Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 247 The Heaven Dou Royal Family's Reaction

P.S. It's all sorted out! My health code is green again! I can go out again!

"Little monster! Little monster!"

Tang San, who had been knocked unconscious by Han Feng, slowly woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Dugu Bo's worried old face. He immediately shook his head in disgust, stood up unsteadily, and asked somewhat confusedly, "Where am I?"

With Dugu Bo's keen eyesight, how could he not see the fleeting expression on Tang San's face? His old face stiffened, and he said resentfully, "How can you be so ungrateful?! If it weren't for me, you'd still be lying on the ground, your life hanging in the balance!"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Tang San recalled what had happened before, his pupils contracted, and he quickly asked in a low voice, "Where are they?!"

"What, them!?" Dugu Bo hadn't even seen Han Feng, so he naturally didn't know what Tang San was talking about. Instead, he retorted irritably, "If you're talking about Qian Renxue, then I should be asking you! You're giving me the wrong directions. You certainly didn't just lie there like a corpse for no reason. Tell me! Where's Qian Renxue!?"

"Qian Renxue?" Tang San raised his head blankly and asked in confusion.

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue, "It's that Spirit Hall Saintess who impersonated the Crown Prince! Her name is Qian Renxue, the biological daughter of the former Spirit Hall Pope!"

"Qian Renxue!" Tang San understood instantly when Dugu Bo said that!

The previous Pope of the Spirit Hall was the most direct culprit who caused Tang San's mother to sacrifice herself. Since Qian Renxue is Qian Xunji's daughter, she is also his sworn enemy!

Although there's a saying that "misfortune should not befall family members," hatred is never so easily resolved!

The thought of letting his enemy's daughter go with his own hands made Tang San clench his fists in regret—if he had known this would happen, Tang San would have thrown out a death warrant without hesitation!

"Speak up!" Dugu Bo frowned and urged Tang San when he suddenly fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Tang San suppressed his regret and said in a deep voice, "I don't know either. Qian Renxue was taken away by a mysterious person. I was knocked unconscious by that mysterious person, and after that, I don't know anything!"

"A mysterious person?" Dugu Bo's brow twitched, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. He asked, "You fought him? Even with your eyes, you couldn't see through him?"

"Yes!" Tang San nodded heavily, somewhat unwillingly admitting, "That mysterious person's methods were very sophisticated; even the Purple Demon Eye couldn't see through his disguise!"

"What's even more terrifying is that that person is most likely also a twin martial soul possessor. He didn't reveal his first martial soul, but his second martial soul is a kind of extreme cold ice. He only has four soul rings, one thousand years old and three ten thousand years old. His strength is at least at the Soul Emperor level, and he seems to possess mental power far exceeding that of a Soul Saint. My Purple Extreme Divine Light had absolutely no effect on him!"

"Hiss!" As soon as Tang San finished speaking, Dugu Bo gasped, muttering in shock, "Another twin martial soul!"

"The Spirit Hall truly produces a wealth of talent..." Dugu Bo squinted his eyes and sighed with emotion.

On the surface, the Spirit Hall already possesses the Golden Generation: Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue are all exceptional talents, destined for titles should they not die young. Now, Qian Renxue and a mysterious figure have emerged...

Angelic martial souls are already terrifying enough, but twin martial souls are even rarer, appearing only once in a hundred years!

Moreover, unlike Tang San, who followed a self-taught path, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall was a master of twin martial souls. Dugu Bo could easily imagine how smoothly the mysterious person Tang San mentioned would cultivate!

Compared to the Spirit Hall, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family are far inferior. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has two peerless Douluo at the top and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has been created. The Heaven Dou Royal Family is in a terrible state, lacking successors. Apart from Dugu Bo, there is not a single person who has the potential to break through to the Title Douluo level!

Finally, a prince with both virtue and talent appeared, but good heavens, he turned out to be an undercover agent sent by the Spirit Hall!

"But...did that mysterious person just knock you out?" Dugu Bo shook his head, trying not to think about those annoying things. He took a deep look at the unharmed Tang San and asked hesitantly.

Tang San nodded and calmly said, "That person probably doesn't want to leave any flaws. Since he's unwilling to reveal his true identity and doesn't want to use his first martial soul, he's probably another undercover agent who can't stand the light of day!"

"I see..." Dugu Bo understood upon hearing this.

In fact, Dugu Bo had already guessed this situation after he learned that the Crown Prince was actually Qian Renxue in disguise.

Since even the crown prince could be replaced without anyone noticing, the Heaven Dou royal family must have been infiltrated by the Spirit Hall long ago, like a funnel. Dugu Bo could easily imagine that there were still many spies left in the Heaven Dou royal family!

As for sending a genius with twin martial souls to infiltrate...

With Qian Renxue as an example, Dugu Bo had no doubt that the Spirit Hall was capable of such a thing!

However, Dugu Bo thought that the reason why the mysterious man did not make a move against Tang San was more likely because he was more afraid of Tang Hao in the shadows!

"You old poisoner! I suggest the royal family conduct a thorough purge, otherwise there will be a second Qian Renxue for every one of them. Putting aside everything else, at the very least, that mysterious person with twin martial souls must be found!" Tang San said angrily.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Those undercover agents can only be dealt with gradually..." To everyone's surprise, Dugu Bo shook his head and rejected Tang San's suggestion.

Tang San looked at Dugu Bo in bewilderment, completely unable to comprehend Dugu Bo's decision.

Dugu Bo could only explain wistfully, "The royal family has to maintain its dignity!"

The fact that the crown prince was switched was already a huge scandal. If the world were to find out that the Heaven Dou royal family had long been infiltrated by the Spirit Hall, the prestige of the Heaven Dou royal family would completely collapse. Not to mention that the common people would question the Heaven Dou royal family and even the entire empire, even the nobles would probably waver and take the initiative to side with the Spirit Hall!

Therefore, Dugu Bo knew without even thinking what the Heaven Dou royal family's attitude would be towards this matter!

It's nothing more than blocking the news, finding some excuse to make Crown Prince Xue Qinghe die in an accident, and then supporting other princes to appease the people.

For the Heaven Dou royal family to be willing to abandon their dignity and conduct a large-scale investigation of spies, the Spirit Hall would have to be weakened!

Tang San was a smart man, and after Dugu Bo said that, he immediately understood what was going on. He could only sigh helplessly. In his previous life, he was just a person in the martial arts world and was powerless to do anything about the affairs of the imperial court.

"What about the other two Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall?" With a sigh, Tang San had no choice but to ask about the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo.

"They got away!" Dugu Bo shrugged and answered casually.

"Huh!?" Tang San stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Although his cultivation level wasn't high enough to discern the exact levels of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, he knew that Sword Douluo was definitely dominating them—how could he have let them escape with Ning Fengzhi's assistance?!

Dugu Bo knew that Tang San didn't believe him, so he explained, "You saw it too. Gu Rong suffered a backlash, and the porcupine and the snake spear used their spirit fusion skill. Chen Xin can't be careless either."

"But that porcupine is utterly despicable!" Mentioning the Porcupine Douluo, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, cursing with disdain and anger, "Originally, Serpent Spear intended to fight Sword Douluo to the death, but that porcupine fellow, seeing the situation was unfavorable, actually deserted. Chen Xin wasn't careful and let him escape!"

"The Serpent Spear was severely injured by Chen Xin, even its foundation for its title was shattered. But the Serpent Spear was also formidable, directly sacrificing its life essence to escape thousands of miles, leaving even Chen Xin helpless!"

"Tsk!" Tang San clicked his tongue after hearing this, and exclaimed, "Indeed, you can't underestimate any Title Douluo!"

Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.

"In that case, old poisoner! Let's part ways here! The Spirit Hall's ambitions are already obvious, I must seize the time to improve my strength!" Tang San's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands to Dugu Bo.

"Don't rush!"

Seeing Tang San about to leave, Dugu Bo quickly grabbed him, mysteriously putting his arm around Tang San's neck and teasingly saying, "You saved His Majesty Xue Ye's life and exposed the Spirit Hall's conspiracy. Your contribution is indispensable, and His Majesty Xue Ye specifically requested a reward for you!"

To be honest, a snowy night could only be a reward for Tang San.

The rest are either titled Douluo or sect masters. If they wanted anything from the Heaven Dou Kingdom's treasury, they would have taken it long ago!

Tang San, however, was somewhat flattered and quickly waved his hand, declining, "But didn't Qian Renxue and the others run away?"

"One thing at a time!" Dugu Bo waved his hand and laughed, "Capturing the Spirit Hall spy wasn't your mission in the first place. You deserve a reward for your service! Don't refuse anymore!"

"This..." Tang San was still somewhat hesitant—Tang Hao was already urging him.

Seeing Tang San still hesitating, Dugu Bo pulled him away, saying, "Stop being so indecisive! It's all free stuff anyway, it won't interfere with your cultivation time! Considering the reward you received for winning the last Soul Master Competition, take it all this time!"
