Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Because he was weak and sickly from childhood in his previous life, Zhao Xuanzhen did not cultivate the Eight Trigrams and Strange Gates to a high level. In this life, he awakened his original martial soul, and all his abilities became part of his original body, thus achieving Zhao Xuanzhen's true self!

Heaven, Earth, Man, God!

The right time, the right place, the right people, and divine help!

With absolute physical and mental support, the Bagua Qimen Four Plates Taoist technique was finally liberated!

Qimen air conditioners are a thing of the past!

Zhao Xuanzhen retrieved the Spirit Water Capybara and looked down at the Human-Faced Demon Spider below, which seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. The Eight Trigrams and Strange Gates were truly terrifying, and they had made his already damaged body from his previous life even worse. Now, he really wanted to have some fun!

The character "坎" (kǎn) represents heavy water.

Bagua Qimen, Earth Plate Taoist Arts!

The world is diverse and ever-changing, and the Eight Trigrams and Qimen Dunjia are meant to control these changes throughout the universe.

The trigrams Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui are used to construct the Qimen Dunjia formation, with each trigram corresponding to the great power of nature. Zhao Xuanzhen is the master of Qimen Dunjia, and he can change the things within the formation by altering its structure. When he breaks through to a deeper level, he can even freely manipulate time and space within the Qimen Dunjia formation!

Suddenly, thousands of water droplets condensed in the air, forming an eight-sided water curtain that hovered in front of the human-faced demon spider. A bone-chilling cold spread slowly, and the surface of the water curtain reflected a bright, terrifying light. The moment the spider spear struck the water curtain, the heavy water exploded with a deafening roar, and the innate Kan water energy invaded the human-faced demon spider's solid carapace!

Heavy water relentlessly eroded flesh and blood, causing yellowish-green blood to gush out. Plants withered rapidly from the corrosive blood, while the human-faced spider writhed and struggled. Wherever its massive body swept past, ancient trees seemed to be battered by a storm, leaving the surrounding area in ruins, with not a single plant surviving!

"The character '巽' (xùn) represents a wind rope!"

The wind howled, and blue wind ropes woven from the wind pierced through the void, wrapping around the eight legs of the human-faced demon spider. The wind was flexible and held the human-faced demon spider firmly to the ground.

The human-faced spider roared madly, trying to break free of the wind ropes with brute force while shooting out its web. The web swelled in the wind and instantly formed a giant web with a diameter of five meters, reflecting a purple glow!

Innate Soul Skill: Spider Web Binding!

Unlike ordinary spider-like soul beasts that slowly spin webs, the human-faced demon spider's web can be cast instantly, is tough and extremely sticky, and carries a terrifying neurotoxin!

"The character 'Li' (离) - Blazing Flames"

As soon as Zhao Xuanzhen finished speaking, scorching flames suddenly erupted, and a giant fireball with a blazing tail descended, sweeping across the heavens and earth, attacking the spider web like a tidal wave!

The deadly poison vaporized in the high temperature. The fireball exploded through the spider web without diminishing its power. The burning sea of ​​fire surrounded the human-faced spider, and its already overburdened carapace began to melt and drip. The flames illuminated its twisted and terrified face, as well as its painful roars.

The air was filled with the stench of burnt flesh and blood. A strong will to survive filled his mind. The human-faced spider broke free from the wind ropes, its abdomen covered in wounds. Its human face emitted a shrill cry like that of a baby. Its eight long legs moved rapidly, creating a series of afterimages!

Despite its severe injuries, the human-faced spider forcibly broke through the sea of ​​fire, squeezing out the strongest power of its life from its spider spears. Its entire body sprang into the air, striking Zhao Xuanzhen, who was on top of the stone python's head. Its lower abdomen was naturally exposed, and the ferocious human face formed by white patterns rapidly enlarged, its purple eyes overflowing with a cold and cruel light!

This soul beast hated Zhao Xuanzhen to the extreme, wishing it could tear him to shreds. In mid-air, its long legs were raised high, stretching into a perfect hunting arc. Corrosive venom was attached to its legs, and combined with its own mental poison, even a little bit of it would be fatal to a soul master, let alone being stabbed!

Zhao Xuanzhen heard the trembling sound of the spider legs rubbing against the air and clearly saw the deathly aura of condensed poison. He murmured softly, and the Qimen formation turned. Four rock pillars rose from the ground, their ancient and weathered bodies seemingly telling the world about the weight of the mountains and rivers!

The human-faced demon spider stared at the ground in disbelief. Even with its thousand-year-old soul beast wisdom, it couldn't understand how the human in front of it could mobilize so many elements, each one exuding a strong sense of oppression and possessing boundless power!

You opened it!

With nowhere to dodge in mid-air, the human-faced spider could only twist its body as much as possible, but the struggle was destined to be futile. The rock pillar anticipated all the evasive trajectories and precisely pierced through the millstone-like circular body from four directions!

The character 艮 (gèn) represents a giant rock!

"boom--"

The human-faced spider fell limply, its body torn open with horrifying bloody holes. The remaining blood meandered down the rock pillar, rising into the air as it touched the ground.

A deep blue light swirled in Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes. The earth arched up as if a giant beast had awakened. The hexagrams pulled and squeezed, causing the area where the human-faced demon spider was located to be raised to a solitary peak, while the surrounding area collapsed into a ring-shaped abyss.

The character "兑" (duì) signifies flowing into a deep pool.

The human-faced demon spider had no power to resist anymore, breathing weakly and almost imperceptibly. Even on its deathbed, its eight cold, beastly eyes remained fixed on Zhao Xuanzhen, as if to extend the hatred to the next life. If it were a real soul beast, it would have exploded into a piece of external soul bone.

"ended."

Lightning flashed and thunder roared as thunderclouds slowly gathered in the sky.

The stone python dissipated, and Zhao Xuanzhen passed by the trapped beast.

“The character ‘震’ means thunder.”

The thunder finally roared!

Thunder annihilated the human-faced demon spider, its dust drifting in the wind. The legendary soul beast left no trace. A century's worth of soul power surged into the first soul ring, and a brilliant purple light shone forth!

Ascension, a thousand-year soul ring!

The Bagua Qimen Dunjia method is similar to the Ninety-Nine Eighty-One Diviners and the Feng Hou Qimen Dunjia method from Under One Person, but its specific effects differ from both.

The territory is a technique the protagonist frequently uses, and it also serves to suppress the elemental power of the Silver Dragon King. Old Tang understands this; it will be the highlight of the Heavenly Plate, while the Eight Deceptive Gods of the Divine Plate will be the protagonist's confidence in facing the Twelve God Kings in the future.

Chapter 7 Second Career Choice: The First Person to Exploit Souls (Part 1)

Light dispelled the darkness. Zhao Xuanzhen sat up from the metal cabinet. The light reflected from the metal room was quite dazzling. He subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, three burning gazes came into view, as if they wanted to pierce through his body and find out what secrets were hidden inside.

"You all look like you're going to eat me alive." Zhao Xuanzhen tightened his clothes, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"A thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider!"

"You killed it all by yourself!"

With their bright blue and emerald green eyes sparkling, Bai Haoze and Bai Zhicen knew that their soul power couldn't match Zhao Xuanzhen's. Even the wind baboon tribe that survived the first wave of attacks would have had a tough time!

"It was just a fluke."

Zhao Xuanzhen didn't take it seriously; it was just basic stuff.

“You’re not just lucky, you have absolute strength.” Leng Yaozhu walked over and ruffled Zhao Xuanzhen’s black hair. “Classes officially start tomorrow.”

"Good teacher."

"Entering the Spirit Ascension Platform to hunt soul beasts is extremely mentally taxing. You should go back and meditate and rest as soon as possible..."

Halfway through her sentence, Leng Yaozhu remembered something, reached into her storage soul tool, took out a white jade porcelain bottle, and handed it to Zhao Xuanzhen, saying gently:

"Xuanshui Pill is a pill made by the Xuanming Sect using the essence blood of dozens of water-attribute soul beasts and medicinal herbs. Its medicinal effects are rich and long-lasting, cleansing the marrow and enhancing the innate soul power of a soul master."

As the number of spirit beasts dwindles, the price of Xuan Shui Pills skyrockets, with even a single pill costing a million Federal Coins at auctions still falling short of demand. Leng Yaozhu, initially worried about Zhao Xuanzhen's lack of talent, personally visited the Xuanming Sect, only to find her own disciple had awakened into a monstrous genius.

"The Mysterious Water Pill probably won't be of much use to me."

Zhao Xuanzhen certainly remembered the pill that changed Huo Yuhao's talent ten thousand years ago, but he was born with full soul power, and his true self endowed him with a pure and powerful body.

Increase innate soul power by one level?

Tch, useless thing!

Leng Yaozhu said calmly, "You've already taken it, just treat it like candy."

That's outrageously extravagant!

Zhao Xuanzhen sighed that he had actually become a dog-owning tycoon in this life. He honestly uncorked the jade bottle and put a Xuan Shui Pill into his mouth.

AUV, it tastes so good!

As expected, the effect was minimal. After tasting the saltiness of the Xuan Shui Dan, Zhao Xuanzhen bid farewell to Leng Yaozhu and the other two women, took the elevator back to the ninety-ninth floor, and summoned the Lingrui Water Capybara as soon as he entered the room.

Lingrui's cultivation level leaped from six hundred years to a thousand years, and his aura became more and more profound and heavy. His physical changes were not significant, but the luster of the yin-yang mark between his eyebrows deepened, and the Bagua runes appeared faintly.

"Tuntun, are you comprehending my esoteric Taoist techniques?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked.

A spirit with exceptional talent can learn various abilities of a spirit master. Jiang Nannan, the Soft Rabbit Douluo, is most famous for her Rouge Soft Tendon Python, having learned a full set of soft techniques as well as top-tier spirit skills such as Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation. The Spiritual Capybara, on the other hand, seems to be heading towards the realm of esoteric Taoist arts.

“It’s too complicated, I can’t understand it.” Lingrui the capybara shook its head. “I can only slowly communicate with heaven and earth and comprehend the power of elements through the Yin and Yang attributes. I can’t command nature at will like you.”

"Alright."

Upon hearing that the Lingrui capybara could not use the Bagua Qimen method, Zhao Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief. The Qimen formation was extremely dangerous and it was very easy to become immersed in it and unable to extricate oneself. He was afraid that the Lingrui capybara would follow in the footsteps of the losers.

"Have you noticed your fortunes have changed?" Lingrui the capybara looked up at Zhao Xuanzhen.

"Fortune?" Zhao Xuanzhen was slightly taken aback.

"After the fusion, the fortune within me will be shared with you. From what I sense, your fortune is fluctuating rapidly. Last time I did this, the next day humans launched a surprise attack on the Star Dou Great Forest, and I was turned into a spirit..."

"The theory of destiny is unreliable!" Zhao Xuanzhen said firmly.

"Your fortune is exactly the opposite of mine; good fortune will surely descend upon you within a day."

"Then we have no choice but to believe it."

Zhao Xuanzhen immediately changed his tune: "Could it be that a million-year-old soul beast will come to offer itself as a sacrifice tonight?"

"That's very greedy."

Lingrui, the capybara, stared blankly for a long time before muttering, "Making a wish on a lucky omen as if it were a dragon? You are really being presumptuous, human!"

As night fell, Zhao Xuanzhen, filled with anticipation for auspicious omens, ate, went to bed, and meditated to cultivate.

With a calm mind and no thoughts, the meridians flow freely, moving with the Qi, circulating throughout the body, and returning to the Dantian.

……

Early morning, on the 100th floor of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, at the residence of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

The warm sunlight shone through the velvet curtains, turning the marble floor into a golden amber hue. The crystal chandelier in the center of the hall hung with hundreds of prisms, each refraction etching a golden-red streak in the air.

Leng Yaozhu sat gracefully on the sofa. Time had left no trace on her stunningly beautiful face. Her long, crimson hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and beneath her dark eyebrows were a pair of crimson eyes that seemed to flow quietly like water.

"teacher."

A knock sounded on the door, and a boy's clear voice came from outside.

A smile played on her exquisite face. Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, and the door creaked open, sunlight spilling onto the ground. A handsome young man walked in against the light, dressed in a blue crane-patterned robe, his black hair simply tied up, accompanied by a capybara.

Zhao Xuanzhen turned her gaze to Leng Yaozhu, who was wearing a pure white dress today, without a single blemish, exuding a serene and distant aura.

The master and disciple sat facing each other, with Tun Tun lying next to Zhao Xuanzhen. Leng Yaozhu spoke first: "Is your soul power circulating smoothly during your first meditation practice? Are there any obstacles?"

"all the best."

Zhao Xuanzhen's cultivation method differed greatly from that of mainstream Soul Masters. He incorporated the secrets of his previous life's Daoist arts, which was the meditation method most suitable for his growth.

"That's good." Leng Yaozhu nodded. "I thought about it all night last night, wondering where I should start teaching you."

With your formidable physical attributes and masterful close-combat skills, your ability to manipulate the world at your own disposal is unheard of, and your abilities have already formed a complete system.

"With such a superior talent awakened, Xiao Ling and Liu Yun, if they were alive, would surely be happy for you."

Mentioning his parents in this life, Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes rippled. Although Leng Yaozhu remained silent about the cause of their deaths, Zhao Xuanzhen, having been reincarnated, possessed a memory far exceeding that of an ordinary infant, and knew everything clearly from beginning to end. It was a snow-capped mountain, and his parents were warriors of the Blood God Legion, guarding the abyss passage for over a decade before ultimately dying at the hands of the abyss tides.

They had only spent less than a day together, so to say they had a deep bond would be an exaggeration. However, Zhao Xuanzhen appreciated and respected them, for they were heroes who died protecting the people of Douluo Continent.

The Blood God Legion guarded the abyss for a thousand years, sacrificing countless soldiers one after another. In the end, that one hammer blow easily brought them down, adding a touch of tragedy to their heroic deeds.

The gods saved Douluo from fire and water.

As for why Douluo is caught in such a predicament...

Don't ask!

Now, Zhao Xuanzhen has no means to confront the gods, and certain thoughts can only be buried deep in his heart...

Keep a low profile, bide your time, and seize the opportunity again!

Seeing her disciple's change in mood, Leng Yaozhu realized she probably shouldn't have mentioned the dead, so she quickly changed the subject: "Xuanzhen, your path of martial spirit just needs to proceed step by step. Today, your teacher will talk to you about the pinnacle of soul guidance technology..."

Battle armor.

Chapter 8: Choosing a Second Career, The Number One at Exploiting Souls (Part 2)

"Battle Armor can be traced back to the Sun and Moon Federation's predecessor, the Sun and Moon Empire, ten thousand years ago."

The Soul Masters of that time envisioned whether Soul Tools could be used to amplify Soul Masters, allowing their overall strength to leapfrog levels. Thus, humanoid Soul Tools were born. "Leng Yaozhu said.

"The ancestor of the Spirit Pagoda, the Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, made a second improvement on the humanoid soul tool, creating the prototype of the battle armor recognized by the soul master world, the Ice Extreme Battle God Armor."

Xuanzhen, you are my direct disciple. I have set two goals for you, and I hope you will always remember them and strive towards them.

First, the Quasi-God of Limit Douluo.

Second, the four-word battle armor master.

Leng Yaozhu's expression was serious. Being born into a noble family does not mean being lazy and idle for the rest of your life. On the contrary, it means being strict, especially for geniuses, who are the source of the strength of various forces.

With the God Realm no longer existing, the Limit Douluo Quasi-God is the pinnacle of a Soul Master's personal cultivation, and the Four-Word Battle Armor Master is also the peak of Soul Guidance Techniques. Leng Yaozhu has been training Zhao Xuanzhen to achieve these two goals since he was six years old, which is equivalent to clearly telling him that he is the limit of the Douluo Continent!

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded emphatically, but silently told himself that the Quasi-God Four-Word Battle Armor Master was only halfway there, and he would surely surpass the limits of the world!

Leng Yaozhu curled her lips and said, "There are currently four levels of battle armor, from one to four characters, and the difference between each level is enormous."
