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

Ignoring the cold expressions of Xuanzi and the others, Du Busi Tang Zhan and Dai Hao naturally sat down in their seats in the conference room.

They had guessed before they arrived that Shrek Academy would not welcome them, but they didn't care because they had a bargaining chip that Shrek Academy couldn't refuse.

"In the name of the Haotian Sect Master, I propose that we invite the Body Sect and the White Tiger Emperor to enter the secret realm and place that soul guidance pod there for us to use together."

After everyone was seated, Tang Zhan spoke first, proposing the suggestion that had been discussed earlier.

He was no longer the same person he used to be. On the way back by boat, he used the soul guidance pod to transform his body into his physical martial soul. Although the process was very painful, the results were gratifying.

After transforming into his original martial soul, his physical attributes became more than ten times stronger than before, and his soul power level was also boosted to level ninety-eight. If he could awaken his original martial soul at the silver level, his soul power would definitely break through to level ninety-nine.

Having reached the Gold-level Awakening stage, he even has a chance to break through to the level 100 God realm. Furthermore, with the combination of his original martial soul and the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, his strength is no less than that of a normal Limit Douluo. This is the source of his confidence to face Xuanzi's angry gaze.

Xuanzi could naturally sense Tang Zhan's aura clearly, and he suppressed his anger as he looked at Yan Shaozhe.

Although he is the head of the Sea God Pavilion, he is not good at dealing with this kind of thing; Shao Zhe has to handle it.

"Entering the secret realm is permitted, but you must compensate Shrek for our sake."

Yan Shaozhe agreed to Tang Zhan's proposal, but also brought up the issue of compensation. Shrek Academy was the one taking the blame for this incident and suffered heavy losses.

The people of Shrek City have almost all fled, and it's basically a waste, not to mention the casualties suffered by the academy itself.

“We have heard about what happened to your college, but it has nothing to do with us. It was your people who were greedy and looted Mingde Hall, which led to our involvement.”

He firmly denied the claim that he would not offer any compensation.

They did have the idea of ​​getting Shrek involved, but that was after the plan succeeded. They didn't have the time or inclination for it during that time. Shrek got himself into trouble. In short, he deserved it!

"The original martial soul granted by that soul guidance pod is far from enough. Moreover, the soul guidance pod was created by that person. Can you be sure that person didn't leave any backup plans inside?"

Yan Shaozhe remained calm and pointed out a key point.

Although he was furious inside, he knew he absolutely couldn't show it at the negotiating table, otherwise he would only be manipulated by the other party.

As for compensation, there are ways to get it.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, although the three people who were poisoned did not change their expressions, their hearts sank, as this was precisely what they were most worried about.

Although I obtained the soul guide chamber that transforms the body, and it is indeed possible to transform the body into a true martial soul, it is very different from a true martial soul. The biggest difference is that I cannot add soul rings; I can only improve it through soul power and blood circulation, as well as by resisting attacks.

This difference made them very uneasy.

"How do you want to resolve this, and what do you want in return?"

After a long silence, Tang Zhan, Du Busi, and Dai Hao exchanged a glance and asked.

If Shrek can find or even resolve the underlying issues, they can engage in deeper cooperation.

"We will join forces to develop the Soul Guidance System. The Haotian Sect will forge and purify special metals, the Body Sect will cooperate with our research, and the White Tiger Empire will provide various human and material support. In the end, we will push the Soul Guidance System to its extreme, and then step into that person's new Soul Guidance System to start our own god-making project."

"As long as one can transform into a god, even if that person has a backup plan, it will be eliminated during the transformation process, or at least revealed."

Having revealed his plans, Yan Shaozhe wanted these three families to fully assist them in researching and improving the soul guidance system. In particular, the research on natal soul guidance devices and soul guidance cores required the participation of the Body Sect, as they had stronger control over the body and were the best test subjects.

"We need to discuss this."

The three exchanged glances again, not immediately agreeing. After all, this was a serious matter, something they hadn't anticipated, and they needed to discuss it carefully.

"Please go ahead!"

Yan Shaozhe stood up and walked outside. Xuanzi and Xianlin'er followed him out, telling the three of them to take their time to discuss it, as they were not in a hurry.

The three turned and went to another conference room not far away, where many people were sitting, all of them new members of the Sea God Pavilion, and even Huo Yuhao had been called there.

"We have obtained the latest intelligence from the Sun Moon Empire. Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult who was captured, has been released by that person and is now building an academy on the edge of the Demon Forest, called Death Song Academy."

He must have made some kind of deal with that person. There must be that person's new soul guidance system within Death Song Academy, which presents an opportunity for us.

Yan Shaozhe revealed a piece of intelligence, which was the latest information that Shrek Academy had obtained after integrating some intelligence networks handed over by their grandfather and Feng Ling. Their understanding of the Sun Moon Empire was no longer vague.

Even the fact that we were able to learn about the changes in Mingdu so quickly last time was thanks to the intelligence network brought by the two of them.

Learning of the changes within the Holy Spirit Church gave him an opportunity.

Although we have acquired the heritage of Mingdetang, this is far from enough.

After all, the soul guidance system that Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Empire had researched before was outdated. Even if they thoroughly studied it, they could not reach the end. If they wanted Shrek Academy to truly break the deadlock, they would have to devise a plan for that person's new soul guidance system.

There are too many people watching the Super God Academy, making it difficult for them to send someone in. Besides, that person is too powerful and terrifying; he doesn't believe anyone sent there can fool them.

They had been troubled by this matter for a long time, but unexpectedly, the Death Song Academy suddenly appeared. Although it was certainly not as good as the Super God Academy, it was enough for them to get a glimpse of that person's new soul guidance system.

"Elder Long, Ling'er, you two know Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Cult best. What do you think is the best way to succeed?"

Yan Shaozhe looked at his grandfather Long Xiaoyao and Feng Ling. This matter could only be led by these two, as they came from the Holy Spirit Sect. One was the Grand Elder and the other was the Vice Leader, so they knew it best.

Moreover, Feng Ling is married to Zhong Liwu, which is a perfect advantage.

"Based on the intelligence we have, Zhongli Wu has completely transformed the Holy Spirit Cult into the current Death Song Academy. He is definitely guarding against us. We absolutely cannot use those old connections, otherwise we will only expose ourselves."

To infiltrate, one must first be a demonic spirit master.

Long Xiaoyao remained silent, but Feng Ling revealed a breakthrough point: the evil soul master.

Death Song Academy was, after all, a transformation of the Holy Spirit Cult. In the end, it still belongs to the evil spirit masters. To infiltrate it, one must be an evil spirit master; this is the fundamental requirement.

"Evil Soul Master!"

Everyone fell into deep thought, finding the situation extremely difficult, except for Huo Yuhao, who had a sudden inspiration and some ideas.

His second martial soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, was fused with the necromantic power of Ilex, and combined with the necromantic magic he acquired, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an evil martial soul.

If I manifest this identity, could I infiltrate Death Song Academy and steal my uncle's new Soul Guidance System for Shrek Academy?

Of course, Huo Yuhao didn't mention this, because the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul was also sensitive and it was best not to expose it to avoid being targeted, especially to provoke retaliation from the Xuanbing Empire.

He is definitely not someone he can contend with right now, but there are ways to work around it. He just needs to improve his strength, especially his necromancy.

After discussing the matter for a long time without reaching a conclusion, the group had no choice but to disperse for the time being.

After leaving the conference room, Huo Yuhao did not follow Xian Lin'er to the Soul Guidance Department, but went to the Martial Soul Department. He watched a girl fighting against a teacher from the academy, and his eyes became somewhat infatuated.

"Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong, what exactly is their relationship? Siblings? Or brother and sister?"

As he pondered, Huo Yuhao began to guess the girl's identity.

He was captivated by the girl at first sight. She looked so much like his good friend Wang Dong, like twins, and their names were even similar, which made him think a lot.

Wang Qiu'er also sensed Huo Yuhao's arrival. Although Huo Yuhao was currently wearing a disguise mask, the power of destiny could not be hidden, at least not from her, the original owner of the body. She also began to pay attention to him.

Unbeknownst to the two, there was another person watching them—a young man with an extremely burly build and a full beard, who was none other than Tang Wutong, who was once again disguised as a man.

However, compared to before when she needed to dress up deliberately, now she doesn't need to disguise herself at all and no one thinks she is a woman. She has passed by Huo Yuhao several times, but he didn't recognize her or even react. This made Tang Wutong very angry and frustrated.

"Dad, where did Uncle and Uncle go? Why haven't they come back to see me yet?"

After watching for a while, Tang Wutong walked away angrily, while inwardly asking her father's divine sense that she hadn't seen her eldest and second uncles for a long time.

"They have something very important to do, and it has to be kept secret for now."

Tang San did not reveal the truth through his divine sense. His daughter was still young, and he did not want her to harbor hatred or do anything irrational.

That human is too strong, a true peerless genius, no less than the two that the original body faced ten thousand years ago. At present, the original body is still in seclusion, cutting off all contact with the outside world, so we can only wait patiently.

We'll discuss everything once the main body emerges from seclusion. By then, the main body should have become a God-King. Furthermore, as a native deity born in this world, the suppression from the plane will be much less severe. With the main body taking action, they won't be able to cause any trouble here.

The key point now is the main body's scheme against the Emperor Beast. Whether the daughter can independently reach level 100 and become a god, and perfectly inherit the divine position, depends on that beast.

After watching for a while, Huo Yuhao still didn't have the courage to go over and date her, and eventually returned to his dormitory.

It's time to replace the spirit rings!

Replacing a spirit ring is no small matter and must be done with utmost care. Otherwise, if a mistake is made, it would be disastrous to ruin the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

He and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm have only now gained enough confidence through their research to be able to handle any unexpected situations.

The Lotus Lantern manifested to seal off and isolate the entire dormitory room, preventing any commotion from being noticed by outsiders.

"Brother Tianmeng, we can begin!"

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao greeted Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and then, following the deduced secret method, guided the power of destiny within the Eye of Destiny into his eyes, using the repulsive nature of the power of destiny to repel the soul ring on the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

The first one to be rejected was the second spirit ring, which had the lowest age and was the weakest.

The portion of the spirit ring's origin that was integrated into Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul was repelled, causing the spirit ring to shatter. The origin belonging to Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul was separated and returned to the Martial Soul.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm controlled an Evil Eye Tyrant to perform a sacrifice. Because the sacrifice was performed in the Sea of ​​Spirituality plane, all anomalies were shielded and did not show up in the outside world.

A vast power erupted, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, relying on its immense spiritual power, controlled the power of the Evil Eye Tyrant, separating a small portion to transform into a black soul ring that was placed on Huo Yuhao's body.

Huo Yuhao's current mental strength and physical attributes combined are sufficient to support a ten-thousand-year soul ring. He can release it gradually as his strength increases in the future.

In any case, the Sea of ​​Spirit plane is large enough to easily contain the power of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

Huo Yuhao outside also easily accepted the spirit ring and gained a new spirit skill.

However, neither Huo Yuhao nor Tianmeng Ice Silkworm noticed, or rather, failed to notice, that the spirit ring refined this time was eroding the Spirit Eye Martial Soul to a deeper degree. It was the most profound kind of modification, and it could even be said that it was cutting off the control of these eyes.

However, this kind of erosion is a natural phenomenon in the refinement of soul rings, at most it is a bit deeper, and it is too difficult to detect.

If things continue like this, these eyes will inevitably no longer belong to Huo Yuhao in the future. Clearly, a pie falling from the sky is not something to be eaten; it's poisonous.

What skill is it?

After Huo Yuhao perfectly absorbed that spirit ring, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked nervously.

Although he could control the Evil Eye Tyrant to sacrifice, he could not control the choice of skills, which depended on the compatibility between Huo Yuhao's martial soul and the origin of his soul ring.

"It's a mental energy field!"

Huo Yuhao replied that he was very satisfied with the soul skill.

The documents in the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire contain detailed records of the abilities of those ferocious beasts, with the Evil Eye Tyrant being a key figure. There are even records of the Evil Emperor, who has become a divine beast, detailing all his abilities.

This mental field is one of them. Moreover, because the power of the sacrificed Evil Eye Tyrant far exceeds that of its own Spirit Eye Martial Soul, the Martial Soul has little impact on the formation of the Soul Skill, thus perfectly preserving the Evil Eye Tyrant's innate ability.

"Currently, due to your limited capacity, you can only use a black ten-thousand-year soul ring. Even if you upgrade it to its maximum in the future, you will still only be able to have one soul skill. However, you can add all the essence of the Evil Eye Tyrant to it, making the strength of this soul skill far exceed that of a single ferocious beast soul ring skill."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also very satisfied with this skill, and then explained the advantages and disadvantages of the skill obtained through this method.

Logically, such a ferocious beast spirit ring should be able to have at least three spirit skills, but because of their trickery, they can only obtain one initially. Even if they integrate all the sealed power into it to increase the spirit ring's age in the future, they will not be able to add any more spirit ring skills.

Since it wasn't a sacrifice of his own flesh, the extent of his control was limited, resulting in this flaw.

"That's better. Increasing the strength of a single soul skill will allow me to use it for a longer period of time, so that I won't be eliminated too early."

Huo Yuhao was very satisfied with this flaw, and even considered it a great advantage.
