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

However, unlike Li Qingsong, the General of the Heavenly Strategy Army, and Liu Chuang, the General of the Tiger Army, he is still in the observation stage regarding this newly enthroned Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue].

If this Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue] were a wise ruler, he would gladly sacrifice himself to serve him, even unto death.

If this Qinghe Emperor [Qian Renxue] is as incompetent as the previous Xueye Emperor, then it's no wonder he continues to slack off and waste his days.

Unlike other civil and military officials in the empire, most of whom were accustomed to holding their positions without doing anything, Marshal Goron was quite extraordinary.

Deep in his heart, he had always harbored a dream: to see the Heavenly Dou Empire unify the continent and to follow an emperor in establishing a unified empire.

Unfortunately, faced with the oppression and provocation of the Star Luo Empire, the former Emperor Xueye only knew how to indulge and tolerate, which greatly disappointed Marshal Gelong.

Forgive his ignorance, but he did not understand what the Snow Night Emperor was afraid of.

If we only consider the basic strength of the two countries' armies, the Heavenly Dou Empire does indeed have a gap at present. Its own 200,000 Heavenly Dou troops cannot defeat the opposing 100,000 Star Luo troops.

But war isn't just about fighting the military; it also involves fighting the economy.

The Star Luo Empire was militaristic and its military strength was indeed very strong, but unfortunately its internal economy had long been in a mess.

If a real war breaks out and drags on, the entire Star Luo Empire might just split apart on its own.

Moreover, in Marshal Goron's view...

The army of the Heaven Dou Empire may not necessarily be unable to defeat the army of the Star Luo Empire.

In the past, General Li Qingsong of the Tian Ce Army once defeated the Star Luo Empire's army of 300,000 with a mere 100,000 troops on the Lima Plain.

He was made a god in one battle and given the title of Tian Ce.

This was the first major victory for the Heavenly Dou Empire in decades, a victory that thrilled the entire empire.

Unfortunately, his achievements overshadowed his master.

Before General Li Qingsong could even rejoice for long, he was forcibly stripped of his military power by Emperor Xueye and became a mascot in the court.

The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Taiji Hall.

"Human intervention... is indeed very possible. Do any of you ministers have different opinions on this matter?" Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue] asked.

Shortly after she finished speaking, all the civil and military officials stood up and expressed their opinions.

"Your Majesty, the spread of soul power is undoubtedly a plague targeting soul masters. We need to find the culprit as soon as possible to prevent the situation from escalating and worsening."

"The spread of soul power is unprecedented. It is not like a plague, but more like a forbidden curse."

"If it affects civilians..."

"Prime Minister, you are overthinking it. The common people are very safe because most of them do not have soul power. But for the noble class, no matter what their talent is, they all have some soul power because their parents and relatives are soul masters."

"This is not just targeting Soul Masters. I suspect it's a conspiracy deliberately targeting the aristocratic class, Soul Master families, various sects, and even the Spirit Hall."

"What Grand Marshal Goron just said—that most of those infected are sect leaders and heads of soul master families—fully demonstrates that the mastermind behind this act was doing so intentionally."

Perhaps sensing that their social standing was being challenged by a behind-the-scenes force, these civil and military officials, who usually held their positions without contributing anything, were now brimming with fighting spirit.

They were all eager to fight, filled with righteous indignation, and wished they could grind the perpetrators of such a thing to dust.

......

at the same time.

Douluo God Realm, a forbidden land of gods.

This is an ancient battlefield, littered with severed limbs and broken bodies—human and beast remains—and haunted by terrifying vengeful spirits. Scattered across the damp, dark earth are broken weapons.

Just now.

In a dark and damp swamp, a golden dragon emerged. Its body was not dirty; its shimmering golden scales seemed to be covered by an invisible membrane, forcibly separating it from the filthy swamp around it.

This is a robust Western dragon, and it looks extremely majestic and imposing.

Suddenly, it opened its enormous dragon eyes, as big as a truck, and its pupils gleamed with an unfathomable light.

"The forbidden dragon technique I used has successfully taken root in the lower realm, infecting many humans with the plague virus. But the god-kings in the divine realm seem to have no reaction. Could it be that they have truly perished?"

As it opened its mouth to speak, its dragon body, which was over a thousand meters long from head to tail, naturally stretched out, and the huge dragon body covered with golden scales looked like a majestic mountain.

Its body is covered in dragon scales that look like they were cast from pure gold. They are exceptionally smooth and clean. Its huge body does not give people a bulky feeling at all. Instead, it is full of power and wild beauty.

Every part of the golden dragon's body was so perfect, possessing an elegance unique to the dragon race, as if it were born purely for battle.

When it moves its body unintentionally, a faint dark red mist emerges from between the gaps in its golden dragon scales, signifying that it possesses the noble bloodline of a dragon god.

As for the red blood streaks beneath its smooth belly, resembling surging magma, this wasn't some strange or unusual fetish; it was the dragon unleashing a forbidden technique.

"We can't rush things. We need to wait a few more years. If those god-kings still haven't discovered that my power has quietly seeped out of the god realm, then it means that there's really a big problem within their ranks."

After the golden dragon finished speaking, it closed its eyes tightly, and its huge body slowly sank into the swamp.

........

Douluo Continent, Seagod Island, Sub-island, Seven Sacred Pillars Sea Dragon City.

Outside a prestigious and luxurious mansion, a plaque with the words "Hailong" hangs high. The mansion is very large, with several large courtyards scattered throughout, each of which is no smaller than a large football field.

Inside one of the courtyards, on a three-story pavilion with a beautiful view, a man and a woman stood side by side. The man was young, around seventeen or eighteen years old, while the woman looked to be around thirty or forty years old.

There were few people around the man and woman, because it was a relatively spacious courtyard. Apart from the necessary maids and servants, there were basically no other people in the entire courtyard.

"Teacher, are you sure I should help too? Wouldn't that be too much of a bully?" Dong Qing asked, rubbing his nose.

"Hmph! Feeling sorry for her?" Bibi Dong snorted coldly, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"No, it's just... it just feels like they're bullying us too much," Dong Qing quickly waved his hand.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but for a fleeting moment, he seemed to see two terrifying, gigantic spider phantoms flash by behind Bibi Dong.

"How is that bullying her? Xiaoqing, you were fifteen yesterday, and you've only just turned sixteen today. You're well within the rules of the Rakshasa Six Trials invitation." Bibi Dong said nonchalantly.

“Teacher, what we’re doing is unethical. She already agreed to let you win, but she deliberately lost to you during the competition. Besides, she put on an act in front of outsiders all day yesterday because of this,” Dongqing advised.

He is no longer the same person he was during the Five Trials of Rakshasa.

Since he began cultivating the Undying Scripture, his power has entered a period of rapid growth. Now, he can crush any Title Douluo with his strength alone.

As for the 100,000-year soul ring [soul ring age limit 990,000 years] and the sixth soul skill that he obtained yesterday, to be honest, Dong Qing didn't care too much about it.

He knew that his roots were always the pure bloodline of the Ten Ferocious Level Heavenly Horned Ant flowing within him.

Soul ring? Soul skills?

However, these are all external things that are dispensable; only the power one possesses is fundamental.

"Immoral is immoral. Xiaoqing, you have no idea how stingy Rakshasa God is. Whenever Teacher completes a divine test by himself, the reward for passing the test is extremely meager."

"If it weren't for your participation, Xiaoqing, during the last Five Trials of Rakshasa, I probably wouldn't have received the divinely bestowed soul ring at all. It would have been a matter of simply increasing the age of a single soul ring by a few hundred or a thousand years to get rid of me."

"If you stand idly by this time, Xiaoqing, I can guarantee that even if she deliberately loses to me and exceeds the final assessment target, the final assessment reward will be unbelievably small."

Bibi Dong spoke with a hint of helplessness. She seriously suspected that Rakshasa God was severely lacking in love, because so far, every assessment task she had undertaken had an invitation rule.

Apart from age requirements, there are no other special requirements.

"No way! This is the Divine Trial, the Nine Trials of Rakshasa! It can increase the age of a single spirit ring? Shouldn't the age of all spirit rings increase together?"

Dong Qing was speechless. Was this Rakshasa God out of his mind? He actually increased the age of a single soul ring. Wasn't this just blatant stinginess written all over his face?

"Would a teacher lie to you?" Bibi Dong stared at Dong Qing with a resentful look in her eyes.

As she said.

She didn't lie to Dongqing; the rewards for the first few of her Nine Trials of Rakshasa were indeed very meager.

The Rakshasa Trial: The assessment task... [Passing the assessment rewards 5% of the Rakshasa's Will, the first Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, and an increase of 500 years in the age of the fifth Soul Ring.]

Back then, Dong Qing was still in the Super God Universe and hadn't yet transmigrated to the Douluo Continent in a physical body. All he did was harass a beautiful policewoman named Qi Lin every day.

The second trial of Rakshasa, the assessment task... [Passing the assessment will reward you with 5% of Rakshasa's Intent, your first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, and an increase of 1,000 years in the age of your seventh soul ring.]

Dong Qing had only recently traveled to the Douluo Continent world aboard the Sky-Traveling Shuttle. When his Ten Fiend Level Pure Blood Heavenly Horn Ant bloodline came into contact with the rich spiritual energy of this world, he was reborn. At that time, he was just an infant.

The Rakshasa Trials, the assessment task... [Passing the assessment will reward you with 5% of the Rakshasa's Will, your first Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, and an increase of 1,500 years in the age of your eighth Soul Ring.]

Dongqing was still playing in the mud in Holy Soul Village, bullying Tang San whenever he had the chance.

The Rakshasa's Fourth Trial, the assessment task... [Passing the assessment will reward you with 5% of the Rakshasa's Will, the first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, and an increase of 2,000 years in the age of your ninth soul ring.]

Dongqing had become Bibi Dong's apprentice, but she didn't trust him enough at that time and didn't tell him about the divine test.

The Five Trials of Rakshasa, the assessment task... [Passing the assessment will reward you with 20% of the Rakshasa's Intent and a divinely bestowed Soul Ring.]

At this moment, Dongqing gained Bibi Dong's trust and subsequently became the one who invited her... The Rakshasa Five Trials instantly returned to the rewards that a normal divine trial should have.

Chapter 539, Twin Martial Souls, Dual Possession

Whether Bibi Dong would deceive him or not, Dong Qing believed, was an unknown.

Last time we clearly agreed that it was just a test of strength.

As a result, after she knocked herself unconscious, she began her immoral behavior of bullying her master.

No one can understand the pain Dongqing felt at that moment.

When you open your eyes from your deep sleep, your once highly respected teacher places his hands on your chest, straddles you, and slowly devours you in despair.

This is the end.

Dongqing embarked on the irreversible path of becoming a jockey and spider hunter, gradually transforming from a good person, a simple boy, and an honest man into someone he never imagined he would become.

This is not...

"Xiao Qing, quickly take out your Vast Ocean Universe Cover, your teacher wants to rest!" Bibi Dong said, stretching.

Upon hearing her words, Dong Qing immediately understood. He looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was around, he took out a blue transparent crystal from the inner world of the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

"First skill: Vast Ocean Protective Shield".

next second.

A strange space completely enveloped Dong Qing and Bibi Dong, making them appear to outsiders as if they had vanished into the space, achieving complete invisibility.

The jockey's spider-slaying was truly remarkable.
