Tiandou Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament

The Continental Advanced Elite Competition is held every five years, rotated among the four great empires of the continent, and significantly boosts local tourism and commerce during its duration.

Selling tickets alone is enough to bring hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coins in revenue to the imperial treasury.

"His Majesty is inviting me as a special guest? To be seated in the viewing gallery?" Xue Yuheng was somewhat surprised, as there were still three days left until the opening ceremony of the competition.

He had not expected Emperor Vister of the Heaven Dou Empire to invite a junior like him to the viewing gallery; this was an supreme honor.

In the viewing gallery of the Tiantou competition, only direct members of the royal family or individuals of the same status as Du Busi could have the privilege of being seated.

It seems the possibility that his daughter, Princess Weina, might advance to the level of a Limit Douluo is very tempting to this Emperor Vister.

Three days ago, under the suggestion of Xue Yuheng, Du Busi successfully harvested some Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flowers from the depths of the Sunset Forest.

Whether the toxicity of the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flowers can be fused to allow Du Busi's Body Martial Soul to acquire the attribute of Ultimate Poison, and thereby step into the level of a Limit Douluo, remains to be seen.

Everything depends on Du Busi's own fortune.

Xue Yuheng's Power of Creation has no effect on males.

"Your Highness Prince Gan, please do not refuse, otherwise it will be difficult for me to report back to His Majesty." The person who came to deliver the message was a second-rank official of the Heaven Dou Empire, which was enough to show the importance Vister placed on Xue Yuheng.

"Since Uncle Vister has extended such a warm invitation, as a junior, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse. Please convey to His Majesty that I will attend the opening ceremony.

Douling and Heavenly Soul have been divided since the continental war four thousand years ago; it is time to establish friendly diplomatic relations.

I believe Emperor Vister thinks the same, does he not?" Xue Yuheng smiled.

That second-rank official, well-versed in the ways of officialdom, smiled without a word; such matters of state were not for him to interject.

After a few polite exchanges and the guest's departure, Xiao Xiao walked out of the suite's bedroom and sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Little Xue, after this competition, I want to go home, and then go to Tianzheng Academy..."

Xiao Xiao had been out for eight months, and adding the year spent in the inheritance grounds, this trip with Xue Yuheng had already taken a long time just to visit three factions.

As a classical aristocratic family, the Soul Suppressing Family had instilled the concept of family interests first in Xiao Xiao since she was young; this was her first time being away from home for so long.

"Of course you can. With our current level... it won't be a problem to report to the academy a bit later," Xue Yuheng comforted her.

The little girl had told him more than once these past few days that she wanted to go home. She was just a child, so it was understandable.

Xue Yuheng was not particularly homesick; he was single-mindedly focused on quickly improving his own strength and realm to unify the continent sooner, after all, the one in the heavens was about to be swept away.

Before that, Xue Yuheng must at least become a god to be able to intervene in the affairs of the God Realm.

What's more, the Ice God was still lurking in the Far North, and Xue Yuheng had already crossed paths with him in the Ice Empress's heart-tribulation illusion.

Xue Yuheng did not believe that the original Ice God, the master of the inner demons, was unaware of this.

The Wind Dragon King's original law power was stolen by that Ice God; regardless, since he had taken someone's favor, Xue Yuheng had to avenge this for him.

Time was tight, and the task was heavy.

After completing her Martial Soul evolution, Xiao Xiao obtained two soul rings from the Wind Dragon King, both of Dragon King quality, plus two soul skills from the Dragon King's Wings.

Xiao Xiao now possessed a total of six wind-attribute soul skills, all of which were god-level.

As the master of the laws of wind and space, the six soul skills left by the Wind Dragon King for Xiao Xiao were exceptionally powerful, among which was the Thirty-Three Heavens Storm.

Of course, Xiao Xiao had to be in the state of "Divine Dragon Transformation" to unleash god-level dragon-type soul skills; in her normal state, she generally used soul skills in their ordinary form.

For example, the Thirty-Three Heavens Storm: the first to the thirtieth level could be activated in her normal state, while the final three levels required Xiao Xiao to use the "Divine Dragon Transformation" to unleash.

As for Xue Yuheng, he currently possessed two soul skills from the Ice Empress's sacrifice, plus two soul skills from the Ice Empress's Scorpion Tail, giving him a total of four ice-attribute soul skills.

Under the stimulation of Xue Yuheng's Power of Creation, the soul skills that had performed poorly in the original work due to the Ice Empress's soul bone had all been improved to a certain extent.

Currently, without using the "Divine Dragon Transformation," Xiao Xiao possessed combat power at the high-level Soul Venerable rank, while Xue Yuheng, as a one-ring support-type soul master, had combat power roughly at the entry-level Soul Venerable rank.

These were the conclusions reached after the two of them engaged in actual combat with the members of the Moon Shadow Squad.

The next day, the busy Xue Yuheng took Xiao Xiao to visit the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was located in Seven Treasure City in the eastern suburbs of Tiantou City. This was the old site, rebuilt on the ruins after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed by the Spirit Hall; the headquarters of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was located within the territory of the Douling Empire.

The Golden Crow Family, the Soul Suppressing Family, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect were collectively known as the three great families of Douling.

Ning Tian's father, the Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Yanci, received the two of them very warmly.

Ning Yanci had brought his daughter to watch the Tiantou competition this time; Seven Treasure City, built against the mountain, was equivalent to a resort, and he had not expected to encounter something like a humanoid soul beast undergoing the Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation.

As the Crown Prince of Douling, Xue Yuheng had naturally met Ning Yanci before.

For ten thousand years, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had always been on good terms with the Douling Royal Family.

Strictly speaking, Xue Yuheng could call Ning Yanci "Uncle Ning."

After some empty flattery, Ning Yanci changed from his kind-hearted appearance and said seriously: "Nephew Yuheng, I have read the letter you gave to Ning Tian.

If you can truly make the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda immortal forever, my Nine Treasures Glazed Sect will take the gamble and board your ship."

The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was not just for support; it also had a sense for the treasures of the world. Under Ning Yanci's perception, his nephew Yuheng's temperament was completely different from what it was before he was six.

It was as if he had become a different person, possessing an extra layer of mysterious aura that made his Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul feel a sense of oppression.

To be able to make the continent's number one support Martial Soul submit involuntarily, Xue Yuheng must be carrying some extraordinary treasure.

Based on the day the heavens and earth changed color, and the powerful female experts by the side of Xue Yuheng, Ning Yanci deduced that there was likely a terrifying force behind Xue Yuheng.

As for the Douling Offering Hall, Ning Yanci knew it like the back of his hand; he had never heard of any female expert capable of fighting Du Busi to a standstill.

In truth, before entering the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Heavenly Dancing Maiden only possessed the strength of level 96 at most.

Under the guidance of the Wind Dragon King, the deductions of Xue Yuheng's Wordless Heavenly Book, and the assistance of the Power of Creation, the seven women including Moon Shadow spent over half a year in the Hall of Inheritance successfully developing a seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill.

Their combat power approached that of a Limit Douluo, though they had yet to engage in a real, full-scale battle against one.

Xue Yuheng was also unable to determine if the seven women truly possessed the strength to contend with a Limit-level combatant.

"Uncle Ning, you have made a correct choice," Xue Yuheng said with a smile.

How could he not be happy that the continent's number one financial magnate had boarded his ship?

Future wars, cultivation resources, developing forces, talent... everything required money.

In Xue Yuheng's eyes, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was nothing more than a walking money bag, rich and naive.

Ning Yanci smiled with relief, "I hope so."

After dinner.

Routine business.

The female soul masters of Seven Treasure City lined up to await Xue Yuheng's "inspection."

In this way, another two days of Xue Yuheng's time were consumed.

During these two days, Xiao Xiao had become good friends and besties with Wu Feng and Ning Tian.

It was unclear what kind of ideas Wu Feng had been spreading to Xiao Xiao every day, but Xue Yuheng found that his work with the young married women of Seven Treasure City and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was becoming increasingly difficult to carry out.

"Little Xue, you must promise not to have any physical contact with any old aunties. Otherwise, I won't let you out of this door!" Xiao Xiao spread her arms, pouting indignantly.

Xiao Xiao recalled the shameful manga that Wu Feng had shown her; Xue Yuheng was hot-blooded and held the "power of life and death" over those women.

Wasn't he the perfect archetype for what Wu Feng called a "NTR" protagonist?

Xue Yuheng's face turned black.

The white lotus he had raised had been corrupted just like that.

After a bit of "disciplinary education" for Xiao Xiao, she tearfully confessed everything Wu Feng had told her.

Wu Feng!

Fine, very fine.

In a secret chamber in Seven Treasure City provided by the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

"Xue Yuheng... I was wrong... I won't dare to do it again... please, let me go..." Wu Feng's red hair was disheveled, and her breathing was unstable.

Xue Yuheng said calmly, "These are all necessary conditions for your martial soul to evolve... not a single one can be skipped, continue..."

"But I really can't take it anymore, I beg you..." Wu Feng's complexion grew increasingly flushed, like a ripened peach, carrying a hint of charm that could not hide her shame and annoyance.

On this very day, Wu Feng was "straightened out."

Ning Yanci had summoned all the female disciples of the sect to Seven Treasure City, and from the vast crowd, Xue Yuheng selected three other female geniuses besides Wu Feng and Ning Tian.

These three young women were all level 70+ soul saints in their twenties. After Xue Yuheng helped their martial souls evolve to the demigod level, he did not suggest they go to Shrek.

Planting them in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect to act as leeches was also a good idea.

Xue Yuheng did not doubt the loyalty of women whose martial souls had been evolved by him.

Because once you have witnessed the near-divine power and transformation that comes with martial soul evolution, you can no longer tolerate your original mediocre talent and ordinary life.

Just as one who has seen the magnificence of a towering mountain is no longer willing to be trapped by a low mound.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's strategy of casting a wide net among commoners was correct; the proportion of geniuses in the sect was far higher than that of the Xuanming Sect or the Heavenly Dragon Gate.

Including Wu Feng and Ning Tian, there were a total of seven people recorded in the Wordless Heavenly Book.

The one with the highest talent was Ning Tian, a [D-grade talent], while the other six were [Mediocre] grade.

Xue Yuheng was in no hurry to complete the martial soul evolution for Ning Tian; once Ning Tian consumed the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, her talent should improve further.

In this way, according to Xue Yuheng's deductions, the evolution path of her martial soul would not be the demigod-level Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, but something even higher.

However, after Xue Yuheng helped evolve Wu Feng's Red Dragon martial soul into the demigod-level Crimson Dragon, Ning Tian felt that Xue Yuheng was neglecting her, leading her to feel anxious and insecure.

Upon learning that Xue Yuheng had a better plan for his daughter, Ning Yanci could only comfort Ning Tian and tell her not to overthink things.

On the morning of the third day, amidst the sound of intense, rhythmic salutes.

The Tiandou Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament officially began.
