Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Pattern Staff, Inherited from the Azure Dragon of the East

Chapter 159: The Study of Souls Begins!

It has to be said that there are many wealthy people in the Douluo Continent.

On its first day of operation, it earned a full 10 billion gold coins.

In some ways, it's more valuable than elixirs.

Compared to the slow process of improving strength through elixirs, directly purchasing ready-made high-powered weapons is more cost-effective and faster.

If this wealth weren't backed by absolute power, it would definitely attract envious people who would come knocking and cause trouble, trying to get a share.

At the same time, the news that the Titan of the Power Clan and the Pavilion Master of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion were a Title Douluo with a ninth spirit ring of 100,000 years also spread.

This was something Li Fei had Titan do on purpose.

It is meant to intimidate outsiders.

No one without a titled Douluo dares to attack a force that possesses a titled Douluo.

Even an empire, when it mobilizes a large army, will pay a heavy price.

Moreover, Titan is a melee burst attacker with a 100,000-year soul ring, making his power terrifying.

One punch could kill a whole bunch of people.

Although the Titans may eventually be worn down, the legions will also suffer heavy casualties. This is not a good thing for an empire; it may even lead to its collapse, allowing other empires and forces to take advantage of the situation.

No monarch, unless they are a complete idiot, would do such a thing.

In this world, the only forces capable of directly taking action are those that possess Title Douluo.

Forces such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, the Clear Sky School, and the Spirit Hall.

However, the most likely candidate to make a move is the Spirit Hall.

Especially the Spirit Hall under Bibi Dong's era.

This woman is a madwoman.

The Li family headquarters, the eye of ice and fire.

"Patriarch, Xueye's offer is to become a Guardian Elder of the Heavenly Dou Empire. He can give me anything I want, except for the position of Crown Prince. What do you think?" Titan asked respectfully upon returning from the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion.

It has to be said that Titan was indeed somewhat tempted.

"Agree to him. This is one of the reasons why I had you expose your soul power. By taking down the Heaven Dou Empire's Guardian Elder, the Spirit Hall will be wary of you and won't dare to act recklessly because the Heaven Dou Empire is in power. Your high position will also be of great help to our Li family's future plans."

"Don't forget, our overall plan is to dismantle the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire into countless small countries, including those with relatively large territories."

Upon hearing Titan's words, Li Fei's lips curled into a smile. He knew his plan had succeeded. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke calmly.

With Titans, it will be much easier to legitimately acquire territory in the future.

Not only the Heavenly Dou Empire, but also the Star Luo Empire.

Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po clan, was the person he had placed in preparation to become the guardian elder of the Star Luo Empire.

The position of Protector of the Nation and Elder is, to some extent, able to influence the development of an empire, and is rightfully bestowed by the emperor, thus turning the emperor into a puppet.

Li Fei has very big ambitions.

Although with his current strength and the Li family's power, he could easily overthrow all imperial power and the world.

But doing that is tiring, and most importantly, it gives you very little sense of accomplishment.

The more powerful someone is, the less likely they are to take the initiative, because it's very satisfying to be the one controlling the pieces behind the scenes.

Make others unable to understand you and fear you.

Everything in the world is a game, a chessboard, belonging to Li Fei.

When members of the Li family reach the pinnacle of politics, that will be the time to completely overthrow the existing regimes in this world.

At the same time, he also planned to lure out the titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, take control of them, infiltrate the Spirit Hall, create internal strife, and dismantle the Spirit Hall from both inside and outside.

His moves are all quite vicious.

"I know what to do," Titan nodded.

"Go down." Li Fei nodded. "I will be going into seclusion from now on. If you need anything, just ask my two grandfathers."

"Yes." Titan left.

Li Fei found Gu Yue: "Yue, I need you to do something for me. It's very simple for you to do. Once this is done, the soul beasts will be able to escape the fate of being killed by humans and turned into soul rings."

"I'm willing to do anything to help the soul beasts escape this fate," Gu Yue said excitedly. "Could you tell me about it?"

"Okay, there's something called a soul."

Li Fei quietly told Gu Yue about his knowledge of souls.

Soul spirits can be cultivated using only the blood of soul beasts, and a single soul spirit can provide a soul master with at least three soul rings.

The spirit also has the potential to grow; once it grows, the spirit can continuously provide the spirit master with spirit rings.

The age of a spirit ring will also increase as the spirit master and spirit grow.

"That's great! If this really happens, then humanity will no longer need to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings! But how do we make it happen?"

"Furthermore, there are many human teams that specialize in hunting spirit beasts for a living. What should be done with these people? Some people will definitely be unwilling to accept this, and the appearance of spirit beasts has also cut off many people's livelihoods."

Gu Yue was very happy, but there was also something she was worried about.

"With such a large human population, the death of a few won't make a big difference."

"Those who are obedient will be transferred to other professions. In the future, the Li family's businesses will be spread all over the continent. They can work for the Li family and serve the Li family. Those who are disobedient will enter the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts. If we find them, we will arrange for people to kill these disobedient people. You soul beasts can also be killed directly."

"We must force everyone to adapt to the spirit, and then I will unite all the major powers, such as the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, etc., to promote it."

"With safe and growth-oriented spirit rings available, many people are naturally unwilling to risk spending a lot of time searching for suitable spirit rings."

Li Fei's expression remained calm; to him, human life seemed utterly worthless.

Not to mention outsiders who have nothing to do with him.

"However, this will not stop humans from continuing to hunt soul beasts. The number and variety of our soul beasts, especially the high-age ones, are decreasing. We need a long time to recuperate and rebuild," Gu Yue said.

Li Fei smiled. His solution was simple and straightforward: "This is easy. We'll figure out a way to gather all the land-based soul beasts in one place. Either we can seal the entire Star Dou Great Forest with an array to give you time to rest and recuperate, or we can go out to sea to find a completely new land, or we can separate the entire Star Dou Great Forest into separate areas."

"Let's talk about these things after your soul spirit is cultivated. Before the finished product is ready, it's hard to say anything." Gu Yue shook her head.

"Alright, I'm going into seclusion to do some research. You go back to the Star Dou Great Forest and try your best to find the blood of all the soul beasts for me, including those that are extinct. Find as many as you can, not just land-based soul beasts, but also those from the far north, the sea, and so on. I want them all."

"This is a large project, thank you for your hard work."

Li Fei kissed Gu Yue on the forehead.

Gu Yue felt happy: "Yes, you can go into seclusion without worry. Leave the matter of the soul beast blood to me."

This wasn't really a big problem for her.

It just means you'll have to travel a little more.
