Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 90 Planning
Dai Tianfeng put down the jade thumb ring in his hand, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Let's sit back and watch the tigers fight!"

"Now that Zhu Zhuyun has just evolved into the Netherworld White Tiger and broken through to the level 68 Soul Emperor, our Star Luo Empire's top priority is to stabilize the internal situation, enhance Zhu Zhuyun's strength, and help her break through to the Soul Saint realm as soon as possible."

"At the same time, we will accelerate the training of the army and the research and development of soul tools to enhance the overall strength of the empire."

"As for the struggle between Xue Ke and the Heaven Dou Empire and Martial Soul City, we will just watch from the sidelines."

"Let them fight each other to the death first, and we can take the opportunity to develop and strengthen ourselves."

"If Wuhun City successfully kills Xue Ke, the Heaven Dou Empire will inevitably become mortal enemies with Wuhun City, and a great war between the two sides will be inevitable. We can take this opportunity to expand our territory and seize resources."

"If the Heaven Dou Empire successfully protects Xue Ke, Wu Hun City will inevitably suffer losses and its strength will be weakened. Then we can take action, clean up the mess, and surpass the Heaven Dou Empire and Wu Hun City to become the overlord of the continent!"

He paused, then said to the commander of the Imperial Guards, "Pass on my orders to closely monitor the movements of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit City, especially Princess Xue Ke's whereabouts and the actions of the Spirit City."

"Have the spies lurking in the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire focus on gathering intelligence in this area, and report any unusual activity immediately."

"At the same time, strengthen the defense of the imperial city and dispatch three Soul Douluo elders to guard it, to prevent the Spirit City or the Heaven Dou Empire from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

"Furthermore, urge Zhu Zhuyun to familiarize herself with the power of the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul as soon as possible, accelerate her cultivation progress, and make sure she breaks through to the Soul Saint realm within six months!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The commander of the Imperial Guards bowed and accepted the order, then turned and quickly left.

Inside the study, Dai Tianfeng gazed out the window, a glint of greed and ambition flashing in his eyes.

"The Heaven Dou Empire, Martial Soul City, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... the winds of change on this continent have only just begun to stir. Ultimate victory will surely belong to our Star Luo Empire!"

Inside the council hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family mansion, Yu Luomian and several elders were discussing Xue Ke's inclusion on the list.

"Princess Xueke's inclusion on the list and the evolution of her martial soul into the Emerald Swan is both an opportunity and a challenge for our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

Yu Luomian sat upright in the main seat and said in a calm tone, "The Heaven Dou Empire has sent an envoy to propose an alliance with us to jointly fight against the Spirit City and the Star Luo Empire."

"If we form an alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire, with Liu Erlong's level 77 Soul Saint strength and Xue Ke's top-notch support abilities, we will be able to deter any enemy, and the prestige of our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan will also rise to a new level."

The Second Elder nodded and said, "The First Elder is absolutely right. Xue Ke's Emerald Swan Martial Soul has extremely strong support capabilities, especially its healing and purification powers, which can make up for the shortcomings of our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's Soul Masters, which have strong attacks but lack defense and endurance."

"With her assistance, Erlong's survival rate and ability to fight continuously on the battlefield will be greatly improved, and the overall combat strength of our family will also be enhanced."

The Third Elder frowned, his tone tinged with worry: "However, the Heavenly Dou Empire's ambitions are not small either."

"Their alliance with us may not be sincere; they may simply want to use us against Wuhun City and the Star Luo Empire."

“Once the crisis is over, the Heaven Dou Empire may turn around and suppress our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After all, the existence of the Three Upper Sects is a potential threat to any empire.” The Fourth Elder also chimed in, “Moreover, Princess Xue Ke is now a thorn in the side of Spirit City, and Bibi Dong will definitely take action against her.”

"If we ally with the Heaven Dou Empire, we will have to take on the responsibility of protecting Xue Ke, which could very likely drag our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into a direct conflict with Spirit City. The risk is too great."

Yu Luomian pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What you all say makes sense. Alliances do have advantages and disadvantages, but overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"The Spirit City is now ambitious and is the common enemy of the entire continent. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Heaven Dou Empire share a common enemy, so forming an alliance is an inevitable choice."

"As for the ambitions of the Heavenly Dou Empire, we can ignore them for the time being."

"As long as we maintain sufficient strength, Liu Erlong's strength continues to improve, and the family's titled Douluo foundation remains intact, the Heaven Dou Empire will not dare to easily attack us."

"Moreover, after forming an alliance, we can also use the resources of the Heavenly Dou Empire to accelerate the cultivation progress of our family members and enhance the overall strength of our family."

"As for the risks of protecting Xue Ke," Yu Luomian's eyes flashed with determination, "we can agree to an alliance, but we must set conditions: the Tian Dou Empire will be responsible for the main security protection of Princess Xue Ke, and our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan will only provide support when necessary."

"At the same time, the Heaven Dou Empire must provide us with sufficient resource compensation, including rare metals, rare medicinal herbs and soul bones, to enhance the strength of our family."

He paused, then said to the elders, "Pass on my order to agree to an alliance with the Heavenly Dou Empire, but send someone to negotiate with the Heavenly Dou Empire's envoy to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, especially the division of responsibilities for resource compensation and security protection."

"In addition, keep a close eye on the movements of Wuhun City. If Wuhun City makes a move against Xue Ke or the Heaven Dou Empire, immediately prepare for battle and support the Heaven Dou Empire, but be careful to preserve your strength and avoid unnecessary losses."

"At the same time, let Liu Erlong get used to his rapidly increasing strength, consolidate his level 77 Soul Saint realm, and focus on cultivating soul skills related to defense and endurance, so as to complement Xue Ke's Emerald Swan support ability."

"In addition, we will send young members of the family to the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire to establish contact with Princess Xue Ke, familiarize themselves with her support methods, and prepare for future joint operations."

"Yes, Elder!" The elders bowed in unison, accepted the order, and turned to leave.

Yu Luomian gazed out the window, thinking to himself: Xue Ke, Liu Erlong, the Heavenly Dou Empire... He hoped that this alliance would bring new opportunities to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, rather than a catastrophe.

Inside the council hall of the Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao sat with several elders, the atmosphere equally solemn.

"Princess Xue Ke has made the list, and her martial soul has evolved into the Emerald Swan. The strength of the Heaven Dou Empire has been enhanced once again. The situation on the continent is becoming more and more complicated."

The Grand Elder stroked his white beard and said in a heavy tone, "The Heaven Dou Empire has sent an envoy to propose the establishment of a four-way alliance to jointly fight against the Spirit City. Should our Clear Sky Sect agree?"

The Second Elder said, "Xue Ke's Emerald Swan Martial Soul is indeed powerful in its support capabilities. With her assistance, the combat strength of our Clear Sky Sect's Soul Masters on the battlefield will also be enhanced."

"Moreover, Wuhun City is our mortal enemy. Bibi Dong killed the sect leader, and we are irreconcilable enemies with Wuhun City."
