Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"Yes, go down." The deep, aged voice of Emperor Xueye rang out.

He was no longer young, and the deaths of several princes accelerated his aging process.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The man in light gold armor bowed respectfully, then slowly withdrew from the main hall.

After he left.

Emperor Xueye rubbed the sealing wax with his fingers, carefully took out the top-secret letter inside, and began to examine it carefully, bit by bit.

"Dongqing, male, orphan, six years old, based on descriptions from several villagers, the following information has been obtained,"

The letter begins with a brief line of text, the information sourced from the testimonies of the villagers of Holy Soul Village.

"This newly appointed Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Dong Qing, was abandoned outside Holy Spirit Village as an infant. Fortunately, he was adopted by the village chief and raised to adulthood."

"But during his childhood, he already showed remarkable physical abilities. At the age of three, he could drag a giant log weighing over 100 kilograms. At the age of five, his strength was even greater, and he once wrestled with a rampaging water buffalo."

"According to this villager's testimony, he witnessed Dongqing forcibly dragging away this rampaging water buffalo, and no matter how much it resisted, it could not break free from his grasp."

"According to calculations, pulling a rampaging water buffalo backwards requires at least 1,500 jin of divine strength with a single arm swing. In other words, this newly promoted Holy Son of the Spirit Hall has a physical fitness level of at least a level 30 Soul Master."

"Based on his physical strength, the highest level of spirit ring he can absorb is a thousand-year spirit ring, according to calculations."

"At the same time, when he awakened his martial soul at the age of six, he not only successfully awakened innate full soul power, but also possessed a mysterious and powerful mutated martial soul."

"Finally, there is the latest secret intelligence from the Empire that they have planted as an inside agent in the Spirit Hall. About a week ago, Mei Xiangxue, a level 69 Soul Emperor and a level 50 Soul King, and Li Yuemei, a level 50 Soul King, were absent from class in the morning at the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy without any reason."

The contents of the sealing wax letter end here, and it is stamped with the imperial seal of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"A storm is brewing. The Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Spirit Hall, it seems that the next generation of the Spirit Hall will be even stronger, while our Heaven Dou Empire and the Three Upper Sects do not have a single outstanding successor."

Emperor Xueye's voice was slightly helpless, and his aged face was full of sorrow, because even he himself did not know.

Ten or twenty years from now, how will the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Three Upper Sects, the three most powerful forces on the continent, deal with the ever-expanding ambitions of the Spirit Hall?

The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Residence.

After reading the secret letter in her hand, Xue Qinghe [Qian Renxue] angrily threw it on the ground and then stomped on it hard.

She continued to crush it with her feet until it was finally reduced to powder.

"I, Qian Renxue, don't care about geniuses or anything like that. In this world, no one is more talented than me. You even sent me a letter, and you didn't say a single word of concern for me!!!"

Qian Renxue was so angry that she almost revealed her true form. Bibi Dong had been praising her new apprentice Dong Qing for his high talent in a sealed letter.

Although Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong have always had a bad relationship, it doesn't mean that she doesn't acknowledge her as her mother, nor does it mean that Bibi Dong doesn't acknowledge her as her daughter.

Regardless of anything else, they are still biological mother and daughter connected by blood. No matter how much they dislike each other on the surface, they are still willing to give their lives for each other when it matters.

This is also why Qian Daoliu, the peerless Douluo known as the invincible one in the sky and the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, did not avenge his biological son, Qian Xunji.

He didn't want to see his only granddaughter, Qian Renxue, harbor hatred towards him for killing her mother, and only secondarily did he comfort himself with Qian Xunji's words that he had brought it upon himself.

I ask you, how many arrogant and domineering scoundrels weren't spoiled by their own parents?

Heavenly Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Rongrong, don't run around. There's a threshold ahead. Be careful not to fall," Sword Douluo Chenxin shouted.

"Hahaha, no way... Grandpa Sword, you can't catch me..." Ning Rongrong ran forward on her own, accompanied by a burst of silvery laughter.

I don't know.

There was a tall threshold in front of her, and Ning Rongrong accidentally bumped her ankle on it.

Driven by inertia, her body flew straight forward, and just as she was about to hit the ground face-first, Ning Rongrong closed her eyes in fear.

"Sigh, Rongrong, that little devil, is really a handful."

Gu Rongrong, the Bone Douluo, appeared beside Ning Rongrong in an instant. With lightning speed, he scooped her up as she fell, and Ning Rongrong finally realized that she was safe.

She was stunned at first, then burst into tears.

"Waaaaah... Grandpa Bone... Rongrong is so scared!!!" Ning Rongrong cried while secretly wiping her snot on the clean clothes of Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"Rongrong, don't be afraid. As long as Grandpa Bone and Grandpa Sword are here, Rongrong will never get hurt," Bone Douluo Gu Rong comforted her softly.

Just as Ning Rongrong was sobbing softly in the arms of Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, suddenly walked over from not far away and handed a sealed letter with sealing wax to Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was standing to the side.

After some time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin spoke up: "This Holy Son of the Spirit Hall has terrifying potential. Not only does he have innate full spirit power, but he also absorbed a thousand-year spirit ring in his first ring. Among his peers, who can be his match?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Although Rongrong is considered outstanding in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, her talent and potential are still far inferior to that of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

"So what, Fengzhi? I'm not trying to be mean, but Rongrong is a girl. She doesn't need to compare herself to this little monster. When she grows up, with the two of us old geezers taking care of her, no one on this continent will dare to bully her!" Bone Douluo Gu Rong said confidently.

Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?

Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes curiously, her pupils filled with curiosity about this holy son. What kind of person could make Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword, and her father care about him so much?

Driven by curiosity, Ning Rongrong stopped sobbing and asked, "Daddy, what's the name of that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"

"Dongqing, the Dong in the east, and the Qing in the blue sky."

Chapter 19, Senior Sister! You're so fat!

Wuhun City, the Wuhun Hall Elite Soul Master Academy, the stage for the all-grade academy competition.

This is an annual competition held within the academy, which can be divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

The Elementary Grand Competition: Battles at the Soul Master level, mainly for level 10 and 20 Soul Masters. Freshmen like Dong Qing can reach around level 10 or 12 Soul Power after a year of enrollment, which is when they can participate in the Elementary Grand Competition.

Intermediate Grand Competition: Battles at the level of Great Soul Masters. This is mainly a stage for level 21 and 30 Great Soul Masters. If you reach level 30 but still haven't obtained a Soul Ring and become a Soul Master, you can still participate in the Great Soul Master level battles.

The Advanced Competition: Battles at the Soul Master level, primarily for Soul Masters at levels 31 and 40. If you reach level 40 but haven't yet obtained a Soul Ring and become a Soul Grandmaster, you can still participate in Soul Master level battles.

As for Soul Masters of level 40 and above, they are basically ready to graduate and no longer need to participate in the Academy Competition.

However, since it is a grand competition, there are naturally rewards. The first place winner of each stage of the competition will receive a large amount of gold soul coins. The Spirit Hall never plays tricks. As long as you have talent, you can be showered with gold soul coins until you don't recognize yourself.

The first place winner of the beginner competition will be awarded 1,000 gold soul coins, the first place winner of the intermediate competition will be awarded 5,000 gold soul coins, and the first place winner of the advanced competition will be awarded 10,000 gold soul coins.

Don't be fooled by the small quantity of Gold Soul Coins; their purchasing power far exceeds your imagination.

simply put.

One gold soul coin is equal to one hundred silver soul coins, and one silver soul coin is equal to one hundred bronze soul coins.

One gold soul coin requires an average family of three to work non-stop for a month.

The Spirit Hall directly offered a large amount of gold soul coins as a reward, naturally hoping that the students in the academy would work hard to cultivate and become the future pillars of the Spirit Hall as soon as possible.

At 11:00 AM, at the registration desk of the Elementary Grand Prix Academy.

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to participate in the preliminary competition? You should know that your seniors are basically maintaining a soul power level of 18 or 19 in order to obtain this reward of 1,000 gold soul coins."

"There are even a few individuals who maintain a soul power level of 20 without absorbing a soul ring, just for the sake of these 1,000 gold soul coins today. Their strength is much greater than that of ordinary soul masters."

"Your Highness, you've only been enrolled for a short time. Based on your current soul power fluctuations, you're only at level thirteen. If you wait until next year, I believe you'll be able to sweep the entire field," the teacher at the registration desk sincerely advised.

In his opinion, although Dong Qing is very talented and now possesses a thousand-year soul ring, his soul power level is still not high enough. Against an opponent with a soul power level seven or eight levels higher than his, his chances of winning are really not high.

"No need to wait until next year, I can sweep the field this year just the same." Dong Qing's voice was loud and full of confidence, a confidence in his own powerful talent.

These words aroused public outrage.

"Don't be arrogant. Watch how I beat you up later. Even if you are His Highness the Holy Son, I will not show any mercy."

"That's right, that's right. Although Your Highness has great talent, with innate full soul power and a thousand-year soul ring, you have only been enrolled for a short time. You may not be our match."

"His Highness is so handsome!"

Suddenly, a voice that didn't belong in the group rang out. Everyone looked over and saw a young girl who looked about the same age as Dong Qing and had only recently enrolled in school.

Damn it!!!

He was so good at acting aloof to attract the attention of female students that Dong Qing unintentionally absorbed another wave of hatred.

At this moment, the teacher at the registration office for the preliminary competition looked at Dong Qing's persistent and earnest eyes, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to stop him.

Brush brush.

He filled in Dong Qing's name, level 13 soul power, and his martial soul, the Heavenly Horned Ant, on the registration form.

"Your Highness, the competition starts at 1:00 PM sharp. The preliminary competition will officially begin," the teacher at the registration desk reminded them.

"Okay, thanks, I understand." Dong Qing nodded with feigned aloofness, then left without looking back.

Although the male classmates didn't like Dongqing's aloof demeanor, the female classmates were captivated by it.

Seeing Dong Qing's aloof demeanor, they couldn't help but whisper, "He's so handsome!"

Oh, and remember this: not everyone can act aloof. Being handsome is what makes someone aloof, implying arrogance and haughtiness. Being ugly is what makes someone pretentious, implying overestimating their abilities.

Just as Dong Qing stepped out of the lower-grade academy gate, ready to go get lunch, he was blocked by Hu Liena again.

"Senior sister, I'm warning you, I'm not going to have dinner with you today." Dong Qing jumped back instantly, moving away from Hu Liena and dodging the fox's tail that swept past.

"You brat, do you think I wanted to take you out to eat?" Hu Liena said angrily, hands on her hips.

"Of course you don't want to. You just want to use me as a shield to keep those flies around you out of your way," Dong Qing immediately mocked.

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena coughed twice, choking and unable to speak.

Since Yan was warned, he no longer dared to hang around Hu Liena, and naturally, he couldn't swat the flies buzzing around her.

They weren't after Hu Liena's body; their main goal was to build a good relationship with this Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, so they might be able to ask her for help in the future.

Although these people are only twelve years old, just like Hu Liena, their parents are much older than twelve, which is why there are so many flies around Hu Liena.

Seeing that Dong Qing was about to leave without looking back, Hu Liena hurriedly said, "Fifty gold soul coins!"

"You need to pay more!"

Dong Qing paused for a moment, but didn't stop completely; he was waiting for someone to raise the price.

"One hundred gold soul coins, okay? You brat, I'm warning you, don't go too far," Hu Liena said angrily.

After saying that, she took out one hundred gold soul coins from her bosom and tossed them to Dong Qing, who was ready to leave at any moment.

"It's a word."

After Dong Qing steadily accepted the bag of gold soul coins, he obediently went to Hu Liena's side and let her pinch his cheeks with both hands.
