Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 188 Shui Binger

During this period, as a large number of taints were successfully removed, the landscape of the Soul Master world underwent significant changes.

Some previously unknown Soul Masters have made rapid progress in their strength by obtaining rare treasures from the Filthy Points, and some new Title Douluo have even been born as a result, completely changing their own fate and the distribution of power in the Soul Master world.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a typical example. They were fortunate enough to obtain several soul tools after successfully cleaning up some impurities.

The acquisition of these soul tools significantly enhanced the overall strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Having tasted the benefits, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School deeply understands the importance of soul tools for the development of the sect, and therefore actively invests in the research of soul tools.

However, the research field of soul tools is profound and complex, and it is very difficult to get started. Despite their efforts, they have not made any significant progress in this area so far.

However, judging from the situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they will definitely not give up easily.

After all, they knew in their hearts that they couldn't always rely on removing taint to obtain soul tools.

On the one hand, the appearance of tainted spots is completely unpredictable and can only be encountered by chance; on the other hand, tainted spots do not guarantee that a soul tool will be found, and other types of treasures may also appear.

Although these treasures are equally precious, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School believes that soul tools are more suitable for their sect's characteristics of focusing on support-type soul masters, and can maximize the sect's combat power. Therefore, research on soul tools is imperative.

The capital city of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, was bustling with activity during this period.

The preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, held every five years, will soon be held here in the Heaven Dou Empire region.

This grandest event in the world of Soul Masters has attracted attention far beyond the Soul Master community.

From the high-ranking royal family and nobles to ordinary citizens, every resident of Tiandou City regards this competition as the grandest festival of the year, eagerly awaiting its start.

The venue for the Soul Master Competition is the largest Soul Arena in the Heaven Dou Empire—the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena.

This magnificent building boasts an astonishing capacity, capable of accommodating up to 80,000 spectators, transforming it into a sea of ​​passion and excitement.

Meanwhile, advanced soul master academies from all corners of the Heaven Dou Empire embarked on their journeys, heading towards Heaven Dou City one after another to prepare for the upcoming Soul Master Tournament preliminary rounds.

Although there is still a full month before the competition officially begins, many Soul Master academies have chosen to arrive in Heaven Dou City early in order to better adapt to the environment and adjust their condition.

Tianshui Academy, one of the five renowned elemental academies of the Tiandou Empire, has a dean who is a powerful Soul Douluo-level expert.

Although such strength may not be considered top-tier on the Douluo Continent, it is enough to make Tianshui Academy renowned and attract much attention.

At this moment, the Tianshui Academy team had already set off from Tianshui City a month in advance, and after a long journey, they finally arrived at the territory of Tiandou City.

"Sis, look what's that?"

Among the Tianshui Academy team, a delicate-looking, lively and playful blue-haired girl suddenly pointed her finger at a distant mountain range with a look of surprise.

The one who was called was also a blue-haired girl with an unparalleled beauty, none other than Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Tianshui team.

The playful girl who just exclaimed in surprise was her half-sister, Shuiyue'er.

Not only Shui Bing'er, but the other members of Tianshui Academy also turned their gazes in the direction Shui Yue'er was pointing.

"What is this...?" In the distance, wisps of black mist were slowly emanating from a small mountain range.

With their superhuman eyesight, the Soul Masters could clearly see that the black mist was slowly spreading outwards.

Wherever it went, the once lush trees withered and died instantly, and the vibrant land quickly became dry and barren, as if all its vitality had been drained.

Meanwhile, the surrounding animals and birds seemed to sense some kind of deadly threat and were frantically fleeing in panic, away from the terrifying area shrouded in black mist.

"It's a tainted area! This place isn't far from Heaven Dou City, so why wasn't it discovered and cleared before? Could it be a newly formed tainted area?"

The teacher leading the team from Tianshui College was none other than Shui Ming'er, the college's director of teaching.

She is also the aunt of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. Her own strength has reached level 76, and she is a control-type Soul Saint. She holds a pivotal position in Tianshui Academy.

"We're really lucky. It's a newly formed tainted spot, so the monsters that are born inside shouldn't be too strong. Judging from the size, the strongest one is probably only at the Soul Emperor level."

Shui Ming'er, a beautiful woman who also had long blue hair and looked to be no more than twenty years old, revealed an undisguised joy in her eyes.

After all, cleaning up filth spots often yields extremely rich benefits, and this is a newly formed filth spot, which is relatively low in danger. With her strength, she can handle it with ease.

Shui Ming'er subconsciously glanced back at Shui Bing'er. As the most talented student in the history of Tianshui Academy, the academy placed extremely high expectations on Shui Bing'er.

Most of the benefits gained from cleaning up the filth were used on Shui Bing'er first.

It is precisely because of this that Shui Bing'er's current soul power cultivation has reached level 49, and she is only one step away from breaking through to become a Soul King.

If Shui Bing'er can obtain a treasure that can enhance her soul power cultivation from this filthy spot, she is very likely to break through her bottleneck and advance to Soul King before the Soul Master Competition officially begins.

Once Shui Bing'er breaks through to the Soul King realm, with her top-tier beast spirit Ice Phoenix, Tianshui Academy will have little chance of defeating her in this Soul Master Competition, except for the Spirit Hall with its profound strength.

Of course, Shui Ming'er also knew that Tianshui Academy was not the only one that could benefit from cleaning up the filth.

Other academies may also use the tainted points to obtain precious treasures that can help students improve their cultivation.

In particular, the Spirit Hall, as the most powerful organization on the Douluo Continent, has unparalleled control over the situation on the continent, and has a large number of spirit masters under its command, spread all over the continent.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, almost every city has a branch of the Spirit Hall. This extensive distribution of power has created an incredibly powerful intelligence system.

In such situations, the Spirit Hall is often the first to discover the corruption and clean it up as quickly as possible, thus reaping the greatest benefits.

Therefore, even if Shui Bing'er successfully breaks through to become a Soul King, Shui Ming'er does not expect Tianshui Academy to win the championship in this competition. She only hopes that the academy's performance can surpass that of the other major elemental academies.

Although the five elemental academies were originally closely connected, in recent years, Elephant Armor Academy and Thunder Academy have gradually diverged from the alliance and broken away from it.

This is mainly because Elephant Armor Academy is backed by Elephant Armor Sect, while Thunder Academy is backed by Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. In comparison, only Skywater Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Divine Wind Academy do not have the support of a powerful sect and are merely pure academies.

As a result, the relationship between the three academies, Tianshui, Chihuo, and Shenfeng, became increasingly close, while a rift developed between them and the Xiangjia and Leiting academies.

Of course, while the relationship may be close, for Tianshui Academy, it would be a good thing to be able to outmaneuver its allies in terms of strength, thus gaining the upper hand within the alliance.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Shui Ming'er made a decisive decision and immediately led the team to change their route and head towards the filthy spot in the distance.

With her powerful Soul Saint level strength, she felt fearless.

Even if they ultimately cannot completely eradicate this filth, they will be more than capable of leading the team to safety.

Soul Masters move extremely fast. Among the group from Tianshui Academy, even the weakest one has reached the Soul Master level, and each of them is quite fast.

Before long, they arrived at the outer edge of the filth spot.

"Let's finish this quickly! We're not far from Tiandou City, and we'll probably be discovered by others soon. Bing'er, you take command of the troops," Shui Ming'er decisively ordered.

“Okay, everyone, stick close to me.” Shui Bing’er nodded steadily.

Although she was relatively young in the Tianshui Academy team, only one month older than the youngest member, Shuiyue'er, and all the other members were older than her, no one looked down on her because of that.

Conversely, the other members obeyed her orders without question.

Although the filth spots hadn't been there for long, Shui Bing'er and the others had cleaned them up before, along with the strong members of the academy.

They knew very well that a large number of strangely shaped monsters would be born inside the filth.

These monsters have no intelligence whatsoever; they are purely killing machines with extremely strong combat capabilities.

Once these monsters are killed, their corpses will dissipate, leaving behind all sorts of treasures.

To completely eliminate this filth, it is necessary to successfully kill the core monster within, which is also the most powerful being in the filth.

Shui Bing'er and the others' main task was to clear out the smaller monsters, buying enough time and space for Shui Ming'er to kill the core monster.

After all, only the treasures dropped by core monsters are the most precious and rare.

Soon, Shui Bing'er and the others stepped into that dark and filthy place. Instantly, a nauseating and uncomfortable feeling washed over them like a tidal wave.

This is the terrifying aspect of the tainted spot: anyone who steps into it is constantly eroded by negative energy, and various negative emotions flood their mind.

Once affected by negative emotions, Soul Masters become irritable and easily angered; in severe cases, they may even lose their rationality and turn on their teammates.
