Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 103 Student Teachers
“Okay,” Xiao Yuan agreed.

Han Tao nodded as well.

In his plan, Shi Nian cannot die, and neither can the Seven Gems team.

In the original novel, these seven Crouching Dragons and Phoenix Chicks were turned into idiots by Tang San's Purple Demon Eye.

"and many more!"

A voice interrupted Emperor Xueye's decision.

Everyone turned their attention to the newcomer.

A middle-aged man strode forward, wearing the Spirit Hall's honorary medal on his chest, his head held high with extreme confidence.

Yu Xiaogang.

Han Tao recognized him; they had met a few times before at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy.

"What do you want to say?"

Xiao Yuan demanded.

Yu Xiaogang ignored Xiao Yuan and walked up to Han Tao.

"Shi Nian's martial soul is Remnant Dream, a spiritual martial soul, and his seventh soul skill is Nightmare. This information has already been made public."

Han Tao was somewhat confused about Yu Xiaogang's intentions.

Is he saying all this just to assert his own presence?
Isn't that a bit too clownish?
"Yes." He nodded.

"Many people may not know that low-level Soul Masters have absolutely no chance of escape when facing high-level Spiritual Martial Souls."

Yu Xiaogang's tone was very decisive, and he presented specific examples to support his claim:
"Of the thousands of battles fought by the Spirit Hall, not a single one resulted in a successful escape. If it weren't for that, Shi Nian wouldn't have bothered to attack you."

"According to the recording stone, you and Ning Rongrong have fallen into an illusion, and there is no possibility of escape."

Han Tao frowned and asked in return:

"But we survived, so your theory is wrong."

Yu Xiaogang did not refute Han Tao, and continued his story:

"What if his goal wasn't to kill you?"

Han Tao laughed: "If he wasn't trying to kill me, then why did he pull me into the illusion? Was he inviting me for tea?"

Many members in the audience also laughed, as Shi Nian's attack was more logical in terms of both emotion and reason.

Yu Xiaogang looked somewhat uneasy.

He wasn't good at logic, so he tried every possible way to defend himself.

"Even if... even if his goal was to attack you, it doesn't necessarily have to be because of a rival academy. What if it's because of a personal grudge?"

"Personal grudge?"

Han Tao looked completely bewildered.

"Yourself and Shi Nian are two completely unrelated lines. You're telling me about personal grudges?"
He was somewhat incoherent, picking out an example: "He saw certain advantages in you, such as your external soul bone or something."

He was right; the attack was actually a secret technique for micro-management.

Han Tao remained silent and did not refute.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang continued to add:

"Since it's a personal grudge, it has nothing to do with the competition. We cannot disqualify Canghui Academy from the competition because of personal grudges."

Treating possibility as a given and trying to achieve one's own goals, the master's sophistry is laughable.

This was not enough to move Emperor Xueye, nor was it enough to move everyone present.

Nobody took his words seriously.

Han Tao lowered his head and remained silent; he roughly understood Yu Xiaogang's intention.

He forced himself to participate in the competition and used the illusion of Canghui Academy to eliminate himself.

"But why did he do that?"

Looking beyond the surface to the essence, Han Tao is seeking the reasons.

After a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

In Yu Xiaogang's eyes,

Han Tao's very existence is a mistake.

Tang San only reached level 36 under the "incredibly professional" guidance of the master, so why is Han Tao at level 44?
My innate soul power is only level 1, but my level growth is faster than Tang San's. How can I bear this?
Doesn't this make me look incredibly incompetent?

This seemingly absurd reason became the trigger for Yu Xiaogang's attack on Han Tao. "Fine!" Han Tao sighed.

Han Tao stepped forward, facing Emperor Xueye, his gaze unwavering, like a blazing fire.

"There's no need to disqualify Canghui Academy from the competition."

"Anyway, they can't beat me," Han Tao thought to himself.

The existence of the "Azure Lotus Illusionary Heart Lotus Root" led Han Tao to have an incorrect assessment of the intensity of the illusion in this world.

It wasn't until we met them that we realized they were all a bunch of noobs!
Shi Nian was no match for him, and the Seven Gems team was even less likely to be his match.

"Are you sure?" Emperor Xueye raised his head.

Han Tao nodded again, "I'm sure."

His gaze swept over Ning Fengzhi and Salas's faces, confirming several times before issuing the order:

"Alright, since the person involved is not going to pursue this matter, then we will retract our previous order. I hope you won't regret it."

As he finished speaking, the meeting of the Elite Soul Master Competition came to a conclusion.

Then, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward:

"Is it confirmed? It's a personal grudge?"

"Personal grudges should be handled in their own way. Han Tao and Ning Rongrong are members of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I hope Canghui Academy can give my sect an explanation."

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

This time, Ning Fengzhi was no longer speaking as the addressee for the National Elite Soul Master Competition.

Instead, he held Canghui Academy accountable in his capacity as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

During the National Elite Soul Master Competition, it is actually not appropriate for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to take action against other advanced soul master academies, because the timing is sensitive, and they lack legitimacy and a sense of righteousness.

However, after the previous actions, all the Soul Masters understood that Canghui Academy was at fault first.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's questioning of them is reasonable and aboveboard.

The dean of Canghui Academy is a Soul Douluo named "Canghua," whose martial soul is a white wolf. He holds a high position in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Faced with Ning Fengzhi's questioning, he had no choice but to step forward, cup his hands in a gesture of respect, and smile apologetically.

"Sect Leader Ning, I am extremely sorry."

"Shi Nian's attack was purely his personal act and had nothing to do with our college."

Han Tao rolled his eyes. "Shi Nian, the intern teacher, is really good at shifting blame."

However, under the current circumstances, it is not appropriate for Ning Fengzhi to be too demanding in his questioning.

"But he is, after all, a graduate of Canghui Academy."

Manager Ning stepped forward, his tone indifferent.

Sword Douluo summoned the Seven Kill Sword, its boundless sharpness sweeping across his collar and slicing through the clothes at his waist and ribs.

Cang Hua is not Poison Douluo; he has no deterrent power and does not need to be treated with caution.

"etc."

"I am willing to pay compensation."

Cang Hua spoke urgently, repeatedly, as if afraid that Sword Douluo would sever his head with the next sword strike.

"I am willing to offer a 30,000-year-old mental skull as compensation for this incident."

"what?"

The audience erupted in uproar.

"Soul bone?"

"Thirty thousand years, or still a skull?"

In the Douluo Continent, soul bones are extremely rare.

Even Han Tao was somewhat surprised.

The fact that Tang San possessed a soul bone at that time could be considered an accident, a gift from fate.

But the appearance of a new soul bone changed everything.

Canghui Academy holds secrets.

“Spiritual martial soul,” “systematic illusion theory,” and “multiple head soul bones”—each of these is extraordinary.
