Points Earned from Killing Evil Soul Masters, Obtaining the Angry Dragon Art

"If I were in the timeline of the first installment, back when Tang San had just arrived on the Douluo Continent, I reckon I wouldn't have been able to earn this many points."

Zhong Kui stood there holding his Bronze Sword, looking down at the corpses of so many Evil Soul Masters, and offered a faint smile.

The reason he said this was because during the first Douluo Continent era, there was an organization called Martial Soul Hall. This organization had both the ambition and the capability to unify the continent, and it provided benefits to civilian soul masters, allowing them to live with more dignity so they didn't have to resort to robbing the common folk. Furthermore, Martial Soul Hall specifically hunted down Evil Soul Masters.

As long as a soul master's martial soul was evil in nature and they used murder as a means of cultivation, they would be branded an Evil Soul Master, either to be locked away in the City of Slaughter or executed on the spot.

Back in the first Douluo Continent era, if one merely possessed an evil-attributed martial soul, they would not necessarily be classified as an Evil Soul Master.

After all, the Martial Soul Hall Pope at the time, Bibi Dong, possessed two martial souls that were both evil in nature, yet she still served as Pope.

However, in the timelines of Peerless Tang Sect and even Legend of the Dragon King, any soul master with an evil-attributed martial soul was automatically classified as an Evil Soul Master.

They would be hunted down by the Douluo Continent, the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and even Shrek Academy.

The problem was, if members within Shrek Academy itself possessed evil-attributed martial souls, it would be dismissed as "circumstances beyond their control" or "a tragic fate." To put it bluntly, Shrek, and even the high-ranking royalty of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, were not exactly righteous entities.

This was precisely why Evil Soul Masters became increasingly rampant in the Peerless Tang Sect timeline.

They even reached the point where they could thrash the Douluo Three Kingdoms and crush Shrek Academy; after all, the Holy Spirit Cult possessed two Limit Douluo, while Shrek Academy had only one.

This was the order under Shrek's leadership.

The order led by Tang San, the Great God King Tang.

With Martial Soul Hall gone, the common folk had no way to survive under the rampant Evil Soul Masters. They might live through one day only to be slaughtered the next, their entire families wiped out.

It could be said that the difficulty of clearing the Peerless Tang Sect timeline was exceptionally high, yet it was only the third hardest. The second hardest was Legend of the Dragon King, and the highest was Ultimate Douluo.

After all, those two eras were times completely mastered by Tang San; the entire Douluo Continent and the God Realm had begun to be controlled by the Tang family.

Trying to turn the tables in those two eras, defeating Tang San, and overthrowing the Tang family's rule was far too difficult—only top-tier powerhouses could even attempt it.

"Let me see what kind of battle skills I can acquire now."

Zhong Kui opened his transparent panel and the system store, scanning the many battle skills from Battle Through the Heavens. One skill in particular, named [Angry Dragon Art], caught his eye.

"A high-tier Xuan-grade battle skill. I seem to recall that in the Battle Through the Heavens anime, when Xiao Yan was confronting the Misty Cloud Sect and dealing with that watered-down Dou Ancestor, Yun Shan, he unleashed this move in the manga. The only thing was, no one knew the name of the move, and Yun Shan never said it either.

It seems that in the motion comic, they named this move the Angry Dragon Art. If that's the case, it should be worth buying...

After all, it is a skill that could trade blows with Xiao Yan's Buddha Fury Fire Lotus during his Dou King period."

Zhong Kui recalled the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus Xiao Yan used in the motion comic, which had already fused the power of three Heavenly Flames. The fusion of three flames made it incredibly powerful, yet Yun Shan had used this Angry Dragon Art to clash with it, resulting in a draw.

Although the primary reason was that Yun Shan was a Dou Ancestor whose Dou Qi energy far exceeded Xiao Yan's, the fact remained that Xiao Yan's Buddha Fury Fire Lotus at that time was a fusion of three Heavenly Flames.

For the Angry Dragon Art to clash with a three-flame Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, it was certainly a formidable move, especially considering it was only a Xuan-grade battle skill.

"I'll buy it. Consider it just another skill in my arsenal; it's cheap enough at only 500 points."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring the Angry Dragon Art."

Moments later, the scroll for the Angry Dragon Art appeared in Zhong Kui's hand.

"The effects of this Angry Dragon Art are quite good; it's already very powerful, ranking high among Xuan-grade skills. Its destructive power and lethality are even higher than the Roaming Dragon Art. The Roaming Dragon Art is a sword technique, while the Angry Dragon Art is like a sniper bullet—perfect for head-on energy clashes."

Finally, Zhong Kui stored the Angry Dragon Art scroll into his storage ring. It was the same model as Yao Lao's Bone Flame Ring, though it was merely a replica—it contained none of Yao Lao's techniques or cultivation methods, just the same design.

Zhong Kui then continued his journey toward the Sun Moon Empire, preparing to develop his influence there and establish a firm foothold.

"Little Yuhao, you must understand that Shrek Academy and our Tang Sect had a very close relationship long ago, as close as family. Dean Flender and the Tang Sect founder, Tang San, were, as the legends say, like teacher and student. That is why Shrek Academy grants the Tang Sect a few quotas, and this one is for you.

Beibei and I have basically passed the exams and can remain at Shrek Academy.

But no matter what, you must work hard. You know that Shrek Academy's exams are exceptionally strict. If you fail to pass the eliminations, you will have to leave Shrek Academy or live in Shrek City. We won't be able to help much because our Tang Sect is currently... sigh..."

Tang Ya found it truly difficult to voice the rest. After all, the Sea God Tang San had personally established this super sect, and it possessed cultivation methods and secret techniques that predated the Secret of the Body by a long time.

Yet, to end up with only two or three kittens left in the sect was truly absurd.

Beibei understood why Tang Ya couldn't bring herself to say it. In reality, if it weren't for Tang Ya's desire to revive the Tang Sect, Beibei would never have joined it, nor would he have chosen to associate with a sect that was essentially finished.

In the original timeline, the reason Beibei was willing to dedicate himself to helping Huo Yuhao revive the Tang Sect was entirely because he loved Tang Ya.

Even when Tang Ya fell and became an Evil Soul Master, Beibei was still willing to help her. One must realize that Evil Soul Masters were universally reviled on the continent, yet Beibei didn't despise Tang Ya for her status; he even shielded her and made excuses for her.

It could be said that Beibei was a slave to love, and a selfish person at that. These Shrek people treated their own words like flatulence.

When others were Evil Soul Masters, they were heinous criminals who had to be eradicated immediately, but when it came to their own people like Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya, they suddenly had "hidden hardships."

Utterly shameless.
