Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

"No rush."

He was well aware of the current situation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Their strength was severely depleted; more than half of their elite troops had been killed or wounded, and the rest were almost all injured. Let alone attacking other sects, even going down the mountain to fight the scattered, wandering soldiers on the outskirts would result in considerable casualties.

To conduct a thorough investigation, one must employ appropriate methods.

"We are short of manpower and supplies right now. It's not worth fighting head-on."

Yu Xiaoheng said.

"I can help the sect train its troops."

The elder frowned.

“Training troops? Our Blue Lightning Sect already has its own training methods, and besides, we can’t even get enough to eat right now, how can we train?”

Yu Xiaoheng raised his hand, interrupting the Grand Elder's doubts.

"Practice using my method."

He extended his right hand, palm facing up.

A ball of purple flame suddenly shot up.

Purple Flame of Heavenly Punishment.

The moment the flames appeared, the temperature inside the hall underwent a strange change. Although there was no heat wave, everyone felt as if their souls had been scorched.

Yu Xiaoheng looked at the purple flame in his palm.

After several months of seclusion, his control over the Heavenly Punishment Purple Flame has reached a whole new level.

"My Heavenly Punishment Fire can burn away the origin of a martial soul, but if controlled properly, it can also temper the body and remove impurities."

"I will provide you with purple fire. As long as you can withstand the tempering of the purple fire, your physical constitution and the purity of your soul power will be greatly improved. This is a simplified version of my body tempering method."

The hall fell silent.

This sounds like taking a shortcut.

But they had witnessed the power of the Heavenly Punishment Purple Flame firsthand; it was something that could force Qian Daoliu to retreat. Using such a thing to refine one's body would result in annihilation if one was not careful.

The Third Elder was the first to step forward.

"I'll do it! My bones have been feeling rusty these past few days, this purple fire will give them a good roasting!"

The Second Elder was not to be outdone.

Count me in!

Yu Xiaoheng nodded.

"Those who are willing to train, go find... Xiao Gang and sign up. Not only the elders, but also the younger generation of disciples must participate. Those who can't handle it, then withdraw. I won't force them."

After the training plan was finalized...

The fat butler reminded him with a pained expression.

"Sect Master, training troops requires a lot of physical strength, but we really don't have much food left in our warehouse."

Without food, even the best body-strengthening methods are useless.

Yu Xiaoheng put away the purple flame in his palm.

"I know."

"Therefore, the first step in the reckoning is not to fight, but to take."

The Grand Elder was puzzled.

"Get it? Where do I get it?"

“Go ask them for it.” Yu Xiaoheng looked at the Grand Elder. “Send a few people with my message. Go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, and the Lower Four Sects.”

"Tell Ning Zhenyuan, tell the emperor of the Xue family. I, Yu Xiaoheng, am not dead yet."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is currently short of money, food, and medicine. We need to have each of their factions send 100,000 catties of grain, 50,000 gold soul coins, and medicinal herbs for healing to the foot of the mountain within a month."

"If you won't deliver it, I'll go get it myself."

The people inside the hall gasped.

This is blatant extortion!

Sending people to the enemy's headquarters and demanding money and supplies is an extremely ruthless tactic.

The Second Elder said with concern.

"Sect Master, will they give it to us?"

Yu Xiaoheng chuckled lightly.

"Most people won't give it. But there are always some who are too timid."

What Yu Xiaoheng wanted was to create a pretext.

His reputation speaks for itself. Defeating two peerless powerhouses is a feat that should terrify many. Those small and medium-sized forces that followed the Spirit Hall in the war of sect annihilation and tried to profit from the chaos will surely be restless and unable to eat or sleep when they hear that he is seeking revenge.

As it turned out, Yu Xiaoheng's prediction was correct.

The following week.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan dispatched several small teams, carrying Yu Xiaoheng's conditions, and descended the mountain in a grand manner.

They did not hide their whereabouts.

Instead, they made a big fuss, telling everyone that Yu Xiaoheng had emerged from seclusion and that he now demanded compensation from all the major sects for their losses.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the Douluo Continent.

For a time, all major forces were on edge.

Tian Dou City.

The main hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.

Ning Zhenyuan sat in a wheelchair, his face deathly pale. That day, Yu Xiaoheng shattered his protective qi with a single palm strike, injuring his internal organs, from which he had not yet fully recovered.

The Blue Lightning Sect steward, who was delivering the message, stood below, head held high and chest puffed out.

"Sect Master Ning, my sect master said that he will personally collect 100,000 catties of grain and 50,000 gold soul coins if it is not enough."

Ning Zhenyuan was so angry that he trembled all over and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Who does Yu Xiaoheng think he is! To expect my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to pay tribute to him? Dream on!"

It's not just the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The Heavenly Dou royal family drove the messenger away. The reigning emperor flew into a rage in the court, declaring that the Blue Lightning Sect was challenging imperial authority.

The sect leaders of the four lower sects even gathered together to discuss the matter, concluding that Yu Xiaoheng had gone mad.

The effects of extortion were only seen in some small sects.

Two or three minor sects that had participated in the siege were so frightened that they sold their property overnight, gathered money and food, and secretly delivered it to the foot of the mountain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

As for those powerful forces, they completely ignored Yu Xiaoheng's threats.

This reaction is understandable.

There is no shortage of smart people on the Douluo Continent.

After the initial panic, many high-level experts began to calmly analyze Yu Xiaoheng's combat strength at that time.

"A level 70 defeating a level 99? That's completely illogical!"

The dean of a high-level Soul Master Academy analyzed the situation with great confidence at a dinner table.

"Have you forgotten that Soul Master Competition back then? Yu Xiaoheng used a secret technique that overdraws life force to unleash power back then."

“He must have used similar methods on the day of the battle to destroy the sect.”

"After this secret technique is fully unleashed, there will inevitably be a long-term weakness, or even a drop in cultivation level. He's hiding in the mountain now and not coming down, only sending people out to make threats—that's called bluffing!"

This claim quickly spread throughout the Soul Master community.

More and more people believe that Yu Xiaoheng is now just a paper tiger.

His Purple-Gold True Dragon and Heavenly Punishment Purple Flame at that time were definitely released after exhausting the source of his martial soul.

This kind of power cannot last.

He might not even be able to get out of bed now.

Chapter 564 Complete Body Refinement

If Yu Xiaoheng truly still possessed the strength he had that day, why would he only send people out to demand money and supplies? Wouldn't it have been better to simply attack their doorstep?

The logic is perfectly closed.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall not only did not withdraw the troops blocking the mountain road, but also sent more people.

The Heaven Dou Empire posted more arrest warrants.

The reactions from the outside world were gradually relayed back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan through the scouts wandering down the mountain.

late at night.

Several unmarked carriages quietly stopped at the foot of Zhenlong Mountain.

The leaders of several minor sects personally escorted the carts, unloading sacks filled with grain. They had sold their possessions overnight to gather these supplies, hoping that Yu Xiaoheng would not include them in the purge.

After the fat deacon in charge of receiving the supplies from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan finished counting them, he immediately ordered the grain to be transported up the mountain.

Outside the main hall of Zhenlong Mountain.

Steaming hot rice was served.

For the past few months, the sect has been under lockdown, and everyone has only been able to drink thin rice porridge every day. Now, seeing the white rice, the disciples' eyes widen in amazement.

After eating and drinking to your heart's content, your physical strength will be restored.

Yu Xiaoheng stood on the steps of the main hall, looking down at the more than three thousand disciples gathered below.

"Once you're full, let's begin."
