Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

"No...no...I don't want to die...I don't want to die!!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with fear of death, their lips trembling, and while they could still maintain their Martial Soul True Body, they unleashed their strongest attack or defense methods once again.

The Soul Saint at the head of the group had the giant bear behind him emitting an increasingly dim light, but he still gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with rage, and pushed his hands upwards to create a thick barrier of soul power.

Despite his injuries, the fat Soul Saint endured the torment of both body and mind, and erected a round, emerald-green shield.

The short Soul Saint who had fled first stopped running away and came behind the fat Soul Saint, sending his soul power into the round shield. He was an agility-type Soul Saint, and facing such a large-scale attack, he couldn't escape and could only rely on the fat Soul Saint's defense.

The other Soul Saints also unleashed their own methods, releasing scorching flames in an attempt to burn the incoming extreme cold sword shadows, while some released huge rocks that blasted upwards.

Although they were Soul Saints, they were completely overwhelmed by the relentless attacks of the two Soul Emperors, the senior and junior siblings, and could only struggle to hold on.

The most fatal flaw is that none of the seven of them can fly. Facing the two senior and junior brothers flying hundreds of meters in the air, they can only passively take the beating, which is extremely frustrating.

Even if they were allowed to jump up with their Soul Saint abilities, the problem is that none of them could withstand the overwhelming rain of swords.

With freezing, corrosion, mental attacks, and weakening of soul power, none of them had the ability to guarantee they could reach the two alive.

Chapter 123 Cleaning Up the Battlefield, the Problem of Scoundrels from the Spirit Hall

"Jingle bells!!"

A dense rain of swords poured down, the sharp sword shadows expanding with the defensive and offensive soul skills released from the ground, emitting crisp and ear-piercing sounds.

Wherever Gu Han released his icy blue sword shadow, it quickly condensed into large areas of strangely shaped ice crystals. These crystals varied in form, some resembling sharp icicles and others like twisted ice pillars, all exuding a chilling aura.

Bibi Dong's dark golden sword energy mercilessly eroded the earth, leaving large areas of black corrosion. The soil on the ground looked as if it had been scorched, emitting a pungent smell. Even the subsequent cold air was blocked, unable to freeze the place.

Under this terrifying attack, one of the Soul Saints was the first to be unable to withstand it. In a moment of carelessness, he was pierced through the heart by a sword. Immediately afterwards, countless sword shadows fell and pierced through his body.

He didn't even have time to scream before he was instantly turned into an ice sculpture, and then shattered by the subsequent sword shadows.

This scene acted as a terrible fuse, causing the psychological defenses of the other Soul Saints to completely collapse.

Their resistance became increasingly difficult. The terrifying mental suppression caused them to collapse one after another, turning into ice shards under the barrage of arrows, scattering across the ground.

In the blink of an eye, of the seven Soul Saints, only the fat Soul Saint with the shield, the short Soul Saint, and the giant bear Soul Saint who was the leader were still struggling to hold on.

The fat Soul Saint's shield was riddled with holes and covered with ice, and even his body was covered with a layer of ice crystals.

The short Soul Saints were not having an easy time either. Although they were hiding behind the shield, they were suffering the same amount of mental attacks and chilling cold.

Each drop of dark golden sword energy eroded a portion of their soul power. Combined with the terrifying mental attacks and the dense rain of swords, they were on the verge of collapse.

The leading Soul Saint was in an even more sorry state. His entire lower body was frozen under the ice, and his hands were stiffly propped up in front of him like two ice pillars. His face was as pale as paper, twisted and deformed under the mental attack.

The three gritted their teeth and did their best to maintain their defense, trying to find a glimmer of hope in their desperate situation.

However, under such dense attacks and multiple negative buffs, the three of them, like the other five, quickly turned into ice sculptures in despair and resentment, and were then shattered by the successive sword shadows.

It's a long story, but from the start of the fight to its end, it only took about ten minutes.

The final wave of suppressive fire and mental attacks lasted for a full five minutes. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Han and Bibi Dong's cultivation techniques and meditation methods allowed them to recover their energy quickly, they would have been overwhelmed.

In addition, their own soul power reserves are several times higher than those of ordinary people of the same level, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to withstand such a large-scale war of attrition.

Bibi Dong was breathing heavily, clearly exhausted from the two consecutive battles.

Similarly, Gu Han's sixth soul skill, in order to suppress these Soul Saints and prevent them from having a chance to retaliate, used all its power, with soul power circulating wildly as if it were free.

Now, Gu Han's soul power is less than 20% of what it used to be. If he had been impatient for quick success and disregarded the quality of his soul power in order to frantically pursue higher levels, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on in the face of the current situation.

Moreover, given the same aptitude and environmental resources, pursuing higher levels without regard to the quality of one's soul power will ultimately yield mediocre results, certainly not as high as the achievements reached through steady, step-by-step cultivation.

In the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is to be impatient for quick success. If Gu Han wants to go further, he must move forward steadily, one step at a time.

Of course, this excludes the possibility of rare and precious treasures. As long as it does not affect one's own foundation, or even helps to improve one's potential, it can be used as an auxiliary treatment.

However, it is important to note that one cannot rely solely on these. Excessive drug use may lead to rapid advancement in cultivation, but if one's spiritual level is insufficient, it can result in the inability to control one's own power.

The two of them also set out in an unconventional manner, sitting cross-legged on the spot, closing their eyes and concentrating on their minds, and beginning a short but highly effective breathing exercise.

Before long, their breathing gradually stabilized, their complexions became rosy, and their condition improved significantly.

After they finished their meditation, the two stood up and looked around. The surroundings were a complete mess, too bad to bear to look at.

Even the corpse of that evil-eyed white tiger turned into ice shards in the rain of swords just now.

Fortunately, this place is far from the city, so under normal circumstances, no one would come here.

Gu Han glanced around and spotted seven soul tools scattered on the ground: a belt, a cloth bag, a bracelet, and a thumb ring.

Gu Han slightly raised his hand and used his soul power to collect these soul tools one by one.

Upon attempting to inject soul power, it was discovered that these soul tools were still usable and had not broken.

"These soul tools are really durable. Despite such a fierce attack, they haven't broken yet."

Among these soul tools were some common aristocratic items, as well as some dry food and water, and the rest were a large amount of gold soul coins.

In fact, after joining the Spirit Hall and becoming Qian Xunji's apprentice, Gu Han didn't care much about gold spirit coins.

After all, money is meant to be used to buy things, but in the Spirit Hall, there was no shortage of supplies, and the money was calculated according to the elders' allowances each month, which was quite considerable.

Gu Han and Bibi Dong put these soul tools away.

After that, the two quickly left the place.

After the two had walked a little further away, Qianjun and Jiangmo emerged from the shadows.

They had witnessed the entire battle that had just taken place.

Originally, Jiangmo intended to reveal himself when the Soul Saints discovered the two siblings, but Qianjun temporarily stopped him.

Then they witnessed a shocking battle: two Soul Emperors easily killed seven Soul Saints—what an incredible feat!

Even with their perfect teamwork, the two brothers, at the Soul Emperor level, weren't confident they could defeat seven Soul Saints at once and kill them all.

"It's truly terrifying. No wonder my elder brother said they have the potential to become gods."

Qianjun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The demon-slaying demon nodded in agreement.

The two of them only sighed briefly before following the senior and junior disciples from a distance.

At the same time, they wrote a letter to the temple explaining what had happened there.

This naturally drew astonishment from several of the worshippers, but I won't go into details.

For a period of time, the two siblings, senior and junior, traveled around repairing their bodies, fighting injustice, and eliminating some scoundrels within the Spirit Hall.

The worshippers naturally abhorred these scoundrels.

In their eyes, these scoundrels are like parasites crawling on the Spirit Hall, not only sucking its blood but also bringing great negative impact to it.

The Spirit Hall has always had corresponding countermeasures, but there are always some who slip through the net.

However, it can be continuously improved.

Chapter 124 Nottingham, Miles

Nottingham.

The senior and junior disciples did not go directly to the Spirit Hall here, but instead visited the nearby villages and the city to make sure that the people of the Spirit Hall here were not colluding with the city lord and spirit masters to oppress ordinary people.

The two knew that what they saw was different from what they saw when they came secretly and openly.

If they were informed in advance, their purpose in coming here would change from investigation to mere formality.

Everything was arranged perfectly, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

However, upon learning that the branch bishop of the Spirit Hall in this city was actually Miles, Gu Han was instantly delighted.

What a coincidence! I never expected that Miles was already a junior hall master of the Spirit Hall at this time.

Now, it just so happens to be the day of Martial Soul Awakening, so Gu Han and Bibi Dong have come to the countryside, to a place called Holy Soul Village.

Now, the legendary Soul Saint has long been born, and Old Jack is still middle-aged Jack, but without a doubt, Jack is now the village chief here.

The awakening of a martial spirit is something that everyone in the Douluo Continent is very familiar with, and it is also a crucial juncture that determines a person's destiny.

To avoid attracting attention, Gu Han and Bibi Dong dressed modestly, keeping a low profile.

"Huh? Who are you two? I've never seen you before."

Although the two were dressed very casually, they were still unfamiliar faces, and the villagers could tell at a glance that they were not from the village.

As Village Chief Jack gathered the children and brought them to the broken pillar in the middle of the village, he was about to tell them about the deeds of a Soul Saint who had appeared in their village decades ago when he happened to see two other people who were also there.

Gu Han and Bibi Dong turned around, looked at Village Chief Jack, smiled politely, and said, "Uncle, we are Soul Masters traveling across the continent. We happened to pass through your area and encountered a Martial Soul Awakening. We wanted to see what the commotion was like. Please forgive us for bothering you."

"It's actually a Soul Master!"

Jack looked at the two men in surprise, then quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no disturbance. It is an honor for our village that you two gentlemen have come to our village. I am the village chief and I would like to extend my greetings to you on behalf of the villagers."

"It's nothing, Uncle Jack, there's no need to be so reserved. You still need to help these children awaken their martial souls, so you don't need to worry about us."

Gu Han's smile was very approachable, making Jack feel no sense of superiority from the Soul Master.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Village Chief, you don't need to worry about me and my junior brother. We'll just watch from the side and then leave. You can do whatever you need to do."

"Hey, good."

Jack nodded repeatedly, and then began to tell the children about the origin of the broken pillar. When he spoke of the Soul Saint, his face was filled with pride, as if the Soul Saint was himself.

After finishing his explanation, Jack led the group of children to the Spirit Hall at the entrance of the village.

Despite being called the Spirit Hall, it was really just a spacious wooden hut.

The Soul Master who came this time was not the legendary blind Douluo Su Yuntao, but he was also a Great Soul Master of level 20 or so.

Jack walked forward with a forced smile and greeted the other party: "Soul Master, thank you for your hard work this year as well."

“Yes, but this year is different from before.” Great Soul Master Tong Yun nodded first, then changed the subject and spoke.

"Huh? What's different?" Jack asked, puzzled.

Tong Yun did not answer Jack's question immediately. Instead, he walked to the entrance of the Spirit Hall and said, "Everyone, Lord Miles said that according to the notice from above, starting this year, each village must pay one hundred gold soul coins every year when awakening a spirit. Otherwise, the Spirit Hall will not provide awakening services."

"Wh...what?"

Jack was completely stunned, as were the other villagers. The children who were to awaken this year looked at each other blankly.
