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

My Martial Soul, the Holy Dragon of Light, has already undergone a divine evolution. Its dragon power is comparable to that of a true dragon, enough to guide your Martial Soul's evolution. The future of the academy rests on your shoulders.

As he spoke, he raised his other hand and injected the divine power generated by the transformation of his martial soul into Xuanzi's body, helping his martial soul evolve.

His martial soul, the Holy Dragon of Light, possesses the power of light and the dragon power unique to dragon-type martial souls. It is best suited for evolving dragon-type martial souls. It can be split into two to evolve the martial souls of Beibei and Xuanzi respectively, so that he can rest assured.

Xuanzi also sensed something amiss in Mu En's words. After using that divine dragon power to evolve his martial soul into Taotie, he didn't have time to feel the benefits of the evolution and hurriedly asked, "Elder Mu, has something gone wrong?"

Old Master Mu acted very strangely today, as if he were making his final arrangements, which made Old Master Mu very uneasy.

Mu En did not respond immediately, but waited until his great-grandson Bei Bei completed his martial soul evolution before speaking: "That person is more powerful than we imagined. I can only eliminate him by risking my life. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back from this ambush. The future of the academy depends on you."

But you must remember, this was a wrong choice and a wrong approach. We were wrong, and it was a choice we were forced to make. I don't want you to go down this path in the future, otherwise it could easily lead Shrek Academy into an abyss of no return.

Moon admitted that they had made a mistake once again, that they were once again killing the future of humanity, and that no matter the reason, they would become the eternal sinners of mankind.

I just hope Shrek won't make this wrong choice again in the future.

Chapter 745 Ambush and Counterattack

"Grandpa Xuan, can we not go? We Shrek Academy don't need to be at odds with Mr. Xuan."

Seeing that Grandpa Xuan was determined to die, Bei Bei panicked; he didn't want to lose Grandpa Xuan.

Moreover, how could Xuanzu, who had only achieved the level of a hundred god, die like this?

"It was out of helplessness, and also out of greed; there was no other choice."

Moon sighed. He had to make this wrong choice, even if it cost him his life.

It wasn't just for Shrek; it was also out of necessity.

As a follower of the sea god, and having been elevated to godhood by him, there came a price to pay. Faced with the sea god's divine decree, he had no power to refuse and could only step forward.

Hopefully, this is the last wrong choice, and that Shrek doesn't really end up on the opposite side of all humanity.

He knew that the main reason why the four great empires were secretly wary and resistant to Shrek Academy was because of Tang San, the Sea God. It was not only because of what Tang San did before he became a god, but also because of his destruction of the sword dao inheritance after he became a god.

The sea god, after becoming a god, is no longer human, and I have now embarked on that path as well. I suppose the sea god must have felt the same helplessness back then.

“My mind is made up. You don’t need to persuade me anymore. Focus on improving your strength and wisdom. Power without wisdom to wield is pathetic, just like I am now.”

He waved his hand, no longer wanting to listen to advice, because it was useless; some things were beyond his control.

Leaving aside the conversation between the three people in the Sea God Pavilion above, Tang Wutong's body was undergoing a tremendous change in a secret room below.

Before returning, Huo Yuhao had been cultivating with Tang Wutong, using the so-called Hao Dong power to accelerate his cultivation.

Huo Yuhao also transferred some of the life force he obtained from the Gold of Life into Tang Wutong's body, integrating it into her body cells, including the martial soul bloodline located in the cell nucleus.

Xiao Wu's bloodline, which had been secretly nurtured by Tian Hao's divine sense with the help of the Lotus Lantern, finally reached the critical point and awakened on its own.

A martial spirit can awaken on its own, as long as the power of the martial spirit bloodline is strong enough.

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo awakened on his own, possessing innate full soul power.

When Xiao Wu gave birth to Tang Wutong, she had already become a god, and her body underwent a complete transformation, including her martial soul and bloodline.

Her martial soul bloodline had already mutated and solidified. Now that it has been awakened, it will instinctively change Tang Wutong's body. In addition, the life force she obtained from Huo Yuhao will accelerate and intensify this change.

The most frustrating part is that Tang Wutong is in a deep state of enlightenment because of the power of light from the Golden Tree, and she has no sense of the changes in her body. Meanwhile, Tang San's divine sense in her spiritual sea is dormant and will not awaken unless there is a life-threatening danger.

The awakening of a martial spirit is not a matter of life and death, nor will it affect the sea of ​​the mind, so it is difficult to detect.

As his body gradually expanded, his bones became thicker, and his muscles became full and well-defined, while remaining strong and taut, like steel bars.

Soon his body reached a height of 2.5 meters, and due to changes in his hormones, the hair on his body became more abundant, with a layer of downy hair appearing on his upper and lower lips and cheeks.

Tang Wutong was unaware of these changes, and she would likely collapse when she woke up.

Leaving aside the various thoughts and changes on Shrek Academy's side, the Soul Battle Tournament in Star Luo City continued, eventually turning into a duel between Tian Hao's own disciples.

These are the teams representing Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy (where Meng Hongchen is), Di'ao Team (where Vina is), Star Luo Royal Academy Team (where Xu Jiujiu is), and Tianling Academy Team (where Gai Dalun is).

The teams representing the four academies made it to the semifinals and faced off in pairs. The Di'ao Academy team was matched against Gai Dalun's Tianling team. Jiang Peng swung his Heaven-Shaking Axe and hacked wildly at Gai Dalun, but it was of little use.

"Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes!"

With a solemn expression, Jiang Peng leaped back, gathered his strength, and swung his Heaven-Shaking Axe, making it spin rapidly like a boomerang. At the same time, his first soul ring flashed, allowing him to remotely control it.

This is his first spirit ring. He was originally going to get a powerful attack-type spirit ring, but something went wrong and it turned into a control-type spirit ring skill.

Finally, with the help of his teachers at the academy, he mastered this self-created soul skill, which allowed him to control the Heaven-Shaking Axe to spin at high speed and attack eighteen times in a row.

However, his attacks were still useless against Gai Dalun, who was already immune to Soul Saint-level attacks.

He continued to use other spirit ring skills, but they still had no effect. Jiang Peng gritted his teeth, dragged the Heaven-Shaking Axe forward, and his sixth spirit ring shone brightly, ready to unleash his strongest killing move.

"Sixth Soul Skill - Dark Demon Shakes the Heavens!"

Once at the optimal attack range, he spun around and swung the Heaven-Shaking Axe again, adding the power of his sixth soul skill.

Dark light surged, and the Heaven-Shaking Axe rapidly grew larger in the air and began to spin at an extremely fast speed, even faster than the previous Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes. At the same time, it generated a suction force that attracted and locked onto the Great Wheel.

A strange circular symbol appeared on the ground beneath their feet, its black light identical to the light emanating from the Heaven-Shaking Axe. The ground then cracked, and black flames shot out from the cracks, engulfing Gai Dalun's entire body.

Then, the Heaven-Shaking Axe, now twice its size, slashed down, its black demonic fire merging with the flames erupting from the ground, amplifying its power even further.

This is Jiang Peng's sixth soul skill, which summons hellfire. Although the temperature is not high, it has extremely strong corrosiveness and can penetrate into the opponent's body, destroying the internal structure. It is best at breaking through defenses.

It is also his only hope now. If even the strongest Dark Demon Zhentian cannot move that thing, then there is no need to continue this battle.

"This attack is very powerful. Even a defensive Soul Saint would have to temporarily avoid it."

A voice came from the black sea of ​​fire, making Jiang Peng's heart skip a beat and his belief in the pure path of a Soul Master waver.

Will the future truly belong to Soul Masters?

"Don't be discouraged. I'll introduce you to a teacher after the competition. He seems to be quite interested in you."

Vina stepped forward to offer words of comfort, and at the same time, she wanted to introduce this companion to the teacher to see if he could be accepted as a disciple.

She discovered by chance that the teacher was paying attention to this teammate. She didn't go to the knockout stage, but the teacher watched the entire match of the Di'ao Academy team.

Among the current team of Emperor Academy, Jiang Peng is the only one who can interest the teachers. Not only has his cultivation reached the Soul Emperor level, but his martial soul is also the Heaven-Shaking Axe, which is comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer.

Perhaps the teacher has some ideas about the Heaven-Shaking Axe martial spirit.

As for this battle, she gave up, mainly because her junior brother's defense was too abnormal. Unless she could unleash an attack at the level of a Contra Douluo, it would be impossible to break through his physical defense.

What could she do when faced with something like that?

Not to mention that she has a super god-level martial soul core built on the foundation of the Snow Lotus martial soul, and follows the path of support. Although she has a certain combat power, she is no match for a tank like her junior brother. A punch from her would not even be considered a tickle.

Fortunately, with her support, the Imperial Academy team decisively defeated the Heavenly Spirit team. Even if they ultimately lost, it would be at the hands of their junior brother, not the Heavenly Spirit team.

"Does a pure Soul Master really have no future?"

Jiang Peng was very unwilling. As a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire, he had always believed in the pure Soul Master system since childhood, and Soul Masters were heretics in his eyes.

But now his proud Soul Master power has been defeated, utterly defeated, and in the end, he couldn't even break through the opponent's defenses.

"Human power is finite, and it is not shameful to appropriately rely on external forces, just like the precious medicines you took during your cultivation, which are also a kind of external force."

Or rather, it's not quite accurate to say external force, but rather wisdom. Talent is innate, while wisdom is accumulated later in life. As long as you can master it, it becomes your own power.

What our Heavenly Soul Empire truly rejects are those Soul Masters who abandon their own improvement and instead focus entirely on Soul Tools, not the Soul Guidance System itself.

Not to mention that the teacher has already elevated the Soul Guidance System to a completely new level, perfectly integrating it with the Soul Master System. Gai Dalun is still growing and hasn't yet shown the true power of the God-Making Project, and the rest of us are the same.”

"Even after all that, they still haven't shown their true strength?"

Jiang Peng found it hard to believe. That thing had just stood there and let him hit it, even withstanding his sixth soul skill.

Such formidable strength, yet it's not even true power?

What exactly is this god-making project?

"If you want to know, take good care of yourself these next few days and try to become a disciple of the teacher. Then you will see the real world."

With a light laugh, Vina offered no explanation, only instructing Jiang Peng to conserve his energy and strive to present his best self to the teacher.

If they could make Jiang Peng their disciple, their Heavenly Soul Empire would have a significant advantage, especially since Jiang Peng is a power-attack type Soul Master, which would perfectly compensate for their lack of combat power.

Jiang Peng's eyes flickered as he thought of his father, who had died in the far north, and the ancestors who had mysteriously disappeared. A longing welled up in his heart—a longing for greater power.

Although I don't want to admit it, a simple Soul Master does have limited potential. At most, I can only become a Super Douluo, but that person can help me break through the limits of my potential.

Putting everything else aside, if I could possess the physical attributes of Gai Dalun, especially his defense and strength, my combat power would increase by several levels.

Many spectators in the audience area gained a deeper understanding of Gai Dalun's defensive capabilities, and those forces that knew of his existence understood that the future would definitely belong to Soul Masters, and that simple Soul Masters had already been eliminated.

This made countless forces even more eager, especially the four great empires, who became even more determined to increase their investment.

Once you master the new Soul Guidance System, you'll have the power to fight even the gods. After all, in their world, gods are suppressed and unable to unleash their full potential. This is the main reason why those geniuses and powerful figures were able to slaughter gods ten thousand years ago.

If our ancestors from ten thousand years ago could do it, they could do it too, to wrest humanity's fate back from the hands of the gods.

"Vice Captain, we think we're being watched, and the feeling is getting stronger. They're probably about to take action."

On the stands of the Zheng Tian team, Shangguan Can looked down at the figures shrouded in demonic fire in the arena below and said in a low voice.

As a spirit-type Soul Master, although he lacks the skills to probe and sense, his perception is still far beyond that of ordinary people.

He'd had a strange feeling these past couple of days, clearly feeling like he was being watched.

However, the other party was very experienced and did not reveal their body, making it impossible for him to be sure. They were obviously waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

"They're probably here for revenge, but I wonder who did it?"

Playing with the flame in their hands, Yan'er was eager to try it out; they were just waiting for Shrek's revenge!

"Don't be careless. Use the soul tool to notify the captain and the others that we're going to launch an ambush. I'll ask Sister Xian'er to send someone to cover our retreat."

Yu Mengdi offered a reminder, as she had also been waiting for this day, but she hadn't expected it to come so soon. Clearly, the person who came didn't have much patience, and such a person was easier to deal with.

Shangguan Can took out a soul tool and pressed a few buttons on it, quickly contacting the three captains who were recuperating in the Blue Silver Forest.

This is a special soul tool they obtained from that base, capable of making contact within a certain range. It's said to be a casual creation of that big shot.

Yang Yifan, who was undergoing adaptive training in the underground base, suddenly leaped back. Because his entire body was made of soul-guided machinery, the soul-guided device used for communication was placed inside his body, allowing him to receive calls directly.

Ye Wuqing and Tang Xiaolei also stopped in time, waiting for Yang Yifan's response.

"Captain, Brother Lei, some guests have their eyes on the vice-captain and the others."

After hearing what Shangguan Can said, Yang Yifan chuckled coldly.
