Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 157 Shrek's Preparations (Please Subscribe!!!)

Su Yu's spiritual power underwent a qualitative change, breaking through to a realm with both tangible and tangible qualities.

Faintly, Su Yu could sense that some kind of ability was lurking deep within his spiritual power.

Deep within the Demon Forest.

Kong Deming released his soul power, and his materialized spiritual power collided with the Evil Emperor's spiritual power.

Xuan Ziwen's face was pale and ashen, clearly injured by the sudden mental shock. Fortunately, he had absorbed the Sacred Soul Grass and was also nourished by the soul ring of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant, which transformed his spiritual power to the point of being tangible yet intangible. With Kong Deming's timely protection, he was not seriously injured.

Even if his mental strength didn't break through, he wouldn't die; at most, he would fall into a coma and need to recuperate for a period of time. After all, Xuan Ziwen's mental strength had already reached its peak before materialization, but because there was no stimulation or opportunity, he hadn't broken through.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of his martial soul and the numerous times he had fainted from researching soul tools, he also developed this resistance.

At this point, he's only pale, which is already quite good.

"Human, you're courting death!"

The Evil Emperor sensed the aura of his recently deceased clansman on Xuan Ziwen's body; the vivid blood-red soul ring belonged to his clansman!

Moreover, he sensed the presence of two kindred spirits in Kong Deming.

"Evil Emperor, are you really going to fight me to the death?!"

Kong Deming snorted coldly, his spiritual power bursting forth, and the phantom images of the sun and moon appeared behind him, giving a faint sense of merging into one.

At the same time, rays of light emanated from all parts of his body.

The super battle armor instantly completed its fusion, and the battle armor domain expanded. The sun and moon phantoms behind him seemed to have merged with the battle armor domain.

In the realm of battle armor, the sun and moon shine together.

This is the Battle Armor Domain that Kong Deming developed entirely to assist his Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

This made his already achieved Martial Soul Fusion even more harmonious, resulting in even greater power.

The realm where the sun and moon shine together also maximizes the power of the Qiluo Tulip.

With the Super Battle Armor Fusion, the Battle Armor Domain and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill were combined, along with the Spirit Domain, allowing Kong Deming to reach his peak state.

He showed everything except the soul tool.

The Evil Emperor sensed a deadly threat.

"Um?"

At this moment, the Evil Emperor sensed Su Yu's presence.

"snort!"

Kong Deming sensed the fluctuations in the Evil Emperor's spiritual power, and his expression changed slightly.

However, he did not immediately step in to shield Su Yu from the attack from a distance.

How could the Evil Emperor allow Su Yu to break through by using his mental attack? He unleashed his power just before Su Yu was about to undergo a qualitative change.

Kong Deming also unleashed his spiritual power, negating nearly half of the initial burst. Sensing the even more concentrated and powerful spiritual power, Kong Deming nodded with satisfaction.

The Evil Emperor's anger was indeed reignited.

"Human, you're asking for death!"

The enormous, abyss-like eye unleashed a terrifying mental storm.

Kong Deming's expression also changed slightly.

"Evil Emperor, are you really going to fight to the death?"

"The fish may die, but the net may not necessarily break!"

"Hmm?" Kong Deming heard the Evil Emperor's arrogant words. The illusory images of the sun and moon behind him instantly merged, and at the same time, thirty-six long staffs surrounded him. The super battle armor's heart-protecting mirror radiated the light of the sun and moon.

Kong Deming incorporated the Sun and Moon Divine Light Shield into the Super Battle Armor.

Although he has not yet successfully created the level 10 Sun and Moon Divine Light Shield, he has already completed the creation of the level 9 Sun and Moon Divine Light Shield. Combined with the Sun and Moon Shining Domain of the Battle Armor and the Sun and Moon Shining Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the power it unleashes will be absolutely terrifying.

The Evil Emperor's spiritual energy fluctuations subsided, and his cold voice warned Kong Deming.

"Within a hundred years, for every human who enters the Demon Forest, I will kill him! And if any of my descendants die, I will personally go to your human capital, Mingdu."

"What the Evil Emperor says is certainly true." Kong Deming breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly pulled Xuan Ziwen away from the Demon Forest.

Deep within the Demon Forest, a gigantic black eye hovered, staring intently in the direction Kong Deming had departed. Around it were eighty-one terrifying tentacles, each over five hundred meters long, and fluctuations of spiritual energy continuously emanated from the depths of the eye.

"Has humanity's power grown to this extent?"

Just now, the Evil Emperor felt a deadly threat from Kong Deming, a threat he had only felt before during his battle with Di Tian.

"Do not go out alone for the next thousand years." The Evil Eye Tyrant, which had just broken through 100,000 years of age, heard the Evil Emperor's reminder and waved its tentacles, seemingly expressing its dissatisfaction, or perhaps indicating that it would obey orders.

The Evil Emperor can lead both the Demon Forest and humanity to mutual destruction.

However, the price could be the extinction of the Evil Eye clan, from its former glory to its annihilation.

This is something he cannot accept.

Unlike the Star Dou Great Forest, the main force of the beast tide in the Demon Forest was his Evil Eye Clan. How could he not feel sorry for them?

Moreover, to be honest, the Evil Eye Clan's foundation in Douluo Continent is too shallow. Once this branch is wiped out, there may truly be no more Evil Eye Clan.

But the dragons are different.

At the same time, and most importantly, humans have gods backing them up, while soul beasts do not.

After developing for a full ten thousand years, the highest level of human soul masters has only stagnated and made almost no progress. Before Kong Deming appeared, both the Evil Emperor and Emperor Tian dared to confidently say that they could defeat or even kill the strongest human.

However, for thousands of years, humans have been hunting soul beasts even more extensively, and neither Emperor Tian nor the Evil Emperor has ever truly retaliated.

Di Tian did indeed unleash several beast tides, but these were more like warnings.

Unlike human Soul Masters who doubt the existence of gods online even after reaching the Limit Douluo level, without real historical records of Tang San becoming a god, they might even think that the Limit Douluo level is the end.

Soul beasts are different. The higher their cultivation level, the more they firmly believe in the existence of gods. However, soul beasts are too tragic. They are imprisoned, and there is a kind of shackle that firmly binds all soul beasts.

Su Yu closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his mental energy.

It was a feeling of complete unity.

By projecting one's spiritual power outwards and enveloping a certain area, one can construct a pseudo-domain, which is completely indistinguishable from a real domain except for lacking unique abilities.

"Unexpectedly, this misfortune has turned into a blessing in disguise for you, allowing your mental strength to break through."

Kong Deming looked at his apprentice with a mixture of satisfaction and envy.

Back then, he had already been stuck at level 94 for decades before he broke through to this level of mental strength.

Both the tangible without substance and the tangible with substance seem to be processes in which spiritual power gradually materializes within the Spirit Realm, but without the right opportunity, it is very difficult to truly cross these boundaries.

Human Soul Masters still have too little research on spiritual power.

The emergence of mental energy detectors, battle armor, and soul spirit systems may drive development in this area.

As spiritual power becomes a requirement for Soul Masters' cultivation, research in this area will naturally accelerate.

"Teacher, we are so grateful to you for withstanding part of the Evil Emperor's mental attack this time."

Su Yu also felt the help from his teacher back then.

He turned to look at the Sacred Soul Grass seed that he had just revitalized.

Spirituality is shattered, and life is fading.

He was about to die.

"God willing."

Su Yu wrapped the dead seed with extreme vitality and put it into his storage soul tool.

"Teacher, have you clashed with the Evil Emperor?"

Kong Deming frowned deeply, sighed, and said, "Alas, to be honest, the hunting of the Evil Eye Clan has indeed become quite serious recently. The Evil Emperor is probably on the verge of exploding, but he's forcibly holding back."

He also sensed the process of the Evil Emperor enduring, and if he continued to provoke him, the Evil Emperor would probably go berserk.

The Sun Moon Empire has an astonishing reserve of soul tools, including a large number of level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, but that requires skilled personnel.

The Evil Emperor's wide-ranging mental attack would instantly kill any Soul Master below the Soul Saint level.

This was still the result of Kong Deming taking immediate and complete protective measures.

If Kong Deming hadn't discovered it in time and used his own mental power to counteract the Evil Emperor's mental attack the instant it erupted, any Soul Master below the Title Douluo level would have died, and even Soul Masters other than those at the ninth level would have been killed.

This is the terror of the Evil Emperor.

There's a reason why the Evil Eye Clan has been able to thrive until now.

"In the next hundred years, it will be much more difficult to hunt soul beasts in the Demon Forest."

Kong Deming never considered completely ceasing to hunt soul beasts in the Demon Forest; he simply meant he would stop hunting the soul beasts of the Evil Eye Clan.

"Hunting the Evil Eye is practically impossible now."

Pity.

The Soul Ring of the Evil Eye Tyrant is quite suitable for Huo Yuhao.

Kong Deming had also met Huo Yuhao and knew about his talent.

"Teacher, we are still on the rise, and there is still a long road ahead. Sooner or later we will be able to widen the gap with the Evil Emperor, and then we won't need to worry about these things."

Su Yu wasn't worried.

There's probably no need to worry about Huo Yuhao's spirit rings.

Su Yu couldn't believe Huo Yuhao wasn't tempted by the 800,000-year-old Evil Emperor Soul Ring. If his own martial soul weren't unsuitable, Su Yu would have wanted the Soul Ring too.

Shrek Academy.

Sea God Pavilion.

"Shao Zhe, the participants for this Soul Battle Tournament need to be decided as soon as possible." Xuan Zi said with a serious expression, showing how much importance he attached to this Soul Battle Tournament.

The blame for the previous defeat in the competition rested entirely on Xuanzi. It wasn't a problem with the academy's teaching level, but rather Xuanzi's mistake that led to the team's heavy losses.

But the next competition was different.

There can be absolutely no mistakes.

Rise from defeat, and Shrek's glory will shine even brighter!

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan. Since the last Soul Battle Tournament, we have been increasing our efforts to cultivate promising players," Yan Shaozhe said with a wry smile.

Compared to previous years, the overall quality of this year's Shrek Academy students is much higher, which is the result of the academy investing a lot of resources.

At the treasure appraisal event, rare and priceless items were even presented on several occasions and invested in students through mortgage loans and other means.

Such a huge investment yielded amazing results.

Those in the inner courtyard who were old enough to participate in this Soul Battle Tournament were given special attention early on, and even the task of hunting down evil soul masters was reduced accordingly, allowing them to cultivate in peace in the inner courtyard.

"Well, this competition allows sects to participate as well, and I'd like the Tang Sect to form a team as well," Xuanzi said, revealing his plan.

They clearly know that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, but they make it sound very sophisticated.

For the revival of the Tang Clan.

The Tang Clan was once an ally of Shrek Academy.

both

"The qualification to participate requires at least five disciples at the Soul Master level, which isn't difficult, but can the Tang Sect assemble a team of fourteen?"

The competition requires official team members and a reserve team for accident prevention, which means a total of fourteen people are needed.

Of course, you can also choose to participate with fewer people.

Even if you only register five Soul Masters from your own family, you can still participate in the competition. However, how the competition unfolds after you get on stage is another matter entirely.

Having the Tang Clan participate is another layer of insurance, and their equipment must not be neglected.

At the very least, there must be a Soul Emperor in charge, or even all of them must be Soul Kings.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to suppress the Sun and Moon Empire.

Thinking of the three formidable obstacles facing the Sun Moon Empire in this competition, Yan Shaozhe, Xuanzi, and everyone in the Sea God Pavilion felt extremely heavy-hearted.

The siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who were already Soul Kings at a young age, are probably Soul Emperors now and also possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Su Yu possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Master at the age of thirteen, even reaching the second ring of a thousand-year-old Soul Master and the fourth ring of a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Master. He was also able to defeat seven opponents of higher levels in a row.

These three alone are enough to make them take things seriously.

Su Yu, in particular, did not come from the traditional path of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Masters. His strength was heavily focused on the Soul Master direction, and with the addition of his Soul Guidance Device, he had almost no weaknesses.

A terrifying capacity for attrition.

All of these factors put Shrek under immense pressure.

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan, Shrek Academy is never short of geniuses."

It's not difficult to cultivate to the Soul King level before the age of twenty.

The difficulty lies in obtaining resources.

"Wang Dong will join that Tang Clan in the competition." At this moment, Titan, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, spoke up.

His voice is beyond question.

Xuanzi and the others felt a chill run down their spines, but they did not object to his words.

"Yes, I also plan to have Ning Tian from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion join the Tang Sect to participate in the competition, and Jiang Nannan will also join the Tang Sect." Yan Shaozhe continued Titan's words, talking about his own plan.

"Xiaoya's soul power is currently at level 49. I will help her break through to level 50 before the competition and personally lead the team to participate. Also, with Beibei, the Tang Sect's seven official main forces will be complete."

"Hmm, is the team representing Shrek Academy ready?"

The Tang Sect's setup is already quite luxurious, with three Soul Emperors—Bei Bei, Wang Dong, and Jiang Nannan—equipped in a way that even Shrek Academy couldn't always pull off in the past.

Jiang Nannan, in particular, is the most direct beneficiary of Shrek Academy's resource allocation. Her fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body, is the best solution Shrek Academy can think of to deal with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's martial soul fusion skill.

Of course, Wang Dong's strength should not be underestimated.

However, if Jiang Nannan joins the Tang Sect's team, how should Shrek Academy's own team deal with this Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
