Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 147 The Three Soul Douluos' Plot

"This is the third wave already!"

After Yun Yibai and his group left, they were indeed targeted. In just five days outside the city, they had already repelled three waves of invading enemies.

Moreover, each time an enemy force attacked, it was led by a Contra-like figure.

However, the Heaven Dou Royal Knights were quite powerful, and their leader, Roxon, was a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level. The teachers leading the teams from various academies were all Soul Saints. This combined strength ensured that their group did not suffer much damage.

The attackers, however, suffered some losses.

……

Wu Meng: "Fang Hu, how's it going? Do they have any powerful Soul Masters hiding in the shadows?"

Inside a cave, there were two people inside, while outside the cave, there were many more people guarding it. These people outside the cave were divided into three groups, and it was clear that they belonged to three different factions.

"Heh, didn't you test me too?" The man named Fang Hu sat down on the rock closest to the fire after entering the cave. He sneered in response to this.

After retorting to the man, Fang Hu turned his attention to the last person in the cave.

"Perkins, we've dealt with each other quite a bit, we know each other pretty well. Have you sensed the aura of a Title Douluo powerhouse from them?"

Perkins, an 82-level control-type Soul Douluo, whose Martial Soul is the Tree of Fear, had already led his family to join the Spirit Hall years ago.

Because he hadn't been with the Spirit Hall for long and wasn't a Title Douluo, although he had the title of Cardinal, his status in the Spirit Hall was only slightly above average, and he couldn't participate in the Spirit Hall's core decisions.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he naturally coveted the soul bone obtained from Martial Arts Academy. He wanted to obtain the head soul bone to make himself stronger, and he also wanted to gain more power in the Spirit Hall.

In the original timeline, Title Douluos appeared one after another. With Title Douluos as a foundation, how could they dare to harbor any ambitions!

However, this time, since the start of the competition, the Heaven Dou Empire has not received any news of titled Douluo, so they have naturally become bolder.

"Perkins, we're in a cooperative relationship now. How can we succeed if you keep things to yourself?" said the last person in the cave.

This person was the last Soul Douluo to participate in this incident. Wu Meng was an 86-level agility-attack type cultivator who was a rogue cultivator, but even as a rogue cultivator, he was able to gather a group of people.

Umon's words carried a hint of dissatisfaction, and his eyes, sharp as an eagle's, were fixed on Perkins, who sat by the fire, his face showing signs of age.

Perkins smiled slightly, his wrinkles deepening, but his eyes gleamed with a cunning light.

Mental-type Soul Masters—just hearing the name tells you they have highly developed brains. Clever, cunning, and ruthless are their defining characteristics.

"Brother Wumeng, why the rush? Since I, Perkins, have agreed to cooperate with you, I will naturally not hold back." Perkins said slowly, tapping the ground lightly with his cane, making a thumping sound.

Umon snorted coldly, clearly unconvinced by Perkins' explanation. He stood up, walked to Perkins' side, and looked down at him condescendingly.

"They have that Soul Douluo, Roxon, over there. Although his soul power is at level 85, his martial soul is troublesome. Although there are rumors that he can temporarily unleash the power of a Title Douluo by uniting his knight order, such rumors must not be unfounded."

"Roxon is already a threat. If they really have another Title Douluo hiding in the shadows, then we don't need to stay here any longer. We can call it quits." Wu Meng said directly, waving his hand.

"Hmph! Perkins, if you still don't behave, then we'll part ways here!" Fang Hu sneered, his words laced with threat.

Fang Hu, an 81-level Power Attack type Battle Soul Douluo, is actually an elder from the Fire Leopard Sect, one of the four lower sects, whose martial soul is the Falling Flame Steed.

The Fire Leopard Sect, whose headquarters are located in the Star Luo Empire, had already sided with the Spirit Hall a few years ago. In order to show their sincerity, the Fire Leopard Sect sent their brother-in-law, Fang Hu, who had just broken through to the Soul Douluo realm, to the Spirit Hall.

Sending Fang Hu instead of his own family's Soul Douluo was also intended to temporarily confuse outsiders.

Their Fire Leopard Sect is still within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. If they openly surrender to the Spirit Hall, their Fire Leopard Sect will face suppression from the Star Luo Empire, and that would only be the best-case scenario.

In the worst-case scenario, the Star Luo Empire might secretly eliminate their sect members one by one.

"Hehehe~" Perkins' laughter was very deep.

"Please be patient, you two! Haste makes waste!"

"I had already carefully examined the situation when you two made your move."

"You two can rest assured!"

"Ning Fengzhi, the only person in the Heaven Dou Empire who might be protected by a Title Douluo, left before them."

As mentioned before, Ning Fengzhi did not act with Xue Qinghe and the others. This was a smokescreen released by Ning Fengzhi, creating the illusion that he had already left ahead of time.

"So you two can relax now."

"Roxson is the strongest among them."

"However, to avoid any unnecessary accidents, we can take full action now." Perkins' eyes narrowed slightly.

The final rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament concluded in just three days.

The fact that Dugu Bo was in charge of Martial Arts Academy was not a big deal to the top powers of the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, with their resources, they could easily find out about such a thing.

However, the Soul Douluos who coveted Yun Yibai and his companions' soul bones were not from the Heaven Dou Empire. The Fire Leopard Sect, the Perkins family, and Wu Meng were originally from the Star Luo Empire.

Even the Spirit Hall only managed to find out about those details through its own channels.

Therefore, these three people only had a partial understanding of Martial Arts Academy, and their knowledge was limited to the three Soul Douluos who had already made their public appearances at Martial Arts Academy.

The unexpected event Perkins was referring to was the arrival of Yang Wudi and his group of Soul Douluos from Martial Arts Academy to provide support.

……

On the third night after they left Wuhun City, the Heaven Dou Royal Knights stood guard outside.

Inside, guarded by the others, were Xue Qinghe and his companions. Night had fallen, and apart from Yun Yibai, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Yu Tianheng, who patrolled the outer perimeter with the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, the rest of the group had gone to sleep and rest.

They were attacked for two consecutive days, so they had to prepare for the worst.

After they left, someone launched a large-scale sneak attack. They didn't believe that the Spirit Hall was completely unaware of it; however, in their view, the Spirit Hall had tacitly approved of the incident.
