by the Martial Soul's possession alone would be enough to withstand the attack.

However, my main job was as a spy, and being a Soul Master was just a side job, so we can't expect too much.

"It would be suitable as a trap."

After making a comment, Tian Hao didn't stay in the dormitory for long and went to the woods behind the college.

To facilitate cultivation, many Soul Master academies are built against mountains, with large forests to assist students in their training. Blue Tyrant Academy is no exception.

Soon they arrived at a place where many mushrooms were growing, which was also his destination.

In the previous life, fungi were not considered plants, but in this world, spirit beasts formed from fungi are classified as plant-type spirit beasts.

In fact, this mushroom-type soul beast is the one with the strongest vitality.

Similar to Blue Silver Grass, it is only tenacious in its vitality, not exactly vigorous.

This kind of mushroom can grow in just one hour if the conditions are right, it's incredibly fast.

Standing at the edge of the mushroom patch, Tian Hao sat down, pointed his finger at a mushroom, and activated his third soul skill, infusing it with fire-attribute soul power.

Soon the originally white mushroom turned fiery red, containing explosive power, no less powerful than the hand grenades in movies from my previous life.

Of course, I'm not doing this to plant mushrooms after hanging up the Teemo template. I'm here to fish, to catch a little mermaid.

Xiao Lang's third soul skill is Flame Fusion. As its name suggests, it can integrate flames into many substances and then explode.

However, once manufactured, they are difficult to preserve and require constant control, otherwise they will explode.

If it didn't have this flaw, or if it could last for an entire day like Oscar's sausage, then this soul skill would be quite terrifying, turning the user into a human cannon.

Let alone Soul Masters of the same level, even Soul Saints could be annihilated if they were gathered in sufficient numbers.

Leaving aside someone's fishing activities here, Shrek Academy on the other side migrated northwards, and along the way, they also trained in the Great Soul Arena in some cities.

Yu Xiaogang even arranged for everyone to participate in the Unrestricted Soul Battle, where they killed a team called the Fierce God.

The three goddesses looked very uncomfortable when they saw Ning Rongrong committing murder for the first time, and they also refused Yu Xiaogang's arrangement.

Because they all kept in mind their teacher's teachings that they should not kill if they could avoid it, especially since she and Zhu Zhuqing were not yet adults and their minds and wills were not mature enough. Killing someone with their own hands would have some hidden effects and might even affect their swordsmanship training.

Yu Xiaogang was also dissatisfied with the three girls' lack of cooperation, especially since they were Teacher Yue's disciples, which made him instinctively feel somewhat repulsed.

However, for the sake of next year's Soul Master Competition, he ultimately held back.

"Master, doing this might not be a good idea."

Looking at the changing expressions of the children below, Qin Ming felt a vague unease.

He was particularly concerned about Ma Hongjun, feeling that such premature killing was not suitable for the child to experience.

Although he greatly respected Dean Flander and others, he also understood that what Teacher Yue said that day was true; the academy's teaching philosophy did indeed have many problems.

These past few days he has observed all the younger students, and only Teacher Yue's three female disciples have the best mentality and temperament; the others all have some problems to varying degrees.

The most serious one is Tang San. His deep-seated nature makes Tang San's scalp tingle, especially the murderous aura he sometimes displays.

Secondly, there's Xiao Wu. She may not be a bad person by nature, but she's too impulsive and spoiled, like a spoiled child.

Then there's Ma Hongjun, mainly due to his personality and behavioral habits, especially his possession of three external soul bones, which made him somewhat arrogant and conceited.

Now that he has personally committed murder, it will inevitably have a psychological impact on him.

"What's the problem?"

Turning his head, he asked coldly, "I hate people who deny my teaching philosophy the most."

His teaching only required obedience, not rebuttal or questioning.

The previous teacher, Yue, was too strong for him to say anything, but you, Qin Ming, are you qualified to question my teaching?

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Have faith in the children."

Flander came over to smooth things over, giving Qin Ming a reassuring look.

He also agreed to this actual combat killing, and so far the results seem to be good.

Next, they will be going to New Tiandou City and Tiandou Royal Academy. The competition there will be fierce, so it's good to let the children train in advance to avoid being bullied when they get there.

Seeing that Flanders had said so, Qin Ming didn't know what else to say.

Because he had been injured by Teacher Yue's attack earlier, he couldn't keep up with the fast travel, so he was left behind to lead Shrek Academy to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while also observing the younger students along the way.

But the results of his observations made him frown.

Those children were all very young, the youngest being only twelve years old. Is it really okay for someone of that age to commit murder?

Although he was worried, Qin Ming didn't say anything.

After resting for a night, the Shrek Academy group set off again, heading straight for New Heaven Dou City.

Because they had often undergone weighted running training before, everyone was in good physical condition. Even though Tian Dou City had moved hundreds of miles north to form the new Tian Dou City, they still arrived in less than a month.

Led by Qin Ming, the group did not go to New Tiandou City, but went straight to Tiandou Royal Academy.

"Dean, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and find the three education committee members and have them come out to invite you to the school in person."

When Qin Ming reached the school gate, he paused, intending to ask the three education commissioners to come out and greet him.
