Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

"A spirit ring storage device? That's a good thing."

Ling Bai accepted it. Xuan Ziwen had also made this soul tool later on, and it yielded a large number of soul rings during the beast tide.

The spirit rings dropped by killing enemies using spirit tools are set to be unclaimed spirit rings, meaning anyone can absorb them, giving spirit masters an opportunity to exploit loopholes.

"If you took my things, do something for me."

Lin Jiaran gently adjusted her silver-rimmed glasses and smiled, "I am fully responsible for the Soul Guidance Hall of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Sister Fengya's idea is to form three Soul Guidance Corps, arming them to the teeth with the finest Soul Guidance Devices, to rival the Five Guardians of the Sun Moon Empire."

Most soul tools can be replicated by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's soul tool masters according to the blueprints, but there is one soul tool that I personally created, and it's currently encountering a problem.

Mentioning soul tools, Lin Jiaran transformed from a serious female teacher into a fanatical soul tool master, pulling out three blueprints and, regardless of whether Ling Bai could understand them, began to explain:

"This is a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon called Crimson Soul."

My initial definition of it was a mass-produced, fixed-equipment soul-guided cannon for war. The first generation was also researched based on this concept, using as many cheap rare metals as possible to manufacture it while ensuring its power.

The Crimson Soul is a level higher than a regular fixed-position soul-guided cannon. A level 5 Crimson Soul is equivalent to a level 6 fixed-position soul-guided cannon, and a level 6 Crimson Soul is equivalent to a level 7 soul-guided cannon. However, the first generation of Crimson Souls could only reach level 6; the raw materials, core magic array, and basic circuitry could not support a level 7 fixed-position soul-guided device.

I felt this was not good, as only level seven was required to enter the threshold of high-level soul tools, so the second generation of Crimson Soul was created.

The Crimson Soul is crafted using precious rare metals and a completely new and improved design, increasing its explosive power and adding the Fear Storm of the Fear Dragon, specifically designed to strike the Soul Master's Sea of ​​Spirit.

Fengya believed that the second-generation Crimson Soul met the needs of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and ordered the school's Soul Masters to produce them in large quantities.

Of course, the issue I want to discuss with you is the third-generation Crimson Soul.

"There's a third generation?" Ling Bai was slightly taken aback.

"Do you understand the concept of technological reserves?"

Lin Jiaran said irritably, "Announcing the first generation, using the second generation, and developing the third generation!"

"How do you think the Sun Moon Empire is a generation ahead of the other three great empires? Most of the high-level soul tools you can get your hands on are obsolete. Honest sellers like me are extremely rare!"

"Where does your sense of pride come from...?" Ling Bai said, embarrassed.

"Enough with the nonsense." Lin Jiaran snorted coldly. "Unlike the first and second generations which had multiple levels, the third generation Crimson Soul only made level nine fixed-equipment soul guide cannons, but it lacked a crucial rare metal, Crimson Sun Divine Gold."

Crimson Sun Divine Gold is the best metal for carrying spiritual attributes. It is produced in small quantities only in the Sun Moon Empire and is strictly controlled by the Sun Moon Royal Family. Soul Masters below the ninth level are not even qualified to touch it, let alone smuggle it. You can't get two tons of it from Mingdu.

"Two tons?" Ling Bai's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant. "I think I've seen that thing in the Holy Spirit Treasury. Even with the Holy Spirit Cult's resources, they can't even gather five hundred catties."

Lin Jiaran coughed and hinted, "I heard from the Red Dust Hall Master that all the Crimson Sun Divine Gold is stored in the Sun and Moon Royal Treasury."

"Since the reputation of the Death Prison Douluo is already tarnished, what does it matter if it gets even worse..."

"Even the Death Prison Douluo is human!"

Ling Bai was furious, then sighed and said, "I'll try my best to get you a copy of your first-generation Crimson Soul blueprint."

"Tsk, they even accept discarded items..."

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ning Fengya admired the scenery on the wide bluestone path in the back garden of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Plants of all shapes and sizes were scattered throughout the garden, each with its own unique design. Ning Fengyu followed behind her sister, carrying a fruit platter and drinks.

In the adjacent Soul Fighting Zone, figures clashed and fought fiercely, with the sounds of dragons roaring and swords clashing echoing endlessly.

Ji Juechen rubbed his sore arms as he left the arena, but his eyes were filled with excitement. He couldn't count the seven freakish geniuses of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School on two hands, and he had a great time beating them up these past two months.

He even meticulously created a challenge schedule: Monday - Ling Bai, Tuesday - Ling Qiuxi, Wednesday - Wu Feng, Thursday - Ling Luochen, Friday - Chen Zifeng, weekend - recovery...

To be fair, this sword fanatic ignited the fighting spirit of all the geniuses. Yu Meng, Dinana, Xixi, and others often participated in the battles. Ji Juechen accepted all challengers, and everyone benefited greatly from the experience.

"boom--"

A violent roar came from somewhere in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Everyone glanced at it with an expression of indifference and then resumed their battle.

In the sect's underground chamber, Ling Bai was charred black from the explosion, the walls stained with mottled crimson blood. Jianmu Douluo stood to the side, waving away the smoke and dust, rubbing his chin and saying:

"The Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core failed for the third time. Your body is really tough..."

"Cough, cough!"

Ling Bai spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been trying to condense a second soul core for the past two months, but it was obvious that he had failed.

The second soul core, especially the Yin-Yang complementary second soul core, is not so easy to obtain. In the entire Douluo Continent, only Di Tian and Xie Di succeeded, and each of them had accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of experience.

Back then, when Elder Xuan failed to condense the same resonance dual soul cores, he was bedridden for three years. Yet Ling Bai was able to explode three times in just two months. It can only be said that the Gold of Life is indeed amazing.

If you fail, you must find the reason. Jianmu Douluo analyzed: "The reason why your teacher supports you in condensing the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core is that your physical strength is ridiculously high, and your twin martial souls are like the two poles of Yin and Yang, one holy and one evil, which counter each other and perfectly merge into you."

The failure of the second soul core was likely due to insufficient energy. A second soul core requires a massive amount of soul power, a principle shared by resonance and yin-yang complementarity.

Ling Bai wiped away the blood and nodded silently.

In the Douluo Continent: Limit Douluo series, Jianmu Douluo absorbed the life essence, Elder Mu absorbed the Dragon Pill, Ye Xishui received empowerment from Zhongli Laogui, and Long Xiaoyao's fate is unclear, but he likely also had some extraordinary encounters.

In another timeline, Huo Yuhao faced even greater difficulties. With the combined efforts of his six great soul spirits, the energy supply of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, and the assistance of the Light Dragon Pill, he ultimately achieved the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores at the cost of Elder Mu's soul dissipating.

"Where did they get so much soul power?"

I'm telling you to use your clever (and insidious) little brain.

I believe that the Holy Spirit Cult has already found a way to die!

In the sea of ​​spirit, the Snow Empress's cold voice echoed softly: "Your teacher overlooked one point. Your second soul core is a condensation of the power of the Death Prison Spider Emperor, and its opening location is in your chest. However, the connection between your chest and the Death Prison Spider Emperor is far from sufficient."

Xue Di is a soul beast who once attempted to condense a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, and her understanding of it surpasses that of Jianmu Douluo.

"Not enough contact?" Ling Bai frowned. "How do we solve this?"

"The simplest way is to fuse with a powerful torso soul bone, over 400,000 years old, which would be as compatible as possible with the abilities of the Death Prison Spider King," said the Snow Emperor.

Ling Bai fell into deep thought. This method was similar to Huo Yuhao's method of using the Ice Emperor's soul bone as the core to condense the ultimate ice soul core in his chest.

The one suitable for the Death Prison Spider King should be an evil soul beast. The Chaos Wolf King soul bone is definitely a no-go. There might only be one evil soul beast over 400,000 years old in the Douluo Continent...

"Teacher, do you know about the Killing City?" Ling Bai asked softly.

"The City of Slaughter... a prison that imprisoned evildoers ten thousand years ago. Those who walked out would obtain a God of Slaughter Domain, but it seems to have been destroyed by the Sea God."

"A super evil soul beast lives in the ruins of the Slaughter City, and it is related to my second soul core."

"It seems that the evil soul beast cannot be allowed to live. It's good to rid the people of this scourge. The sect's ancient records describe the entrance to the Slaughter City. Ten thousand years later, the world has changed beyond recognition. You and Xiaotian can focus on the Soul Master Competition. I'll have Fengya send disciples to find out the exact location of the Slaughter City."

"Thank you, teacher."

"It's nothing. Hurry back and pack your things. Didn't you plan to leave for Mingdu tomorrow? A few days ago, Linglong Pavilion sent someone to report that Mingdu is not safe and there are undercurrents. This time, your teacher will go with you," Jianmu Douluo said with a smile.

In fact, even if Jianmu Douluo were not mentioned, Ling Bai would have asked him to accompany him, since the Sun Moon Empire held this Soul Master Competition to prepare for the continental war in advance, attempting to kill the Soul Masters of the three great empires.

Ling Bai went to Mingdu to participate in the competition with the aim of annihilating the Holy Spirit Cult and defeating the Sun Moon Tycoon; winning the championship was merely a side benefit.

Ling Bai, a level 89 six-winged angel!

Level 68 Golden Dragon, Ling Qiuxi!

Level 65 Fire Dragon, Witch Wind!

The 62-tiered Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda, Ning Tian!

Level 59 Ghost, Nana!

Level 56 Mimi Elephant, Evil Illusion Moon!

Level 47 Jade Bird, Nanmen Yun'er!

With the Angel Temple's personnel configuration, Ling Bai will be completely defeated if he doesn't win the championship!

……

As the registration deadline approached, the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect teams departed from Shrek City in two separate groups. The Gluttonous Douluo Xuanlao escorted the Shrek team ahead, while the Tang Sect team of seven landed one hundred kilometers away from Mingdu.

They were about to enter Mingdu territory. As the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu had the continent's number one soul guidance defense system. Flying any further would inevitably make them targets for countless soul guidance devices.

Huo Yuhao personally cooked a sumptuous lunch. After everyone had eaten their fill and were drinking the last delicious meat soup, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar.

A team of fourteen horsemen, all dressed in black, rode horses much larger than ordinary steeds, over four meters long, entirely black, extremely robust, covered in a layer of fine scales, and with a bulge on their heads.

"Horned Scale Horses, they are the team of the Douling Empire."

Huo Yuhao recognized the horses at a glance. Horned-scaled horses were soul beasts, living on the grasslands of the Douling Empire. They had decent defensive capabilities but were not good at attacking. These soul beasts usually lived in groups because of their speed and excellent endurance, and were trained as mounts by the major sects of the Douling Empire.

In a short while, the group of horned-scaled horse riders appeared before the Tang Clan members at breakneck speed.

The resting place chosen by the Tang Clan was quite nice, with a great view, several towering trees nearby, and a cool and refreshing shade. The meat broth cooking over the fire emitted a rich aroma, making it a truly rustic place.

The knights spotted the seven members of the Tang Clan. The elder leading the group raised his hand, and the knights behind immediately slowed down, maintaining perfect order throughout the entire group.

The old man took the initiative to talk to Bei Bei, who was the leader of the Tang Clan. The group learned that they came from the Tianjia Sect of the Douling Empire and had traveled across the continent, enduring hardships.

The Tianjia Sect members ate and rested quietly, while the seven members of the Tang Clan enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation. Under the blazing sun, at the hottest time of day, the seven unanimously decided to continue their journey after noon.

The good times didn't last long. A buzzing sound echoed in the sky, and the ear-piercing whistling grew closer and closer. The Tang Clan and the Tianjia Sect couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The wide flying soul tool narrowed, and more than ten people landed on the ground, stopping on the other side of the Tang Sect camp.

"Hey, there are quite a few people. Those horned-scaled horses look pretty good, but unfortunately they can only run on the ground. Their speed is far inferior to the flying soul tools of our Chongtian Sect. They're probably just country bumpkins who came to participate in the competition."

The Heavenly Armor Sect has a thousand-year history and is an orthodox sect that strictly enforces its rules. In contrast, the Chongtian Sect is known for its unrestrained and undisciplined behavior, which makes the Tang Clan members frown and their goodwill towards them plummet.

"What poor manners."

Wang Dong'er pursed her lips, making no attempt to lower her voice. The fat man who had been speaking earlier looked over and, upon seeing Wang Dong'er, his fat face trembled slightly, and his bean-sized eyes gleamed with greed.

"Beautiful girl!! Hahaha!"

The fat man patted his greasy face and was about to run over to chat with Wang Dong'er when, without warning, the sky suddenly darkened and a huge shadow enveloped the small grove of trees.

The fat man was startled and stood frozen in place. The people from the three major sects looked up at the sky at the same time. They saw a thick layer of clouds rolling and blocking out the scorching sun. A dazzling golden light pierced the sky, and a deafening dragon roar pierced the heavens and earth.

A colossal dragon burst forth from the clouds, its body resembling a towering mountain peak. Its scales shimmered with a cold, golden-white luster, and its broad, powerful wings stirred up howling winds with each flap. The dragon's eyes were like two burning fireballs, revealing boundless majesty and power.

"Holy Light Spirit Dragon!?"

Wang Dong'er's beautiful pink and blue eyes widened. The Holy Light Spirit Dragon is a dragon of the Light attribute, possessing the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon, making it an extremely powerful dragon-type soul beast.

This Holy Light Spirit Dragon has cultivated for 80,000 years and is comparable to a human Soul Douluo. How could a Soul Beast of this level appear outside Mingdu City!

"There's someone on the Holy Light Dragon!"

Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes gave him extraordinary vision, allowing him to see the seven small black dots on the back of the Holy Light Spirit Dragon.

"Flying on a dragon?"

Everyone gaped in astonishment. What kind of sect could afford to raise an 80,000-year-old light-elemental dragon and even tame it as a mount?

The Holy Light Dragon descended from the sky at an astonishing speed, like a golden meteorite falling. Its dragon might was mixed with the air currents. The Heavenly Armor Sect and Chongtian Gate on the ground had never seen such a scene before. Their eyes were filled with fear and awe. The fat man from Chongtian Gate desperately squeezed his legs together to avoid being seen in the embarrassing state of incontinence.

The storm subsided, and the colossal dragon, once terrifying to others, lay obediently on the ground. Seven figures slowly descended, the handsome young man at the head ignoring the two major sects, his brilliant golden eyes landing directly on the Tang Clan members, and he said with a faint smile:

"What a coincidence, we meet again." (End of Chapter)
