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

However, with the integration of the soul bone, Xiao Wu's body underwent another period of development and growth. Her body, which had already grown to two meters, grew even larger and larger, eventually reaching a massive size of two and a half meters. Her arms were even thicker than Tang San's waist.

However, its head remained unchanged, still as cute as ever, creating an extreme contrast with its robust body, which was quite mesmerizing.

Seeing the changes in his Xiao Wu's figure, Tang San was completely dumbfounded, and his heart was trembling.

He could barely accept Xiao Wu before, but this one is going too far. It not only goes beyond the realm of women, but also beyond the realm of humanity.

If I were to marry Xiao Wu, would I break my lumbar spine or suffer a herniated disc from being squeezed like that?

"elder brother!"

Xiao Wu, who had been fully resurrected, was very excited and hugged her third brother tightly. The contrast between their figures became even more obvious.

Tang San is nearly two meters tall, which is considered tall among humans, but he is a little brother in front of Xiao Wu, who is only two and a half meters tall.

This scene not only captivated the sea god, but even Poseidon's eyes twitched as she watched it. She then closed her eyes and continued to pray devoutly to the sea god's statue.

The expressions of Dai Mubai and the others behind them were also quite interesting. They then wisely and quietly withdrew from the Sea God Temple, not wanting to see that eye-searing scene again.

Xiao Wu was quite cute back then, how did she grow up to be so unattractive?

Are Oscar's sausages really that bad?

"Third Brother, why have you shrunk?"

Xiao Wu then realized something was wrong; her third brother seemed to have shrunk.

"Xiao Wu, wait in the magic bag for a while. I have something to say to the High Priest."

Tang San, who was released, did not explain. He put Xiao Wu into his treasure pouch and turned his gaze to Poseidon, who had her back to him.

"After your soul power reaches level 100, come and accept the ninth test. I will open the inheritance secret realm for you. At that time, the Sea God will bestow the ninth test upon you. The ninth test is a test of the seven emotions. Your state of mind still needs to be tempered."

Before Tang San could speak, Poseidon calmly explained the standards and content of the Ninth Trial.

She now shares the same thoughts as the Sea God, essentially resigned to her fate. Since the Sea God has chosen that child, so be it.

Anyway, they won't really come back to protect their Seagod Island, and they won't force them. They just want them not to bring trouble or disaster to their Seagod Island.

Sensing Poseidon's intention to see him out, Tang San opened his mouth, but ultimately could not say anything. He could only bow and leave the Sea God Temple.

"Rest for one night, and we'll head home tomorrow!"

Stepping out of the Seagod Temple, Tang San glanced at the crowd waiting outside and announced his return the next day, thus concluding his cultivation journey on Seagod Island.

They gained a lot from this training trip, with significant improvements in all aspects, especially their soul power level, which reached level ninety-nine. They only need to perfectly refine their soul power to transform into divine power and become gods at level one hundred.

I believe the battles on the mainland will be the best whetstone!

Early the next morning, Tang San and his companions set off towards the mainland.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dou Empire has gathered all its forces outside Jialing Pass, totaling over a million soldiers, or rather, over a million able-bodied men, all of whom were forcibly conscripted.

There was nothing that could be done; Xue Qinghe had arranged for the original Xiantian Dou Empire's legions to be transferred to the Five Great Kingdoms, and the remaining four legions had been rendered useless by poison.

The avalanche forced a re-conscription effort, and it was only with great difficulty that a million-strong army was forcibly conscripted.

This was all thanks to a blood poison provided by the Haotian Sect, which forced and controlled these young men; otherwise, this million-strong army would definitely have mutinied and deserted, let alone unleashed any fighting power.

Faced with this situation, not only was Avalanche helpless, but even the resourceful Ning Fengzhi was helpless and could only resort to this insidious method with endless repercussions.

Otherwise, without enough troops, they would have been defeated even faster.

Fortunately, the million able-bodied men were not the main force; their main role was to increase morale and clean up the battlefield after the war. Their main force was the carefully trained 100,000 Tang family soldiers.

They were carefully selected from the original city guards of various cities, underwent special training, and were equipped with hidden weapons meticulously crafted by the Haotian Sect.

Their individual combat strength is no weaker than that of a four-ring Soul Master, not to mention that they have gathered a full 100,000.

Moreover, the more concealed weapons, especially powerful weapons like the Zhuge Crossbow, the greater their power becomes when they are gathered together.

A hundred thousand troops gathered together to fire the Zhuge Crossbow, and even a titled Douluo would have to temporarily retreat from its edge.

In the central command tent of the Heavenly Dou Army, Xue Beng looked at the sand table map in front of him with a headache and confusion.

“Mr. Ning, it has been two months already. In another half month, it will be the harvest season for the new grain. If this stalemate continues, the grain will rot in the fields.”

Avalanche couldn't help but say that he had grown a lot in the past five years and was now a barely qualified emperor. He knew a lot of things, especially the planting and harvesting of grain, which was the foundation of the empire.

These million young men were not completely demobilized; they still needed to be gathered together to grow food. Farming and training were carried out simultaneously in order to obtain enough food.

Otherwise, with the empire's current population, it would be far from enough to support an army of one million.

Two years ago, he secretly asked the Haotian Sect to wipe out the 400,000 troops that had been previously abandoned, removing a huge burden. Otherwise, the empire would have been ruined long ago, let alone be able to gather a million troops to go on an expedition.

Even so, the empire is still facing a severe food shortage. The daily food consumption of a million-strong army is staggering, with each day of delay depleting their supplies. Even though they brought a considerable amount of food with them on this trip, it still won't last long.

They are now relying on the new grain to keep them alive. If the standoff continues and they miss the harvest, the grain will rot in the fields, and this million-strong army will have to eat dirt.

Ning Fengzhi remained silent, feeling quite helpless.

He saw through the Spirit Empire's plan to wear them down here, but they were using an open strategy, so even if he saw through it, it was useless.

The only option now is to launch a direct assault on Jialing Pass, but can they win?

Despite having a million-strong army, most of the able-bodied men had little morale; they were practically walking corpses. They might be okay when things were going well, but they would definitely collapse instantly when facing a tough opponent.

The only truly usable elite force was the 100,000-strong Tang Family Army, which was far too weak compared to the Spirit Empire.

"National Division!"

Seeing Ning Fengzhi remain silent, Xue Beng could only turn his head to look at Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the other side.

Although he looked down on this good-for-nothing, he was his teacher's teacher. Because of what happened back then, his master-disciple relationship with Tang San was almost broken down. He could only find this good-for-nothing to appease him in order to ease his relationship with Tang San.

Besides, this good-for-nothing knows a little about the Empress of the Spirit Hall, which can be used to his advantage.

"She wants to wear us down and lure us into fighting on their home turf. She's waiting for the mistress and her accomplices to return so she can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

With just a few words, Yu Xiaogang had already seen through Bibi Dong's scheme. She wanted to drag down the Heaven Dou Empire and force the future Xiao San and his group to launch an attack after their return.

It was a trap, but they had no choice but to jump in, because it was the only way to break the deadlock.

"We can only rely on the teachers."

I slumped into a chair; there was nothing I could do about the avalanche.

In a battle between ordinary armies, they could use tactics to make up for the difference in combat power, but they couldn't get involved in a battle between god-level powerhouses.

Hopefully, they can win!

"Report!"

Just then, a Soul Master rushed in, shouting, and reported rapidly into the central command tent: "Your Majesty, the gates of Jialing Pass are wide open, and the army of the Spirit Empire is marching out and forming ranks, accompanied by their Soul Master legion."

This news made everyone stand up, and their eyes all turned to the sand table.

Previously, the Martial Soul Empire had only amassed a million-strong army on the other side of Jialing Pass, making it appear as if they were about to attack. However, they had not made any moves for the past two months. It was thought that they were going to wear them down. Why are they suddenly going to take the initiative to attack today?

When will the mistress and her accomplices return?

Yu Xiaogang suddenly seemed to have thought of something and abruptly looked up at Tang Chen.

"They should have already departed from Poseidon Island today."

Tang Chen replied that this was a message transmitted by the Asura Divine Sense yesterday.

"This is bad! We need to go and support Xiao San and the others. The Spirit Hall is trying to start a war to hold us back so they can intercept and kill Xiao San and the others."

With a drastic change in expression, Yu Xiaogang spoke urgently. His stomach function even flared up again due to his emotional excitement, causing his belly to swell rapidly. Tang Chen's pupils constricted at this sight, and he unleashed a burst of soul power, sending Yu Xiaogang flying out of the central command tent.

"boom!"

A muffled thud sounded from outside the tent, but no one paid it any attention. Tang Chen and the others looked at Ning Fengzhi, waiting for his analysis and judgment.

If Yu Xiaogang's guess is true, then Xiao San and her group are in danger.

It should be noted that the interior of Seagod Island is relatively safe, protected by the island's powerful warriors, and with the Trident of Seagod and so many sacred Seagod Trees, even if the Spirit Hall were to attack, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand in the short term.

However, if Xiao San and his group leave Seagod Island and return to the mainland, they will lose that protection. If they are intercepted and killed by the Spirit Hall, their chances of survival will be slim.

"Go immediately to meet Xiao San and the others. If they are intercepted, rescue them. If not, rush back immediately. We will do our best to maintain the situation here."

After some thought, Ning Fengzhi decided to trust Yu Xiaogang's judgment. Moreover, he didn't believe that the Spirit Hall would choose any other time to launch an attack, but instead chose to do so today, when Xiao San and the others had returned. There must be some kind of conspiracy involved.

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had said so, Tang Chen did not hesitate at all. He took his two grandsons, swung his sword, cut through space, and rushed towards the direction of Seagod Island.

Yu Xiaogang's guess was correct. The Spirit Empire did indeed send people to intercept Tang San and his group, and it was led by Tian himself, but under the guise of the Dragon Elephant Sword Saint.

Meanwhile, Tang San and his companions flew rapidly, and after half a day, they crossed the vast ocean and arrived on land.

Without stopping, the group continued flying towards the Tang Clan's base, intending to rest there and also learn about the latest situation.

However, not long after they flew into the mainland, the Asura divine sense within the Eight Spider Spears Soul Bone received a message from Tang Chen and hurriedly reminded Tang San.

"Stop! Be on guard!"

Upon being alerted, Tang San immediately stopped and took out the Trident of the Sea God, maximizing the power of his Purple Demon Eye to observe his surroundings.

Ning Rongrong, who had stopped, also spread her mental energy outwards to search for any potential enemies lurking around her.

Everyone else was also on high alert.

"They actually found out ahead of time."

At this moment, a spatial portal opened, and a group of people walked out. The one in the lead was extremely burly, standing at a height of three meters, and was none other than the Dragon Elephant Sword Saint in his armor.

Following closely behind him were the three members of the Crimson Pearl Group, all staring at Tang San with hostility.

Besides them, there are also the Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and the Shi Mo brothers, all of whom are extremely hostile to Tang San. It is truly a case of enemies meeting and their eyes turning red with hatred.

That wasn't all. Even Xuefeng, whose body was hidden in the spiritual sea of ​​Emperor Xueye, controlled his figure to walk out of the spatial portal, followed by the six-person group of Shen Xinshui who were also possessed.

"grandfather!"

Tainuo and Bai Chenxiang exclaimed in surprise at the same time because they saw their grandfather's figure.

What's going on? Why is Grandpa with those people?

"kill!"

Without wasting any words, Tian Hao, disguised as the Dragon Elephant Sword Saint, gave an order and manifested the Golden Bell Shield, which spun rapidly. He was the first to rush towards Tang San, and the others also went to find their opponents.

"Unsettled and turbulent!"

Not daring to be negligent, Tang San activated the power of the Trident of the Sea God to unleash the Unpredictable Storm, focusing his attack on the charging Dragon Elephant Sword Saint.

Having witnessed his uncle's strength, he naturally wouldn't underestimate this second prodigy who appeared after his uncle.
