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

"Too many people are eyeing our ducal mansion. I must gain enough military merits to secure my position as duke and the glory that my ancestors fought for."

Dai Hao shook his head slightly. He knew that the battlefield was dangerous, especially since he was a descendant of the White Tiger lineage and would be targeted by the Sun Moon Empire.

Even though he has now become a Soul Saint, he is not confident that he can survive on the battlefield.

But he had to go, not only to maintain the Duke's status and glory, but also to take control of the Empire's Western Army Group, the most elite legion in the empire. His White Tiger lineage had served and managed it for generations, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was the Duke's private army.

That was the foundation upon which their ducal mansion stood in the empire, and it could not be allowed to be touched by others.

Therefore, he had to go!

Moreover, his father's old injuries recurred, and his health deteriorated, making him unable to lead the Western Army Group in the war against the Sun Moon Empire. This was also a major reason why he passed the title to me.

He has to step up; he can't back down!

Seeing her husband's determination, Zhu Qingxia knew she couldn't persuade him, so she didn't say anything more, but her worries remained.

Just then, countless soul-guided beams suddenly shot out from the calm lake surface, pointing directly at Dai Hao in the pavilion.

This attack was too sudden and too dense. Although they did not use any high-level soul tools to avoid premature exposure, with the highest level being only level six, the scale of the attack was such that even a Soul Douluo would have to temporarily avoid the attack. Killing a Soul Saint would be enough.

In addition, the suddenness of the event makes it difficult to react in time.

However, as the new generation of White Tiger Grand Duke, Dai Hao naturally possesses a multitude of life-saving soul tools.

Without time to activate his martial spirit, Dai Hao immediately activated the defensive soul tool on his chest, transforming it into a wall of soul power to block the attack.

Although this is only a level seven soul tool, it is a one-time use item. Its explosive defensive power is enough to withstand an attack from a titled Douluo, and blocking this wave of soul tool rays is no problem.

Using the barrier of soul power, Dai Hao stood up, activated his martial soul, and stared coldly at the lake.

The White Tiger Guards around them rushed over, activating their Martial Souls and their Soul Tools with their Soul Power, ready to fight.

Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed, the powerful figure hidden in the lake broke free and rushed out of the water.

"A swift and decisive victory!"

A tall, thin old man shouted and unleashed his soul pressure, pressing down on the attacker.

The White Tiger Guards, who were preparing to counterattack, all knelt down under that terrifying soul pressure, and even Dai Hao's expression changed slightly.

"Title Douluo!"

That was definitely a Title Douluo. The Sun Moon Empire really thought highly of me, actually sending a Title Douluo to infiltrate the heart of the empire to assassinate me.

The tall, thin old man didn't waste any words or use any soul tools; instead, he manifested his own martial soul.

It was a dark spear, more than ten feet long, with a slender and sharp blade.

Three of the nine spirit rings on his body were flashing, clearly indicating that the spirit skills within them had been activated, including the Martial Spirit True Body of the seventh spirit ring.

As the seventh spirit ring's martial spirit true form was activated, the spear's form remained unchanged, but black light shimmered on it, especially the blade, where the sharpness became more concentrated.

The sharp spearhead pierced the wall of soul power light, held for a moment, then pierced through the wall and continued to pierce Dai Hao, who was suppressed by soul pressure and had no way to retreat or dodge.

Just as Dai Hao was about to be killed, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side, shoved Dai Hao aside, but stopped in the line of the spear's attack.

The person who pushed Dai Hao away was Huo Yun'er. Although the old man's soul pressure was terrifying, it could only target soul masters with soul power, and soul power was the medium through which soul pressure was exerted.

Huo Yun'er was just an ordinary person. When she awakened her martial soul, she didn't even have innate soul power, which allowed her to avoid the suppression of soul pressure.

"A distorted love!"

Seeing this, Tian Hao, who had taken control of the temporary body, muttered a complaint in his heart, then threw out the body's martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, and continued to rush into the pavilion.

He also wanted to possess Huo Gua's body; he couldn't let that little guy die prematurely.

This was also a variable he had been guarding against.

"when!"

The tip of the Soul-Breaking Spear precisely struck the spear blade, deflecting it slightly and grazing Huo Yun'er's cheek.

The old man was greatly shocked, never expecting that someone could still launch an attack under his soul pressure.

It's understandable that the woman, who had no soul power, was only slightly affected and able to move. However, the person who made the move this time was a soul master with soul power, and judging from the aura of soul power, he was clearly only a three-ring soul master, the lowest level among the White Tiger Guards.

It was truly strange that a three-ring Soul Master could ignore his own soul pressure and attack, and even accurately strike his own spear blade during such a high-speed thrust.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Tian Hao had already rushed into the pavilion with this body, and grabbed the Soul-Breaking Spear that had bounced back. He turned the spear and thrust it towards the old man's lower abdomen, a vital spot.

Without much thought, the old man swung his spear, sending the old man flying, and then continued his attack on Dai Hao, who was being suppressed by the soul pressure, to finish off the newly appointed White Tiger Duke.

Although he was surprised that the opponent could withstand the soul pressure and make a move, he was ultimately just a Soul Venerable, and could be dealt with with a casual strike.

However, this attack failed to work, and Tian Hao dodged it with a backbend, releasing his grip and letting the Soul-Breaking Spear continue to pierce the old man's lower abdomen.

This scene made the old man's face darken. He could only unleash his soul power, trying to use it to break through the spear.

After all, it was the soul power unleashed by a Title Douluo-level expert. Although the impact was not as great as a soul skill, it was still far beyond what the Soul-Breaking Spear could withstand.

The Soul-Shattering Spear, which had been thrusting rapidly, was momentarily stunned and then sent flying back.

But at that moment, Tian Hao kicked the end of the gun handle, adding power to the Soul-Breaking Spear and activating all three soul rings. The power was added to the gun body, forcibly breaking through the soul power impact.

This descendant of the Broken Clan clearly followed the extreme development path of his ancestors. All the spirit rings he attached were of the attack type and were selected from the same type of spirit beast, enabling him to use the Fusion Ring skill to further enhance his attack power.

The old man was clearly still surprised by the White Tiger Guard's reaction, and had no choice but to leap back.

If it were any other part of his body, he would rather endure the pain than fail to kill Dai Hao and the others in the pavilion, since the mission came first.

But that part is truly unbearable; it's an instinct for any man.

It doesn't matter, as releasing a soul skill from a distance can still kill everyone on the spot.

However, Tian Hao would not allow his opponent to create distance and unleash his soul skill. At the same time as the opponent leaped back, he rushed forward and grabbed the Soul-Breaking Spear, which fell into his palm once again.

While walking on water, he thrust his spear rapidly, using extremely precise control to unleash the body's power and speed to the maximum, even exceeding the limits.

Both arms were bleeding, clearly indicating injury, and he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Tian Hao didn't care about this. After all, it was just a temporary body. Moreover, the person's soul pressure that suppressed Dai Hao would definitely be sensed by the experts in the Duke's mansion, where there were also titled Douluo.

As long as you hold out until the titled Douluo from the Duke's mansion arrives, you can escape and then recover after being treated by a healing-type Soul Master.

Moreover, it is believed that this performance will be enough to make the original owner of this body valued, then promoted and given a raise, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life, which can be considered a stroke of luck.

Faced with this vicious and ruthless attack, the old man could only retreat again and again, trying to fight back, but the opponent's spear was unusually slippery and would not clash with his spear at all.

Furthermore, the opponent's attacks were extremely sneaky and ruthless, targeting all three lower body areas, and even seemed to be aimed at mutual destruction.

Who could withstand that?

What's even more frustrating is that every time he tries to unleash his soul ring skill, his opponent detects it in advance and launches a powerful attack, targeting his weaknesses and forcing him to abandon accumulating soul power to activate his soul skill.

Unfortunately, his soul skills all require a short period of accumulating soul power before they can be activated, and he doesn't have any instant-cast skills, which puts him at a significant disadvantage.

He couldn't even retrieve a soul tool from his storage soul tool to assist him, which the other party was clearly wary of.

And so, Tian Hao walked on water while using his lower-level spear techniques to force the old man to retreat continuously, away from the pavilion.

As the old man was forced back, Dai Hao and the others finally recovered from the terrifying soul pressure and stared in shock at the figure wearing the White Tiger Guard's standard armor.

The White Tiger Guards also recovered and hurriedly activated their soul-guided devices to intercept the other attackers rushing out of the lake.

"What's his name?"

While using his Martial Soul True Form to transform into a white tiger to protect his wife, Dai Hao asked Du Leisi, who had come to his side, a question.

He could tell that it was his own White Tiger Guard, but when did he get such a powerful man under his command?

"It's the Soul-Breaking Spear, I think it's named Yang Erlang."

Dureis also activated his martial spirit, keeping a close eye on the battle in the lake.

The White Tiger Guards consist of a total of five hundred men. The previous generation of White Tiger Guards fought alongside the Duke in the western battlefield and suffered heavy losses. The new generation of White Tiger Guards was personally trained by him. Although there are only two hundred of them, they are all elites and are a special training base for the Duke.

As the trainer, he was familiar with everyone's situation, but he never expected that Yang Erlang could unleash such combat power.

Although the spear technique was somewhat underhanded, it did force a Title Douluo to retreat.

"Is he Yang Erlang?"

Dai Hao found it hard to believe. This batch of White Tiger Guards were mostly his playmates, and he was quite familiar with them. He was not unfamiliar with Yang Erlang.

But Yang Erlang's behavior wasn't this exaggerated before.

Zhu Qingxia, who was being protected at the back, glanced at the figures fighting in the lake, and then looked at Huo Yun'er, who was still in shock, beside her.

While others might not have seen it, she had a very clear view from behind. Ever since the soul force ray was shot, Yang Erlang had been rushing towards them.

Because that person was the first to react, he stood out and was noticed by her.

But Yang Erlang did not unleash his power when his husband was about to be killed by the old man's spear. It was only when Huo Yun'er pushed her husband away and faced the spear directly that Yang Erlang suddenly swung his spear.

Clearly, Yang Erlang cared more about Huo Yun'er's safety than her husband, which gave her some ideas. Perhaps she could use Huo Yun'er to get rid of this threat.

She knew her husband had already taken this slut's body, and recently this slut had even shown symptoms of morning sickness, clearly indicating that she was pregnant with an illegitimate child, which was undoubtedly a threat to her son.

The succession to the dukedom is even more intense, with little regard for the status of direct descendants or even illegitimate children. As long as one has sufficient ability and strength, one can become the duke's heir.

Therefore, even if she is the legal wife and the youngest daughter of the current emperor, she cannot guarantee that her son will eventually inherit the title of duke.

The best approach is to eliminate all competitors!

Tian Hao was unaware that he had been targeted by a woman, and was currently controlling Yang Erlang's body to entangle the old man with pure gun skills.

That's right, it's just entanglement.

Even with his current level of control, it would be impossible for him to control such a body to defeat a Title Douluo, after all, he is only a three-ring Soul Master, and his upper limit is limited.

Now, the only way to keep the opponent occupied is by using underhanded tactics.

But it can only hold out for a minute at most. Once the opponent gets used to this offensive, they will definitely be able to kill this body instantly.

Fortunately, he had already sensed a surge of soul power emanating from the Duke's mansion. It was also at the Title Douluo level, and it had clearly sensed the anomaly here and was on its way.

I only need to control this body for another ten seconds or so before I can leave.

But that's the ideal situation, and right now he's not facing just one person; the other person has helpers.

The surrounding air suddenly solidified and compressed, causing him to freeze for a moment.

"A wind-attribute control-type Soul Master!"

Tian Hao instantly realized that it was a wind-attribute control-type Soul Master who had made the move, and this was going to be troublesome.

The old man clearly had a good understanding with him, and at the same time that Tian Hao was controlled, he swung his spear and slashed, cutting the Soul-Breaking Spear in half with the spear blade.
