Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 307 Tang San's Wisdom: Turning the Tide of Battle
After the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Sea God finished communicating, these two mortal enemies seemed to have become more open-minded, no longer shouting for each other to fight, and no longer filled with hatred as before.

After some discussion, Yang Xiong and Poseidon and the others decided to leave Poseidon Island again.

Now only Shui Bing'er is left on Seagod Island. She needs to undergo the assessment again, and the assessment is extremely difficult, not something she can easily complete now.

Although everyone was reluctant to leave, they still decided to depart. After all, a great war was currently raging on the continent, and both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Body School had already penetrated deep into the conflict. If they could not return immediately, the war would likely become extremely brutal.

Yang Xiong could sense that Qian Renxue was only one step away from becoming a god, and judging from the time, she should have already reached level ninety-nine.

Once Qian Renxue becomes a god, the battlefield at Jialing Pass will likely be in real trouble.

Of course, even after absorbing the Deep Sea Magic Crystal King's soul ring and soul bone, a voice still echoed in Yang Xiong's mind.

"Yang Xiong, the sixth of the Nine Trials of Asura, you have obtained the ninth soul ring and the torso soul bone. You must not kill innocent people indiscriminately and must not leave any hidden dangers. The trial is completed. You are rewarded with 10% Asura affinity, and your total affinity is 70%."

Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was extremely surprised at the time. After the Shura affinity reached 70%, the martial soul seemed to have begun to change in the direction of godhood. The Shura Demon Sword became incredibly easy to use, as if it were something he was born with. The sword techniques inherited from the Shura God also became clearer, and even the killing intent and domain on his body became stronger.

……

Compared to Yang Xiong's group's voyage, the battle at Jialing Pass was far more brutal.

The departure of the seven Soul Douluo-level experts from Jialing Pass had a significant impact on the Heaven Dou Empire, especially the loss of Ning Rongrong, a top-tier support.

Although Tang San has begun to learn the Great Sumeru Hammer, he has only been learning it for a short time and is not yet able to use it effectively. Therefore, he still has some shortcomings when fighting Bibi Dong.

The battlefield at Jialing Pass resembled a giant millstone, with countless casualties on both sides. Not only were ordinary soldiers killed or wounded, but even many Soul Douluo masters perished. Originally, the Heavenly Dou Empire's army of 1.6 million had suffered nearly half its casualties after such a fierce battle.

The Soul Master Terminal also suffered heavy losses, with nearly 40% of the disciples from the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School being killed or wounded. The Body Sect suffered over 400 casualties out of its 1,000 disciples, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fared slightly better, with over 600 casualties out of its 2,000 disciples. This was because the Body Sect disciples were generally located at the rear of the battlefield.

The Martial Soul Empire was in no better shape, with its army having lost nearly 70% of its strength. Bibi Dong had exhausted all means to recruit a large number of soldiers from within the empire in order to barely maintain the situation, and this was still with the advantage of using combat skills to defend the city.

As for the 40,000 Soul Masters originally sent to the front lines, more than 10,000 were lost.

However, judging from the current situation, both sides have begun to compete on their respective strengths and resources.

Emperor Xueye could be said to have squeezed the strength of the country to the extreme. Even the guards of the Heavenly Dou Palace, the guards of Heavenly Dou City, and the troops maintaining order in various places were all transferred to the front line. Only in this way could they barely maintain an army of more than one million.

However, the Heaven Dou royal family's soul master legion suffered even greater losses. Originally, the royal family had cobbled together about five thousand soul master legions, but now they have lost more than three thousand.

Even the Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy losses. Originally, the Clear Sky Sect had the fewest Soul Masters among the three major sects, and only five hundred people were sent to the front line. After all, the entire Clear Sky Sect only had about a thousand Soul Masters.

However, of the five hundred men, three hundred were lost. This was mainly because the Clear Sky Sect members were relatively brave, and all of them possessed the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, making them all power-attack type Soul Masters.

In addition, the Haotian Sect members had long been holding back their anger and wanted to take revenge on the Martial Soul Empire, which resulted in the Haotian Sect having the highest casualty rate among the three major sects.

However, compared to the brutal battlefield, Bibi Dong and Tang San seemed somewhat excited. Their battles were extremely intense, with Tang San's Dark Blue Silver Grass and Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider King performing exceptionally well on the battlefield.

Especially Tang San, after the Dark Blue Silver Grass devoured a large number of corpses and soul power, Tang San himself actually reached level 97, only one level away from Bibi Dong.

If it weren't for Bibi Dong's advantage in flight thanks to her external soul bone, she might not have been able to gain the upper hand in her battle against Tang San.

Moreover, the murderous aura emanating from Bibi Dong and Tang San grew stronger and stronger, and their evil presence became increasingly formidable.

Tang San wields the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand and the Mantis Leg in his right, with external spirit bones attached. In particular, Tang San's Mantis Leg external spirit bone, after reaping countless lives, has turned from its original dark green color to a deep black, exuding an endless evil aura. Even titled Douluo dare not touch it lightly.

As for Xiao Wu and the others, their performance on the battlefield was relatively average. They did not engage in various battles against Title Douluos as they did in the original work, and so far, there has been no sign of a Title Douluo falling on either side.

Emperor Xueye was also worried about the current situation. If the two sides continued to wear each other down like this, the Tiandou royal family would probably have no power to rule in the future, and the royal family's foundation would probably be exhausted in this war.

It should be noted that compared to its peak, the Heavenly Dou Empire has lost at least one-third of its territory, including the kingdoms and duchies that originally belonged to it, as well as the land of two provinces.

This included the famous Barak Kingdom, known as the granary of the Heaven Dou Empire and of great strategic importance. After the great battle that day, Emperor Xueye still convened a meeting with everyone, hoping that the three major sects would strengthen their support for the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, given the current attitude of the Spirit Empire, it had already listed the three major sects as mortal enemies. Once the Heaven Dou Empire was destroyed, the three major sects would probably also be wiped out by the Spirit Hall.

Having fought to this extent, Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao, and Lin Gong all knew they had no way out, but they were unwilling to give up all the resources of their sects.

Therefore, despite Emperor Xueye's repeated requests, none of the three intended to send any more Soul Masters to the front lines.

Moreover, everyone now knows that the Martial Soul Empire still has two trump cards: Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue. If they were to bet everything, their sect might really be destroyed.

Rather than that, it's better to preserve our foundation. At worst, if we are truly defeated, the sect can simply surrender to the Martial Soul Empire and perhaps even preserve its legacy.

Moreover, the three major sects each have their own backup plans. The Haotian Sect still has the relationship between its ancestor Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Body Sect are closely watching Yang Xiong's current development. Ning Fengzhi and Lin Gong are both aware that Yang Xiong now has the inheritance of a god.

Although Tang San's strength has improved to some extent and he has become more and more frenzied in the battle, he is increasingly eager to obtain the last two spirit rings.

Tang San felt that if he had two more 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, he would definitely be able to reach the true level 99, and then he would be able to truly overpower Bibi Dong and even contend with Qian Daoliu.

Unfortunately, Tang San has neither the time nor the opportunity to obtain the last two spirit rings. If Tang San leaves the battlefield, the entire Heaven Dou Empire's situation may easily collapse.

As for finding a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Tang San followed Xiao Wu around the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time but never found one. Even Xiao Wu didn't know about any 100,000-year-old soul beasts outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, Tang San obtained seven spirit rings in the Star Dou Tournament, and each spirit ring was over 70,000 years old. It can be said that he had killed all the suitable spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San was also well aware that both his father and the Clear Sky Sect had long been locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Spirit Empire, and that his great-grandfather, due to severe injuries, had gone to Seagod Island and was likely only waiting to die.

If he wants to take revenge, he can only rely on himself. He can only rely on himself, and in the end, he will absorb two spirit rings to become stronger.

What Tang San was unaware of was that as the battle continued, his hatred for the Spirit Empire deepened. Whether it was the hatred for killing his mother, the hatred for the Clear Sky Sect, or even the hatred for the Tang Sect, it made him more and more stubborn and extreme.

As the Rakshasa God trial progressed, although neither soul power nor the age of the soul rings increased, the Rakshasa affinity did increase.

With the enhancement of Rakshasa's affinity, Tang San's hatred seems to be leaning more and more towards darkness, even becoming somewhat ruthless.

However, Tang San finally showed his wisdom at this moment. The titled Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire does have certain advantages. Although their soul power level is relatively low, their combat power is very strong.

After Tang San made some arrangements, especially with the help of Bone Douluo, Bone Douluo also entered the battlefield. For this purpose, many experts from the Clear Sky Sect were specially arranged to protect Ning Fengzhi.

The tide of battle turned in that instant.

Bone Douluo is incredibly powerful, especially in defense, which is unparalleled. He and Tang Hao will face Lion Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo.

Although Bone Douluo and Tang Hao's soul power was much lower than that of Lion Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo, Bone Douluo's Bone Dragon Martial Soul had extremely strong flight ability. In addition, with him and Tang Hao cooperating, one attacking and the other defending, they were actually able to block the attacks of Lion Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo.

Tang Xiao was assigned to deal with Golden Crocodile Douluo. Tang Xiao's soul power level was only one level lower than Golden Crocodile Douluo's, and he was able to barely contend with Golden Crocodile Douluo by relying on the power of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul skills.

In this way, Sword Douluo, at level 98, and Tang San, at level 97, can gang up on Bibi Dong.

Although Bibi Dong is incredibly strong, and her Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor is extremely powerful on the battlefield, neither Tang San nor Sword Douluo are as strong as Bibi Dong.

The tide of battle was finally turned. Bibi Dong was seriously injured in the attack from both of them, while Tang San and Sword Douluo pressed their advantage and carried out a large-scale massacre of the Spirit Empire's Soul Master Legion.

The Spirit Empire suffered its worst defeat since the start of the war, with casualties exceeding 100,000, and its Spirit Master Legion was once again severely damaged.

If the Grand Elders hadn't fought with all their might, the Martial Soul Empire would likely have been doomed.

After this battle, the Spirit Empire no longer had the strength to launch another attack and could only cower within Jialing Pass, allowing the Heaven Dou Empire to provoke them.

Unfortunately, Jialing Pass was too high and had a great geographical advantage, while the Soul Master Legion of the Spirit Empire still had the upper hand, and the army of the Heaven Dou Empire was unable to climb the high city walls.
