Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 162 The God of Fun, the God of Mischief, and the God of Labor in the Divine Realm

Seeing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger pounce, Tang San jumped to the side, using Ghost Shadow Tracking to dodge the attack with his agile movements.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang San threw the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, which hit the nose of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"roar!"

Although it is a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of three thousand years level with amazing defense, organs such as the nose are still relatively fragile. It was naturally uncomfortable to be hit by the Haotian Hammer.

This was also Tang San's way of drawing attention to him and abandoning his attack on Zhu Zhuqing.

Sure enough, after being hit, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared intently at Tang San, ignoring Zhu Zhuqing who was standing at the edge of the arena.

"He has wisdom, but he is not as good as a human." Tang San used the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique to retrieve the Clear Sky Hammer that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had thrown away, and stared intently at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Swish!

Even though the Purple Demon Eyes clearly saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger still ahead, Tang San sensed the wind and instinctively leaped to the side, then swung the Clear Sky Hammer behind him.

Boom!

A dull thud resounded.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had already arrived at Tang San's original location, and Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer slammed hard into the evil god hook that the tiger was swinging.

However, even with the support of a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, six-year-old Tang San had no spirit rings, his spirit power was only level ten, his strength was no match for the three-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and he was also light in weight, so he was immediately sent flying backward.

However, although his body and soul power had regressed to that of a six-year-old, he had not lost control over his soul power. Tang San quickly adjusted his state and dodged the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's pounce once again, followed by another hammer blow, and then he was knocked away again.

However, as he was knocked away more and more often, Tang San's steps became more and more stable. Each time he landed, he would spin around once or halfway, accumulating power and concentrating it on the Clear Sky Hammer.

This is the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique that Tang San improved upon during his six years of blacksmithing, based on the principle of vibration!

"Amazing!" Yu Tianheng exclaimed. "Is this the power of the Clear Sky Hammer? It can actually hold its own against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. No wonder it is a top-tier martial soul that can be compared with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"No."

Huo Wu, however, had a different opinion: "It's not that the Clear Sky Hammer is powerful, it's that Tang San is powerful. Ask yourselves honestly, if your martial soul were the Clear Sky Hammer, would you have such agile movements and the ability to use an opponent's force against them?"

Yu Tianheng asked, "Is that the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?"

"Not really." Qin Ming shook his head. "Before I joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I went to Gengxin City. The master craftsman Lou Gao there once demonstrated the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to me. Although Tang San's technique also uses the opponent's force against them, it's different from his."

"This is a hammering technique that Third Brother improved after six years of forging iron in the blacksmith's shop. It's not just about using the opponent's force against them; it mainly relies on vibration," Xiao Wu explained simply to everyone. "Each swing, besides using the opponent's force to build up power, also utilizes the recoil force to temper the body..."

The Jade Bone Method also draws inspiration from the method of vibration.

"As expected of a legendary master, he was able to create such a self-created soul skill." Qin Ming didn't know about the Jade Bone Technique, but Tang San's hammer technique, which used vibration, opened his eyes.

but.

This is far from enough.

Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could not capture Tang San, Tang San also found it difficult to harm the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The attacks from the Haotian Hammer were completely ineffective!

really!

The Dark Demon God Tiger realized that Tang San was annoying, and a layer of black lightning gathered around its body.

Tang San's eyes narrowed, and as the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand struck the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger again, he instantly released it to prevent the dark lightning power from entering his body through the Clear Sky Hammer.

A six-year-old's body cannot withstand the invasion of darkness and thunder.

However, since the spirit is part of the body, even though Tang San released the Clear Sky Hammer, a trace of dark lightning power still invaded Tang San's body, causing his hair to stand on end.

Suddenly, his whole body became paralyzed, and he could not move.

"Tang San, are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing ran up to Tang San, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"It's alright, but I was a bit too overconfident." Tang San looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, only to see a black ball of lightning solidified at its tail, which instantly shot towards Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing, who were already powerless to dodge.

"However, I don't want to die yet!"

Tang San bit his tongue hard, using the pain to force himself to wake up, regain control of his body, push Zhu Zhuqing aside, and raise his hand to block the Clear Sky Hammer in front of him.

Noisy!

The Clear Sky Hammer actually blocked the lightning ball of energy the size of a human head, but Tang San was pushed to the edge of the arena.

The edge was an invisible wall, and Tang San couldn't fall down; he could only endure it.

In the arena of life and death, it's either life or death!

"Third Brother!"

"Tang San!"

Amidst the gasps of Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Qin Ming, and the others, the lightning energy ball exploded, its immense energy sweeping across the entire arena. Tang San was completely engulfed by the energy, while Zhu Zhuqing was also thrown over, her scalp ruptured, revealing bright red blood.

When the white light dissipated, Tang San was still standing in the same spot, but his clothes and pants had been blown apart, his body was covered in cracks, and black lightning was shooting out sparks. He looked as if he was about to explode.

At this moment, Tang San's mind was no longer so clear.

Just as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was about to pounce, the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand automatically started moving along with Tang San's arm, striking the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's chin and sending it flying.

"Does Tang San still have that kind of power?" Qin Ming exclaimed in surprise!

"Third Brother."

Xiao Wu and Guang Ling stared intently at Tang San, their eyes welling up with tears.

Zhu Zhuqing got up again and stared in disbelief at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had been knocked away by Tang San.

Tang San slowly stood up, raising the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. It emitted a purple light and made cracking sounds as it split open.

Do not!

It's not cracked!

It's a transformation!

To everyone's astonishment, the Haotian Hammer continued to enlarge and transform, forming a four-headed metal dragon covered in steel-like scales with patterns resembling the Haotian Hammer, its limbs touching the ground.

"What is this?" Ning Rongrong thought the giant dragon transformed from Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer resembled Mu Tian's three-headed fire lizard, but it was much more majestic and handsome. "A weapon spirit? Or a beast spirit?"

However, Qin Ming and the others were unable to explain it at this moment.

Yu Tianheng said, "Some martial souls have the characteristics of both weapon martial souls and beast martial souls. Perhaps Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer is one of them."

As Tang San's disciple, Guang Ling also studied martial souls and speculated, "Perhaps weapon martial souls evolved from beast martial souls, and those martial souls that have the characteristics of both are the transitional stage of evolution."

"But, Third Brother, can he hold on?"

At this moment, she wished she could go up and take that pain for Tang San!

At this moment, two of Jiu Hao's four heads emerged, picked up the half-awake Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing, and placed them on his back. Then, his eight eyes emitted a purple light, and an extremely majestic voice resounded in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's mind: "Who gave you permission to touch my things?"

Pfft!

For the first time, fear appeared in the eyes of the Dark Demon God Tiger, and its massive body seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, collapsing to the ground.

Then--

Click!

The Dark Demon God Tiger was emitting cracking sounds as its bones broke, indicating that it was beyond saving and on its last breath.

At this moment, Tang San recovered thanks to the effect of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, and the purple in Jiu Hao's eyes also faded instantly.

"A great opportunity!" Tang San noticed Jiu Hao turning around and affectionately pressing his cheek against his. He then looked at the dying Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and immediately understood what was happening—he had been saved by Austin Griffin.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Zhu Qing, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's bones are broken and its spirit has been damaged. Go and kill it quickly."

"Um."

Zhu Zhuqing immediately took out a long sword from her storage soul tool, ran to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, stabbed the sword into the tiger's eye socket, and then vigorously stirred its brain.

[The life-or-death competition has ended; Zhu Zhuqing has emerged victorious!]

The Arena of Death is now closed!

As the ethereal voice rang out again, everything around them began to dissipate, and a white light appeared before everyone's eyes.

When everyone opened their eyes again, they were back in the outside world, and their shrunken bodies had returned to normal.

Tang San's injuries and tattered clothes reappeared, as if the previous life-or-death arena was just a dream.

Feeling the immense soul power within his body, Tang San felt it was all so unreal—could a god so easily strip away the soul power that a human soul master had painstakingly cultivated?

Is the evil god one of the god-kings of the divine realm—the god of evil?

"That was a close call!" Yu Feng patted his chest. "I never thought we'd survive. It's all thanks to Tang San."

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Tang San, only to find that he had already been hugged by Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling had also hugged him... It could be said that he was enjoying the blessings of having two wives.

"Alright, don't worry so much, everything's fine, isn't it?" Tang San patted the two of them on the back, signaling them to relax, and then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, go absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's spirit ring. There's probably no spirit beast in the world whose spirit ring is more suitable than this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

"Hmm, thank you." Zhu Zhuqing came back to her senses, the blush on her cheeks vanished in an instant, and she began to adjust her state before starting to draw upon the three-thousand-year soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The moment the spirit ring was attached to Zhu Zhuqing's spirit, she felt unprecedented pressure, as if it were not a three-thousand-year spirit ring, but a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

However, this was ultimately just a thousand-year soul ring. Even though the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was exceptionally gifted and could possess extremely strong spiritual power after a thousand years, it was terrified by Jiu Hao in the arena of life and death, and its spirit had already been shattered.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing did not need to endure the trials of soul tremors.

Even so, it took Zhu Zhuqing almost a day and a night to absorb this spirit ring. It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Zhu Zhuqing had completely absorbed the spirit ring.

Compared to before, Zhu Zhuqing's appearance hasn't changed much, except that her figure is more alluring, her breasts are more voluptuous, and her eyes have turned silver-gray, making her look even more captivating.

Hiss!

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled, her clothes on her back tore, and a pair of black wings and a tiger tail resembling a dark demonic tiger grew out from her waist, totaling nine segments, like crystal.

"External Soul Bones?" Huo Wu herself possessed an external soul bone: the Blazing Sun Feather Robe. Extremely sensitive to external soul bones, she realized that Zhu Zhuqing had obtained the greatest benefit of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. "Two of them!"

"No, there's only one piece. This should be an external spinal bone, and the wings and tiger tail are one piece," Tang San corrected. "Perhaps, it can be called the Dark Demon Bone Armor."

Why choose this name?

Because when this external soul bone was used, a tiger-bone-like armor-like decoration spread from her back to her front, covering Zhu Zhuqing's vital parts.

"Can we talk about this later? How do I retract this external soul bone into my body? Also, will my clothes tear every time I use it?" Although Zhu Zhuqing was delighted to have obtained an external soul bone, it would be too... embarrassing if her clothes had to be torn every time she used it.

"Sorry, it's just my professional habit... Putting away the external soul bone shouldn't be difficult. This is your body part." Tang San stared intently at the Dark Demon Bone Armor, explaining to Zhu Zhuqing how to put away the external soul bone.

Zhu Zhuqing probably hasn't fully refined this soul bone yet, but given the compatibility between the Netherworld Cat and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it's estimated that she can fully refine it and truly make it a part of her body in less than half a year.

After Zhu Zhuqing put away the Dark Demon Bone Armor, she immediately put on a white dress, and the blush on her face disappeared. The other boys consciously turned away and did not peek.

"The third spirit ring must have truly awakened your martial soul, right?" Tang San asked about the changes in Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand, and a black vortex of soul power appeared in her palm, accompanied by a cyan whirlwind and blue lightning. "The dark attribute of the Netherworld Cat has truly awakened. Perhaps it is because of absorbing the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that my martial soul has acquired the elements of wind and lightning. As for space and time, I only have a very vague sense of them, or perhaps I don't have them at all. Maybe I'm just too weak right now."

"My third soul skill is called Dark Demon Netherworld Transformation. After using it, I can increase my strength by more than 230 percent, and all my attributes will be improved."

"Moreover, I feel that this soul skill can be improved as my soul power increases."

After learning about the effects of Zhu Zhuqing's third soul skill, Tang San couldn't help but sigh that the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat were a perfect match.

In the original story, giving the Dark Demon God Tiger to the protagonist was a complete waste, as it only increased his soul power slightly.

"Why don't we give it a try?" Xiao Wu wanted to see what Zhu Zhuqing would look like after using the Dark Demon Netherworld Transformation.

"Let's talk about it another time. I didn't bring many clothes with me, and I can't withstand any more wear and tear." Zhu Zhuqing felt that if she used the Dark Demon Netherworld Transformation, her external soul bone would also emerge, and her clothes would be torn to shreds again—she wasn't an exhibitionist.

"Alright, let's leave this Shadow Forest. Don't tell anyone about what happened here." Qin Ming clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

Their experience in the Shadow Forest was probably the most memorable experience of their lives.

Dark Demon God Tiger, Arena of Life and Death.

Isn't that thrilling?

Of course, even if they told everyone, unless Zhu Zhuqing proved it to the world, not many people would choose to believe them...

···

Spirit world.

Within the vast, dark-toned temple, the evil god sensed that a tiger, having obtained a wisp of his aura, had opened the Arena of Life and Death, and had even been defeated.

If it were just a matter of entering, the God of Evil wouldn't care. After all, the Dark Demon God Tiger wasn't even a pet to him. But this time, it seems like there are more people entering.

So, the bored evil god became interested and recreated the scene to watch and see what really happened.

"Interesting. To possess such strength at such a young age, and that hammer, with its aura of destruction... Could it be that he's the successor to that guy who destroyed everything?"

Austin Griffin represents destruction, but he is still too weak at this time and has the means to conceal his aura, so the God of Evil cannot see him for the time being and can only guess that Tang San is the successor of the God of Destruction.

but--

"Destruction and Life are a pair. If Life doesn't seek a successor, Destruction won't either. Moreover, Destruction is more responsible towards the God Realm, unlike Shura, who always thinks about giving up his godhood to explore the vast universe... Wait, why does Tang San still have such a strong life force on him?"

Sensing the life force emanating from Tang San, Evil even suspected that Tang San might be the illegitimate son of Destruction and Life, who had simply been abandoned on Douluo Star.

"Well, daring to descend to the mortal realm at will, and both of them are law enforcers, knowingly breaking the law!" The evil god chuckled, preparing to find some fun.

As a god-king, he could naturally see that Tang San had no blood relation to destruction or life, but the power of destruction and the power of life coexisted in this child. Wasn't that a coincidence?

Besides, the realm of gods is far too boring...

Therefore, the Divine Realm Committee convened a meeting.

Kindness, Asura, life, and destruction were summoned by evil.

In front of the four God Kings, Evil displayed footage of Tang San and his companions encountering the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, saying, "Destruction, Life, do you have anything to say?"

Destruction: "The power of destruction?"

Life: "The power of life?"

The two exchanged a glance, feigning confusion.

Of the five people present, it was obvious that the child had nothing to do with them. However, life in the divine realm was indeed a bit boring, so they had to play along.

However, both Destruction and Life were indeed curious about Tang San, wondering how he managed to integrate the powers of Destruction and Life into one.

You should know that the couple had always wanted a child, but because the forces of destruction and life were incompatible, they were unable to have offspring.

But now, on a mortal planet in the lower realm, a child has been born who can make the two forces of destruction and life coexist, which is truly incredible.

Could it be that the will of the creator god in the dark noticed the couple's wishes, thus causing them to be born on a mortal planet?

Unconsciously, destruction and life both developed a liking for the twelve-year-old Tang San.

"You two, he's not your child, is he?" the evil god questioned, as if Tang San really were their son.

Destruction, speechless, was about to retort, but Life stopped her, saying, "My two God-Kings, may I ask, if he is truly my and Destruction's son, how will you punish us?"

Now it was Evil's turn to be speechless, thinking to himself: It was just a joke, why take it so seriously?

However, he also understood that Destruction and Life had their eyes on Tang San and had the idea of ​​choosing him as their successor.

"Hey, no need to be so tense, we're colleagues." The evil one decided to do a favor, "Why don't you two go find Tang San and see if he's willing to inherit your divine positions?"

"We want to see if one person can hold two divine positions."

"Anyway, you two are more attached to your home than Shura, so you won't leave the God Realm just because the divine position has been passed on."

Shura: "???"

No, what does this have to do with him?

Was his desire to leave the realm of gods really that obvious?

And do you really think he wants to retire? If you two supreme god-kings hadn't been so lazy, spending all your time thinking about betting and having fun, would he have needed to work so hard?

"That's fine then." The God of Life and the God of Destruction exchanged a glance and agreed with the two god-kings' statement. They also wanted to see if one person could bear two godhoods.

If Tang San can achieve this in the future, then they can ask him for advice on how to make the forces of destruction and life compatible.

At that time, they will also be able to have their own offspring...

···

In the hazy dream, Tang San's consciousness suddenly cleared. Looking at the man and woman in front of him, he was so frightened that he stepped back, almost thinking that he had encountered the unconventional Black and White Impermanence.

"I told you you needed to change your clothes, you scared them." The Goddess of Life gave a reproachful look, then smiled gently at Tang San and said, "Don't be afraid, child. I am the Goddess of Life, and this gentleman beside me is the God of Destruction. We are husband and wife, and are the God-Kings of the God Realm. I wonder if you would be willing to accept our shared inheritance?"

"I don't want to."

After realizing who these two people were, Tang San immediately refused.

Becoming a god?

Although he had initially planned to go to Seagod Island, he now prefers to study martial spirits rather than accept inheritances and achieve instant success.

At least, whatever he researches, no matter how immature, belongs to him. And whatever others give him, no matter how powerful, belongs to them. His experience in the life-or-death arena made him realize that he needs to thoroughly understand the essence of power, otherwise the ultimate authority will always be in the hands of others. Therefore, he wants to take it one step at a time.

Moreover, the fact that two gods suddenly came to him, both wanting to transfer their divine positions, seemed like a trap.

"Why?" Destruction asked. "Don't you know the power of the gods?"

"I'm just a twelve-year-old child, should I know about the power of gods?" Tang San retorted.

Destruction: "...Really? You don't seem like a twelve-year-old to me."

Tang San sighed, "I have to thank my father who severed ties with me. It was because of his irresponsibility that I was able to become independent."

"A humorous yet pitiful child." The Goddess of Life looked at her with pity and asked, "Are you really unwilling to accept our inheritance? That is the goal of all cultivators."

"I prefer an equal exchange. Since you are gods, why would you pass your position to me?" Tang San countered. "Isn't enjoying eternal life good? Or is eternal life a form of suffering for you?"

"Why do you think our immortality is suffering?" the goddess of life asked, puzzled.

"The issue of needs is like that of ordinary people, who are divided into different classes. The poor only seek to have enough to eat and wear, to reproduce, and to hope that the next generation can live a better life. They mostly pursue material satisfaction. The wealthy, on the other hand, hope to obtain other forms of enjoyment, rights, desires, and to be respected and praised. In short, they tend to focus on spiritual aspects."

Tang San said calmly, "As for God, judging from the way you are talking to me now, you should not lack material things, but you seem to be extremely backward in terms of spiritual matters."

"You and humans look no different, except that mortals are fleeting, living only a hundred years, a lifetime is over, while you gods are immortal, have seen all the things in the world, and are probably tired of them, so you find them boring."

Goddess of Life: "..." What is he saying? I can't understand a word he said.

God of Destruction: "..." I understood somewhat. He was very clever, but he overestimated us because we basically ignored the changes in the mortal world, and there was a time difference between the divine realm and the mortal world.

"Alright, since you're unwilling, we won't force you. However, with your talent, you'll become a god sooner or later, and we'll meet again then." After saying this, Destruction disappeared.

"I apologize for disturbing your rest." The Goddess of Life was much more polite, apologizing to Tang San before her figure slowly dissipated...

···

"He disagrees?" the evil asked.

"I disagree." The God of Destruction nodded.

"That's strange. Given your personality, aren't you going to punish me?"

Destructive personalities tend to be irritable. Shouldn't one fly into a rage if rejected by someone they like?

Destruction's face darkened, and he said, "As a god-king and enforcer of the law, how can I stoop to the level of a mortal?"

Life itself echoes: "That's against the rules."

"Alright, meeting adjourned." With that, the evil god's voice faded, and he transformed into a streak of black light, departing from the Divine Realm Committee.

The truth is:

On a whim,

It was just a passing fancy.

The other god-kings also departed.

"Asura".

Destruction called out to the Asura God.

"What is it?" Shura frowned. His relationship with Destruction wasn't good, and they didn't usually interact. Why was he suddenly calling him over?

"Do you really want to leave the realm of gods?" Destruction asked.

"That's right, I want to leave the God Realm and embark on adventures in the vast universe." The God of Asura made his point clear. "This God Realm is too boring. I've been doing this for so many years, and I'm getting bored too. And those two Supreme God Kings, they don't do anything serious all day, just betting and having fun. Aren't you tired of it?"

After saying this, without waiting for Destruction's reply, Shura left because a god-level power had appeared on a certain mortal planet, and he wanted to send the God of Slaughter to investigate.

Which killer should I choose?

Hypnos, that kid is the most obedient. Let him fly there, without going through the spatial tunnel.

This way, I can also take a few more days off for myself...

···

Opening his eyes, Tang San awoke from his nap, recalling the memories of witnessing life and destruction, and wondered to himself, "Has my behavior already caught the attention of the gods in the divine realm?"

Destruction and life—both god-kings are choosing themselves?

What is it about me that attracts them?

Blue Silver Emperor, life...

The Clear Sky Hammer, harboring Austin Griffin, destroys...

Tang San hadn't noticed it before, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that the problem is that he's not being noticed.

"No wonder... But I refused. Those two shouldn't be that petty, right?"

After a long period of anxiety, Tang San calmed down and decided to stop thinking about it.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.

If those two guys dare to scheme against him, he'll definitely get his revenge once he grows up.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half has passed.

Led by Qin Ming, Tang San and the others finally arrived at Star Luo City.

Compared to Tiandou City, the city walls here are also over a hundred meters high, and the three characters "Xingluo City" are made of platinum, making it extremely luxurious.

The architectural style in Xingluo City is quite different from that in Tiandou City. There are no stalls on the roadside; if you want to buy something, you have to go into the shops on both sides.

The people of Xingluo are known for their rough and boisterous nature, and they often fight over trivial matters. To reduce disputes, officials of the Xingluo Empire have decreed that merchants in major cities must place their goods in shops and cannot display them arbitrarily on the sides of the street.

Ultimately, it's all for the sake of better management.

However, this is only the case in large cities like Xingluo City; in other small cities and towns, ordinary people still set up stalls on the roadside.

"Welcome, outstanding student of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy! Please follow me!"

After walking a short distance from the city gate, three faculty members and over fifty students from the Star Luo Royal Academy approached the carriage, smiling and holding bouquets of flowers: "Please follow us!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Qin Ming continued driving, while Tang San and the others in the car pulled back the curtains and looked out.

The students of Xingluo Royal Academy wore white school uniforms, each with an armband on their shoulder embroidered with the character "王" (King).

Qin Ming explained, "This 'King' title is not something every student who joins the Star Luo Royal Academy can possess. One must reach the Soul Master level or above to have it. It represents the prestige of the Star Luo Royal Academy."

"ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh!"

At this point, Qin Ming sighed and said, "Compared to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, which relies on people like you to maintain its prestige, the Star Luo Royal Academy is truly powerful. The average strength of its students is quite good. These fifty students are all young, no more than twenty years old, and they are all geniuses."

Tang San understood that Qin Ming's words were true.

Excluding those with exceptionally talented cultivation abilities, such as this group of people who are qualified to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, anyone else who can become a Soul Master around the age of twenty is already considered extremely outstanding.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the Royal Academy of the Star Luo Empire.

Compared to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, which is built against the mountain, the Star Luo Royal Academy is located on the banks of a wide river, with a waterfall more than 50 meters high not far away.

According to the teachers of Xingluo Royal Academy, the waterfall is formed by an underground river that flows through Xingluo Royal Academy, envelops most of the palace, and then flows out of Xingluo City to join the rivers outside.

Such a design is indeed spectacular, but it is also too crude.

However, this is the style of the Star Luo Empire—

"Unconventional".

However, geographically speaking, the Star Luo Empire does not have the distinct four seasons of the Tian Dou region; it only has a dry season and a rainy season.

The fact that Xingluo City was built around this large waterfall and river is also a relevant consideration.

Water can be drawn during the dry season and stored during the rainy season.

At this time, many students from the Star Luo Empire were only wearing underwear and playing in the river, or playing a game similar to volleyball on the sandy beach on the riverbank.

"Are all the students from the Silla Empire so... wild and open?" Huo Wu was also here for the first time, and seeing the men and women of the Silla Empire playing on the beach wearing only underwear was really a bit of an eyesore.

She thought that wearing short sleeves and a short skirt was already quite revealing.

Compared to the people here, it's like wearing a cotton-padded coat!

"That's the boldness of the people of Xingluo," Qin Ming explained. "They're not concerned with formalities. If a man and a woman are attracted to each other, they can get close. If they feel it's not right, they break up... Currently, the atmosphere in the Tiandou Empire is actually quite similar to here, but most people are still more conservative and sincere about their feelings. If a man and a woman break up and then meet again, they will generally feel awkward. But most people in the Xingluo Empire won't feel that way, and they might even reconcile."

Zhu Zhuqing corrected, "I'm different."

Qin Ming nodded: "Indeed, large families are quite strict. After all, martial spirits rely on bloodline inheritance and cannot be handled too recklessly. Moreover, they need to take contraceptive measures, otherwise the martial spirit will be lost."

At this moment, three members of the Star Luo Royal Academy came forward to personally receive Qin Ming and the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team One, and showed them around the dormitory.

They came here for an exchange, not just to have a fight and then go back. Tang San and the others will be living here for at least half a year.

However, on the first day, Tang San and his group met the Star Luo Royal Academy team.

Captain Davis, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 43.

Vice Captain Zhu Zhuyun, Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat, Level 41.

Ying Wei, Martial Soul: Water Buffalo, Level 37.

Tang Hongning, Martial Soul: Thunder Leopard, Level 36.

Li Yang, Martial Soul: Mirror of Reflection, Level 36.

Dong Hui, Martial Soul: Water, Level 35.

Yang Mingxin, Martial Soul: Water, Level 35.

It is foreseeable that in two years, all the members of the Star Luo Royal Team will at least reach the Soul Master level or above, especially Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, who will most likely become Soul Kings.

In the original work, Davis appeared at level 49, just one step away from becoming a Soul King. If Dai Mubai hadn't consumed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which strengthened his physique and increased his soul power, he would have been no match for him.

"Everyone from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, please follow me. I will take you to have a meal. Your leader, Mr. Qin Ming, will be with the members of the Education Committee."

Davis looks about 70% like Dai Mubai, but his appearance is completely different from Dai Mubai's.

If Dai Mubai is a playboy with a nouveau riche air, then Davis is a true nobleman. Although he has a kingly air about him, he is not off-putting.

It is foreseeable that after Davis succeeds to the throne, the Star Luo Empire will inevitably be able to unify the continent after the Spirit Hall falls.

Unfortunately, in the original story, his fate was somewhat cruel...

Upon arriving at the large private room that had been prepared in advance in the Royal Academy's dining hall, Davis arranged for Tang San and the others to be seated and ordered the dishes to be served.

However, Davis noticed that the person sitting in the captain's seat was not Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, but Tang San, who looked very young. He wondered, "I wonder if this is the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team?"

"Hello, my name is Tang San." Tang San introduced himself, "I was elected captain because of the support of the team members."

"Tang San? That name is quite famous." Davis was taken aback at first, then laughed heartily, shook hands with Tang San, and wondered in his heart whether this Tang San was the same Tang San as before.

After the two were seated, Zhu Zhuyun noticed her younger sister mixed in with the Heavenly Dou Royal Team and asked, "Zhuqing, my dear sister, won't you greet your older sister?"

"Sister," Zhu Zhuqing called out, then fell silent, unsure of how to treat this older sister.

"Heh, everyone from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, please excuse my rudeness. My younger sister ran away a few days ago. I thought she went to find her fiancé, but I didn't expect her to come with you all. Thank you so much for taking care of her." Compared to the aloof Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun spoke much more charmingly and could be described as poised and graceful.

At the very least, given Zhu Zhuqing's personality, she is absolutely unsuitable to be an empress.

Davis also inquired about Zhu Zhuqing, asking with his characteristic humor, "Has my sister-in-law joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"No," Tang San said. "We met her on our way here. Coincidentally, one of our team members needed a spirit ring, so we hunted spirit beasts together... She's very competitive and has good talent, so we took her along."

Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Huo Wu, and the others tacitly avoided mentioning Shrek Academy.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing had spent a month and a half with them and they had gotten to know each other. They understood that this girl was very strong-willed and had a good personality, but she didn't like to talk much... She would only say a few words when Tang San asked her questions.

Having learned about the brutal competition within the Star Luo Empire, they naturally hoped that Zhu Zhuqing could break free from Dai Mubai's influence.

"Sister, can we go outside and chat for a while?" Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, staring at Zhu Zhuyun, her tone serene.

"Of course, after all, I'm your good older sister." Zhu Zhuyun nodded to Davis, got up, and walked to the balcony of the private room.

Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind and closed the door to block out the noise.

"What is it?" Zhu Zhuyun's smile vanished instantly, her tone revealing indifference.

"Your attitude now is completely different from before." Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat relieved that she had figured things out—she absolutely did not want to become a woman with two faces like her sister.

Zhu Zhuyun was surprised, feeling that her younger sister's personality had changed a bit. At the dinner table, her gaze had shifted to Tang San several times. Could this be Zhu Zhuqing's way of rebelling?

Why not be with Dai Mubai?

That certainly surprised her...

"The spiritual connection between me and Dai Mubai has disappeared. Is it possible to dissolve our engagement?" Zhu Zhuqing brought up the important matter.

"Disappeared? Why?"

Zhu Zhuyun wouldn't completely believe it.

"My third spirit ring comes from a spirit beast called the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which has dark attributes and awakened the dark power of my Netherworld Cat." Zhu Zhuqing's martial spirit was attached, a pair of cat ears grew on her head, claws appeared on her hands, and a nine-section cat tail like black crystal appeared behind her, but it did not have the Evil God Hook in the Dark Demon Bone Armor state.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing at this moment, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but tremble.

That's the pressure of a superior martial spirit!

Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul awakened the power of darkness, and her bloodline power surpassed that of ordinary Netherworld Cats; even the White Tiger martial soul did not possess such oppressive power.

"Now I believe you." Zhu Zhuyun told Zhu Zhuqing to put away her martial soul, and a sincere smile appeared on her face. "Since you and that good-for-nothing Dai Mubai no longer have a martial soul connection, then breaking off the engagement is not out of the question..."

The rules of the divine realm are set by the god-kings, not by world rules. Therefore, if they want to descend to the mortal realm, they only need to find a suitable reason. As long as they are strong enough, the other gods will turn a blind eye.
