Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 125 Alliance

Inside a mansion in the new Wuhun City, Li Fan, whose soul power was sealed, swung his tungsten steel staff, his mind constantly replaying the scenes of being taught by Li Fei when he was a child!

"Having my soul power sealed doesn't mean I can't cultivate; on the contrary, it's an opportunity for my growth. Besides, I still have the cultivation method of Qi and Blood Martial Arts!"

Li Fan was extremely focused as he practiced his self-created staff technique. Each strike produced a whooshing sound and created gusts of wind that left marks on the ground.

"Brother Fan, are you alright?!"

Hu Liena walked in from outside and asked with a worried look on her face.

"It's alright, Nana!" Li Fan put the tungsten steel rod back into his storage space, turned to Hu Liena, and said with some worry, "You'd better leave here quickly! If His Holiness the Pope asks, you won't be able to explain yourself!"

"Yes, Nana!" Yan, who was behind her, quickly chimed in.

"Shut up!" Hu Liena snapped, then turned to Li Fan, her eyes filled with tenderness, and said, "Brother Fan, I'll go plead with the teacher to let you go!"

"It's no use. I'm His Holiness the Pope's only bargaining chip to keep my brother in check. There's no way he'll let me leave!" Li Fan shook his head, somewhat disappointed.

"No, my teacher loves me the most, she will definitely listen to me!" Hu Liena said eagerly.

"Nana, be good! Go back and be your saintess, I'll be fine!" Li Fan stepped forward and gently rubbed Hu Liena's cheek, coaxing her.

"Brother Fan, don't worry, I will definitely help you see Brother Li Fei!" Hu Lina said earnestly, then ran out of the mansion and headed into the distance.

Yan, who was behind him, turned green. He had liked Hu Liena since he was a child, but Hu Liena only regarded him as a companion and had no love for him. Instead, she fell in love with Li Fan, a guy with an ordinary appearance.

Yan glared at Li Fan, then quickly caught up with Hu Liena, calling out, "Nana, wait for me!"

"Sigh!" Li Fan sighed, looking in the direction of Tiandou City, muttering repeatedly, "Brother, when are you coming to pick me up?!"

……

Inside the Body Sect, Li Fei suddenly sneezed, and the image of Li Fan involuntarily appeared in his mind. His brows furrowed as he thought about how to bring his younger brother over.

"What's wrong?!" Qian Renxue asked, nestled in Li Fei's arms.

Li Fei stroked Qian Renxue's snow-white skin and said in a deep voice, "I was just thinking about Xiao Fan. I wonder how he's doing with Bibi Dong!"

"You've really suffered. If the Heavenly Dou Empire weren't so busy right now, you probably could have brought your brother back last time you came back!" Qian Renxue said apologetically.

"It's alright. As long as things don't completely fall apart between the two sides, Xiao Fan will be fine!" Li Fei gently patted Qian Renxue's back, comforting her. "It just so happens that the Haotian Sect is also planning to cooperate with the Tiandou Empire this time. Once the people from the Haotian Sect arrive, I will be able to free up my hands and go to the Kingdom of Silves to bring Xiao Fan back."

"Tang Hao should be waking up soon!"

"Yes, based on my observation, it should be today!" Li Fei nodded, then paused, before smiling, "Looks like they're already awake!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Qian Renxue nodded, and a gush of liquid welled up from the wristband on her wrist. Then, a white dress appeared on her body, embroidered with various golden angel patterns. Following behind Li Fei, the two quickly arrived at the guest room.

Inside the room, Tang Hao was telling Tang San about what happened back then. Li Fei and Qian Renxue didn't disturb them, but sat down next to Tang Yuehua and listened carefully. Qian Renxue also wanted to know the truth about what happened back then.

When Qian Renxue learned the truth about Tang Hao and the Haotian Sect, she no longer harbored hatred towards them. Although Qian Xunji was seriously injured because of Tang Hao, it was his birth mother, Bibi Dong, who truly caused his death.

After listening to Tang Hao recount everything that happened back then, Qian Renxue finally understood why her father had personally gone to capture Tang Hao. A 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone were not something an ordinary person could tolerate.

"Spirit Hall!" Tang San clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred!

boom!

Li Fei's fist landed squarely on Tang San's head, leaving a large bump. He said irritably, "What do you want to do?! Do you want me to destroy the Clear Sky Sect right now, and then kill your father and that little girl in the Heaven Dou Academy?"

"..."

Tang San squatted on the ground, holding his head, without saying a word. However, his clenched teeth and trembling body showed that he was not calm at the moment.

"Tang San, let me tell you, as long as there are people on this continent, and as long as the existing cultivation system remains unchanged, the struggle between humans and soul beasts for survival will never cease, because the human heart is the most untrustworthy thing!"

Upon hearing this, not only Tang San, but also Qian Renxue, Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua, who were narrating, fell silent. Li Fei was absolutely right; hunting soul beasts for cultivation was the most normal thing in people's eyes.

"So if humanity's cultivation system were to become a bloodline martial arts that doesn't require hunting soul beasts, wouldn't we be able to live in peace with soul beasts?" Tang San stood up and asked firmly.

"I didn't expect you to ask such a naive question! Impossible. Even if Qi and Blood Martial Arts become the mainstream on the continent, the two sides can't coexist peacefully. At most, there will be fewer conflicts than before!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fei was surprised and angry, and said in a cold voice.

Li Fei was well aware that this was a world of cultivation, a world where the strong prey on the weak.

There are only so many resources in the world. Whether you are a human or a spirit beast, if you want to cultivate and become stronger, you can only compete and fight for them.

It's not very possible to live in peace.

"Alright, stop talking, Xiao San!" Tang Hao immediately interrupted Tang San, who was about to argue, and turned to say, "Li Fei, the Heaven Dou Empire is completely under the control of the Qian family, isn't it?!"

Li Fei glanced at Qian Renxue but said nothing.

Qian Renxue: "That's right! The entire Heaven Dou Empire is now under my control, and the current emperor, Xue Qinghe, is an imposter!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San and Tang Yuehua were shocked, never expecting that the emperor of the mighty Heaven Dou Empire had been replaced.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua also suddenly realized that since Xue Qinghe ascended the throne, what were the various policies and actions of the empire for?

The purpose of all this was to reorganize the entire empire, so that no one in the empire was loyal to the previous royal family, and everyone was replaced by people he had cultivated.

Even if Qian Renxue stops pretending, the Heaven Dou Empire will not experience much turmoil.

Li Fei said, "This time, I'm spreading the Qi and Blood Martial Arts not only because I want to expand the cultivation system throughout the entire continent, but also because I want to use this war caused by the two systems as an opportunity to unify the entire continent and completely end the war between the two countries that has lasted for many years!"

"What?!" Tang Hao couldn't sit still any longer. He looked at Li Fei with disbelief. He had tried his best to understand the actions of the Heavenly Dou Empire, but he never expected them to go so far as to try to unify the entire continent in one fell swoop.

"What?! The mighty Haotian Sect is scared? If you're scared, go back and close your mountain gates. Don't get involved in the affairs of our Tiandou Empire~" Li Fei looked at Tang Hao with a disdainful smirk.

"Afraid!" Tang Hao's voice rose slightly involuntarily, a hint of anger appearing on his face. "What nonsense are you talking about! My Clear Sky Sect has nothing to fear. I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect the Heavenly Dou Empire's target to be the entire world!"

"Of course. Promoting Qi and Blood Martial Arts is already equivalent to making enemies of all Soul Masters on the continent. It is a process of reshuffling the deck. Why not make it bigger and take the entire continent under our control?"

Li Fei's words were filled with majesty. With the spread of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, a war with the Star Luo Empire and the New Spirit Hall was inevitable. Since war was going to break out anyway, why not just destroy the Star Luo Empire and unify the entire continent?

It wasn't that Li Fei wanted to be emperor or had any grand ideals, but rather that he had witnessed too much death in this world. As a modern person, he had many more bottom lines than the people of this world, and those modern ideals could not be erased from his heart.

This was a fact that Li Fei had already understood after he attained enlightenment, but he did not dislike it.

This has nothing to do with good or evil. Li Fei has killed a lot of people. For example, he destroyed the royal palace of the Barak Kingdom with a single Dark Demon Thunder, killing many good people and even a lot of the kingdom's army.

"I understand. I can represent the Haotian Sect and join the Tiandou Empire. I'll take a gamble with you and the Tiandou Empire!" Tang Hao said with a determined look in his eyes.

After the battle with Qian Renxue, Tang Hao understood that Qian Renxue also possessed divine inheritance. Coupled with Li Fei's inheritance of the Sea God, with these two gods existing, who on the entire continent could stop them?!

Therefore, choosing to form an alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire is the best option. As for the hatred with the Qian family, Tang Hao cannot let go of it in his heart, but he is not alone. Behind him is the entire Haotian Sect. He has already hurt the Haotian Sect once, and he cannot hurt it a second time.

Moreover, now that he has the inheritance of the Asura and the hope of reviving Ah Yin, he can now suppress that hatred deep in his heart and no longer think about it.

Turning to Qian Renxue, he solemnly said, "Qian Renxue, after that battle, the feud between the Haotian Sect and the Qian family has come to an end. I hope that our two families can work together to unify the entire continent."

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "The Heaven Dou Empire welcomes the Haotian Sect!"

……

After Tang Hao announced his joining, Tang Yuehua went to inform the Clear Sky Sect, while Tang Hao stayed at the Body Sect to heal his injuries and also taught Tang San and asked Li Fei about knowledge of Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

"Gather your power a little more, and unleash it when it reaches its limit!"

Inside the Body Sect's training ground, Tang Hao, his body wrapped in bandages, was instructing Tang San on how to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San was using the Clear Sky Hammer to continuously unleash the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, but Tang Hao was not satisfied.

"He's been learning too many different things, especially Yu Xiaogang's cultivation methods, which are only suitable for ordinary soul masters. They're influencing him so much that he subconsciously follows his old methods every time he cultivates. These are habits formed over a long period, and they're not easy to change!"

"Having used Blue Silver Grass in battle for so long, he subconsciously tries to achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of soul power and skill, but these are not suitable for a power-type martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Li Fei walked to Tang Hao's side, looked at Tang San training in the courtyard, and said softly, "Actually, it's not just because of Yu Xiaogang's teachings, but also because of the unique skills in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu. Each one is a masterpiece of skill, influencing Tang San at all times."

Originally, the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique wasn't particularly sophisticated, and its effects were negligible. The difficulty lay in the fact that Tang Hao, having received the Asura inheritance and possessing a higher level of understanding and mastery, perfected and modified the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, which caused Tang San's discomfort.

In the original novel, Tang San's use of the Clear Sky Hammer also took the opposite path from Tang Hao's. Tang Hao made the Clear Sky Hammer even bigger, making the most of its power.

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer remained the same size, and even after the rings exploded, he still used his self-created Chaotic Wind Dance by condensing his soul power.

"This is also my fault. I told him not to use the Clear Sky Hammer in battle!" Tang Hao's face was full of self-reproach as he looked at Tang San in the arena and said, "From now on, I will personally teach him, and I will make sure that Little San forgets what Yu Xiaogang taught him!"

"However, I think you should first teach him how to be a good person! That Yu Xiaogang is indeed very strong in theoretical knowledge, but he's not very good at interpersonal relationships. Tang San should have been influenced by him over the years!"

Upon hearing Li Fei's words, Tang Hao frowned and began to ponder them. Considering Tang San's previous reaction to Ah Yin's matter, he could be considered to have tacitly agreed with Li Fei's words.

"I hope you can change and not become like the character in the original story, otherwise you'll only have death to live on!"

Li Fei looked at Tang San, who was diligently cultivating in the arena, and began to mutter to himself. He still felt disgusted with Tang San, but Tang San had now reached the pinnacle of Douluo Continent, and becoming a god was only a matter of time. He no longer worried about the future, so Tang San was dispensable to him. The main reason was that he didn't want to lay a hand on a child and bully the weak, even if Tang San was a reincarnated person.

After reminding Tang Hao, Li Fei turned and left, heading to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, where Qian Renxue was discussing the war plan against Xingluo and the new Spirit Hall with the court officials.

At this time, Qian Renxue was not using Xue Qinghe's appearance. Everyone here was a staff member of the Qian family, and they were all loyal to the Qian family. Otherwise, they would not have been appointed as ministers of the Heavenly Battle.

"Li Fei, you're here!"

Qian Renxue smiled and continued to make arrangements.

"Lord Li Fei!"

When Elder Yang and the others saw Li Fei, they immediately made way for him and said respectfully.

"Old Yang, how did your discussion go?!" Li Fei asked with a smile as he helped Old Yang up.

"Yes! According to our discussion with His Majesty, the key is still Jialing Pass. As long as we can firmly grasp Jialing Pass, we will be in an invincible position from the start." Old Yang pointed to Jialing Pass on the sand table and said slowly.
